Abstract: The present disclosure provides the planning of the next generation network which complements an existing telecom deployment to achieve the desired KPIs from the combined network for both macro and small cell planning in an existing network in a cost-effective method to deploy ODSC cells and Macro Cells in a heterogeneous network. Planning a next-generation network for an existing telecom operator is a large undertaking, utilizing precious man-hours and most importantly, weeks of work. Using an automated planning methodology to plan macro and small cells for a region like a city, state or even country, planners can deploy solutions to make the most optimum use of existing infrastructure. The invention proposes an automated approach to plan the preferred overlay telecom solutions in an area A being part of an existing telecom deployment.
