Channel Assignment in Multi-radio Multi-channel Wireless Mesh Network by Topology Approach
Li Zhang, Xinheng Wang, Caixing Liu · 2009
Wireless mesh nodes equipping multi-radio interfaces on each node and using multi-channel for transmission can greatly enhance the network performance. In this paper, a genetic algorithm, genetic tabu search, was presented to solve the channel assignment problem. The algorithm was evaluated by simulation on NS2 and compared with greedy and multi-radio unification protocol algorithms. Simulation results showed that the performance of developed tabu search algorithm greatly increased the throughput of the wireless mesh network and outperformed than the other two algorithms.
