Distinguish between the permanent splitting and dynamic splitting?

4. Distinguish between the permanent splitting and dynamic splitting?

There are two kinds of cell-splitting techniques:

1. Permanent splitting: The installation of every new split cell has to be planned ahead of time; the number of channels, the transmitted power, the assigned frequencies, the choosing of the cell-site selection, and the traffic load consideration should all be considered. When ready, the actual service cut over should be set at the lowest traffic point, usually at midnight on a weekend. Hopefully, only a few calls will be dropped because of this cut-over, assuming that the downtime of the system is within 2 h.

2. Dynamic splitting: This scheme is based on using the allocated spectrum efficiency in real time. The algorithm for dynamically splitting cell sites is a tedious job, as we cannot afford to have one single cell unused during cell splitting at heavy traffic hours.
