Overview
2.1
Function Introduction
During network planning and construction, it is necessary to consider the coverage
enhancement technology to the uplink/downlink according to net work load and service,
with a view to offsetting the deficiency of coverage capacity in a specific direction. This
document describes the main uplink/downlink coverage enhancement technologies
(Two-Ant enna receive diversity, Four-antenna receive diversity, Transmit diversity, MultiRRU for one cell, and Extended Cell Range to 80km ) of ZTE UMTS in respect of
functions and us age.
2.1.1
ZTEs UMTS enables multi-path diversity reception and MRC (maximal ratio
combining) of signals through a Rake receiver.
2.1.2
ZTEs UMTS uses the multi-antenna receive diversity technology, for example,
Two-Antenna receive diversity and four-antenna receive diversity.
2.1.3
Transmit Diversity
Transmit diversity is to transmit a signal through multiple antennas of a B TS. In a fading
environment, transmit diversity enables a UE to receive multi-path signals and better
signal quality, thus improving the performance of the radio communication system
effectively.
ZTEs UMTS uses open-loop transmits diversity and closed-loop transmit diversity mode
1. In t he open-loop mode, no feedback information is available bet ween the UE and
Node B. Open-loop transmit diversity includes Space -Time Transmit Diversity (STTD)
and Time Switched Transmit Diversity (TS TD). In the closed-loop mode, the UE sends
the feedback information to Node B so as to optimize the transmission of the diversity
antennas.
Open-loop t ransmit diversity requires no signaling overhead and make the mobile
stations process quickly. However, this mode does not utilize the channel information.
Closed-loop transmit diversity has high performance in a low -speed moving environment,
but its control mode is more complex.
2.1.4
2.1.5
High-Speed Access
For the high-speed access coverage, the system and the environment should be
considered comprehensively to solve various problems related to the high-speed moving,
especially the Doppler shift, fast handover and the call through rate.
The 3GPP has defined three high-s peed train scenarios: trains moving at a rate of 350
km per hour in open space; trains moving at a rate of 300 km/h in tunnels with multiantennas; trains moving at a rate of 300 km/h in tunnels with leaky cables.
Based on the experience of implying the mobile technology for years, ZTE has
developed a series of distinctive high-speed moving technologies such as: baseband
frequency offset compensation algorithm, optimized RRM algorithm for high-speed
moving, and flexible network planning adapted to various environments,etc. These
technologies can handle the high-speed WCDMA communication scenarios with rates
higher than 350 km/h, and can provide abundant data and voice services to satisfy
users' requirements.

The radio signals received by the Two-Ant ennas are processed by RF units
respectively, and then are sent to the base band unit (BB U) of Node B.
The BBU receives the Rake signal and performs the subsequent processing.
Finger demodulation
MRC
For Two-Antenna receive diversity, the multi-path det ection and assignation module
searches the Two-Antennas at the same time, merges the lag energy values of the TwoAntennas, and assigns demodulation fingers for some multi-path delays in descending
order of the energy.
For the assigned demodulation fingers, the Rake receiver centrally performs the
following demodulation operations: descram bling, dispreading, channel estimation and
compens ation, and frequency offset estimation and compensation.
Finally, the Rake receiver performs the MRC operation for the demodulation results of all
paths, and performs the subsequent symbol level processing.

By default, a single RRU and single antenna are c onfigured. Therefore, you need to
configure the RF connection for the Rak e receiver before configuring double antennas or
multiple antennas. The detailed procedure is as follows:

contains the following parameters: Rack .Rack No and Rack .Rack Type (it depends
on the product model of the RRU/RS U module).
Add the corresponding topology table. Note that Rack Topology. Rack No,
Rack Topology.ShelfNo, and Rack Topology.SlotNo should be configured t o the data

When four-ant enna receive diversity is used, you need to set the RxDiversity parameter
to 3:4-antenna Rx Diversity. You need to configure four receiving RF connections at
the same time:
The subsequent proc essing is the same as that for Two-A ntenna rec eives diversity.
Figure 5 shows the hardware connection of four -antenna diversity. It shows that the
hardware configuration of four-antenna diversity is equal to the configuration of multiple

The coverage area of one cell is divided into multiple sectors or multiple areas,
The sectors or coverage areas use different antennas for rec eiving signals,

As shown in Figure 6, the same carriers of three RRUs are combined into one cell, and
the coverage areas of these three RRUs are different from each other. In the uplink
direction, the signals received by multiple RRUs are sent to the BBU respectively. The
BBU performs multi -pat h detection and RAKE demodulation for the signals of each RRU,
performs the MRC operation for the signals of each demodulated RRU (only one RRU or
multiple RRUs have signals possibly), and then performs the subsequent processing. In
the combined cell, it is obvious that the handover bet ween RRU coverage areas is
complete during multi-path detection and assignation without the signaling exchange
and control of the RNC and UE. In the downlink direction, the generated downlink
signals are copied and sent to multiple RRUs, thus attaining the effect of total -c ell
transmitting.

