WCDMA 2100 F3 I Background

Traffic data growth is increase significantly. Telkomsel base case

forecasts data traffic to increase to 1,800 PB in 2022 (from business

planning). 3G traffic on mobile networks for Telkomsel is doubling

every year, putting pressure on network capacity

Data Payload share of 3G is dominated nearly 70% of total national

payload. Existing 3G spectrum is not enough to carried projected

traffic data.

High power utilization in some 3G sites/cells

High number of HSDPA user in some cells. Higher number of

HSDPA user in cell will lead to lower HSDPA throughput per user.

Implementation of existing both carrier HSDPA (F1 & F2) will reduce R99 quality, especially R99 Voice. In close time, there will be more

offload from 2G to 3G and its not only data traffic but also voice traffic

WCDMA 2100 F3 I Objective

Deliver high quality of broadband service

Maintain / improve deliverable HSDPA throughput along with highly

projected data traffic growth

To avoid EcNo degradation that could lead to shrinking coverage,

ping pong 2G-3G handover, RAB drop.

To avoid high PA utilization and excessive usage of PA per carrier

To improved voice call quality by having dedicated R99 carrier

WCDMA F3 Planning Guideline I F3 for Coverage, Capacity & Quality

F 1

DL/UL load/interference

HSDPA consume PA TX power 4 ~ 10 W, causing : - EcNo & EbNo (interference) degradation - Bad voice quality - Limited HSDPA throughput - Shrinking coverage - High PA utilization

Lesser interference

Better voice quality Better CPICH EcNo Enlarging coverage/ minimize shrinking coverage, minimize ping pong 2G ~ 3G with all its problems Better Traffic EbNo Improve voice quality

Higher possibility to increase the CPICH TX power to improve indoor penetration

HSDPA

R99

Control

More PA power for HSPA Higher HSPA throughput Lesser interference better CPICH EcNo enlarge coverage

3rd Carrier deliver solution of enlarging coverage, minimize shrinking coverage, minimize ISHO to 2G,

improving voice quality, improving HSDPA throughput, reducing PA utilization

HSDPA Drive Test Single User Throughput, Ec/No & RSCP Performance

Note : 3 E1 & 3 WSPC in Node B

When there is HSDPA

Traffic, signal quality is

degraded (EcNo ~ -12) and

impact the quality for all

other services

When there is no HSDPA

Traffic, signal quality is

excellent (EcNo ~ -4)

WCDMA 2100 F3 I HSDPA causes Signal Quality Degradation

WCDMA F3 Planning Guideline I Deployment Strategy

Deployment Strategy

Third Carried is preferred to be implemented in Micro Cluster inside BBC area that is

defined as high demand data traffic.

Third Carrier is implemented on top of Dual Carrier Site in clustered hotspot area to

ensure smooth mobility

Third Carrier is used as HSDPA service layer.

Main Road

Residential

1 Carrier Site (F1) 2 Carrier Site (F1 & F2) 3 Carrier Site (F1, F2 & F3)
