The design of wireless telecommunications networks is a complex process, which requires
solving simultaneously many difficult combinatorial optimization problems. We propose a …

Handoff and cabling costs play key roles in the design of cellular telecommunications
networks. Efficient homing of cells to switches can have a significant impact on each of these …

This paper proposes a tabu search approach for assigning cells to switches in wireless
cellular networks. This problem is NP-hard and consequently cannot be practically solved by …

Even though significant improvement to communications infrastructure has been attained in
the personal communication service industry, the issues concerning the assignment of cells …

This paper deals with an approach for planning location areas (LAs) in a personal
communication services network (PCSN) to be overlaid on an existing wired network. Given …

Assigning cells to switches in cellular mobile networks is an NP-hard problem which, for
realsize mobile networks, could not be solved by using exact methods. In this context …

This paper proposes an evolutionary approach to solve the problem of assigning cells to
switches in the planning phase of mobile cellular networks. Well-known in the literature as …

Cellular genetic algorithms (cGAs) are a kind of genetic algorithm (GA)—population based
heuristic—with a structured population so that each individual can only interact with its …

Handoff and cabling cost management plays a key role in the design of cellular
telecommunications networks. The efficient assignment of cells to switches in this type of …
