Simulation of GSM Mobile Networks Planning Using ATOLL Planning Tool
Reshma Begum Shaik, T.Krishna Chaitanya
Abstract – This project involves hands-on simulation exercise on planning of RF network with the help of Atoll planning software tool. The main aim of radio network planning is to provide a cost effective solution for the radio network in terms of coverage, capacity and quality. Utilizing the available limited bandwidth very preciously so as to cater to millions in a vast area with good quality, coverage, and without interference using ATOLL planning tool is the cream of this project.

data services with vastly improved spectral efficiencies through the HSDPA feature. to realize n/w efficiencies and to reduce the cost of delivering traffic and can provide wireless traffic routing flexibility. II. RADIO NETWORK PLANNING Achieving maximum capacity while maintaining an acceptable grade of service and good speech quality is the main issue for the network planning. Planning an immature network with a limited number of subscribers is not the real problem. The difficulty is to plan a network that allows future growth and expansion. Wise re-use of site location in the future network structure will save money for the operator.  Various Steps in Planning Process: Planning means building a network able to provide service to the customers wherever they are. This work can be simplified and structured in certain steps. The steps are,

I. INTRODUCTION This GSM radio network planning is to provide a cost-effective solution for the radio network in terms of coverage, capacity and quality. Band width is a scarce natural resource. The bandwidth has to be managed for
