Decision Process : Estimate Interference Levels

Step 10 : Estimate Interference Levels To estimate the interference level, follow the procedures in the Interference Concepts tutorial. After you estimate the interference level, you reach another decision point: Decision: Is the interference requirement satisfied? Based on the interference level you determine in this step, it becomes clear whether you need to continue through the flowchart, or if you have successfully ended the process for a particular cell. Following the example If we can only provide 23 channels instead of 24 (due to interference and/or frequency planning concerns) for our omni site, our grade of service may be 4% blocking. (24 - 23 = 1 then 1 / 24 = .041 or 4.1%). If this is an adequate trade-off, then everything is acceptable and you are finished with the Traffic Engineering Flowchart. However, given our 2% requirement, if we must be omni and only can provide 23 channels, the cell site's coverage area should be shrunk, so its load is not greater than this capacity. You need to continue to the next step: Reduce the Cell Area. Continue to Step 11: Reduce the cell area. or Click here to conclude the Decision Flowchart.
