Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are a promising technology
for providing broadband wireless access to the end
user. They offer a higher degree of flexibility compared to
traditional networks but on the expense of a more complex
structure. Thus, planning and optimization of WMNs is a
challenge. In this paper, we address this challenge using
genetic algorithms. Genetic algorithms are able to evaluate
and optimize large-scale WMNs in relatively small computation
time. The results prove the effectiveness of the genetic
operators to optimize the routing and channel assignment in
WMNs.
