Bio-Inspired Algorithms for Mobile Location Management-A New Paradigm

摘要

Mobile location management (MLM) has gained a new aspect in today's cellular wireless communication scenario. It has two perspectives: location registration and location search and a trade-off between the two give optimal cost for location management. An outline of the prominent solutions for the cost optimization in location management using various bio-inspired computations is surveyed. For solving complex optimization problems in various engineering applications more and more such bio-inspired algorithms are recently being explored along with incremental improvement in the existing algorithms. This paper surveys and discusses potential approaches for cost optimization using fifteen bio-inspired algorithms such as Artificial Neural Network, Genetic Algorithm to newly developed Flower Pollination Algorithm and Artificial Plant Optimization. Finally, we survey the potential application of these bio-inspired algorithms for cost optimization in mobile location management issue available in the recent literature and point out the motivation for the use of bio-inspired algorithms in cost optimization and design of optimal cellular network.
