Load Aware Channel Assignment for Multi Interface Wireless Mesh Network

摘要

The aggregate capacity of wireless mesh networks can be improved significantly by equipping each node with multiple interfaces and by using multiple channel in order to reduce the effect of interfaces .Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have the potential for improving network capacity by employing multiple radios and multiple channels (MRMC).Several efforts have been made to increase capacity. One such effort is by utilization of multiple radios and multiple channels for data transmission which improves network throughput. Research is in progress to offer optimal network throughput by efficiently utilizing multiple channels in multi-hop networks. This paper focuses on the channel assignment algorithm for multi-interface multichannel wireless mesh networks based on the traffic flow of the link, which equitably distribute equalization for the business flow between nodes so that the distribution through the link on the flow is equal. The channel assignment improves network capacity by setting the value to reduce interference with the overall network interference.
