Examples of Multiple Criteria Ranking in Design of Cellular Networks of Mobile Telecommunication

Abstract

This paper addresses the planning and design of contemporary networks of mobile telecommunication where an existing network is subject to far-reaching development and modification and, thus, an evolution with diverse requirements of users and a diverse density of network cells. This leads to considering the diverse variants of network designs. When several variants of network designs are available, an investor might ask for a ranking of these variants. The investor is obviously not bound by the results of such a ranking and might select a variant that is not the highest in the ranking, but an objectified ranking might help in the selection. Therefore, the paper presents a way of computing and examples of ranking objectified multiple criteria and (if possible) not requiring the determination of weighting coefficients.

Examples of Objectified Multiple Criteria Ranking in the Selection of Infrastructural Projects

“…q K j ), there is no j ∈ J such that q j ≥ q j * , q j = q j * . In the objectified ranking method, see [5], [6] for more details, reference point approach is used while aspiration and reservation levels a k and r k are determined by the following equation. The assumption is made that the corresponding criterion k is maximized.…”
