Cellular Base Station Deployment Using PSO and Genetic Algorithm

The need for efficient deployment of base station(BS) is increasing day by day. Initially one base station was deployed in a large area but the signal strength obtained from that area was very low. A new deployment method for satisfying the 5G features became crucial. The positioning of base stations at the optimal location plays a major role in cellular communication. In this paper we had implemented two algorithms - Particle Swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm and Genetic Algorithm(GA). Our aim is to provide the best coverage area and to meet all the user data rate requirements. We had compared both the algorithms based on certain parameters and chosen the best algorithm that meets all the user requirements.
