Why We need indoor Distribution System?

 Coverage Problems
 Outdoor macro cell cannot satisfy indoor coverage
 High penetration loss
 RSCP ( less than -95dBm )
 Jumeira Beach Hotel
 Burj Al Arab Hotel.

 Capacity Problems
 Most of the calls: indoor calls
 Heavy traffic: some special buildings
 Outdoor macro cells cannot meet the indoor capacit
y requirement
 DWTC: GITEX.

Why We need indoor Distribution System?

For example: Burj Al Arab Hotel, 27th floor

 RSCP > -105dB: 70%

 RSCP > -105dB: 64%

Why we need to provide indoor coverage?

 Better cooperation between 3G and 2G


 Without UMTS indoor coverage, 3G service cannot be used at
indoor environment (VP, high speed data service)
 When mobile reselect from 3G to 2G, location update happens.
This will make a lot of impact on system and network. E.g.
increasing system signaling load. Also, before mobile finish the
location update, this mobile cannot be the MT. Call failed will
happen fluently.
 The inter-system measurement and handover will always take
more time than intra-system handover and reselection. If the
signal fading fast, it will not have enough time to perform
handover or reselection, and call drop or no service will happen.

Why we need to provide indoor coverage?
 Indoor coverage can be divided into two part:
 Normal: to use the outdoor macro cells to provide 1st wall indoor
coverage of the network
 Dedicated: to use the dedicated indoor solutions to provide the
deep indoor coverage of the network.
(e.g. important building, basement, elevator, etc.)
 In the course, we will focus on dedicated indoor
solution and DAS sharing analysis between 3G
and 2G.

Difference between UMTS and GSM

 For GSM:
 Less frequency resource is
occupied;
 Less sensitive for the overlap
between cells;

 For UMTS:
 Without dedicated carrier for
indoor, sometimes difficult to
control the interference;
 Difficult to control the overlap
between cells and specific
solutions has to be thought of.

Near far effect

 Near far effect is a very important issue that we


have to consider carefully, especially when we use
some high gain antenna to provide a big coverage
at indoor environment.

 The problem of this is that the users at cell edge


may be blocked by the users close to the antenna.

 The typical scenario of this will happen at:


The coupling loss difference between two users is more than
50 dB.

Summary: coverage and capacity

 The coverage analysis results will decide the DAS


(Distributed Antenna System) structure.

 The capacity analysis will decide which signal reso


urce will be used, macro-NodeB, micro-NodeB, R
RU, repeater, etc.
 Different equipment will have different power and base band res
ource. Which to use depend on the capacity analysis.
 The basic capacity formula is as usual. For more details, please
refer to dimensioning training material
 In indoor environment, the non-orthogonal factor and other cell i
nterference will reduce a lot comparing with outdoor macro. Nor
mally indoor cells will absorb more users than outdoor macro.

Interference Analysis: inter-system

 The inter-system interference can be


classified into:
 Spurious emission of a system falling in the receive band
of other systems
 Inter-modulation products of TX signals falling in the
receive band of other systems
 TX signals and spurious emission of a system blocking
other receivers

 Spurious interference is a focus for DAS


shared by WCDMA, GSM900 and WLAN.
35

Interference Analysis: inter-system

 Solutions:
 Multi-band Diplexer is applied in DAS shared by WCDMA,
DCS1800 and GSM900 to suppress the inter-system interfer
ence. If the isolation of the diplexer is not enough, add a filte
r to the corresponding interfering base station.
 Normally, the acceptable spurious received by receiver i
s recommend to be 10 dB below noise floor. It means 0.
4dB noise rise.
 Generally speaking, the rejection in other system RX ba
nd can be 50dB for the diplexer. The accurate rejection
depends on the spurious of the base station.
 MSs’ interference in base stations and interference between
MSs can be omitted if the antenna positions are designed pr
operly.
