Abstract
Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks are designed with overlap between cells to support mobility along the network cells and to avoid out of coverage area; especially in suburban and rural area because high mobility. The overlapping results in interferences which reduce network capacity so this paper aims to bring customer demands for high-quality networks. This paper involves a good understanding of radio network planning and optimization of LTE and perform a case study in Taiz governorate with a selected suburban and rural area of 86.846 km2. Self-organizing networks (SONs) are widely considered to improve the end users’ quality of experience. The simulation was performed using ATOLL software. The radio frequency (RF) optimization involves Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC). The downlink (DL) LTE coverage area is enhanced and increased to 84 km2 with probability of 97%. In addition, the overlapping zone is reduced to 0.4% and the block error rate (BLER ≥ 0.2) is reduced to 2.1% in the DL and (BLER ≥ 0.2) to 0.6% in the uplink (UL).
