Abstract
The major change in the wireless network standards
has attracted researchers to utilize benefits of several data
services in various applications. Wireless Mesh Networks
which follows 802.11 standards are very best alternative to
Local Area Networks and Metropolitan Area Networks. There
is a need for better utilization of the 802.11 spectrum in Mesh
Networks environment when transmitting data through mesh
networks. Recent work shows the increase in utilization of
802.11 spectrum for wireless mesh networks. An effort has
been made to design and develop a distributed, self healing,
self stabilizing protocol that’s assigns channels to mesh nodes
in large wireless mesh networks. The efficiency of the protocol
is demonstrated with extensive measurements using Qualnet
simulator. The distributed channel assignment algorithm
improves the capacity of the networks by an average of 25% in
comparison to a homogenous channel assignment.
