The Coral Reefs Optimization Algorithm: A Novel Metaheuristic for Efficiently Solving Optimization Problems

Table 11

Best values obtained in the MNDP problem considered at Alcalá de Henares, by the proposed CRO and an existing EA. EF stands for electric field and NC stands for noncoverage percentage.

Algorithm	Min. fitness	EF (mV/m)	Cost (K€)	NC (%)	Number of BTSs
EA in [50]	0.21554	3.16	2.4	2.75	10
CRO	0.1991	3.54	2.3	1.77	12
