Reporting cell planning for cost reduction using binary genetic algorithm

In mobile access networks, location management is a major and complex issue where location information of the mobile user is essential to deliver incoming calls/SMS to the appropriate mobile stations (MSs). Many metaheuristic algorithms are developed to solve such types of important issue which is responsible for determining the network configuration. This paper proposes a conventional binary genetic algorithm (BGA) approach implemented to reporting cells planning problem in complex multimodal search spaces, since BGA is a conventional algorithm sufficiently able to solve the signalling cost problem along with the modifications in the generic operators. These modifications occur in the mutation operator. The simulation results obtained from the experiments conducted using the existing database along with the real time database. The proposed method shows better performance compared to existing algorithm. This simulation results obtained from the experiments reflects the effectiveness of the conventional BGA.
