Ant colony system application to macrocell overlap removal.

We present a novel macrocell overlap removal algorithm, based on the ant colony optimization metaheuristic. The procedure generates a feasible placement from a relative placement with overlaps produced by some placement algorithms such as quadratic programming and force-directed. It uses the concept...
