摘要: The Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is a special kind of Ad hoc network with a hierarchical network structure . Its backbone transmission network has such characteristics as multi- hop , topology stability, no electricity supply constraints , convergence of flows . Improving the spatial reuse of spectrum is an effective approach to increas e network capacity. The linchpin of this approach is to effectively control the interference range between wireless links . The multi- channel networking technology is one of the key technologies of WMN, and its core is the channel allocation through which the channel utilization can be maximized . The mutual interference between multi- hop wireless links should be considered when choosing the routing metrics in WMN. Through the load - balancing routing method , the network capacity and throughput of nodes can be improved .
