Channel assignment has been extensively researched for multi-radio wireless mesh networks, but it is still very challenging when it comes to its implementation. In this paper we propose a semi-dynamic and distributed channel assignment mechanism called SICA (Semi-dynamic Interference aware Channel Assignment) based on game theory formulation. SICA is an interference aware, distributed channel assignment which preserves the network connectivity without relying on a common channel nor central node for coordin

The increasing demand for large and low cost wireless coverage, ranging from campus to city wide areas, has motivated a high interest in multi-hop communications with IEEE 802.11s as the most significant and successful standard for wireless mesh networks. Although IEEE 802.11s introduces new interworking, routing and wireless frame forwarding at the link layer, the multi channel architecture receives less attention. In this paper we provide insights into the IEEE 802.11s standard and explain some channel as
