A Cluster-based Channel Assignment Algorithm in Multi-Radio Multi-Channel Wireless Mesh Networks

Recent researches show that channel assignment in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) is a critical problem. The purpose of this study is to present a channel assignment algorithm named FCCA, which partitions the networks into fair clusters and runs channel assignment algorithm in three steps, default channel assignment, inter and intra channel assignment. The results show that a fair clustering method influences on reducing interference; therefore, the FCCA algorithm increases network performance
