This course provides technical insights into radio network planning principles for 5G systems deployments in the mid-band and mm-wave spectrum. While the primary focus is on 5G-New Radio (NR) cell coverage and capacity calculation and network design, various multi-RAT issues including Non-Standalone (NSA) deployment and NR dynamic sharing with LTE are also discussed. Assuming familiarity of the audience with 5G NR air interface the course starts with a brief review of essential 5G NR topics with a focus on physical layer channels, spectrum, and RF parameters as well as NG-RAN architectures and multi-carrier deployment options including dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS). The course then dives into the 5G RF design and planning process and calculations with a focus on system coverage and capacity objective. The concepts and detailed calculations of the downlink and uplink radio link budget are presented and used for 5G-NR coverage based planning. Capacity analysis is also addressed starting with demand projection and cell capacity estimation following by capacity based cell planning. Then using some examples the combined coverage and capacity based dimensioning process is presented and finally, some site selection and generic guidelines for RF planning tools are discussed.

Recent Feedback

"The trainers for me were of significant value because they represent two things that I think are really critical. Number one is that both trainers with whom I have the most direct experience were very experienced in the market itself. They had commercial experience as entrepreneurs working for big companies as well as small companies very directly in the telecommunications industry. The second thing that’s really important for a trainer to be good is an understanding of pedagogy and the process of learning. They use that to present the material so that it lands and finds a home in the brains of the learners in multiple ways. The high-caliber trainers we dealt with had both the experience and pedagogical passion.”
