TITLE

Base Station Location Optimization with UTD and GO Models

ABSTRACT

Providing threshold signal quality is the most important problem in wireless communication for indoor and outdoor applications. Coverage mapping is required to deploy the base station to optimum place in order to ensure threshold value. Optimization of base station location is very important to communicate reliably, efficiently and healthy. Coverage is predicted by Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD) and geometrical optic (GO) models. By optimization, less number and power base station will be used. In this study, coverage maps are generated in all transmitter position and then optimum base station location is determined with using this coverage maps.

KEYWORDS

Optimization, Coverage mapping, UTD diffraction, wave propagation, path loss
