Abstract (EN): A Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is an effective solution to provide Internet connectivity to large areas and its efficiency may increase if multiple radio channels are used in the mesh backbone. This paper proposes a protocol for centralized channel assignment in single-radio WMNs. This protocol has the capability to discover all the links available between Mesh Access Points (MAPs), independently of the channel they operate. With this information, a network manager can assign the right channel to each MAP in order to, for instance, maximize the network throughput. The proposed protocol extends WiFIX [1] which is a low overhead solution for implementing IEEE 802.11-based WMNs. © 2012 ICST Institute for Computer Science, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
