Advanced Approach to Improve GSM Network QoS with Automatic Frequency Planning
Abstract
Frequency spectrum is the scarce resource and need to be optimally used in Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) network. Every operator has a limited frequency band & operator has to plan the network with this limited band. There are various methods for frequency planning. This paper proposes an innovative approach for Automatic Frequency Planning (AFP) for an existing network. In this method, dummy network same as running network is created and then calculated its interference on the basis of allocated frequencies. After calculating interference, automatic new frequency plan proposes to improve exiting interference in network. The proposed approach replaces the current tedious and inaccurate manual process. With this overall GSM network performance & interference reduces significantly.
