We consider a telecommunication problem in which the objective is to schedule data transmission to be as fast and as cheap as possible. The main characteristic and restriction in solving this multiobjective optimization problem is the very limited computational capacity available. We describe a simple but efficient local search heuristic to solve this problem and provide some encouraging numerical test results. They demonstrate that we can develop a computationally inexpensive heuristic without sacrificing too much in the solution quality.
