    This document provides guidelines for radio network design for GSM900 systems. It discusses equipment characteristics, including base station and mobile station power levels. It covers cell coverage thresholds and acceptance tests. It also addresses propagation modeling using Okumura-Hata and COST231 models, power budget and balance calculations, and methods for determining cell size based on these factors. The goal is to ensure adequate coverage across all cells based on expected link losses and fading margins.

    Site Equipment
    Feeders & jumpers

    Apart from feeders, additional losses arise in jumpers and connectors Typical values are 0.5 dB for every jumper and 0.1 dB per connector External Diplexer 0.3 dB

    Cell Coverage
    When planning the coverage of a cell it is not sufficient to consider the MS/BTS sensitivity as planning criterion

    Additional losses to be accounted for include body loss, interference loss, & Rayleigh fading

    Cell Coverage
    Design levels are chosen according to the environment and clutter type

    Cell Coverage
    Apart from fast fading, the signal fluctuates in a way that deviates from the global mean according to a normal distribution, thus called Log-Normal distribution

    Cell Coverage
    Log Normal fading margins for indoor environments

    For Indoor coverage:

    LNF(o+i) = (LNF(o)2 + LNF(i)2)

    Cell Coverage
    Coverage Acceptance Tests
    The aim of such tests is to measure signal strength (SS) and estimate whether the received signal corresponds to required SS
    Note that power control downlink should be switched off during test Make sure you drive test with power control off

    Cell Planning
    Propagation model
    The standard model is Okumura Hata model:
    Lb = 69.55 + 26.16 log f 13.82 log HB a(HM) + (44.9 6.55 log HB) log d
    Valid for: 150 f 1500 MHz 1 d 20 km 30 hb 200 m 1 hm 10 m HB = base station antenna height [m] R = distance from transmitter [km] HM = mobile station antenna height [m] a(HM) = 3.2(log11.75HM)2 - 4.97; a (1.5) = 0

    The cell range is the distance R corresponding to maximum allowed path loss Lpathmax:
    R = 10^a, where a = [Lpathmax - Kr + 13.82logHB + a(HM)]/[44.9 - 6.55logHB]

    Propagation model
    For Urban cells (range less than 1km), COST 231 model is used:
    Lpath = 143.2 + 38logR 18log(HB 17) [dB]

    According to Walfish-Ikegami, the cell range is :


    R = 10^a, where a = [Lpathmax - 143.2 + 18log(HB 17)]/38

    Power Budget
    Power budget calculates how much power enters a receiver from a set output power at the transmitter

    DL: PinMS = PoutBTS Lf+j LTMA + Gant Lslant Lpath


    UL: PinBTS = PoutMS Lpath + Gant + Gdiv Lf+j

    Cell Planning
    Power Balance
    Path balance implies that
    TMA case

    the coverage on uplink path is

    Assuming path loss on uplink equals path loss on downlink :

    PoutBTS = PoutMS + Gdiv + Lf+j + LTMA + Lslant + PinMS - PinBTS

    equal to coverage on the


    downlink path

    sens= Mssens BTSsens= PinMS PinBTS


    When uplink is stronger, the output power of the BTS should be set to maximum. If downlink is stronger then BTs output power should be adjusted to calculated balanced output power.

    Power Balance
    No TMA case PoutBal = PoutMS + Gdiv + Lslant + sens

    The corresponding EIRP is calculated as: EIRP = PoutBal - Lf+j + Gant - Lslant
