What is Macrocell

Chapter 17
Handbook of Research on Natural Computing for Optimization Problems
Microcell is the second largest cell in mobile network. It has a coverage area of 500m-2 km. It has a coverage area of 1-20 km. Due to medium coverage area, the power transmitted by a microcell base station is high but less than that of a macrocell base station.

Abstract
Nature inspired computing has been widely used to solve various research challenges of mobile network. Mobile network refers to mobile network, sensor network and ad hoc network. This chapter has focused on the application of nature inspired computing in mobile network. In this chapter, the bio-inspired techniques for wireless sensor network, mobile ad hoc network and mobile cloud computing are discussed. Ant colony optimization is used in sensor network and mobile cloud computing for efficient routing and scheduling respectively. Bee swarm intelligence is used to develop routing schemes for mobile ad hoc network. Bird flocking behavior is used for congestion control in wireless sensor network. The research challenges of bio-inspired mobile network are also illustrated.

Natural Computing in Mobile Network Optimization
In a mobile network the coverage area of a base station is known as cell. Macrocell is the largest cell in mobile network. It has a coverage area of 1-20 km. Due to large coverage area, the power transmitted by a macrocell base station is very high but at the boundary region the received signal strength is low.
