Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for data-driven network roll-out planning. A mobile network that includes at least one sector with a plurality of cells may be rolled-out using carrier aggregation. The carrier aggregation based rolling out includes gathering data from a plurality of network counters associated with two or more cells of the at least one sector; detecting a network congestion situation (Cs), based on a minimal throughput level and an aggregate cumulative distribution function (CDF), where the aggregate CDF is based on the plurality of network counters; identifying one or more cells effecting the congestion situation among the two or more cells; and determining for each of the identified one or more cells whether a capacity or coverage pain point is associated with the congestion situation.
