Optimization of a Wireless Access Network
Overview N Base Stations (BSs) at fixed locations are to be connected to a subset of M possible sites for Mobile Switching Centers (MSCs) in a cellular access network. The MSCs are, in turn, to be connected to a number of local exchanges of the public switched telephone network. Given the BS-MSC connection cost matrix, the MSC-LE connection vector, the MSC equipment cost vector, and the MSC capacity constraint vector, it formulates the network design problem as a matrix optimization problem with constraints. This paper introduces a simple exhaustive search algorithm to find the optimum solution matrix. This paper compares the algorithm to a heuristic algorithm from the literature. Both algorithms have been implemented in Matlab, and their computational efficiency compared on several examples.
