A　cellular　network　is　widely　used　for　transmitting　text　(i.e.,　alphanumeric)　messages　between　subscribers　from　different　geographical　locations.　The　geographic　area　of　a　cellular　network　is　divided　into　a　large　number　of　cells,　which　are　served　by　at　least　one　facilities　from　base　stations　among　predetermined　positions.　Both　reliability　and　cost　of　a　cellular　network　depend　on　the　number,　location　and　failure　rate　of　facilities　in　the　base　stations.　Thus,　the　joint　optimization　of　facility　allocation　and　maintenance　strategy　in　a　cellular　network　is　relevant　and　significant　for　guiding　optimal　decisions　on　cellular　network　planning.　This　paper　models　a　cellular　network　with　repairable　facilities　characterized　by　a　two-parameter　Weibull　distribution.The　objective　is　to　jointly　optimize　the　facility　allocation　among　predetermined　positions　and　the　facilities　maintenance　strategy　in　order　to　minimize　the　expected　life　cycle　cost　of　the　cellular　network.　An　optimization　algorithm　for　the　proposed　model　is　given　based　on　heuristic　algorithm　and　simulation.　A　case　study　is　presented　to　illustrate　the　application　of　the　proposed　model,　and　sensitivity　analysis　shows　the　relationship　between　the　optimal　preventive　replacement　interval　and　the　ratio　of　the　preventive　replacement　cost　to　the　minimal　repair　cost.
