MABC: Power-Based Location Planning with a Modified ABC Algorithm for 5G Networks

الملخص EN

The modernization of smart devices has emerged in exponential growth in data traffic for a high-capacity wireless network.

5G networks must be capable of handling the excessive stress associated with resource allocation methods for its successful deployment.

We also need to take care of the problem of causing energy consumption during the dense deployment process.

The dense deployment results in severe power consumption because of fulfilling the demands of the increasing traffic load accommodated by base stations.

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.

The proposed algorithm not only determines the optimal coverage of underutilized BSes but also optimizes the power utilization considering the green networks.

The performance comparisons of the modified algorithms were conducted to show that the proposed approach has better effectiveness than the legacy algorithms, ABC, RCGA, and DE.
