Tabu Search based Optimization Algorithm for Reporting Cell Planning in Mobile Communication  

Jang, Kil-woong (Department of Data Informatics, Korea Maritime and Ocean University)
Abstract
Cell planning, which determines the cell structure for location management of mobile terminals in mobile communications, has been dealt with as an important research task to determine network performance. Among the factors influencing the cell structure planning in mobile communication, the signal cost for location management plays the most important role. In this paper, we propose an optimization algorithm that minimizes the location management cost of all the cells used to plan the cell structure in the network with reporting cell structure in mobile communication. The proposed algorithm uses a Tabu search algorithm, which is a meta-heuristic algorithm, and the proposed algorithm proposes a new neighborhood generation method to obtain a result close to the optimal solution. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, the simulation was performed in terms of location management cost and algorithm execution time. The evaluation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing genetic algorithm and simulated annealing.
