Abstract

Studies about network infrastructure have been realized and applied in a high variety of service-based industries, these studies are currently being used to design the network infrastructure in smart cities. However, planning network infrastructure in different levels is a big problem to be solved, because, generally, literature presents solutions where just one level is processed and the problems are solved individually. Planning the distribution and connection of equipment at various levels of a network infrastructure is an arduous task, it is necessary to evaluate the quantity and the best geographical distribution of equipment at each level of the network. This research presents a metaheuristic inspired by the concepts of the genetic algorithms. The proposed paper can search for solutions to plan the network infrastructure of multilevel capacitated networks, solving the network planning problem and obtaining results that are 20% better at cost when compared with other solutions.
