Abstract
A method for planning a cellular mobile telecommunications network includes at least one network cell and is intended to provide network services to users located in the network cell. The method includes: a) initializing, for the at least one network cell, a service area and a transmission power for each user equipment; b) estimating a total power received by the at least one network cell from user equipment located in the service area and using the at least one network service; c) based on the estimated total received power, varying the transmission powers required to user equipment located in the service area in order to reach a target quality of service constraint for the at least one network service; d) iterating the steps b) and c) until a stability condition is reached wherein the transmission power variation for at least a predetermined fraction of the user equipment is lower than a predetermined threshold; e) calculating a total received power corresponding to the transmission powers at the end of step d); f) calculating an uplink load factor corresponding to the total received power calculated in step e); g) ascertaining whether the calculated uplink load factor is lower t…
