INFERENCE AND PERFORMANCE AWARE MULTI-CHANNEL SCHEDULING AND ROUTING SCHEME WITH CALL ADMISSION CONTROL IN WIRELESS MESH NETWORKS

As wireless mesh networks have been deployed in the urban area, dynamic channel allocation is more challengeable because co-located wireless mediums are likely to be tuned to the same channels and may interfere with communication. Further, existing model doesn't consider reutilizing routing resource. This paper presents an efficient scheduling and routing model considering an external interference and routing resource reutilization for multi-channel wireless mesh networks. Each mesh node uses a novel technique to estimate the usage status of all the channels within its interference range and assigns channels dynamically to radios to minimize interference within the mesh network and between the mesh network and collocated wireless networks. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm can improve the network throughput, reduce packet failure rate and consume more energy while transmission substantially compared to other algorithms by removing the interference overestimation problem and assigning channels aggressively with priority.
