In- building Networks .
~ How an In building site is implemented in Nokias network

~ How to choose the right IBS for a particular location
~ Planning activities related to Inbuilding solutions ,
~ Bill of Quantity for a typical Inbuilding Site

Also some practical planning examples are presented.

Wireless coverage of indoor areas is rapidly becoming mandatory. While there are a number of
ways to achieve this goal, Nokia advocates a design and installation procedure utilizing an array
of antennas. There are a number of advantages to designing in building coverage systems
using antenna arrays
Effective low cost design and implementation of an indoor, distributed coverage system depends
on a number of physical building attributes. The buildings size, layout, and construction material
are all considerations for the design. Furthermore, all systems are frequency and
communication format dependent, which adds another element of complexity.

1.1 TYPES OF INBUILDING NETWORKS
1.1.1 Small Area Coverage: Low Power Bi-directional Amplifiers (1-2
Antennas)
After a macro-network build-out, there are often many small indoor spots that needs immediate
coverage. Consider the situation where a wireless service provider needs to have coverage at
their sales kiosk or a single store in a shopping area requires coverage. It is unlikely that such a
situation would require capacity enhancement. Ideally, coverage would come from the macro
network without any additional equipment or it would be included in a full array used to cover a
much larger area. However, when neither one of these situations are present, a low power, low
gain repeater can provide all the coverage required to ensure the area immediately around the
kiosk or inside the store is provided.
(Fig. 1) A low power Repeater for Indoor application

Nokia uses a 19dBm repeater solution for these applications. This bi-directional amplifier has
50 dB of gain, IF selectivity, and is simple to setup and use. All that is required is a power
source (mains), a donor antenna, cable, and an optional coverage antenna , (Fig. 1)
1.1. 2 Medium Area Coverage: High Power Repeater or Active Cable (3-5
Antennas)
In these situations, antennas connected through a low gain bi-directional amplifier, , will not
provide sufficient gain, nor power out for satisfactory coverage. In an effort to grow the coverage
area, carriers often times try to increase the transmit power at each antenna. This is not
advisable as coverage in a building is shadow limited, not noise limited. The walls that are
blocking the signal will continue to block the signal even if the signal strength is raised. Best
results is to limit the power out of each antenna to a maximum of 10-20 dBm. Coverage is then
increased by increasing the number of antennas.
Nokia has has two solutions for increasing the coverage area in these types of scenarios. The
presumption is that these areas primarily need coverage, rather than enhanced capacity. The
coverage solution is to use a high gain, high power repeater to drive multiple coverage
antennas. The antennas are connected to the repeater through low loss passive coaxial cable
and splitters. The second solution is to use a lower gain, lower power repeater with an active
antenna system.
The high gain repeater offers a simple, cost-effective solution for relatively small coverage areas.
It is effective as long as low loss cable is used and the number of antenna points is kept
relatively low. These constraints are imposed because each time a split occurs or a length of
cable is used, the power level is reduced. With no compensation elements in the system,
planning becomes more difficult and installation more critical as system size increases. In small
systems where these problems are not severe the high gain repeater provides a very effective
solution

(Fig. 2) A high power Repeater for Indoor application
Nokia uses a high power repeater for this type of application. It has 2W output power and is
band selective. As shown in figure 2, the repeater is connected to the donor antenna mounted
externally. Low loss cable, splitters and coverage antennas are used to distribute and transmit
the signals throughout the building. As the number of subscribers grow, the system can be
upgraded by replacing the repeater with a micro base station that has similar power levels.
Because the building provides isolation between the donor antenna and the coverage antennas,
the repeater's maximum gain can be used.

2. IMPLEMENTATION OF AN INBUILDING NETWORK
Nokia has come up with certain processes to streamline the implementation of

an Inbuilding networks and Repeater systems . This will help in better
coordination between the various teams involved as well as reducing the overall
implementation time . This also defines responsibilities that can be tracked with
the timelines .

3. GENERAL PLANNING OF AN INBUILDING
NETWORK
Wireless carriers are tasked to provide in-building service in downtown areas, in-
vehicle portable coverage in suburban areas, and in rural areas. Propagation
tools are very effective for calculating losses due to terrain. However, they are
not very effective at compensating for building losses and other such
obstructions. The requirement for wireless services varies in indoors from
customer profile to profile .

