Telenor Myanmar New Network Planning - Overview of Network Planning

Table of Content [Hide]

Network planning is a critical link in telecommunications network engineering. Sound upfront network planning helps achieve more with less investment, delivering high project quality at lower costs. It also ensures smooth implementation, shortens construction duration and brings twice the result with half the effort.

Network planning and network design are two distinct concepts. Network planning focuses on the macro level, mainly covering network construction scope and feasibility analysis. By contrast, network design concentrates on the micro level, emphasizing implementation details as well as relevant technologies, methods, techniques and workflows.

The construction of a brand-new mobile communication network starts with network planning. The main input information for the planning of the three major network segments is specified as follows.

Inputs for Mobile Core Network Planning

Number of subscribers
Service requirements
Technical standards
Network scale

Inputs for Radio Access Network (RAN) Planning

RAN technical standards
Radio spectrum resource information
Nationwide simulation maps of Myanmar
Coverage indicator requirements for urban areas, suburbs, rural areas, mountainous regions and other scenarios
Anchor station addresses

The network planning for the three segments covers seven dimensions

Network coverage planning
Network capacity planning
Network architecture planning
Network reliability planning
Network QoS planning
Network security planning
Network management planning
