4G NETWORK PLANNING:-
Things to remember for 4G NETWORK PLANNING
If you are a greenfield or emerging operator aiming at building a
competitive Broadband Wireless Access Network (such as, for example, WiMAX and
LTE), you should not make the mistake of underestimating the effort you need to
put in place. This is and will remain a complex undertaking, especially if your
network has to stand out as a true carrier-class infrastructure delivering
superior services while achieving business efficiencies.

TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS
Introduction To Transmission Systems
•
Transmission
systems form the backbone of any networks.
•
Normally
transmission systems include SDH, PDH, ATM, Microwaves, leased lines.
•
In
GSM normally the core network is located in the same premises and are mostly
interconnected by fixed wireline. In huge network consisting of many MSC located
at different places the interconnection may be through any of the transmission
systems mentioned above.
•
The
Access network consists of BSC’s with many BTS’s connected to them in various
transmission topologies. Normal practice is to connect various BSC’c to the MSC
via fiber and different BTS’s connected to BSC via microwave in Daisy chain,
star or any other topology. However there can be many different ways of
implementation.
