An Integrated Simulation System Considering WMN-PSO Simulation System and Network Simulator 3

With the fast development of wireless technologies, Wireless Mesh Net-works (WMNs) are becoming an important networking infrastructure due to their low cost and increased high speed wireless Internet connectivity. In our previous work, we implemented a simulation system based on Particle Swam Optimization for solving node placement problem in wireless mesh networks, called WMN-PSO. In this paper, we implement an integrated system considering WMN-PSO and net-work simulator 3 (ns-3). For simulation, we consider two WMN architectures. From simulation results, we found that the total received throughput of I/BWMNis higher than Hybrid WMN and the delay of I/B WMN is lower than Hybrid WMN.
