Abstract
To accommodate the increasing mobile user data rate demand, various capacity enhancing technologies have been developed and incorporated in enhanced fourth generation (4G) and fifth generation technology standards. For mobile operators, to achieve user satisfaction and then a successful business, planning and using the advanced antenna techniques in a cost effective manner is important. To that end, the planning work needs to accurately consider spatiotemporal distribution of user demand, propagation characteristics of the planning area and existing network capability and configuration. Although benefits of advanced antenna techniques are researched well, approaches to exploit their benefits in a cost-effective way considering realistic network environment is rarely reported. In this article, we present a practical multi-objective based FD MIMO antenna placement for enhanced 4G mobile network. We use Matlab to implement the proposed method and performance comparisons are performed considering 1800 MHz and C-band. Performance results show that the proposed method that can be applied for gradual deployment can be achieved considering the trade-off between users satisfaction and cost while maximizing aggregate throughput. It is observed that, implementing 3D vertical sectors in all sites with different operating band provides up to 319.93% aggregate system capacity gain compared to the existing macro only horizontal sectorized antenna configuration.
