Claim Text:
1. A method of selecting an optimal cell size in a wireless communication network comprising of a planning module and a plurality of base transceiver stations, said method comprising: said planning module calculating power consumption of said wireless communication network as a function of a plurality of parameters, wherein the parameters are based at least on noisy channel communication, radio signal propagation, and cellular base station architecture; said planning module calculating an optimal cell radius, wherein said optimal cell radius depends on at least one of users served by said wireless communication network; traffic variation over a period of time in said wireless communication network; power consumption of said Base Transceiver Stations; and types of service offered by said wireless communication network; and said planning module calculating a set of cell radii based on said optimal cell radius, wherein said cell radii minimizes power consumption over the same traffic variation in said wireless communication network.
