Hi jbada,

I assume that you work for either an operator or a vendor (don't think anybody plan just for fun
As such you'll have access to a planning tool. Any of the tools on the market are able to do the PCI planning, some better than others. If you don't have a planning tool, you should search the forum for one, I personally recommend Atoll.
PCI planning takes in account the coverage areas, so it's better to do it with a planning tool, than using a MI or excel tool.
