Further Information

This paper deals with the so called grouping problem which arises in telecommunication network optimization when transmission equipment with a certain hierarchy is used. It is shown how this problem is embedded in the complete scheme of network optimization and a general combinatorial model is developed to derive afterwards a solution procedure. The implementation of this procedure forms part of a software tool for the complete problem of transmission network planning. Some results deriving from practical examples and further extensions are indicated.
