Planning & Simulation Analysis of 4G LTE-Advanced Mobile Network Deployment Using 2100 MHz Frequency Spectrum in Dense Urban Area: Case Study in Central Jakarta

4G LTE-Advanced is the latest technology that supports faster connections. Many people in Indonesia are expecting this newest technology to facilitate activities related to an internet connection. Because of this, users are increasing and causing network congestion in Indonesia. The solution to this problem is the addition of frequencies on the 4G LTE-Advanced network. This research plans and simulates 4G LTE-Advanced network deployment in Central Jakarta with a frequency spectrum of 2100 MHz using a quantitative method with two approaches, capacity and coverage planning, and performance analysis of four parameters, namely, RSRP, SINR, radio bearer, and throughput. The results of this research are that network deployment in Central Jakarta requires at least 109 sites to cover all regions and users. The performance analysis results show that network deployment is feasible, with an RSRP value of −60,97 dBm, an average SINR of 3,37 dB, modulation using 16QAM with an efficiency of 2,4063, and throughput with an average of 22.258,37 kbps.
