— In third generation (3G) cellular networks, base stations are connected to base station controllers by pointto-point (usually T1/E1) links. However, today’s T1/E1 based backh...
In this paper we propose a new tabu search hyperheuristic which makes individual low level heuristics tabu dynamically using an analogy with the Binary Exponential Back Off (BEBO) ...
