Abstract:
A backhaul network comprises at least two of a distribution point, a splitter, an amplifier, a coupler and an optical network for use within the backhaul network. Predetermined locations are selected for the at least two of the distribution point, the splitter, the amplifier, the coupler and the optical network within the backhaul network based upon a constrained optimization process that reduces cost and improves backhaul network reliability. Each of the at least two of the distribution point, the splitter, the amplifier, the coupler and the optical network are located at one of the predetermined locations from the constrained optimization process.

Claim (Index 29):
A method for generating a backhaul network, comprising:\n providing at least two of a distribution point, a splitter, an amplifier, a coupler and an optical network for use within a backhaul network; establishing a utility function defining a placement of predetermined locations of the components for the backhaul network; establishing constraint variables defining the placement of the predetermined location of the components of the backhaul network; generating a constrained optimization equation based upon the established utility function and the established constraint variables; performing the constrained optimization process that reduces cost and improves the backhaul network reliability using the constrained optimization equation defined by the established utility function and the established constraint variables; selecting predetermined locations for the at least two of the distribution point, the splitter, the amplifier, the coupler and the optical network within the backhaul network based upon the constrained optimization process; and configuring the backhaul network by locating the at least two of the distribution point, the splitter, the amplifier, the coupler and the optical network within the backhaul network at the selected predetermined locations, wherein each of the at least two of the distribution point, the splitter, the amplifier, the coupler and the optical network are located at one of the predetermined locations.
