Duration: 2 days onsite or 3 half days online.
Due to the system properties of LTE, the efficient basic planning process plays an important role for network quality and possible data rates. In addition, the constant coverage extension of the network and changing usage patterns require continuous optimisation and is an additional permanent challenge.
This course offers an introduction to the basics of radio network planning and its system and hardware dependencies. Additionally, possibilities for network optimisation are presented. Subjects such as planning and optimisation of coverage, capacity, and network IDs are explained.
After the course the participants will know about and understand the background of radio network planning. The participant will be able to make sound decisions for the possible usage of software tools. This course teaches knowledge and techniques which are relevant for planning and are independent of particular planning tools.
Requirements
Basic Planning Knowledge.
