• Overview» Network Solution Passive Coaxial and Antenna Distribution
• Coverage Plan -> Target Coverage Area» How many levels, basement carpark, lift lobby, toilets, staff areas etc.
• Antenna Network Configuration» How many antennas (omni, panel) and Leaky Co-aXial cables (LCX)
• BTS Accommodation» Type of BTS (Flexitalk, Flexitalk+, Intratalk, Citytalk or Metrosite)» BTS location (which level?)» BTS Configuration (esp. Intra:1+1+1 or 1+1?)
• Electrical Power» Flexi : 20A single phase» City/Intra : 20A 3-phase or 50A single-phase

Passive AntennasPassive Antennas�Use RF couplers for asymmetrical power splits
�available in the following common coupling factors:�-3dB, -6dB, -10dB, -15dB, -20dB
�Design to have similar total distribution and coupling lossto each antenna
�Best to minimize coax length

Leaky CoaxLeaky Coax�Coupling loss
�depends on installation, environment, proximity of metal�not like in the cable specifications!�coupling losses can be big
�Multi systems will require separate TX and RX cables�critical in active systems
�Installation is key to system performance�Big installations that rely on small design margins absolutely
need careful design using measured cable attenuation andcoupling factors valid for the actual installation
12 © NOKIA 1999 FILENAMs.PPT/ DATE / NN
Fibre Optic EquipmentFibre Optic Equipment�Active equipment (over priced with poor performance)
�Output power low, linear amp, limited channel capacity�Not suitable to transmit into air (Intermods!)�Uplink noise figure high (up to 20dB) - means that it’s
unsuitable for combining more than a few together�Maybe suitable for single operator in few applications - (the toy
stuff, fibre optic antennas)�Need custom made equipment for special or multi-operator &
multi-system operation (tunnels & MTR system)

• BTS Location Change
»Due to building owner's decision
»After Indoor Solution Design is done -> Re-Design!!
»Unforseen, sometimes dependent on Site Acquisition relationship withBuilding Owner
• Cable Routing Changes
»Due to inaccessibility of risers, certain parts of the ceiling (eg. aircon duct),renovation etc.
»Re-design!!

• Coverage Criteria & Planning
»Coverage area and criteria MUST be clearly defined• eg. -80 dBm @95% location probability
»eg. Airport, Convention Centre, large shopping malls
»Design must not be too optimistic, do not be afraid to add antenna & justifyit thru' measurement plots
»Always first decide how much area you want to cover
»Predict the ERP required (Don't waste power!)
»Measurement to verify

• RF component location» install inside riser or near ceiling access hole - for pain-free Trouble-
Shooting
• Antenna Location» Install near ceiling access hole for ease of installation»Of course, general aesthetic consideration for bldg.
• Multi-Sector BTS»Sectorise the building to minimise handover - cause for failure and
interference due to improper/sometimes difficult frequency planning

Optimisation ExperienceOptimisation ExperiencePoor CoveragePoor Coverage
Poor Coverage in some areas - Common Causes
• Open connection» antenna, coupler, splitter port
• Coupler» coupled port/thru port reversed» input port/thru port reversed
• Poor design» miscalculated distribution loss - esp. large buildings» RNP too optimistic

Optimisation ExperienceOptimisation ExperiencePoor CoveragePoor Coverage
• Solution to Poor Coverage Due to Design:
» Increase output power of the BTS (free!!, change at NMS)
»Change coupler values ($, subcon required)
»shift antenna location ($$, subcon required)
»add antennas ($$, subcon required)

Optimisation ExperienceOptimisation ExperienceSpillageSpillage
• Spillage:
»caused by antennas too close to building edge & radiating excessively
• Solution
»Change coupler values
»shift antenna location ($$, subcon required)
»add attenuators ($, subcon required)
* Solution sometimes leads to poor coverage, very tricky

Optimisation ExperienceOptimisation ExperienceQualityQuality
• Poor Quality
»co-channel interference from another indoor or outdoor site
»adjacent interference between different sectors of same BTS
»hardware fault
• Solution:
»The need for good Freq Planning:– esp. City Centre (lots of high-rise buildings in close proximity)– Co-ordinate with outdoor freq planning to avoid adjacent channel

ParameterSettings
• Idle Mode- Cell reselction Parameters
Use C2 reselection instead of C1 for Indoor users to remain camped on to theindoorcell
Use Double BA list in IdleMode for nearby Macro cells
• Dedicated Mode - Handover parametersGateway Cells - No pbdgt handovers to macro cells except macro cells (except Rxqual HO's).
Umbrella handovers - Incoming handovers only to Gateway cells.
Pbdgt Handovers between indoor Cells - faster power budget periods to reducedrops in handovers.
Locating antennas near elevator shafts for smooth handovers.
• Freq. AllocationDedicated frequencies- staggered
Indentifying Freqs. for upper levels using BA list
