Dynamic channel allocation

Abstract

A method for a network controller to carry out automatic channel allocation for a network of wireless communication links between communication nodes, the method including determining an estimated signal attenuation between communication nodes in a network, allocating wireless channels, determined by a set of transmission parameters, to a plurality of wireless communication links in the network, based, at least in part, on the estimated signal attenuation, sending a message to a first communication node, the message instructing the first communication node to use a set of transmission parameters for communicating a first wireless communication link connecting the first communication node to a second communication node at an opposite end of the first wireless communication link, the transmission parameters based, at least in part, on the allocating wireless channels. Related apparatus and methods are also described.
