Some Special Antenna Technologies and Scheduling Mode for LTE

Special Antenna Technologies MIMO and Beam Forming are critical features in determining the actual link budget required for the Operator’s network. However, these two features are also critical features from a capacity perspective as they can also improve the efficiency of frequency reuse and reduce the intra-frequency interference within the same cell as well as … Read more

3GPP Services Classification and EUTRAN Capacity Limiting Factors

Here I write on 3GPP Services Classification and EUTRAN Capacity Limiting Factors for LTE. 3GPP Services Classification Being a data centric technology, LTE has well defined classifications for Quality of Service. In general, there are two main classes of service type, with Guaranteed Bit rate vs with Non Guaranteed Bit rate. RT (Real Time) services … Read more

Definition of EUTRAN Capacity Limiting Factors for LTE

Here I write not all but important List of EUTRAN Capacity Limiting Factors for LTE and its definition. Impact of Interference on Capacity Interference is always a main contributor to capacity degradation in 1G to 3G cellular network and LTE is no difference. Besides external interference, there is a strong relationship also between the number … Read more

Operating Frequency Band and RSRP for LTE

Choosing which frequency band to operate a LTE network is one of the most critical decision. Operator has to make when it comes to capacity planning. The frequency propagation and penetration characteristics will determine the number of sites that need to be built in order to cover the designated area chosen by the Operator. This … Read more

What is Antenna Pattern?

Here I write about antenna pattern, Front-to-rear Ratio and Upper Side Lobe Suppression in antenna. Antenna Pattern The pattern is the electromagnetic field of antenna radiation distributed by coordinate along fixed distance. If the pattern is represented by radiation field strength, it is called field strength pattern. If the pattern is represented by power density, … Read more

What Important of Operator Spectrum Bandwidth and Frequency band for LTE Planning

Here I write LTE network first step. For LTE planning it is important to know what available spectrum bandwidth to operator is and what actual frequency band allocation. Understanding Operator Spectrum Bandwidth Availability The purpose of detail planning is to determine a solid radio network design for possible deployment so radio engineer should not be … Read more

How and Which KPI to Check before and after LTE Launch

Operator always needs to check LTE performance before commercial launch and after commercial launch and here I write how and which KPI to check.As This is general guide so it is change for different operator but it cover all KPI. There are two types of methods for KPIs’ measurement: Field Test and Statistic Collection. Different … Read more

S1 and X2 Bandwidth Dimensioning Procedure

The figure below denotes the location of the X2 and S1 link with respect to the other network components within the LTE network. In general, the traffic on S1 interface is divided into two different plane, the control plane, which uses SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) developed by IETF for the purpose of transporting various … Read more
