ABSTRACT
The radio-to-fiber repeater uses two types of transmission media. The signals between a base station and a repeater are transmitted through the wireless channel, while those between a repeater and a terminal are transmitted through optical fiber. The main function of the radio-to-fiber repeater is to transmit/receive radio signals to/from base stations and the signals to/from terminals through the optical fiber. From Chan, T. M., Man, K. F., Tang, K. S., Kwong, S., Multiobjective optimization of radio-to-fiber repeater placement using a jumping gene algorithm, in Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology. As there are two types of genes in our chromosome-encoding method, two corresponding types of transposons can exist in each chromosome. For ease in referencing, they are called control transposons and parameter transposons. After performing the genetic operations (i.e., crossover and mutation), duplicated integers may emerge in a chromosome; hence an invalid chromosome results. Therefore, a repairing mechanism is implemented so that these invalid chromosomes are repaired.
