Abstract

With the emergence of new technologies and services, it is very important to accurately identify the factors that affect the design of the wireless access network and define how to take them into account to achieve optimally performing and cost-efficient networks. Till now, most existing efforts have been focused the basic access capability. This article describes a way to deal with the trade-offs generated during the LTE Access network design, and presents a service-oriented optimization framework that offers a new perspective for this process with consideration of the technical and economic factors of this kind of networks. We propose a mixed integer programming model with the use of the method of the Pareto front and Multiobjective Tabu Search. An example of deployment is presented.
