Definition and Range of Network Planning

Definition of Network Planning

According to the network construction target, network evolution requirements, and cost requirements, select proper NEs to perform planning, output the number of NEs, NE configuration, and determine the connection modes of NEs. The network planning serves as the basis of project implementation.
Range of Network Planning

Planning of core network: Focus on the number of NEs for the NSS/CN and the planning of configuration. Planning of wireless network: Focus on the number of NEs for the BSS/RAN and the planning of configuration. Planning of transport network: Focus on the requirements for links between NEs and the planning of connection mode.

Importance of Wireless Network Planning

Importance

During the construction of mobile communication network, costs mainly come from the equipment investments. The mobile network comprises RAN, transport network, and CN. Among the investments in the mobile network, the investments in RAN takes 70%. The scale of investments in the RAN depends on the number and type of sites in the network, which are determined by the wireless network planning.

Problems

How to plan a wireless network with high quality, low cost, and strong competitiveness?

Concept of Wireless Network Planning

Lowest Cost

The construction of wireless network accompanies the whole lifecycle of the network. During the network planning, consider the later development requirements to reduce the construction costs. For example, the costs increase as sites are increased in downtown areas. To reduce the costs, make a proper policy to limit the spacing between sites.
Best Coverage

The wireless network includes extensive services, so network resources should be allocated between services. Determine the coverage quality requirements and perform planning for the cell radius and coverage schemes. If the initial planning is based on the target of high-speed data service, many resources will be wasted because of shortage of services.

Concept of Wireless Network Planning

Maximum Capacity

The capacity of wireless network is limited by interferences and frequency resources. Through proper parameter planning (such as handover, power control, and resource management algorithm) and frequency planning, the intra-cell and inter-cell interferences can be reduced and the cell capacity can be improved.
Best Quality

Core services (such as high-speed data service) indicate services that have long-term influences on the network development. Core services may be unprofitable in a short term, but core services can lead subscribers and the service development. In areas provided with core services, ensure that the quality of the core services are optimized.

Concept of Network Optimization

Collect parameters and analyze data for the network in

operation or the network to be operated in order to find out factors that influence the network operation quality. In addition, achieve the following through parameter adjustment and technical means: The network has the optimal allowed status. The existing network resources have best benefits. Put forward proper suggestions for future network maintenance and planning.

Importance of Wireless Network Optimization

The mobile communication network mainly includes the transport network and the wireless network. Owing to the mobility of subscribers and the complexity of electric wave transmission, problems often occur at the wireless network and thus affect the service quality of the entire mobile communication network. The optimization of wireless network is the core of the mobile network optimization.

Time of Wireless Network Optimization

Perform wireless network optimization in the following situations:

1) After the official network operation or network expansion 2) If the network quality sharply reduces or many complaints are received 3) If sudden events have great impact on the network quality 4) If the change in user group has great impact on the network quality
