Compared with the CS services, GPRS/EDGE features higher efficiency and utilization of radio resources. It is applicable to the services with the following features Burst data transmissions at intervals much longer than the transmission delay Frequent data transmissions with a small amount of data, such as several transmissions per minute and less than thousands of bytes per transmission. Infrequent data transmissions with a large amount of data, such as several transmissions per hour and more than tens of thousands of bytes per transmission.

Traffic Model
Currently, GPRS/EDGE and GSM share the CCCH. If the PCCCH access mode is used, there are great changes in the signaling channel planning, parameter planning.
32pt
) :18pt
It is difficult to accurately predict the GPRS/EDGE traffic model, because the GPRS/EDGE traffic model cannot be described simply by traffic volume (Erlang) per user.
The GPRS/EDGE traffic model should be modified with the development of new services. In addition, the risk of traffic model mutation due to the introduction of new services should be avoided.

Coverage Planning
The valid coverage area is subject to two parameters: signalto-noise ratio (C/N) and signal strength. C/N determines the signal transmission quality (bit error rate BER or block error rate BLER). The coverage area analysis is based on the similarity between the two parameters in the GPRS system and
32pt
) :18pt
For different coding schemes on the same channel, the BERs are different. For the same BER on the same channel, the coverage areas under different coding schemes are different. The BER performance mentioned later refers to the BLER.

Compared with the GSM network coverage, the GPRS/EDGE network coverage has the following characteristics:
Same EIRP Except the body loss, other loss between the transmit end and the receive end is the same as that in the GSM system. The GPRS/EDGE services are mainly affected by the C/I instead of the receiver sensitivity.

When the BLER in CS1 coding scheme is lower than 10%, the requirement is the same as the C/I requirement of voice quality level 4. When the BLER in CS2 coding scheme is lower than 10%, the requirement is the same as the C/I requirement of voice quality level 3. Therefore, you can analyze the GPRS network coverage based on the existing GSM network coverage and voice quality. In CS1 coding scheme, the coverage area of the GPRS network is almost the same as that of the GSM network. In CS2 coding scheme, as the C/I is improved, the coverage area of the GPRS network is about 80% of that of the GSM network.

Frequency Planning
On the existing network, the BCCH carrier does not use the power control, DTX, frequency hopping techniques. The 4X3 frequency reuse pattern is used. Therefore, the advantages of PDCH configuration on the BCCH frequency are as follows:
32pt
) :18pt
If the TRX carrying the BCCH is configured with baseband frequency hopping, considering the multi-timeslot capability
Page45
of the GPRS MS, all the PDCHs must have the same MAIO

Frequency Planning
32pt
The C/I probably cannot meet the requirement of GPRS network coverage.
) :18pt
Data services may bring about addition interference to the GSM services. This will decrease the service area of the speech services.
If frequency hopping is used, the PDCHs on the same TRX must have the same MAIO and HSN. However, for the GPRS network, frequency hopping does not have the benefits as
expected.

When the PDCHs are insufficient even if all the TCHs on the BCCH are configured as PDCHs, can configure PDCHs on other TRXs. In this case, use frequency hopping to reduce the MS' requirement on C/I

When the EDGE network is configured with baseband frequency hopping, all the TRXs participating in the frequency hopping must support EDGE services.

However, with the increase of GPRS users, the RA size and the number of packet paging messages should be reduced to decrease the PCH load.
Check whether the PCH is overloaded and whether the traffic volume of packet paging is oversized according to the traffic measurement results, and then determine whether to reallocate the RA .

In the dual-band network, if the traffic on the GSM1800 network are preferred, the GPRS/EDGE services are concentrated on the GSM1800 network, leading to network congestion. However, the network cannot use the service handover method as used in the GSM network to switch the traffic to the GSM900 network.
