Abstract

The Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are becoming an important networking infrastructure because they have many advantages such as low cost and increased high speed wireless Internet connectivity. In our previous work, we implemented a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based simulation system, called WMN-PSO, and a simulation system based on Genetic Algorithm (GA), called WMN-GA, for solving node placement problem in WMNs. In this paper, we implement a hybrid simulation system based on PSO and distributed GA (DGA), called WMN-PSODGA. We analyze the performance of WMN-PSODGA by computer simulations considering different client distributions. Simulation results show that the WMN-PSODGA has good performance when the client distribution is Normal compared with the case of Exponential distribution.
