Network Planning Targets
• To achieve required radio coverage

• To maximise the network capacity(Erl/km2) with limited
frequency band (MHz)
• To reach good Quality of Service (QOS)
• To minimize the number of network elements and costs

Quality class : Down link quality in GSM units from class 0, the best quality, to class 7, the worst quality.
The reference value has been set between 0 to 5 in 98% of the time.
Signal level : The reference serving cell down link level has been set 42 dByV/m.
Call success rate : The reference number of successful call attemps has been set to 98%.
Handover success rate : The reference number of successful handovers has been set to 98%.
Subscribers/TRX : The high number of subscribers in the network could affect to the network quality
by causing interferences and unsuccessful calls due to congestion.
The reference value to be defined for high capacity networks.

Optimisation of GSM/DCS Network 1
• Network Optimisation (NO) procedure:
• Definition of service area and QOS requirements
• Network Verification A and OMC measurements
• Data analysis and network plan assessment
• BSS parameters adjustment
• Network Verification B
• BSS parameters update acceptance (based on NO report)
• Required tools and data
• Access to OMC statistics
• Network simulation tool i.e. NPS/X (optional)
• Call generator tool with call tracing i.e. NMS/X
• Access on valid network plan

Optimisation of GSM/DCS Network 2
• Modifications driven from Network Optimisation
• Antenna directions and tilting
• Power budget modifications i.e. BTS/MS power level
• Frequency assignments
• BSS parameters related to cell selection and reselection
• BSS parameters for Hand-over algorithm
• BSS parameters for Power Control algorithm
• Limitations of Network Optimisation
• Performed only for continuous coverage
• Network planning gaps (exclude areas of poor coverage)
• Availability of OMC traffic measurements (network
evolution)
• Availability of parameter transfer between NPS/X and
OMC
