“…Several proposed approaches on channel assignment (CA) algorithms, multichannel MAC protocols, multichannel routing metrics, links scheduling (LS), multichannel multicast protocols, power and topology control, and network planning exist in the literature. However, the designs that are considering combinations of these issues have shown more efficient performance such as joint routing and link scheduling [10], joint CA and power control [11], joint QoS multicast routing and CA [12], joint gateway selection, transmission slot assignment, routing and power control [13], joint CA, power control and routing [14], joint CA, power control and rate assignment [15], joint routing and topology control with directional antennas [16], and partially overlapped CA [8,9].…”
