Agenda






Radio network optimisation

challenges

Network Optimisation

To ensure network coverage, quality and capacity are continuously optimised as the network is expanded

Determine the optimal network configuration in the quickest time with the least effort

Multi-technology consideration

Optimise one network technology while considering the needs of other technologies which share hardware (i.e. shared antennas)

Working on different technologies generally means using different tools which take time to learn

Speed and Efficiency

Engineers need to be more efficient to meet business process improvement targets

Determining which network changes will provide the greatest cost/benefit return

Developing a fixed process across all regions/operations


Addressing the challenges with Capesso

An automatic cell planning tool that allows you to:

Automatically plan and optimise the radio network

Optimise the performance of multiple dependant networks together

Find the best network design taking account of your network constraints

Assign costs to every network change to find the best cost/benefit point

A Multi-Technology platform: GSM,

UMTS, CDMA, WiMAX and LTE

Tightly integrated with ASSET

Able to generate an optimised plan

for a town in a few minutes and a

metropolis overnight

Won every ACP technical comparison

since 2006


Network Optimisation

Capesso uses sophisticated mathematical algorithms to accurately balance competing design factors as well as cost of implementation

Capesso regularly shows performance improvements of more than 30% over manual designs and customers often comment on its user friendliness and flexibility

Constraints can be placed on designs and a wide selection of parameters are available for modification

With native 64 bit architecture, speed and scalability are unmatched by any other ACP

Case 1

Case 2

Case N LTE mode N; C/(I+N) = 10dB; RX level = -85dBm

LTE mode 2; C/(I+N) = 10dB; RX level = -85dBm

LTE mode 1; C/(I+N) = 10dB; RX level = -85dBm

“What if” business case analysis with Capesso

Better results, 30% improvement over manual designs!


Combining Drive Test with MR and OSS

data

Full support for use of geo-located UE measurements

Automatic generation of traffic density maps

Radio optimization based on

Drive test only

Drive test + predictions

Drive test + predictions + geo-located UE measurements

Combination of the Drive Test data with mobile and OSS data provides verification of mobile measurement performance by trusted drive tests

Network and Geo Data

(from planning tool)

Drive Test Measurements

Geo-located UE Measurements

Reliability of drive test and OSS measurements plus the power of proven algorithms


Multi-technology Support

A Multi-Technology platform with support

for GSM, UMTS, CDMA, WiMAX and LTE

Strong capabilities around optimising

multiple overlaid networks especially

where shared physical components such

as multi-band antennas are concerned

Ability to compare multiple scenarios

across multiple technologies to highlight

the best compromise to meet your needs

Consistent interface across the

technologies

Optimise all your network technologies together


Speed and Efficiency

Capesso develops a network plan in a fraction of the time it takes an engineer to plan the same area

Balances the cost of potential actions against the benefit it delivers to produce the most cost effective network.

Inspector shows scenario comparisons quickly and graphically using a fast, purpose built graphical user interface

Easy to deploy across regions/operations, creating a standardised approach to optimisation across the whole company

Better results, faster and simpler!
