    1.1 About this GuidelineThis Engineering Guideline explains how RF planning is undertaken. It describes how

    the process starts by agreeing the uplink and downlink budgets, and goes on to explain

    how these influence the physical installation. Techniques for predicting path loss are

    summarised, and default values for clutter factors are given for illustrative purposes. Fade

    margin and penetration losses are discussed and an example link budget is shown. The

    guideline ends with tables and graphs for path losses at GSM900 and DCS 1800

    frequencies.

    For details of creating coverage predictions using GRAND, refer to the Engineering

    Guideline EG10: RF Planning Tools.

    1.2 Planning Objectives

    The most important objective in any network is that the marketed area should containcontiguous coverage with a minimum number of holes. This is seen by the operator as the

    ability to set up, or receive a call and to communicate for the duration of the call. The

    percentage of times and locations for which this occurs is known as Quality of Service.

    This must e defined before undertaking RF planning.

    The type of coverage required (i.e. on street, in car, in building) must also be specified

    along with the expected type of mobile.

    1.3 Link BudgetsThe starting point for designing any RF plan is the agreement of the RF link budgets with

    the potential operator. These determine the classes of mobile and base station that shouldbe used and also have an influence on the type of physical installation e.g. feeder type,

    antenna types, tower heights etc.

    Typical link budgets for the uplink and downlink of a GSM system are shown in Figure 1

    andFigure 2.

    A number of the link budget elements are common to both the up- and downlink. These

    are:

    Feeder & Connector Loss: This figure is dependent on the number of connectors, feeder

    type and length of feeder run. Typically the system should be designed to make this value

    between 2-3dB. This can be done by using a higher grade feeder for longer runs.

    Antenna Gain: The choice of antenna has a direct relationship to the cell size. Typically

    omni, 65 and 120 antennas are used, depending on the environment and coverage

    requirements. The gain values for each antenna will vary depending on manufacturer. A

    selection of antenna recommended by Lucent are included in the Antenna Engineering

    Guidelines.

    Maximum Path Loss for Environment:The maximum path loss is calculated by

    knowing the values for the rest of the budget. These will depend on the equipment used

    and the signal strength required. It is then possible to work out the maximum cell size for

    each configuration. See the example at the end of this document and appendix A for

    further information. The section on Propagation Prediction provides information on how

    the path loss is calculated.

    Fade Margin: A fade margin is used to reserve extra signal power to overcome potential

    fading. The fade margin required depends on the required coverage probability and the

    standard deviation of the fading. The section on propagation prediction provides further

    information on this.

    Penetration Loss: When a mobile is used indoors and the base station is situated outside

    there is a loss when the wave penetrates the building. Where mobile units are to be usedindoors, an appropriate penetration loss must be included in the link budget. Additional

    information is provided in the Propagation Prediction Section in this guideline.

    Body Loss and Mobile Antenna Gain: These values are usually combined to give an

    overall gain of 0dB. Any losses associated with car kit installations can also be addressed

    here, the inclusion of this will be dependant upon the operators requirements.

    The remaining link budget items are specific to each link budget and require careful

    attention to ensure that the link is balanced to the operators requirements. For example

    some operators prefer to have the downlink a few dB stronger that the uplink to prevent

    the mobile going out of coverage, causing constant searches which consume a lot of

    battery power. The items concerned for each budget are as follows:

    1.3.1 Downlink

    Base Station Transmit Power:Lucent base station transmitter powers are included in the

    BTS Engineering Guideline.

    Combiner Loss: The combiner loss occurs as a result of combining a number of

    transmitter signals onto a single antenna. There are two common methods for combining.

    Filter combiners enable a large number of carriers to be combined with a low loss, but at

    extra cost and size. Hybrid combiners are smaller and cheaper but have a greater loss.

    Refer to the Engineering Guideline EG18: Base Transceiver Station for further

    information on the combinations offered with Lucent Technologies base stations.

    Usually any diplexer loss for combining transmit and receive on the same antenna is

    included in the overall combiner loss figure.

    Mobile Receive Sensitivity: This is the most difficult element of the link budget to

    predict and control. Most networks will contain a wide variety of mobiles with varying

    performances. The operator must design the network to cover the worst case sensitivity as

    defined by the GSM specifications. Classes of mobile receive sensitivities are included in

    the GSM/DCS Specific Parameters guideline, under GSM recommendations.

    1.3.2 Uplink

    Mobile Transmit Power: Most networks will typically contain a wide variety of mobiles

    with varying performances. Classes of mobile transmit powers are included in the

    GSM/DCS Specific Parameters guideline. Typically mobiles of around 1W are used as

    the design criteria for most GSM900 and GSM1800 networks.

    Low Noise Amplifiers:Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs) are employed in the receive path,to improve the performance of the uplink. They can also be used to ensure link balance

    between the uplink and downlink. LNAs are generally used to increase coverage

    performance for DCS1800. The values of LNAs which are included as part of the Lucent

    offering are included in the BTS Engineering Guideline.

