Planning considerationsPlanning considerations

Producing a digital plan– Complex, multi-dimensional project–Many technical inputs• Minimum signal levels• Protection ratios• Type of reception, etc….

– No single and universal solution

Frequency planningFrequency planning

Important field strengths –Wanted field strength, inside coverage

area– Outgoing interference FS, areas outside

the coverage area– Incoming or Nuisance field strength

Dakar, Senegal 25-29 April 2005

In developing the digital planIn developing the digital plan

Use representative criteria and parameters

Ensure flexibility for future demands– Conversion between reception modes• Fixed to portable and mobile reception

– Network configuration• Evolution from MFN to SFN
