Conclusion GSM & UMTS Link Budget

1dB loss difference from couplers and splitters.
7dB loss from UMTS 64k compared to GSM
UMTS Path loss 6dB higher than GSM
Conclusion:
UMTS antenna output level must be 6dB higher than GSM system
UMTS Indoor coverage needs more boosters than GSM due to the
higher path loss

h Transmission loss of 2000MHz is much higher than the 900MHz;
h The 1/2cable need to be changed into 7/8cable if the cable length
is more than 50m in the branch of original GSM;
h The 1/2cable need to be changed into 7/8cable if the cable length
is more than 30m in the backbone of original GSM.

Antennas lay out

All antennas need to be changed into wide band antennas;

Elevator coverage: one antenna per 3 floors and input power of

antenna port should be 0~12dBm;

Storey coverage: need more antennas and power of antenna port

should be -5~5dBm;

Location of some antenna should be changed if necessary.

Case Study
ConclusionKey Consideration for UMTS IBC Design:
Even Distribution Design by low power output & Close Antenna Distance
Greater UMTS signal path loss than GSM, only penetrates 2 walls at most
Different antenna location and distance according to different coverage areas:
9For hotel, office buildings with high path loss: antenna distance 12-15m;
better to install antenna close to doors along the corridor

9For large scale buildings like gymnasium or stadium with less path loss:
antenna distance between 25- 40m

UMTS IBS Coverage Requirement

High speed area: pilot power -85dBm, Ec/Io 8dB with 50%
loading capacity;

low speed area: pilot power -90dBm, Ec/Io 8dB with 50%
loading capacity;

Voice, video phone service: pilot power -95dBm, Ec/Io -8dB with
50% loading capacity;

Outdoor overflow signal: Ec/Io 15dB within 10m.

Turn-on rate: > 95 % (more than 95% area can be turned on)
Hand-over success probability: > 95 %
