RF Planning and Design
Achieving maximum capacity while maintaining an acceptable GoS and good speech quality is the main aim of RF Planning. We have expertise in ;
- Radio network dimensioning
- Coverage Planning
- Capacity Planning
- Frequency allocation
- Interference analysis & recommendation
- Coverage prediction plotting
- Parameter planning
RF Optimisation
RF Optimization is one of the key challenges in any Cellular Network. Optimization is a continuous process and helps in understanding the shortcomings in mobile coverage and quality. Optimization helps to improve the spectral efficiency and provide better Quality of Services to the mobile customers:
We offer high level analysis of radio network parameters and provide round-the-clock cell performance monitoring. KPI improvement is provided in a short period with Sopanam’s highly skilled professionals for each BSC / RNC /Cluster / Network
The methodology of radio network KPI optimization services includes:
- Cluster/Route drive test report and recommendation for improvement
- Radio network modification report
- 24 hrs Network performance monitoring
- BSC/RNC/ Cluster based analysis
- Cell/BSC/ RNC based parameters, Cell configuration analysis and changes
- Radio Network capacity utilization analysis and re-dimensioning
- Daily/Weekly/monthly network KPI trend report (Call Drop Rate, CSSR, HO SR, IRAT-SR, EDGE/HSDPA throughput, etc.)
- Parameter fine-tuning
- Defining missing neighbour relations
- Proposing new sites or sector additions with pre-post of coverage plots
- Proposing antenna tilt & azimuth changes
- Antennae height increase / reduction
- Proposing antenna type changes
- BTS Equipment/Filter change
- Re–tuning of interfered frequencies
- Weekly customer complain analysis & action plan for improvement
