1 if user m is directly allocated to access point n, 0 otherwise

1 if access point n is used, 0 otherwise
1 if frequency band f is bought, 0 otherwise
1 if access point n uses energy level l, 0 otherwise
1 if access point n is assigned to frequency band f, 0 otherwise
1 if user m is directly allocated to access point n and frequency level

Objective Function
*(

)+

To get the Objective Function we need to:

1) Get the Cost

2) Get the Signal Power:

) (

3) Get the Interference Power:

) (

4) Get the Signal TO Noise Ratio for each user m:

5) Get the rate of a given user using he Shannon limit:

6) Substitute in the objective function:

*(

)+

Constraints
o Each access point can support a maximum of K users:

* +

o Each user should be connected to only one access point:

* +

o Each access point can be assigned only one frequency band:

* +
