Remark
(1) The mapping relationship of Channel Elements consumption

for each bearer is based on Uplink 2-way diversity
(2) In the case of uplink 4-way diversity, the CE consumption is
shown below:

PS384k 16
(3) Detailed and recently updated data should be referred to the
newest issued notice of "UMTS RAN Product Specificaiton".
(4) It is noted that the CE mapping for each R99 bearer is much
different from the air interface load caused by each connection of
the R99 bearers, for instance:
--- One CS64k connection will cause nearly 6 times of uplink cell
load resource of one voice 12.2k.
--- From the base band resource consumption point of view, one
CS64k occupies 3 channel elements while one AMR12.2k needs 1
channel element.
Remark
Need extra CE resources for soft handover
(1) NG-NodeB 3836 does not need extra CE for softer HO

(2) Ntoed: BBU3806 consumes extra CE for softer HO
(1) Extra CEs reserved for CCH, cost free for operators.
(2) The CEs for CCH are separated from R99.
(3) For one NodeB with 3 cells, 6 CEs are reserved in uplink and
15 CEs reserved in downlink.
No need extra CE resource for TX diversity
No need extra CE resource for Compressed Mode because of

reserved CE resources for Compressed Mode
Remark
(1) Separate dedicated module processing HSDPA Traffic so
HSDPA traffic does not occupy any R99 CE resource.
(2) HS-DSCH and HS-SCCH does not affect base band capacity for
R99 services.
(1) PS64k is recommended to bear uplink user data, TCP
acknowledgement and signaling.
(2) One PS64k consumes 3 CE in uplink.
One HSDPA user requires 1 CE due to DL signaling control.
Remark
(1) max data rate in PHY. Layer: 35 kbps

(2) The CE resource for HSUPA has considered and included the
CE consumption of A-DCH and E-DPCCH
(3) Phase 1: E-DPCCH consumes 1 CE, A-DCH consumes 1 CE

(1) max data rate in PHY. Layer: 0.72 Mbps


Remark
(1) ATM bandwidth includes FP overhead, AAL2 overhead and

ATM overhead.
(2) IP bandwidth includes the overhead in three aspects, that is,
FP overhead, IP overhead and PPP overhead.
(3) For voice service, IP bandwidth is ~10% lower than that of
ATM transmission. For all of the other services such as CS64k and
packet data, IP transmission can save ~20% bandwidth in Iub
interface compared to ATM case.
Remark
(1) ATM bandwidth includes FP, AAL2 and ATM overhead.

(2) IP bandwidth includes FP, IP and PPP overhead.
(3) PACH and FACH is beared on S-CCPCH. SCCPCH will be 73
kbps in ATM case and 70 kbps in IP case if only one FACH is
configured in one cell.

Remark
Power configuration for each R99 bearer is determined by:

--- Scenario, and site to site distance
--- Operators' strateagy, e.g. configuring a larger power for
each R99 bearer in the initial phase of the network to
guarantee the users' experience.
Remark
(1) CPICH power is generally configured as 10% of cell power.
--- CPICH power 33dBm if cell power 43dBm.
(2) CPICH keeps transmitting power.
PSCH data is the initial 256chips in one slot
SSCH data is the initial 256chips in one slot
PCCPCH data is the last 2304chips in one slot
The activity factor for SCCPCH is closely related to the traffic of

PCH/FACH in the cell.
The activity factor for AICH is closely related to the network

load. In the worst case the activity factor is 100%.
The activity factor for PICH is closely related to the network

load. In the worst case the activity factor is 100%.
Remark
(1) RSCP threshold is the ourdoor signal level, which has taken
into account the indoor coverage requirement.

Antennae and Feeders Strategies

Cases Recommendation
(1) Outdoor macro cells
--- First Priority: recommended to use independent
Antenna for UMTS network
Antenna Sharing for
--- Second Priority: Sharing antenna with 4-port
3G and 2G interface which allows to adjust downtilt independently.
(2) Indoor DAS system
--- Recommended to share the existing antennae
(1) Outdoor macro cells

Feeders Sharing for --- Not recommended to share feeders with GSM
3G and 2G (2) Indoor DAS system
--- Recommended to share the existing feeders
Remark
(1) The usage of TMA depends on the cable loss between
RRU and antenna. It is strongly recommended that RRU
should be installed near antenna to save feeder loss.
(2) In urban scenario, cel radius is much smaller and capacity
is the main issue to focus on for network planning.
(3) In SU or rural scenario, cell range is much larger and
coverage is more important than capacity requirement.
(1) RF repeater is prohibited to use in urban scenario.

(2) Fibre repeater can be selected to use but only in some
specail conditions, e.g., basements where its signal can be
controlled not to leak out.
It is recommended to select narrow beam width (vertical).
(1) BBU+RRU is widely used in the existing commercial

network because of its flexible deployment and cost saving.
(2) RRU can be installed on a mast, on a tower, on a wall, on
the rooftop, or in the equipment room.
Remark
Using the second carrier can avoid the intra-frequency

interference and greatly increase the system capacity.
It should be carefully designed to control the coverage range

of the micro cells in order to decrease the interferece to its
neighboring cells.
(1) In Urban scenario, system capacity increases slightly even

if a larger cell power is employed.
(2) In ultra coverage scenario, increase DL cell power can
improve downlink coverage.
Remark
(1) Sharing Antenna for 3G/2G will make 3G optimization
much more difficult because it will be impossible to adjust the
azimuth which is ready for existing 2G system.
(2) For indoor DAS system, 3G system can fully reuse the
existing 2G feeders and antennas. It should be noted that the
existing 2G antennae should support UMTS band.
(1) RRU can be installed near antenna therefore it is generally

not needed to consider sharing the existing feeders.
(2) For indoor DAS system, 3G system can fully reuse the
existing 2G feeders.
