Area surrounding Saprissa
Stadium:
Sectors contributing in Capacity
& Coverage

Sectors shooting directly the

area of Saprissa Stadium
When proposing a new
design
solution
for
Saprissa
Stadium,
it
needs to be integrated
within
the
current
3G
Macro layer in terms of
Coverage,
Capacity
and
neighboring relations.
The performance in terms
of Traffic and Rejections for
all Sectors involved in the
area of Saprissa Stadium
has been carefully checked
by Astellia.

Unfortunately the existing

3G
COW
W5011
in
Saprissa Stadium is not
helping
at
all
(<200
Erlang/Day) in handling the
high amount of traffic (CS
& PS) during the different
events in Saprissa area.
Reason is related to 3bad
position especially for the

Saprissa Stadium 3G
Design
Performance KPIs: Voice Traffic
in Erlang

We can see clearly from the above Chart, that the handled Traffic by the internal 3G COW
W5011 in Saprissa Stadium is very low. The reason is related to the bad physical
position of the COW, high interference due to the obstacles and bad signal propagation.
Most of the Traffic (CS & PS) is generated from the inside Stadium and the current COW
is not able to handle the high amount of Traffic due to performance limitations.

Performance KPIs: DL Power
Rejections

We can see clearly from the above Chart, that the number of Rejections in
Saprissa Stadium is huge. The aim of the proposed solution is to
decrease/eliminate the number of rejections during the different events.
During the site survey for the area of Saprissa Stadium, we had a proposal to
include an additional 3rd NodeB. This proposal is suspended for the time, since it
can create more Pilot pollution/Interference. If needed, this proposal can be
applied in later phase.

From the above Chart, we can see the proposed position for the COW#2
(Pole of 15m Height), that should cover the inside of the Stadium, stairs
and the main external roads.
