Abstract

This paper examines four scalability hypotheses of interest for mobile meshes via the following questions: 'Do meshes self-generate capacity as new nodes join?' 'Are meshes more spectrally efficient?' 'Do directional antennas confer significant benefits for handhelds below 3.5GHz?' 'No' is the answer because these hypotheses, whilst having a theoretical basis, can be shown to rely on inappropriate real world assumptions. However the following hypothesis is found to be true: 'May meshes improve spectrum utilisation?'.
