The LTE RAN planning is a very vital step for a wireless communication technology. The creation of a network is not an instantaneous process; it typically goes stage by stage. In this article (first part) an optimization model for the LTE RAN network planning problem is described. Рarameters such as requirements, the cost of installation and usage of equipment, the specific income from providing services may change over time in the given optimization model. The analysis of experiment's results showed that formulation of the problem, which is shown above and presented as a problem of MILP, allows to obtain the correct solutions from the practical point of view. Comparison of the operator's profit during the single-period and multi-period planning showed that usage of multi-period planning increase the profit margin to 12% more than the single-period planning
