With the standardization of IEEE 802.11, there has been an explosive growth of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). Recently, this cost effective technology is being deployed aggressively for establishing the "Cellular Wi-Fi" network, where a large number of Access Points (APs) are interconnected by wireless links, forming a metro-scale wireless mesh network in order to support ubiquitous Internet access in the urban area. This paper focuses on the optimization of cellular Wi-Fi. In particular, the paper aims at finding a set of gateways and their optimal placement so as to minimize the network installation costs while maintaining reliability, flexibility, and an acceptable grade of service.
