Wireless Indoor Resource Optimisation meeting Prescribed UserCapacity Requirements

Abstract

The optimal locations of transmitters in a building, that best meet the bandwidth requirements of all users, was studied in the past by a small number of authors. They used empirical path loss models to constrain an optimization cost function. This paper concentrates on using a signal-to-interference ratio cost function with realistic field parameters obtained using a fast ray-tracing algorithm. The solution obtained is shown to perform well in realistic scenarios, meeting a large proportion of user bandwidth requirements. However, it does not perform well in an oversaturated environment.
