 Refarming Valencia (Summary)
The refarming was done in 2 BSC: VAL90B07 and VAL90B08, with Legacy sites, AVE Ericsson, Repeaters
(METRO, shops..) and sites Helice (OSP sharing in VDF sites) totally 455 sites modified.
1º Step (PRS/M2000):
• Calculate Buffer zone and prepare reduction analysis strategy

2º Step (UNET/CME/NASTAR):
• Frequency changes VAL90B07
• Frequency changes VAL90B08
• External 2G VAL90B07
• External 2G VAL90B08
• External 2G3G in VAL90R07
• External 2G3G in VAL90R08

3º Step (Netac):
• Legacy sites in the refarming

4º Step: (Netway)
• Change the frequencies in the repeaters affected

5º Step (CNA)
• AVE Ericsson

6º Step (OSP Sharing in VDF Huawei -CME)

• External 2G in OSP sharing in VDF sites
• External 3G in RNC VDF Huawei

7º Step (Optimization and Acceptance phase)

Refarming Valencia (1 Step)
Calculate the buffer zone of the refarming, DCS has 20 MHz bandwidth and have to
release 10 MHz in this case for LTE.
Following the strategies proposed by the client, bandwidth reduction 10 or 15 MHz.
* 10 MHz:

* 15 MHz

In this case, We have 9 sites with more than 17 trxs

incompatible with 10 MHz.

For 15 MHz, Analysis is needed about traffic and trxs

Refarming Valencia (1 Step)
* 15 MHz Traffic Analysis

For 15 MHz, analysis is needed about traffic and trxs

•Cannot keep the current number of trxs in some sites due to
Problems? bandwidth reduction

• Analysis of the Refarming:

- Worst scenario.
-Trxs reduction and forecast of degradation with or without
Solutions them
- Simulations
-How and where to move traffic (3G expansion, Balance traffic
to 900/3G
- Final situation

•Our proposal is sent with and without reduction to the

customer for decide what is the best option.
Refarming Valencia (2 Step)
After to calculate the buffer zone of the refarming, DCS has 20 MHz bandwidth and
have to release 10 MHz in this case for LTE.

The final distribution was 10 MHz:

Firstly UNET, import Engineer Parameters from SmartRNO or from M2000 and GIS.
1º Define a polygon in 10 km from the last LTE site and HO statistics/geographical
situation.

2º Send to the customer for the acceptance and start to work in the frequency plan
.
3º Firstly, Create a Neighbor Planning in the UNET and after extract a Interference
Matrix from Nastar where the MRs are located. Later combine these two parts,
define the caracteristics of the refarming (release 10MHz or 15MHz) and launch
automatic allocation.

4º Last step and more important, it is necesary to check the frequency plan with HO
statistics, coBCCH-Distance… and try to solve the problems
Refarming Valencia (2 Step)
Once the frequency plan has done….
 Extract template GCELLFrequency from CME

 Update template data offline with the new frequency plan, main
parameters are:
GCELL (NCC / BCC); GCELLFREQ; GTRX; GTRXHOP; GTRXCHANHOP ...
In adittion, we need to update external 2G-2G/ 2G-3G in both BSCs/RNCs.

 Synchronize again to
load the updated template
and see the inconsistencies
that appear.

 Once everything is
loaded generate scripts
in the CME and
organized for loading in
scheduled work at night
Refarming Valencia (3 Step)
Legacy can be Nokia or Siemens, and use NETAC is used for apply the scripts for
change.
Refarming Valencia (4 Step)
-Change 50 repeaters, for this task depends on the software of the vendor
(Powerwave, Andrews..)

In this refarming, the current situation is:

• 9 BAND (Retemsa and Powerwave)

• 41 Channel selective (Retemsa and Powerwave):
 4 NO ON-AIR
 6 Without answer or not exist
 31 OK (Powerwave )

Netway
Refarming Valencia (5 Step)

MAD60B05 V1407E1 AVE Ericsson
MAD60B05 V1408E1 AVE Ericsson
MAD60B05 V1409E1 AVE Ericsson

* In this case, We have to update external Ericsson in MAD60B05.

* In adittion, the foreign in CNA.

Refarming Valencia (6 Step)
-VDF Sites Hélice:

External 2G and 3G in the VDF RNCs/BSCs VDF with the rest of the OSP sites
Templates CME.
Examples:

RNC

BSC
Refarming Valencia (Optimization Phase)
Refarming 10MHz Valencia performed successfully
Degradation on expected thresholds:
* DCR 1800 deviation 20.74% (weekly W0/W-1 comparison)
* Dual DCR deviation 6.88% (weekly W0/W-1 comparison)
 Refarming Valencia (Optimization Phase)
Degraded comparison day 29 October
with 22 October :
DCR DCS: 16.5%.
Comparison Monday 28 October before
refarming with 11 November
2G DCR: 6.54%.

Last week we have done in these top cells degradation the following actions:
• BCCH changed in 6 cells
• HSN changed in 5 cells
• Optimizing HR in the TOP cells.
• SDCCH HO allowed enabled.
 Refarming Valencia (Acceptance Phase)
These are the kpis of the acceptance after the last changes and reach the
acceptance.
We reach this target with 9 sites with incompatibility configuration and
one site with the old frequencies (Metro site)

OSP and Huawei agreed in SoC document next acceptance criteria:

1）First Year: 20M->10M: Assuming maximum target TRX configuration for the sites to be refarmed is 3/3/3:
For CS
CSSR degradation 0%~15%
