隨著無線網狀網路(WMN)存取裝置技術迅速發展以及普及性增加。透過無線存取技術，使用者能夠在無線電信含蓋範圍內進行存取網際網路之服務，也可降低營運成本與減少網路建置的時間。而無線網狀網路的路由問題也是多跳點式網路的重要議題之一，在過度使用頻寬的區域，因為壅塞而導致封包丟棄，網路延遲，造成整體網路效能下降。本論文針對正方格網狀網路系統架構，提出一個能夠分散網路負載的的平衡路由策略，透過比例分配路由與指定傳送路由兩種不同路由方式，只要整體網路流量不集中在一個節點上，我們就可以將節點的流量分布均勻，讓頻道有效被利用，減少壅塞程度的區塊，進而改善不平均的網路流量所造成的頻寬浪費，平衡整體網路流量，提高網路效能。

With easy deployment of wireless mesh networks (WMNs), WMNs have become very popular recently. Through technique of wireless access, users are able to proceed with internet access within the range of wireless communication, while it makes operating costs lower and network-installation time less. Routing strategy of WMNs is one of important issues of multi-hop networks. With network congestion, it leads to packets discarded and latency increased, resulting in a significant degradation of network performance.
This thesis proposes a balanced routing strategy for wireless mesh networks. Rational routing and designated routing operations are employed to distribute traffic evenly. Except for the total traffic originating at only one node, the proposed strategy can distribute the traffic evenly to the gateway. The simulation results show that no bottlenecks exist in the wireless mesh networks such that the proposed routing strategy improves the network performance.