3.1 INDOOR RADIO PROPAGATION SOME BASICS
Path Loss Formulae
Indoor Propagation
Indoor channels are different from traditional mobile radio channels in two
different ways:
The distances covered are much smaller
The variablity of the environment is much greater for a much smaller range
of T-R separation distances.
The propagation inside a building is influenced by:
Layout of the building
Construction materials
Building type: sports arena, residential home, factory,...
Indoor propagation is dominated by the same mechanisms as

outdoor: reflection, scattering, diffraction.However, conditions
are much more variable
Doors/windows open or not

The mounting place of antenna: desk, ceiling, etc.
The level of floors
Indoor channels are classified as
Line-of-sight (LOS)
Obstructed (OBS) with varying degrees of clutter

Buiding types
Residential homes in suburban areas

Residential homes in urban areas
Traditional office buildings with fixed walls (hard partitions)
Open plan buildings with movable wall panels (soft partitions)
Factory buildings
Grocery stores
Retail stores
Sport arenas
In building path loss factors

Partition losses (same floor)
Partition losses between floors
Signal Penetration into Buildings
Partition Losses
There are two kind of partition at the same floor:

Hard partions: the walls of the rooms
Soft partitions: moveable partitions that does not span to the ceiling
The path loss depends on the type of the partitions
Partition Losses between Floors
The losses between floors of a building are determined by

External dimensions and materials of the building
Type of construction used to create floors
External surroundings
Number of windows
Presence of tinting on windows

Average Floor Attenuation Factor in dB for One, Two, Three and Four
Floors in Two Office Buildings
Indoor Measurements
Received signal strength depends on:

Open plan offices, construction materials, density of personnel,
furniture, etc.
Path loss exponents:

Narrowband (max delay spread < bit period)
Vary between 2 and 6, 2.5 to 4 most common
Wall losses: 10 dB to 15 dB
Floor losses: 12 dB to 27 dB
Wideband (max delay spread > bit period)
Delay spread varies between 15 ns and 100 ns
Can vary up to 250 ns
Requires sophisticated equalization techniques to achieve acceptable bit
error rates

Outdoor to Indoor Measurements

3. 2 SITE SURVEY FUNDAMENTALS
The Initial Site Visit

Understand the requirements
Capacity vs. coverage
Current and future needs
Timeline for implementation
Manage the customers expectation
Key Information
Coverage area
Building details such as Floor Plans
Traffic expected
Frequency plan
Approved installers
Coverage Checks
Coverage objectives
Obstructions
Windows
Initial coverage check
Test phones to check existing system
What You Must Do Antennas

Observe building layout
Locations for RF source first
Antenna placements
Ideal vs. reality
Aesthetic issues
Suspended ceiling a plus
Columns and pillars
What You Must Do - RF Cable

RF cable placement
Examine space in existing ducts or raceways between floors
Standard cable trays available
Conduit required ?
Fire code requirements

Typical Survey Equipment
Test transmitter up to + 10 dBm output
Test receiver with sensitivity > -110 dBm
Omni antenna
Coaxial cable and tripod
Battery powered equipment if possible
RF Survey
Signal source set to expected system power
Signal receiver to collect data
Plot received levels through typical wall
Confirm indoor signal will dominate

Finishing the Survey

A complete picture of RF requirements
Photographic evidence
Generic agreement with building owner
Customer expectations are completely understood

3. 3 RF DESIGN ISSUES AND DESIGN LAYOUT KEY
POINTS TO REMEMBER
DISTANCE FROM A SOURCE , SIMPLE OBSTRUCTION (THICK

WALLS, STEEL DOORS, PILLARS , BUILDING FACE PLATES ETC.)
PROPAGATION MEDIA
INTERFERENCE FROM A SECONDARY SOURCE
INSIDE BUILDINGS MOST USERS ARE NOT LINE OF SITE TO THE
SOURCE
MULTIPLE REFLECTIONS
MANY DIFFERENT TYPE OF MEDIA
Interference from a Microcell to Macrocell

Well Controlled RF with a Distributed Network

ESTIMATING COVERAGE
0 dBm to 15 -18dBm normal power at antenna
Acceptable coverage level better than outdoor cells
Max 100 -150 ft (30 - 45 m) radius
Depends on building material and antenna placement
Health and safety issues
OPTIMIZING ANTENNA PLACEMENT

