Optimal mobile network planning of greenfield or new networks and continuous optimization of existing networks are the key requirements for an operator to maintain Quality of Service (QoS) and improve Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). With various conflicting parameters involved in optimization process, the planning and optimization problem become NP-hard; a real time solution is not possible. To facilitate planning and optimization for an operator, we design a tool which implements a simple and robust joint technique using Clustering and Cooperative Game Theoretic algorithms to obtain near-optimal real time solution. Using our tool, we demonstrate that we can plan new networks effectively and also improve the performance of existing networks substantially.
