Wireless Mesh Network is an emerging technology that allow users to access information and services electronically using service discovery protocol. The seamless connectivity and mobility feature of WMN motivated us in the design of efficient and scalable service discovery scheme that assures certain level of quality of service. The proposed model uses routing clients which communicate with Service Caches to register for services. The gateway nodes discovers quality services by using backbone based distributed directory structure. The proposed model is scalable and reduces discovery overhead, duplicate information dissemination, and energy consumption.
