Implementasi Carrier Aggregation (CA) menggunakan metode Automatic Cell Planning (ACP) pada Optimasi Jaringan Radio

The implementation of Radio Network (2G/3G/4G) in Indonesia still has many obstacles, especially for the coverage area which is still uneven. So that causes there are still many areas in Indonesia that are classified as bad spot areas, one of which is the Koto Baru Payobasung area, Payakumbuh. This is obtained from the existing simulation carried out, which obtained 2 of the 3 parameters classified in very bad conditions, namely RSRP and Throughput. To overcome this problem, the way that can be used is network optimization. This research implements Carrier Aggregation (CA) using Automatic Cell Planning (ACP) optimization technique with RSRP, SINR, and Throughput parameters. The results showed an increase in each parameter, where the ACP technique obtained an RSRP value of = -103 dBm, SINR of = 2 dB, and Throughput = 15 mbps. As for the CA technique, the RSRP value = -90 dBm, SINR = 7 dB, and Throughput = 50 mbps. These two optimization techniques show that implementing CA is more effective than the ACP technique due to the value of the optimization parameter results.
