Abstract

The global COVID-19 pandemic leads people to intermittent quarantines and lockdowns. Many large and crowded gatherings were postponed or even cancelled to prevent social distance violation. The paper aims to tackle the placement problem of macro sites, microcells and picocells under a restricted network topology. The cell placement problem is defined based on linear programming. The algorithm named Cost Efficiency algorithm is proposed to construct a network with higher performance and lower cost. Simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm yields higher SINR value and more number of served users over construction cost compared with other planning algorithms. The result of this work is expected to help users have better network service quality when they are isolated in hospital or self-health monitoring at home.
