System and method for planning telecommunications network for mobile terminals

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system and method for planning networks for mobile terminals that use a radio interface based on the Code Division Multiple Access or CDMA technique. More particularly, the system and method provide a step 500 whereby the Service Areas in these networks can be calculated using, as a reference, Domains calculated by means of a step 300 on the basis of real propagation models and taking a predetermined or estimated traffic into account on a pixel by pixel basis. In addition, the system and method make it possible to calculate the Macrodiversity Areas by means of a step 700, and thus to take the areas in which mobile terminals are capable of exchanging information with more than one radio base station into account at the planning step.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for planning a mobile terminal telecommunication network comprising a plurality of cells distributed over a specific geographical area or territory. [0002] More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for planning a network of third-generation UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) mobile terminals, which, as known, use access technology based on Code Division Multiple Access or CDMA wireless interface. Background technique [0003] Networks for mobile telecommunication terminals are known in the prior art. [0004] These networks are often referred to as cellular because they are characterized by a number of cells, each defined as a set of points or pixels in a geographic area served by radio signals radiated by antennas. [0005] Among the known cellular networks, the salient feature of the cellular network using CDMA access technology is that the same freq...

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, existing methods are practically usable only at the end of the planning process, since all parameters required for correct network planning are only considered in the last step 30

[0020] In addition, existing methods cannot provide information on the size of macrodiversity areas, even though these areas are particularly critical, because these macrodiversity areas must use more network equipment than is required by the actual traffic density, assuming that mobile terminals in these areas Communicate with multiple units simultaneously

[0021] In essence, existing methods and systems, while providing a solution to the problem of measuring networks using CDMA access technology, are slow and do not provide ideal intermediate results, and ignore macrodiversity, which is used to provide third-generation network One of the most difficult factors for any operator of business to manage
