Abstract

This paper concerns a geometric disk problem motivated by base station placement issues arising in wireless network design. The problem requires covering a given set of clients by a collection of disks of variable radii around a given set of base station locations while minimizing the sum of radii. A polynomial time approximation scheme is presented for this problem.
