(From July-2015- Present)

•LTE

•LTE RF planning and design using Planet/Atoll planning tools.

•Estimation the total number of sites for 90% coverage.

•Calculating LTE RF link budget for UL and DL including: Antenna gain, Transmit power, Diversity gain, Noise Figure, Receiver Sensitivity, EIRP, Lognormal Fading, Fast Fading, Interference margin, Number of resource elements, Power per resource element, Building loss, Vehicle loss, Body loss and Target SNR.

•SPM (Standard Propagation Model) tuning using Continuous Wave (CW) drive test data logs from different sites on different clutter classes.

•Monte Carlo Simulation for LTE system capacity Analysis using different traffic maps and subscriber lists data and analyzing the simulation statistics to make sure that the percentage of rejections due to Resource Saturation (%RS) for all sectors is 2% which indicates that the system capacity is sufficient to satisfy the traffic load requirements for the planning period.

•Improving the total designed LTE network KPI’s (coverage -mainly RSRP-, quality –RSRQ and SINR-, throughput –average simulated Mbps per Cell and for the total network-, and dominance-interference reduction.)

•Generating Planet/Atoll predictions plots to evaluate the network performance based on the new proposed configuration changes, running Monte-Carlo simulations for capacity estimations and throughput improvements, and site selection and cell Optimization using ACP Tools.

•Analyzing the MME and eNodeB Stats to evaluate different KPIs; such as: Accessibility, Retainability, Mobility, and Service Integrity.

•Setting different eNB parameters: PRACH preamble format for the appropriate cell radius, PCFICH for different PDCCH symbol numbers and timing advance parameter setting.

•Configuring LTE neighbors list and inter-RAT neighbors (GSM, UMTS) optimization.

•Configuring and Testing LTE Features.
