1. ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT

This document defines and explains the required parameters for detailed radio planning and integration.

2. RADIO NETWORK CIQ

The detailed CIQ for the radio network are attached here for ready reference. Customer needs to provide the mandatory parameters in the CIQ. The CIQ contains the general radio network parameters needed for performing radio planning and integration.

Note that some parameters are default or Nokia Siemens Networks can assume certain standard recommended values. However, there are some parameters where input is required from Customer.

In the Customer RFCIQ Release – version 1.1, The data related to FlexiBTS is separated into the sheet called “SCF-Flexi”. “RFplan” is simplified version of RF parameters to make it easier to fill. “IADA_adj” is the adapter neighbour matrix for IUR planning. “ADJS”,”ADJI” and “ADJG” are for neighbouring information of intra-frequency, inter-frequency and intersystem respectively. “2G_externalcell” and “3G_externalcell” contain neighbour information from external sources or vendors.

For any plan, the following applies:

Input for blue columns is mandatory.

Input for yellow columns is not mandatory but is recommended in the CIQ template.

Input for red column is temporary used for SCF-Flexi in order to prepare the temporary SCF datafill. The red column is also mandatory for create the SCF file. Several columns in red are mapped to the value in plan1 as it is a common parameters such as RNC id, WBTS id and so on.

There is no need to fill in values for light blue or uncolored columns. In this case Nokia Siemens Networks can consider standard (default) or planned/calculated values or Customer can recommend values.

A brief description of mandatory parameters follows in Section 3.

The embedded excel sheet is the CIQ template which will be explained within this document.

The parameter table below is taken from the CIQ spreadsheet. Parameters highlighted in blue require input. It is essential that proper planning take place to determine appropriate values for the remaining parameters and fully optimize the radio network. This planning process will prove to be invaluable for network performance and a successful rollout.

3.5.5.1 EWCEID

External WCDMA cell (EWCE) is a WCDMA cell that is not managed by this management system. For example, it can be a cell implemented by third-party network elements and managed by its own management system.

3.5.5.3 LAC

This parameter defines the location area that the adjacent WCDMA RAN cell belongs to.

3.5.5.4 LcrID

This parameter, the Local Cell Resource ID (LCR ID), is used to address one particular local cell resource at the adjacent BTS. The LCR ID is unique within BTS.

The Local Cell Resource is an object, which consists of the HW required by one cell for transmission and receiving.

3.5.5.5 MCC

This parameter defines the mobile country code number for the adjacent WCDMA RAN cell.

3.5.5.6 MNC

This parameter defines the mobile network code number for the adjacent WCDMA RAN cell.

This parameter is the transmission power of the primary common pilot channel of the adjacent cell.

3.5.5.9 RAC

This parameter, the Routing Area Code (RAC), determines the routing area within the location area to which the adjacent cell belongs to.

This parameter defines the service area the adjacent WCDMA RAN cell belongs to.


3.5.5.12 UARFCN UL

The carrier frequency is designated by the UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (UARFCN) uplink. In Nokia NBAP, TX-RX frequency separation is always 190 MHz and UARFCN UL is not needed when EWCE is Nokia cell.

3.5.5.13 UARFCN DL

The carrier frequency is designated by the UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (UARFCN) downlink. The value of the UARFCN in the IMT2000 band is defined as follows:

Nd = 5 * Fdownlink

0.0 MHz <= Fdownlink <= 3276.6 MHz

where Fdownlink is the downlink frequency in MHz.

This parameter is the corresponding parameter when defining UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (UARFCN) parameter value in incoming adjacencies.

3.5.5.14 UeTxPowerMAXRACH

This parameter indicates the maximum transmission power level that a UE can use when accessing the neighboring cell on the RACH.

The UE uses the parameter in the cell re-selection procedure. If the maximum output power of the UE is lower than the value of the parameter, the UE adds the power difference (dB value) to the minimum required CPICH Ec/No level, which the measurement result of the neighboring cell must exceed before cell re-selection is possible.
