Joint channel assignment and routing for throughput optimization in multi-radio wireless mesh networks

TL;DR: A solution is developed that optimizes the overall network throughput subject to fairness constraints on allocation of scarce wireless capacity among mobile clients, and the performance of the algorithms is within a constant factor of that of any optimal algorithm for the joint channel assignment and routing problem.

The capacity of wireless networks

TL;DR: When n identical randomly located nodes, each capable of transmitting at W bits per second and using a fixed range, form a wireless network, the throughput /spl lambda/(n) obtainable by each node for a randomly chosen destination is /spl Theta/(W//spl radic/(nlogn)) bits persecond under a noninterference protocol.
