Mobile and wireless networks have
experienced unprecedented growth in recent years. It
involves the deployment of several successive generations
of Telecommunications networks essentially dedicated to
telephony (2G: Second Generation), then more oriented
towards multimedia (3G: Third Generation), 4G/LTE
(Long Term Evolution) designed to meet high speed and
5G (Fifth Generation) is aiming much higher and
operators around the world are currently preparing for
the arrival of this new generation. 4G (Fourth
Generation) brings a real increase in terms of speed and
allows interoperability with other mobile networks. This
is how the historic operator of Telecommunications in
Cameroon, CAMTEL (Cameroon Telecommunications)
in order to meet the ever-increasing demand of users,
undertakes to implement a new technology capable of
responding to the continuous growth of traffic, with a low
latency, better reliability and better spectral efficiency
compared to the initial technology which was not
successful. This article is about proposing solutions to
optimize areas with low coverage of the LTE (Long Term
Evolution) network in the city of Yaoundé, the capital of
Cameroon. For that, we have to analyse the data collected
in order to see the network status and subsequently
identify the areas not covered that will require
intervention.
