Planning point-to-multipoint rural radio access networks using expert systems

摘要

The goal of this research work was to explore the rural telecommunications environment and develop software to automate the planning of wireless access networks in rural areas. This paper presents the application of an expert system for the planning of point-to-multipoint radio access networks. The system was developed using the C Language Integrated Production System environment. It uses the object oriented and rule-based paradigms for knowledge representation and the planning process.
