Solving optimization problems in the fifth generation of cellular networks by using meta-heuristics approaches
Dalila Boughaci
Abstract
Meta-heuristics are a set of intelligent algorithms and techniques that have been used to solve various complex problems in several domains in particular in cellular networks and telecommunications. The complex problem tackled by a meta-heuristic approach should be modeled mathematically as an optimization problem where the aim is to optimize a certain objective function. Then, an iterative process is launched to search for high quality solutions i.e. those optimizing the objective function. In this paper, we are interested in the fifth generation of cellular networks. We start with highlighting some main concepts of the 5G mobile networks. Then we discuss important problems in 5G and show how these problems can be solved by using meta-heuristics approaches.
