Wireless mesh network is built on a mix of fixed and mobile nodes interconnected via wireless links to form a large-scale multi-hop wireless communication network. In near future, wireless mesh network will provides attractive services such as public services, peer-to-peer communication, mobile Internet access and video-on-demand (VOD) in rural areas because of low costs. In wireless mesh network, each node has multiple network interface cards and there are several orthogonal channels based on IEEE 802.11 standards. In this paper, we consider sourcedestination pairs in wireless mesh network that each pair has traffic demand. The problem is formulated as a binary integer programming which maximizes the minimum end-to-end data rate considering traffic demand.
