Abstract

Recently, as a promising broadband wireless access network, WiFi/WiMAX interworking mesh network where some WiFi APs connect to WiMAX base station as a gateway to the Internet has been proposed and spotlighted. In addition, by using dynamic spectrum access technology, the network load on each gateway AP in such a network can be balanced and the throughput of entire system can be improved. In this paper, we propose an effective spectrum sharing method for WiFi/WiMAX interworking mesh network by using the dynamic spectrum access technology in order to improve the network throughput. Finally, we show the effectiveness of the proposed method by simulation experiments.
