Title:Gateway Placement and Selection Solutions in WMNs: A Survey
View PDFAbstract:Due to the high demand of Internet access by users, and the tremendous success of wireless technologies, Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have become a promising solution. IGW Placement and Selection (GPS) are significantly investigated problems to achieve QoS requirements, network performance, and reduce deployment cost in WMNs. Best effort is made to classify different works in the literature based on network characteristics. At first, one of the most principal capabilities of WMNs, which is taking advantage of using multi-radio routers in a multi-channel network, is studied. In this article, GPS protocols considering a definition of three types of WMN are investigated based on channel-radio association including Single Radio Single Channel (SRSC), Single Radio Multi- Channel (SRMC), and Multi-Radio Multi-Channel (MRMC) WMNs. Furthermore, a classification regarding static and dynamic channel allocation policies is derived. In addition, the reported works from the viewpoint of network solutions are classified. The first perspective is: centralized, distributed or hybrid architectures. Following this classification, the studies are categorized regarding optimization techniques, which are operation research-based solutions, heuristic algorithms, and meta-heuristic-based algorithms.
