Introduction

There are numerous challenges, both from a business and a technical

perspective, when designing and implementing indoor coverage solutions. Indoor

radio planners carry a major responsibility for the overall business case and

performance of the network. In many countries 80% of users are inside buildings,

and providing high-performance indoor coverage, especially on higher data rates,

is a challenge. It is much more than a technical challenge; the business case must

also be evaluated, as well as future-proofing of the solutions implemented, among

other considerations.

Why is In-building Coverage Important?

There are many reasons for the mobile operator, both technical and commercial,

for providing sufficient in-building coverage. The technical motivations are typical;

lack of coverage, improvement of service quality, need for more capacity, need for

higher data rates and to offload the existing macro network. In 3G (UMTS)

networks, the need to offload the existing macro network is an especially important

parameter. The need for higher-speed data rates inside buildings also plays an

important factor. It is evident that you will need dedicated in-building (IB) solutions

to provide high-speed data service on UMTS and especially when deploying

HSDPA/HSUPA high-speed data services.

However, even the most hardcore technical RF design engineer must realize that

the main driver for any mobile network operator must be to increase the revenue

factor. The purpose is to maximize the revenue of the network and to lower the

production cost of the traffic. The cost of producing a call minute (CM) is a crucial


3/12


factor for the mobile operator, and so is the production cost per Mb of data

transmitted in the network.

Objectives

- Determine the cost estimation to one activity for in-building coverage

project.

- Explain how the cost estimation inputs influence the activity’s cost.

Assumptions

- Assume that the company has a clear forecast to the further projects.

- The company has their own templates, like a site survey reports.

- The company has their own commercial data base with the employee

salaries ranges.

- The overheads costs are not included in cost estimates because it is not aone of the project manager’s tasks as defined in the company’s policy.

- The employee skills are defined before the start of project.

- One of the project scope statements is using genuine programs, and

calibrated equipment.

Cost Estimating Methodology

Costing is important because it provides a quantified basis for defining poverty

reduction strategies and programs, as well as for forecasting resource gaps and

needs, and for mobilizing additional resources, either internally or externally. While

it is usually not possible to obtain reliable cost estimates for the long-term, costing

is essential for coordinating the national budget and aid allocations with the

prioritized development goals. The price tag and the financing plan of the programs

or projects can only be ascertained meaningfully within a short-to-medium time

horizon.

There are several common costing methodologies, and they all have their

usefulness in specific situations. However, no one single methodology is

appropriate for every situation. All cost estimates must be interpreted with caution

and scrutinized carefully. Nobody should be utterly confident of their precision. In

short, there is no universally robust or best way of costing programs or projects.

Since it is better to be broadly right than to be precisely wrong, cost estimates are

sometimes best seen as orders of magnitude, expressed as a range rather than a

single figure.

The determine resource cost rates is the methodology that used to estimate the

costs.

Project scope statement

95% of building’s area should be covered with a signal strength not less than

-85dBm.

Project Management Plan

Schedule management plan

The project schedule is the roadmap for how the project will be executed.

Schedules are an important part of any project as they provide the project team,

sponsor, and stakeholders a picture of the project’s status at any given time. The

purpose of the schedule management plan is to define the approach the project

team will use in creating the project schedule.

Staffing Management Plan

The Staffing Plan defines the required human resources needed to deliver the

desired project deliverables. It involves the selection and assignment of a Project

Team. The Staffing Plan must provide the appropriate skill sets to manage the

project and to perform the tasks that produce the specified project deliverables. It

also needs to provide for any additional non-labor resources such as tools,

equipment, or processes used by the project team.

Risk Register

Risk register lists all identified risks that may affect the project. It should be as

comprehensive as possible to include all identifiable items that have probability

of occurrences and generally includes estimated probability of the risk event to

occur, severity or possible impact of the risk, probable timing and anticipated

frequency.

Conclusion

- The clear forecast of the further projects helps us to decide to buy iBwave

program which is the design software instead of designing the project using

third party.

- Using the templates mitigate the mistakes and help to reduce the cost.

- By using genuine programs, and calibrated equipment influence the cost

estimate and this is one of the cost estimates inputs which is project scope

statements constraints.

- Determine the employees’ salaries influencing the cost estimates as a one of

the enterprise environmental factors.

- WBS helps to get the estimation of the project more accurate.

- By taking the inputs of cost estimates into account, resulting the ability to

determine the cost estimates to the project.
