PCI Planning
In LTE systems, each cell has a physical cell identifier (PCI), enabling UE to differentiate radi
o signals of different cells.
In LTE systems, cells are grouped. primary synchronization code (PSC) and secondary synchr
onization code (SSC), where the PSC has three values and SSC has 168 values, totaling 504 PC
Is.

PCI Planning
Planning principles
Availability: The PCI planning must ensure minimum reuse layers and minimum reuse distance to avoid possi
ble conflict.
Extensibility: The initial planning must consider the future capacity expansion to avoid frequent adjustment of
the initial planning result. Some PCI groups and some PCIs of in-use PCI groups can be reserved for future ca
pacity expansion.
Criteria for assigning the PCIs
Reuse distance: The distance of two cells using the same PCI must meet the minimum reuse distance.
Reuse layers: The number of reuse layers refers to the number of eNodeBs separating the two cells using the
same PCI.
Under normal dual-antenna configuration, separating the PCIs of neighboring cells by modulo 3 of the PCIs ca
n separate the downlink RS symbols in the frequency domain, improving the accuracy of channel estimation.

Preamble sequence
Preamble sequences of cells are generated through the cyclic shift of the ZC root sequence.
The number of cyclic shift is Ncs

Through the PRACH Planning, engineer allocate ZC root sequence indexes and specify Ncs Values for cells acco
rding to the cell feature.
Different ZC root sequence indexes are allocated to generate different preamble sequence for neighboring cell
s. In this way, the interference caused by the same preamble sequence of neighboring cells is reduced.
There are 64 preamble for each cell. After logical allocation of ZC root sequence, the generated 64 preamble of
neighboring cell will be different, so the interference will be reduced

Network (URAN and GERAN). The TA consists of a cluster of eNodeBs having the same Tracking Ar
ea Code (TAC)
The TA provides a way to track UE location in idle mode. UE will initials TAL update once cross the
TAL barder in idle mode and will not when cross TA boarder
TAL information is used by the MME when paging idle UE to notify them of incoming data connect
ions
One TAL can support up to 16 TAs, each TA supports maximum 100 eNodeB in one MME

TA Planning Principle
When the suburban area and urban area are covered discontinuously, an independent TA is used
for the suburban area.
The mountain or river in the planned area can be used as TA boundary to reduce the overlapping
depth of two TAs. In this way, fewer location updates are performed on the edge of TA.
The LAC planning in the existing 2G/3G networks can serve as a reference for planning TAC

One TAL contains multiple TAC, with this design when UE in idle
condition move to different TAC under one TAL there is no TAU.
When MME want to deliver downlink packet data for that UE MME
will send to latest TAC where the UE located. If the UE is
unreachable MME will try to paging another TAC under one TAL until
found. This design will take a time compare with the previous
design.
