Difficulties in Planning by Simulation

Indoor Sites
Indoor sites is more
important in some
areas.
It is very difficult to

New buildings appear

Huawei- AFP SolutionIFOS

IFOS (Intelligent Frequency Optimization System) is Huawei developed tool which worked on the
basis of AFP (Automatic Frequency Planning), Takes the network real time MRs data as input to
generate the most affective Frequency plan.

Huawei IFOS frequency re-planning service is based on the MR data collection and analysis of the
subscribers from the existing network. The interference matrix is used to generate a network model,
which is best for the existing network for the entire network frequency optimization. This service can
reduce the intra-network interference and improve the voice quality and customer experience

Advantages

Effectively improve the utilization of network frequency resources to support sustainable network
development.

Reduce intra-network interferences and improve voice quality by re-planning frequencies to

enhance the brand competitiveness.

Improve the efficiency of frequency optimization and enhance the accuracy and rationality of
frequency planning through MR data analysis and IFOS Platform.

Resolve the intra-network interference caused by improper frequency planning or strategy, improve
the voice quality and increase subscriber satisfaction.
