The wireless network design problem

<p>The wireless network design problem (WNDP) considers how best to place a set of antennas so the antennas can send and receive the maximum possible amount of data subject to network-performance constraints (e.g., channel-availability constraints). To date, little research has considered how...

description <p>The wireless network design problem (WNDP) considers how best to place a set of antennas so the antennas can send and receive the maximum possible amount of data subject to network-performance constraints (e.g., channel-availability constraints).
