Introduction of MBC Multi Band Cell

Introduction Tranditional Dualband Site: Dual BCCH.

Multi-band Operation (D-BCCH) allows configuring two different frequency bands in the same or different site location using dual BCCH. It allows reselection, assignment and handovers between different bands.
Cell DCS 1800 carries BCCH, SDCCH, PDCH & TCH

Cell GSM 900 carries BCCH, SDCCH, PDCH & TCH.

Introduction What is Single-BCCH?

z Single-BCCH: g Common BCCH Cell, , also called GSM900&DCS1800, , Multi-band cell; z Two layers in a cell: UL (900M) and OL (1800M); z The UL covers the whole cell area, The OL may not match the UL coverage area; z UL manages g BCCH, , SDCCH,PDCH , and TCH channels, , while OL only y manages the TCH channels.
OL(DCS 1800) contains only TCH, For Traffic Load

UL(GSM 900) carries BCCH, SDCCH, PDCH & TCH, For Coverage

Introduction Why Single-BCCH?

1. Improve radio performance: There are several restrictions on the usage of features Dynamic BTS Power Control, Discontinuous Transmission and Frequency Hopping on the BCCH frequency. By omitting the BCCH from one of the frequency q y bands in a multi band cell, , these restrictions are removed for that band. .

Why Single-BCCH (cont.)?

2. Improve capability: UL and OL share the BCCH, SDCCH, PDCH, and the TCH channels will be increased accordingly.

Summary of Adv./Disadv. of Dual-BCCH and Single-BCCH

14

Introduction
Adv./Disadv. of Dual-BCCH
Adv.: Adv :

Dual Band mobiles can camp on either band. 1800 MHz can provide additional capacity in high density areas. 1800 MHz single band mobiles can still be served on the 1800MHz layer. The network optimization becomes easier. Disadv.: Extra cells have to be defined. A dual band sector needs definition of 2 cells: one cell for each band. Significant increase in neighbor relations since handovers will be permitted between cells with the same band and between the different bands. This could b become a problem bl if th the BSC neighbor i hb relations l ti li limit it i is reached h d and d could ld affect ff t the accuracy of measurement reports sent by the MS. Spectrum to be allocated for BCCH in the two bands. Can be a problem in p markets. spectrum-limited

Adv.:

Improve capacity. Improve radio performance by DTX, BTSPC and FH, The number of defined cells and neighbor relations in a BSC is reduced. Reduction in the number of neighbor relations contributes to the accuracy or measurement reports sent by the MS. MS Signaling load on the system eased: No reselection of 900M/1800M cells, less inter-cell HO. Easy O&M.

Transceiver Group Synchronization In order to be able to configure a Multi Band Cell, transceivers for different bands have to be synchronized, synchronized by either being located in the same RBS cabinet and/or by using the feature Transceiver Group Synchronizations if the transceivers are located in different RBS cabinets.

Preparations

Dynamic Overlaid/Underlaid Subcells In multi band networks it can often be assumed that one frequency band has generally "better" coverage than the other. When combining two such frequency bands into one cell it is naturally suitable to re-use the subcell structure concept from the feature Dynamic Overlaid/Underlaid Subcells. The feature Dynamic Overlaid/Underlaid Subcells is a prerequisite for the M lti Band Multi B d Cell C ll. The Th frequency f b d with band ith "better" "b tt " coverage can be configured in the UL subcell and the other frequency band with "worse" coverage in the OL subcell. The parameter BAND defines the frequency band used within a channel group in a subcell. The parameter CSYSTYPE has a different meaning in multi band cells, as it defines the BCCH frequency band used in the cell. cell
24

Preparations

Dynamic Overlaid/Underlaid Subcells (cont.) The pathloss, TA and DTCB (Distance-To-Cell-Border) criteria are re-used to define the coverage limit of the frequency band used in the OL subcell in order to secure continuous service within the cell

25

Preparations

Dynamic Overlaid/Underlaid Subcells (cont.) The traffic load distribution between the two different frequency bands is handled by the Subcell Load Distribution function, allowing the frequency band in the preferred subcell (UL or OL as selected by the parameter SCLDSC) to t be b filled fill d first, fi t and d after ft a certain t i amount t of f traffic has been reached, the frequency band in the other subcell.

It is also possible to configure the BCCH in the Overlaid Subcell which may be the frequency band with the "worse" worse coverage, but this is not advisable as this frequency band may experience greater attenuation leading to MSs not being be g ab able e to re-select e se ect t the e network et o (especially (espec a y inside s de buildings, or in basements, etc.)

SDCCH Capacity Limitations

Due to the fact that SDCCHs should not be configured in the GSM-1800 Overlaid Subcells, it is possible that the default limitation of 1 SDCCH/8 per TRX in each channel group will prove to be a problem. Activate feature Increase SDCCH/8.
