Diseño y simulación de una red LTE (Long Term Evolution) para el norte de la ciudad de Quito mediante el software ICS-DESIGNER.

Abstract

In this project is performed the design and simulation of an LTE network using the ICS Designer software, used in the simulation and planning of wireless networks. In the first instance the architecture of an LTE network and the most important characteristics of the channels that conform are explained, the main features of the standard and the different access methods are also mentioned. For the design and simulation of the LTE network takes into account a work area located in northern Quito. As planning ICS Designer, the process for creating an LTE network is detailed in the software. Furthermore based on graph and data is performed an analysis of SNIR, RSRP and RSRQ parameters of the LTE network. For traffic analysis Monte Carlo statistical tool is used. Besides mechanical tilt optimization is performed to avoid coverage holes and analysis of the handover when a user follows a route while changing cell. Finally a design guide an LTE network is presented as an annex, which will serve as a reference for DETRI Research Laboratory.
