 Nominal planning
• Target: Create a nominal plan
• Typical actions:
– Propagation model tuning
Link budget & capacity
– Nominal coverage planning with dimensioning
planning tool
 Based on coverage thresholds: Define thresholds from LiBu (*)
RSRP & CINR
– Capacity analysis Create detailed network plan (cells, antennas,
carriers) using LiBu thresholds
– Site surveys
– Site pre-validation
Perform capacity analysis to check network capacity
• (*) still open what will be the LiBu against more detailed traffic estimates
thresholds used. Atoll uses wideband
received power but it is possible to RSRP: Reference Signal Received Power
CINR: Carrier to Interference + Noise Ratio
convert it to RSRP. LiBu: Link Budget
