    LTE Planning Process

     Planning performs a detailed study of LTE network infrastructure using prediction tools,
    propagation and management of databases specific geographic data.
     Defines the coverage plans frequencies
     Determines a search site and equipment specifications for each site.
     It is related to those responsible for site search and manufacturers to validate its technical
    options depending on the possibilities of equipment

    LTE Planning Process

     The radio Network planning Process is designed:


    • To maximize the network coverage
    • To provide the desired capacity

    It is composed of three steps:


    15

    LTE Planning Process

    Initial Planning
     The goal is to assess the minimum density of sites to meet requirements.
     This stage required the gathering of information such as:
    • The desired Coverage Area (Dense Urban, Urban, Suburban)
    • Quality Objective (QoS Criteria)
    • Capacity/Coverage Requirement
    (Subscriber, traffic model,…)
    • The range of services to be provided

    Detailed Planning
    It uses the information gathered form the dimensioning stage to provide a effective detailed
    planning.

    LTE Planning Process


    Optimization
    • This Process is fundamentally based on network analysis.
    • It includes the gathering of statistics and measurement results from the network
    management system.
    • It allows the provider to make the corrections and adjustments to
    the network.

    What does LTE offer to Organization?
    23
    Business Benefits
    24

    How has 4G benefited your organisation?

     A survey of business users identifies high satisfaction among


    adopters of 4G LTE and they report a wide range of benefits.

     The survey also revealed that :Sales (typically one of the most
    mobility-dependent functions) benefits most from LTE.

    57% of respondents selected Sales as the main beneficiary,


    followed by Customer Services (40%), Operations (39%) and
    Marketing (28%). Unsurprisingly, the more office-based functions
    (such as Finance, HR and Legal) benefit least, due to their lower
    need for mobility.

    LTE Coverage Requirement


    Fragmentation of LTE Spectrum Bands 30
    31

    Spectrum Challenges

    • A lower spectrum band (e.g. 1800MHz) provides better indoor signal strength and travels further
    compared to one of a higher spectrum band (e.g. 2600MHz). However, the higher spectrum bands
    are better suited for covering densely-populated areas and managing heavy data volumes due to
    their larger bandwidth.

    • The lower frequency spectrums are more affordable to build and signals travel further, whereas
    higher frequency spectrums require a lot of base stations to cover a similar distance. This could
    very well be another possible reason why different Telco's around the world use different spectrum
    bands, besides the obvious fact that they are also limited by the availability of these bands.
    Building a New or Converged Network 32
    How operators build up the network?
    33

    New Network -Some operators will build a completely new 4G network along the existing networks.

    Converged Network - Other Telco's operators will create a converged network, where they try to make the
    different generations of technologies work together.

    In both cases, the process is highly complex and cost intensive. The transition to 4G network will require
    new radio access technology and core network expansion, while maintaining existing 2G/3G networks
    alongside the new 4G network will result in additional burden on telcos.
    How operators build up the network?
    34

    EXAMPLE:

    StarHub, is adopting a more cost-effective approach by refarming its 1800MHz GSM band to carry LTE
    services.

    Furthermore, it is also switching on its advanced DC-HSPA+ mobile network, which will see its current
    3G downlink speed doubled up to 42Mbps to maintain an optimal user experience and improve the
    quality of mobile data service.
    35

    Small Cells demand

    Femto Cells:

    Femto BTS are intended for the use at home, or in small offices.
    Their transmit power does not exceed 0.1 W so they need to be
    used in areas where coverage from other BTS is relatively weak
    e.g indoors.

    Micro cells/Pico cells :

    Micro BTS are designed to provide coverage and capacity across


    small areas. Their transmit power does not exceed 10 W so their
    antenna needs to be close to the source of traffic.
    36

    LTE Capacity Requirement


    37
    Deployment Trend
    38

     50 LTE committed operators at the end of


    2015.

     Long term HSPA evolution as alternative.

     Currently more than 15 LTE networks in


    commercial operations.

    43

    Control Use Of Resources


    Mapping applications to LTE QoS classes (QCIs): The 3GPP View

    • The PGW maps traffic onto EPC bearers (associated with QCIs) which are mapped onto DiffServ Classes; re-
    marks packets’ IP header to reflect priorities as close as possible.
    • During congestion, core and backhaul routers drop packets according to DSCP.
