Designing a cellular system - particularly one that incorporates both Macro
cellular and Microcellular networks is a delicate balancing exercise.
The goal is to achieve optimum use of resources and maximum revenuepotential whilst maintaining a high level of system quality.
Full consideration must also be given to cost and spectrum allocationlimitations.

INTRODUCTION TO RF PLANNING
A properly planned system shouldallow capacity to be addedeconomically when traffic demandincreases.
As every urban environment isdifferent, so is every macro celland micro cell network. Henceaccurate planning is essential inorder to ensure that the system
will provide both the increasedcapacity and the improvement innetwork quality where required,especially when deployingMicrocellular systems.

RF planning plays a critical role in the Cellular design process.
By doing a proper RF Planning by keeping the future growth plan in mind wecan reduce a lot of problems that we may encounter in the future and alsoreduce substantially the cost of optimization.
On the other hand a poorly planned network not only leads to many Networkproblems but it also increases the optimization costs and still may not ensurethe desired quality.

INTRODUCTION
In field measurement we have to collect variations due to propagation andslow fading.
The received signals are typically sampled and averaged over spatialwindows called bins.
There are several sampling issues to be considered like
Sampling rate
Averaging window
Number of bins to be measured

SAMPLING CRITEREA
When measuring the RF signal strength certain sampling criteria must be metto eliminate the short-term fading components from the long-term component( I.e. log normal fading )
The RF signal strength measurements must be taken over a radio path ormobile path distance interval of 40, where is the wavelength of the RF signal.
If the distance interval is too short, the short term variation cannot be smoothedout and will affect the local mean.

19/208
DRIVE TEST FOR C.W. TESTING
If the distance interval is too long, the averaged output cannotrepresent the local mean since it washes out the detailed signalchanges due to the terrain variations.
The number of RF measurements taken within the 40 distanceshould be greater than 50.
Depending on the speed of the vehicle during the drive test, thesampling interval in time is selected.
Measurements have to be stopped whenever the vehicle is notmoving.

SAMPLING CRITEREA If f = 1900MHZ, then
= 3 * 108 / 1900 * 106
=0.158 m
40 = 40 * 0.158
= 6.32 m
50 measurements must be recorded every 6.32m or 1 measurement every0.1264m
The conversion from sampling distance to mobile velocity can be done asfollows
minimum sampling rate ( per second ) = v / (0.1264 m/sample)
If velocity of vehicle is 50 kph then
Sampling rate( per second ) = (50000/ 3600) / 0.1264
= 110 samples / sec
TEMS kit cannot be used for this purpose as it can report RF signal strengthmeasurements at a maximum rate of 1 sample per second

WINDOW SIZE In field measurements the interest is on local averages of received signals.
The size of averaging window have to be small enough to capture slowvariations due to shadowing and large enough to average out the fastvariations due to multipath.
A typical range is 20 to 1500 m.
The bin size is typically selected in 40 to 1500m, i.e. all measurements in thissize square are averaged to one value.
Normally the post processing tool takes care of averaging the collected dataover different bins.

NUMBER OF
BINS
The predicted and measured signal strengths for all bins within the drive routeis compared and the best set of correction factors to minimize the predictionerrors is determined.
All the bins within the coverage area cannot be drive tested. So a large enough
sample set should be considered. The more the number of bins, the larger the confidence level of results.
Generally for acceptable confidence at least 300 to 400 bins have to beconsidered.

TRANSMITTER SETUP
If the propagation test is being done for model tuning to produce a genericmodel for macro cells, then a high point in the particular area has to beselected.
The transmitter and the transmit antenna will be placed at this point (say the
roof of the building ). The transmit antenna is connected to the transmitter via a RF cable.
Check to see that the cable is connected properly and tight.
Loosely connected or faulty cable can increase the VSWR.
A test frequency has to selected from the frequency band allocated to theoperator. Set the transmitter to this test frequency.

TEST SITE SELECTION
Site selection is based on a number of criteria. It may not be possible to satisfyall these criteria at the same time, but it is important to select the best sitesavailable.
Drive test sites should be selected to give a good representative sample of the
system coverage area. The exact number of sites required will depend on thesize of the system coverage area and the variability of the characteristics of thecoverage area.

