Abstract
In WMNs mesh routers provide network connectivity services to mesh client nodes. The good performance and operability of WMNs largely depends on placement of mesh routers nodes in the geographical deployment area to achieve network connectivity, stability and user coverage. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of WMN-GA system for node placement problem in WMNs. For evaluation, we consider Normal, Exponential and Weibull Distribution of mesh clients and different grid size. The simulation results show that the grid size effects in the performance of WMN-GA. The system performs better for Normal distribution.
