"Designing for Network and Service Continuity in Wireless Mesh Networks" describes performance predictability of the new wireless mesh network paradigm, and describes considerations in designing networks from the perspective of survivability and service continuity metrics.  The work provides design insights for network design researchers and industry professionals. It includes designs for new mesh networks and extensions of existing networks with predictable performance.
