Title
Exact Algorithms and Approximation Schemes for Base Station Placement Problems
Abstract
This paper concerns geometric disk problems motivated by base station placement problems arising in wireless network design. We first study problems that involve maximizing the coverage under various interference-avoidance constraints. A representative problem for this type is the maximum weight independent set problem on unit disk graphs, for which we present an exact solution whose complexity is exponential but with a sublinear exponent. Specifically, our algorithm has time complexity 2O(驴mlogm), where m is the number of disks. We then study the problem of covering all the clients by a collection of disks of variable radii while minimizing the sum of radii, and present a PTAS for this problem.
