Abstract

The crux of the problem is the interference in Broadband fixed wireless networks. The number of wireless channels is usually limited and the channels are reused. Reusing channels causes co-channel and adjacent channel interference, which will degrade the Signal to Noise Ratio of received packets and the throughput of a Broadband fixed wireless network. Recently, stochastic and machine learning models were used to reduce or eliminate the interference between the channels. Recent research [1-7] encourages that genetic algorithms can be used in channel allocation and interference avoidance. In this research, we used a simple genetic algorithm for selection of the best channel among the free and available channels at a given access point.
