Abstract
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is designed for an IC factory
in Hong Kong using the hierarchical genetic algorithm (HGA). The HGA is
capable of handling multiobjective functions and discrete constraints.
Because of this uniqueness, together with the adoption of a Pareto
ranking scheme, a solution can be reached even when skewed
multiobjective functions and constraints confinements are being imposed.
It has been found from this study that a precise number of base stations
can be identified for the WLAN network, while it can satisfy a number of
objectives and constraints. This added feature provides a further design
tradeoff between cost and performance at no extra effort
