Channel allocation and routing in hybrid multichannel multiradio wireless mesh networks

The document proposes a hybrid multichannel multiradio wireless mesh networking architecture. It presents an Adaptive Dynamic Channel Allocation protocol (ADCA) that considers optimization for both throughput and delay in channel assignment. It also proposes an Interference and Congestion Aware Routing protocol (ICAR) that balances channel usage in the hybrid network with both static and dynamic links. Simulation results show that ADCA reduces packet delay without degrading throughput, and the hybrid architecture adapts better to changing traffic than static architectures with lower overhead and delay than existing hybrid network approaches.