All terrain and clutter types in the area should be represented in thedrive test data for proper prediction tuning.
Typical terrain types are: Flat, Rolling Hills, Large Hills,
Mountains
Typical clutter types are: Water, Open Land, Forest,Commercial / Industrial, Low Density Urban, Medium DensityUrban, High Density Urban, City Center, Airport.
City maps, topographical maps and aerial photographs can beuseful in determining the terrain and clutter types for an area. Itmay also be necessary to drive the area and observe building typesand density.

TEST SITE SELECTION
Site Availability
Test sites must be available for use during the drive test.
The site owner/supervisor should approve access to the site for as long asneeded to complete the testing. This may involve multiple visits to the site,possibly on short notice.
Test sites must also be physically accessible to allow setup of the transmitterequipment and mounting of the antenna. For this reason building top sites arepreferred to tower sites.

BUILDING SITE SELECTIONBUILDING SITE SELECTION
When inspecting a building site the rooftop should be checked for anyobstructions that would interfere with signal propagation. This could includeobjects on the rooftop itself or other nearby buildings or structures.
The antenna location should be selected and a sketch of the rooftop made toidentify this location relative to other objects nearby.
Photographs should be taken of the location where the antenna will be mountedand in all directions looking away from the site.

TOWER SITE SELECTION
When inspecting a tower site the best location to mount the antenna to the
tower must be deter-mined. This should be selected such that the tower doesnt interfere with the
propagation pattern of the transmit antenna. This will usually require that theantenna be above the tower or on an arm extending from the side of the tower.
The area around the tower should be checked for any obstructions that wouldinterfere with signal propagation.

MODEL TUNING
Propagation models use clutter and terrain data to predict cellcoverage at a site. However usually the terrain and clutter dataavailable from the maps are not perfect.
This means that the actual cell coverage could be different from thepredicted cell coverage. This could in turn result in wrong celldesigning.
To avoid this model tuning is done.

In model tuning data collected from the propagation test is loadedon the planning tool.
This data represents the real life condition cell coverage.
The prediction for that cell is then done using the same conditionsas were for the propagation tests (i.e. using the same antenna type,same height of the antenna at the site, same downtilts, same
transmit power etc.

MODEL TUNING
Ideally both the propagation test cell coverage and the predicted cellcoverage should match.
If they match then the model does not require to be tuned.
If the models do not match then the certain parameters in thepropagation model equation are altered so that they both match.

Once both the cell coverage match the model is then said to betuned.
Now the actual antenna type, height of antenna, transmit power are
used and prediction done.
This prediction can then be assumed to be correct.
Cell designing is then done using this prediction.

MODEL TUNING
Ideally model tuning needs to be done for all the sites.
However in many cases , the Network is divided into different clutter
types (around 7 to 8) (e.g. urban, dense urban, semi urban, rural etc.)and models are tuned for each clutter types.
The sites are then categorized in these clutter types and then fitted inthe model tuned for that clutter type.
This method though not perfect is widely accepted and saves lot of
time and money for the operator.

What is antenna?
An antenna is the converter between cable boundedelectromagnetic waves and free space waves.
Antenna installation configurations depend on the operators preferences.
It is important to keep sufficient decoupling distances between antennas.
If TX and RX direction use separated antennas, it is advisable to keep a horizontalseparation between the antennas in order to reduce the TX signal power at the RXinput stages.

