    Objective of Propagation Model

    The propagation model is used to estimate the path loss

    during radio wave propagation caused by the terrain and

    artificial environments

    The propagation model is the foundation of the coverage

    planning. A good model mean more precise planning.

    The propagation model depends on the working frequency

    of the system. Different propagation models have different

    working frequencies ranges. Moreover, indoor propagation

    model differs from the out door propagation model

    Through surveying radio propagation environments, you can get familiar with the

    overall landforms, estimate the rough antenna height, and select the proper radio

    propagation model, among which the radio propagation model helps you estimate

    the number of base station when predicting the coverage. If necessary, you must

    adjust the propagation model.

    GSM has two frequency bands: 900 MHz and 1800 MHz. Each band has

    different transmission characteristics. Long wavelength comes with little diffraction

    loss and short wavelength comes with little building penetration loss. Indoor wave

    component is the superimposition of penetration component and diffraction

    component. Diffraction component constitutes most of the wave component, and

    therefore, the indoor and outdoor level difference of 1800 MHz is greater than that

    of 900 MHz. Because of the issues such as complex transmission environment and

    the direction of incident waves, quantify indoor and outdoor level difference is not

    very practical. The best way is to carry out level difference test in special

    environment for planning optimization.

    For the cell which just has one or two TRX, the TRX will not be connected to the

    combiner and directly connected to DDPU (Dual Duplexer Unit for DTRU BTS). So it is

    combiner loss will be 0---1 dB.

    The DDPU is for sending multi RF signals from the transceiver in the DTRU to the antenna

    through the duplexer

    Sending signals from the antenna after amplifying and quartering them to the transceiver in

    the DTRU

    combines two carriers into one channel. The DCOM is required when the DTRUs

    are insufficent

    The DCOM combines the 2-route DTRU transmission signals and outputs them to

    the DDPU

    BTS

    jumper

    In a wireless telecommunication system, the antenna provides the interface between base

    transceiver station (BTS) and outside propagation mediums. One set of antenna can both

    radiate and receive radio waves. When radiating radio waves, it converts high frequency

    current into electromagnetic wave; when receiving radio waves, it converts the

    electromagnetic wave into high frequency current.

    During network planning, the right antenna is selected according to the radio environment

    of the BTS. The parameters, such as antenna height, antenna azimuth angle, tilt angle, are

    decided based on the selected antenna.

    Antenna is directly related to uplink and downlink converges, so are the radio frequency

    (RF) components, such as feeder cable, combiner, and duplexer.

    Coverage Probability

    area coverage probability: Within a coverage area, the percentage

    of area in which receive signal strength (RxLev) is always higher than

    RxLev threshold

    edge coverage probability: In coverage board area, the percentage

    time when the receive signal strength (RxLev) is always larger than

    the of RxLev threshold

    Sometimes during the planning, coverage probability also have to consider. And for

    high coverage probability, high shadow fading margin reserved. Normally, there are

    two types coverage probabilities: area coverage probability and edge coverage

    probability.

    According to the standard deviation of the shadow fading and the requirements for

    the border coverage probability (determined by the operator), we can calculate the

    edge coverage probability by formula.

    Margin

    To ensure a certain edge coverage probability , it is

    necessary to reserve some power margin, i.e. the shadow

    fading margin.

    Due to the shadow fading, the actual path loss fluctuates

    around this value. It is subjected to the logarithmic normal

    distribution as the location and time varies.

    Note : the 75% edge coverage probability is corresponding to the 90% area

    coverage probability.

    Concept of communication probability: Success call rate of MS on the

    radio coverage border or in the cell

    Category of communication probability: location probability and time

    probability

    In general, the time change has little impact on the communication

    probability, so it can be neglected.

    Why Indoors

    Indoor coverage become the main competition between operators

    Subscribers expect continuous coverage and better quality

    Outdoor cell cant provide sufficient indoor coverage

    INDOOR SOLUTION

    GoodQuality!

    With the rapid development of economy, hotels, commercial centers, large-

    scale flats, underground railways, and underground parking areas are arising

    by batch. As a result, mobile stations are more frequently used in indoor

    environment. Thus, they require better indoor mobile communication services.

    Generally, the following problems are present in indoor mobile

    communication systems:

    From the perspective of coverage, the complex indoor structure and the

    shielding and absorbing effect of the buildings cause great radio wave

    transmission loss. As a result, the signals in some areas may be weak,

    especially the signals in the first and second floors in the underground are

    quite weak, or even there are dead zones. In this case, mobile stations cannot

    necessarily access the network, there is no paging response, or subscribers are

    not in service areas.

    From the perspective of network quality, the factors interfering radio

    frequencies are probably present in upper floors of high buildings. In this case,

    the signals in service areas are not stable, so ping pong effect may occur and

    conversation quality cannot be ensured.

    From the perspective of network capacity, if mobile stations are frequently

    used in buildings, such as large-scale shopping centers, conference halls,

    some areas in the network cannot meet the requirements of subscribers. In

    this case, congestion may occur on radio channels.PDF Created with deskPDF PDF Writer - Trial :: http://www.docudesk.com

    Wave Propagation in Tunnels

    The tunnel types include railway tunnel (or metro tunnel), highway

    tunnel.

    Highway tunnel is wide, select the antennas with a larger size to

    obtain a higher gain, coverage distance is larger.

    Railway tunnel is narrow, the antenna size and gain are greatly

    restricted. Especially the radio propagation is greatly affected by

    passing train.

    The tunnel types include railway tunnel, highroad tunnel, and underground

    railway tunnel. Each tunnel has its characteristics, and they are specified as

    follows.

