Optimization Methods for UMTS Radio Network Planning
نویسندگان
چکیده
The UMTS radio network planning problem poses the challenge of designing a cost-effective network that provides users with sufficient coverage and capacity. We describe an optimization model for this problem that is based on comprehensive planning data of the EU project Momentum. We present heuristic mathematical methods for this realistic model, including computational results.

متن کاملInteger Programming Methods for UMTS Radio Network Planning
Radio network planning for UMTS technology is a relevant task for operators in the current roll-out phase. We recall a mathematical mixed-integer programming model for planning cost-efficient radio networks under network quality constraints. Based on this model, we present network planning methods. Computational results are given for two large-scale, realistic scenarios, and we compare the mixe...
متن کاملRadio Network Planning with Combinatorial Optimisation Algorithms
Abstract: Future UMTS radio planning engineers will face difficult problems due to the complexity of the system and the size of these networks. In the STORMS project, a software for the optimisation of the radio network is under development. Two mathematical models of the radio planning problem are proposed. Two software prototypes based on these models are described with the first experimental...
متن کاملUMTS radio network evaluation and optimization beyond snapshots
This paper is concerned with UMTS radio network design. The task is to reconfigure antennas and the related cells as to improve network quality. In contrast to second generation GSM networks, interference plays a paramount role in the design of third generation radio networks. A recent compact characterization of a radio network through a linear equation system allows to assess cell load and in...
