Optimization Optimization ConstraintsConstraints
Optimization Constraints • Parameters
• Power • Antenna type • Antenna azimuth • Antenna tilt
14
• Antenna tilt • 3-ways antennas
(e-tilt, e-azimuth and e-bandwidth)
• Range• Cost per change• Tabular Editor can be
used for global editing
Optimization Constraints
Antenna Synchronization• Three dual-beam
antennas to be used by six sectors
• Dual-beam antennas physically linked to each other
15
physically linked to each other
• Important to consider such synchronization in Radio Planning and Automatic Cell Planning tool Dual-Beam Antenna
6-Sector Configuration
Antenna Optimization Constraints• Ability to define azimuth constraints between pairs
of antenna systems

Spectral Efficiency• Unique to Mentum
Planet ACP• Optimization of the
Data rate distribution• Optimization of the
21
• Optimization of the overall system capacity
• More optimal than using a single C/(N+I) threshold
Spectral Efficiency Curves
Capacity• Does not optimize
capacity• Goal to have sector
loads as close as possible to user-defined “target load”
22
possible to user-defined “target load”
• Sectors with low or high loads => high cost
• Sectors with “target load” => low cost
