    1. The document discusses planning for radio coverage and capacity in cellular networks. It covers topics like coverage planning using propagation models, communication probability, traffic load modeling, and grade of service. 2. It also provides a case study example of estimating the number of base stations required to cover a given area based on coverage parameters. 3. Finally, it discusses capacity planning methodology including estimating traffic load per site, configuring channels per cell based on traffic, and balancing coverage with capacity.

    Case
    A local network will be constructed. After two years, the number
    of subscribers may attain 100,000. Provide that the traffic per subscriber is 0.02Erl, 120 BTSs are required, and the call loss rate is 2%.

    Useful information Subscriber quantity: 100,000 Call loss rate: 2% Traffic model: 0.015Erl Number of BTSs: 120

    Case

    Roaming factor (traffic and developing trend): 10%; dynamic factor (burst traffic): 15% Network capacity: 100,000(1+10%+15%)=125,000 In terms of congestion, use 85% to calculate the bearer capability for traffic. Thus, the design capacity of network is: 125,000/(85%)=147100, that is 150,000 approximately.

    According to the provided traffic model, that is average 0.015Erl traffic, forecast the busy-hour traffic of the whole network: 150000 0.015=2250Erl.

    The average traffic per BTS is: 2250/120=18.75Erl, average traffic per cell:
    18.75/3=6.25Erl. Based on 2% call loss rate, query the Erlang-B to find the number of voice channels: 12channels/every cell

    The number of control channels: 14 channels/every cell, 2TRX/every cell
