Simulation of 5G Dense-Urban Deployment at 3.5 GHz Frequency: A Case Study of Central Jakarta

The number of data service customers is expected to rise exponentially in Indonesia starting in 2021, making the current 4G cellular service quality inadequate. Therefore, before deploying 5G New Radio (NR), it is crucial to prepare the simulations to understand its performance. This can be done by determining the Maximum Allowable Path Loss (MAPL) and obtaining the signal strength level from the Synchronization Signal-Reference Signal Received Power (SS-RSRP) and the signal quality level from the Synchronization Signal-Signal Interference Noise Ratio (SS-SINR) of the mid-band 3.5 GHz frequency. This research aims to determine these values and simulate the results using a commercial network simulator software, Forsk Atoll V3.4, across the whole 52.38 square kilo-meters of dense-urban and the main economic area of Indonesia, Central Jakarta. An urban macro (UMa) propagation model based on the 3GPP TR 38.901 standard is utilized for uplink and downlink circumstances, each employing an Outdoor-to-Outdoor (O2O) Line of Sight (LOS) and a Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) scheme. The average values of the SS-RSRP and SS-SINR in the LOS scheme are −104.71 and 8.8 dB, respectively. Meanwhile, in the NLOS scheme, the SS-RSRP and SS-SINR average values are −87.03 dBm and 10.48 dB, respectively. The NLOS scheme shows superior performance than the LOS scheme.
