Planning issues
Planning should meet current standards and demands and also
comply with future requirements.
Uncertainty of future traffic growth and service needs.
High bit rate services require knowledge of coverage and capacity
enhancements methods.
Real constraints
Coexistence and co-operation of 2G and 3G for old operators.
Environmental constraints for new operators.
Network planning depends not only on the coverage but also on load.
Objectives of Radio network planning

Capacity:
To support the subscriber traffic with sufficiently low blocking and delay.
Coverage:
To obtain the ability of the network ensure the availability of the service in the
entire service area.
Quality:
Linking the capacity and the coverage and still provide the required QoS.
Costs:
To enable an economical network implementation when the service is
established and a controlled network expansion during the life cycle of the
network.

Capacity & Coverage Trade Off

The coverage for a WCDMA system is generally limited by the uplink. This is because the
maximum output power of the mobile is lower than for the base station, so the base station can
reach longer than the mobile can.
Capacity is generally limited by the downlink. This is because better receiver techniques can be
used in the base station than in the mobile. Since most forecasts predict an asymmetric load
where the users download data to a larger extent than sending, the downlink will be most
important from a capacity point of view.
Capacity and coverage is closely related in a WCDMA system. When traffic increases, the level
of interference in the system increases. To compensate for this, the mobile has to increase its
output power in order to defeat the increased noise, or in already at max power, make the
connection closer to the base station.
Due to the increase of traffic, the effective cell area has shrunk. This behavior is known as cell
breathing. In an FDMA or TDMA-system this problem does not arise, since coverage and capacity
is largely independent.
To reduce cell breathing interference margins are included when dimensioning the network,
which has the effect of increasing site density.

Coverage Limited Uplink
Capacity limited scenario

In this case the system load is higher than the initial value used to compute
the cell range. This means that either the cell capacity must be increased or
the cell size decreased. The first option is to increase the cell capacity by
adding additional carriers or PA. If the system loading remains above the
maximum permitted level then the cell range must be reduced such that there
are fewer users loading the cell. A reduction in cell range is made and the
system load re-calculated until the actual system load matches the maximum
permitted system load. This then defines the final cell range
Coverage limited scenario

In this case the system load is lower than the initial value used to compute the
cell range. This means that the rise in interference floor used in the link budget
calculation was to pessimistic. To achieve a match between the actual system
load and that value in the link budget, the complete process is repeated with a
lower value of permitted system load. This will lead to a lower increase in
interference floor, a greater cell range and thus more users in each cell and a
higher
actual system load.
HUAWEI Confidential
17
17
Coverage Limited Uplink

Using a propagation model like for example Okumura-Hata, it is possible to convert a change
of the interference level into a changed site density, compared to a reference case.
Table below shows the change in number of sites if the interference margin in the link budget
is changed. A negative dB value means that the link budget is worse compared to the
reference case, and thus more sites are needed.

WCDMA simulation
About simulation
Unlike GSM network, in CDMA coverage and capacity are too interrelated to be predicted accurately, so we introduced Monte Carlo
simulation to evaluate the performance of a radio network.
Ec Ec/Io pilot pollution distribution
Soft (softer) handover area analysis
UE transmit power
Eb/No, access successful rate of each service
Monte Carlo is a static simulation

During Monte Carlo simulation, the performance of the network is analyzed
over various instances in time (snapshot), where UEs are in statistically
determined places with the given traffic model. The ability of each terminal to
make its connection to the network is calculated through an iterative process.

WCDMA Optimization Overview

Pre-Launch
-
Optimization ( L1-Optimisation)
Initial step to fine tune and optimise WCDMA network based on L1 (Physical layer) when
network have low load. (or unload)
Optimisation is mainly based on drive test measurement and aim to verify and improve
on coverage design ( CPICH EcNo, CPICH RSCP), SC planning, neighbour planning
and parameter settings related to call setup ,call drop and mobility performance
To ensure on the readiness of network before launch, optimiser also need to verify on
hardware stability ,system capacity (enough to handle the forecast load) and QOS of all
services.
Post-Launch
Optimization
Further step to optimise network when there is an actual load ( RT and NRT).
Optimisation is based on both traffic statistic and drive test measurement. There will be
more parameters tuning e.g. load control, admission control , package scheduler and
also mobility management.

Key Performance Indicators, KPI
KPIs are a set of selected indicators which are used for measuring the
current network performance and trends.
KPIs highlight the key factors of network monitoring and warn in time of
potential problems. KPIs are also used to prioritise the corrective actions.
KPIs can be defined for circuit switched and packet switched traffic
separately and be measured by field measurement systems and M2000
