Multi-radio multi-channel Wireless Mesh Network requires an effective management policy to control the assignment of channels to each radio. We concentrated our investigation on modeling method and solution to find a dynamic channel assignment scheme that is adapted to change of network traffic. Multi-path routing scheme was chosen to overwhelm the unreliability of wireless link. For a particular traffic state, our optimization model found a specific traffic distribution over multi-path and a channel assignment scheme that maximizes the overall network throughput. We developed a simple heuristic method for channel assignment by gradually removing clique load to obtain higher throughput. We also presented numerical examples and discussion of our models in comparison with existing research.

Convergence of various wireless systems can be cost effectively achieved through enhancement of existing technology. The emergence of Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) entails the interoperability and interconnection of various wireless technologies in one single system. Furthermore, WMN can be implemented with multi-radio and multi-channel enhancement. A multi-radio, multi-channel wireless mesh network could greatly improve certain networking performance metrics. In this research, two approaches namely, clustering and topology control mechanisms are integrated with multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh network. A Clustering and Topology Control Algorithm (CTCA)is presented that would prolong network lifetime of the client nodes and maintain connectivity of the routers.

Recently, Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) technology recently has been used in various industries. Especially, a number of multi-channel assignment schemes have been presented to improve the throughput of IEEE 802.11-based multi-hop WMN. However, performance of the conventional multi-channel assignment schemes is not enough to satisfy the industry requirements. We, thus, should study more about the multi-channel assignment scheme in order to enhance the performance. This paper proposes a novel channel assignment scheme that employs Multi-channel and Multi-Interface in the WMN. The proposed scheme can obtain the traffic information of the network and the efficient channel assignment result without any message exchanges. We verify the efficiency of the proposed scheme through the mathematical modeling and the real-world experiments. The results show that the proposed scheme improves the throughput of the network compared with the conventional schemes.

In centralized control sensor network, tree-based multi-channel communication overcomes the recurrent channel switching and makes possible to transfer data simultaneously from different sources. In our paper, we propose a greedy algorithm named as NIT (Non-Intersecting Tree) that the trees can avoid inter-tree interference. We also propose channel switching technique by which trees can avoid link failure or area blocking due to external interference locally without rerunningthe algorithm and without interrupting the whole network. At first we applied our algorithm for a random topology and then we evaluate the performance of the network using NS-2 simulator. The results show that with the increasing of channel the throughputand delivery ratio are increased significantly. We got better performance than a using a recent proposed Tree-based Multi-Channel Protocol (TMCP).

A channel allocation algorithm of multi-user OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) system is presented. The proposed algorithm is to reduce the complexity of the system, using the GNN(gradual neural network) with gradual expansion scheme and the algorithm attempts to allocate channel with good channel gain to each user. The method has lower computational complexity and less iteration than other algorithms.

본 논문에서는 멀티 홉 무선 네트워크의 처리율을 향상시킬 수 있는 멀티라디오/멀티채널에서의 네트워크 코딩 방법을 제시한다. 무선 네트워크의 처리율은 노드간 동일 채널 간섭과 무선 링크의 전송손실에 의해 제한을 받는다. 무선 네트워크에서 멀티라디오/멀티채널 환경은 무선노드의 채널 간섭 및 채널 경쟁을 줄여 주며, 네트워크 코딩은 스케줄링의 복잡성을 줄이고 링크의 사용을 늘려 처리율 증가를 가져올 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 멀티 홉 네트워크상에서 효율적인 처리율 향상을 위해 네트워크의 수학적 모델링과 선형계획법을 이용하여 인트라세션 네트워크 코딩에서의 채널 할당 및 전송 스케줄링 방법을 제안한다. 또한 AMPL과 CPLEX를 이용하여 인트라세션 네트워크 코딩 방법의 성능을 시험한다. 시험결과 멀티 홉 무선 네트워크의 인트라세션 네트워크 코딩이 일반적인 라우팅보다 처리율의 향상을 가져온다.

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) provide high-speed backbone networks without any wired cable. Many researchers have tried to increase network throughput by using multi-channel and multi-radio interfaces. A multi-radio multi-channel WMN requires channel assignment algorithm to decide the number of channels needed for each link. Since the channel assignment affects routing and interference directly, it is a critical component for enhancing network performance. However, the optimal channel assignment is known as a NP complete problem. For high performance, most of previous works assign channels in a centralized manner but they are limited in being applied for dynamic network environments. In this paper, we propose a simple flow estimation algorithm and a hybrid channel assignment algorithm. Our flow estimation algorithm obtains aggregated flow rate information between routers by packet sampling, thereby achieving high scalability. Our hybrid channel assignment algorithm initially assigns channels in a centralized manner first, and runs in a distributed manner to adjust channel assignment when notable traffic changes are detected. This approach provides high scalability and high performance compared with existing algorithms, and they are confirmed through extensive performance evaluations.

본 논문은 효율적인 무선 AMI 네트워크를 위한 채널 할당 및 스케줄링 기법에 관한 것이다. AMI 시스템에서, 제안하는 다중채널 클러스터 네트워크는 NC(Network Coordinator)와 CDA(Clustered Data Aggregator) 간의 통신 채널을 네트워크 채널로 정의 하고, CDA와 OMD(Out Meter Display), SMD(Smart Meter Device) 간의 통신채널을 그룹 채널로 정의한다. 네트워크 채널과 그룹채널이 혼합된 다중채널 클러스터 기반의 AMI 네트워크는 물리적/논리적 수용가 채널 클러스터링을 통해서 관리의 효율성을 증대하고, 인접 클러스터간 구별되는 채널 사용을 통한 검침 데이터의 신뢰성을 증대한다. 또한 다중채널 클러스터 기반의 채널할당을 통하여 데이터의 빠른 수집이 가능하며 검침망의 크기를 증가시킨다.

Cooperative forwarding has shown a substantial network performance improvement compared to traditional routing in multi-hop wireless network. To further enhance the system throughput, especially in the presence of highly congested multiple cross traffic flows, a promising way is to incorporate the multi-radio multi-channel (MRMC) capability into cooperative forwarding. However, it requires to jointly address multiple issues. These include radio-channel assignment, routing metric computation, candidate relay set selection, candidate relay prioritization, data broadcasting over multi-radio multi-channel, and best relay selection using a coordination scheme. In this paper, we propose a simple and efficient cluster-based cooperative data forwarding (CCDF) which jointly addresses all these issues. We study the performance impact when the same candidate relay set is being used for multiple cross traffic flows in the network. The network simulation shows that the CCDF with MRMC not only retains the advantage of receiver diversity in cooperative forwarding but also minimizes the interference, which therefore further enhances the system throughput for the network with multiple cross traffic flows.

본 논문에서는 무선 애드혹 네트워크에서 복수개 채널을 이용한 효율적인 매체접속제어 프로토콜로써 DM-MMAC (Doze Mode Multi-Chanel MAC)을 제안한다. 기존의 IEEE 802.11 프로토콜의 경우 물리계층에서 복수개의 가용 채널이 주어지나 MAC 계층에서는 오직 고정된 단일채널을 통한 접속만이 가능하다. 이를 보완하기 위한 프로토콜로써 여러 가지 멀티채널 MAC 프로토콜이 제안되었으나 대부분의 경우 채널수가 적고 호스트의 수가 많아지면 전송 처리율(throughput)이 급격히 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 MMAC 프로토콜의 채널 할당 및 채널점유 과정을 단순화하고 호스트 간 충돌가능성을 줄임으로써 절전효과와 함께 전송률 향상을 도모하였다.
