This document summarizes the author's knowledge and experience with RF planning and optimization. It includes tasks performed like proposal writing, comparative analysis of technologies and vendors, and study of common problems. RF planning and optimization involves tasks like site survey, capacity and coverage planning, frequency use, interference mitigation and network evaluation. The process includes problem analysis, drive testing, simulation, and proposing solutions to improve coverage, capacity and quality while managing costs and resources.

1. This document is the reflection of my knowledge and experience on RF planning and Optimization.
1. RF Planning and optimization:
I have achieved the following tasks while working on RF Planning and Optimization:
 Proposal Writing for RF Planning and Optimization
 Comparative Analysis of 2G, 3G and 4G LTE Services and their KPIs
 Comparative Analysis of vendor specific RF Optimization procedures
 Comprehensive study of Single Site Verification (General and Vendor Specific)
 Comprehensive study of Common RF Optimization Problems
 World Wide coordination with 4G VoLTE Vendors including Cisco, Ericsson, Nokia and
Mitel.
In general, RF Planning and optimization includes the following:
Planning Optimization
Site Survey
Capacity
Coverage
Frequency
Interference
Parameter
Design
Implementation
Evaluate
Optimize

2. Planning Network Evaluation Path:
 Basic Coverage Deployment
 The first capacity and extension coverage enhancement deployment (Indoor coverage)
 Intelligent capacity enhancement deployment with strong indoor coverage improvement
 Base station coverage area splitting/microcellular/dual band deployment, to further improve
coverage capacity and quality.
Steps Involved in Planning:
RF Optimization:
Objectives:
 Finding and correcting the existing problems after site implementation and integration
 Meeting the network quality criteria agreed in the contract
 Optimization will be continuous and iterative process of improving overall network quality
 Optimization cannot reduce the performance of the rest of the network
 Area of interest is divided into smaller areas called clusters to make optimization an follow up
process easier to handle

3. Proposes Methodology:
 Problem analysis
 Conduct Drive Testing
Gather Statistics
Subject to investigate (Faulty TRX, Coverage Overlaps, Drop Calls, capacity and interference
issues)
 Simulate real time scenario on TEMS (after drive testing)
 Export into MapInfo to check cell overshoot, coverage etc.
 Propose Solution
Expected Outcomes:
 Good signal coverage at macro and micro sites
 Rx quality level should be good
 No interference issue
Quality
Cost Resources
The above mentioned tasks and information is a glimpse of my knowledge and Experience on RF
optimization. I have good knowledge of RF planning, optimization, Single Site Verification and key
performance indicators (KPIs) of 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE.
