Overview
Background of Dual-band Network
The earliest GSM digit mobile telecom network is
900M. With the rapid growth of the users, demand
of network capacity is increasing tremendously. So
limitation of frequency resource and lack of radio
channel capacity become choke point of network
development.
GSM1800(DL18051880MHz UL1710
1785MHz) network is introduced and
GSM900/GSM1800 dual-band network
construction can satisfy demand for GSM network
capacity.
Background
advantages of DCS1800
Make up for GSM900 frequency resource shortage.
GSM 1800 is similar with GSM900 in Network construction,
engineering, network planning , and network maintenance and
service
Share GSM 900 sites so as to save the construction cost
GSM terminals supporting dual-band are now
being popularized.

GSM900 and GSM1800 exists in one cell. BCCH and SDCCH channel
are configured on 900M frequency. Non-BCCH frequency can be 900M
or 1800M.

Advantage: save one BCCH TSL as well as expanding the capacity
(biggest advantage). Configure 1800 carrier in 900M cell. Neighboring
relations of the cells need not to be changed, network neednt be planned

DCS1800 sites distribution
We suggest to select sites already in GSM900 system and use site
equipment room, iron tower, power supply facilities, and transmit devices
in the sites for cost-saving purpose.

Antenna installation
It s best that antenna of DCS1800 is 2-3m higher than that of GSM900
Antenna direction of the two should be the same for traffic control
Half-power angel of both horizontal and vertical direction should be small
and similar.

Its possible that when average distance between sites is 500-800 m,

Boosting antenna gain, site transmission power and site reception
sensitivity can add to GSM1800 coverage.

Some sites traffic is high but the distance is much far. In this case, site
need to be added and its power capacity shall base on coverage and

BSC.
Intra-MSC inter-BSC handoverthe two cells are controlled by
separate BSC which belong to one MSC.
Inter-MSC handover: the two cells are in the control of two MSC. This
operation involves multiple MSCs and BSCs engagement.

Traffic Handover
Handover because of traffic. This happens when the serving cell is or on the way to
becoming congested while adjacent cell is relatively idle. MSC sends Handover
Candidate Enquiry message to BSC and some MS are handed over from resource cell to
target cell.
Candidate principle. BSC will select from specific cells the cell with worst quality to be
handover candidate and apply handover from MSC. Guidelines are uplink and downlink
reception quality, uplink and downlink reception level, and MS-BTS distance. Use
weighting average equation to get cell service quality.
Handover target cell limitation. Candidate MS cant be MS that its adjacent cell
measurement report doesnt include any cell in the list provided by MSC.
Handover time limitation. The interval between last handover time of candidate MS and
current time is smaller than minimum allowable handover time duration. This MS cant
be candidate in order to avoid frequent handover.

Definition
In designation process, if serving cell has no channel to allocate to, system
will use directed retry function to allocate other channel of adjacent cells for
MS.
Function
This is a special handover process which can reduce call drop.

former neednt MSC involvement while the later calls for MSC interaction.

Advantage of ZTE handover algorithm
Handover due to traffic volume is provided, thus congestion of GSM
1800 is avoided.
Directed retry between the two band. For example, when GSM
1800 is congested, call will be handed over to BSC or MSC to
which GSM 900 belongs to and enhance call through rate of
GSM 1800. Fast fading handover algorithm targets fast fading and
helps to avoid call drop caused by bad quality of the serving cell.
Interval protection. Limit the handover times between dual-band cells
in order to reduce signaling flow in BSC, and finally to guarantee the
favorable call quality.
