Automatic determination of component types and locations for wireless network design
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method of determining component types and locations in a network design, the method including:
- a. determining, by a computer processor, the component types and locations according to a riser location as an entry point and antenna locations as a plurality of end points, in a floor plan;
b. determining, by a computer processor, the minimum required transmission power at a riser location to meet antenna equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) requirements in a floor plan;
c. determining, by a computer processor, the best riser location from available riser locations according to cost limitation or power transmission efficiency in a floor plan;
d. determining, by a computer processor, the component types and locations according to a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) location as an entry point and riser locations in different floors as a plurality of end points, in a building plan;
e. determining, by a computer processor, the minimum required BTS transmission power to meet said minimum required transmission power at each riser location calculated;
f. updating, by a computer processor, the component locations based upon areas specified as component non-placement area;
g. determining, by a computer processor, the initial types of cables according to the lengths of each cable;
h. adjusting, by a computer processor, sizes of some cables to increase power transmission efficiency from a BTS to antennas if the total cost budget allows;
i. adjusting, by a computer processor, the sizes of some cables to reduce the cable cost with the satisfaction of the antenna EIRP requirement;
j. determining, by a computer processor, types and locations of new components, and updating, by a computer processor, existing component types, according to the locations of new antennas for the system to be enhanced or upgraded to accept a new technology.

Abstract
A computer implemented method and system for determining component types and locations in a network design. The method includes automatically determining component types and locations according to a riser location as an entry point and antenna locations as a plurality of end points. The automatically determining component types and locations includes determining, by a processor of the computer, a first set of component types and locations according to a tree topology, according to the entry point and the plurality of end points, determining, by the processor, a second set of component types and locations according to a hybrid topology, according to the entry point and the plurality of end points, and determining, by the processor, one of the first set of component types and locations and the second set of component types and locations.
