Abstract

In non-static multi-radio/multi-channel wireless mesh networks architectures such as Net-X, mesh nodes need to switch channels in order to communicate with different neighbors. Present channel schedulers do not consider the requirements of real time traffic such as voice over IP. Thus the resulting quality is low. We propose a novel channel scheduler for the Net-X platform that takes into account packet priorities. We evaluate the algorithm on the KAUMesh testbed. Our algorithm outperforms the standard round-robin scheduler both in terms of average delay and jitter.
