The CSMA/CA based random channel access mechanisms in Wireless Mesh Networks(WMNs), IEEE 802.11 DCF and EDCA, are inefficient to eliminate effectively hidden terminal and exposed terminal problems in multi-hop scenarios. In this paper, we propose efficient channel assignment and routing protocols for multi-radio multi-channel (MRMC) wireless mesh networks. These set of protocols are based on La...

In recent years a new type of wireless networks named wireless mesh networks has drawn the attention of researchers. In order to increase the capacity of mesh network, nodes are equipped with multiple radios tuned on multiple channels emerging multi radio multi channel wireless mesh networks. Therefore, the main challenge of these networks is how to properly assign the channels to the radios. O...

Channel assignment is one of the most important issues in the multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks. An improper channel assignment may lead to network partition or link failure. In this paper we focus on the channel assignment problem with the original topology preservation for the multi-radio mesh networks, and aim at minimizing the overall network interference. We have formulated ...

IEEE802.11s draft proposes a new medium access control (MAC) function-mesh deterministic access (MDA), which is mainly used for single-channel wireless mesh local area network (LAN). In single-channel environment, collisions between control packets and data packets may occur very often. In order to provide higher performance and network capacity for wireless mesh LAN, this article develops an a...

Channel assignment has been extensively studied in wireless network such as cellular network, with the appearance of the new multi-radio multi-channel network such as wireless mesh network and cognitive radio network, channel assignment in such network has been a hot research topic again. In this paper, we use game theory to study the channel assignment problem, we model channel assignment in m...
