1. A method for calculating an optimal number of base transceiver stations (BTSs) in a wireless network having a plurality of BTSs providing communication service to mobile stations in a coverage area, said method comprising the steps of:

  • calculating a first number of BTSs in accordance with a decrease in traffic as a loading factor value increases, wherein the loading factor value is an accommodation limit of each of the BTSs;

    calculating a second number of BTSs in accordance with an increase in the coverage area as the loading factor value increases;

    determining a loading factor value using the first and second numbers; and

    determining the optimal number of BTSs based on the determined loading factor value.
