The CSMA/CA based random channel access mechanisms in Wireless Mesh Networks(WMNs), IEEE 802.11 DCF and EDCA, are inefficient to eliminate effectively hidden terminal and exposed terminal problems in multi-hop scenarios. In this paper, we propose efficient channel assignment and routing protocols for multi-radio multi-channel (MRMC) wireless mesh networks. These set of protocols are based on Latin squares and have MRMC communication capabilities i.e., the multiple access scheduling in multi-radio multi-channel mesh networking. A novel efficient channel assignment and routing scheme is also developed taking into account the interference constraints, the number of channels in the network and the number of radios available at each mesh router for multiradio multi-channel wireless mesh networks. MRMC communication using the two types of channel assignment schemes and routing methods is compared.

Novel channel

We have presented the two types of channel assignment schemes and routing methods: Latin squares based M4 approach and Novel channel assignment approach, for MRMC communication. The novel optimal efficient channel assignment scheme can greatly relieve the interference effect of close-by transmissions; effective routing schemes can alleviate potential congestion on any gateway to the Internet, thereby improving per-client throughput.The channel assignment in multi-interface WMN consists of a task to assign channels to the radio interfaces by such away to achieve efficient channel utilization and minimize the interference. Simulation results conclude that the proposed effective channel assignment scheme will improve the Quality of Service (QoS) in wireless mesh networks by improving throughput, packet delivery ratio and by reducing end-toend delay compared to Latin squares based M4 approach and IEEE 802.11e.
