A Multi-Stage Optimization Model With Minimum Energy Consumption-Wireless Mesh Networks

Optimization models related with routing, bandwidth utilization and power consumption are developed in the wireless mesh computing environment using the operations research techniques such as maximal flow model, transshipment model and minimax optimizing algorithm. The Path creation algorithm is used to find the multiple paths from source to destination.A multi-stage optimization model is developed by combining the multi-path optimization model, optimization model in capacity utilization and energy optimization model and minimax optimizing algorithm. The input to the multi-stage optimization model is a network with many source and destination. The optimal solution obtained from this model is a minimum energy consuming path from source to destination along with the maximum data rate over each link. The performance is evaluated by comparing the data rate values of superimposed algorithm and minimax optimizing algorithm. The main advantage of this model is the reduction of traffic congestion in the network.
