1 IntroductionThis document outlines the main content requirements of a Celtel radio plan for planning board submission (PBS) validation. Whereappropriate, comments have been given, otherwise sample plots, tables, etc are provided and the Celtel engineer should note the formatand replicate and include the same in a radio PBS document.

A radio PBS document should be built up of the following parts:

1. Overview of the plana. classifying sites (sites should be classified into 5 types: new coverage, capacity relief, coverage improvement, Micro and

Pico sites)b. showing nationwide coveragec. giving population coverage statistics

2. Plotsa. Should be delivered for a site or a group of sites according to the description given in the main document

3. Detailed radio plana. Should give per site details of antennas, heights, etc

4. Presentation of capacity plan resultsa. Given per city/capacity planning area

5. Summary BoQa. With breakdown of equipment in installed, required, in stock, on order, spares, etc

Details and examples of plots (as close to ideal as available at the time of preparing the document) are presented in this document.

2.3 Site ClassificationFrom the radio validation point of view, the sites are classified in 5 classes, where specific requirements are need for each class for the

radio design validation, these classes are:

Site Classific ation Definiti on

New Coverage Macrocell whose primary purpose is to increase the network coverage footprint at the outdoor levelCapacity Macrocell whose primary purpose is to relieve an existing site in terms of trafficCoverage Improvement Macrocell whose primary purpose is to strengthen the signal level of an existing coverage areaMicro Site Outdoor street level installation to add capacity for hotspot or improve coverage penetration in a dense urban areaPico Site Indoor installation to add capacity or improve deep indoor coverage inside target building

All sites should be classified according to only 1 of the above classifications.

2.4 Site Details A summary table showing the site name, budget ID, site classification (coverage improvement, capacity, new coverage, micro, pico), andlocation (name of town/city) is required for all sites included in the PBS (see example below):

2.5 Nationwide coverage plots

2.5.1 Global network coverage for the current networkNote:

should be overlaid over latest Landscan 200x population data should have main roads shown (but dont clutter the plot with too many roads) Main towns/cities should be marked, but dont clutter the map by showing too many Must include all sites approved by previous PB, even if they are not yet on air

2.5.2 Global network coverage for the network after implementation of si tes requested in current PBNote:

should be overlaid over latest Landscan 200x population data should have main roads shown (but dont clutter the plot with too many roads) Main towns/cities should be marked, but dont clutter the map by showing too many

2.6 Population coverage statis ticsPopulation coverage statistics should be:

Generated using planet ev coverage prediction at Outdoor level Using the latest Landscan population database Should be presented as follows:

o population under coverage (taking into account all sites previously approved by PB, even if they are not yet in service)o population under coverage after sites requested in PBS are addedo For each of the 2 above cases, the following data should be presented:

Total country population according to Landscan 200x Total population covered % population covered Total country area (km 2) % country area covered Total area covered (km 2)

Example:Q2 2006 Q3 2006

Pop Landscan 2004 13,781 13,781

% Pop Covered 72.6% 82.5%

Pop Covered 10,008 11,378

Total Country Area 274,400 km 2 274,400 km 2

% Area Covered 38% 55%

Total Area Covered 105,085 km 2 150,693 km 2

3 Plots

3.1 New Coverage SitesFor all new coverage or coverage improvement projects, the following plots should be included in PBS.

Heights (with relief shading) with vectors & mkting polygons Clutter with vectors & mkting polygons Global coverage before with vectors & mkting polygons Global coverage after with vectors & mkting polygons Coverage of new site(s) with vectors & mkting polygons

Note that if a cluster of sites are close together, then 1 set of plots can be shown for the cluster / project, rather than generating individual plots for each

site. zoom levels should be selected so that the full coverage footprint of the site can be seen, and importantly, such that neighbour sites and their

coverage can be seen Plot size and resolution should be sufficient to render an acceptable quality plot. However, note that plots that are too high resolution or too big

will result in documents that are too large to transfer electronically. A balance is needed. Applications like Photoshop can be used to reduce theresolution of pictures and plots and will result in a huge reduction is file size. Also, PBS files can be converted to PDF to reduce the size.

All sites should be displayed with Site Name and not SiteID (contrary to what is shown in this document).

3.2 Coverage Improvement SitesCoverage Improvement sites all the plots of new coverage sites are required and additionally TEMS drive RxLev_sub plot must be overlaid over boththe coverage plots.Note:

The legend colours should follow the same colour scheme as used for Planet EV plot presentation (blue=outdoor, yellow=incar, etc). When

overlaying, make sure that the TEMS measurement data stands out against the coverage grid (by using slightly different colour shades, oroutlines, etc. The signal strength threshold values (in dBm) for TEMS drive measurements are not the same as the Planet EV predicted signal strength

threshold values. Be sure to use the correct threshold values that are presented in the table below:

3.3 Capacity SitesFor capacity relief sites, the same plots are required as before (for new coverage/coverage improvement sites), but with the addition of:

Serving cell before and after with vectors & mkting polygons Also note that for capacity relief sites, marketing polygons are not required

Additionally, the following data needs to be presented for each capacity relief site (suggest to place it just before the plots of each site): Target cell(s) that require relief current traffic of target cell(s) current TRXs of target cell(s) forecast traffic of target cell(s) (without relief, growing traffic according to subs forecast and including growth margin of 3 months) forecast TRXs of target cell(s) (without relief, growing traffic according to subs forecast and including growth margin of 3 months) traffic limit of target cell(s) according to max TRX that cell can be equipped with (usually frequency planning limitation) TRX limit of target cell(s) according to max TRX that cell can be equipped with (usually frequency planning limitation) forecast traffic of target cell(s) after relief forecast TRX of target cell(s) after relief

3.5.1.2 Global view of the design and the link budgetThe global design shouldbe presented in a detailed view showing:

The different component of the design and their identifiers (BTSs , feeders, spliters, couplers ) and a legend explaining these componenent. Feeder losses and length The input power and the output power for the main components

Use the Microsoft Visio for a very quick way to do such presentation.If the design is too big to be presented in one detailed view, the view can be splited into small parts, but a simplified global view has to be provided.
