New Channel Assignment Method for Access Points in Wireless LANs
Wireless LANs topology communicates using radio frequencies. The number of these frequencies is limited and not enough to assign a special frequency for each Access Point, this means that the communication topology should use a \re-use\ mechanism, which allows the system to assign the same frequency that assigned previously for another access point. In this paper, we suggest a method to assign frequency channels to access points in a Wireless LANs system. The goal of this paper is to reach the assignment that prevents interference between access points especially neighbor ones. We used Genetic Algorithm to work on this issue, it is considered as an Expert System and one of the main multi point search technique used in computing to solve optimization and search problems.
