RNP&O Service
There are four phases during network lifecycle: Pre-Bidding, Bidding,
Implementation, Maintenance
The RNP&O services are present throughout the network lifecycle,
divided by four parts: Scheme Traction, Radio Network Planning
(including Nominal Planning, Site Selection, Detail Planning), Radio
Networking Optimization (including Initial Tuning, Network
Performance Improvement), On-going

CW Test and Propagation Model Tuning (Optional)
The Propagation model is the basis of the network planning. Whether the model is
effectual or not affects the planning result, and it also decides whether we can meet the
requirement with economic and proper investment.

Attention:
For years development, the company
has a model library. It is recommended to
obtain the model from the model library.
For the requirement from the customers,
we can choose the typical area and have a
CW test. The model Tuning is base on the
test result.

Through the dimensioning, we can perform a quantitative analysis and
get the construction scale for the network. Thus, the construction period, as
well as the cost budget is worked out.

Key points:
Network input parameters, RND documents and the result.
THE RADIO NETWORK DIMENSIONING REPORT
should be reviewed before it is submit to the customer.
Attention:
If the customer can not provide the input parameters,
refer to the company planning principle to provide a set of
recommended values and submit to the customer for
confirmation.
For the improper input parameters, consult with the
customers. Besides, notify to the project team and the
result need to be gone through.

Attention:
For the matching site spots, record and confirm the
engineering parameters; for the ones unsuited, give
the replacing suggestion and perform the simulation
All the site spots which are failed to be survey by
customers cause should be recorded in the survey
memo.
For co-site RF survey, enough independence should
be considered.

Attention:
If the sites situation do not meet the
requirements, judgment should be taken to
determine whether to select a new site or not.
If the simulation result does not meet the
requirement. Survey and simulation should be
reworked until the target was fulfilled. Then,
we can output the NETWORK SIMULATION
