Abstract:
The stability of a channel in a wireless network is evaluated at a node. Upon transmitting a packet from the node on a network channel, a first counter associated with the channel is incremented. Upon receiving an acknowledgment packet responsive to the transmitted packet, a second counter associated with the channel is incremented. A stability metric for the channel is computed based on values stored in the first and second counters. Additionally, interference on a channel of the network is measured at a node. Upon determining that no packet is received during a predetermined time-period on the channel, a received signal strength (RSS) is measured on the channel at an end of the predetermined time-period. Alternatively, upon determining that a packet is received during the predetermined time-period on the channel, the RSS is measured on the channel following completion of the transmission of the packet on the channel.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for evaluating stability of communication channels in a wireless communication network, the method comprising steps of:\n monitoring, by a first node of the wireless communication network, a plurality of communication channels utilized for communications between the first node and other nodes in the wireless communication network; computing, by the first node, channel stability metrics for each of the plurality of communication channels; and initiating, by the first node, in coordination with at least another node of the wireless communication network, a change in a usage of a selected communication channel of the plurality of communication channels based on the computed channel stability metrics for each of the plurality of communication channels.
