In this paper, we study high reliability, low latency and cost effective network planning for industrial wireless mesh networks. Based on the requirements of routing reliability, minimum end-to-end delay and reduced deployment cost in wireless mesh networks, such as WirelessHART network, we propose three network planning approaches following the principles of the shortest hops, the least routers and balance of the shortest hops and the least routers, respectively. We then implement the proposed algorithms respectively to generate the network deployment for a given factory layout. Simulation results show that there exists a performance trade-off between these three algorithms. The proposed algorithms have also been implemented and validated in an NS-2 WirelessHART network simulator.

工业无线网状网络的高可靠性，低延迟和经济高效的网络规划

在本文中，我们研究了工业无线网状网络的高可靠性，低延迟和经济高效的网络规划。根据路由可靠性，最小端到端延迟以及降低无线网状网络（例如WirelessHART网络）部署成本的要求，我们提出了三种网络规划方法，它们遵循跳数最短，路由器最少和平衡的原则。最短跳和最少路由器。然后，我们分别实现所提出的算法，以针对给定的工厂布局生成网络部署。仿真结果表明，这三种算法之间存在性能折衷。所提出的算法也已在NS-2 WirelessHART网络模拟器中实现和验证。
