## 3 MVO Algorithm and Its Application to Solve the RNP-WMN Problem
### MVO Algorithm
We ran simulations on a variety of network instances, changing the number of mesh routers, mesh clients, and coverage area. The simulation results show that the MVO algorithm outperforms the WOV, GA, and PSO algorithms in terms of connected client ratio and path loss. In the next work, we will continue to develop algorithms by considering more constraints on quality of transmission and quality of service, such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), bit error rate (BER), and traffic load offered to each mesh router in order to improve the performance of WMN.
