Planning of LTE network at cawang — Cikarang Utama Toll Road with adaptive soft frequency reuse

Abstract

In this research, existing LTE network around Cawang — Cikarang Utama is analyzed by capacity and coverage planning for five years later. Those existing sites around the toll roadthat not working optimally according to LTE Provider's KPI, will be classified. One of those sites becomes an input in performance test simulation. With using Adaptive Soft Frequency Reuse (ASFR) technique, the simulation intends to prove that ASFR can improve cell performance by performing power and subcarrier adjustment. ASFR is developed from SFR that can increase user data rate both in cell edge and cell center.
