A multi-objective approach to indoor wireless heterogeneous networks planning based on biogeography-based optimization

In this paper, we present a multi-objective optimization approach for indoor wireless network planning subject to constraints for exposure minimization, coverage maximization and power consumption minimization. We consider heterogeneous networks consisting of WiFi Access Points (APs) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) femtocells. We propose a design framework based on Multi-objective Biogeography-ba...

Wireless Mesh Networks Topology Auto Planning

Wireless mesh networks have seen a real progress because of their implementation at a low cost. Thus, the planning of such networks presents many challenges for network operators. Our aim in this paper is to provide a new solution to the planning problem using a multi-objective optimization approach. Refer ences I. F. Akyildiz, X. Wang, and W. Wang, "Wireless mesh networks: a survey",...

Point-Based Planning for Multi-Objective POMDPs

Many sequential decision-making problems require an agent to reason about both multiple objectives and uncertainty regarding the environment’s state. Such problems can be naturally modelled as multi-objective partially observable Markov decision processes (MOPOMDPs). We propose optimistic linear support with alpha reuse (OLSAR), which computes a bounded approximation of the optimal solution set...

A multi-hop PSO based localization algorithm for wireless sensor networks

A sensor network consists of a large number of sensor nodes that are distributed in a large geographic environment to collect data. Localization is one of the key issues in wireless sensor network researches because it is important to determine the location of an event. On the other side, finding the location of a wireless sensor node by the Global Positioning System (GPS) is not appropriate du...
