We study dimensioning of wireless mesh networks with elas- tic trac subject to flow-level performance constraints. The objective of the dimensioning is to provide order-of-magnitu- de estimates of the required transmission resources in the network. The results can be used to evaluate the feasibil- ity and sensitivity of a given network scenario, consisting of node locations, the interference model and the trac matrix. We apply a network model which incorporates the dynamic flow-level behavior and MAC layer wireless interference. We formulate the dimensioning problems for two capacity pa- rameters resulting from dierent interference models. Fur- thermore, three approximation schemes are presented to fa- cilitate the computations. The approaches are illustrated by numerical examples.
