MABC: Power-Based Location Planning with a Modified ABC Algorithm for 5G Networks by Ruchi Sachan, Zahid Muhammad, Jaehoon (Paul) Jeong, Chang Wook Ahn, Hee Yong Youn

“…This paper proposes an improved Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm which uses the set of variables such as the transmission power and location of each base station (BS) to improve the accuracy of localization of a user equipment (UE) for the efficient energy consumption at BSes. To estimate the optimal configuration of BSes and reduce the power requirement of connected UEs, we enhanced the ABC algorithm, which is named a Modified ABC (MABC) algorithm, and compared it with the latest work on Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) and Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. …”
