Chapter 1 Introduction
This document states the information to be collected and acquisition methods at each
stage of network construction, and provides templates for information collection at each
stage so that network dimension is more accurate and faster, and network construction,
planning, and verification are more easily performed.
Chapter 2 Information Classification
2.1 Contract Requirements

Conditions and process of link budget and network dimension, and description of
parameter values are necessary in a contract. Also the contract includes requirements on
network capacity and KPIs as evidence for future network acceptance.
2.2 Target Area Information
2.2.1 Division of Target Coverage Areas
Before the network planning, the target coverage areas are divided due to the difference
of radio propagation environment and population density. There are principles for dividing
target coverage areas into dense urban area, urban area, suburb area, rural area, and
artery. Target coverage areas are subdivided in some smaller areas. For example, target
coverage areas are divided into area type I and area type II according to city size and
economy development levels. In areas of each type, there are dense urban area, urban
area, suburb area, rural area, and artery. The penetration loss in link budget and the
traffic value of single user in dimension are different in these areas.
The division of target coverage areas is related to radio propagation environment and
local environment.
Table 2-1 describes the principle for division of target coverage areas.
Table 2-1 Division of target coverage areas

Scenarios Description
Buildings are densely distributed, especially there are many over

Dense urban
10-storey buildings. Areas with the business centers and office
area
buildings in provincial cities are of this type.
Buildings are separated by streets or green lands clearly, and few

over 10-storey buildings are distributed dispersedly. Major areas of
Urban area
provincial cities, centers of common cities, and several southern
developed towns are of this type.
Suburb area Buildings are sparsely distributed, and the majority is lower buildings.
Suburban areas of cities, most towns and industrial areas are of this

type.
Buildings are distributed extremely sparsely, and the majorities are

Rural area
houses. Most villages and several developing towns are of this type.
Operators hope to solve coverage problems of key areas initially, seamless coverage is
impossible in rural areas, and they are mainly concern on the coverage of key towns.
Therefore, during the planning at rural areas, the radio network planning engineers need
obtain information about key towns, key arteries (railways, roads, and rivers), ports,
airport, scenic spots and other special areas from operators.
2.2.2 Target Service Types and Coverage Requirements
Engineers decide seamless coverage service type on different target coverage areas.
The selection of seamless coverage service type affects directly the decision of coverage
radium and NodeB scale. CS64k of seamless coverage service is used in dense urban
and urban areas, and CS12.2k of voice seamless coverage service is used in suburban
and rural areas. Engineers negotiate with operators to decide seamless coverage service
type of each target coverage area.
After deciding target service type, engineers need know the requirements on coverage
probability of target seamless coverage services (sometimes, tender document provides
the requirement for coverage ratio). Engineers need decide the scenarios (such as
indoor, outdoor, and inside vehicle) of target service type and whether to calculate area
coverage probability or edge coverage probability. For example, CS64k of seamless
coverage is required in dense urban areas, with 95% of indoor coverage probability.
Outdoor coverage is related to inside vehicle coverage. The requirement on coverage
probability affects the selection of slow fading margin. Under the same conditions, the
more requirements on coverage probability are, the greater the required slow fading
margin is, and the larger the number of corresponding NodeB is. The coverage
probability value is negotiated with customers.
The coverage type and coverage probability value of target service are saved through
formal contract, document and mails for future check after they are determined.
2.2.3 User Distribution in Target Coverage Areas
The user distribution in target coverage areas concerns total number of users, user
classification and user behavior in different types of target coverage areas. Different
penetration rates correspond to different services in target coverage areas. With the
combination of penetration rate and local user density, engineers can obtain the user
distribution density in target coverage areas. The user distribution in target coverage
areas affects output of network dimension. When the coverage and capacity are not
balanced,
z The coverage restricted does not affect the output. Required number of sites = total
square of coverage areas/coverage square of single site.
z The network expansion is required in the case of capacity-restricted, such as adding
carriers or sites. The behaviors of users in target coverage areas refer to data
related to traffic model, such as average traffic of single user in CS service, and
average throughput of single user in PS service.
2.2.4 KPI Requirements
KPI includes the following:

z Call setup success rate

z Call drop rate

z Signaling congestion rate
z Service congestion rate
z Soft handover success rate
z Hard handover success rate
z CS service traffic
z PS service traffic
z PS service volume
KPI is defined and updated with development of products. Sometimes customers also
raise their KPI requirements, so engineers need distinguish the different and nonexistent
KPIs from existing KPIs.
2.2.5 Band Information
It refers to the specified bands in 3G networks obtained by operators and which operator
the neighbor bands belong to. The uplink bands in 3G networks range from 1920 MHz to
1980 MHz, and the downlink bands range from 2110 MHz to 2170 MHz. During the field
planning, engineers need concern the current 3G bands used by customers, and also
need obtain information about 2G bands and other bands, to analyze the interference
from other bands. This helps locate interferences.
2.2.6 Map Information
Maps in corresponding planning areas include the following:

