Hetnet deployment strategy

SIRADEL has been consulted by the technology strategy team of a North American Tier-1 mobile network operator to help to move from macro-cell coverage oriented methodologies, to a heterogeneous capacity and user-oriented process.

The study was achieved thanks to advanced 3D modeling, and capacity simulation tools taking into account features of upcoming 4G LTE-A standard.

The report clearly indicated the required tools and processes in order to properly plan and configure the RAN and backhaul links for wireless NLOS situations, and to obtain 3D coverage and a dashboard exhibiting the main metrics to monitor.
