Zero-Degree algorithm for Internet GateWay placement in backbone wireless mesh networks

Placement of Internet Gateway Nodes in Wireless Mesh Networks

Wi-Fi based hotspots are used to provide broadband Internet service in airports, campuses, remote areas and others. They are time consuming and expensive to setup as they require substantial wired infrastructure to access the backhaul network and they also suffer from the last mile wireless connectivity problem. Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) provide an alternative in the form of wireless backhau...

Gateways Placement in Backbone Wireless Mesh Networks

This paper presents a novel algorithm for the gateway placement problem in Backbone Wireless Mesh Networks (BWMNs). Different from existing algorithms, the new algorithm incrementally identifies gateways and assigns mesh routers to identified gateways. The new algorithm can guarantee to find a feasible gateway placement satisfying Quality-of-Service (QoS) constraints, including delay constraint...

A Genetic Approach for Gateway Placement in Wireless Mesh Networks

Recently, Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) has gained important roles in current communication technologies. It has been used in several applications, which the majorities of them are critical applications such as surveillance and rescue systems. Hence, the WMN attracts a bunch of attention from many researchers. WMN consists of mainly mesh clients (MC) s and mesh routers (MR) s, some of the latter ...

Gateway Load Balancing in Wireless Mesh Networks

Gateway nodes are most important in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) as most of the traffic is forwarded through them. As a result of this imbalance in the network condition may occur if one gateway becomes overloaded (through which maximum flow is forwarded) and some become underutilized. We propose one Gateway Load Balancing Algorithm (GWLBA) which is a distributed load-balancing protocol where ...
