USING DATA MINING TECHNIQUES TO PLAN MOBILE BASE STATIONS LAYOUT IN THE PRESENCE OF OBSTACLES

Abstract

Long Term Evolution “LTE” Advanced-based Heterogeneous Networks are introduced to improve spectral efficiency per unit area. A mix of Femtocell, Pico, Macro and Relay base stations are used in LTE Advanced-based Heterogeneous Networks. Low cost and flexible deployments and a uniform broadband experience are to be provided to users anywhere in the Heterogeneous networks. The network specialist try to deal with these challenges by adding indoor base stations, but other problems appear to them because they are adding them without considering critical constraints such as a number of users, type of base stations, indoor and outdoor interference.
