Cost-efficient deployment of multi-hop wireless networks over disaster areas using multi-objective meta-heuristics

Multi-session Packet Scheduling Approaches over Multi-hop Wireless Networks

Wireless Networks make possible many new emerging applications in a wide range of domains. Packet scheduling in multi-hop wireless networks has a significant impact on the overall system performance. This paper analysis the performance of three different packet scheduling methods in multi-session, multi-hop wireless networks.

A Survey of Multi-Objective Deployment in Wireless Sensor Networks

The major challenge in designing wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is to find tradeoff between the desired and contrary requirements for the lifetime, coverage or cost while coping with the computation, energy and communication constraints. This paper examines the optimal placement of nodes for a WSN. It is impossible to consider the deployment of the nodes separately from WSNs applications. We h...

Multi-criteria Optimization Approach for the Deployment Planning Problem of Multi-hop Wireless Networks

The few studies carried out so far on planning Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) tend all to be monoobjective optimization models. We propose a different approach to address the planning of WMN problem that reflects as much as possible the real-life problem. Basically, an optimal (or rather a good and realistic) planning solution has to be simultaneously cheap (minimizing the deployment cost) and e...

Underwater Robot Task Planning Using Multi-Objective Meta-Heuristics

Robotics deployed in the underwater medium are subject to stringent operational conditions that impose a high degree of criticality on the allocation of resources and the schedule of operations in mission planning. In this context the so-called cost of a mission must be considered as an additional criterion when designing optimal task schedules within the mission at hand. Such a cost can be con...
