Sumario:This thesis is intended to study the deployment of 5G NR in different scenarios or cases using the professional radio planning tool called Atoll. The first case is to improve an existing LTE network in a region of Barcelona by placing it a 5G NR network on top that will improve the performance of the first. In the second case study, it is intended to cover the same region using a 4G/5G network at the same time as carrying out a coverage of a mass concert taking place in a small area of the region. The results in terms of users rejected by the network have been very satisfactory and in terms of capacity per user have been mostly satisfactory except in two specific services. In the conclusion, these results are discussed, the limitations of this work are explained and lines of future development are proposed.
