Basic Information of Capacity Planning
Compared with the CS services, GPRS/EDGE features higher
efficiency and utilization of radio resources. It is applicable to
the services with the following features
Burst data transmissions at intervals much longer than the
transmission delay
Frequent data transmissions with a small amount of data, such as
several transmissions per minute and less than thousands of bytes
per transmission.
Infrequent data transmissions with a large amount of data, such as
several transmissions per hour and more than tens of thousands of
bytes per transmission.

Traffic Model
Pay attention to the following contents of the
GPRS/EDGE traffic model:
User model: total traffic volume of data services,
proportions of different services, distribution of services by
time, and distribution of services by space
Traffic model: length of packet and interval between
packets of a single service.
Radio transmission model: coding scheme distribution and
signaling overhead

Capacity Planning of Gb
The build-in packet service processing board GDPUP can
process 1024 pieces of PDCH channel with MCS9
simultaneously. So the required board number can be
calculated according to the maximum active PDCH number.
VGb1.166V_IP
Normally, the Gb interface is connected with E1, so the
bandwidth for each connecti0n is 2Mbps. Suppose the
utilization rate is 70%, then,
The quantity of E1 on Gb=VGb/2M*70% = 1.166V_IP/1.4Mbps
The GEPUG number can be calculated from the total E1
number of Gb
GEPUG board number = The quantity of E1 on Gb/32

network coverage has the following characteristics:

Except the body loss, other loss between the transmit end and the
receive end is the same as that in the GSM system.
The GPRS/EDGE services are mainly affected by the C/I instead of
the receiver sensitivity.

Frequency Planning
Determine the frequency reuse pattern based on the C/I
requirement, capacity planning requirement, and
available bandwidth.
The requirement of capacity planning in the early stage is
not high. According to the coverage planning, the C/I of
TCH on the BCCH meets the requirement of GPRS services.
If the PDCH is configured on the TRX carrying the BCCH,
factors such as 1X3, 1X1, MRP, concentric cell, frequency
hopping, and power control need not be considered
during frequency planning.
35pt
32pt
) :18pt

Page39
Frequency Planning
On the existing network, the BCCH carrier does not use
the power control, DTX, frequency hopping techniques.
The 4X3 frequency reuse pattern is used. Therefore, the
advantages of PDCH configuration on the BCCH
frequency are as follows:
The C/I can meet the requirement of GPRS network
coverage.
There is no additional interference brought by data services
to the GSM services.
If the TRX carrying the BCCH is configured with baseband
frequency hopping, considering the multi-timeslot capability
of the GPRS MS, all the PDCHs must have the same MAIO
35pt
32pt
) :18pt

Page40
Frequency Planning
If the PDCH is configured on the non-BCCH frequency, as
the TCH uses the power control, DTX, tight frequency
reuse, and concentric cell techniques,
The C/I probably cannot meet the requirement of GPRS
network coverage.
Data services may bring about addition interference to the
GSM services. This will decrease the service area of the
speech services.
If frequency hopping is used, the PDCHs on the same TRX
must have the same MAIO and HSN. However, for the GPRS
network, frequency hopping does not have the benefits as
expected.

Page41
Frequency Planning
When the PDCHs are insufficient even if all the TCHs on
the BCCH are configured as PDCHs, can configure PDCHs
on other TRXs. In this case, use frequency hopping to
reduce the MS' requirement on C/I
When the EDGE network is configured with baseband
frequency hopping, all the TRXs participating in the
frequency hopping must support EDGE services.

Signaling Channel Planning
Determine whether capacity expansion is required on the
basis of the configuration and load of the network as
well as the increase of signaling load after GPRS/EDGE
services are introduced.

and efficiently.

Page46
When calculating the increment of paging channels, you
need to consider that the CS paging messages of some
PDPACTIVE GPRS MSs will be retransmitted because
these MSs cannot listen to the PCH during the data
transfer process.
According to the current network conditions, the
capacity expansion of the RACH and PCH is unnecessary.
However, more AGCHs should be configured to support
the GPRS services.
35pt

) :18pt

Page47
To avoid AGCH congestion, you can use the following
methods:
Use non-combined CCCH configuration mode. Increase the
number of reserved AGCH blocks (pay attention to the PCH
load). Configure multiple non-combined CCCHs.
Use PCCCH as early as possible.

Page48
The allocation of the routing area (RA) also affects the
planning of signaling channels. Currently, the RA can be the
same as the LA.
However, with the increase of GPRS users, the RA size and the
number of packet paging messages should be reduced to
decrease the PCH load.
Check whether the PCH is overloaded and whether the traffic
volume of packet paging is oversized according to the traffic
measurement results, and then determine whether to re-
allocate the RA .

Dual-band Network Planning
The impact of GPRS/EDGE services on the dual-band
network is as follows
In the dual-band network, if the traffic on the GSM1800
network are preferred, the GPRS/EDGE services are
concentrated on the GSM1800 network, leading to network
congestion. However, the network cannot use the service
handover method as used in the GSM network to switch the
traffic to the GSM900 network.
The coverage of the GSM1800 network is poor, which
affects the quality of the PS services. However, the network
cannot actively switch the traffic to the GSM900 network.
35pt
32pt
) :18pt

Page51
To solve the problem of GPRS/EDGE traffic congestion on
the GSM1800 network, use the following methods :
Configure more dynamic PDCHs on the GSM1800 network.
When the GPRS/EDGE traffic congestion on the GSM1800
network occurs, trigger the handover of the speech services
occupying the dynamic PDCHs to the GSM900 network.
The dynamic PDCHs released after the handover can be
used for the GPRS/EDGE services.

Summary
We learn the GPRS/EDGE radio network planning in this
course, including coverage planning, capacity planning,
frequency planning and signaling channel planning.
The key part of this course is the capacity planning.
Because the traffic model is different from GSM system.
