Abstract
Deploying relays and/or base stations is a major means of extending the coverage of a wireless network. This paper presents models, analytical results, and algorithms to answer two related questions: The first is where to deploy relays to extend the reach from a base station to the maximum, and the second is where to deploy a base station and how many relays are needed to reach any point in a given area. An important use case of the results is the public safety broadband network, in which deploying relays and base stations is often crucial to providing coverage to an incident scene.
