JFET_V1_N3_RP1 Sarath B. Siyambalapitiya Journal on Future Engineering and Technology 2230 – 7184 1 3 30 35 Minimum Span Frequency, Cellular Network, ant colony optimization approach We propose a new algorithm to solve the minimum span frequency assignment problem in cellular networks. The algorithm is based on the ant colony optimization approach in which several ants generate complete solutions simultaneously. In this algorithm, a complete tour is constructed by ants by visiting each cell in the system exactly once. February - April 2006 Copyright © 2006 i-manager publications.
