1 Site Design Guideline

1.1 BTS and NodeB Configuration

Note: The following antenna solution pictures are only typical for reference; the detail antenna system is subject
to the actual design condition.
i. BTS3900 (Macro indoor): GSM only

 Software upgrade to increase GSM capacity from G2/2/2@20W to G4/4/4@20W

6 MRFU are required for G 4/4/4@20w and up to G8/8/8@20W

ii. BTS3900 (Macro indoor): GSM/UMTS SingleRAN

 Software upgrade to increase GSM and UMTS capacity from G222/U1/1/1 to

G4/4/4U2/2/2

6 MRFU and 6 WRFU are required for G6/6/6 U2/2/2MIMO up to G8/8/8 U2/2/2 MIMO.
iii. BTS3900A (Macro outdoor): GSM only

 Complete site solution including battery backup, power supply and space for microwave
transmission

 Software upgrade to increase GSM capacity from G2/2/2@20W to G4/4/4@20W

6 MRFU are required for G6/6/6@20W and up to G8/8/8@20W

iv. BTS3900A (Macro outdoor): GSM/UMTS SingleRAN

 Complete site solution including battery backup, power supply and space for microwave
transmission

 Software upgrade to increase GSM and UMTS capacity from G2/2/2 U1/1/1@20W to
G4/4/4 U2/2/2@20W

 6 MRFU and 6 WRFU are required for G6/6/6 U2/2/2MIMO@20W up to G8/8/8 U2/2/2
MIMO@20W..
v. DBS3900 (Distributed Base Station Solution): GSM/UMTS SingleRAN

 RRU 3804 is applied for UMTS feeder less solution, RRU 3908 is applied for GSM
feeder less solution.

 Complete site solution including battery backup, power supply and space for microwave
transmission and BBU

 Remote radio units is installed as near as possible to the antenna, hence saving on the
feeders and improving coverage

 Software upgrade to increase GSM and UMTS capacity from G2/2/2 U1/1/1@20W to
G4/4/4 U2/2/2@15W. RRU3908 is for GSM and RRU3804 is for WCDMA
Based on the distance between a BBU and an RRU, CPRI networking is classified into short-distance remote
networking and long-distance remote networking.

 For the short-distance remote networking which using CPRI fiber optic cable between a BBU and an RRU,
the longest distance between an RRU and a BBU on a CPRI chain does not exceed 100 m.

 For the long-distance remote networking which using single-mode fiber optic cable between a BBU and an
ODF or between an ODF and an RRU, the longest distance between an RRU and a BBU on a CPRI chain
ranges from 100 m to 40,000 m.

DBS Solution (RRU+BBU) should be only applied for feeder less scenario.

For GSM sites, DBS solution should be applied for scenario which saved loss compare to macro BTS is more
than 1.24dB (20W – 15W = 43dBm – 41.76dBm = 1.24 dB)

(Saved loss = loss of macro BTS solution – loss of feeder less solution)

If one site planed with feeder less scenario, but final design (after engineering survey) result shows feeder less
solution is not applicable, Macro BTS (BTS 3900 OR BTS 3900A) should be applied instead of (DBS 3900)

If the RRU cannot mount close to the antenna, the RRU solution should change to Macro BTS solution.
1.2 Technical Specification of Antenna System
Axis required that for all the expansion and swapped site scenarios, the existing antennas and
feeders are to be maximized for reuse if applicable. And for the new sites, new antenna will be
proposed according to the network planning requirement.
Table below summarizes the antenna system and feeder cable type provided by Huawei.

1.3 Antenna System Design Requirements

Antenna Gain Selection Rule:

 Dense Urban & Urban: 18dBi
 Suburban & Rural: 19dBi
 Special cases for Rural: 21dBi

Antenna Tilt Configuration Rule:

 Mechanical down tilt should be <= 2 degree for all clutter type.
 In typical DU & U implementation, electrical tilt should be used instead of mechanical down tilt.

Antenna Port Selection Rule:

2-port antenna is applied for following cases:
 2G or 3G standalone site.
 By default, 2G/3G co-location site should use two separate antennas on same height with
minimum 1 meter horizontal separation from centre of antenna for both tower and roof top site.
 If any space issue with horizontal separation, 2G/3G antenna height vertical separation should be
no more than 1 meter from edge to edge of antenna for tower site.
4-port antenna is applied for following cases:
 2G/3G co-located site in case there is any space issue or tower loading issue for tower or roof top
site.
 GSM only site using DBS3900 solution with 2 physical RRU per sectors (5 ~ 8 TRXs).
