A comparison study of Hill Climbing, Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithm for node placement problem in WMNs

Abstract: One of the key advantages of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) is their importance for providing cost-efficient broadband connectivity. There are issues for achieving the network connectivity and user coverage, which are related with the node placement problem. In this work, we compare Hill Climbing (HC), Simulated Annealing (SA) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) by simulations for node placement problem. We want to find the optimal distribution of router nodes in order to provide the best network connectivity and provid… Show more

“…Although they observed that both Genetic and Hill-Climbing algorithms appear to be able to improve accuracy of term selection, they did not find evidence that their implementation of GA performs better than that for their Hill-Climbing algorithm. A recent study by Sakamoto et al [46] elected to compare GAs and HC in a completely different problem domain, which is simulating the node placements problem for achieving the network connectivity and user coverage.…”

“…If it is worse, it substitutes it with probability P. As iterations continue, the temperature parameter value is decreased following a cooling schedule, thus biasing SA towards accepting only better solutions. The steps of the overall algorithm for SA to solve the WMN design problem are as follows [33]:…”

“…There are different approaches and intelligent systems that can be used to deal with NP-hard problems. In our previous work, we considered Genetic Algorithms (GAs), Neural Networks (NNs), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Hill Climbing (HC), Simulated Annealing (SA) and Tabu Search [12][13][14][15]. However, different intelligent algorithms have different efficiency for different problems.…”
