Connectivity management on mobile network design

This paper deals with a mathematical model for designing cellular network. The model allows us to nd the optimal location for sites and the opti-mal parameterization for radio transmitters. The problem is modeled by discretizing the radio cover-age areas into receiver locations, service locations and site locations. We use a concentrator location approach in which a set of test points must be at-tached to sites in order to supply a given service. The model includes specic constraints to deal with network and cells connectivity problems. Network connectivity will ensure mobility inside the network designed. When cells connectivity takes into ac-count the dierent components of cells to reduce interference between cells. The nal model denes an objective function to minimize the number of sites and integrates connectivity and service con-straints.
