Tackling electrosmog in completely configured 3G networks by parallel cooperative meta-heuristics

The high quality standards required by third-generation systems can be reached only by way of a careful tuning of all the parameters of antenna configurations. However, concerns about exposure to electromagnetic fields should also be taken into account when designing telecommunication networks. In this article we investigate how parallel cooperative meta-heuristics provide the means to achieve both goals: devising a complete network configuration that meets coverage and service quality constraints, and minimizing electromagnetic field levels
