Differential evolution for solving the mobile location management

In this work we present two new approaches to solve the location management problem, respectively, based on the location areas and the reporting cells strategies. The location management problem corresponds to the management of the network configuration with the objective of minimizing the costs involved. We use the differential evolution algorithm to find the best configuration for the location areas and the reporting cells strategies, which principally considers the location update and paging costs. With this work we want to define the best values to the differential evolution configuration, using test networks and also realistic networks, as well as compare our results with the ones obtained by other authors. These two new approaches applied to this problem have given us very good results, when compared with those obtained by other authors.
