abstract = {The massive deployment of Small Cells (SCs) is increasingly being adopted by mobile
operators to face the exponentially growing traffic demand. Using the millimeter-wave (mmWave)
band in the access and backhaul networks will be key to provide the capacity that meets such demand.
However, dimensioning and planning have become complex tasks, because the capacity requirements
for mmWave links can significantly vary with the SC location. In this work, we address the problem
of SC planning considering the backhaul constraints, assuming that a line-of-sight (LOS) between
the nodes is required to reliably support the traffic demand. Such a LOS condition reduces the set
of potential site locations. Simulation results show that, under certain conditions, the proposed
algorithm is effective in finding solutions and strongly efficient in computational cost when compared
to exhaustive search approaches.},
