Title:  Connectivity and Capacity of Multi-Channel Wireless Networks
with Channel Switching Constraints
Date:  October 30, 2006
Time:  4-5pm
Place:  141 CSL
Abstract:
It is often assumed that nodes in a multi-channel wireless network are
capable of switching on all available channels. This assumption may be
challenged by emerging paradigms in wireless networking, such as
envisioned large-scale deployment of extremely inexpensive wireless
devices embedded in the environment, and dynamic spectrum access via
cognitive radio. Hence there is need to study multi-channel network
performance in the presence of constraints on channel-switching, both in
terms of determining how asymptotic transport capacity is affected by
the
constraints, and designing protocols for efficient channel-coordination,
and data-transfer. In this work, we make an attempt to address some
aspects of this issue by introducing some models for constrained channel
assignment, and exploring issues of connectivity and transport capacity
for some of these models. The proposed models are capable of capturing
many of the constraints that may be encountered due to hardware or other
limitations (e.g., we show how one of our models is relevant to the case
of untuned radios that has been earlier proposed in the literature).
