Abstract: | The Quality of Service of Multi-Channel Multi-Radio Wireless Mesh Networks is adversely affected by the complex behavior of interference patterns present between the sender and receiver of a link. This behavior is usually captured using wireless channel interference models. The accuracy of the interference model is highly dependent on the interaction of the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance Medium Access Control (CSMA/CA MAC) protocol based on the geometric location of the sender and receiver of the link. Therefore, this paper presents a nomenclature of interference modeling schemes available in Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) literature with respect to the geometric location of the sender and receiver of a link. The behavior and limitations of each model are analyzed with the help of empirical examples. The results indicate that Garetto’s model of interfering links is the best choice to model wireless channel interference in WMNs. In addition, this study provides an interference analysis of Garetto’s model for the two link case by computing the conditional packet loss probability of each class of interfering link. The probability analysis concluded that the links with disconnected senders are highly interfering compared to sender connected links. Further, the analysis will assist researchers and engineers in relay node placement, capacity analysis, channel assignment, and topology control schemes in the WMN. |