    Diversity Gain: This is used to reduce the effects of fading on the uplink path. Two

    common techniques used are space and polarisation diversity. Space diversity uses two

    physically separated antenna to provide two signals with low correlation. Polarisation

    diversity relies on the reception of two polarised components to provide two uncorrelated

    signals. Typical gains range between 3 and 6dB with values of 3 or 4dB being commonly

    used.

    Base Station Receiver Sensitivity:

    BTS receiver sensitivity for uplink budget calculations is shown in Table 1 andTable 2.

    Any assumptions, such as the multipath fading model used, must be stated alongside all

    link budgets.

    1.3.3 Propagation Prediction

    A radio wave transmitted to and from a moving mobile station is subject to several effects

    which cause a loss of signal strength. These are:

    Distance attenuation

    Shadowing/diffraction

    Rayleigh fading.

    The received signal can be characterised by microscopic and macroscopic components.

    The macroscopic component is a result of local, long term fading and is due to the terrain

    contour between the BTS and MS. The terrain obstacles introduce diffraction loss, which

    can be estimated from the path profile. Shadowing may occur if an obstruction lies in or

    close to the line of sight path. Shadowing does not always mean that no signal is received

    behind an obstacle. A percentage of the radio waves may diffract around the obstruction.

    This effect depends on the wavelength in relation to the size of the obstacle, and is greaterthe longer the wavelength.

    The microscopic component of the received signal is a result of multipath, short term or

    Rayleigh fading. Its variation is due to the fact that as the mobile station moves, radio

    waves from many different reflection paths will be received.

    1.3.4 Path Loss

    Several methods of predicting the median path loss over irregular terrain have been

    published. The method generally used for standard macro cells is Okumura-Hata.

    The Okumura-Hata propagation prediction is based upon empirical information obtained

    from measurements in Japan. The formula is limited to a certain range of input parametersand is applicable only over quasi-smooth terrain (height variations 20m) and no

    obstacles are assumed to be close to the antenna.

    The formula is quite good in urban and suburban areas, however it tends to be optimistic

    over irregular, rural terrain. Correction factors are used for more irregular terrain types

    such as rolling hills, isolated mountains and mixed land-water paths.

    The mean value for path loss can be found using the formula below:

    L a a f a h a h a a h d Lb m b c= + + 0 4 2 1 3log log ( ) [ log( )] log

    where:

    L is the path loss in dBf is the frequency in MHz

    hb is the base station antenna heighthm is the mobile antenna heighta h f h f m m( ) ( . log( ) . ) ( . log( ) . )= 11 0 7 156 0 8 and is the mobile antenna height

    correction

    dis the distance between the BTS and MS in kmLc is the correction factor for land usage/clutter factors. SeeTable 3.

    The clutter in the vicinity of the MS is important, but the clutter along the propagation

    path is not taken into consideration. Default clutter factors in the vicinity of the mobile are

    shown in Table 4.

    The propagation in built up areas is dependant upon the nature of the urban environment

    e.g. the size of the buildings, the width of the roads and the existence of open areas. Theurban class definitions are not precise and can be subjective. It is necessary to calibrate the

    clutter correction factors for each city.

    A number of tables have been produced using a combination of the Okumura-Hata and

    COST231 propagation models for different antenna/mobile heights and frequencies.

    They can be used as look up tables when calculating the cell size for a particular link

    budget combination. These are available in appendix A.

    different clutter environments.

    1.3.5 Fade Margin

    This section looks at the calculation of fade margins for inclusion in link budget

    calculations. The chosen fade margin can have a large impact on the number of base

    stations required for a network and therefore should be calculated with care. The margin

    required depends on the desired coverage probability and the standard deviation of thelog-normal fading. Hence, the first step is to understand the operators requirements for

    coverage. This should be expressed in probability of call set up for inside cell area or at

    cell edge.

    The graph shown in Figure 4 (Jakes, 1974) is often used to calculate edge and area

    probabilities given and n.

    where

    is the standard deviation of the log normal fading

    and n is the propagation roll off power, which is the signal attenuation as a function of

    distance.

    Figure 4: Edge and area probability relationships

    According to GSM03.30 the normal case of urban propagation has a standard deviation

    () of 7dB and distance exponential (n) of 3.5.

    The value of edge probability derived from the graph can then be used to calculate the

    fade margin by using standard normal distribution tables. The two tables below are

    produced using common values of=7dB and=4dB for n=3.5. = 4 is often used for

    in-car coverage.

    0.95 0.99 7dB

    In urban areas it is a common practice to allow a fade margin inside a building as well as

    outside. In this case two separate margins should be calculated and then added together.,

    as shown in the following example. This assumes no correlation:

    Engineering Guideline EG3: RF Coverage Planning

    Lucent TechnologiesPROPRIETARY

    See notice on first page

    16 Version: 0.9 LM: 4

    On-street requirement = 97% area with a =7. This gives a fade margin from above table

    of 9dB.

    In-building requirement = 89% area with a=7 . This gives a fade margin from above

    table of 4dB.

