Abstract
[Placeholder abstract — replace with real abstract from PDF]. A comparative study of 4G LTE coverage planning across the 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, and 2100 MHz bands in Padang City, with measured Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) at representative urban sites and a link-budget analysis quantifying the cell-radius and base-station-count implications of each band choice.
Keywords: 4G LTE · coverage planning · frequency band · Padang
1. Introduction
[Placeholder — replace with the real Introduction. Typical framing: coverage planning is a primary cost driver in LTE network rollout; frequency-band choice is the primary lever for balancing coverage and capacity.]
2. Methods
[Placeholder — describe the measurement campaign, the survey sites chosen across Padang, the RSRP collection methodology, and the link-budget model used to estimate cell radius.]
3. Results
[Placeholder — present the measured RSRP distributions, the link-budget outputs (cell radius, required base-station count per km²), and the trade-off between coverage and capacity for each band.]
4. Discussion
[Placeholder — interpret the results in light of urban propagation theory. Discuss the role of 900 MHz for coverage, 1800/2100 MHz for capacity, and the implications for operator-side planning choices.]
5. Conclusion
[Placeholder — summarise the findings and recommend a band-allocation strategy for representative Padang urban cells.]