z Digital maps
z Mapinfo electrical maps
z Airscape maps
z Paper maps
The digital maps are used for network simulation, including altitude data, clutter and
vector data. In addition, three dimensional digital maps include the height of buildings.
The current tools for network simulation are Enterprise and UNET (Atoll). They support
the current digital maps. Engineers may try to import maps before the network planning.
When requesting for new digital maps, engineers need to tell the providers the tools to
be used for simulation.
z Engineers use 5-meter or more accurate digital map in dense urban areas that
require Ray Tracing model.
z Engineers use 20 meter digital map in urban areas.
z Engineers use 50 meter or 100 meter digital map in rural areas.
Mapinfo digital maps are used for drive test and other occasions, such as ambient
information of a site and site distribution.
Airscape maps help know the terrain to be planned.
Paper maps are important to planning. Engineers get familiar with areas to be planned
using them. They include the following:
z Regionalized maps with corresponding proportional scale, road direction, and place
distribution consistent with the longitude and latitude
z A large-scale airscape map is mounted on the wall of operators offices
z Detailed urban and suburban maps published by bookstores (if the previous two
types of maps are unobtainable, this type is used)
z Traveling maps
2.2.7 Other Related Information

related contact person.
2.3 Available Network Information from Customers
2.3.1 Operators with 2G Networks

throughput, and this is used in prediction of 3G traffic distribution. Traffic data of GSM
900 MHz and GSM 1800 MHz cells is also included. This shows the period of data
resources. "Cell ID" field and GSM site engineering parameters are indexed. Engineers
need output traffic data in EXCEL format for future process.

2.5 Information about Other Operators in the Same Area

The information is obtainable through marketing staff.

Chapter 3 Key Points at Each Stage
3.1 Network Dimension Stage

At the network dimension stage, engineers analyze the future network simply, estimate
the network scale according to related input information, and know the network
construction scale (number and configuration of NodeB). According to this, engineers
obtain the information about construction period, cost, and budget on human resource
cost. Complete and accurate information collected at the network dimension stage helps
estimate the network scale.
At the network dimension stage, engineers need obtain the information as follows:
z Target coverage area size
z Requirements on target seamless coverage service
z User distribution and behavior in target coverage areas
z Services and load for dimension
z Requirements on service quality
z Propagation model
The following section introduces the needed information at the network dimension stage
based on dimension of operators with 2G networks and new operators. The operators
with the personal handyphone system (PHS) network are taken as the operators with 2G
networks.
I. Target Coverage Area Information
Target coverage area information includes seamless coverage service type, square,
coverage, and capacity requirements, as shown in Table 3-1.
Table 3-1 Target coverage area information (existing 2G network)

Seamless User
Area Area coverage Total user
Scene coverage 2 proportion
(km ) probability (%) number
service type (%)
Dense urban
area
Urban area
Suburban
area
Rural area
Artery
Customers provide the information listed in Table 3-1, but this is difficult. Therefore,
engineers need provide recommended values. Indoor or outdoor area coverage
probability must be specified. Engineers provide customers with meaning and the effect
of each item. Operators with 2G networks predict development of 3G users based on
user proportion of existing 2G networks. Table 3-1 lists the division of target coverage

area type, but field planning may be different. The division principle provided by
customers prevails.
II. Service Bearer and Volume
Service bearer and volume are necessary in network planning. They include average
traffic volume of single user in CS service and average throughput of uplink and downlink
single user in PS service. The information is used during the dimension of uplink and
downlink capacity. Table 3-2 lists the service bearer information.
Table 3-2 Service bearer information (existing 2G network)

Service type Bearer rate (uplink/downlink) BLER requirement
Voice CS12.2k/CS12.2k 1%
Video phone CS64k/CS64k 0.1%
MMS PS64k/PS64k 10%
Internet PS64k/PS128k 10%
Video PS64k/PS384k 10%
The service type, bearer rate, and BLER requirement listed in Table 3-2 are just
references. During field planning, customers provide the information. Network planning
engineers provide suggestions, and explain parameter meanings and effect to customers,
if necessary.
Besides the information listed in Table 3-2, traffic volume or throughput of services in
busy hours is necessary as listed in Table 3-3.
Table 3-3 Service volume information (existing 2G network)

Average traffic volume of Average throughput of user
Bearer type
user (Erl) (kbyte)
CS12.2k
CS64k
Uplink PS64k
Downlink PS64k
Downlink PS128k
Downlink PS384k
Operators with 2G networks can estimate rationally the traffic volume of 3G users based
on the measurement on voice traffic and data service (GPRS) throughput in the existing
network.
III. Network Design Load
The network works under no fully-loaded condition to ensure stable running. Breathing
effect exists in 3G networks, so increase of network load leads to network coverage
reduction. Therefore, during network dimension, the maximum network load must be
configured in different target coverage areas.

