RF Planning & Design

Radio network planning comprises of radio network dimensioning, planning of the coverage, capacity, and frequency allocation and interference analysis. Moreover it includes detailed planning, which concentrate on parameter planning with necessary field measurement.

RF Cell Planning

• Initial dimensioning of the radio network
• CW Propagation model tuning
• Candidate identification & nominal planning
• Technical site surveys

Capacity Planning

• Coverage and capacity planning and analysis
• Addition of new cell sites
• Upgrade of existing cell sites
• Signaling/SDCCH dimensioning
• Additional spectrum use
• Traffic Management

Frequency Planning

• Static frequency allocation
• Frequency hopping (RF hopping or Baseband hopping)
• Frequency and neighbors planning
• Hierarchical Cell structure

RF Optimization

High quality of service in mobile networks is the prerequisite for the commercial success. Continuous optimization is a process, which focuses on checking the network quality continuously and takes actions when needed. It is a more constant way of maintaining good quality in the network, especially when the mobile networks are changing rapidly and more and more customers are being served.

• Parameter Configuration Check (OMC Audit)
• Traffic and throughput analysis
• Parameter planning and optimization
• Dropped call analysis
• Handover success analysis
• Drive test analysis
• Interference analysis
• Field measurements and acceptance testing
• Frequency & Strategy Planning
• Top N Site Targeting

Drive Testing and Benchmarking

Voice and Data Optimization: we use all available sources of data to optimize and manage wireless networks.

Some of the data sources are:

• Drive test data,
• Layer 2/3 analysis,
• Neighbor-list/frequency planning and parameters tuning,
• Using daily and BBH KPI analysis,
• Call detail logs (CDL/PCMD) analysis
• Capacity, traffic, and handoff reports
• Reverse link analysis
• Neighbor list prioritization
• RF site integration through single cell functionality testing (Shakedown/Sector testing)
• Cluster drive testing using short and long calls
• Competitive analysis & benchmarking
