Installation Control

On sites team was supported

by back office team. They
check RF installation directly
with engineer on site.
On site team only leave site
after confirmed installation
correctly.

Installation Cell Planning

Notice while antenna installation:

1. 4G Azimuth should be the same or nearly with existing 3G azimuth (to
cover resident and high way)
2. Tilt calculation based on tool Kathrein.

Installation Cell Planning

One sites need to verify location

carefully before planning, because it
affects to antenna installation info.
Beside, it also affect to sites nearby.

Installation Cell Planning

Note with suburban areas, 4G and

3G coverage should overlapping.
Otherwise, it affects to CSFB to
access voice services.

Cell Data Design Description
Site Name
The NE names must be free of special characters (including '<', '>', '!', '?', and '^'), two and above blanks, and two and above
%. Ensure that each eNodeB name is unique on the network
Site Name: 2G = 3G = 4G. Ex: If GSM/UMTS site name is “AGCD01”, LTE site name is “AGCD01”.Each eNodeB name is unique
on the network
Site ID eNodeB ID = 3G Site ID = 2G Site ID

CellID

PCI
From 0…503. Macro: 0…449. IBS: 450-503. The value of PCI MOD 3 should be 0, 1, or 2 in each eNodeB
Freq Band 1800 FDD
Bandwidth(MHz) 15MHz, 20Mhz
DLEarfcn 1501
TM 2T2R
TAC Used for paging. Urban areas: 150–300 eNodeBs/3–10 Ta, Suburban and rural areas: 200–580 eNodeBs/3–12 Ta
Min Root Sequence Index 0-820

Cell Parameter Planning – Cell Power Dimensioning

In LTE the cell max output power is not directly configurable but is mainly related to the following parameters:
PDSCH Reference Signal (RS) power – “Pilot” power
Number of available resource blocks (RBs) in the cell bandwidth.
For initiated delivery, we recommend deploying LTE network with RS setting as bellowed:
RS Power= P.single port -10*log(12*Nrb)+10*log(1+Pb)

Power Pb NRB(Bandwidth)
Bandwidth RS(dBm) Recommend
(W) (0 1 2 3) (6 15 25 50 75 100)

20 1 50 10MHz 18.2 RS Calculation

20 1 75 15MHz 16.5
20 1 100 20 MHz 15.2
30 1 75 15MHz 18.2
30 1 100 20 MHz 17.0

Remark
- Coverage point of view: If the value of ReferenceSignalPwr is too large, cross-coverage
occurs. This causes interference to other cells. If the value of ReferenceSignalPwr is too
small, coverage holes appear.
- Capacity point of view: A larger value of ReferenceSignalPwr brings better coverage, but a
large value

Cell Parameter Planning -Planning with U-net

After we prepared the 3 files, we can start to plan parameters with U-net.

1.Build a new project 2.Import electronic 3.Import site list,

with LTE-FDD maps transceiver list and cell
template, or open an list
existed project

Cell Parameter Planning -Planning with U-net

4. Double check the following parameters:

Transceiver: Antenna
Cell: Frequency Band, Max Power, PB, RS Power, Prach Reuse Distance, PCI
Reuse Distance, PA, Transmission Mode.

*the default reuse tier of PCI & PRACH is 2. Normally this is not enough. We’d better use reuse tier 3 or
4.

Cell Parameter Planning – Neighbor Planning

GUL interworking strategy (include CSFB)

Idle Mode- Cell Reselection Voice CSFB Connected Mode Data

In idle mode, UE prefer camping on LTE Data service can handover to 3G

For Voice service in LTE, UE will fall back to
4G, otherwise prefer camping on 3G based on coverage in LTE coverage
UMTS network based on redirection. UE
U2100, last to 2G. UE in 3G will border to keep data service continually.
fast return to LTE network once voice call
always try to reselect to 4G, and UE in User will reselect to LTE network in IDLE
released from 3G network.
2G will always try to reselect to 3G or or PCH status.
4G ( if UE support).

6. PCI planning.
Confirm the available PCI value range(for example 0-494).

Cell Parameter Planning -TA Planning Principle

MBF Network: 1 TAC include 20-40 sites

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 20

TAC/TAL Planning Manually

2.Check the TAC/TAL around the new site. Keep the TAC/TAL same to the sites
around it.
If the LAC is mixed and the customer reject to adjust TAC/LAC, then the TAC
should follow the customer’s request and keep mixed.
