In order to satisfy the increasing demand in such cellular mobile networks, we use a hybrid approach consisting of a Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) combined with a Tabu Search(TS) algorithm. This approach takes both advantages of PSO efficiency in global optimization and TS in avoiding the premature convergence that would lead PSO to stagnate in a local minimum. Moreover, we propose a new efficient, simple, and inexpensive model for storing and evaluating solution's assignment. The purpose of this model reduces the solution's storage volume as well as the computations required to evaluate thesesolutions in comparison with the classical model. Our simulation results on the most known benchmarking instances prove the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm in comparison with previous related works in terms of convergence rate, the number of iterations, the solution storage volume and the running time required to converge to the optimal solution.展开更多

The family of algorithms called AGAGD_x_y is designed to be doubly genetic, meaning that any decomposition method and different heuristics for the genetic operators can be considered. To validate the approach, the decomposition algorithm due to Newman was used and several crossover operators based on structural knowledge such as the cluster, separator and the cut were tested. The experimental results obtained on the most challenging Minimum Interference-FAP problems of CALMA instances are very promising and lead to interesting perspectives to be explored in the future.展开更多
