User's Manual

1. Deploy the external or outdoor areas first.
2. Deploy from one side of the coverage area, then deploy the opposite side of the
coverage area.
3. Finish by deploying the middle of the coverage area.
Follow these rules to prevent cell centres from clustering at one end of the site.
Check the floor plan to be sure that there are no areas where a handset in the required
coverage area can be outside the range of a cell centre.
Defining a cell typically takes 25 to 40 minutes.
Single-floor deployment
Deploying a single floor coverage area involves methods that apply to all other applications of
coverage. For multi-floor deployment, see Multiple floor deployment on page 102
.
Use one or all of the following methods of deploying cells.
When determining a cell centre, one or all of the following methods of deploying cells are used:
•
Single cell deployment on page 97 – covers the distance between two outside corners
at the end of a coverage area with one cell.
• Double cell deployment on page 99 – covers the distance between two outside corners
at the end of a coverage area with two cells.
• Multi cell deployment on page 100
– covers the distance between two outside corners
at the end of a coverage area with more than two cells.
Always begin with the single-cell method, because the range is not always known; therefore,
it is not known how many cells are needed to cover the area between the critical points.
Start at the short" side of the coverage area. First cover the corners, then the side between
those corners, and finally inward to the centre of the coverage area. Repeat the process for
the other end of the coverage area.
By deploying the site using this method, cell centres are distributed throughout the site. If the
site is deployed from one end to the other, cell centres can be clustered at one end of the
site.
Single cell deployment
Always start with the single-cell technique regardless of the width between the two critical
points. using this technique, one cell centre is found that serves two critical points, as shown
in
Figure 60: Single cell distance on page 98.
