A Comparison Study of FC-RDVM and RIWM Router Placement Methods for WMNs: Performance Evaluation Results by WMN-PSOHC Simulation System Considering Chi-Square Distribution and Different Instances.

In this work, we deal with the node placement problem in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). We present a hybrid intelligent simulation system called WMN-PSOHC, which combines Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Hill Climbing (HC). We implement in WMN-PSOHC system the Fast Convergence Rational Decrement of Vmax Method (FC-RDVM) and Random Inertia Weight Method (RIWM) router replacement methods. By using WMN-PSOHC system, we carry out simulations the access the performance of these two methods considering Chi-Square distribution of mesh clients and two different instances. The simulation results show that FC-RDVM performs better then RIWM in the considered scenario.
