A Topology Control Approach for Utilizing Multiple Channels in Multi-Radio Wireless Mesh Networks

Overview This paper considers the channel assignment problem in a multi-radio wireless mesh network that involves assigning channels to radio interfaces for achieving efficient channel utilization. The paper proposes the notion of a traffic-independent base channel assignment to ease coordination and enable dynamic, efficient and flexible channel assignment. It presents a novel formulation of the base channel assignment as a topology control problem, and shows that the resulting optimization problem is NP-complete. A new greedy heuristic channel assignment algorithm (termed CLICA) is then developed for finding connected, low interference topologies by utilizing multiple channels.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
