Generic enhanced capacity dimensioning of cell sites in a 5G standalone O-RAN network

A system for capacity dimensioning of cell sites for a target service area in a wireless communication network, the target service area having a set of sub-areas comprising one or more sub-areas, each sub-area associated with a service area type, the system comprising:

• a memory that stores one or more computer readable media that include instructions;
• and
• one or more processor devices configured to execute the instructions of the computer readable media to:
• for each sub-area in the set of sub-areas:
• receive a first set of inputs associated with the sub-area comprising a subscriber amount and forecast, one or more subscriber classes, a traffic mix end model, and a simulated busy hour data volume and a second set of inputs associated with the sub-area comprising an area size probability, a site area, a propagation model, and a maximum allowable path loss;
• receive a site capacity;
• determine a total traffic estimation based on the first set of inputs;
• determine a total coverage estimation based on the second set of inputs;
• determine a number of capacity sites based on the total traffic estimation and the site capacity;
• determine a number of coverage sites based on the total coverage estimation;
• and
• determine a number of cell sites for the sub-area in the target service area based on the number of capacity sites and the number of coverage sites;
• generate a report comprising at least the number of cell sites for each sub-area in the target service area;
• and
• deploying one or more cell sites of the number of cell sites for each sub-area in the target service area.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by an electronic processor, perform a set of functions, the set of functions comprising:

• for each sub-area associated with a target service area in a wireless communication network, each sub-area having an associated service area type:
• receiving a first set of inputs associated with the sub-area comprising a subscriber amount and forecast, one or more subscriber classes, a traffic mix end model, and a simulated busy hour data volume and a second set of inputs associated with the sub-area comprising an area size probability, a site area, a propagation model, and a maximum allowable path loss;
• receiving a site capacity;
• determining a total traffic estimation based on the first set of inputs;
• determining a total coverage estimation based on the second set of inputs;
• determining a number of capacity sites based on the total traffic estimation and the site capacity;
• determining a number of coverage sites based on the total coverage estimation;
• and
• determining a number of cell sites for the sub-area in the target service area based on the number of capacity sites and the number of coverage sites;
• generating a report comprising at least the number of cell sites for each sub-area in the target service area;
• and
• deploying one or more cell sites of the number of cell sites for each sub-area in the target service area.