    The total fade margin for inclusion in the link budget is therefore SQRT(92 + 42) = 9.8dB

    1.3.6 Penetration Losses

    There are two mechanisms associated with building losses. The first of these is due to the

    loss through the outer structure, known as the penetration loss. The second refers to the

    losses between locations within the building, resulting from the nature of the materials

    used in the construction of the walls and floors, and from the furniture present. This is

    referred to as loss within buildings.

    Penetration losses are very difficult to calculate due to the number of factors involved e.g.

    wall construction, height & depth of user within the building, number of windows etc. In

    practice average values are assumed for different environments. These values need to be

    agreed with the operator before any design work is undertaken, as the chosen values willhave a large impact on the cost of the network.

    There has, however, been some research done in this area by the COST 231 programme

    which produced the transmission losses for different kinds of materials shown in Table 7

    These values are for 1800MHz (there is no equivalent set of values for 900MHz)

    Table 8: Transmission losses for different building materials.

    Object Loss (dB) at 1800MHz

    Thick (25cm) concrete, with large windows large angle of incidence 11

    Bricks (70cm) 4.5

    Porous concrete 6.6

    The wide ranging values in the table for single walls clearly shows the need to perform

    some empirical tests. These could simply consist of measuring the average value outside

    a building (or a vehicle) and then taking readings inside, and using the difference between

    the two with an appropriate fade margin.

    1.4 Antenna DiversityDiversity refers to techniques for sampling the received signal more than once and

    combining these signals. This improves the signal to noise at the receiver.

    Diversity reception for mobile radio communication systems reduces both thermal and co-

    channel interference noise. The improvements depend on the correlation coefficient

    between signals received at the diversity antenna and increases as the correlationcoefficient becomes smaller. This correlation coefficient depends on the characteristic of

    the propagation path and the physical configuration of the diversity antennas.

    Space diversity uses two physically separated antennas to provide two signals with low

    correlation. These antenna arrays are fairly bulky and obtrusive and therefore not suitable

    for urban, indoor use.

    Polarisation diversity relies on the transmission of two orthogonal polarised components

    to provide two uncorrelated signals. This type of diversity reduces the number of physical

    antennas required and hence reduces the visual impact of the antenna installation.

    For further information on antenna diversity please see the Engineering Guideline on

    Coverage Enhancement Techniques.

    1.5 CW Measurements/SurveysNarrow band or carrier wave measurements are used for the verification of critical and

    borderline coverage areas and for calibrating the prediction model.

    Rayleigh fading makes an instantaneous measurement unrepresentative. It is therefore

    necessary to record the averaged value. The aim is to average out the Rayleigh fading, but

    not the shadow fading. The recommended averaging interval is >40 wavelengths for

    outdoor measurements, and >20 wavelengths for indoor measurements. The distance

    between instantaneous measurements should be more than 36 wavelengths per interval to

    reduce the averaging variation to less than 1dB.

    When taking the measurements the measurement antenna should be the same as the

    planned antenna, both in type and installation. It is necessary to measure along a variety

    of street directions and widths to get a full picture of the coverage area. Special features

    which will affect the propagation characteristics, such as tunnels, should be clearly

    1.6 Example Link Budget CalculationThis section contains an example link budget for a network with the following

    characteristics:

    Frequency Band : 900MHz

    Base Station Class : 5

    Mobile Class : 4

    Antenna Gain : 18.0dBi

    Diversity Gain : 4.0dB

    Feeder & Connector Losses : 3.0dB

    Combiner Loss : 4.0dB

    Tower Height : 50m

    Coverage Requirement : 95% edge coverage, standard deviation of 7dB, on

    street coverage

    The link budget is shown in Table 9:

    Table 9: Example of a link budget (refer to text).

    Transmitter

    Tx Peak Power 43.0dBm 33.0dBm

    Combiner Loss -4.0dB 0.0dB

    Feeder & Connector Loss -3.0dB 0.0dB

    Tx Antenna Gain 18.0dBi 2.0dBi

    Body Loss 0.0dB -2.0dB

    Tx EIRP 54.0dBm 33.0dBm

    Receiver

    Sensitivity -102.0dBm -104.0dBm

    Diversity Gain 0.0dB -4.0dB

    Rx Antenna Gain -2.0dBi -18.0dBi

    Body Loss 2.0dB 0.0dB

    Feeder & Connector Loss 0.0dB 3.0dB

    Effective Rx Level -102.0dBm -123.0dBm

    Fade Margin 12.0dB 12.0dB

    Penetration Loss 0.0dB 0.0dB

    Isotropic Required Rx Sig Lev(Effective Rx level -FM)

    -90.0dBm -111.0dBm

    Maximum Path Loss(Tx EIRP - Isotropic Rx Sig Lev)

    144dB 144dB

    The table shows the link is balanced. Using Appendix A it can be seen that this link

    budget would provide the following cell radii:

    Urban : 4Km

    Sub-Urban : 8Km

    Quasi Open : 20Km

    Open : 27Km

    Version: 0.9 LM: 4 19

    Clearly these radii would be significantly reduced if the requirement was for in-building

    coverage. In that case the fade margin would increase and a penetration loss would be

    added.
