Popis: This paper presents a multi-objective immune memetic algorithm to the challenge of solving the Frequency Assignment Problem (FAP) in cellular networks seeking the minimization of the network’s total interference, the maximum interference and the number of used frequencies. The originality of the proposed approach lies in integrating a FAP-specific local search into its evolutionary process instead of crossover and mutation, as well as a guided diversification strategy for better performances. Moreover, the algorithm is supplemented with a clonal selection, inherited from Artificial Immune Systems (AIS), which aims to improve the algorithm exploration and exploitation abilities. Computational experiments performed over COST259 instances show the efficiency of the newly proposed evolutionary multi-objective algorithm and corroborated by the comparisons we did with the most frequently referred algorithm in the related literature. Furthermore, the effect of the main parameters and the interaction between them is analyzed using statistical tools.
