    The key factors in cell planning include traffic demand, capacity, coverage, quality of service, and system growth capability.

    The types of data collected for traffic and coverage analysis include capacity, coverage, grade of service, available frequencies, speech quality, and system growth capability.

    The Erlang is used to measure traffic intensity and can be calculated based on the number of calls per hour and average call time.

    Traffic and Coverage Analysis


    Cell planning begins with traffic and coverage analysis. The analysis should produce
    information about the geographical area and the expected capacity (traffic load). The
    types of data collected are: Cost, Capacity, Coverage, Grade Of Service (GOS), Available
    frequencies, Speech quality, and System growth capability. The basis for all cell planning
    is the traffic demand, i.e. how many subscribers use the network and how much traffic
    they generate. The Erlang (E) is a unit of measurement of traffic intensity. It can be
    calculated with the following formula:

    A= (N x T) / 3600

    ERLANG

    where,

    A = offered traffic from one or more users in the system.


    n = number of calls per hour.
    T = average call time in seconds.
    The geographical distribution of traffic demand can be calculated by the use of
    demographic data such as Population distribution, Car usage distribution, Income level
    distribution, Land usage data, Telephone usage statistics and Other factors, like
    subscription/call charge and price of MSs.

    Erlang B Formula:
    The Erlang B formula is based on the most common assumptions used. These
    assumptions are:
    No queues.
    Number of subscribers much higher than number of traffic channels.
    No dedicated (reserved) traffic channels.
    Poisson distributed (random) traffic.
    Blocked calls abandon the call attempt immediately.

    Calculation of required number of BTSs


    To determine the number and layout of BTSs some inputs must be given for example:
    If the following data exists for a network:

    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.
    5.
    6.

    No. of subscribers=300000.
    Total bandwidth (MHZ) =50.
    The GOS is the percentage of allowed congested calls=2%.
    Expected call/hour/user=1/3600
    Average call/user (second) =90
    Cell pattern=7/21

    This leads to the following calculations:


    1. Up link BW = down link BW = (Total BW (MHZ) =50)/2=25 MHZ.
    2. no. of frequencies=(uplink bw(MHZ)=25/ch.spacing (MHZ))=0.2=125.
    3. Traffic channels/cell= (no. of frequencies=125/cluster size=21) =6.
    4. No. of traffic channels= (traffic channels/cell=6)*8-2=46.
    5. Traffic/subscriber=(Expectedcall/hour/user=1/3600)*(Average
    call/user (second) =90) =0.025.
    6. Using erlang b table B=2%
    Traffic channels=46
    So traffic/cell=36.53.

    7. Subscriber/cell= (traffic/cell=36.53)/ (traffic/subscriber=0.025) =1462.


    8. No. of cells= (No. of subscribers=300000)/( subscriber/cell=1462)=206.
    9. No. of BTSs = (no. of cells= 206)/3=69.
    RESULTS:
    IF WE VARY THE CELL SIZE SO SOME OUTPUTS WILL CHANGE
    NO. OF CELLS WILL DECREASE.
    NO. OF BTSS WILL DECREASE.
