A new approach to location area configurations named Linked-Adjacency List Coded(LAL_Coded) based on Genetic Algorithms(GA) is proposed.Based on the Location Areas(LAs) schema that is currently used in the GSM networks,the encoding method that linked-adjacency lists of graph represents the chromosomes is used,which makes location update cost be easily accounted and makes it convenient for combining adjacent cells into a LA,and the method that only mutation is performed without crossover operation avoids generating the scattered LAs.Experimental result shows that the modified GA can find the optimal location area configurations rapidly,thus minimizing the location management cost.
