A Strength Pareto Approach and a Novel Formulation in the Reporting Cells Planning

This paper addresses the Reporting Cells scheme, a popular strategy to track the subscribers' movement in mobile networks. As opposed to other authors, we propose a multiobjective approach to avoid the drawbacks associated with the linear aggregation of the objective functions. The optimization technique presented in this manuscript is our version of the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2. On the other hand, we provide a novel formulation to take into account aspects of the Reporting Cells scheme that were not contemplated in previously published works. By means of an experimental study, we demonstrate the goodness of our proposal.
