Planning Objective is to
provide outdoor & indoor
coverage that offers a traffic
with acceptable grade of
service.
Optimization Objective is to
maintain and enhance
network key performance

cost and available resources
4. Radio Access Network Responsibilities
RF Planning Responsibilities
− Nominal Plan Design
− Sites Survey
− Validation from field
− Set RF Physical design
(Site Structure, Azimuth, Height, Tilt,
Cables type)
− Frequency Plan
− Neighbor Plan
− Sites Acceptance
RF Optimization Responsibilities
− Maintaining Network KPIs:
• Accessibility: Users’ ability to access the network
• Retainability: Users’ ability to successfully
to continue their connections
• Integrity: Keeping the quality of the service
− Tuning/Activation new radio features
− Following up costumers’ trouble tickets form
radio access side.
− Endless improvements on Network KPIs.
5. Antenna Configuration Requirements
- Antenna Diversity:
- Isolation of 30 dB: (for TX-to-TX and
TX-to-RX relationships)
Radiation Patterns must not be
distorted by obstacles or reflections
near the antenna.
Reducing antenna height by 50% will
reduce average received signal by 6 dB
The values here are valid for 850 MHz, 1900 MHz,
and collocated 850/1900 MHz systems only.
Antennas must be Separated from each other to achieve:
6. Space Diversity
The horizontal separation needed for
the antennas is dependent on the
required diversity gain.
The vertical separation requires
approximately five times the
horizontal value in order to get the
same diversity gain.
Generally 1 m is required for each 10
m in height above the ground to
achieve 3-6 dB gain in Rx level.
7. Polarization Diversity
The diversity gain obtained from polarization
diversity is slightly less then the gain from
space diversity.
A dual polarized antenna offers very low
correlation between the two received signals,
but the power reception of each branch is
slightly better with space diversity.
In interference-limited environments, the low
correlation obtained by polarization diversity
is advantageous.
Due to slightly different propagation
characteristics for different kinds of
polarization, the downlink from a ±45 degree
dual polarized antenna suffers from about 1.5
dB extra loss compared to two vertically
polarized antennas.
8. Isolation
Needed to avoid distortion due to intermodulation
Need to fulfill these isolation values
− TX – RX isolation > 30 dB
− TX – TX isolation > 30 dB
Horizontal physical separation
requirements
− 30 dB isolation: 11.5 λ
− 800 MHz: 3 m
− 1900 MHz: 1.8 m
Vertical separation requirement
for antenna is 0.2 meter

15. Nominal Radio Plan For Kocaeli University
The terrain nature in Umuttepe Campus is so
complex
Proposed Solution: Green Field Tower (40 m)
Tower of height 40m can overcome the
terrain difficulties but it may cause
interference on sites in the proximity.
Low density population around the
university so a tolerable amount of
interference maybe caused on other sites.
Three Towers for
three operators
17. We select Antenna Type by matching antenna’s gain and
Horizontal beamwidth to cell coverage area and targets
Antenna Type
Some Useful Rules of Thumb:
Dense buildings or industrial zones needs high gain antennas
For targets close to each other it is better to employ lower
horizontal beamwidth.

A dual-polarized antenna is an antenna device with two arrays within the same physical unit. The two arrays can be designed and oriented in different ways as long as the two polarization planes have equal performance with respect to gain and radiation patterns. Ex. Arrays in ±45 degree slant orientation.
