Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are considered as a potential solution for offering low-cost access to broadband services. It is dynamically self-organized and self-configured. In WMN, traffic between mesh nodes and the internet is routed over the mesh gateways. Even though there are a lot of researches have been carried out in the routing, still it becomes a significant issue in WMN. By considering routing as a factor, this study establishes and examines an optimal wireless mesh path selection algorithm for video transmission through multiple paths using fuzzy under wireless channel conditions. The proposed path selection algorithm is intended to improve the performance of both pro-active and re-active routing protocols for the transmission of video frames in single and multichannel wireless mesh networks. The simulation results shows that the performance of the proposed Optimal Multipath Routing Protocol (OMRP) for video transmission gives better results while considering delay, throughput, congestion control and higher percentage of packet delivery ratiowhen compared with other path selection algorithms.
