“…Resource-aware routing is an ongoing development in the research community, with a relative study of resource-aware cross-layer routing for FANETs performed by the authors of the present paper in [35]. Cross-layering (the utilization of, e.g., physical/MAC-layer parameters in the context of network-layer routing) has the potential to increase performance for the physical and link-layer processing, which will, in turn, enable lower costs for operators in terms of extremely dense deployments namely in Industry 4.0 use-cases [36] or emergency applications [37]. Finally, the seamless mobility and integration of heterogeneous links for collaboration in the same ad hoc cellular network, will be supported by multi-connectivity and a cell-less architecture envisaged in [38] and enabled the utilization of novel scheduling algorithms and a new core network design.…”

Advances in the fields of networking, broadband communications and demand for high-fidelity low-latency last-mile communications have rendered as-efficient-as-possible relaying methods more necessary than ever. This paper investigates the possibility of the utilization of cellular-enabled drones as aerial base stations in next-generation cellular networks. Flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) acting as clusters of deployable relays for the on-demand extension of broadband connectivity constitute a promising scenario in the domain of next-generation high-availability communications. Matters of mobility, handover efficiency, energy availability, optimal positioning and node localization as well as respective multi-objective optimizations are discussed in detail, with their core ideas defining the structure of the work at hand. This paper examines improvements to the existing cellular network core to support novel use-cases and lower the operation costs of diverse ad hoc deployments.

“…For transportation-sector problems, it was first used for routing and location problems where authors implemented it in the traveling salesman problem and the p-median location problem [32]. SA is often used for solving similar positioning and allocation problems such as the allocation in electric vehicle charging stations [33], the positioning of small cells for coverage and for costefficient 5G network deployment [34], multi-base buoy passive localization [35], swarm optimization in underwater acoustic positioning [36,37], intelligent bus positioning based on Internet of Things [38], etc. SA was also applied for logistic hub location-allocation problems [39,40] and for solving pickup and delivery problems [41][42][43][44][45].…”

The development of a sustainable postal system depends on the sustainability of its postal network, especially the organization of the postal access points. Postal service providers around the world face great challenges due to changes in the service trends and in consumer behavior. In this paper, the authors argue the importance of the postal network and its significance in rural areas. Methodologies including advanced search algorithms such as brute force and simulated annealing are proposed for best determining the possible locations of postal access points with no or minimal decrease in service accessibility. To the best of our knowledge, these algorithms are scarcely used for determining postal service accessibility. The results show that the decline of the postal office could significantly affect service accessibility. An analysis of the numbers of access points and their impacts on the postal network is provided, as well as the scenario of an additional access point. This methodology could help postal service providers to better plan network organization and resources. For service users, the application of the methodology adds to better service accessibility that considers the distances traveled.

“…Although a special disk-shaped blockage free regions (BFR) model is created, it is still time-consuming to evaluate the signal level of all grids in sequence. Based on a smart simulated annealing approach, the author of [36] designed two SC displacement schemes, random displacement approach and probed displacement approach, to find the optimal SC sites. However, it also needs to calculate the coverage rate grid by grid, and worse still, once the fitness function is calculated, the coverage quality of all grids must be calculated again.…”

Millimeter wave (mmW) is being deployed in hotspot scenarios for providing high bandwidths. However, the coverage of mmW cell is limited due to the rapid attenuation during the propagation and sensitivity to blockage by obstacles. In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic programming approach for automated dimensioning and appropriate placement of mmW small cells (SCs) in dense urban under the constraints of coverage and budget. Being cognizant of the blockage by city buildings, a fast search algorithm based on vector is introduced to enable most line-of-sight (LOS) communication links between base stations (BSs) and mobile stations (MSs). The analysis of time complexity is also derived in closed forms. The evaluation of our approach was carried out in both hypothetic and realistic scenarios. Results show that the studied model is effective for a real large-scaled network and 4 or 5 times faster than the conventional ones based on grid-map.
