Abstract

In this research work, we deal with the node placement problem in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). The problem is known to be computationally hard to solve. For this reason, we implement a hybrid intelligent simulation system called WMN-PSOHC. The implemented system combines Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Hill Climbing (HC), which are known as meta-heuristics. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of Fast Convergence Rational Decrement of the Vmax Method (FC-RDVM) replacement method, considering different distributions of mesh clients. The simulation results show that the FC-RDVM method performs better for Normal distribution compared with Uniform, Chi-square and Weibull distributions.
