One of the primary aims of radio network planning is to place and configure the transmit
antennas of the base stations such that the deployment achieves the required quality of …

Base station is the main network element in cellular networks deployment. The vast area of
placement, position variation and number of users and environmental factors spawned a …

We address the problem of small cell deployment planning in LTE networks. The wireless
network is modeled with multiple heterogeneities such as hotspots in the mobile user …

This paper deals with optimal planning and design for cellular mobile communication
systems. The key element to be considered for the planning is cost. A hierarchical planning …

Inappropriate parameters and antenna problems will result in abnormal coverage
performance of LTE networks. In order to deal with the problems mentioned above and …

Cellular network design is a very large and complex combinatorial optimization problem. It
consists of antenna location and parameters settings. Until now, the design is done using …

This work presents a combined coverage and capacity optimisation methodology for
automatic cell planning of UMTS networks. In certain cases, coverage and capacity are …

In the design of radio networks, the problem of cellular planning is of critical importance. The
present paper addresses the problem of determining the minimum number of base stations …

Over the recent years, few books have been published covering all the subjects needed to
understand the very fundamental concepts of cell planning. Most books which deal with this …

The paper aims at answering the question of how local a UMTS network optimization
problem should be defined in order to guarantee an effective optimization by an automatic …
