摘要：Facing the rapidly growing demand for mobile communication services and the limited available radio spectrum, a careful design of cellular networks in terms of coverage and capacity becomes of uttermost relevance. With the increasing demand for cheaper and better wireless communication services from customers, and the tendency to move toward smaller cell sizes it is becoming very important 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 enhanced 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, removes the cell with the highest ranking, and repeats the process until k cells are removed.
