TMA
Tower mounted amplifier (TMA) improves the uplink coverage
performance by reducing the total noise factor of NodeB receiving
subsystem, and the coverage gain depends on the mechanism of
receiving subsystem and the feeder loss.
When the WCDMA network shares feeders with the GSM system,
the coverage gain is the greatest. If the system capacity is restricted
in downlink, the TMA reduces the system capacity. Typically, the
capacity loss ranges from 6% to 10%.
Transceiver diversity
In the downlink, provided with the time switched transmit diversity
(TSTD) and space time transmit diversity (STTD), you can add the
requirements on Eb/No needed by demodulation. The gain of fourantenna receiving diversity is 2.5 dB to 3.0 dB. You can improve the
uplink sensitivity by 2.5 dB to 3.0 dB, and reduce the site quantity by
25%-30%.
Repeaters
Repeaters expand the coverage range of primary cell. WCDMA
repeaters are similar to analog repeaters, the noise and signal are
amplified at the same time.
Remote RF amplifier
The remote RF amplifier allows physical separation of NodeB RF
module from baseband module so that the RF module is placed far
away without using long feeder.
The uplink and downlink budget improves and RF being remote
means that coverage performance increases but the capacity does
not reduce. Compared with the remote coverage through the RRU,
the TMA adds the maximum path loss and introduces insertion loss
to reduce the EIRP of NodeB.
Micro-cellular
The urban and dense urban areas require high density of NodeB, so the site
selection is difficult. The micro-cellular can meet the high capacity and
applicable for city and dense city.
The feature of micro-cellular solution is that micro-cellular requires Eb/No and
quick fading margin needed in demodulation, increases channel code
orthogonality, but reduces neighbor cell interference and soft handover
margin. When micro-cellular and macro-cellular have the same power, the air
interface volume of micro-cellular is twice of that of macro-cellular.
Indoor coverage
You can perform indoor deep coverage using indoor distributed antennas,
and this proves efficient.

Case 1
As shown in this figure, in part of coverage areas, the pilot signal
strength is lower than 90 dBm, lower much than that of
surrounding areas, so coverage void occurs.
Coverage signal
strength < -90 dBm
Analysis
Coverage signal
strength < -90 dBm
Coverage signal
strength > -70 dBm
Case 2
If a site is over high, cross-cell coverage occurs easily, so intrafrequency interference to other sites occurs.

cross-cell coverage problems for high sites.

Case 3
The Pilot Network: 701070_ParkLaneHotel site of S project covers the
Victoria Park and the antenna is mounted on the platform (10 meters high),
as shown in this picture. At the optimization phase after the network
construction, before the traffic light under the antenna, Video Phone mosaic
adds and image quality is worse and PS 384K service is reactivated.
New 3G antenna
Existing 2G
antenna
Analysis
From the perspective of planning, 3G network and 2G network co-locate.
Compared with 2G coverage test data, 2G network has not large signal
fluctuation under the road and site, that is, if the antennas of 3G network
and 2G network are in the same location, the roads 3G coverage is
performed by 701070_ParkLaneHotel_Podium site. The problem lie in than
3G antenna is so close to the platform that the wall blocks the signal and
installation conditions of antenna are not met.
Meanwhile, 2G antenna and installation components affect the 3G antenna
pattern.
Solution
Case 4
In the Pilot network of S project, 701640_ElzHse1 site has only one cell
and combines transmitter A, B and C (It is not OTSR, but the
combination of three antenna receiving signals and distribution of
NodeB transmission signal).
During the antenna installation at the NodeB construction phase, all the
transmission feeders are combined to sector A by mistake, so sector B
and C have no signals to transmit and the coverage effect is worse. The
After antenna
is corrected
Before antenna
is corrected
Analysis
The pilot RSCP before the antenna correction in the previous figure
shows that the signals close to the bottom of the site are below -76
dBm. Comparing the coverage of three sectors, obviously, you can find
that the coverage of sector A is 20 dB stronger than that of sector B and
sector C. From the perspective of current single site test Checklist, it is
difficult to find the pilot RSCP is larger than -85 dBm, especially for the
micro-cellular site.
Contents
Coverage void
Concern whether the continuous coverage of full-coverage
service can be guaranteed.
Planning verification
Concern the difference between the digital map and actual
environment, and perform a comparison and verification
between the coverage prediction and actual drive test data.
Ec/Io mean
Under the unloaded downlink and loaded downlink, concern
whether the areas less than the mean value affects continuous
coverage of full-coverage service
RSCP mean
Concern whether areas with the mean value affect seamless
coverage of full coverage service.
RF Optimization Stage
Cross-cell coverage
Concern the repeated coverage due to inconsistent height of
sites.
Pilot pollution
Concern whether the ping-pong handover exists in the soft
handover area to reduce the intra-frequency interference.
