Abstract
The requirements of higher data rate, l
network architecture evolves the third generation mobile
Generation (4G). Being part of 4G, Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the evolution of 3G
counterparts, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and Code division
multiple access (CDMA), to provide a seamless connectivi
(UE).
The advancement of wireless communication technologies and the increasing size of radio
network make the tasks of radio network planning more challenging and
attention has to be given for nominal and
the desired requirements after deployment. The nominal and detailed LTE radio network
planning involves consideration of basic network requirements in terms of coverage, capacity
and Quality of Service (QoS).
In this study, the importance of such basic requirements has been illustrated using
mathematical analysis as well as computer
radio network planning strategies to the operator and local practicing
planning area. The study considers Kirkos sub city in Addis Ababa,

result shows a better network coverage with an optimum network capacity can be achieved in
due consideration of network parameters starting from the nominal planning stage till the
detailed planning phases in combination of pre optimization requirements at the initial stage.
As there will be a similar need in the other part of the country, these findings can be used as
reference for new build as well as expansion of the existing LTE network in the future.
