1 Overview

1.1 Presentation
This scenario describes how to create and configure extended cells. The maximum range defined in GSM for the access to a cell is 35 km. The goal of an extended cell is to increase the maximum distance between the BTS and the MS, without changing the Air interface, to 70 km. Two different cells are combined in order to create the extended cell. One cell (Extended Inner) covers the range from 0 to 35 km and another cell (Extended Outer) covers the range from 35 to 70 km. According to the engineering rules: For 9100 BTS, the extended cell allows for several non -hopping TRXs Extended cells are supported only on 9100 BTS with SUMA LCS is supported on extended cells GPRS is supported on extended cells Both GSM and DCS frequency bands are allowed for extended cells 3 extended cells per BTS are allowed: 3 times (inner + outer) Multiple CCCH is not supported in Extended Cell.

1.1.1 Cases
The following cases apply: C1: Create Extended Cell C1.1: Create Extended Inner Cell C1.2: Create Extended Outer Cell. C2: Modify Single Cell to Extended Cell C2.1: Modify Single Cell to Extended Inner Cell C2.2: Modify Single Cell to Extended Outer Cell.

Note:

You can combine different cases to create the required configuration: To create an complete Extended Cell, use a combination of C1.1and C1.2 If one cell is already created, use a combination of C1.1 and C2.2 or C1.2 and C2.1 If both cells must be modified, use a combination of C2.1 andC2.2.

1.1.2 Options
O1: GPRS on extended cell can apply.

1.1.3 Restrictions
None.
