Abstract:
An algorithm for self-organization that assigns
the channels intelligently in Multi-Radio Wireless Mesh
Networks (MR-WMN) is important for the proper operation of
MR-WMN. The aim of the self-organization algorithm is to
reduce the overall interference and increase the aggregate
capacity of the network. This can be possible by addressing the
two major challenges that are associated with the selforganization
of MR-WMN – Scalability and Stability. In this
paper, we have first proposed a generic self-organization
algorithm that addresses these two challenges. The basic
approach is that of a distributed, light-weight, co-operative
multiagent system that guarantees scalability. Second, we have
evaluated the performance of the proposed self-organization
algorithm for two sets of initialization schemes. The initialization
process results in a topology control of MR-WMN by way of
spatial distribution of connectivity between the mesh nodes. The
results have been obtained for realistic scenarios of MR-WMN
node densities and topologies.
