Abstract :
In this analysis, a model for total wireless system costs is developed, using radiopart coverage and system topology as the independent variables. A system is examined to determine the interrelationships of the elements of cost. Finally, a model of total system costs is presented that allows a system designer to select key system components to achieve minimal overall cost
