Abstract

This paper presents a new approach, the COSEARCH approach, for solving the Problem of Assigning Frequencies (FAP) on antennas of a cellular telecommunication network. The COSEARCH approach is a co-evolutionist method in which complementary meta-heuristics, such as genetic algorithm (GA) or tabu search (TS), cooperate in parallel via an adaptive memory (AM). We introduce an original encoding and two new cross-over operators suited to FAP. COSEARCH for the FAP is compared with other studies and its efficiency is revealed on both medium and large instances.
