A Comparative Study of LDIWM and RIWM Router Replacement Methods for Two-Island WMNs Using PsBLX and SPX Crossover Methods
摘要
Optimizing the placement of mesh routers is essential for ensuring connectivity and efficient load balancing in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). In this paper, we consider two router replacement methods: Linearly Decreasing Inertia Weight Method (LDIWM) and Random Inertia Weight Method (RIWM). We integrate these methods in our implemented WMN-PSOHCDGA hybrid system and evaluate their performance using Parallelotope-Shaped Blend Crossover (psBLX) and Simplex Crossover (SPX) method. To validate their effectiveness, we compare LDIWM and RIWM with RDVM and FC-RDVM considered in our previous work. Simulation results show that RIWM successfully resolves the issues observed in previous study. While RDVM guarantees full client coverage and FC-RDVM optimizes load balancing, none of them achieves good performance for both metrics. We found that proposed psBLX-RIWM combination has better solution by achieving full client coverage and good load balancing.
