12 Parameters Configured on NodeB LMT Network Optimization Parameter Reference

Impact on the Network Performance

If this parameter is too low, the demodulation performance of AGCH channel cannot satisfy
the demodulation requirement.
If this parameter is too high, the NodeB transmission power is wasted too much.

Relevant Commands
On the NodeB LMT, set or modify this parameter through SET MACEPARA (BTS3812E,
BTS3812A, BTS3812AE, BBU3806, BBU3806C), and query it through LST MACEPARA
(BTS3812E, BTS3812A, BTS3812AE, BBU3806, BBU3806C).

12.5 Local Cell Management Parameters

The local cell management parameters consist of cell radius and cell handover radius.

12.5.1 Cell Radius

This parameter describes the radius of a NodeB cell. Cell radius affects the demodulation of the
uplink board and the configuration of the parameters related to the access part.
12.5.2 Cell Handover Radius
This parameter describes the cell handover radius, which can be configured on the NodeB
console.

Network Optimization Parameter Reference 12 Parameters Configured on NodeB LMT

Physical Value Range

150 m to 180 km, with step length as 1 m

Parameter Setting
The default value is 29000, which stands for 29 km.

You can set and adjust a value for this parameter based on the network planning and network
optimization result. In case the cell radius cannot be determined precisely, the set cell radius
must be greater than the required cell radius. The set cell radius, however, should be properly
great. Otherwise, the extra network resources are wasted and the system processing delay occurs.
Based on the data provided by relevant products, the handover synchronization time increases
by a maximum of 60 ms if the cell radius changes its value in increments of 3.75 km.

C T ON
When using the RRU, you must set the sum of the cell radius and the fiber transmission
delay as the cell radius.
If the access board of the NodeB is configured to support multiple sectors, the maximum
of the configurable cell radius is 30 km.

Impact on the Network Performance

The setting of this parameter must be the same as the result of network planning.

Relevant Commands
On the NodeB LMT, set the parameter through MOD LOCELL (BTS3812E, BTS3812A,
BTS3812AE, BBU3806, BBU3806C) and query it through LST LOCELL (BTS3812E,
BTS3812A, BTS3812AE, BBU3806, BBU3806C).

12.5.2 Cell Handover Radius

This parameter describes the cell handover radius, which can be configured on the NodeB
console.

Parameter ID
HORAD

Value Range
0 to 180000

Physical Value Range

0 to 18 km, with step length as 1 m.

12 Parameters Configured on NodeB LMT Network Optimization Parameter Reference

Parameter Setting
The default value is 0. The inner radius of a cell handover radius must be at least 78.125 m, that
is, 1 chip, shorter than the cell radius.
You can set and adjust a value for this parameter based on network planning and network
optimization result. In case the cell handover range cannot be determined precisely, the value
set for the cell handover radius must be smaller than the minimum cell handover radius required
for network planning. The set value, however, should be properly small. Otherwise, the system
processing delay may occur.

C T ON
When using the RRU, you must set the sum of the actual cell handover radius and the fiber
transmission delay as the cell handover radius.

Impact on the Network Performance

If the value set for this parameter exceeds the planned value range of a cell, the NodeB fails to
handle the users on the radius smaller than the set value. This results in that the actual handover
range is smaller than the planned one.

Relevant Commands
On the NodeB LMT, set the parameter through MOD LOCELL (BTS3812E, BTS3812A,
BTS3812AE, BBU3806, BBU3806C) and query it through LST LOCELL (BTS3812E,
BTS3812A, BTS3812AE, BBU3806, BBU3806C).
