Frequency Spectrum Allocated by PTA

Below is the Frequency Spectrum assigned by PTA
(Pakistan Telecommunication Authority) for using
Broadband Technologies in 3.5 GHz band.

Spectrum Utilization & Area of Improvement

Major Focus

Wi-Tribe is currently using its 21Mhz license band of

Channel frequency 3457.25 3478.25 (MHz) for the
implementation of 5MHz Channel BW.
Wi-Tribe has now got the additional 20MHz channel
Bandwidth of Wateen Spectrum on lease sharing.

Wi-Tribe (New) frequency band 3499.75

3519.75 (MHz) shows the Starting and Ending
frequencies which can be added in our existing
Frequency Plan.
This addition in Spectrum will make a sum of 41MHz
in total Frequency Channel Bandwidth.
By transforming our network from 5MHz 10MHz, the
capacity issue being faced by the customer will be
eliminated and hence HUS sectors will gets reduced.

Wi-Tribe Network :: Area of Configuration Update

WiMAX CPE & BS are the major Network Elements
where Configuration needs to be performed for
implementing 10MHz.
CPS (CPE Provisioning Server) communicates with
the CPEs over the air via TR-069 protocol or HTTP/HTTPs
to perform Device Upgrade.

Site Capacity Estimation

Below diagram reflects the variation in per subscriber
throughput w.r.t MCS distribution in a given coverage
area.

Single User Throughput Results

Following is the field testing results which were obtained

by the FSE team after implementation of 10MHz channel
Bandwidth frequency on 3 Trial Sites nationwide.
These speed test results reflects that the package plan
of individual subscriber is met after performing the BW
changes in our Access network.

CPEs Up-gradation ( Remote / over the air )

All Motorola Indoor (CPEi35750 & CPEi35775) and

Outdoor Units (CPEo35400 & CPEo35450) models can be
upgraded remotely via HTTPS provisioning server.
GreenPacket Shuttle can be upgraded remotely with
the HTTP server setup for pushing updated configuration
file through web interface.
Gemtek Single/Dual Core & Zyxel Indoor/Outdoor CPEs
may be upgraded over the air by using TR-069 protocol
with the ACS machine.
SegamCom device cant be updated remotely as there
is no procedure available for remote upgrade. Thus it
might be replaced with other Model CPEs prior 10MHz
implementation.

Manual Upgrade of all CPE types

For Motorola Indoor (CPEi35750 & CPEi35775) and
Outdoor Units (CPEo35400 & CPEo35450) models, field
representatives will have to manually perform the
parameter changes on the CPE as given in the method of
procedure document.
GreenPacket Shuttle can be upgraded by simply
uploading the web based configuration file on the device.
Procedure is shared in the MOP to indicate the exact
location where the file needs to be uploaded.
Gemtek Single/Dual Core CPEs can be may be upgraded
by uploading the firmware file as highlighted in the MOP.
For Zyxel devices, the frequency table needs to be
manually updated with the new frequency channel list.
Procedure shared will guide you how to perform this
task.

Expected Issues :: Site Coverage & Capacity

Below is the Comparison and effect on Coverage and
Speed when tweaking the Channel Bandwidth of a
Sector.
Larger bandwidth increases the Sector Data rate.
However it slightly decreases the coverage of a Sector as
evident from the Graph.

Expected Issues :: CPE end issue

All the CPEs should support
both 5 & 10 MHz frequencies
in order to seamlessly
migrate on 10MHz.
In case the CPE dont posses
the new frequency then it will
not be able to successfully
register in wi-tribe network.
Edge Cell CPEs might face
camping/decamping issue
since by increasing the
capacity of Site/Sector, the
sector coverage will get
slightly shrink.
