Multi-Radio Multi-Channel (MRMC) systems are key to power control problems in WMNs. In this paper, we present a dynamic power control for MRMC WMNs. First, WMN is represented as a set of disjoint Unified Channel Graphs (UCGs). Second, each radio assigned to a unique UCG adjusts the transmission power locally using predicted interference states among different adjacent UCGs. A new power selection MRMC unification protocol (PMMUP) is proposed that coordinates local power optimizations at the
