WMN-GA for Node Placement in WMN: Evaluation and Visualization Using HotSpot Ad-Hoc Method

In this work, we evaluate the performance of WMN-GA system for node placement in WMNs. For evaluation, we consider Exponential and Weibull distributions of mesh clients and HotSpot initial placement method. The population size is considered 64 and the number of generation 200. For evaluation, we consider the giant component and the number of covered users metrics. We also show the visualization process of mesh router placement for different number of generations. The simulation results shows that for Weibull distribution, mesh clients are concentrated at the bottom of the grid size and HotSpot method finds a better positioning of mesh clients compared with Exponential distribution.
