Technical Matters: Plan, Design and Dimension the Network

REQUIREMENTS & TECHNICAL FACTORS
VENUE & AUDIENCE
Single operator VS Neutral host
Seating capacity
Operators / Freq. Bands / Protocols
Areas to cover / not to cover:

Field?
VIP boxes
Back office areas
Surroundings (macro / outdoor)

Validate intermod issues
Market share per operator

SISO or MIMO
Usage patterns of operators-users
Equipment rooms

IDENTIFY HANDOVER ZONES

from the outside to
the inside of
stadium
Entrances

main bowl
Signal coming from Macro
Indoor system
coverage needs to
be the best server

VALIDATE CAPACITY NEEDS

number of sectors required

HYBRID STRUCTURE SECTORIZATION
Designing
HOW TO ACHIEVE SECTORS
Coverage from omni may be
excessive, leaking too much
power outside of stadium
Reducing power may fix the

leakage problem but some
areas may now be not properly
covered (bowl)
12/13/2011
Page 32
The use of directional

antennas can also be a
solution for leakage in this
case, providing coverage to
the bowl
Designing
In some cases we can also

use low power radiating
cable in the seating area

In Conclusion
Stadiums are high

profile venues where
operators can
generate substantial
revenues
Stadiums are one of

the most challenging
environments to
design for wireless BB
