WIRELESS
SYSTEMS PLANNING WITH CELPLANNER
Target
Audience
Engineers and technicians working with RF planning for cellular systems.
Pre-requirements
Basic knowledge of RF propagation and communication systems. Because
CelPlanner™
works on a PC platform, we recommend that students have previous knowledge
of Windows systems and Excel spreadsheets.
Goals
Use all CelPlanner™
Suite
powerful tools for wireless systems planning.
Course
Syllabus
The presentation of each menu is preceded by a theoretical explanation.
The project developed during the course will encompass the follow topics:
- Definition of
the service area;
- Definition of
the traffic demand distribution and of required service grade;
- Definition of
the technology adopted and frequency spectrum;
- Specification
of reuse factor and channeling;
- Preparation of
antennas, topography, morphology, and image databases;
- Creation of vector
elements to determine service area contour;
- Hexagons grid
creation and distribution of RBSs throughout the service area;
- Project management:
classification of RBSs in phases, areas, and flags;
- Definition of
propagation characteristics: prediction models calibration;
- Forward and reverse
links balancing;
- Signal level
prediction studies for different terminal classes;
- Calculation and
visualization of profile between site and subscriber terminal;
