Network Design

Wireless Network Design
Our RF engineers design wireless systems to meet customer's coverage, capacity and performance
requirements.

Project Plan and Network Cellplan Revision
- Determine network objectives and establish project plan
- Create the Link budget with the assumptions provided by customer
- Review network cellplan based on system coverage objective
- Traffic demand for each market

Preliminary RF System Design
- Work with customer and project management, GIS, fixed network support, site acquisition, construction
management, equipment installation and operations teams to ensure all requirements are met.
- Preliminary coverage design and cell layout
- Frequency planning
- Develop comprehensive RF system design based on design criteria and assumptions proposed by
customer and reviewed by our team.
- Perform drive testing to provide data for propagation model tuning and coverage verification.
- Perform model tuning per morphology. Drive test will be conducted for at least 20% of the sites.
- Present preliminary design review and make changes as required by customer.
- Issue search rings showing the detailed map.
- Formal Preliminary Design Review with customer.

Drive Testing:
- Drive/Walk Testing
- Pre/Post Launch
- Site Verification
- Cluster verification/acceptance
- Carrier Wave (CW)
- Benchmarking
- Indoor Assessment/Survey
- Optimization drive testing
- Shakedown testing
- Baseline drive test
- Device verification

Final RF System Design

- Formal Preliminary Design Review with customer.
- Candidate evaluation.
- Perform frequency planning and interference analysis based on final site location.
- Prepare final plots identifying coverage objectives, interference levels and physical maps (BSC, MSC)
- Support filing of applicable Aviation and other governing agency documentation related to utilization of radio frequencies
- Perform antenna system audit, antenna system sweeps, and site-grounding audit
- Typical deliverables:
o System coverage and Interference plots
o System Frequency and Capacity plans
o System Morphology plot
o Handoff zones
o Cell site Configuration
- Typical Final System Design Report:
o Drive test results (model tuning, plots and analysis)
o Frequency Plan and Capacity analysis results
o RF recommendation for the network
o Handoff zones
o Cell site Configuration
