Hi,
This may be a really weird question, however, I will still ask :)
What is the best way RF engineers normally consider when they start placing the sites in a certain area (initial dimensioning in nominal planning stage). I mean you start the network planning application, you have a digital map in front of you. Link budgets in your hand. You have roughly estimated the cell radius from the link budget by using one of the empirical propagation model (most commonly Okumura-Hata), you have the antenna line configuration data with you. You know that you are going to use one of the tesselation (say Hexagonal, or triangle or square, clover leaf whatever). So....umm..how to proceed. Should we start from the middle of the map or ..... top to bottom, left to right???? Every engineer has his own style of doing it ?????
Please explain :)
Thanks alot
