1 Abstract
This document presents the UMTS RF Design for BSNL in 5 circles of south zone,
which are A.P., Chennai, Karnataka, Kerala & Tamil Nadu.
Huaweis UMTS RF design strictly followed BSNLs tender requirements, which
contains the link budget, radio network dimensioning and simulation for total 134 towns.
This

4 Link budget & Simulation

This section presents the RF Planning procedure and results conducted for BSNL. It

consisted of UMTS RF planning for the cities as specified by BSNL in the tender
document. The studied area includes 4 different types of environment, which can be
categorised into Dense Urban (DU), Urban (U), Suburban (SU) and Rural (RA).
Since the UMTS design is a data oriented network, it is important to maintain a low
Io level, reasonable cell radius and consistent quality of service.
The planning sequence includes the following main steps:
1.
Generate the Link Budget using the BSNLs assumptions and parameters.
2.
Generate input data files and define parameter values to be used (i.e. traffic
map, RF propagation prediction), based on data provided by BSNL.
3.
Define the polygon of each clutter on the 3D digital map.
4.
Finish the site layout and predict the coverage and quality of network on the
simulation platform
The UMTS simulation platform of Huawei named GENEX U-Net is used to support
BSNLs UMTS project.
4.1 Link budget

Based on the inputs given in the tender documents the various Uplink & Downlink
Link Budgets for various RAB is generated,the link budget for AMR 12.2 Kbps document

4.3 Simulation plots

For each city, 6 simulation plots have been generated for evaluate the UMTS
network performance.
RSCP, is the the received power on one code measured on the primary
CPCICH, the common primary pilot channel.
Ec/Io,
which
relates
to
the
energy
per
chip
(prior
to
de-
scrambling/spreading) divided by the interference in the system. The

measure is extremely important as it provides the basic network coverage.
The Best Ec/Io image can be used to evaluate the down-link coverage
condition.
Eb/No, which is defined as the energy per bit per noise power density. In
reality, the noise is not only due to mobile receiver thermal noise (kTB
noise) but also due to noise from other signal sources.
Best server, identifies all the bins associated with a server which have that
server as the dominant pilot.
Handover status, portrays geographic regions where a subscriber unit

would experience a particular state of soft/softer handover.
Throughput, this image consists of colored pixels that represent the position
and assigned data rate value for each of the subscriber units.
5 Conclusion and Summary

The coverage predictions provide a guideline for the expected coverage
performance for subscribers placed and positioned in the coverage expectation boundary

given by BSNL. The coverage requirements as provided in the BSNL tender have been
satisfied by the above design.
Please consider that the design is based on the 3D digital map. The RF designs
have been performed with the boundary conditions and coverage area as indicated by
BSNL. The cities have been designed based on the clutter segregation as provided by
BSNL. However in real time deployment there may be some inaccuracies of the data that
has been provided. For such cases the designs will be mutually discussed and finalized
post award.
The data provided by BSNL has been used for calculating the infrastructure
requirements for the new standalone 3G sites. However there will be cases where the
new standalone 3G sites will be co located with the new 2G sites in the same cities.
