Modeling Base Station Selection in Open Access Picocell Networks Using Particle Swarm Optimization

This paper studies the base station selection in open access picocell networks using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. Mobile users can choose to connect either a picocell or a microcell to improve their signal quality. Modeling base station in an area gives various signal quality, which depends on the distance between mobile user and base station. The problem can be formulated as…
