Abstract
This paper focuses on the problem of 5G network cell planning. In addition, it presents an example of a rough estimation of the required number of cells or base stations in a certain area for arbitrary number of users who are provided with a certain bandwidth per user within these cells. The cell number estimation is the initial step and the essence of planning and implementation of 5G network in an area. It is helpful for the operators to create and take into the account business plans in order to fully implement the network as a function of number of users which have to be served. Considering that, knowing the rough number of 5G base stations per user is very important for pre-sale activities and eventually necessity for widening of the initial investments. Therefore, the paper presents four scenarios that include different network parameters. Depending on the network parameters, the required number of base stations in a certain area changes. Given scenarios are examples of one 5G network in virtual area per bandwidth per user.
Highlights
Radio Network Planning (RNP) plays a significant role in the development of cell design
When the path loss value is calculated, it is possible to calculate the level of the received signal that will be compared to the sensitivity of the receiver
Each scenario individually calculates the throughput in one cell and the bandwidth or data rate for one user in that cell
Summary
Radio Network Planning (RNP) plays a significant role in the development of cell design. The user is no longer the last point in wireless network but is expected to participate in storage, content delivery exchange and budgeting within the network This new paradigm implies a change in network architecture in which network management is coordinated and automated from a central cloud system, but at the same time, traffic management is distributed so that the shortest path passes between end devices, with the least delay. One of the advantages of this nominal planning phase is achieving a high-level estimation of the number of base stations needed to service the planned area considering user bit rate needs
