Self-Configuration Channel in the Wireless Networks
Eric Douglas Teixeira, Carlos Becker Westphall, Carla Merkle Westphall · 2009
This paper describes the importance of choosing channels in the wireless local networks (WLAN) performance. The massive use of channel 6, the default channel in most 802.11 networks, usually impacts at least, 100% in the throughput of the network. In some cases, considering the number of 802.11 networks around and the time, the impact can be as high as 1200%. The protocols implemented in the 802.11b/g/n networks use carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA), a multiplexing structure between users. This paper proposes a new structure of multiplexing between users and access points to improve the performance of these networks.
