The objective is to reduce network con-flicts and guarantee the fairness among links. We first design a new network model. With this net-work model, the multi-channel wireless network is divided into several subnets according to the num-ber of channels. Based on this, we present a link allocation algorithm with time complexity O（l^2）to al-locate all links to subnets. This link allocation algo-rithm adopts conflict matrix to minimize the network contention factor. After all links are allocated to subnets, the rate assignment algorithm to maximize a fairness utility in each subnet is presented. The rate assignment algorithm adopts a near-optirml al-gorithm based on dual decomposition and realizes in a distributed way. Simulation results demonstrate that, compared with IEEE 802.11b and slotted see-ded channel hopping algorithm, our algorithm de-creases network conflicts and improves the net-work throughput significantly.展开更多
