Abstract

Systems and methods for planning a wireless network are disclosed. Attributes of the wireless network may be determined from minimal information. For instance, based on a specified coverage area and network usage information, and without operating frequency information, base station equipment models may be determined. An estimated number of base stations to deploy the network also may be determined. Also, a geographic extent of the network for regulatory compliance and acquisition of spectrum use rights may be determined.
