Through the estimation, to perform a quantitative analysis and know the construction scale. Thus, the construction period and cost budget can be worked out.
Scenario division and transmit model confirmation Quality of the capacity of scenarios coverage Traffic model and service model Other related parameters Estimation tool software Related guide

Attention:

When the parameters cannot be typed, refer to the company planning principle to provide values for the carrier to confirm For improper parameters, communicate with and guide the carrier on site. Besides, notify the customer service center and market of the regional office. The result need to be reviewed.

Testing Electromagnetic Background (Optional)

To make sure that the electromagnetic background of the selected site is available, you need to test on site by using electromagnetic interference device. Generally, the network planning reconnaissance personnel test it.
Attention:
For experiment network of large scale, you can select and test sites based

Based on the previous information, you need to emulate the system of the reconnoitered site. The emulation is a process to adjust the planning configuration to meet the needs of the customers.

Attention:
When the theoretical site do not Project parameter table meet the requirements, you need to Transmit model determine whether to select a new site. Parameters needed in emulation When the emulation does not meet the needs of the customer.

Case Analysis
A carrier bided for setting up a new radio network. Our company received the

bidding on Sep.24, and asked to on Oct.2. The market personnel sent the to a network planning pre-sales engineer on Sep.29 and required them to complete the pre-planning and post-planning of the network based on the bidding. The pre-sales engineer found out that the traffic model condition and network quality requirements are not clear. Besides, the on-site market personnel cannot provide the correct information about the local geographical environment, economy, population, mobile market, customer and market strategy. The pre-sales engineer finished the base station estimation and network planning construction suggestions on Oct.2. The engineer made the estimation of 45 base stations in the first period and 80 base stations in the second period for the market to quote. The market personnel denied the estimation and thought that the estimations do not accord with the actual situation because the number of the base stations are too many, the pressure of the service is heavy and the customers do not accept the estimation. Besides, the estimation does not adapt to the economy development of the country and the actual situation of the customers is not taken into account. The technical suggestions had not embody the network planning scheme.
