Fractional Load Planning is one of specific radio design task that evaluating and analyzing available frequency spectrum and transceiver against traffic load, thus able to determine design of radio frequency assignment strategy to maintain quality service at desired level.
At early stage of activity, gathering performance measurement data and network configuration is required to allow evaluation of current relation between network load and performance.
The evaluation should lead to frequency spectrum efficiency preliminary analysis which deliver initial frequency allocation and hopping scheme. Using advanced planning tool, the initial RF strategy can be simulated and evaluated through intensive coverage and interference analysis.
The simulation would let us know whether further adjustment would be required or not, thus most suitable and benefit strategy can be determine. Once we able to find it, detail RF configuration data for new hopping system shall be defined.
On implementation of the new RF strategy derived from fractional load planning, fine tuning might be required, including consideration of activation and fine-tuning of interference controlling feature such as Power Control and DTX.
