An Approach to BTS Localization using Optimization Techniques

Optimization means to have maximum capacity, better quality and reduced cost. The growth of wireless communication is increasing as the need for better services has been increased in between the customers. This has led the researchers to work on the Radio Coverage. Radio Coverage in general gets affected by Antenna arrangements, Location of BTS and also the Performance of Base Station. This paper considered as how to locate the Optimal location of Base Station Transceiver (BTS), so that with minimum number of BTS, maximum number of user can be covered at less infrastructural cost. The idea of Using Evolutionary algorithm is quite effective and efficient as these algorithms are developed by modeling the behavior of different swarm of animals and insects eg ants, bees & birds. These algorithms can be used to determine the Optimal Location of BTS. In this paper, ABC algorithm is being used to localize BTS so as to cover maximum number of Subscriber. The results are then also compared with GA algorithm. Keywords—Artifical bee Colony(ABC),Genetic Algorithm,Base Transeiver Station(BTS),Monile Station(MS),Cellular Mobile Communication
