Abstract

Channel Assignment (CA) is an active research area due to the proliferating deployments of multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks. This paper presents an in-depth survey of some of the CA approaches in the literature. First, the key design issues for these approaches are identified, laying down the basis for discussion. Second, a classification that captures their essentials is proposed. Third, the different CA approaches are examined individually, with their advantages and limitations highlighted; furthermore, categorical and overall comparisons for them are given in detail, clarifying their sameness and differences. Finally, the future research directions for CA are discussed at length.
