Purpose:
guarantee UE can make handover smoothly to other cells

Conditions:
between the cells which have overlapping area
Signal strength is strong enough to make handover

Neighbour cell planning

Principles to configure manually neighbor cells:
Configure the co-site sectors as neighbor cells
Configure directly close cells by locations as neighbor cells Normally the neighbor relation should be bidirectional, single direction

neighbor only was applied in few special occasions

In dense urban and urban area, neighbor cells should be configure

more, but less than 31

In suburban and rural area, the possible neighbor relations should be

configured to guarantee the handover, even the distance between cells is big.
The priority is unnecessary

Example to configure manually neighbor cells:

Source cell
Co-site cells Cells face each other directly Cells by same direction Cells face each other through other cells

Tool:

-CNACell Neighbour Allocation)

Data Preparation:

We need to prepare the following data as the template under the folder \Input:
ATemplate of Cell Engineer parameter : cellinfo _ template .xls BPropagation Model file : propagation _ model .txt C: Antenna direction plot file : DEFAULT ,under the folder of AntennaPattern.

Scrambling planning steps :

Planning adjust The purpose of planning and adjust are : A)The scrambling allocation to all cells succeed; B)The scrambling allocated as fewer as possible,and the minimum reuse distance is as large as possible. We can adjust by modifying the parametessuch as A)allow/forbidden allocation scrambling set; B)Reuse distance; C)Neighbour relationship
