Optimal Coverage and Connectivity in Industrial Wireless Mesh Networks Based on Harris’ Hawk Optimization Algorithm

The placement of wireless mesh routers is a significant matter in enhancing the performance network. Therefore, it essential that are optimally placed to guarantee strong connectivity and coverage for ensuring best network accessibility. importance this issue has motivated researchers pursue more investigation on optimizing networks’ performance. Various optimization algorithms have been developed literature identify trade-offs between client coverage. This work aimed at implementing novel application Harris Hawk’s Optimization (HHO) algorithm place so as improve HHO seeks optimal leads maximizing connection increasing number covered clients. In study, three configurations used with sizes 40, 60, 100 routers. simulation results statistically analyzed compared other population-based such Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA), Gray Wolf’s (GWO), Particle Swarm (PSO). Moreover, state-of-the-art validate effectiveness proposed approach. findings statistical analysis confirm outperforms terms connectivity. outcomes demonstrate can be considered an efficacious means enhance networks (WMNs).
