Wireless ad hoc networks typically make use of a single radio interface on a fixed channel to communicate with neighboring nodes. Previous research has advocated the use of multiple wireless channels for enhancing the capacity of such networks. IEEE 802.11 based wireless network interfaces are capable of communicating over multiple nonoverlapping channels. In existing system architectures the u...

Research on real-time health systems have received great attention during recent years and the needs of high-quality personal multichannel medical signal compression for personal medical product applications are increasing. The international MPEG-4 audio lossless coding (ALS) standard supports a joint channel-coding scheme for improving compression performance of multichannel signals and it is ...

Multichannel, multihop wireless networks can improve system performance by allowing more simultaneous transmissions in the network than when compared to a single channel network. This in turn results in a higher network throughput and improved spectral efficiency. In order to maintain connectivity across nodes that operate on different channels, most of the existing multichannel implementations...
