Channel Assignment and Performance Evaluation of AODV Algorithm in Wireless Mesh Networks

Abstract:Adhoc Networks are those Networks which does not require complex configuration. Wireless mesh Networks are also a part of Adhoc Networks. Wireless Mesh Networks have capacity to support Internet Access at fewer expenses for mobile and as well as Stationary Networks. It involves multihopping techniques which involves routers in Wireless Mesh Networks. The main advantage here the geographical area can be increased without any disturbances in the existing Network. In this paper, we propose a Channel Assignment Method which reduces the congestion mechanism and tried to remove all the disadvantages in the earlier mechanism. With this concept, the main focus is given on reducing the packet drop when the network size is increased and maintain the same QoS parameters. As a result when the network size increases the same performances is expected and in turn covering more geographical areas.
