Basics of capacity Planning in LTE [ Dont ignore VoLte/ViLte Traffic]

By -

 Below  are basics of capacity planning 

1. Thumb rule of input is cell throughput or user throughput that derived from below testing .

1.1   How many concurrent users

1.2   What are services we are offering to those concurrent users and what are Min Bit Rate [ UL/DL ]

1.2.1         How many users uses voice- 

1.2.2         How many users uses Video

1.2.3         How many users uses Data/OTT

1.2.4         How many users uses Mobile TV

1.2.5         How many users uses TV [ SD & HD ]

1. 2. How many hours are considered as busy hours out of 24 hours

 2.3. What is data Uses Per Hour DL_MB [ Convert All services into MB 1.2.1 + 1.2.2+1.2.3+1.2.4+1.2.5 ]

4  4. What is UL Data Volume Per Hour_MB [ Considers as 20% of DL while planning ]

5. 5.  Total Data Uses_MB :- Point 3+4

6.  6.How much load Condition data uses_MB :- 70% used as idle

Total Data consumption in that total busy hour out of 24 Hrs*70% = Equipped Capacity for that cell

Pa Pb in LTE and its impact on User Throughput

Downlink signals are  made up of many different components. For example, Reference Signal, PDCCH, PDSCH etc. The RS power and the SCH powers are key RF optimization parameters that influences the cell coverage. It is set according to the cell size. The higher the setting, the larger the cell coverage  on the downlink, but leaves smaller power headroom available for other downlink signals  and channels. The relation between RS power and power on PDSCH symbols (includes type A and type B symbols), has to be defined and reported to the UE, in order for the UE to demodulate 16QAM and 64QAM.1 PDSCH type A symbols has only PDSCH RE’s, PDSCH type B symbols has mixed RS and PDSCH REs. Parameter PA sets the power of PDSCH type A RE relative to cell‐specific RS, PB sets the power relation between PDSCH type B RE, and PDSCH type A RE (ρB/ρA in 3GPP). The ratio of PDSCH EPRE to cell‐specific RS EPRE among PDSCH REs for each OFDM  symbol is denoted by either ρA or ρB a...

LTE/NR PCI Conflict , PCI Confusion,PCI Collision, Mod of PCIs- 3,4,6,30

Dear readers as per above snap its easy to say PCI confusion and Collision coming under PCI conflict and reaspective reasons that mentioned in snap . Each 5G/4G cell corresponds to a Physical Cell ID (PCI) and it is used to distinguish cells on the radio side. The PCI planning for 5G NR is very much similar to PCI planning for LTE and scrambling code planning for 3G UMTS. Bad or wrong planning can affect the synchronization procedure , demodulation, and handover signalling and degrade the network performs. PCI Planning should be simpler for NR compare to LTE because there are double as many PCIs available for allocation While Planning PCI , below things need to follow strictly  1. Nbr cell should not have same position of PSS  2. Nbr Cell can use same SSS position  3. Intra Cells of an eNB should not have same PCI in same carrier  As PCI is derived from PSS and SSS so there should not be same position of PSS &SSS combination of cells on their different Antenna Po...

LTE Layer management Strategy and basic working [LMS] Unlock

By -

LMS Insight Layer Management Parameter Optimization is important aspect & it is triggered when all possible optimization techniques for ensuring best experience to customers is exhausted in the current layer For Example in a typical 3 Layered cellular network, we have LTE layer (with a mix of TDD(2.5GHz) and FDD(1.8GHz)), followed by WDCMA Layer (WCDMA2100) & then the GSM layer (1800 MHz Before actually working on Layer Management Parameter Optimization, we need to ensure Traffic Balancing within the layers is proper & as per recommendations to give desired customer experience Pre-requisite Actions Ensure below checks before moving to optimize the Layer Management Thresholds for a cell. Traffic balancing within layers should be optimal -  if network has 2 layers of LTE i.e. both TDD-20 MHz & FDD-5 MHz, Traffic distribution for collocated cells with TDD/FDD should be 75:25 (TDD: FDD) or better. This is applicable to networks with 2 carriers of WCDMA as well where the...
