  Multi-tenancy allows diverse agents sharing the infrastructure in the 5 th
generation of mobile networks. Such a feature calls for more automated and
faster planning procedures in order to adapt the network capacity to the
varying traffic demand. To achieve these goals, Small Cells offer network
providers more flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solutions compared to
macrocell deployments. This paper proposes a novel framework for cell planning
in multi-tenant Small Cell networks. In this framework, the tenant's contracted
capacity is translated to a set of detailed planning specifications over time
and space domains in order to efficiently update the network infrastructure and
configuration. Based on this, an algorithm is proposed that considers different
actions such as adding/removing channels and adding or relocating small cells.
The proposed approach is evaluated considering the deployment of a new tenant,
where different sets of planning specifications are tested.
