Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are attracting a lot of attention from wireless network researchers, because of their potential use in several fields such as collaborative computing and communications. Considering mobility of the terminals, routing is a key process for operation of WMNs. In this paper, we present the implementation of a testbed for WMNs. We analyze the performance of Optimized Link...
In this paper, we deal with the impact of the population size and number of generations on the performance of a dense WMN. The network is compound of 8 mesh routers and 96 mesh clients. We evaluate the performance considering giant component, number of covered users and the total execution time of GA. The simulation results show that the increase of the population size or the increase of the number...
In Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), the performance of the network is affected by the location of mesh nodes. The placement of mesh nodes is an important design issue in deploying such networks. For a given grid size and a given number of mesh nodes, we use Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to find where to position the mesh nodes in order to maximize the coverage and the connectivity of the network. In this...
In this paper, we use WMN-GA system for node placement problem in WMNs. For a given grid size and a given number of mesh nodes, our WMN-GA system use Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to find where to position the mesh nodes in order to maximize the coverage and the connectivity of the network. We evaluate and compare the performance of Weibull and Exponential distributions considering giant component and...
