Mathematical Model for Optimal Location of Cellular Transmission Towers

This paper applies a mathematical model for the optimal location of cellular signal transmission towers in a scenario different from the original scenario for which the model was developed. The proposed optimization aims to maximize the number of users served while maintaining a minimum signal quality standard. To validate the model, measurement campaigns were carried out at 44 points in a residential setting in the municipality of Castanhal-PA, at frequencies of 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz. The model outputs provide the received power, the average loss and the optimal location of the new tower to be installed.
