 Analysing the total traffics into every regions.

 1、based on proportion of the traffics in existing network of every
region ；
 2、statistics of relative increase rate in every region.
 3、result：proportion of traffics in network of every region in the
plan period.

12

 Analysis of feast traffics

• purpose：analysis of the peak traffics in every region to reserve some
redundant capacity for the peak traffic.
• process：
– 1、comparing the feasts peak traffics with the weekday peak traffics
– 2、ensuring the plan traffics to meet the most busy hour traffics of the plan
period.

 Traffics Analysis of the maximum traffic density area.

• target：to determine whether to introduce GSM1800 system
• process：
– 1、according to traffics statistics of about 3km2 area，to get the increase
trends of the traffic density in the area and the prediction on traffics density
in the area within 3 years.
– 2、according to Statistics of the base stations in the area，to get the
average distance of the base stations；
– 3、according to the bearable traffic density of the different wireless
network,to determine whether to introduce the bi-frequency network.

 Target：transfering traffic into channels。

 procedure：
• 1、statistics of the cell parameters in every region,including the number
of the base stations ,cells,channels etc.；
• 2、to make sure the traffic of one channel in every region by looking up
reference form；
• 3、Dividing the traffics of the every region,educe the number of the
voice channels。

17
GSM WIRELESS NETWORK PLAN_capacity

 purpose：transfering channels into carriers and base

stations.
 process：
• 1、Considering the influence of BCCH/SDCCH,and GPRS dedicated
PDCH；
• 2、 With the number of carriers in a cell of existing networks for a
reference, transfer voice channels into carriers.
• 3、the total channels is divided by the number of channels per site in
every region to get the number of the sites.
• 4、compared with the number of the existing base stations,to estimate
whether the network arrive at the coverage target .

GSM WIRELESS NETWORK PLAN_optimization

 target：
 Enhance use efficiency of network resource and improve
network quality of service.
 Resolve problem of the network coverage and the traffic
imbalance.
 Wireless network optimization：
 Optimizing base stations location
 Adjusting sites type
 Adjusting antennas
 Adjusting carriers to balance the assigned traffic
