Abstract
Wireless communication has seen gigantic advancement all the way through past years. The maturity of newer generations of technology and boost up in user mobility has created the need and demand for wireless networks that has triggered considerable technological advances as well as the investigation of optimization algorithms to support design and planning decisions. Wireless system providers will be vital to enlarge their infrastructure rapidly in order to meet this swift escalation in wireless data demand. Demand for cheaper and better wireless communication services from customers are the key factors to optimally design the cell geometry and select the minimum number of cell sites to provide maximum possible coverage. In this paper, we consider how to optimally determine the cell site locations such that, number of base stations (N) is minimum while coverage is maximum so that best possible service is possible with minimum infrastructural costs. An optimized algorithm is presented here that determines the optimal locations of base stations without performing an exhaustive search. The algorithm simulates the network, uses the function to rank the cells and then applies screening criteria that removes the cell with the and repeats the process until k cells are removed.
