Abstract :
This study deals with the access network design problem in universal mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS) networks. We provide a mathematical formulation of the problem with constraints on RNC and node-B capacities, along with a lower bounding method. We also develop a heuristic algorithm with two different initial solution methods designed to strengthen the solution quality, and demonstrate the computational efficacy of these procedures with several test problems.