Channel number the carrier frequency is designated by theabsolute radio frequency channel number (ARFCN). The frequencyvalue of the carrier n in the lower band is called FL(n) while FU(n) is
the corresponding frequency value in the upper band. Frequenciesare in MHz
P-GSM-900:
FL (n) = 890 + 0.2 n with 1 < n < 124
FU (n) = FL (n) + 45
E-GSM-900:
FL (n) = 890 + 0.2 x n with 1 < n < 124
FL (n) = 890 + 0.2 x (n-1024) with 975 < n < 1024
FU (n) = FL (n) + 45
Coverage, Capacity, and Quality
-
7/31/2019 Asset Planning Trainning
149/208
Providing coverage is usually considered as the first and most
important activity of a new cellular operator. For a while, everynetwork is indeed coverage driven. However, the coverage isnot the only thing. It provides the means of service and shouldmeet certain quality measures.
The starting point is a set of coverage quality requirements.
To guarantee a good quality in both uplink and downlinkdirection, the power levels of BTS and MS should be inbalance at the edge of a cell. Main output results of thepower link budgets are:
Maximum path loss that can be tolerated between the MS andthe BTS
Maximum output power level of the BTS transmitter.
Coverage, Capacity, and Quality
-
7/31/2019 Asset Planning Trainning
150/208
These values are calculated as a function ofdesign constraints:
BTS and MS receiver sensitivity levels
MS output power level
Antenna gain
Diversity reception
Losses in combiners, cables, etc.
Coverage, Capacity, and Quality
-
7/31/2019 Asset Planning Trainning
151/208
The cell ranges are derived with propagation loss formulas such asOkumura-Hata, using inputs of maximum path loss, differences inthe operating environments and the quality targets in different cellranges.
The traffic capacityrequirements have to be combined with thecoverage requirements, by allocating frequencies. This also mayhave impact on the cell range.

The selection of site configurations, antennas and cables is the coreof the coverage planning strategy. The right choice will providecost savings and guarantees smooth network evolution.
Some typical configurations are:
3-sector sites for (sub)urban areas

omni sites for rural areas
Coverage Planning Strategies
-
7/31/2019 Asset Planning Trainning
153/208
These are not the ultimate solutions, decisions should bebased on a careful analysis
Cell Range and Coverage Area
For any site configuration, the cell ranges can bedetermined given the equipment losses and gains. The sitecoverage areas can be calculated then and these will lead tothe required number of sites for a given coverage region.This makes it possible to estimate the cost, e.g. per km2, to
be used for strategic decisions.

Fade Margin
-
7/31/2019 Asset Planning Trainning
159/208
The concept of a fade margin is to reserve extra signal power toovercome potential fading.
Assume :
The mobile radio system needs an signal level of Pr dBm atthe receiver
The maximum likely fade (loss) is calculated to be L(fade)dB
The a received signal level of Pr dBm can be ensured by
transmitting enough power for a normal received signal level of (Pr+ L(fade)) dBm
Fade Margin
-
7/31/2019 Asset Planning Trainning
160/208
The fade margin is normally equal to the maximum expectedfade or to a smaller value. The value is chosen in such a waythat the threshold value is undershot in only a lowpercentage of time.
For this purpose, it is necessary to know the probabilitydensity function of the fading.
In RF planning, the impact of Rayleigh fading is taken intoaccount by implementing an extra fade margin of 8 dB.
Multipath Propagation
-
7/31/2019 Asset Planning Trainning
161/208
The radio wave may be reflected, from a hill, a building, a truck,an
aeroplane or a discontinuity in the atmosphere. In some cases, the
reflected signal is significantly attenuated, while in others almost
all
the radio energy is reflected and very little absorbed. The result isthat
not one but many different paths are followed between the
transmitter
and receiver. This is known as Multipath Propagation

