Channel Assignment Algorithm for Multicast in Multi-channel Wireless Mesh Network
Huang Shu-qiangb · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2011
The scarcity of available channels and radios per node in the Wireless Mesh Network(WMN) limits the bandwidth available on the links of the multicast tree and eventually cuts the network throughput down.Aiming at this problem,this paper proposes a channel assignment algorithm for multicast in multi-channel multi-radio WMN called LAMCA.It can minimize the interference of multicast tree and improve the network throughput.Simulation results show that the algorithm can further optimize the throughput performance by comparing with the LCA algorithm.
