This thesis is concerned with the channel deployment in the IMT-2000 CDMA system.
The system characteristics such as multiple classes of services, multiple kinds of channels with different bandwidths, overlaid cell structure, etc. are examined to make way for the problem definition.
The problem is formulated as a constrained optimization model, the objective of which is to consume as narrow bandwidth as possible while satisfying various multimedia demands with required QOSs. A solution algorithm is developed which generates two sets of optimal decisions: 1) which combination of service classes to assign to each cell, 2) which set of frequency channels of varying bandwidths to allocate to each cell.
The effectiveness of the proposed deployment policy is demonstrated via computational experiments.
