A Multi-Channel MAC Protocol for Ad Hoc Wireless Networks

Date: January 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

Overview: This paper presents a multi-channel MAC protocol that utilizes multiple channels to improve throughput in wireless networks. The proposed scheme requires only one transceiver for each host, while other multi-channel MAC protocols require multiple transceivers for each host. The nodes in the network are synchronized by beacons, and the channels are negotiated in the ATIM window using ATIM packets. After the ATIM window, nodes switch to their selected channel and exchange messages on that channel for the rest of the beacon interval.
