Abstract

Ad-hoc network usually employs IEEE 802.11 based wireless LAN with a single channel as wireless links. A multi-hop communication and a single channel interference would cause a transmission performance degradation. The multichannel technique is effective to improve the transmission performance. This paper proposes the cross-layer design associated with the new multi-channel MAC protocol and the routing protocol suitable for the multi-channel. A network simulation using EXata simulator is executed to evaluate the throughput.
