Coverage Planning and Analysis, Point - Multi Point Planning, Capacity Calculation and Frequency Planning

24. Capacity Planning
Traffic Distribution
• Area 1: Mainly outdoor meters, few buildings and many aggregators BT1
• approximately 12.3 thousand points
• Area 2: Mixed business and residential area, low buildings and few aggregators BT1
• approximately 13.6 thousand points
• Area 3: High density of high-rises and grouped meters, mainly underground
• approximately 19.2 thousand points

25. Comparison of Endpoints Attenuation
Survey and comparison of endpoint enclosures and encapsulation attennuation

26. Predictions
Indoor Meter Signal Level (Praia da Costa region)

27. Coverage issues
Considering additional endpoint losses:
Praia da Costa region has coverage
issues due to the density of high-rises.
Endpoints in this area required a
solution with outdoor antenna and/or
additional eNodeBs.
