Wireless mesh networks have drawn significant attention from academia and industry as a fast, easy, and inexpensive solution for broadband wireless access. One of the most important issues is how to efficiently support the video communications, which is expected to be the killer application for future wireless networks. To solve this issue, the proposal is to employ multipath routing in WMN, so that the traffic can be uniformly distributed across the network. It is important to find the multiple paths with minimum joints to achieve good traffic engineering performance in WMNs. The main objective of this work is to provide an enhancing framework for video transmission in Wireless Mesh Network. To support video communications in an efficient way a new framework that is the multipath routing for Multiple Description (MD) video delivery over IEEE 802. 11e based Wireless Mesh Network with enhanced version of Guaranteed-Rate (GR) packet scheduling algorithm has been proposed. This gives video traffic high preference in multiservice environment
