Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have been considered as one of the key technologies for the configuration of wireless machines since they emerged. In a WMN, wireless routers provide multi-hop wireless connectivity between hosts in the network and also allow them to access the Internet via gateway devices. Wireless routers are typically equipped with multiple radios operating on different channels to increase network throughput. Multicast is a form of communication that delivers data from a source to a set of destinations simultaneously. It is used in a number of applications, such as distributed games, distance education, and video conferencing. In this study, we address a channel assignment problem for multicast in multi-radio multi-channel WMNs. In a multi-radio multi-channel WMN, two nearby nodes will interfere with each other and cause a throughput decrease when they transmit on the same channel. Thus, an important goal for multicast channel assignment is to reduce the interference among networked devices. We have developed a minimum interference channel assignment (MICA) algorithm for multicast that accurately models the interference relationship between pairs of multicast tree nodes using the concept of the interference factor and assigns channels to tree nodes to minimize interference within the multicast tree. Simulation results show that MICA achieves higher throughput and lower end-to-end packet delay compared with an existing channel assignment algorithm named multi-channel multicast (MCM). In addition, MICA achieves much lower throughput variation among the destination nodes than MCM.

Neighbor discovery is one of the emerging research areas in a wireless sensor network. After sensors are distributed, neighbor discovery is the first process to set up a communication channel with neighboring sensors. This paper proposes a new block design–based asymmetric neighbor discovery protocol for sensor networks. We borrow the concept of combinatorial block designs for our block combination scheme for neighbor discovery. First, we introduce an asymmetric neighbor discovery problem and define a target research question. Second, we propose a new asymmetric block design–based neighbor discovery protocol and explain how it works. Third, we analyze the worst-case neighbor discovery latency numerically between our protocol and some well-known protocols in the literature, and compare and evaluate the performance between the proposed protocol and others. Our protocol reveals that the worst-case latency is much lower than that of Disco and U-Connect. Finally, we conclude that the minimum number of slots per a neighbor schedule shows the lowest discovery time in terms of discovery latency and energy consumption.
