Multicriteria design model for cellular network

This paper considers the design problem for cellular network. Design consists in determining locations and parameters of radio transmitters so-called base stations. Cellular networks are deployed on large geographical area. A description of different discrete sets of test points is given on this working area, then a concentrator location approach is defined. The sets of test points have to be optimally attached to base stations in order to supply the best quality of service. The design model deals with specific engineering constraints of cellular systems. At the end, the full design model defines a classical concentrator link approach on a multicriteria basis.
