Abstract

This paper addresses the competitive base stations location problem with sharing. Two mobile operators, the leader and the follower, compete to attract customers from a given market of high-speed internet connection. The leader acts first by placing a number of base stations, anticipating that the follower will react to the decision by creating his own network. The Leader can share BS cites with the follower operator, receiving a rent payment from him. We propose new model of realistic clients behavior, when the choice of the operator is made upon the average quality of service. We provide a formulation of this problem as a nonlinear integer programming problem. We propose a fast tabu search heuristic for this problem and provide some computational results.
