GSM LAC Planning guideline

The scope of this document is to provide the numbering scheme to be followed for LAC planning LAC is totally 5 digits which can be logically identified in the following way First 2 digits- To identify circle (Retained the MNC code itself) Next 2 digits - For BSC Last digit- For LA (we can have 1 to 9 LAs for Paging) For example in Mumbai BSC1 of Mumbai will have LAC : 15011 .Based on the more number of LAs it will be 15012,15013,15014,etc

2 GSM Cell ID Planning guideline

Planning Strategy to assign Cell ID (CI) to GSM BTS.
Prerequisite as per standard: 1. CI can not be more than a number= 65535 .........Max Limit. 2. CI should be unique for each Cell (Sector) in a MSC or LAC. Strategy:

Let suppose, CI= ABCDE, where "A" can not be more than 6 1. Last digit "E" will be reserved for sector identification, may be 1,2,3,...so on, depending upon the

number of sectors in a BTS. 2. Next 3 digits "B", "C", "D" will be reserved for BTS number in a geographical zone (Digit "A") in a City or MSC. It can have values between 001 to 999. But, if digit "A" is equal to 6 then, BTS number can not be more than 553. 3. Most significant digit "A" will be reserved for geographical zone in a City or MSC. It can have value from 1 to 6. But, if digit "A" is equal to 6 then, BTS number can not be more than 553 in that particular zone.
Advantage of Our Strategy 1. Cell ID will be independent to the BSC or MSC , where the BTS is parented.

2. If Inter-BSC rehoming happens in the network within the same MSC , Cell ID need not to be change. 3. By knowing the cell ID, we can identify where the cell is located geographically in the network. Example: Mumbai: Entire Mumbai circle has been divided in 6 Zones (South, Central,East, North,Thane & Navi mumbai) Delhi: Entire Delhi circle has also been divided in 6 Zones (Central, North, South, East, Ghaziabad, Faridabad + Gurgaon) So for above 2 circles each, we can accomodate 5,553 BTS (Macro+ Micro) maximum, which is quite high figure considering future growth. This strategy of zone division will be valid for Metro circles. For bigger circles like MAH, GUJ, RAJ, KAR...etc, where BTS figure can be more than 5553, we can divide each MSC in 6 zones.

UMTS LAC Planning guideline

LAC is totally 5 digits which can be logically identified in the following way & cannot be more than 65535 First 2 digits - To identify circle (Retained the MNC code itself), except MP, WB & Kolkata where MNC is 67, 85 & 83 respectively. Instead, following unique nos. will be used: MP Kolkata WB 61 62 63

Next 2 digits - For RNC Last digit - For LA (we can have 1 to 9 LAs for Paging) For example in Mumbai, RNC1 of Mumbai will have LAC: 15811. Based on the more number of LAs it will be 15812, 15813, 15814, etc.

UMTS Cell ID Planning guideline

UMTS Cell ID will be same as that of GSM Cell ID for all the sites. LAC will be the distinguishing factor of 2G network from 3G network.
