Base station allocation support apparatus, base station allocation support method and program

A base station allocation support method executed by a computer, the base station allocation support method comprising:

• calculating radio wave propagation attenuation values between a plurality of wireless terminals in an area based on position information of each of the plurality of wireless terminals and information indicating a layout of the area;
• performing clustering on the plurality of wireless terminals based on the radio wave propagation attenuation values;
• and
• determining an arrangement position of a wireless base station with respect to the wireless terminals based on a result of the clustering, wherein the arrangement position is a point of a plurality of points, the plurality of points comprises a center of gravity point of a cluster of a plurality of clusters according to the performed clustering and a plurality of surrounding points of the cluster as extracted based on the center of gravity point of the cluster.

A base station allocation support apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing program instructions that cause the processor to:
• calculate radio wave propagation attenuation values of radio wave propagation among a plurality of wireless terminals in an area, wherein the radio wave propagation attenuation values are based on position information of each wireless terminal of the plurality of wireless terminals and information indicating a layout of the area, and the plurality of wireless terminals satisfies a predetermined condition of physical distances among the plurality of wireless terminals;
• perform clustering on the plurality of wireless terminals based on the radio wave propagation attenuation values;
• and
• determine an allocation position of a wireless base station with respect to the wireless terminals based on a result of the clustering.
