  • Abstract
    There are special challenges about the construction of rural communications network, mainly by the cost of establishing them. This is due to the conditions of rural population, which is generally low paying capacities, and present a high dispersion, due to the low population density, hence it requires special considerations about coverage, particularly by the cost to establish a communication network.An important parameter cost rural networks is to build towers that support the antennas at a height that allows to set a link, this cost is highest than the costs attributed to communications equipment, therefore you have special attention. In this paper are explained the conditions about the height of the communications antennas towers and feasibility to the use of tubular steel masts and guyed towers to define the problem about the minimum cost towers. Panigrahi-Duttat-Naiswal-Naidu-Rastogi cost optimization algorithm which aims to solve the problem of network topology in rural areas, establishing the best communication tower height that allows to have an optimal cost-benefit ratio. Then numerical simulation of the proposed algorithm have been made an algorithm simple heuristics, in order to compare it with a simple heuristics algorithm and to do evident a better performance to reducing costs matters.
