Assessment of RIWM and FC-RDVM for Small and Middle Scale WMNs Considering Stadium Distribution and UNDX-M Crossover Method.

In this paper, we present WMN-PSOHCDGA simulation system and implement two router replacement methods: RIWM and FC-RDVM for Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). We consider Stadium distribution of mesh clients and UNDX-m crossover method, and carry out a comparison study for small scale and middle scale WMNs. The simulation results indicate that for small scale WMNs, the SGC for RIWM and FC-RDVM is 100%, thus all mesh routers are connected. Considering NCMC, for RIWM two mesh clients are not covered, while for FC-RDVM are not covered four mesh clients. The load balancing of RIWM is better than FC-RDWM. Also for middle scale WMNs for both methods all mesh routers are connected. So, the SGC is maximized. The FC-RDVM can cover all mesh clients. However, for RIWM five clients are not covered. The load balancing for both methods is almost the same, but RIWM has slightly better load balancing than FC-RDVM.
