Network segregation for fixed 802.11 wireless networks, utilizing modulo

In this paper we focus on Ad-Hoc networks, deployed in a mesh network topology utilising multichannel technology. Our target is to investigate the performance of a fixed wireless network segregated into subnetworks and utilizing more than one channel during transmission. The term segregated means that the network is divided into smaller areas/teams and each one operates one or more radios. In contrast with single channel wireless networks, segregate networks provide a more sophisticated way to improve its performance. With the help of modulo, a channel assignment algorithm, a multichannel environment is designed and evaluated. Each node is assigned multiple radio frequencies but each segregate part has been assigned different radios from the others. According to the results the main enemy of a network, the effect of single channel interference has been minimised and network performance has been improved.
