Globally Optimal Transmitter Placement for Indoor Wireless Communication Systems

Global Optimization of Transmitter Placement for Indoor Wireless Communication Systems

The DIRECT (DIviding RECTangles) algorithm [23], a variant of Lipschitzian methods for bound constrained global optimization, has been applied to the optimal transmitter placement for indoor wireless systems. Power coverage and BER (bit error rate) are considered as two criteria for optimizing locations of a specified number of transmitters across the feasible region of the design space. The pe...

Global Optimization of Transmitter Placement in Wireless Communication Systems

This paper explores the application of a global optimization technique to solve the optimal transmitter placement problem in wireless system design. An efficient pattern search algorithm—DIRECT (DIviding RECTangles) of Jones, Perttunen, and Stuckman (1993)—has been connected to a parallel 3D radio propagation ray tracing modeler running on a 200-node Beowulf cluster of workstations. The algorit...

Optimal Design of Reference Node Placement for Wireless Indoor Positioning Systems in Multi-Floor Building

In this paper, we propose an optimization technique that can be used to optimize the placements of reference nodes and improve the location determination performance for the multi-floor building. The proposed technique is based on Simulated Annealing algorithm (SA) and is called MSMR-M. The performance study in this work is based on simulation. We compare other node-placement techniques found i...
