1) What is a typical UE sensitivity level?

The service and load determines the UE sensitivity; in general, in no-load

condition, the sensitivity is between -105dBm and -120dBm. For Ericsson, the
UE sensitivity level is calculated at around:
CS12.2: -119 dBm
PS-64: -112 dBm
PS-128: -110 dBm
PS-384: -105 dBm
HSDPA: -95 dBm
2) What is a typical NodeB sensitivity level?
The service and load determines the NodeB sensitivity; in general, in a no-load
condition, the sensitivity is between -115dBm to -125dBm. For Ericsson, the
NodeB sensitivity level is calculated at around:

CS12.2: -124 dBm
PS-64: -119 dBm
PS-128: -115 dBm
PS-384: -115 dBm
3) What is a typical NodeB maximum output power?
The maximum NodeB output power is usually 20W or 40W, that is, 43dBm or
46dBm.
Also up to 100W

4) What is UE maximum transmit power in your link
budget?
UE Transmit Power limit is 21dBm.
5) What is a typical maximum path loss? :
The maximum path loss is dependent on the service and vendor recommendations;
typically it is in between 135 to 140dB for urban areas and between 150 to 160dB
for rural areas.

6) What is the difference between dB and dBm?

: dBm is a unit of power level, measured in milli-watts in logarithm scale,
that is,
dBm = 10 * log(W*1000) where W is the power in Watts
dB is not a unit, it is the difference in dBm.

7) Why We have Different AMR Source rates:
12.2 (GSM-EFR), 10.2, 7.95, 7.40 (IS-641), 6.70 (PDC-EFR), 5.90, 5.15 and
4.75 kbps?Is there any benefit to keep 7.95 and 7.40?
Ans:We have different Source rates to compitable with current
technology.
For example:7.4 kbps is equal to the US-TDMA speech codec.
6.7 kbps is equal to the Japanese PDC codec.

8) What is Mobile Number Portability (MNP)?
Mobile Number Portability (MNP) enables Mobile telephone users to RETAIN
their mobile telephone number, when changing from one service provider to
another or their Location.
In this, if a customer is dissatisfied on the service by mobile operator either he has
to reluctantly accept the service or switch to another service provider that he
wishes. In the later case, he has to drop his identity, the mobile number. In most
cases when the mobile number is used for all business and family correspondence,
it becomes generally impossible to leave the number. To overcome these hardships,
the concept of MNP (Mobile Number Portability) was introduced.
Types of Number Portability :-
* Service Provider Number Portability: Subscribers can change the service provider
while retaining the same phone number It is also called operator portability.
* Location Number Portability: Subscribers can change their service location while
keeping the same mobile telephone number.
* Service Portability: Subscribers can change the subscribed services while
retaining the same telephone number. It allows the subscribers to enjoy the
subscribed services in the same way when they roam outside their home networks.

9) There are several Event in 3G
Event 1A: UTRAN will add the new cell in the UEs active cell list and will
send an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message.
Event 1B: UTRAN will send ACTIVE SET UPDATE message to remove
the cell from UEs active set.
Event 1C: UTRAN will send ACTIVE SET UPDATE message that will
remove one or more cells and will add one or more cells. The only restriction
for 1C is that there should be at least one radio link that is not affected by the
procedure.
