For a flexible and low-cost access network to the Internet, we have studied WIMNET (Wireless Internet-access Mesh NETwork) that is composed of multiple access points (APs) as wireless routers. WIMNET utilizes two types of APs to achieve the scalability and the communication bandwidth while reducing the cost. One type is the expensive, note-PC based smart AP (SAP) that can use multiple channels for wireless communications and has various functions for the Internet access. Another type is the inexpensive, commercial-based conventional AP (CAP) that can use only one channel. For the performance enhancement, the proper allocation of SAPs among APs is critical in WIMNET, because the number of SAPs is usually much smaller than that of CAPs. In this paper, we present the formulation of the SAP allocation problem for WIMNET and its heuristic algorithm. Our algorithm seeks the best SAP allocation in terms of the newly defined cost function, after finding the communication route by applying our previous algorithms. We verify the effectiveness of our proposal through simulations in three instances using the WIMNET simulator. |
