A Proposed System Using Genetic Algorithm for Energy Efficiency in Wireless Mesh Networks

Support of mobility is catalyst factor for use of wireless mesh networks (WMNs).They are intended to replace wired backbone for making communication trulywireless. With growing interest in WMNs, it can play significant contribution inachieving objective of energy efficient communication. With need of meetingacceptable qualities, networks are planned to support peak traffic demands. Butduring low traffic periods many of resources are not utilized up to their full capacity.A genetic algorithm based traffic consolidation approach has been designed forWMN. Given traffic demands redundant nodes are identified and allowed to sleep tominimize energy consumption. Tradeoff in saving by switching off underutilizednodes and transmission or reception energy has been considered. Results prove thatsignificant energy can be saved by traffic consolidation.
