how can i apply fitness function of GA to binary chromosomes each bit in the chromosomes represent weather to put antenna in this location or not the fittness function of coverage and cost

i need to optimize umts network using GA I'm using m.file GA i have chromosomes of 25 bit each representing state of location (put or not)but i do not know how to apply fitness function for evaluation if anyone can help with this subject I'll be very thankful

I think that you are asking how to use integer optimization using ga. To have your variables be binary, put lower bounds of 0 and upper bounds of 1 on every component ( lb = zeros(1,N) where N is the number of components).
