Abstract

It is envisaged that Quality-of-Service (QoS) support for multimedia-rich applications is the key to the success of next-generation wireless mesh networks (WMNs). However, QoS support in WMN is challenging, because of the limited network capacity and intensive resource requirements. In the recent past, multi-radio multi-channel (MRMC) networking is used as a promising approach to boost network capacity. By assigning non-overlapping channels to radios, MRMC-WMN can reduce interference and, hence, increase the network capacity. The performance of MRMC-WMNs is very much dependent on the working of routing and channel assignment. Routing and channel assignment are tightly coupled and should be jointly optimized. Over the years, different research works have been done to address the issues in a joint channel assignment and routing (JCAR). This paper critically reviews the existing JCAR approaches taking different parameters, such as routing metrics used, interference model, and methodology used. The authors also present the pros and cons of these approaches. Future research directions in JCAR are also discussed.
