Abstract

In this paper, we present ICEPT, a new mobile radio network planning tool that is based on an integrated design approach. The new approach starts with the analysis of the spatial distribution of the expected teletraffic within the service area of the cellular system. Employing this principle, the ICEPT tool considers concurrently the four major design areas of cellular networks: radio transmission, mobile subscriber, resource allocation, and system architecture. ICEPT uses these factors as input for the automatic network design algorithm ABPA which locates the base stations in the supplying area.
