LTE RF Parameters Introduction

When we have a new LTE site, what should we do before and after site integration?  plan engineering parameters(EPT) for this site  prepare scripts  execute scripts What software can we use when working for a new LTE site?  plan engineering parameters(EPT) for this site->U-net  prepare scripts->SmartRNO  execute scripts->U2000 In this course we only refer to U-net and SmartRNO.

LTE RF Parameters Introduction

When we want to plan EPT for LTE sites, we usually have 2 steps: 1. prepare parameters for planning; 2. use software to plan essential parameters;

*can we plan parameters manually?

PCI/PRACH Planning with U-net

Normally we use U-net to plan PCI/PRACH. This software has lots of function, in this course we only talk about the 4G EPT planning part. When we need to use U-net to plan parameters, we need to prepare 3 excel files for this software: Site

 Site

Transceiver_simcell_simplified plified

 Trasciever  Cell

Transceiver_full

Normally we use simplified excel files. The full file is more complex.

PCI/PRACH Planning with U-net

After we prepared the 3 files, we can start to plan parameters with U-net.

1.Build a new project with LTE-FDD template, or open an existed project

2.Import electronic maps

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

3.Import site list, transceiver list and cell list

PCI/PRACH Planning with U-net

4. Double check the following parameters:  Transceiver: Antenna  Cell: Frequency Band, Max Power, PB, RS Power, Prach Reuse Distance, PCI Reuse Distance, PA, Transmission Mode. *the default reuse tier of PCI & PRACH is 2. Normally this is not enough. We’d better use reuse tier 3 or 4. HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

Coverage Simulation with U-net

After we prepared the 3 files, we can start to simulate LTE coverage.

1.Build a new project with LTE-FDD template, or open an existed project

2.Import electronic maps

Neighbor Planning with SmartRNO

Normally we use SmartRNO to plan neighbours and output scripts. This software has lots of function, in this course we only talk about the neighbour planning part. When we need to use SmartRNO to plan neighbours, we need to prepare engineering parameters for it.  2G EPT  3G EPT  4G EPT

TAC/TAL Planning Manually

TAC/TAL is a key parameter for LTE. Normally we keep the edge of TAC area same to 2G/3G LAC area. If the LAC of some sites are mixed, we need to suggest our customer to adjust TAC or LAC(rehoming). When we need to plan TAC/TAL for a new site, we have 2 steps: 1.use Mapinfo to show the distribute of eNodeBs. (Google Earth and other software are also recommended)

TAC/TAL Planning Manually

2.Check the TAC/TAL around the new site. Keep the TAC/TAL same to the sites around it. If the LAC is mixed and the customer reject to adjust TAC/LAC, then the TAC should follow the customer’s request and keep mixed. HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

PCI/PRACH Planning Manually

According to 3GPP protocol, there are 504 PCI(0-503) and 838 root sequence index(0-837). Normally we will not use all of them in our network. We will remain several PCI and PRACH for mobileshelter. For example, we use PCI 0-494, root sequence index 0-819 for normal eNodeB. Then we have 9 PCI(495-503) and 18 root sequence index (820-837) at leisure. We can apply them in mobileshelters. If 1 mobileshelter have 3 sectors, cell radius is 2km, that means we need assign 1 PCI and 2 root sequence index for 1 sector. Then we can plan PCI and PRACH manually: Cell ID
