A patent application (Publication Number: US20240040396A1) outlines a method for defining a telecommunications network deployment in a specific geographic region. The method involves determining the population density of user equipment (UEs) in the region and dividing it into sub-regions based on this density. For each sub-region, the performance of the network is simulated to explore various configurations for access nodes connecting UEs to the network. The optimal configuration is then selected for deployment, tailored to the population density of the sub-region.

The method includes receiving historical or estimated UE population density data for the region, using this data to estimate the total number of UEs and their locations. The sub-regions are divided based on consistent population density, with configurations specifying the number and spacing of access nodes. The patent also covers a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions for executing the method, including steps for determining population density, dividing the region into sub-regions, simulating network performance, and selecting the best access node configuration. This innovative approach allows for efficient and customized deployment of telecommunications networks based on population density, ensuring optimal performance and coverage in different areas within a geographic region.
