Practical and effective multi-channel assignment scheme for mesh network
Wenzhong Yang, Zhang Zhen-yu, Bo Wang · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2011
Mesh network throughput can be reaped by multi-channel and multi-interface,however,the channel separation which can greatly reduce interference of inter-paths is almost not considered in existing multi-channel assignment algorithms and protocols,as a result,the mesh network throughput is still improved by reduction of the interference of inter-channels and inter-paths.A heuristic Channel Separation based Channel Assignmen(tCSCA) algorithm is proposed to combat the mesh wireless interference.The mesh forest topology discovered and constructed in this work facilitates the channel assignment and traffic flow balance.Extensive simulation shows that the CSCA efficiently combat interference of mesh network and indeed upgrades the mesh network throughput.
