• Service strategy
• NW & Frequency
– GSM 10 MHz in 900 & 20 MHz in 1800, UMTS 15 MHz in 2.1GHz, 12
MHz in 2.6 GHz
– GSM900 & GSM1800 modernisation with NSN Flexi Multiradio, 3G
RAN + PS from Huawei
• 3G Site Count & Configuration
– Total on air 3G sites ~1700
– Most of the sites are 2+2+2, < 20% sites are 3+3+3
• Challenge
– Some of 3+3+3 configuration sites are facing congestion & there is no
growth plan except new sites
– Not possible to address future growth in 2.1 GHz band
– Number of congested sites is growing
• Traffic profile in congested area
– Almost all users are static Mobile Broadband users (USB Dongle) in
residential (Condo/HDB) area
– 2G traffic is low, refarming one WCDMA carrier from GSM900 can be
done
• Devices
– Relatively high (even 50%) UMTS900 terminal penetration can be
assumed end-of-2010
• Service strategy

1 Utilise U900 layer with “predefined” load (certain planned load level
to give good end-user experience i.e. data rates for HSPA users)
2 Offload excess traffic to UMTS2100
Balance loading within UMTS2100 layers (Huawei load balancing
3
mechanisms)
• NSN RNC enables load balancing between U900 and U2100 both in
NSN-only case and also in inter-vendor case
NSN UMTS2100
UMTS2100
• Same RNC for U900 and U2100
• Load balancing handovers
UMTS900 • Target cell loading known internally in
NSN RNC RNC
Smart Networks
for Smart Devices
• Idle mode
– Push all UEs to U900 whenever possible to move UEs to U900
– Adjust the reselection parameters to U2100 as usage in U900 increases (aka throughput
per user decreases)
– Example U900 -> U2100 min Ec/N0 = -14 dB and min RSCP = -107 dBm
• DCH state
– Push users to U2100 if needed (as per average user throughput decreases in U900) as
long as target U2100 RSCP/EcN0 is good enough
– Periodic measurements (30-60-120 s period) if measured U2100 is not good enough
– Potential to use load trigger in U900, e.g. keep voice in UMTS900 if UMTS900 load is
low
• RU10 solution allows to use U900 for coverage extension
