involved in determining which sites will be used for the radio equipment, which equipment will be used and how the equipment will be configured
Customer demand : GOS 2% 95 % Indoor coverage (C/I > 12 db) > 95%

After the data available, we need to divided the region into smaller cluster, then classify the subdistrict into cluster depend on traffic, contour area, and etc. From the demographic data (Table 2) , we able to calculate % growth of population.
Pt = Po (1 + r ) n
573333 = 437556 x (1+r)6 r = 0.046 Assume that, in 2010 the operator want to cover 10 % subscriber in the region, so the number of subscribers to be covered : Pt = 10 % x 57333 x (1+0.046)3 Pt = 65629 If traffic allocation per subscriber equal to 60mE then total traffic in Sragen area = 65629 x 60 mE = 3937.74 E
Wide of area which will be covered
depend on traffic.
Using erlang B table we can count number of sites for cluster sragen
tengah (GOS 2%, 1585.85 Erlang) 1586 TS ~ 227 TRX Sragen tengah locate in center of town and has high traffic we use configuration 5/5/5 so the number of sites required in this cluster : 227/15 TRX = 15 Sites With the same way we can calculate number of sites for the others cluster: Sragen Timur = 9 sites (Config 4/4/4) Sragen Barat = 12 sites (Config 4/4/4) Sragen Utara = 9 sites (Config 4/4/4)
between uplink and downlink signal. Output from system balance is a cell size in every sites. Link Budget We can calculate coverage area per sites in suburban and rural cluster by equation L = k x R2 Lsite suburban = 1.95 x (1.865)2 = 6.78 km2 L site rural = 1.95 x (2.67)2 = 13.90 km2
The next step, calculating number of sites related to coverage.
appropriate propagation model, RF Engineer should perform CW Test. Drivetesting should be performed encircle the route and represent all of azimuth. Input all of drivetesting result to the planning tools then conducting calibration to get appropriate propagation model.
Survey
Survey is required to ensure whether the
nominal cell position can be realized or not ? In general, The RF Team should give alternative nominal or informed SAR ( 300m) to survey team, in case the nominal cannot be realized. The survey team should take the panoramic photo around the nominal (0-360 degree), and report to the RF team if appear obstacle around the nominal. Panoramic photo used to determine coverage target/azimuth Survey team also need to survey : road to nominal, electricity, space for equipment.
Detail Planning
All of nominal coordinates must be fixed in
avoiding co-channel and adjacent interference. For TCH Frequency planning, we able to apply SFH or Baseband hopping in order to reduce the interference.
equation :
Maximum configuration for the sites 5/5/5, so that
3 sectors with 24 hopping frequencies : -TCH = 3 TRXs FL = (3/24)*100% = 12,5% -TCH = 4 TRXs FL = (4/24)*100% = 16,67%

the hopping algorithm between two cells having the same MAList. We can choose best pairs HSN to reduce collision frequencies between server and adjacent.

need to conduct commisioning (VSWR Measurement, check hardware installation ) The Drive test team also need to verify whether the BTS serving target correctly or not Then, Acceptance Test Procedure is conducted to check how well the KPI meets the demand. Pre Launch Optimization performed to achieve the KPI Target for new site or TRX expansion.
Search for the frequency correction burst in that carrier in order to varify if it is a BCCH carrier Is it a BCCH carrier? Yes Try to synchronize to the carrier and read the BCCH data. No No
Yes
Cell Reselection
C1 + cellReselectOffset - temporaryOffset*H(penaltyTime-T) penaltyTime C2 = C1 + cellReselectOffset . T > penaltyTime 1 when T < = penaltyTime H(x) = 0 when T > penaltyTime T<=

Conclusion
Every New Network need good plan for
avoid problems that will be arise. Commonly there are six step in conducting planning. The most critical problems in performing cell planning process is interference. the New Sites onair need to be optimized to achieve the KPI Pre Launch Optimization is done for new sites on air or expansion sites.
