Performance of multichannel wireless ad hoc networks

:ThispaperaddressesthedesignofMediumAccessControl(MAC)protocolsforwireless ad hoc networks that derive benefits from using multiple orthogonal channels for data transmission. Each node is assumed to have a single half-duplex transceiver that can dynamically select the best channelfortransmittingdata.
