Gluon: Auto-Channel Selection #2
Comments
Something like that was the plan if the student would not be able to distribute the mesh channels properly. It's possible to make these approaches compatible, but let's better talk in Mumble. |
To dig deeper into the whole problem: For a Graph based approach to the full problem, see: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-540-89183-3_7 Some information about the paper:

A command to find other AP STAs with hannover.freifunk.net:
|
With signal strength: (be aware this counts on the fact that "signal: " is before "SSID" in the output of iw) |
Sometimes the output doesn't seem to be so stable here... |
Haven't checked this, but this might be related: https://chaos.expert/genofire/wifictld |
Gluon Auto-Channel Selection
The scope of this is, to automatically distribute nodes across wifi channels. The aim is to automatically enhance performance in installations where all nodes are normally connected via wired mesh. E.g. a large house where there "Hausverkabelung" is used to connect all routers via wired mesh.
Switching channels is not trivial, as it interferes with the capability to mesh with other nodes. While it would be possible to turn off wifi meshing completely in this scenario, it is nice to have a fallback to wifi meshing. As of now, even if wired mesh is turned off for all nodes, the channel planning has to be done manually. So if we device that the fallback is not necessary, it would still be nice to have auto channel selection.
Algorithm Idea
* "wired mesh" includes mesh via vpn.
