Multichannel Assignment in Resilient Network Topologies
Abstract
We study a wireless multichannel assignment problem across a variety of k-resilient distributed wireless network topologies. We study trade-offs between various network graph coloring schemes used as an approach to assign distributed wireless transmitter channels and we discuss assigning colors based upon additional radio coloring constraints. We also introduce a partial coloring algorithm to manage situations in which channel resources are constrained and more optimal coloring cannot be achieved. Using these new algorithms, we demonstrate both channel assignment stability and channel conflict improvements in a series of simulated mobile networks undergoing resilient topology control. Looking toward future work, we also discuss potential multichannel assignment designs and characteristics using a k-resilient connected dominating set (CDS) approach within the network.
