IEEE 802.16, also known as WiMAX (Worldwide Inter-operability for Microwave Access), is a new wireless access technology for current increasing demand of wireless high-speed broadband service. Efficient and effective deployment of such a network to service an area of users with certain traffic demands is an important network planning problem. This network planning can be formulated in a similar...

This study presents a capacitated multi-facility location-allocation problem with stochastic demands based on a well-known distribution function. In this discrete environment, besides the capacitated facilities, we can employee the capacitated sub-source of each facility for satisfying demands of customers. The objective function is to find the optimal locations of facilities among a finite num...

In this paper, we study the uniform capacitated k-median problem. In the problem, we are given a set F of potential facility locations, a set C of clients, a metric d over F ∪ C, an upper bound k on the number of facilities we can open and an upper bound u on the number of clients each facility can serve. We need to open a subset S ⊆ F of k facilities and connect clients in C to facilities in S...

In this paper, we consider k-level hard capacitated facility location problem.
