Evaluation of 4G / LTE mobile network performances based on experimental data

Abstract

With the development of different generation of mobile networks, the mobile telecommunications networks have known expanded growth. These networks have admitted the integration of new services. This rapid evolution has led operators to adapt their planning methods to new technologies that increase the network's complexity. The planning phase corresponds to ensure the best radio coverage, compatibility with existing networks, management of the handover, the anticipation of interference, cell size, and supported load. This will allows for adequate coverage and good service to support the potential increase in traffic. This work's main objective is to manage the optimization, planning, and sizing techniques of a 4G network. This study is based on experimental data of the different parameters (PDSCH Modulation; BLER (Block Error Rate).
