In this paper, the efficient 3D placement of UAV as an aerial base station in providing wireless coverage for users in a small and large coverage area is investigated. In the case of providing wireless coverage for outdoor and indoor users in a small area, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and K-means with Ternary Search (KTS) algorithms are invoked to find an efficient 3D location of a single UAV with the objective of minimizing its required transmit power. It was observed that a single UAV at the 3D location found using the PSO algorithm requires less transmit power, by a factor of 1/5 compared to that when using the KTS algorithm. In the case of providing wireless coverage for users in three different shapes of a large coverage area, namely square, rectangle and circular regions, the problems of finding an efficient placement of multiple UAVs equipped with a directional antenna are formulated with the objective to maximize the coverage area and coverage density using the Circle Packing Theory (CPT). Then, the UAV efficient altitude placement is formulated with the objective of minimizing its required transmit power. It is observed that the large number of UAVs does not necessarily result in the maximum coverage density. Based on the simulation results, the deployment of 16, 19 and 26 UAVs is capable of providing the maximum coverage density of 78.5%, 82.5% and 80.3% for the case of a square region with the dimensions of 2 km × 2 km, a rectangle region with the dimensions of 6 km × 1.8 km and a circular region with the radius of 1.125 km, respectively. These observations are obtained when the UAVs are located at the optimum altitude, where the required transmit power for each UAV is reasonably small.

There are different communication standards in present mobile communication industry. Each of this standards has its own feature, architecture, and channel assignment strategies. Each mobile operator uses one of any standard and their aim is to support as much user as possible to communicate with tolerable interference. For that reason they use different cluster size and frequency planning to cover entire geographical area. To reuse the given bandwidth within the entire geographical area some cells uses same sets of frequency and interference arise when the distance between these cells is small. Also when distance is large then capacity is going low. In this thesis our work is to investigation the co channel interference among different cluster size assuming a limited sub urban geographical area in a cellular GSM network. Also we calculate the number of users using each of this cluster size and finally design a cellular system in this geographical area using best results (minimum interference and maximum capacity).

Location Hospital and Health Center in Bandar Lampung and the District Pesawaran not currently mapped by conventional or digital. And there is no data base that provides information about the location and distribution of hospitals and health centers in Bandar Lampung City, and the uneven number of health facilities to ensure the availability of health services for all citizens, by optimizing existing health care facilities. Contributions utilization of spatial studies in the health field is used for mapping and modeling of health in order to facilitate access, provision of efficiency and planning of health services in order to take policy related to determining the location of health facilities. The research method uses spatial model approach with descriptive research type and analysis through the use of Huff Model. The results of the regionization shows the coverage area of hospital services serving 33 points in the District Pesawaran and 24 point Population in Bandar Lampung with the spread of regionization is divided into 3 regions. Keywords: Health Service, Regionalization
