This paper reports an investigation into the use of combinatorial optimisation techniques in the design of wireless communication systems. The formulation of an optimisation strategy appropriate to wireless indoor communication system design is identified. A simple single-floor test problem is proposed and investigated to illustrate the feasibility of the approach. Results show that the optimisation strategy is capable of delivering meaningful solutions with an appropriate balance between system performance and cost. A number of issues (such as the formulation of cost function and optimisation strategy) are identified which will require additional research in order to realise a planning tool useable by system planners.
