Service Description

2.1 Overview
The LTE new-build service is to provide an end to end solution when the CLARO build a new or/and
expand the existing network, and get the new-build network into the steady operation in a short period. The
LTE new-build service includes the following service modules: LTE new-build network design and LTE
network initial tuning. Each service module has several important service steps also. The LTE new-build
network design module includes two sub-modules: LTE new-build solution design and new-build cell
parameter design. Before the network design start, How to get the LTE new-build network quickly go to
market with steady performance is the key factor of network new-build service. The network solution design,
parameter design, and the network initial tuning are the most important procedures to guarantee the new-build
service quality.

2.2 Deliverables
2.2.1 RF Survey and Site Selection
Description
Site selection module will help CLARO select valuable sites location to maximize its investment. It has
two approaches: new-build and over-build. The new-build is applicable to the scenario that a complete new site
is selection and the site location do not come from the existing network site list, and the over-build is
applicable to the scenario that the site selection candidates are based on the existing sites list. Site survey will
invest the RF environment and rooftop environment and determine the project parameter.

2.2.2.1 LTE New-build solution design

Input

Engineering Parameter

Description
The LTE new-build solution design module is a very important function to get the new-buildnetwork into
the steady operation in a short period. It will design the general strategy of the network and the entire plan for
the total new-build network design project. It includes:

Design the LTE interoperability strategy.

Design the LTE multi carrier balancing strategy.

Divide the clusters and draw up the timeline.

Define the final acceptance criteria which include test equipment selection, test route definition, test
method definition, statistics and drive test KPI acceptance criteria definition.
LTE interworking strategy is a very important design module and it includes idle mode and connected mode
design.
Idle Mode
The GL/LTE/UL multi-mode MS will stay on LTE network when LTE RF signal is above the absolute
threshold since LTE network has the high priority. But in the LTE coverage boundary, the MS can be down
to GSM network to guarantee the service.
Connected Mode
The GL/LTE/UL multi-mode MS always sets up RF link for PS call on LTE network when LTE RF signal is
above the absolutely threshold. It can be handed down to UMTS network by DRD or Redirection when LTE
in high load or poor coverage. It can also re-setup RF link on GSM network by CCO or Reselection when
LTE in high load or poor coverage.
When the GL/LTE/UL multi-mode MS camps on LTE network, the voice call should be set up on GSM or
UMTS network by CSFB. When voice call is finished, the MS will return to LTE network.
LTE multi carrier balancing strategy is another important design module and has close relationship with
interoperability strategy design. Firstly, the number of carriers for the LTE network should be decided by the
future data traffic requirement .Secondly, the different LTE carriers may have big gaps on spectrum and have
very different radio propagation performance. So the lower spectrum should be designed as coverage layer and
higher spectrum should be designed as capacity layer. Finally, to realize the layer function design and carriers
balance, the LTE interworking strategy for both idle mode and connected mode should be considered.

2.2.2.2 LTE New-build cell parameter design

Input

Engineering Parameter

Traffic model

Description
The LTE new-build cell parameter module will detailed design the cell parameters which includes the
numbering and naming for the sites and cells, TA/SA design, intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and inter RAT
neighbor list design, PCI design, Logical root sequence design, and the baseline of system parameters which
include access related parameters, handover related parameters, timers , and etc.

Numbering and naming design:

The Numbering and naming design is to plan the number and name for the eNodeBs and cells.

TA/SA Design:
Tracking Area is similar with LA of GSM and UMTS network, but there is a new concept
named TA list which includes one or more TAs. It is the real paging area, the paging messages
from the network to the UE are sent in all the cells of TA list.

Neighbor Relation Design:

Define the neighbor relations, including intra-RAT and inter-RAT neighbors. Huawei
professional planning tool can out put all of those neighbors automatically, to simply the
planning process and minimize the possible mistakes.

System Parameter Design:

The system parameters design includes the access related parameters design, handover related
parameters design, timers design, and etc.

PCI design:
PCI is a very important parameter using to identify a cell. It is similar with PSC in UMTS
network. Huawei recommend U-NET V3R6 is used to do the PCI planning.

Logical root sequence design:

Logical root sequence is an important parameter which will affect the performance of access
phase.

2.2.3 LTE Network Initial Tuning

Description
Network cluster initial tuning is necessary for new build service. It includes three sub-modules: radio
network audit, single site verification, RF cluster tuning.

2.2.3.1 LTE Radio Network Audit

Input

LTE engineering table

eNodeB configuration file

Traffic statistic file

Description
Radio network routine audit helps to find and exclude network performance fluctuation caused by
hardware fault and basic configuration problems, such as alarm, missing & redundancy neighbor, PCI/PRACH
and parameter configuration error etc. It will ensure the status health of radio network. It mainly includes the
following contents:

Alarm checking refers to outputting classified alarm lists according to the impact eNodeB alarms on
services (call drop, access, throughput ) and the impact extent.

Neighbor cell/PCI/PRACH check: missing neighbor cell check and redundancy neighbor cell check,
special for the cell without any neighbor or missing co-site neighbor. Inconsistency check for neighbor
cell information should be included also. Frequency should be checked for consistency with planning.

Parameter baseline comparison: compare the global and cell parameters of the network with the baseline
parameters, mark the parameters with obviously improper values and those with large differences,
explain possible causes and impacts, and make suggestions on the parameters that need to be optimized.

