Eb/N0
• In order to meet the defined quality requirements (BLER) a certain average bit-energy divided by total noise+interference spectral density (Eb/N0) is needed. Nokia simulations for Eb/No are based on ITU recommendations.
• Eb is the received energy per bit from the wanted user,• Io is the total received power density, from both interference and thermal noise,
excluding the power of the wanted signal.
• Eb/No depends on:• Service• MS speed• Radio channel

Interference MarginInterference margin is calculated from the UL/DL loading () values. This
parameter shows in DL how much the BTS "sensitivity" is decreased due to the network load (subscribers in the network) & in UL indicates the loss in link budget due to load

Soft Handover MDC Gain
• In DL there is some combining gain (about 1dB) due to MS maximal ratio combining
• soft and softer handovers included • from MS point there is no difference between soft and softer handover
• average is calculated over all the connections taking into account the average difference of the received signal branches (and MS speed)
• 40% of the connections in soft handover or in softer handover and 60% no soft handover
• taking into account the effect multiple transmitters (meaning the receiver MS will get 3dB more power)
• combination of dynamic simulator results and static planning tool• in case more than 2 connections - no more gain (compared to case of two branches)

Slow and Fast Fading
• Fast Fading Different Signal Path interfere and affect the received signal
• Rice Fading – the dominant (usualy LOS) path exist
• Rayleigt Fading – no dominant path exist

Slow and Fast Fading• Slow Fading (Log-normal Fading)
In the real enviroment the propagation condition of the electromagnetic wave are not stable. Some location and time dependant variation in a signal strength appear when the mobile moves around (shadowing effect). The variation of the signal strength are normal distibuted on the logarithmical scale.

Soft Handover Gain(Gain Against Slow Fading)
• Soft handover gain is the gain against shadow fading. This is roughly the gain of a handover algorithm, in which the best BTS can always be chosen (based on minimal transmission power of MS) against a hard handover algorithm based on geometrical distance.
• In reality the SHO gain is a function of required coverage probability and the standard deviation of the signal for the environment.
• The gain is also dependent on whether the user is outdoors, where the likelihood of multiple servers is high, or indoors where the radio channel tends to be dominated by a much smaller number of serving cells.
• For indoors users the recommendation is to use smaller SHO gain value.

Power Control Headroom(Fast Fading Margin)
Power control headroom is the parameter to describe the margin against fast fading. This parameter is needed because at the cell edge the mobile does not have enough power to follow the fast fading dips. This is especially important for the slow moving mobiles
Power Control Headroom = (average required Ec/I0) without fast PC - (average required Ec/I0) with fast PC

Create Nominal Plan• Position a hexagonal grid of sites
over the desired coverage area.• The radius of each hexagon can be
determined from the link budget.• The capacity of the network can then
be analyzed to detect:• Hot spots that require cell splits.• Under used cells that could be
removed from the plan.

Define Search Areas• The sites in a nominal plan are only imaginary.• To become a real network, physical sites are required.• A suitable physical site must be found for each nominal site.• A suitable physical site must amongst other things:
• Give adequate radio coverage.• Have connectivity into the transmission network.• Be aesthetically and politically acceptable to the local community.• Have power nearby, good access and a co-operative owner.
• A survey of each nominal site is normally carried out to identify possible site options which meet the above criteria.

Define Search Areas• Guidelines have to be given to the surveyor so the options give appropriate
radio coverage.• The guideline is given in the form of a search area. Could be:
• Radius from the nominal site.• One or more polygons following height contours.

• Ideally every site option reported by the surveyor would pass in each of the areas listed above.

Bad GSM Sites• In GSM, there were two types of bad sites.
• Donkeys - Low sites which provide very little coverage.• Donkeys carry so little traffic that they often never pay for themselves.
• Boomers - High sites which propagate much further than is needed.• A boomer will cause localised interference and prevent capacity being added to some
other sites in the area.
Small “Donkey” site Large “Boomer” site

Bad UMTS Sites• Good radio engineering practice doesn’t change much for UMTS.
• It just becomes more important.• In UMTS
• A “Donkey” will never pay for itself.• A “Boomer” will reduce the range and capacity of surrounding sites.
• Two major factors determine whether a site is considered good, a “Donkey” or a “Boomer”, They are:
• Site location.• Antenna height.
• Other parameters can be used in an attempt to control booming sites but it is far better to avoid building them in the first place.
40 © 2005 Nokia V1-Filename.ppt / yyyy-mm-dd / Initials
Company Confidential
Site Selection Guidelines• The objective is to select a site location which covers the desired area but
keeps emissions to a minimum.• The site should be located as close to the traffic source as possible.
• The closer the site is to the traffic, the less output power will be required by the user equipment and node B. This will minimise the noise affecting other users on both the serving cell as well as other nearby cells.
• The antenna height selected will depend largely on the type of environment in which the site is to be located. Eg Dense Urban, Urban, Suburban, Rural.
• The key factor to be considered is how well can the emissions be controlled.
41 © 2005 Nokia V1-Filename.ppt / yyyy-mm-dd / Initials

Using Existing Cellular Sites• Most UMTS networks will be built around an existing GSM network.• Many GSM networks were built around existing analogue sites.• In the early days of analogue cellular sites were often located to give
maximum coverage. No thought was given to capacity issues.• Despite causing problems in high capacity networks, many of these high
sites are still in operation today.• Most cellular networks contain these nightmare sites.• When rolling out UMTS around an existing network it is vital to avoid these
sites.

UMTS Configurations• Most vendors support the same basic configurations.
• Omni• 3 sector• 6 sector
• Each vendor supports their own variations on these configurations.• Some solutions eliminate the need for RF plumbing.• Some require similar amounts of equipment to a GSM BTS.• Some increase the number of antennas on a site.
• The configuration can be affected by the wide variety of UMTS antennas.

Co-locating a Node B at a GSM site• Isolation requirements between UMTS and GSM systems can be derived from
UMTS and GSM specifications.• In many cases equipment performance will exceed the requirements in the
specifications.• Each vendor should be able to provide information which can be used to improve
the isolation requirements.• The isolation requirements will affect
• Choice of antenna configuration• Filtering at both the GSM and UMTS sites.
• Isolation is the attenuation from the output port of a transmitter to the input port of the receiver.

Interference Issues• Wideband Noise - unwanted emissions from modulation process
and non-linearity of transmitter• Spurious Emissions - Harmonic, Parasitic, Inter-modulation products• Blocking - Transmitter carriers from another system• Inter-modulation Products - Spurious emission, specifications
consider this in particular• Active: non-linearities of active components - can be filtered out by BTS• Passive: non-linearities of passive components - cannot be filtered out by BTS
