Several optimization approaches have been compared to optimally locate and power size the RBSs of a GSM network, in order to efficiently dimension the transceiver properties without exceeding radioprotection limits. Such optimization tools are embedded within a planning system where several modules interact, exploiting each other’s features. In particular, the optimum planning tools exploit the available radiopropagation models implemented to take into account the different features of current scenarios. Tabu Search methods appear as robust and viable tools for this purpose.
