Determining best setup sites for cellular towers using fuzzy logic

Setting up cellular towers is a much more arduous job than it seems upfront. While selecting a particular site for setting up a cellular tower, it becomes extremely important that we take into account several paradoxical and conflicting criteria. Ultra high frequencies used for mobile communication make the setting up of cellular towers near residential areas highly unsuitable, while on the other hand the range served by the base stations suffer if they are setup at far off places. So, such situations including more contradicting factors when accounted call for the need of some reliable system that can handle these conditions in a cumulative manner and give a best solution under known circumstances. This research is an attempt to design and implement a fuzzy logic system to select most appropriate sites for installation of cellular towers. In the system designed, six input parameters which are Nearest building threshold distance, Interference with other wireless users, Ground Terrain, End-user density, Cellular Interference and Electromagnetic Radiation level are evaluated using Fuzzy system to infer an output parameter Overall Suitability.
