Abstract :
We consider the automatic selection and configuration of base station sites for mobile cellular networks. A solution framework based on simulated annealing is used for site selection and for base station configuration. The configuration of each base station involves selecting various parameters. Results are presented for several design scenarios with between 250 and 750 candidate sites, and show that the solution framework can generate network designs with desired characteristics such as high area coverage and high traffic capacity
