Abstract

We describe a new carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA) protocol for multihop wireless networks, using multiple channels and a distributed channel selection scheme. The proposed protocol divides the available bandwidth into N channels where the transmitting station selects an appropriate channel for packet transmission. The selection criterion is based on the interference power measurements on the channels. We show via simulations that this multichannel CSMA protocol provides a higher throughput compared to its single channel counterpart by reducing the packet loss due to collisions.