Huawei suggests performing the routine audit action periodically, the principle of the audit should be
agreed with CLARO at the beginning of the project.

2.2.3.2 LTE Single Site Verification

Input
Integrated site list
Cell planning report and site database

Description
This service is an activity of evaluation and verification for new eNodeB after site integration, through
detailed service item verification, the problems caused by hardware faulty or installation mistake can be found
out, special for transmission potential problems, it also can improve the efficiency of network tuning.

Page 13 of 24

LTE New-build RF Service Proposal

During single site verification, do the following:

A checklist shall be filled
Cell configuration shall be audited both in field
Cross-cabling shall be checked and corrected
Function and coverage verified with design results
Change proposal may be submitted for verification or implementation.
At the end of single site verification, a report will be produced; Troubleshooting history of hardware faulty
and sites status will be recorded.

2.2.3.3 LTE RF Tuning

Input
Integrated site list
Project parameter table
Cell planning report and site database

Description
After LTE integration, we need ensure that the coverage performance of radio network is satisfied with the
required target and ready for commercial launch, so RF tuning service should be imperative in Huawei service
package.
According to the both agreed cluster division with customer, make detailed test schedule, design test route,
and update sites information. Using DT tool to record radio air interface data, and save the log file, then
analyse the network problem such as coverage, handover and call drop, etc.
RF tuning is just for new sites, considering the efficiency of work, Huawei suggest it begins when site
integration finishes 80% of the entire cluster in one cluster and thus goes on in parallel with site integration,
exceptional or single new sites initial tuning will be considered as site level, Any problems related to missing
sites (coverage problem) will be justified by Huawei and the acceptance will be granted by CLARO.
The most important items of LTE RF tuning are as below:
Pilot coverage analysis
Pilot coverage analysis is very important to LTE radio network performance. Weak coverage, over shooting
problems are the main considerations of RF optimization. The coverage can be improved by RF Parameter
tuning and optimization such as azimuth, tilt and height.
neighbor relations optimization
Neighboring cell optimization involves adding and deleting neighboring cells. The influence of missing
neighboring cells is that the user cannot switch to a cell with strong signal in time, resulting in increased
interference, reduced throughput, and even call drop. In this case, it is required to add a necessary
neighboring cell. The influence of a redundant neighboring cell is generation of an excessive amount of
neighboring cell messages, increase of unnecessary signaling overhead, and failure to add a required
neighboring cell when neighboring cells are all configured. In this case, it is required to delete redundant
neighboring cells.

Page 14 of 24

LTE New-build RF Service Proposal

DT KPI Optimization
The target of RF tuning is to guarantee the service, so the accessibility, mobility, retainability and latency
KPI for PS services should match the design target after the optimization. We can modify RF parameters and
other wireless parameters to improve the DT KPI.

Page 19 of 24

LTE New-build RF Service Proposal

Actual traffic or clutter of coverage area changes which exceed capacity or coverage planning objectives
defined in the planning phase.
Issues related to other suppliers equipments, including but not limited to Terminal, Core Network, Existing
Wireless Network, PSTN, Transmission Network, and Service Layer Equipments.
Extreme traffic impact in holidays or special events.
Radio Spectrum Interference from other surrounding systems not managed by Huawei.
Equipment failures caused by unauthorized actions other than Huawei Service Staff or Service Staff
managed by Huawei;
3. Field test shall only pass through areas covered by the planned sites and with enough coverage. Any problem
that occurs due to the other sites is excluded.
4. For stat. KPI, any data of cells from both coverage edge and isolated sites shall be eliminated.
5. The KPIs definition, measurement counters, test route, test equipment and test methodology as well as test time
for KPIs shall be negotiated and agreed upon both parties.
6. Network performance is affected by the settings of system parameters, so Huawei shall have authorization to
configure and optimize system parameters.

4.3 Acceptance Process

The LTE new-build is performed per cluster basis, so that the radio network acceptance should be performed per
cluster also, only special cases if there is, can be consider exceptional acceptance base on site, if in case no
continuous coverage and/or no neighboring sites for the same technology. Huawei can initiate the acceptance after
more than 80% sites of the testing cluster and all the VIP sites are finished with new-build, for the Final
Acceptance of the cluster or site if apply, will be performed with the 100% sites on air (cluster or site, depend of
the previous agreement by both parts). There are two methods for KPI measurements: Field test (Drive Test) and
OSS statistics. For exceptional or single new sites initial tuning service will be considered as site level and Drive
Test measurement.
The acceptance for the Initial Tuning Services will not mixed with the acceptance of another services, and also it
will be considered one acceptance for each different services.
Cluster means a group of sites (Normally 10-15 sites) which are geographically neighboring. The actual site
number of each cluster should be flexible to allow a fast rollout and acceptance. The cluster definition and drive
test route will be planned in advance and mutually agreed by both parties.
The following principles can be considered for cluster division:
Refer to customer network maintenance distribution in dividing clusters.
A cluster should cover the continuous service area.
Landform factor affects signal propagation, so it should be considered for cluster division.
A cell-like cluster is preferred rather than a strip-like cluster.
Administrative areas.
DT workload
The following principles can be considered for DT route definition:
The DT acceptance route should cover major streets, important locations and VIP/VIC area.

Page 20 of 24

LTE New-build RF Service Proposal

The DT acceptance route should cover all cells if possible.

Perform handovers between as many cells as possible; preferably all of the most important cell-boarders
could be crossed.
