Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for data-driven roll-out planning optimization. A network roll-out plan, for a network that includes a plurality of cells, may be generated by assessing at least one carrier aggregation (CA) scenario for a particular sector in the network, between two or more cells of the plurality of cells; detecting for the carrier aggregation (CA) scenario, a congestion situation based on probabilities of one or more possible cell connection configurations in the sector, and a predefined minimal throughput level; and assessing achievable data throughput for users in the sector. Cells within a sector where congestion primarily may occur may be identified, based on obtained data associated with the network. The identifying may include comparing at least one ratio of contribution between cells with a balancing ratio. It may be determined whether an identified cell is primarily affected by a coverage or a capacity issue.
