Analysis of data in cell planning in terms of traffic analysis and grade of service (GOS) during Hari Raya 2009 at Eastern Malaysia / Zulkhairi Ali

The advancement in communication technology has witnessed by the developments of many different types of application. In communication system a lot of losses and issues are happen in term of capacity, coverage, cell planning, interference, and environment aspects. The analysis of data in term of traffic analysis and GoS is important to do cell planning. In this project we use Microsoft Access's software to create database system and also use Matlab's software to do analysis of traffic occurring before, during and after Raya. Database created to being easy to us to analysis the data in order to determine the performance of the mobile system and the need new implementation such as upgrading Transceiver (Trx card), provide new site, provide new band channel, or provide new BTS in congested area. The congested area is already identifying using data analysis by database system. After all the congested cell already identifying, recommendation of improvement to that cells which is has high utilization or high number of average block call will recommend. In the case where the utilization level cannot be upgraded anymore, propose of new site and if still congest then need to add services such as add 1800 band and if still congest also then the new base station has to be built. A residential area with high population is not necessary to have high traffic, but an area where high activities are carried out is identified to be the factor of increasing the block call.
