80 Site planning
For example, if floor 2 of an office tower is laid out with cubicle style offices
with a perimeter of enclosed offices, and floor 3 is designed and laid out in
the
exact same manner, both floors can have the exact same installation
profile for basestations.
All floors do not have the same layout If there are deviations in the
floor plan from floor to floor, use the critical point method to deploy each
distinct floor. For more information, see “Prepare the tool for deployment”
(page 54).
Note:
Do not underestimate the importance of changes in floor layout.
Simple changes in a room from a meeting room to a storage room can
have significant impact on the coverage from a basestation.
Multi floor coverage situations
The following situations require multi-floor coverage.
• “Atriums ” (page 80) .
•
“High rise buildings ” (page 81) .
•
“Unusual conditions ” (page 81) .
Use the multi floor coverage procedure, if required. for more information,
see “Gather building information” (page 24).
Atriums Cells in an atrium, as shown in Figure 47 "An atrium" (page
80), are usually larger than the cells of the rest of the building. This section
gives guidelines on how to plan an atrium. There are no precise steps
to follow if deploying an atrium, but there are points to consider. See
“Unusual conditions ” (page 81) .
