TSALS - A Centralized Scheduling and Channel Assignment Scheme in Third Generation Router Based WiMAX Mesh Network

This paper mainly introduces a TSALS (tree search active link selection) algorithm working in a centralized mode. In this scheme, each node is equipped with a third generation mesh router, which owns two relay transceivers and can be tuned among multiple channels. The major goal of this solution is to reduce the length of scheduling under an interference-aware restriction. The feasibility and efficiency of our proposal are testified through extensive simulations. The result justifies that our TSALS algorithm provides a much higher performance than the previous ones.
