1. A wireless mesh network system using electrostatic field model based potential routing scheme comprising:

  • a plurality of mesh nodes for calculating a potential value by using at least one virtual node generated within a transmission area when a predefined boundary node condition is satisfied, and routing a packet according to a predetermined packet transmission order by using the potential value; and

    a plurality of gateway nodes, located in wireless mesh network, for functioning as gateways to provide an Internet connection to the plurality of mesh nodes,wherein, when no neighboring nodes exist in two or three consecutive quadrants within the transmission area, the plurality of mesh nodes determine themselves to be boundary nodes, however if determined as boundary nodes, they generate at least one virtual node within the transmission area.
