An important aspect of the deployment of wireless LANs lies in careful planning of the locations and the channel assignments of the Access Points (APs). The APs need to be placed optimally to provide maximum coverage and minimize interference with other APs. Also, in the case of ad-hoc networks that require no fixed network infrastructure, there is a need to allocate channels carefully so as to minimize interference and improve the system performance. This paper proposes a distributed bootstrapping mechanism (BOOST) for ad-hoc networks that allocates channels so as to improve system performance in terms of throughput and average delay. This paper presents experimental results that motivate the design of BOOST protocol which is validated through ns-2 simulations.
