Abstract
The base station location optimization is one of the most important issues in cellular networks. A novel genetic algorithm combined with the virtual force decoration to improve coverage performance of cellular networks is proposed. The virtual force decoration modifies the individuals and provides a better direction guide for the gene mutation. Experiences prove the proposed algorithm not only obtains higher coverage rate but also converges faster than the standard genetic algorithms.
