In order to provide a better connection among studies mentioned in this paper, MPF shapes and arrangements are briefly introduced in this section. In general, two types of arrangements are used in the literature, namely in-line and staggered. In an in-line arrangement, MPFs follow the previous column in a straight line. In a staggered arrangement, MPFs of the second column lie in a neighbor row, and this pattern switches until the end. Figure 1 shows in-line (left) and staggered (right) arrangements with circular MPFs. In addition, there are studies, which considered a variable MPF density design. These arrangements will be introduced in detail in the manuscript.
