Access Techniques
What do we mean by Access techniques?
These are the Techniques through which many MSs can access the shared media
which is the air interface.
i. FDMA ( Frequency Division Multiple Access)
Each MS is assigned a dedicated frequency through which he can talk.
In GSM System were using TDMA over FDMA where the frequency band
is divided into no. of frequencies each of which is shared among no. of
MSs, where each MS will be assigned a certain TS on certain
frequency.

Sites Surveys
The sites where the radio equipment will be placed are visited, it is necessary
to assess the real environment to determine whether it is a suitable location or
not.
20
11/08/2014
System Design
After the surveys from field are performed the design for each site is done
including: Site Structure, Height, Azimuth, Tilts, Types of Cabinets, Antennas
and Feeders.
Implementation
This includes sites installation, commissioning testing the hardware and drive
testing to ensure that the sites are behaving well.
System Tuning
After the system has been installed it is continuously monitored and evaluated
to determine how well it meets the demand. This is called System Tuning and
it involves:
Checking that the final plan has been successfully implemented.
Evaluating the customer complaints.
Checking the network performance and parameters settings.
The system needs constant retuning due to the fact that the traffic and the
number of subscribers continuously increase.
The network may reach the point where it must be expanded so that it can
manage the increasing load and new traffic and now the coverage and traffic
analysis is performed and the cell planning cycle is repeated.

We have many types for RF sites having different structures and design.
The choice of the RF site used will be during the validation phase, where the
planner will be responsible to choose the proper site type and structure based
on his target for coverage.

The internal combiner in the DTRU is used to combine two signals from the
same band to be transmitted on the same cable.
The combiner is a broadband one that doesnt need tuning.
The combining stage will result in 3 dB loss in the output signal.
If we need to make expansion ( connect 2 DTRUs = 4 frequencies to be
connected to the same antenna) then the combiner should be used.

TMA (Tower Mounted Amplifier)
The TMA is installed direct after the BTS antenna.
It is used to enhance the uplink signal received by the antenna before being
deteriorated through the feeders.
The use of TMAs is important due to the fact that the output signal from the
MSs are transmitting in the uplink with low power.
With TMAs the received signal will be amplified so even when it is attenuated
through the cables it will reach the BTS with acceptable level.
In the downlink, the TMA will add 0.3 dB losses, while in the uplink it will add
gain nearly = 24 dB.
Hardware Equipments
Antenna
It is the device used to convert the electrical signal from the cables to an
electromagnetic radiations propagating on the air interface.
Isotropic Antenna: Is a theoretical/reference model for an antenna propagating
equally in all directions.
Omni Antennas: Propagates equally in one plan.
Directive Antennas: Propagates in certain direction.

Hardware Equipments
Antenna
Antenna Gain:
Since Antennas are passive elements, then the only way to have gain in
any direction is to increase the directivity by concentrating the radiations
in the desired direction.
Now the Antenna gain can be defined as the ratio between the power of
the max direction of the antenna to the power obtained by an isotropic
antenna in the same direction.
Gain for Typical directive antennas = 18 dBi and for Omni antennas = 11
dBi

Beam Width:
Defined as the angel between the max direction to the direction where the
power is reduced to the half in the max direction.

Hardware Equipments
Antenna
Beam Width:
The standard antenna has a horizontal beam width of 65deg, this means
that the gain at 32.5deg is 3 dB less than the maximum gain ( i.e. half the
power)
Typically the vertical beam width is 7 degrees.
Hardware Equipments
Antenna
Tilting:
Normally when the antenna is correctly mounted, then the vertical beam
of the antenna is pointing towards the horizon.
Lowering the beam below the horizon is known as Down tilt, and when
the beam is directed above the horizon then it is called Up tilt
33
11/08/2014
Hardware Equipments
Antenna
Tilting:
According to how the tilt is implemented; we have two types: Mechanical
tilting and Electrical tilting.
Mechanical tilting: the physical body of the antenna is tilted, which cause
tilting in the main beam.
Electrical titling: we change the phase of the current fed the internal
dipoles which will result in tilting the main beam.
Hardware Equipments
Antenna
Tilting:
With mechanical down tilting the main beam will be down tilted which is
useful but this will result in up tilting the back lobe which may interfere on
another cells.

Diversity:
Defined as the redundancy in receiving or transmitting the signal.
The purpose is to overcome the attenuation and fading that may
encounter the signal while propagating in air.
Typically the antenna diversity results in a 3.5 dB gain.
We have two types of diversity: Space Diversity and Polarization Diversity.
Hardware Equipments
Antenna
Diversity:
With Space diversity well use 2 antennas that should have separation =
12-18
(=0.33m for GSM900 and =0.17m for GSM1800) in order to obtain the
desired gain.

