ABSTRACT:
A technique for reducing costs associated with a radio access network of a mobile telecommunications network includes configuring the radio access network using a linear programming model of the radio access network subject to constraints. The technique includes selecting cellular sites and hub locations of the radio access network to be connected by broadband wireless links based on the linear programming model and constraints. In at least one embodiment of the invention, a method of designing a radio access network of links between a cellular site and a core network includes selecting at least one first link of the radio access network to be at least one first wireless link at least partially based on a linear programming model of the radio access network. The method includes configuring an output device of a computer system to indicate the selection.
