Network Planning Overview 4G

For 4G systems, or OFDMA

base systems, coverage is
limited by the maximum Project Setup
Network Requirements
allowable pathloss for a given
tone.
Achievable peak data rate is Dimensioning
limited by the bandwidth Nominal Design
available and interference.
Achievable capacity is limited Site Survey
by the available bandwidth and
interference.
Both interference management
and frequency planning should Design for Design for
Coverage Capacity
be done.
Interference management:
Increase the geometry
available. Network Deployment
Frequency planning: Tradeoff
between achievable peak data
rate and system loading Initial Optimization
(capacity).
