Abstract
The placement of mesh routers in a mobile mesh network strongly influences the network performance. In particular, when the mesh clients are mobile, this deployment issue becomes more difficult to solve since mesh routers should adapt their locations to the dynamic network topology. In this letter, we propose to apply a simulated annealing algorithm to deal with the dynamic router node placement issue. The performance metrics considered when deploying these routers are: client coverage, network connectivity, and the average distance traveled by routers. Simulation results show a significant performance improvement in terms of client coverage and network connectivity and a considerable decrease in router movements.
