In this practical scenario, all the e-nodeBs parameters are fixed (transmitted power, antenna height, tilts). The above results shows the KPI coverage results with the Monte-Carlo simulator:

The Monte carlo simulator can also be used to optimize the e-nodeb configuration in order to improve the coverage and interference KPI s parameters. The Monte carlo simulator is able to calculate the KPI distribution over the UE population with taking into account the variability of the e-nodeB parameters especially the folowing: E E E E E E E Azimuth(), Electrical tilt() Antenna height (m) Percentage of transmit power dedicated to the RS signal Percentage of transmit power dedicated to the PDSCH signal Percentage of transmit power dedicated to the control channels Antenna type (transmission mode: Standard, MIMO SM, Tx Div , MISO, single antenna, SISO, SIMO, MU-MIMO)

For example, It is easy to check the impact in term of RSRQ(dB) and SNIR(PDSCH) when the electrical tilt applied for the e-nodeBs are between -4 and -8
