Optimization of Low Site Density Area for 4G Network in Urban City

Abstract

The development of telecommunications is currently growing rapidly, especially in urban areas. To obtain optimal data services for users, the performances of 4G network services must continue to be optimized. It is known that many users are scattered in urban areas, but sometimes it is not balanced with an even distribution of the site in this area. This condition occurs because the distribution of the site is not evenly optimal distributed, either due to licensing constraints, limited land access for site development, or in terms of plans that have not been made. Balanced with the requirement of a 4G network, which is required, this "empty space" condition or low site density condition must find a solution or optimize it. Many optimization methods can optimize the area with low site density possibility. This study will optimize the area by adding a new site proposal based on coverage planning. We need to analyze Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) coverage signal distribution using Atoll Planning Software. After optimization, the RSRP level below or equal -80 dBm increased from 75.195% to 94.08%. Furthermore, the percentage calculation for inadequate coverage (below -80 dBm) decreased from 24.816% to 5.931%. This RSRP signal level also shows that the condition after optimization with a new site can improve the signal level condition from areas with low site density possibility.

LTE Optimization Using The Electrical Tilt Method At The Mandau Site

“…The development of telecommunications technology is very rapid, so it is very important for users to obtain communication and information quickly and easily (Arin Anjani, 2015;Ulfah & Sri Irtawaty, 2018;Yuliana et al, 2021) Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the name of the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Project to raise the bar for 3rd generation (4G) mobile phones (Hardiyanto, 2020;Panjaitan et al, 2018;Ulfah et al, 2018;Yuliana et al, 2019) provides data rates of up to 100 Mbps on the downlink side and up to 50 Mbps on the Uplink side (Kusumo et al, 2015;Rahmania, 2020;Warsika et al, 2019). LTE networks are advanced communications for accessing GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA based wireless data and LTE technology can provide 300 Mbps downloads and 75 Mbps uploads (Gemiharto, 2015;Rahmat & Chandra, 2022;Sahala & Sirait, 2018;Suparyanto, 2020;Irawan et al, 2022) .…”
