Network Optimization & Scalability
Enhancement of LTE and NR systems through efficient physical cell identity allocation
This work addresses the critical challenge of Physical Cell Identity (PCI) allocation in evolving mobile communication systems, where a limited pool of identifiers can lead to collisions, interference, and reduced network performance. By modeling networks as graphs and applying advanced optimization techniques—including graph coloring algorithms, clustering, and metaheuristics like BRKGA and ILP—this research aims to efficiently assign PCIs and minimize conflicts. Simulation results demonstrate significant improvements over traditional strategies, reducing identity conflicts by up to 80% and enhancing key performance metrics such as signal quality, handover success rates, and overall network throughput.

Analyze Performance Metrics
| Algorithm | Time Complexity | Memory Usage | Solution Quality | Key Advantages | Key Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ILP (Integer Linear Programming) | Exponential (O(3^N)) | High (stores all constraints) | Optimal, minimal conflicts | Guarantees optimal solution | Very slow for large N, high risk, volatile |
| DSATUR (Degree of Saturation) | Polynomial (O(N² × MAXPCI)) | Low to Medium | Good (Heuristic) | Fast, easy to implement, good for medium networks, excels in small deployments | May not find global optimum, some conflicts, volatile |
| BRKGA (Biased Random-Key Genetic Algorithm) | Depends on generations & population size (O(G x P x N²)) | Medium to High | Near Optimal | Escapes local minima, flexible for large networks, most stable & predictable | Needs parameter tuning, slower than DSATUR, stochastic results |
Statistical validation highlights BRKGA as the 'Most Stable & Predictable' with a Coefficient of Variation (CV) of 56.5%, crucial for large-scale, dynamic networks. DSATUR and ILP (clustering) were found to be 'Most Volatile' (CV > 100%), indicating less predictable performance in varying network conditions.
