“…Several effective population-based algorithms used for optimal network placement in FiWi networks include Slime Mould Algorithm (SMA) [29] , Weighted Salp Swarm Algorithm (WSSA) [30] , Chaotic Local Search-based Levy Flight Distribution (CLS-LFD) [31] , Enhanced Backtracking Search Algorithm (EBSA) [32] , and Marine Predators Algorithm (MPA) [33] . In their research, Singh and Prakash [34] explored the optimal placement of relay nodes in fiber-wireless networks.…”