The cell planning process results in a cell plan with nominal site positions.
If the operator has access to existing locations (ex: deal with TE, Police,..etc)
then it is necessary to adapt the cell plan according to these locations.
The proposed network design shows only approximate site locations but the
exact site position depends on the possibilities of constructing a site on the
suggested location.
39
11/08/2014
Non technical issues may contribute in preferring one location than the other
provided that both of them verify the radio requirements:
Obtaining the permits from the different authorities like civil aviation and
military authorities.
Lease contract should be agreed upon with the owner of the site.
Access roads: the site must be accessible for material transport and
installation.
Space requirements for the shelter and passes for the feeders.
Space to construct the antenna supports.

Coverage Dimensioning
Coverage Dimensioning
Interference Margin:
Since the frequencies are reused, then the received carrier power must be
large enough in order to compensate for the interference from
surroundings.
The interference margin depends on the frequency reuse, traffic load and
the desired percentage of area coverage. Based on measurements in
normal system an Interference Margin of 2dB is adequate i.e. IFmargin =
2dB
47

Body Loss:
Since the humans body absorbs some of the energy, then a body loss
margin is used to compensate for this power dissipation
The recommended Body Loss by the GSM standards is:
BL = 5dB (800/900 MHz Band) , BL = 3dB (1800/1900 MHz Band)

In our previous example for Urban clutter ( GSM 900MHz- band),
Lp=154 dB
Assuming HBS=35m and HMS=1.5m
Lp = A 13.82 log HBS + (44.9-6.55 log HBS ) log d(km) a (HMS )
Lp = 146.8 13.82 log 35 + (44.9-6.55 log 35 ) log d(km) [ 3.2(log
11.75*1.5)2-4.97]
Lp = 146.8 21.34 + 34.786 log d(km) + ( 0.001)
Then log d(km) = 0.76 then d = 6.6 km
Hata Okumuras mode doesnt give accurate values with Dense Urban
and Urban areas when the typical cell radius is less than 1 km, so it is
used with rural and open areas only.

Given that: Pout MS = 33 dBm, Lf BTS = 2.6 dB, G TMA-UL = 4 dB ,
BTSsensitivity = -110 dBm, Ga BTS = 18 dBi Gd BTS = 3.5 dB , then we can calculate the
path loss as follows:
Lp = (Pout MS + G TMA-UL - Lf BTS + Ga BTS + Gd BTS ) PinBTS
PinBTS = BTSsensitivity + RFmargin + IFmargin + BLmargin + LNFmarg(o)
= -110+3+2+5+4.9=-95.1

Now
from downlink budget calculations dDL = 500m
while
from the uplink budget calculations dUL = 420m,
then were going to design on the lower value.

Now in order to guarantee that there is a power balance between the DL and the UL
paths, weve to recalculate the BTS output power that will achieve this balance.

If the DL and UL coverage are not balanced as in

will receive a good DL signal but their UL signal wont

Erlang-B table: is used to calculate how much traffic a cell can bear given
certain no. of Traffic Channels and certain GOS.
Example:
With a cell configured with 4 frequencies, then the number of available TCH
channels = 4*8 2 =30 TCHs, with GOS=2% then using Erlang-B we can
calculate the maximum traffic on this cell = 21.932 Er
If the average traffic/user = 30 mEr (i.e. average call/user = 108 seconds= 1.8
minutes) then at peak (busy) hour this cell can support 21.932/30m = 730 users

in the busy hour 150 users each will talk for 108 seconds = 1.8 minutes (i.e. each
user generates 30mE), calculate the cell range if each cell will be configured with 4
frequencies.
Solution:
For each cell, no. of TCHs = 4*8 2 =30 TCHs, with GOS=2% then using Erlang-B
Table we can find that each cell can bear up to 21.932 Er
But each user generates 30mE, then this cell can serve (21.9/30e-3) = 732
subscriber.
According to the users distribution, then each 100 m we have 150 subscriber, then
for each cell the 732 subscriber will be distributed on 100*(732/150) = 487 meters.

should have at least 4 frequencies. then we should have at least 3 frequencies.
4 freq = 30 available TCHs 3 freq/cell = 22 available TCHs/ cell, i.e. both
Now Trunking efficiency cells will have now 44 available TCHs
T = 100* (20/ 30) = 66.67% Now Trunking efficiency
T = 100* (20/ 44) = 45.5 %
It is apparent from the above that using 1 cell will be more efficient than
splitting the traffic between 2 cells.

Frequency Planning
The same set of frequencies will be reused every cluster, where the cluster is
formed of defined no. of cells.
When applying certain frequency plan strategy, some issues should be taken
into consideration like: Available frequency spectrum, Subscribers distribution,
