Title
A Strength Pareto Approach to Solve the Reporting Cells Planning Problem
Abstract
This work addresses a multiobjective approach of the Reporting Cells Planning Problem. This optimization problem models a well-known strategy to manage the subscribers' movement in mobile networks. Our approach can be considered as a novel contribution because, to the best of the authors' knowledge, there are no other works in the literature that tackle this problem with multiobjective optimization techniques. Two are the main reasons for using a multiobjective approach. Firstly, we avoid the drawbacks associated with the linear aggregation of objective functions. And secondly, a multiobjective optimization algorithm provides (in a single run) a wide range of solutions, among which the network operator could select the one that best adjusts to the real state of the signaling network. In this work, we propose our version of the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2 (SPEA2), a well-known multiobjective evolutionary algorithm. We have checked the quality of our algorithm by means of an experimental study. This study clarifies that our proposal is very interesting because it achieves good Pareto Fronts and, at the same time, it outperforms the results obtained by other algorithms published in the literature.
