The Software Development for 5G New Radio Coverage Planning

A customer's needs for wideband wireless network connection are increasing every year. A fifth generation of cellular networks is actively expanding and growing. The 5G New Radio reveal a wide range of new services are introduced. Mostly, in some cases they are working on variable frequencies, from 0.5 to 100 GHz. To provide a convenient Quality of Service an operators and vendors are facing a problem with accurate coverage planning process. With the carrier frequency variety 5G could provide a lot of different possibilities for cell range. The software providing a solution for coverage planning automation and visualization is developed. The solution is capable to get the Earth surface properties (like mountains, hills, plains etc.), an information about locality (number of floors, floor height, street properties, parks, etc.). The information is useful for channel model selection and radio propagation models correction. The software is able to visualize the data on actual map. The result shows more accurate and graphically convenient coverage planning dimensioning than theoretical predictions.
