Femto Strategy

[mobilink999]

Dear Members,
Can Someone kindly share Femto Cell Deployment strategy. Any document or example from operator will be helpful. Esp in terms of freq planing guidelines.....
Thanks for your support!!

you won't need frequency planning for femto. they will mostly be deployed indoors and will not affect (too much) the 3g outdoor network.

Thnx Marko!! I understand ur point. But what if we have two WCDMA carriers. Dont u thnk we can somehow effectively manage intereference if we isolate Femto cells frm outdoor 3G or is it worthless effort. Kindly shed some light.....

If you have 10 mhz and use only 5 in your network, of course you can use the other 5 for femto.
First : signal coverage can't be performed on femtos (at a macro level) because you don't know WHERE they will be deployed, so you can't really predict c/i if they are in the same band
2nd : I haven't heard of wcdma freq planning, maybe code planning :)

that's my 2c, maybe someone else has other ideeas.
If I find something more , I'll pm.
good luck.
