Vodafone RADIO NETWORK PLANNING GUIDELINES 2009

[primig]

Despite the age, still a nice doc which shows the levels & methods used by one of the big mobile providers - if anyone has a newer version, or from another provider, please share!

This document lists out various radio network guidelines in planning, performance enhancement, optimization, efficiencies (capax & opex.) to be adhered to all VF-IN circles with NSN BSS equipment. Any deviation from these guidelines would require specific approvals.
