Abstract
In this paper, we focus on the development of an efficient heuristic in order to solve the planning problem of 3rd Generation (3G) Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) all-IP Release 4 networks. We also incorporate a realistic traffic profile taken from real live networks. Since the problem is NP-hard, an approximate algorithm based on the local search principles is proposed. Numerical results demonstrate that the local search algorithm produces solutions that are, on average, within 5.03% of the optimal solution, and in the best and worst cases at 0.87% and 9.29% of the optimal solution respectively.
