In this project, we consider a wireless ad hoc network deployment
scenarios in which the wireless nodes are equipped with multiple radio
interfaces and multiple channel selection capabilities. The differences
between multi-radio interface and multi-channel interface were mainly
due to the concurrency of operations --- multi-radio can simultaneously
operate, whereas multi-channel can time-share the interface. Therefore,
different scheduling algorithms are necessary for these three
scenarios:
- Each node has multi-radio interfaces.
- Each node has a single radio interface with multi-channel capability.
- Each node has multi-radio interfaces, each of which is capable of multi-channel operation.
- The network consists of heterogeneous nodes with different combinations of the above capabilities.
Therefore, there are different design algorithms for these scenarios.
