<h1>Planning parameters in Dual Band network </h1>

<p>The challenges of the actual parameter planning of a multi-vendor
network are largely dependent on the complexity of the network configuration
and structure. When simpler and uniform structures like continuous GSM 1800/1900
coverage is used, these challenges are greatly reduced.  The main DB specific
parameters to be defined are the following:</p>


<ul>
<li><p>Neighbour cell definitions</p>
</li>
<li><p>Parameters for traffic management between
the layers (idle and dedicated mode)</p>
</li>
</ul>


<p>An issue to take into account is the management of the
parameters of the neighbouring cells implemented with different equipment
and of different vendors. The cell adjacencies in both cells need to be matched
to each other. Without a proper network management solution this is not possible,
hence the potential for mismatch and errors exist, particularly when re-tuning
the network.</p>

<h2>Defining
neighbour cells</h2>

<p>There are basically four ways how the neighbour cell definition
can be done:</p>


<ul>
<li><p>Manually (most practical in the simple
NW structure)</p>
</li>
<li><p>Neighbour generation in the planning
tool (NetAct Planner, automatic transfer to the network)</p>
</li>
<li><p>Neighbour generation by using a network
measurement tool (TIM, TOM)</p>
</li>
<li><p>Fully Integrated network configuration
management using the Nokia Configuration Data Warehouse. </p>
</li>
</ul>
