Abstract
This paper introduces a novel small-cell network planning framework that considers geographical terrain variation and urban geography characteristics. The framework
ensures adequate coverage and addresses all radio-frequency propagation characteristics and limits.
Introduction
Small-cell networks are a viable option to support additional mobile communication growth
Several factors, including terrain pattern, structural obstructions, antenna height etc. influence small-cell signal propagation by attenuating them
Appropriate cell location planning for small-cell site placement with optimal antenna height, over urban area, is essential
Verification of Framework
Future plans
Extend the scopes of this framework for comparison with current mobile operator deployments and introduce other path loss models, in order to further test and improve our claims.
Conclusion
In summary, our results indicate that
The proposed cell location framework is a justified urban area small-cell deployment
The framework incorporates appropriate small-cell radius
The proposed planning functions within maximum RF signal power degradation limit for LTE networks
