Long Term Evolution (LTE) Network Planning in Ipoh City

Abstract

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is an evolutionary step towards improving telecommunication to higher step. Long Term Evolution (LTE) or also known as 4G is a radio platform technology which provides minimum latency with maximum data rates and speed. LTE have been implemented in latest phones and still some places does not have this facility due to transformation process. Another issue that we can look through is the capability of the network to support users in the area. The coverage and capacity that have been produced may not satisfy user demand and it might be the factor of a network planning. This project will investigate the impact of the antenna parameters on network planning as well identify range of coverage and capacity that can be provided with a LTE network architecture for Ipoh city. In addition to that, transmission power will be investigated with 2 type of sector which is 3 sector and 6 sector
