Principle
The principle of the Dual Band cells is to share the resources in both
zones assuming that the TRXs are transmitting at different power.
The dual band combining into one cell allows to save up to oneSDCCH in particular

1.1Improved radio environment and traffic capacity:
There are several restrictions on the usage of features BTS Power Controland Frequency Hopping on the BCCH frequency. By omitting the BCCHfrom one of the frequency bands in a multi band cell, these restrictions nolonger apply.

Single band cell / multi band site (left) vs. multi band cell (right), radio performance
Also, there is one more timeslot available for traffic in the non-BCCHfrequency band, since the BCCH is omitted.

1.2Reduced Number of Defined Cells and NBR Relations
The number of defined cells and cell network is reduced after the
conversion of the same network based on the single band cell /multi band site concept. Defined neighbor relations can besignificantly reduced in areas where the most of the cells are multiband. This reduction can easily reach 50% or more.

On SDCCH (always in the large zone), when the serving cell is either a dual
band cell the call can be directed to the inner zone.
The small zone (or band1) is eligible when the following conditions aresatisfied:
RxLevDL > concentAlgoExtRxLev
MS_BS_Dist < concentAlgoExtMsRange(timing advance criterion)
Only one TA measurement is done for concentric cells.

Dual band network problems and solutions
Problems: Unexpected location updating signaling for Um interface and other interfaces
Handover between GSM900 and DCS1800 cells not under control
Traffic load sharing problems
Recommended solutions: Utilize the separated MSC network structure and proper LAC allocation Utilize proper handover parameters
Optimize handover settings to achieve proper traffic load sharing

Benefits

31/34
Main benefits of dual band cell functionality are:
The number of cells to configure and monitor is roughly divided bytwo.
No BCCH pattern has to be defined in the second band.
Slight increase in capacity: one TS saving+DCS and GSM DRXs in onepool, which provides more network control of the traffic distribution.
Intra cells Handover between DCS and GSM DRXs of a same cellinstead of synchronous inter cell handovers reduce the muting timeand probability of drop call.

Summary

Summary:
In a Dual band cell it is possible to configure two different frequencybands in a cell with only one BCCH.
BCCH configured on a frequency Band called BCCH band and theother Band is called Non-BCCH Band.
Non-BCCH band used to provide more capacity to be used for traffic.
In case of GSM900 and DCS1800 co-location, the GSM900 has strongsignal strength but we canuse the idle parameter setting and layer
handover to control the traffic and achieve the balanced trafficbetween GSM900 and DCS1800
