Edge server placement problem based on communication viewshed

Key Points

• Enhanced edge server placement can significantly reduce latency when correctly aligned with the communication viewshed.
• Improving communication viewshed allows a potential reduction in data traffic by optimizing server locations for better reach.
• The approach utilizes network optimization techniques to inform server placement decisions based on their communication reach.
• Findings imply that strategically placing edge servers can lead to more efficient data transmission and resource utilization.
