Abstract
Channel-width adaptation can significantly improve the connectivity, capacity and reduce the power consumption in wireless networks. The OFDMA-based channel-width adaptation based on traffic demand has been studied in wireless networks with sufficient spectral resources. However, the traffic demand may not be fully satisfied in resource-limited scenarios. In this paper, we study the channel-width adaptation problem in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) with limited spectral resources. More specifically, considering diverse quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, a QoS-aware channel-width adaptation scheme is proposed. First, resource allocation with QoS-aware channel-width adaptation is modelled as an optimization problem. Genetic algorithm is employed to get a near-optimal solution. Then, in order to reduce the computational complexity, a greedy algorithm is developed to suit the highly dynamic traffic demand. Simulation results show that the proposed low-complexity algorithm can guarantee the QoS support in resource-limited scenarios.
