Abstract:

To minimize the length of scheduling and guarantee the load balance of channels, a Load-balanced and length-minimized link scheduling (LBLM) algorithm is proposed. LBLM algorithm is a heuristic scheme, which assigns time slots for unicast traffic based on link's weight and hop-count in the routing traffic tree. Thus the algorithm considers both primary and secondary interference, as well as guarantees the proportional fairness. The ns2 simulation results show that in multi-channel TDMA Wireless mesh networks (WMNs), the proposed algorithm has the benefits of lower complexity, shorter frame length and better channel balance compared to other well-known schedule mechanisms.
