Abstract
A method and device for assigning channels for a multi-radio mesh network is disclosed. The network comprises multiple mesh routers. Each mesh router has multiple radios, wherein, between two mesh routers that are within each other's radios transmission ranges, there is a pair of unidirectional links attached to them whose directions are oppositional each other. The method includes following steps: measuring link load of each link by measuring average busy time for the link to transmit data; and assigning a channel to each link based on the link load of the link.
