Use of a Weighted Conflict Graph in the Channel Selection Operation for Wi-Fi Networks

Allocation algorithms in IEEE 802.11-based WLAN, that consist to associate to each AP a channel, are mainly based on a conflict graph that represents the conflicts (interference, CCA detection, etc.) between APs. In this paper, we propose to use an enriched version of the conflict graph, namely a weighted conflict graph. This latter models the CCA detection that can be total (all transmissions are...
