Abstract The Mesh Networks Alliance (MNA) describes MAC layer enhancements to IEEE 802.11 to provide efficient methods for Mesh WLAN. It offers a flexible design, which coexists with legacy 802.11 devices on a single channel. MNA reuses standard 802.11 technology such as Contention Free Period (CFP), Beacon frames and Transmission Opportunity (TXOP). Furthermore, the Mesh Networks Alliance offers a security concept for the distribution of 802.11i keys.
