Umbrella
Cell :
1)BTS
stationed at height that is generally higher than the average building
height. Within coverage area, the
umbrella cell include several macro-cells.
2)The
frequency utilization at the umbrella cell is lesser.
3)Usually,
umbrella cell is provided at urban area where there are uplifted bridges and
light rails. Along this uplifted bridges
and light rails, the mobile can travel at high speed.
4)In
a middle sized city where there are many high buildings, umbrella cells are
also utilized.
5)Umbrella
cells can provide coverage solution for high-rised building and frequency interference.
Macro
cell :
1)The antenna is mounted slightly above the
average height of the buildings.
Coverage area of the antenna is usually several streets consisting of
several BTSs.
2)Carry
the network’s core traffic intensity.
3)The
suggested distance between the BTSs should not be smaller than 0.4 km.
Micro
cell :
1)The
antenna is mounted at the level lower than the average building height.
2)Antenna
is usually mounted at the ground floor of the building wall or in the interior
of the building.
3)Coverage
area is usually : one street long OR part of the street OR in the interior of
the building.
4)The
utilization of the frequencies is rather high.
5)Micro
cell is used to cover the blind spot area among the macro cells and carry the
traffic at the hot spot area.
Capability planning
•
traffic model
-grade
of service GOS、average traffic per subscriber
during busy hour( erlang )、subscriber density
•BTS total amount
-total
coverage area、coverage area/ BTS
•channel
configuration
•proportion
of control
and traffic channels /cell
Prediction
of mobile capacity can be done through
the following criterion :
1)Base on the analysis of the traffic of
fixed network.
2)Base
on the speed of the increase of mobile subscribers.
Analysis
of subscriber density can be done through the following criterion :
1)Business area.
2)Important
governmental department.
3)Airport,
bus – stop.
4)Office
area and residential area.
Note
:
1)Base
on the amount of traffic intensity, the configuration of the BTS ‘s TCH and
SDCCH can be derived.
2)Coverage
planning and capacity planning can be analyzed together.
3)A
change in the coverage area will effect the load of the cell.
4)Hot
spot area ‘s traffic should be considered and capacity planned carefully.
5)
Frequency reuse can be utilized for capacity planning.
Site survey
•Determining an ideal position of
Base Station site
•Survey for determined station site.
•Decision of parameter design.
Steps
involved in the BTS site survey :
1)Firstly,
we considered the ideal position of the BTS.
2)As
according to the position of the BTS, we do a drive test.
3)Either
through rental or purchase, confirm whether we can have the designated position
for the BTS’s location.
4)Confirm
whether the basic requirements ( power supply, transmission lines and wireless
propagation ) can be met.
5)Draw
up the BTS engineering drawings ( BTS floor plan, and antenna position ).
When
the BTS’s site survey has been completed, the basic cell planning is
completed.
Base site survey preparation
Gathering information from site
survey
•Population distribution
•Traffic Distribution
• Major Streets
• City Structure
• Local Customs
• Mountains 、Coastlines.etc
Base station survey——site selection(1)
Principle for Selection of Base Station
Criterions
of BTS site selection:
1)The distance difference between the final
location and the ideal location of the BTS should not be more than one quarter
of the BTS coverage area’s radius.
2)Under
no effect of the designated location of the BTS, try to reuse the existing
resources ( antenna tower, transmission line and power supply ). In this way, the capital investment and
construction time can be cut down.
3)It
is recommended not to install BTSs at the border of the urban area, sub-urban
area and high hill ( 200 to 300 m above sea level ). This is done for ease of controlling the
coverage area and cut down the difficulty of engineering work. In addition, maintenance work is more easier.
4)The
location of new BTS should be chosen at places where good transport
accessibility, good power line accessibility and good environmental safety and
good space saving are achieved.
5)Avoid
choosing locations where there are others high power transmitters, high power
radars and others interference sources.
6)Avoid
locating the BTS near to the bushes of tree where it will cause fast fading.
7)Take
note of the reflections and diffraction when the location of the BTS is
located near to the lake and metallic building material.
8)When
BTS location is situated within the urban area, locations of BTS can be located
at the different levels of the building so as to materialize the multilayer
cell structure.
9)At
the initial network construction, it is important that the coverage area
include important areas.

How to choose Base Station Site.

Criterions
of the location of antenna :
1)Whether any blockage in the first fresno
zone of the antenna’s propagation path.
2)Do
the location of the antennas satisfy the inter-modulation criterion?
3)Is
the antenna suitable?
Equipment
room engineering drawings consist of :
1)Position of the BTS.
2)Locations
of the transmission line and power supply.
Considerations
in antenna system :
1)Type of antenna.
2)Type
of feeder cable.
3)Antenna
height.
4)Directional
angle of the antenna.
5)Degree
of the antenna’s down-tilt.
Network Planning Tool-ASSET
•Coverage Planning
• Traffic Analysis
• Neighbour Cell Planning
• Frequency Planning
• Interference Analysis
ASSET
software is a common software for doing nominal cell planning. With the usage of a 3-D digital map, and
accurate coefficient constants, the coverage areas of the network can be
accurately being simulated and predicted.
The
analysis of the ASSET is output in a graphic and data format. Base on the output, the system designer can
make an evaluation and do adjustments.
The
coverage prediction is largely effected by whether accurate propagation model
that is being used. ASSET support correction of CW model.
Coverage prediction
The
initial planning and survey is the basis for the coverage prediction.

The BDM (Building Distribution Model)map depict the location and height of the building on the each square unit of the digital map.BDM map is used on micro cell where there is relatively large traffic load.
Digital map use the data recorded to output the digital map.
The recorded database have two types.The first database type output the grid map.The second database type output the grid data.
The recorded data has the following types :high resolution database, digital terrain model’s database, digital elevation model’s database and clutter’s database.
The resolution can be divided into the following types : 5 meter resolution, 20 meter resolution and 100 meter resolution.Resolution of the map depict the size of the grid of thedigital map.
