Abstract:
Indoor Radio network planning has been a long-standing problem since the very
starting commercialization and business of indoor mobile communications sys tem ,of which power coverage and capacity coverage are the two major objec tives.Indoor RNP of a new Radio interface such as Small cell LTE needs new tools
and competencies.The introduction of pico cell and femto cell driven small cell
technology and comparison of pico cell and femto cell, in small cell technology
,makes network planning challenging.
In this work,coverage and capacity estimation of pico cell and femto cell network
was performed for future network deployment.Our designed network femto cell
were improved by 12.23% and pico cell by 9.06%.Femto cell network coverage
and capacity is best as compared to pico cell network .In the case of coverage
planning,Radio link budget together with important link level simulations was
performed to determine path loss.Comparison of path loss models were used to
select the best model.
A COST Multiwall winprop path loss model was used to determine the cell radius
per morphology.For capacity evaluation,data rate,throughput analysis,and impor tant system level simulations was performed to know subscribers supported per
site.Cell edge throughput and Receiver Sensitivity was determined as the measure
of performance and effectiveness for capacity analysis.
Finally,coverage target number of sites,capacity target number of sites,and the fi nal limiting site count was determined.
