Wireless Mesh Network is a promising technology with many challenges yet to be addressed. Novel\nand efficient algorithms need to be developed for routing and admission control with the objective\nto increase the acceptance ratio of new calls without affecting the Quality of Service (QoS) of\nthe existing calls and to maintain the QoS level provided for the mobile calls. In this paper, a novel\nMarkov Decision-based Admission Control and Routing (MDACR) algorithm is proposed. The MDACR\nalgorithm finds a near optimal solution using the value iteration method. To increase the admission\nrate for both types of calls, a multi-homing admission and routing algorithm for handoff and\nnew calls is proposed. This algorithm associates the user with two different access points which is\nbeneficial in a highly congested network and proposes a new routing metric to assure seamless\nhandoff in the network. Our proposed algorithm outperforms other algorithms in the literature in\nterms of handoff delay, blocking probability, and number of hard handoff.
