A quantitative error analysis for mobile network planning

Many planning tools and algorithms are being developed to make network planning more powerful and efficient. Commonly, we need to do error analysis for the planning tools in order to evaluate them and thus improve the algorithms. This paper presents methods of quantitative error analysis for network planning. To do error analysis, drive test data are collected and then compared with planning results. In particular, the author discusses measurement requirement because it is considered that the accuracy of error analysis depends on the sampling data.
