+===== -- Output at a Glance =====
+The output of the automation tool consists of three files:
+  * A command file ''75014_ORANGE_4G_antenna_coordinates.m'' that contains the coordinates of the antennas. You can simply load this file in MATLAB for your simulations.
+  * A figure plot of the antenna positions ''75014-ORANGE-4G-antenna-map.png''.
+  * A figure plot of the Voronoi diagram (the set of points in the geographic area closer to each antenna) ''75014-ORANGE-4G-voronoi-map.png''.

+===== -- Scientific Work =====
+We used the antenna positions generated by the automation tool in our work entitled ''Joint Power-Delay Minimization in 4G Wireless Networks'' (by Farah Moety, Samer Lahoud, Bernard Cousin, and Kinda Khawam), published in the proceedings of the Wireless Days conference (WD'14) in 2014. In this scientific work, we propose an algorithm that aims to compute the transmit power level of the network Base Stations (BSs) and associate users with these BSs. The algorithm aims to jointly minimise the total network power and the total network delay. In the following figure, we show the coverage area of each BS when transmitting at the lowest power level.
