In this paper, a new method is proposed for loadrnbalancing in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). WMNsrnthat consist of static wireless routers, some of which,rncalled gateways, are directly connected to the wiredrninfrastructure. This policy is based on Ant-Net methodrnwith movable factors having operation similar to ant. Thernmain point considered in this proposed method isrncapability of breeding of ants. This capability isrncontinuation of route that is produced by the parent ants.rnBy this capability, the target is to find an optimized routernby creating a number of generations. In addition, it usesrnvarious generations, in a type of genetic algorithm to findrnoptimized route. This can provide the required route withrnspecial goals. This method is able to prevent some of therndifficulties which have not been seen in the colonyrnalgorithms of ants. The results show that, this newrnproposed method shows better operation in comparison tornAnt-Net and other related methods. Also it canrnsignificantly increase the throughput and reduce the raternof delay in the network.
