Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) can partially replace the wired backbone of traditional wireless access networks and, similarly, they require to carefully plan radio resource assignment in order to provide the same quality guarantees to traffic flows. In this paper we study the radio resource assignm

โฆ Synopsis
The use of multiple channels can substantially improve the performance of wireless mesh networks. Considering that the IEEE PHY specification permits the simultaneous operation of three non-overlapping channels in the 2.4 GHz band and 12 non-overlapping channels in the 5 GHz band, a major challenge in wireless mesh networks is how to efficiently assign these available channels in order to optimize the network performance. We survey and classify the current techniques proposed to solve this problem in both single-radio and multi-radio wireless mesh networks. This paper also discusses the issues in the design of multi-channel protocols and architectures.
