Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) consist of several small routers relaying packets wirelessly toward the destination or the Internet. A dense deployment enables the rapid creation of wireless access networks at a reasonable cost. The capacity of a wireless mesh network can be increased by using a diverse set of channels to allow simultaneous transmissions without causing interference. An interesting approach is to use one fixed wireless network interface for receiving and at least one switchable interface for sending. However, such a channel assignment suffers from switching overhead.
