TEL7208 Coursework Assignment Questions

The document contains instructions for a radio network planning and optimization course assignment with three questions. Question 1 asks to predict three candidate locations to improve coverage and suggest antenna directions. Question 2 tasks planning network requirements to handle 1 million pilgrims at an annual event based on past traffic data. Question 3 explains the significance of RF path components, characteristics determining antenna choice for different environments, and provides a remedial plan to achieve a lower 2G dropped call ratio target in one region.

TEL7208: RADIO NETWORK PLANNING AND OPTIMIZATION

COURSE WORK ASSIGNMENT.


Instructions: Attempt all questions.
Timeline for handing in assignment is 18th November 2021

Question 1
In planning for any radio system upgrade, expansion or replacement, the first set of priorities
often involves improvements in coverage; it may be the only priority. These coverage
predictions are invaluable for the assessment and selection of optimum site locations and
equipment configurations. Using google earth tool, predict three possible candidate locations
where a site can be located to improve network coverage at Bwizibwera TC (-0.439979°,
30.574369°). Suggest the possible azimuth directions for the antennas at each location and
give reasons to justify the selection and priority of the selected candidate locations.
Question 2
On the third of June each year, the people of Uganda joined by other pilgrims from different
parts of the world celebrate the feast of ST. Charles Lwanga and companions which is known
also known as Martyrs’ day. 700000 pilgrims graced the 2021 event and the table below
shows the traffic carried

(Erlang) (MBs) (Erlang) (MBs) (MBs)
18,000 60,000 4,500 1,800,000 700,000
In your position as a radio planning and optimization engineer, you have been assigned the
task of planning the 2022 event which is expected to receive at least 1,000,000 pilgrims.
Provide the action plan with your requirements to achieve the best customer experience for
the pilgrims in 2022.
Question 3
a) Explain the significance of the components along the RF path
b) Describe the characteristics that determine the choice of RF antenna to be used for a
particular environment with emphasis to the cases below:
i) Stadium hosting national prayers
ii) Market place with long narrow corridors like Kikuubo down town Kampala
iii) Parliamentary chambers indoor offices
iv) Rural area coverage in Karamoja
c) Currently the 2G Dropped Call Ratio (DCR) for the Western region stands at 0.6%
yet the airtel Uganda target is 0.42%. Provide a remedial plan to achieve the 2G DCR
target for the region.
