In our previous work, we implemented a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based simulation system for node placement in WMNs, called WMN-PSO. Also, we implemented a simulation system based on simulated annealing (SA) called WMN-SA. In this paper, we implement a hybrid simulation system based on PSO and SA, called WMN-PSOSA. We evaluate the performance of WMN-PSOSA by conducting computer simulations considering four different replacement methods. The simulation results show that the rational decrement of Vmax method and linearly decreasing inertia weight method have better performance compared with constriction method and random inertia weight method.

In this paper, we present the implementation of a testbed for WMNs using Raspbian and OpenWRT OSs. We analyze the performance of Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol in an indoor scenario. For evaluation we considered throughput, Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), delay, jitter and hop count metrics. The experimental results show that the testbed mounted in OpenWRT has better results than Raspbian.

In this paper, we compare the performance of Exponential and Weibull distributions of mesh clients for two WMN architectures considering PDR, throughput, delay, fairness index and energy metrics. For simulations, we used ns-3, Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP) and TCP. The simulation results show that the PDR for both distributions is almost the same. The throughput of Exponential distribution is a little bit higher than Weibull distribution. The delay of Weibull distribution is lower than Exponential distribution. For Hybrid WMN, the fairness index of Exponential distribution is higher than Weibull distribution. But for I/B WMN, the fairness index of Weibull distribution is higher than Exponential distribution.

For simulations, we used ns-3 and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). We compare the performance for Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP) and Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) for normal and uniform distributions of mesh clients by sending multiple Constant Bit Rate (CBR) flows in the network. The simulation results show that the PDR for both distributions and architectures is almost the same, but the PDR of HWMP is a little bit better than OLSR. the throughput is better for normal distribution and I/B WMN architecture in case of HWMP. However, for OLSR and normal distribution, the throughput of Hybrid WMN is a little bit higher than I/B WMN. For both distributions the delay of both architectures is better for HWMP compared with OLSR. For both WMN architectures and routing protocols for normal and uniform distributions, respectively. For normal distribution, the energy decreases sharply, because of the high density of nodes, thus the nodes spend more energy. So, the uniform distribution has better performance compared with normal distribution considering the energy parameter.
