An Optimal Algorithm Based on Fairness of Resource Allocation in Wireless Mesh Networks

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are popular due to their adaptability, easy-setup, and transmission efficiency, etc. The fair multiple concurrent flows in WMNs are quite challenging to arrange the simultaneous transmission with the interference nature of wireless media. Due to the limited resources like the number of orthogonal channels and interfaces, interference between channels affects the fair distribution of bandwidth among mesh routers. It is deserving to combine sub-paths in sub-blocks by DC for more candidate routes. To eliminate the conflicts and competition, we propose an optimal algorithm based on resource fairness to ensure performance and minimize resource waste. The performance of the algorithm is efficient, which is verified with various simulations.