Best location is close to source
Close to DL means less line loss
Close to UL means less NF and sensitivity effects
Minimise external leakages
Number of sources and system performance
Cable access
Areas where public access is more such as Lobbies , Conference halls,
Restaurants , Business centres ,Car Parks , Basements , Offices etc
CAPACITY PLANNING AND SHAPING

Estimate number of subscribers
Determine Erlangs usage and verify no of TRX to be used
In-building clients > 25 mE/sub average
Decide quality of service
2% blocking high
Recommend 0.2 % blocking

CAPACITY MANAGEMENT
To compute capacity for both Voice or Voice / Data usage ( Edge &
GPRS )
LOW POWER UPLINK AND DOWNLINK
KEEP MOBILE ON INTENDED CELL
INTERFERENCE CONTROL, SPECTRUM EFFICIENCY
INTEGRABILITY INTO MACRO NETWORK
TIME TO DEPLOYMENT
Install Antenna near to ceiling Access holes for ease of installation
Also to maintain general aesthetic conditions of buildings
TIME TO OPTIMIZATION
MULTI-BAND
FUTURE NEEDS
Multi Sector Sectorize the building to minimize handover cause
for failure and interference due to improper / sometimes difficult
frequency planning
ENVIRONMENT AND RADIATION IMPACT
SIGNAL PENETRATION INTO BUILDINGS

RF signals can penetrate from outside transmitter to the inside
of buildings
- However the siganls are attenuated
The path loss during penetration has been found to be a
function of:
- Frequency of the signal
- The height of the building

SIGNAL PENETRATION INTO BUILDINGS
Effect of Frequency
- Penetration loss decreases with increasing frequency
Effect of Height
Penetration loss decreases with the height of the building up-to some certain
height
- At lower heights, the urban clutter induces greater attenuation
and then it increases
- Shadowing affects of adjascent buildings

3.2.1 INITIAL DESIGN EXAMPLE


3.2.2 INITIAL ANTENNA LAYOUT EXAMPLE

3 .2 .3 PROPOSED EQUIPMENT LAYOUT


3.2.4 PARAMETER SETTINGS
In general there is no need to do many changes to the Nokias default parameter set before implementation. Important
thing is to tune idle mode C2 parameter and handover parameters so that mobile would be locked to an indoor cell
when operating inside a building. Also handovers at a building entrance should work as wanted. If the indoor cell is not
working as wanted after acceptance tests, more parameter tuning is needed. Its also good to keep in mind that one
parameter change might effect in one place to network performance as wanted but at the same time it might worsen it
in another place. Therefore, parameter tuning is doing compromises to find the best possible network performance.
Idle Mode- Cell reselction Parameters
Use C2 reselection instead of C1 for Indoor users to remain camped on to the indoor cell
Use Double BA list in Idle Mode for nearby Macro cells
Dedicated Mode - Handover parameters

In call mode handover parameters are tuned so that when moving inside a building the ongoing call is handed over to
an indoor cell. When a mobile is inside a building handovers are not allowed to outdoor cells except in building
entrance. Umbrella handover or power budget handover (or both) are normally activated in indoor use.
- Umbrella handover
An umbrella handover from an outdoor cell to an indoor cell is set with two parameters. By enabling the umbrella
handover (enableUmbrellaHandover) and setting the minimum downlink signal level in the target cell
(hoLevelUmbrella). The signal level can be set independently for each adjacent cell. If the level is set too high only the
mobiles, which would be served by the target cell anyhow, are served by it. If the level is too low, the mobiles camp to
the indoor cell too far away.

- Power budget handover
Power budget handover is enabled when the parameter EnablePowerBudgetHO is set to yes. Now the BSC
evaluates the adjacent cells in order to find a target cell for the handover at every hoPeriodPBGT (063 SACCH)
interval. Every SACCH period is 480 ms
- Combined Umbrella and Power budget handover

If the handovers from outdoor cell are done by umbrella handover, then the handovers to the opposite direction are
typically power budget handovers (hoMarginPBGT). It should be set high enough, in order to avoid ping-pong
handovers.
Locating antennas near elevator shafts for smooth handovers
