Abstract:
1. A method for determining a route, channel assignment, multiple-in, multiple out stream control and a transmission schedule in a network, said method comprising: determining said route responsive to long term network conditions and long term traffic conditions of the network; determining said channel assignment, said multiple-in multiple-out stream control, and said transmission schedule responsive to local channel conditions, local link conditions and local traffic conditions of the network; determining if there has been a change in one of said long term network conditions and said long term traffic conditions of the network; forming a first set of link-channel-stream triplets in a network; determining a weight for each link-channel-stream triplet; locating said link-channel-stream triplet having a maximum weight; scheduling said link-channel-steam triplet in a time slot; assigning a channel to transmitting and receiving radios of a link associated with said link-channel-stream triplet; updating a queue size of said link; removing said link-channel-stream triplet from said first set; removing all link-channel-stream triplets that are in an interference range of said link and use a same channel from said first set and where a stream has a lowest channel gain from said set; removing all link-channel-stream triplets that are incident on a transmitting node of said link and not communicating using channels assigned to said transmitting node from said first set; and removing all link-channel-stream triplets that are incident on a receiving node of said link and not communicating using channels assigned to said receiving node from said first set.
