Metaheuristic approaches for gateway placement optimization in wireless mesh networks: a survey

Recently Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have gained significant roles in communication technologies and have been used in many applications with high sensitivity to packet loss, delay and transmission time. Therefore, many researchers paid their attention for solving WMNs related issues. The WMN cons...
