8.2 General
RF PLANNING
RFP is an optimization process with different stages from rough calculations and sketches to detailed network plans. It is a continuous process as well, since a close follow-up of the network is needed during the network development and expansion. The objective of RFP is to fulfil the network operator's requirements for coverage, capacity and quality at a minimum cost. The planning strategy in different network regions depends on the dominating factor, which can be coverage or capacity. In case of very high capacity spots the micro cellular approach (two-layer network structures) should be considered before the conventional means are completely exhausted.
8.3
Requirements
The customer provides the requirements for the network design. These requirements and their impact to the network design are discussed with the customer. The requirements usually include coverage, quality rollout and equipment requirements as well as network traffic growth estimates.
8.4
Initial Design
The purpose of the initial design is to provide an initial coverage plan and a proposal of site locations. It thus provides necessary information for the site acquisition process. Initial design is based on modelling the actual propagation conditions and it is performed using computerized planning tools.

8.5.1 ACCEPTANCE AND SITE ACQUISITION
RF PLANNING
RF planning provides the customer the coverage options concerning available sites. The consequences of each choice are discussed, and the customer makes the final decision of the site.
8.6
Capacity Planning
The average cell capacity definition in terms of areas is given in initial design. Detailed capacity allocation is done using a planning tool. The traffic density information from a digital map is integrated over the primary service area of each cell and converted to number of traffic channels per cell. The cell capacity requirement is optimized by tuning the coverage patterns and handover parameters and using a network simulator. Output of this task will be a document listing the BTS configurations for each site: 1. 2. 3. 4. Antenna type, height, orientation and tilt # of sectors # of TRX per sector Channel configuration

8.9.1 REVIEW AND APPROVAL
RF PLANNING
The goal of this task is to set initial values for all BSS parameters of a PCS1900 system to reach good grade of service and network performance from the day network is launched for service.
Documents created in the RF Design process are reviewed and approved by the PS Manager or the Project Manager of the RF Design Project.
8.10
Customer Acceptance
Documents created in the RF Design process are delivered to the customer for acceptance.
8.11
Detail
There are several major activities in the RFP procedure when contents may differ slightly depending on the system, for example the parameter planning, but the overall scheme remains as given in Figure 1. More details could be found in /1/ and /2/. The Network Dimensioning and Network Optimization procedures are described in /3/ and /4/ respectively.
