ABSTRACT:
A channel allocation method for dynamically allocating channels of a plurality of radio interfaces at each access point included in a mesh network is provided. The method includes the steps of (a) acquiring, at each access point, in-node information about the access point itself, and (b) grouping high-traffic access points in a cluster using a same channel set based on the acquired information.
