Abstract
Wireless mesh networks consist of mesh clients, mesh routers and mesh access points. The mesh router connects wireless network services to the mesh client, and the mesh access point connects to the backbone network using a wired link and provides Internet access to the mesh client. In this paper, a limited number of mesh routers and mesh access points are used to propose optimization algorithms for network design for wireless mesh networks. The optimization algorithm in this paper has been applied with a sub-subscription algorithm, which is one of the meta-heuristic methods, and is designed to minimize the transmission delay for the placement of mesh routers and mesh access points, and produce optimal results within a reasonable time. The proposed algorithm was evaluated in terms of transmission delay and time to perform the algorithm for the placement of mesh routers and mesh access points, and the performance evaluation results showed superior performance compared to the previous meta-heuristic methods.
