Inter System Coverage

This section of the report would include the coverage requirements needed
to provide contiguous coverage into another market. Specifically, this would
be applicable for an area of the system that, say, interfaces to another Basic
Trading Area (BTA), Metropolitan Trading Area (MTA), Cellular Geographic
Service Area (CGSA), or Rural Service Area (RSA) and the capability
to handle roaming traffic was desired.

The coverage objective here should define what the overlap should be in
terms of dB and where the coverage objective should be. A map indicating
the desired geographic areas would be directly applicable here. Also, any
comments with regards to the other system’s build program and coverage
objectives should be listed here also.

Link Budget
The calculations and assumptions that comprise the link budget need to be
included in this section. The link budget format shown in Tables 9-2 and 9-
3 should be utilized for this section.

Analysis
This is where the analysis conducted is put into the report. Issues that are
included pertain to the spectrum utilization, channels selected, and migration
strategy.

Summary of Requirements
This section is the end result of the design work and should include a summary
table that indicates the amount of capital, either in product and dollars
or just in product. 410
