95G Network Planning and Optimization

9.1 Overview

This chapter discusses 5G network planning and optimization by giving an overview to the planning methods and processes applicable from the 4G era, new considerations for 5G, the key requirements for 5G planning, including flexibility and high reliability, need for multiple network and radio access technology layers, high mobility and connectivity between networks and devices, precise positioning, and high security.

This chapter provides generic guidelines for the 5G core network dimensioning, including capacity estimation and reservation, dynamic capacity allocation, and cloud‐aided methods. This chapter also details aspects on 5G radio network planning, including coverage, capacity, and parameter planning, evolved radio link budget (RLB) and its adjustment based on use cases.

9.2 5G Core and Transmission Network Dimensioning

As has been the case in all the previous mobile networks, the essential dimensioning tasks remain the same in 5G, too. The main elements in the optimal network planning are related to the capacity, coverage, and quality of service (QoS). The balancing of these parameters depends on the wanted costs; in the optimal network, the return of investment is a balance, not too expensive as it wastes the capacity, not too low cost as the customers' churn increases along with the reduced quality.

9.2.1 Capacity Estimation

Along with the expected huge amount of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that will surge within ...