    For the highroad tunnel, it is wide. The coverage in the highroad tunnels is

    relatively stable. When there are vehicles passing by, you can select the

    antennas with a larger size to obtain a higher gain, so the coverage distance is

    larger.

    For the railway tunnel, it is narrow, especially when there is a train passing

    by; only a little room is left in the tunnel, so the radio propagation is greatly

    affected. Moreover, the train has great effect on radio signals. Since the

    antenna installation room is quite limited, the antenna size and gain are

    greatly restricted. In addition, because general cars cannot be driven to such

    tunnels, the tunnel coverage is hard to be tested. Therefore, the planning forhighroad coverage is different from that of the railway coverage.

    Short and Middle Tunnels Coverage

    Generally, the tunnels shorter than 100m are defined as short

    tunnels. l the antenna can be installed at the tunnel entrance so as

    to ensure coverage.

    For the tunnels shorter than 500m, can use the combination of a

    micro base station and a single antenna (or a repeater) for the

    tunnel coverage, and install the antenna in the middle of the

    tunnel.

    Long Tunnels Coverage

    For the tunnels longer than 500m, you need to use the distributed

    antenna system or the leaky cable for the coverage.

    For the coverage of still longer tunnels, use amplifiers to amplify

    signals. That is, you can use either the distributed antenna system

    or the leaky cable for the coverage solution. In terms of technical

    indexes and installation space, coverage solution based on leaky

    cable is recommended.

    Tunnels Coverage

    If outside tunnel and within the tunnel belong to the difference cell,

    handover problem will occur. To solve this problem, can consider

    adopting the following methods:

    Adopt the bi-directional antenna for the tunnel coverage, because

    it can provide enough overlapping area for handover.

    Enable special handover algorithms, such as fast level fall

    handover algorithm. In this case, a mobile station can hand over

    to another cell when the signal level falls fast.

    Select the directional antenna with small front-to-back ratio.

    Dynamic PBT

    This technology is based on timeslots, allows a calling subscriber

    to use a timeslot in other TRX.

    When the receive level is lower , channels corresponding to

    identical timeslots in adjacent carriers stop delivering services

    temporarily.

    At this time, the RF channel in the service timeslot and the

    auxiliary channel in the adjacent carrier transmit identical signals,

    whose phase is also the same. The combined signals are stronger,

    thus improving the receiving quality for the subscriber.

    This technology is based on timeslots, allows a calling subscriber to use a timeslot in

    other TRX. A measuring report is used to monitor this subscriber s downlink receive

    level. When the receive level is lower than the preset threshold, Channels

    corresponding to identical timeslots in adjacent carriers stop delivering services

    temporarily. The related RF channel provides PBT as an auxiliary channel. At this

    time, the RF channel in the service timeslot and the auxiliary channel in the adjacent

    carrier transmit identical signals, whose phase is also the same. The combined signals

    are stronger, thus improving the receiving quality for the subscriber.

    The Function of Extended Cell

    In the GSM specifications, the cell coverage is restricted within 35km(63

    TA) . Thus, the coverage radius of the cell cannot exceed 35km. In wide

    and open area where the subscribers are dispersedly distributed, the

    traffic is low, and the infrastructure such as transmission and power

    supply facilities is hard to construct or cannot reach, the cell with a radius

    larger than 35km must be provided.

    If the extended cell technology is adopted, the cell coverage radius can

    reach 120km in an ideal condition. Operators can adopt this technology to

    reduce the number of sites and build their own GSM networks quickly

    with smaller investment. In this way, they can attract mobile subscribers

    in special areas and thus increase the operation revenue.

    The mobile phone should

    Timing Advance (TA)

    Transmission delay is unavoidable in the radio interface. If the mobile station

    moves away from the base station during a call, the further distance the more delay.

    The uplink is as the same.

    If the delay is too high, the timeslots of the signal from a certain mobile station

    and that of the next signal from another mobile station received by the base stationwill overlap each other, thus causing inter-code interference. To avoid this, during a

    call, the measurement report sent from the mobile station to the base station carries a

    delay value. Moreover, the base station should monitor the time when the call arrives

    and send an instruction to the mobile station via the downlink channel every 480ms

    so as to inform the mobile station the time of advance transmission. This time is the

    TA (timing advance), which ranges between 0~63 (0~233s ). The TA value is

    limited by the timing advance code 0~63bit of the GSM system. Therefore, the

    maximum coverage distance of the GSM is 35km. Its calculation is as follows:

    1/2*3.7 s /bit*63bit*c=35km

    {In the formula, 3.7s /bit is the duration per bit (156/577); 63bit is the

    maximum bit number of the time adjustment; c is the light speed (transmission speed

    of the signal); and indicates that the go and return trip of the signal.}

    According to the above description, the distance corresponding to 1bit period is

    554m. Influenced by the multi-path propagation and MS synchronization precision,

    the TA error may reach up to about 3bit (1.6km).

    Dual Timeslot Extended Cell

    The dual-timeslot function is based on the concentric cell. The carrier in

    the underlay cell is configured as the 2-timeslot carrier. The carrier on the

    overlay cell is configured as a common cell. When the cell is configured

    as a 2-timeslot cell, the concentric cell attribute of this cell is automatically

    set to the concentric cell.

    If all carriers in the cell must be configured as 2-timeslot carrier, such

    solution is called the cell-level 2-timeslot solution. In this case, all carriers

    are configured in the overlay cell.

    If some carriers in the cell are configured as common carriers and others

    as 2-timeslot carriers, the BCCH is located on the 2-timeslot carriers,

    such solution is called carrier-level 2-timeslot solution. In this case, the 2-

    timeslot carriers are configured in the underlaid cell and the common

    carriers are configured in the overlaid cell.
