The Expect of Mobilis about RNP
WCDMA feature-Soft handover
n Soft/Softer handover
nSoft/Softer handover can
help us hear the voice from
more far!!
nSoft/Softer handover can
help us improve the
handover successful!
nSoft handover: Multi connection
with different NodeB
nSofter handover: Multi connection
with different cell belong to one

WCDMA feature-Interference
n Interference
n Where does Interference come?
n Central of Cell
Most come from
own Cell, less
from neighbor cell
n edge of Cell
Most come from
neighbor Cell, less
from own cell
n What is Interference for WCDMA?
All the Cell in same carry use same
frequency
Carry1 Carry2 Carry3
frequency
Same as GSM, interference comes
from frequency
How far I can hear you depend on both your voice strength and other people noise
WCDMA feature-Service
n Service
UMTS Radio Network Planning focus on the all kinds of bear service, how far and how many.
Based on the experience of GSM, combined with knowledge of WCDMA feature, everyone can
be an WCDMA RNP expert.

n Capacity is emphasis;
n Capacity expansion solution is important
n High spectrum efficiency
n Initial phase focus on the coverage;
n Hotspot and Dense urban are first target;
n Reuse 2G resource, save investment;
n Provide 3G feature service;
n This phase focus on balance
of coverage and capacity;
n Hotspot and dense urban
absorb capacity;
n Coverage extension to rural
and highway;
n Provide abstract service, new
feature such as HSPA, MBMS
are important.

AMR 12.2K VP 64K PS 128K PS 384K
Huawei Suggests
n PS128K or CS64K is the consecutive coverage service in the Urban
and Dense Urban
n PS 64K or AMR 12.2K is the consecutive coverage service in the
Suburban or Rural Area
Step1:continue coverage service
Determine the continue coverage service
n Initial coverage focus
on 3G feature service
such AMR and VP;
n UL 64k PS service
combine with HSPA can
meet high throughput
requirement.
Step2:Configure link budget parameters
It is suggested that Mobilis fix the environment parameters, and
vendor provides the equipment parameters.

NF of terminal is 5~7dB, it is refer to User Equipment
NF of NodeB is different between venders. Huawei 3800
series NodeB had low NF of 1.6, other vendor is 2.3~3.5.
The low NF can increase
UL coverage by 5%~20%.
There is no cable loss for BBU+UUR, UL
coverage increase by ~30%
Environment parameters: fading margin
Path Loss !fading due to propagation distance
n Long Term (Slow) fading !
caused by shadowing
n Short Term (Fast) fading !
caused by multipath propagation
Slow Fading Margin depends on:
n Area Coverage Probability
--- The higher coverage
probability is, the more SFM
required
n Standard Deviation
--- The higher standard deviation
is, the more SFM required
There should be margin
to compensate the fading

Environment parameters: SHO Gain
n SHO Gain against slow fading
n SHO reduces slow fading compared to the single cell case
n SHO gain against slow fading can improve the coverage probability
n SHO Gain against fast fading
n Macro Diversity Combining Gain
n MDC gain reduces the Eb/No requirement
n MDC leads to a gain for reception sensitivity
n MDC gain exists for both uplink and downlink
Soft handover gain " SHO gain consists of three parts:
The fast fading margin and slow
fading margin in Huaweis link
budget has been considered
the SHO gain.

The output of link budget is MPL rather than cell radius!

It is usually to compare the MPL to access the coverage performance. And cell
