Most of the products in the market implement DSS by connecting to Ethernet. However, requirement for deploying access point to a place without Ethernet plug is still growing. On the other hand, original 802.11 defined frames for Wireless Distribution System (WDS) but did not define how to form the topology and how to use the WDS frames. For the growing requirement of Wireless Distribution System (WDS), 802.11 TGs is now working on developing the specification of 802.11 mesh network, which is called ESS Mesh. Now, SEE-Mesh / Wi-Mesh joint proposal is a basis for 802.11s specification. In this proposal, mandatory protocol is defined under a flexible framework, which provides extensibility for future specification upgrades or user define applications. In this thesis, a platform for 802.11 mesh network is implemented, and several enhancements proposed to provide better performance. By using this platform, issues that only occurs in reality is easier to be figured out and evaluating the effect of new enhancements is more practical.Chapter 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Deployment of Original 802.11 Networks 1 1.1.1 Pre-Configured WDS Networks 2 1.1.2 Centralized Management WDS Networks 3 1.1.3 Mesh Networks 3 1.2 Motivation and Background 3 1.2.1 Why Infrastructure mode is used?
