i would like to make PCI planning for a small area for my graduation project , we are using :
- 2 carrier aggregation for each sector (each are n78 carriers).
- 16T16R MIMO.
- each carrier is 100Mhz.
- 3 sectors per site.
i have read about all PCI clashes problems like PCI mod3, mod6 and so on , also i read about different techniques like regular step technique ex:(4,6,8,…) in pci.
i have some questions ??
-
first of all does MIMO affects this technique of planning ??
-
secondly, is it right for every carrier within same sector to take different PCI or they must take different PCIs?? what is the difference ?!
-
lastly i attached a table for my configurations is it right ?? i tried to avoid any clashes either between carriers within the same sectors and also for co-site sectors and neighbor sites.
also i tried to use Atoll AFP planning tool to help me .
