A wireless network is provided. The wireless network includes a predetermined wireless router and a plurality of wireless routers. The predetermined wireless router has gateway functionality for accessing an external network. Each wireless router of the wireless routers has a single transceiver, and the wireless routers include at least a wireless router which communicates with other wireless router(s) in the wireless network for forwarding network packets by using a single fixed channel and at least a wireless router which communicates with other wireless router(s) in the wireless network for forwarding network packets by using a plurality of channels.

Wireless network

A node apparatus and an adjusting method of a quantity of nodes for a sensor network and a tangible machine-readable medium thereof are provided. The sensor network comprises a plurality of groups, wherein each group has a plurality of nodes. For each group, one of the nodes is set to be a gate node, and each node within the group transmits at least one data of itself to the corresponded gate node. Each gate node calculates a data aggregation time based on a data length per unit time of received data and a predetermined packet length, so that each gate node is able to adjust the quantity of nodes within the group thereof accordingly.

Node apparatus, node quantity adjustment method, and tangible machine-readable medium for a sensor network

A method for dynamic channel allocation for access points in wireless networks. Communication information of wireless devices is gathered. A network topology formed by the wireless devices is derived according to the communication information. Switch channel indexes for each wireless device are calculated according to the communication information and network topology. Desired wireless devices for switching channels are determined according to the switch channel indexes.
