Abstract
Hybrid search heuristics are known to be valuable in generating better and/or faster solutions to computational hard search problems than evolutionary techniques in isolation. Inspired by the idea of nest building, we introduce a new hybrid approach to network planning that uses a nest builder to follow a given movement sequence and decide whether to place nesting material; this corresponds to visiting candidate base station sites and configuring transmission powers. A genetic algorithm then evolves better search patterns for subsequent generations to simulate learning. The goal of this paper is to investigate the usefulness of this notion during the bi-objective optimization of a wireless network to find the best site locations and starting powers for use in subsequent site dimensioning. The model, algorithms, test, and results are fully delineated with respect to two real-world network planning scenarios.
