A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT IN RURAL WIRELESS MESH NETWORKS

摘要

A method and system for allocating channels in a rural mesh networking so that maximum number of links can operate on full-duplex mode without interfering with each other. The present invention considers any link in the network graph to consist of two directed edges to which a non-interfering channel is assigned in such a manner that at any node the set of channels on the outgoing directed edges is different from the incoming edges. The system uses IEEE 802.11b radio equipments and directional antennas.
