Topology Control and Channel Assignment in Multi-Radio Multi-channel WMN

[A. Naveed, S. Kanhere, S.K. Jha, Tech Report, UNSW, May 2007]
Well written paper that presents channel assignment and topology control for wireless mesh networks with different approaches. Topology formation considers clustering and spanner construction with distinct default channel initially assigned to each cluster. Clustering itself is completed in two phases. First phase is to construct gateway based cluster and the next step will regroup the nodes far away from gateway into new cluster. What if the gateway do not exist at all? How fair is it to assume that the gateway(s) does exist.

Assumption of having more than 2 interfaces for all nodes is yet another one that can be challeged.

Definition of the interference is based on the protocol model (strict version), utilized for the construction of the spanner (yet to clearly understand this part)
