We start systematical analysis on the performance of managed mesh network (MMN), which provides communication function in the concept of community service platform in a local region. Towards the performance evaluation framework for MMN, we herein analyze the capacity provision of one base station (BS) under the constraints of physical transmission rate and available spectrum using queueing theory. In the related work of capacity analysis on mesh network, most of them have not put effort on the determination of exact capacity, or they investigated backhaul mesh network, which is different from MMN. Some other researchers investigated the architecture similar to MMN, but they have not investigated actual traffic processed in the transmission queue. Our modeling solves these problems and determines the exact capacity provided by each BS in an MMN. At the same time, we perform extensive simulations to verify the correctness of our modeling under a set of scenarios with different main parameters. After model verification, we apply our modeling results to a city and show how the capacity of one user at peak time changes with the deployment cost.
