When we have a new LTE site, what should we do before and after site integration?
plan engineering parameters(EPT) for this site
prepare scripts
execute scripts
What software can we use when working for a new LTE site?
plan engineering parameters(EPT) for this site->U-net
prepare scripts->SmartRNO
execute scripts->U2000
In this course we only refer to U-net and SmartRNO.

When we want to plan EPT for LTE sites, we usually have 2 steps:
1. prepare parameters for planning;
2. use software to plan essential parameters;
*can we plan parameters manually?

We have lots of parameters for 1 site. Which parameters we need to plan &
check for every site?

PRACH Planning Principle
Huawei Confidential
Page 14
Normally we use U-net to plan PCI/PRACH.

This software has lots of function, in this course we only talk about the 4G EPT
planning part.
When we need to use U-net to plan parameters, we need to prepare 3 excel files for
this software:
Site
Site
Transceiver_simcell_simplified
plified
Trasciever
Cell
Transceiver_full
Normally we use simplified excel files. The full file is more complex.

cell_full
After we prepared the 3 files, we can start to plan parameters with U-net.
1.Build a new project

with LTE-FDD
template, or open an
existed project
2.Import electronic
maps
Huawei Confidential
3.Import site list,

transceiver list and cell
list
Page 16
4. Double check the following parameters:

Transceiver: Antenna
Cell: Frequency Band, Max Power, PB, RS Power, Prach Reuse Distance, PCI
Reuse Distance, PA, Transmission Mode.
*the default reuse tier of PCI & PRACH is 2. Normally this is not enough. Wed better use reuse tier 3 or
4.

5.Neighbour planning.

6. PCI planning.
Confirm the available PCI value range(for example 0-494).
Huawei Confidential
Page 19
7. PRACH planning.
Confirm the available PRACH value range(for example 0-802).
Huawei Confidential
Page 20
8.Check the result.

All cells have been assigned PCI & PRACH or not?
The reuse distance is correct or not?

After we prepared the 3 files, we can start to simulate LTE coverage.

4. Double check the following parameters:

Transceiver: Antenna
Cell: Frequency Band, Max Power, PB, RS Power, Main Propagation Model,
PA, Transmission Mode,
*the reuse distance and tier of PCI and PRACH is not important in coverage simulation.

5. Select the region for coverage simulation.

6. Choose the simulation type.

Normally we use default parameters for simulation.

result of simulation.

Normally we use SmartRNO to plan neighbours and output scripts.

This software has lots of function, in this course we only talk about the neighbour
planning part.
When we need to use SmartRNO to plan neighbours, we need to prepare
engineering parameters for it.

What is TAC and TAL
Huawei Confidential

TA Planning Principle

Page 36
TAC/TAL is a key parameter for LTE. Normally we keep the edge of TAC area same
to 2G/3G LAC area. If the LAC of some sites are mixed, we need to suggest our
customer to adjust TAC or LAC(rehoming).
When we need to plan
TAC/TAL for a new site, we
have 2 steps:
1.use Mapinfo to show the
distribute of eNodeBs.
(Google Earth and other
software are also
recommended)
Huawei Confidential
Page 37
2.Check the TAC/TAL around the new site. Keep the TAC/TAL same to the sites
around it.
If the LAC is mixed and the customer reject to adjust TAC/LAC, then the TAC
should follow the customers request and keep mixed.

According to 3GPP protocol, there are 504 PCI(0-503) and 838 root sequence
index(0-837).
Normally we will not use all of them in our network. We will remain several PCI and
PRACH for mobileshelter.
For example, we use PCI 0-494, root sequence index 0-819 for normal eNodeB.
Then we have 9 PCI(495-503) and 18 root sequence index (820-837) at leisure. We
can apply them in mobileshelters. If 1 mobileshelter have 3 sectors, cell radius is
2km, that means we need assign 1 PCI and 2 root sequence index for 1 sector.
Then we can plan PCI and PRACH manually:
Cell ID
Cell radius(m)
