Private 5G Network Capacity and Coverage Deployment for Vertical Industries: Case Study in Indonesia

The business and industrial worlds are implementing the Internet of Things (IoT) more and more, which affects the utilization of cellular networks as a connectivity provider platform. The presence of the 5G network provides a solution by offering the flexibility to establish a public or personal network to enhance vertical industry needs. The objective of this study is to generate a private 5G network in the Jababeka Industrial Area, with an area of 35 km2. In determining the optimal number of gNodeB, this study administered a planning method depending on capacity and coverage at 2300MHz and 40MHz BW to obtain the best number of gNodeB needs when applied by the Private 5G Network. in accordance with the capacity analysis, formulating up a private 5G network requires in downlink are 69 gNodeB and in uplink are 65 gNodeB. As for coverage, it requires 44 gNodeB for uplink and 69 gNodeB for downlink. These findings indicate that 69 gNodeB is the ideal number of nodes demanded for the Jababeka industrial region. With these results, the coverage analysis employing Atoll revealed the SS-RSRP value was-92, 76 dBm, falling under the “Good” category and the SS- SINR value is 6.94, falling under “Normal.” Furthermore, the value for the need of traffic demand was 2688 Mbps/km2, possessing a maximum data throughput for the uplink of 1.456 Gbps and the downlink of 1.361 Gbps.
