In this book, feasible LTE-Advanced deployment options are developed using scenario planning method. Following, TERA Techno-economic Analysis framework and methodologies are investigated and modified to evaluate possible LTE-Advanced deployment scenarios techno-economically assuming 6 years study period and 10% discount rate. In the framework market analysis and LTE-Advanced radio network dimensioning performed using COST-231Hata model; existing LTE traffic, standard and demography analysis is conducted for macro and small cells, respectively. In addition, the required bandwidth for the study period is forecasted and determined.
