Planning methods
• Preparation phase.
– Defining coverage and capacity objectives.
– Selection of network planning strategies.
– Initial design and operation parameters.
• Initial dimensioning.
– First and most rapid evaluation of the network elements count and capacity of these elements.
– Offered traffic estimation.
– Joint capacity coverage estimation.
• Detailed planning.
– Detailed coverage capacity estimation.
– Iterative coverage analysis.
– Planning for codes and powers.
• Optimisation.
– Setting the parameters.
• Soft handover.
• Power control.
• Verification of the static simulator with the dynamic simulator.
– Test of the static simulator with simulator where the users actual movements are modelled.
