CROSS-LAYER FRAMEWORK IN WIRELESS MESH NETWORK USING BIO-INSPIRED ALGORITHM AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed are a cross-layer framework in a wireless mesh network using a bio-inspired algorithm and an operating method thereof, wherein network state measurement and throughput can be improved in a wireless mesh network by using an ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm. The cross-layer framework in a wireless mesh network using a bio-inspired algorithm comprises: a data structure formed in each node of the wireless mesh network to collect and update information on each node through an ant packet; and a cross-layer part for performing at least one among channel assignment, routing, link scheduling, buffer management and frame scheduling with respect to the control data flow of the data structure, thereby dynamically assigning channels.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2016
