In this paper we consider the problem of constructing ATM layouts for wireless networks in which mobile users can move along a chain of base stations. We first show that deciding the existence of a layout with maximum hop count h , load l and channel distance d is NP-complete for every fixed value of d greater or equal to 1 . We then provide optimal layout constructions for the case d ≤ 2 . Finally, optimal layout constructions are obtained also for any d within the class of the so-called canonic layouts, that so far have always been shown to be the optimal ones.
