A Novel Approach for Selecting an Optimal Number of Cell Site Locations in Varying Geographic Regions for Cellular Networks

Facing the rapidly growing demand for mobile communication services and the limited available radio spectrum, a careful design of cellular networks in terms of coverage and capacity becomes of uttermost relevance. With the increasing demand for cheaper and better wireless communication services from customers, and the tendency to move toward smaller cell sizes it is becoming very important to optimally design the cell geometry and select the minimum number of cell sites to provide maximum possible coverage.