Reflection and multipath propagation can cause positive andnegative effects :-
Coverage extension
Multipath propagation allows radio signal to reach behindhills and buildings and into tunnels
The latter effect is known as ducting
Multipath Propagation
-
7/31/2019 Asset Planning Trainning
164/208
Constructive and destructive interferenceThe interference due to multipath propagationmanifest itself in the following 3 most importantways:-
Random phase shift creates rapid fluctuations in the
signal strength known as Rayleigh fading
A delay spread in the received signal causes each symbolto overlap with adjacent symbols : intersymbolinterference
Random frequency modulation due to different dopplershifts on different paths
Propagation Modeling
-
7/31/2019 Asset Planning Trainning
165/208
Statistical propagation models
These calculate a median signal for each pixel. The level withinthis pixel varies about the median in a way that can only beanalysed statistically.
Local mean signal levels are distributed around the pixelmedian with a log-normal probability distribution.
Formulas derived from measurements (e.g. Okumura-Hata).
No obstacles assumed to be close to the BTS antenna.
Deterministic propagation models
Take into account individual buildings and use ray tracingtechniques.
Make use of high resolution map data (at least 10m).
Cellular Architecture
-
7/31/2019 Asset Planning Trainning
166/208
The essential principles of the cellular architectures are :-
Low power transmitters with antenna heights between 20 50 m
Small coverage zones (cells), typical macro cell radius 3 30 km
Frequency reuse (factor n = 3, 4, 7 ... )
Cell splitting to increase local capacity
Micro and Pico cells act as patches for hot spots, tunnelsand buildings
Balance is to be found between conflicting requirements of :
Coverage
Traffic capacity
Cell Clustering
-
7/31/2019 Asset Planning Trainning
167/208
Frequency reuse is the core concept of the cellular mobile radiosystem, given the fact that the number of allowed frequencies isfixed. A frequency can be reused simultaneously in different cells,provided that the cells using the same frequency set are far enoughseparated so that co-channel interference is kept at an acceptablelevel most of the time.
The total frequency spectrum allocation can be divided into K
frequency reuse patterns.
Cell Types
-
7/31/2019 Asset Planning Trainning
168/208
The 2 main cell types are :-
Omni cells :
Coverage is in principle acircle, but in reality arough pattern
Sector cells :
2 sectors (e.g. forhighways)
3 sectors
Cell Coverage Area
Omni cell (Hexagon) = 2.6 R2
Sector cell (Hexagon) = 1.96 R2

Capacity can be understood in simplest terms as the number of mobilesubscribers a BTS can cater for at a given time.
Capacity planning is a very important process in the network rollout as itdefines the number of base stations required and their respective capacities.
When the sector utilization more then 100% then we will go for a newcapacity site in the nearby area.
Capacity plans are made in the preplanning phase for initial estimations, aswell as later in a detailed manner.
The number of base stations required in an area comes from the coverageplanning, and the number of transceivers required is derived from capacityplanning as it is directly associated with the frequency re-use factor.
Capacity Planning
-
7/31/2019 Asset Planning Trainning
171/208
There are three essential parameters required for capacity planning:estimated traffic, average antenna height, and frequency Re-use.
Estimated Traffic:- Traffic in the network is dependent on the usercommunication rate and user movement in the network. Trafficestimation in the network is given in terms of erlangs. One erlang (1Erl) is defined as the amount of traffic generated by the user when he orshe uses one traffic channel for one hour (this one hour is usually thebusy hour of the network)
Average Antenna Height:-The concept of the average antenna height isthe basis of the frequency re-use pattern determining capacitycalculations in a cellular network. If Antenna Height is low then thecovered area is small in an Urban Area, Exactly the opposite is the casein micro cellular environment.
Frequency Re-use:-Frequency re-use basically means how often a
frequency can be re-used in the network. If the average number of thetransreceivers and the total number of frequencies are known, thefrequency re-use factor can be calculated.

City Is coming under Dense Urban, Urban & Suburban.
City Planning requires from the planners is generally a network design thatcovers 100% of the area. Fulfilling this requirement is usually impossible, soefforts are made design a network that covers all the regions that maygenerate traffic and to have holes only in no-traffic zones.
The cells (sites) that are constructed in these areas can be classified as outdoorand indoor cells. Outdoor cells can be further classified as macro-cellular,micro-cellular or pico-cellular.
Macro Cells:- When the base station antennas are placed above theaverage roof-top level, the cell is a known as a macro-cell. A macro-cellrange may vary from a couple of kilometers to 35 km So this concept isused for rural Environment.
Micro Cells:- When the base station antennas are below the average roof-top level, then the cell is known as a micro-cell. The area that can becovered is small, so this concept is applied in Dense urban and urbanareas. The range of micro-cells is from a few hundred meters to a couple ofkilometers.
Pico Cells:-Pico-cells are defined as the same layer as micro-cells and areusually used for indoor coverage.
