Title : Scalable Controller for Multichannel Wireless MAC
 
Group Members : Following are the group members:
 
Description : The goal is to design a controller to be inserted in each node in a wireless network. The controller is made up of sub-controllers, one for each channel. The controller interacts with other controllers to arbitrate the use of the channels among nodes such that
  1. the channel usage is maximized.
  2. every node is granted access to a channel in a finite bounded time.
All channels are assumed to be identical in nature. Scalability means that addition of a new channel requires addition of a new sub-controller in each node.
 
Design Issues : Determining the need for a control channel for arbitration. This will affect the nature of the protocol being designed for this system.
