10
Converted planet project
2 group of sites (hangzhou and xiasha)
total 48 sites, 141 sectors
assume only 1x 5MHz 2.6GHz carrier per each sector
11
Spectrum and frame config (1)
EARFCN=37750+300=38050 or 2600MHz for LTE TDD
BW = 5MHz
Use default set of MCS bearer
2 methods in planet (single value CINR or use spectrum
efficiency curve), use later method in this case study
12
Spectrum and frame config (2)
Assume no ICIC
Assume
frame config has 12 DL slots
DSUDD_DSUDD
S-subframe config 5
DL overhead config (PDCCH)

% DL RE used for overhead (CP + PDCCH/PCFICH/PCHICH +
PBCH + RS + PSS + SSS) for different # tx antenna
13
Spectrum and frame config (3)
For slow fading, assume spatial correlation
between best serving sector and interfering sector
is considered in CINR estimation
CINR Standard Deviation
Scenario Correlated slow fading
Noise limited areas Standard deviation of signal strength
Interference fully correlated with server
0 dB
Areas between co-site sectors
0 dB
Interference not correlated with server
Based on correlation between signals
14

UL noise rise = 1.5dB
PA power = 43dB (before any splitter)
No power boost for RS, PSS/SSS
15
3D propagation model (1)
3D model known as universal model (UM)
from France Telecom orange lab

building level for indoor coverage)
16
3D propagation model (2)
5m, 20m, height
2D raster map

[for pixel where clutter height map is not available]
17
3D propagation model (3)
3D building map
18
3D propagation model (4)
UM specific generated data
Facet represents reflection from far
away large obstacles
Morphologies represent mapping of clutter class to
UM clutter class for customized optimization
19
3D propagation model (5)
Graph represents horizontal guided propagation
direction to account for horizontal diffraction either
on side OR top of building
20
3D propagation model (6)
<3km, UM prediction resolution = 5m (geodata map)
>3km, UM prediction resolution = 5x2m=10m
Used model defined building penetration loss (outside/inside,
inside/inside) , which depends on tx/rx path length, angle, freq
21
3D prediction RSSI example
3D prediction shows
attenuated indoor coverage due to penetration
scattering by building

22
Optimization setting range
Optimization range is defined independently per sector
Relative means with respect to current NSN setting
Azimuth = relative [-30, +30] deg
M downtilt = relative [-5, +5] deg
Power = relative [-5, +5] dB
Antenna height = fixed at NSN setting
Optimize antenna pattern by picking either from antenna
group NSN_comba which contains 2 antenna,
ODS-090R15NV06(F) , ODS-090R15ND06(F)
Optimize e-tilt = absolute
range [0..6] deg
23
Pre-optimization (1) define AOI
AOI (area of interest) is defined for site group hangzhou.
Optimization in planet will be restricted to site group hangzhou within this AOI.
24
Pre-optimization (2) define UE
Define UE equipment
no monte carlo simulation is performed in this case study
set usual UL parameter
(e.g., 0dBi antenna, all bearer suported in UL, 24dBm)
25
Pre-optimization (3) define
environment
each pixel is split into up to 4 environment
each environment has its related parameter such as speed and fast fading margin
some clutter has certain clutter disabled
(e.g., no indoor/deep indoor for water related clutter)
26
Pre-optimization (4) analysis
run network analysis using NSN default site
config (i.e., before ACP)
set RSRP threshold = -105dBm
use FULL UL power control (i.e., UL tx
power is reduced until CINR for required MCS
bearer is reached)
UE speed = 3km/hr
use linear PoC vs loading % curve to
compute co-channel interference
target cell edge coverage prob = 85% for
outdoor environment
27
Optimization (1) define profile
set profile as combination of different optimization
goals, e.g.,
(weight=2) RSRP coverage with balanced footprint
(weight=1) spectrum efficiency
Combination of optimization KPI
that can be selected
28
Optimization (2) define scenario
Define optimization scenario
choose optimization ONLY
choose optimized sector = considered sector
29
Optimization (3) run scenario
Set optimization to area = AOI, environment =
indoor (wt=1) and outdoor (wt=2)
Sector loading used in optimization
if optimization KPI is dependent on loading,
it requires traffic map from AOI area
static load (constant) OR dynamic load
(fluctuate during ACP process)
