Locating Base Stations for Mobile Servers

In this paper we review location models, specifically covering location models, which are applicable to modeling the location of base stations for cellular phone users. The definition of cover is revisited, suggesting three new definitions of cover: two gradual cover models, and one sum cover model. A new objective for covering models, the variable radius model, is proposed. The probability tha...

Base Stations in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Multi-hop ad-hoc networks consist of nodes which cooperate by forwarding packets for each other to allow communication beyond the power range of each node. In pure ad-hoc networks, no additional infrastructure is required to allow the nodes to communicate. Multi-hop hybrid networks are a combination of ad-hoc and cellular networks. As in ad-hoc networks, the nodes forward packets on behalf of o...

Mobile phone base stations-Effects on wellbeing and health.

Studying effects of mobile phone base station signals on health have been discouraged by authoritative bodies like WHO International EMF Project and COST 281. WHO recommended studies around base stations in 2003 but again stated in 2006 that studies on cancer in relation to base station exposure are of low priority. As a result only few investigations of effects of base station exposure on heal...
