A GA-based Simulation System for WMNs: Performance Analysis for Different WMN Architectures Considering Transmission Rate and OLSR Protocol

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of two WMN architectures considering throughput, delay, jitter and fairness index metrics. For simulations, we used ns-3. We compare the performance for two architectures considering transmission rate and OLSR protocol. The simulation results show that for transmission rate 600 and 1200 [kbps], the throughput of Hybrid WMN is higher than I/B WMN. For transmission rate 600 and 1200 [kbps], the delay and jitter of Hybrid WMN is lower than I/B WMN. For transmission rate 600 and 1200 [kbps], the fairness index of I/B WMN is higher than Hybrid WMN.
