A multichannel wireless mesh network is composed of wireless routers with multiple radio interfaces operating on non-overlapping channels. It provides a network backbone to support multi-hop connectivity between wireless users and the Internet gateways. However, robustness is a critical issue in such networks because wireless links could be prone to error. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves 100% robustness and fault tolerance when only one link fails. In addition, it can tolerate around 29.71%-45.61% of link failure in the network.
