Description
Summary:The telecommunication industry in Jordan has become highly competitive which adds more pressure on service providers to operate more effectively in the manner of the quality of service without undermining the cost of the service. Selecting the optimal position of the telecommunication tower is one of the most important factors to ensure providing high-quality service at a minimum cost. However, selecting the right position for the tower is complicated and involves different factors such as population density, topology, and reserved area. Unfortunately, the current methods and techniques are not robust enough to ensure selecting the right position effectively, that makes the developing approaches imperative. This paper presents a comprehensive dynamic approach for selecting the optimal position of telecommunication towers; the approach integrates the most common selection factors, rules and the GIS system in a multi-phase process. The accuracy of the proposed approach is relatively high (82%), it is evaluated by comparing the recommended positions with the experts’ selection.
