In the design and/or construction of a wireless communication system, a parameter optimization determination is performed. Such determination is accomplished by first clustering parameters with strong interdependence. In a second operations a subset of the clustered parameters are removed from consideration by imposing constraints on the system and/or on the parameters to yield a similar system determination problem. In a third operation, parameters remaining after the second operation are optimized for a chosen performance metric. Finally, parameters removed in the second operation are optimized for a chosen performance metric with the parameters optimized in the third operation, set to an optimized value determined in the third operation.
