Purpose & Collecting Data
Purpose
 Decrease congestion
 make traffic distribution more balanced
 Decrease half-rate traffic

Collect data
 Select at least one month Sunday(busiest day) busiest-hour cell level traffic
KPI includes: CS traffic(Erl) , PS traffic(Erl) ,current TRX configuration , SDCCH configuration, TCH configuration, TRX
availability
1. There shouldn’t be big operation affecting the traffic too much during the period, or it will affect the data
accuracy.
2. Check the TRX availability : if there are down sites , the traffic will share to other sites around and affect
the traffic distribution. For example: SSWR,TRX availability is 60%~80% at NBH and not stable, so it’s hard
to collect the data we want
3. Channel configuration: if the SD or PD channel too much but TCH not enough ,if may cause TCH
congestions but actually the TRX may be enough for the traffic.
4. Overshooting Issue
 Get the max traffic in one month
by excel pivot table , we can calculate the biggest traffic for every cell. There will be some cells’ traffic
calculated higher due to some impact reasons, but we can accept this because the network should support this kind
of impact traffic such as Sep.11 holiday.
Reduce TRX
Q: Which kind of cells can reduce the TRX number?
RF Resource Evaluation

The RF resources to be evaluated include:

RF Resource
Evaluation
 SDCCH
 TCH
TRX
 PDCH
 PCH

In capacity management:
 RF Resource Include SDCCH 、TCH、PDCH、PCH Resource.
 Based on the estimation of the future traffic growth, the RF Resource to be added to TRX Board are predicted.
 SDCCH Resource no need to analyze—SDCCH Dynamic Adjust Function
 When PCH Resource is insufficient , it resolved by network optimization not expanding
Calculate for Reducing & expanding TRX numbers
Reducing TRX Method
Three types of cells:
1. If the traffic load is low for both G&D sectors, we can calculate these sectors to decrease the TRX.
2. If the traffic is not balanced between G&D sectors, we need to balance the traffic first.
3. If the traffic is high for both G&D sectors ,can not reduce.
Q: for the second type of cells, can we reduce the TRX?

How to calculate the TRX numbers to reduce or expand

1. Reduce TRX :One of our purpose is to reduce the half-rate traffic. so here we suggest to calculate
the traffic load according to the TCHF channel numbers.

2. Expand TRX: to save the resource, we can calculate Traffic per channel by the TCHH numbers(60%
TCHH opened). So the TCH numbers= Configured TCH numbers*60%*2+ Configured TCH
numbers*40%.
Different configuration can hold different Erl/TCH as below:
configuration Erl/TCH
S1-S4 0.5
S5-S8 0.65
S9 0.8
By this value, we can infer that how many TCH we need for the current traffic.
Show how to calculate by excel
 notice
1. TRX configuration < =2 , better not reduce
2. GSM TRX configuration > =6 , better not expand(for temporary, we can make it max 8 TRX)
3. DCS TRX configuration > =8, better not expand. For this kind of cells, can expand by multiple sectors.

This part I will show by data processing demo

Frequency planning
For now, there are 2 ways to plan the frequency.
 By mapinfor :check one by one to find the frequency
 By U-net: using planning software to export the frequency
Comparing this 2 software:
1. Mapinfor needs the guy who are using it to be careful, because the frequency is checked by manual.
2. U-net can export the Frequency automatically, but sometimes the frequency is not right.
Frequency Rule
GSM: BCCH 111-124 TCH 63-110
DCS : BCCH 699-710,874-885 TCH 711-743,844-873
Because for now , U-net is a software applied Find Freq
only inside Huawei, here I only introduce how Freq

it works. For the detail I won’t talk much.

Mapinfor can find the frequency more
correctly than U-net. But it needs us to be
careful during the frequency planning and it
needs more time.
TRX configuration

TRX Data contains:

 TRX ID , TRX NAME , Frequency , TRX NO. , TRX Group ID , EGBTSPOWT
Hopping setting:
 Hop index& HSN should be noted before we remove the TRX. Because for NR ,the hopping strategy is
different. After open the HOPPING we should set the HOPPING parameter like before.

After we planned the frequency, we need to configure the TRX data.

TRX power configuration related to RRU type& TRX number

Here we list 3 types of Addis RRU, when configuring the TRX power , we can follow the POWER configuration
as above.
For more RRU type information in regions.
MML
RMV TRX:
1. LIST HOPPING MA GROUP and remember the configuation(for NR , because closing the HOPPING
will reset the hopping parameter, and we need to fall back the setting)
2. CLOSE HOPPING
3. DEA TRX AND Remove TRX
4. OPEN HOPPING and set the GCELL MA group HSN & TSC the same like before.

ADD TRX:
1. ADD frequency;
2. Close HOPPING;
3. ADD GTRX(TRX-name, TRX ID, Frequency, TRX-No., TRX Group)
4. SET TRX channel types;
5. ACT TRX
6. OPEN HOPPING

Here is the template for MML.
