Abstract
The optimal base station placement and effective radio resource management are of paramount importance tasks in cellular wireless networks. This paper deals with automatic planning of base station sites on a studied scenario, maintaining coverage requirement and enabling the transmission of traffic demands distributed over the area. A city scenario with different demands is examined and the advantages/disadvantages of this method are discussed. The planner and optimizing tasks are based on an iterative K-Means clustering method. The planning method involves base station positioning and selecting antenna main lobe direction. Results of the output network deployment of this algorithm are shown, with various traffic loads over the studied area.
