- Cellular Consultants analysis reveals enchancment of 1 dB in RSRP modeling precision can improve RAN capability by 24% enabling operators to defer deployment of hundreds of 5G-NR base stations yearly
- AI/ML-based RAN planning and design optimization results in discount of the variety of base stations with out impacting the person expertise
Paris, France – July seventh, 2022 – Infovista, the worldwide chief in community lifecycle automation (NLA), at the moment introduced the findings of a report commissioned from Cellular Consultants which reveals how improved modeling precision in RAN planning and design optimization can drive vital CAPEX financial savings for cell operators by both growing RAN capability or deferring funding in extra spectrum and radio gear. Cellular Consultants calculates {that a} 1 dB enchancment in RSRP modeling precision, might save a nationwide U.S. cell community roughly $2 billion over a 10-year interval via a discount within the variety of base stations and smalls cells deployed.
The report, Correct RAN Planning Saves Billions, calculates the influence of accuracy in subtle 3D modeling to foretell the RSRP (reference sign obtained energy) at every location. Cellular Consultants’ modeling reveals how, in a nationwide community, 1 dB larger precision in RSRP results in roughly 0.4 bps/Hz general enchancment in spectral effectivity; with the identical numbers of radios and the identical antennas, that is the equal of a 24% improve of capability.

Joe Madden, founder and lead analyst at Cellular Consultants stated: “RAN planning instruments have advanced into RAN optimization options that use a steady cycle to ship most return on the CAPEX invested. RAN Planning has additionally grow to be instrumental to enhancing high quality of expertise, which minimizes churn. AI/ML-based, data-driven prediction engines have gotten the de-facto normal to ship the accuracy required and make sure the optimum community design is arrived at.”
“Our analysis clearly reveals the fabric influence accuracy in RAN planning and design optimization can have on capability efficiency and CAPEX. In our years of expertise with cell radio networks, we now have not often seen any product that has such a big effect on the monetary efficiency of the community. Any cell community deployment will profit from cloud-native, environment friendly and built-in planning options, whether or not they’re launching a model new 5G community or making ready for brand new Community Slicing enterprise choices on the present community,” Madden continued.
The report outlines how improved accuracy in RAN planning can ship extra capability and cut back CAPEX spending. Whereas operators can’t get the complete good thing about each enhancements on the similar time, they will select a place that takes benefit of each advantages to some extent. Cellular Consultants believes that the majority operators will select to concentrate on improved RSRP precision for larger capability, at the very least within the city areas, with a view to handle peak capability limitations that may be a difficulty in LTE and 5G networks and result in dissatisfied prospects. Higher RAN planning, Cellular Consultants argues, is a reasonable technique to enhance capability and High quality of Service (QoS), lowering buyer churn that ties on to misplaced income.
Regis Lerbour, VP Product & R&D, RAN Engineering, Infovista stated: “The complexity, price and scale of the 5G community is already a big problem, and solely growing. From deploying nationwide networks past preliminary metropolis deployments to dynamically sharing LTE and NR spectrum, implementing 5G community slicing or constructing personal cell networks, 5G RAN planning should be constructed on each correct real-world knowledge at the moment and predictive fashions of the longer term. This analysis by Cellular Consultants clearly reveals that there’s not only a enterprise case for correct RAN planning, there’s a enterprise necessity for it. Infovista’s AI-powered RF planning resolution, Planet is the driving drive of innovation on this area, with current breakthroughs resulting in extra correct and environment friendly community planning and optimization.”
Rakuten Cellular Chief Expertise Officer, Sharad Sriwastawa stated: “Rakuten Cellular is implementing a cloud-native “on-demand” radio community planning resolution with Infovista that permits our engineering groups to make the most of superior planning and design options devised to effectively cut back the time and value of community planning and deployment, via intensive automation”.
Concerning the report
The report calculates the enterprise influence of a 1 dB enchancment in RSRP precision by changing the RSRP error into SINR influence, translating SINR influence into spectral effectivity influence, and estimating the capability and value of community deployment over 5 frequency bands, together with macro, large MIMO, and small cells.
