RESUMO

Modern wireless metropolitan area networks (WMAN) correspond to technological tendency that has contributed to the growth of broadband services availability all over the world. These networks are currently based on technologies WiMAX, Wi-Fi ad hoc e mesh, which support complimentary features, thus allowing the design of multi- service hybrid WMANs, which correspond to a more flexible and cost-effective solution. This approach is the key research subject of this thesis, which requires that several technological challenges are handled, aiming at maximizing network coverage and performance. In this thesis, this problem is addressed by adopting network planning techniques and protocols that jointly contribute to increase coverage and efficiency of hybrid WMAN. In this context, two major aspects are considered: routing in Wi-Fi ad hoc and mesh and planning of hybrid WMAN. The results from this work correspond to significant contributions for each subject and can be adopted for increasing efficiency of hybrid WMAN solutions
