Abstract:
Cost and quality are important issues in the network design. This paper presents an approach to wireless network cost optimization. The suggested model aims at determining optimal locations of access points which could provide service for receivers. The target service area would be determined by distribution of receivers and the access points would provide service coverage to serve prospective user-traffic demand in the selected area. Two created algorithms for location of access points are described and investigated with the designed experimentation system. Using these algorithms in designing wireless network may result in reduced costs for telecommunication companies.
