Abstract

At present, no standard frequency allocation mechanism exists for Wireless LAN access points. In this article, we introduce a number of techniques based on graph colouring algorithms, and demonstrate their effectiveness using simulations. We also suggest a preliminary message format the access points could employ to exchange information regarding the wireless channel, and elaborate on the possible protocol architectures that could be used in the actual channel allocation process.
