Design of gateway locations in an indoor WMN

In literatures, the performance of Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) has been investigated through end to end delay and throughput by assuming the same quality on each hop. However, this assumption is hardly true in practice due to the physical obstructions in wireless link. In this paper, the design of gateway locations in an indoor scenario has been presented by taking a physical environment into account. The simulation results show that throughput and delay are significantly influenced by changing the location of gateway. This paper does not only provide a frame work for studying WMN performance but also gives an insight into the design strategy for WMN gateway.
