In order for developing countries to design and deploy Long Term Evolution (LTE) network in a cost-efficient manner, the differentiated way of technological design and deployment methods are necessary as compared to those for advanced countries. This paper focused on Radio Access Network (RAN) design methodology for developing countries that consists of major part of the network cost. To verify the effectiveness of the suggested design methodology, a Korean telecom company A's actual design experience in an African developing country was examined.
