What type of algorithm is used in the optimization modules and what does that mean for me as a user?

Details of the optimisation modules in the Ranplan software

The optimization modules (ICO, IAO and IFO) all use heuristic algorithms to determine the results they provide. This means that the optimization modules will attempt to provide the best outcome based upon the restrictions or parameters provided by you, the user.

  • Intelligent Frequency Optimization (IFO): optimizes channel allocation and transmission power, reducing inter and intra network interference and signal leakage.
  • Intelligent Cell/Antenna Optimization (ICO/IAO)/ Automatic Cell Optimizer (ACO): automatically fine tune the location, number, transmit power, and antenna configuration of cells or individual antennas within a network to achieve KPIs.
  • Intelligent Topology Optimization (ITO)/Automatic Topology Optimizer (ATO): efficiently creates the optimal network topology by optimising the route of cables between the devices in each system and selection of components. Intelligent Network Profiler (INP): preset network system measurements such as signal strength, coverage, and leakage to analyse system  performance and optimise the network design.
