Abstract

Since the inception of WLAN technology, the question on which channel to be assigned on a radio link has become an important topic of research. We present a channel assignment technique which is catered for multiradio wireless mesh network's backhaul links. The proposed algorithm takes into consideration interference condition at both ends of the radio link when allocating the channel. We also describe how the assignment process is carried out over multiple radio hops or links. The proposed technique is then analyzed through simulation using a representative rural site in Malaysia. The results show that with nine mesh access routers average throughput per household improves up to 51% with the proposed technique.
