Load-Aware Channel Assignment Exploiting Partially Overlapping Channels for Wireless Mesh Networks
Yuting Liu, Ramachandran Venkatesan, Cheng Li · 2010
In this paper, we propose a new method, called Load-Aware Channel Assignment Exploiting Partially Overlapping Channels (Load-Aware CAEPO), which uses not only non-overlapping channels but also partially overlapping channels. We further improve our scheme by introducing the concept of node grouping to enhance the performance, and develop another new channel assignment algorithm called Load-Aware CAEPO-G. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed schemes can significantly improve the aggregated network performance.