Table 3-4 lists the network design load information.
Table 3-4 Network design load information (existing 2G network)

Scenarios Uplink load Downlink load
Dense urban area
Urban area
Suburban area
Rural area
Artery
Customers provide the value of network design load. Engineers provide meanings and
effect of parameters listed in Table 3-4, and suggestions on values, if necessary.
IV. Quality Requirements
Quality requirements are:

z Congestion probability in CS service
z Delay in PS service
Currently only congestion probability requirement is required, namely, grade of service
(GoS) requirement.
Table 3-5 Quality requirements (existing 2G network)

Target coverage area type Congestion probability requirement
Dense urban area
Urban area
Suburban area
Rural area

Customers provide quality requirements. Engineers provide meanings and effect of

parameters listed in Table 3-5 and related suggestions, if necessary.
V. Parameters Related to Radio Propagation
Parameters related to radio propagation include:

z Penetration loss margin, used in indoor and inside vehicle coverage.
z Standard deviation of shadow fading, used in calculating shadow fading margin.
z Channel type, related to demodulation threshold, and thus affecting sensitivity.
Table 3-6 lists parameters related to radio propagation.

Rural area 8 6 RA120
Artery 8 6 RA120
Customers provide values of parameters listed in Table 3-6. Engineers provide

recommended values, meanings, and effect. The recommended values must be
accepted by customers.
VI. Propagation Model
Propagation model is closely related to network dimension result. If operators with 2G

networks, have GSM1800 MHz adjustment model, related information related to model
adjustment must be provided. The information includes transmit source site information
and collected test data.
Transmit source site information includes:
z Transmit location
z Transmit power
z Feeder loss
z Signal type
Collected test data includes:
z Data site location
z Received signal strength
The data is output in EXCEL format for future process.
If customers have no adjusted mode, engineers can select a proper model from model
adjustment storeroom. Then engineers perform continuous wave (CW) test and adjust
the propagation model. Propagation model requires K parameters listed in Table 3-7.

VIII. Conversion Relation of CE Number
At the network dimension stage, engineers need estimate the number of needed uplink
and downlink CE when conversion relation of CE number is necessary. Conversion
relation of CE number is embedded in the tools. System simulation at detailed network
planning stage requires the information as listed in Table 3-9.

The previous analysis shows that the needed information of operators with 2G networks
is basically the same as that of new operators, so a unified information collection
template is provided at network dimension stage as shown in the following appendix.
Here refers to attachment 1: WCDMA Information Collection at the Radio Network
Simulation Stage.xls
3.2 Information Collection at the Detailed Network Planning

Stage
At the detailed network planning stage, engineers simulate the network and survey sites
for related information. They are:
z Equipment parameters
z Engineering parameters
z Cell parameters
z MS-related parameters
The following sections describe the parameters from operators with 2G networks and
new operators respectively.
I. Equipment Parameters
Equipment parameters include NodeB, feeder, and TMA. Engineers need obtain
information listed in Table 3-10, Table 3-11, and Table 3-12.
Table 3-10 NodeB type parameters (existing 2G networks)

Number of Number of available
Number of available
NodeB type available downlink channel for softer
uplink channel
channel handover
When the parameters listed in Table 3-10 are used for system simulation, the channel
resources must be set correctly to avoid the simulation failure caused by insufficient
resourses, which is closely related to NodeB type. Some simulation software like
Enterprise needs the number of channels used for soft handover, and this helps restrict
the channel resources consumed by soft handover. Engineers can obtain the information

from Huawei in field survey, such as from Simulation Software Parameter Configuration
Guide.
Engineers need feeder information listed in Table 3-11.
Table 3-11 Feeder type (existing 2G networks)

Feeder type Loss per unit (dB/m) Connector loss (dB)
Feeder information is easy to obtain, and engineers can obtain feeder type from
customers, and other information from Huawei, or consult providers.
Engineers need TMA information listed in Table 3-12.
Table 3-12 TMA type

TMA insertion loss
TMA type TMA noise factor (dB) TMA gain (dB)
(dB)
For TMA information, engineers must ensure that TMAs are necessary.
z If customers provide instruction books, engineers can obtain information from them.

The customers can provide all the parameters listed in Table 3-13 except propagation
model for operators with 2G networks. However the parameters are configured in 2G
networks, so engineers can use the information as initial input of system simulation and
adjust the parameters as required.

multiple frequencies. If customers do not specify the frequency, engineers need decide
the frequency to be used with customers. The first and second adjacent channel
rejection in uplink and downlink are used in multi-carrier simulation. For example, the
system simulation software Enterprise need configure the two parameters. The values of
the two parameters are obtainable from Huawei, such as from Enterprise Parameter
Configuration Guide.

VI. MS-related Parameters
MS-related parameters are obtainable from related guidebooks to parameters

configuration. The maximum transmit power of MS needs to be approved by customers,
because in current data services, the transmit power of some MSs is less than 24 dBm
transmit power.
