Description: In a Wireless Mesh Network (WMN), the traffic is
aggregated and forwarded towards the gateways. Strategically
placing and connecting the gateways to the wired backbone is
critical to the management and efficient operation of a WMN.
In this paper, we address the problem of gateways placement,
consisting in placing a minimum number of gateways such that
QoS requirements are satisfied. We propose a polynomial time
near-optimal algorithm which recursively computes minimum
weighted Dominating Sets (DS), while consistently preserving
QoS requirements across iterations. We evaluate the
performance of our algorithm using both analysis and
simulation, and show that it outperforms other alternative
schemes by comparing the number of gateways placed in
different scenarios.
