Abstract :
This article shows the added-value of a collaborative channel affectation, called RME for resource management engine, in a hotspot. It shows that if access points are configured sequentially by choosing at each access point the best current channel and never change afterwards, then the collaborative channel affectation gives a higher quality of service in terms of throughput. As there is even some benefits from this collaborative channel affectation in a static environment, much more benefits can be expected in dynamic environments, which is the case in hotspots.
