Abstract

This paper presents the followed strategy in the planning, integration and optimization of a group of Home Node Bs (HNBs) in an office environment. Firstly, a brief description of the HNB technology is set, being displayed the necessary characteristics for the operation of a cluster of fern to-cells. Network planning is done through the use of the tool TEMS^® Transmitter, used in the field to determine the number of needed HNBs, as well as their location within the building. Finally, a configuration test is presented, focusing on the main parameters that enable installed HNBs to achieve the desired coverage area (higher than 95%).