For a cell comprising more RRUs, the signals of the receiving antennas of some RRUs
can be weighted according to the receiving power, be combined int o one data stream,
and t hen undergo subsequent detection and demodulation with a view to reducing the
resource consumption of multi-path detection. Figure 7 shows the merge of six RRUs.
The coverage areas of these RRUs can be different from each other.
ZTE Confidential Proprietary
One cell is covered by multiple RRUs and with their antennas. The coverage area of
one cell can be so flexible as not to be limited to sector coverage or round coverage.
It well caters to the coverage needs in special scenarios, for example, a c omplex
urban area, inside a building, or along a traffic route.
Attain the space division multiplexing effect in the uplink division: The uplink
throughput of one cell can be equal to several times as high as that of a
conventional cell.
The downlink signals of the same cell are transmitted by multiple RRUs. Downlink
diversity gain can be attained in the overlap coverage area of different RRUs, thus
improving the net work coverage quality and raising the HS DPA throughput of each
individual UE.
Figure 8 shows an example of c ell coverage. Assume that omni -directional round cells
are not suitable to coverage in t his dense urban area due to the obstruction of buildings,
and if a conventional coverage method is used, In Figure 8, each diamond-shaped area
needs to be covered by one cell, and thus a total of 12 cells are required. Through the
multi-RRU merge technology, a hexagonal area (approximate to a round in practice),
which comprises three adjacent diamond-shaped areas (approximate to a sector in
practice), is used as the coverage area of one cell. Three RRUs and their antennas are
used to cover three diamond-shaped areas. As a result, only four cells are enough for
the same net work coverage. Generally, the technology decreases the number of
required cells greatly, and reduces the frequency of handover controlled by the RNC.

Compared with the traditional sector networking mode, the merge technology has the
following disadvantages:
While the number of required cells is decreased and downlinks UPAs and code
resources are scheduled basing on a cell, the downlink system throughput is
reduced greatly (although the average peak throughput per UE can be raised).
Downlink signals are transmitted by multiple RRUs at the same time, but UEs are
usually distributed in the coverage area of one RRU, thus multiplying the downlink
power consumption.
If there are a large number of RRUs, the signals of these RRUs undergo weighted
combination before descrambling and dispreading. As a result, the combined RRUs
interfere with each other, thus affecting the receiving performance.
ZTE s UMTS supports five types of multi-RRU cell configuration (t wo RRUs, three
RRUs, four RRUs, five RRUs, and six RRUs) as follows:
2-RRU Cell: Configure RxDiversity to 4: 2-RRU Cell and configure four receiving
antenna parameters (configure RFRxID[1] to the main antenna of the first RRU,
configure RFRxID[2] to the diversity antenna of the first RRU, configure RFRxID[3] to
the main antenna of the second RRU, and configure RFRxID[4] to the diversity
antenna of the second RRU,). Configure TxDiversity to 3: 2-RRU Cell, and
configure two transmitting antenna parameters (configure RFTxID[1] to the
transmitting main antenna of the first RRU, and configure RFTxI D[2] to the
transmitting main antenna of the second RRU.
3-RRU Cell: Configure RxDiversity to 5: 3-RRU Cell and configure six receiving
antenna parameters (configure RFRxID[1] to the main antenna of the first RRU,
configure RFRxID[2] to the diversity antenna of the first RRU, configure RFRxID[3] to
the main antenna of the second RRU, configure RFRxID[4] to the diversity antenna
of the second RRU, configure RFRxID[5] to the main antenna of the third RRU, and
10
configure RFRxID[6] to the diversity antenna of the third RRU). Configure TxDiversity
to 4: 3-RRU Cell, and configure three transmitting antenna paramet ers (configure
RFTxID[1] to the transmitting main antenna of the first RRU, configure RFTxID[2] to
the transmitting diversity antenna of the second RRU, and configure RFTxID[3] to
the transmitting main antenna of the third RRU.
4-RRU Cell: Configure eight receiving antennas and four transmitting antennas (the
receiving antennas should be configured to receiving RF connections 1 to 8, and
the transmitting ant ennas should be configured to transmitting RF connections 1 to
4).
5-RRU Cell: Configure ten rec eiving antennas and five transmitting antennas (the
receiving antennas should be configured to receiving RF connections 1 to 10, and
the transmitting ant ennas should be configured to transmitting RF connections 1 to
5).
6-RRU Cell: Configure 12 receiving antennas and six transmitting antennas (the
receiving antennas should be configured to receiving RF connections 1 to 12, and
the transmitting ant ennas should be configured to transmitting RF connections 1 to
6).
The procedure of adding new RF connections to the multi-RRU combined cell is the
same as that of adding new RF connections to two-antenna receive diversity.

(1)
R refers to t he radius of the earth. Considering the impact of atmos pheric refraction
on the propagation of radio electromagnetic waves, the equivalent earth radius Re
is usually used instead of R. In the conditions of standard atmospheric refraction,
Re = 8,500 km. Therefore, Formula (1) is changed into the following formula:
d 4.12 ( Ht Hr ) (km)

At the combined visual range point of the B TS and UEs, the additional diffraction

the paramet ers are the same as those of Section A, for example, d1dkmd1+d2.

ZTE Confidential Proprietary

Section C is in the shadow globe area. You need to refer to the diffraction loss
model and revise the model properly. In addition, you need to consider the
environmental features of radio propagation on the sea and the operability of
coverage prediction. The formula on propagation path loss is as follows:
(7)
where,
L refers to the wavelength (km).
2dkm
(d 1 d 2)(dkm (d 1 d 2)
(8)
Re refers to the equi valent eart h radius when the impact of atmospheric refraction
on radio electromagnetic waves is taken into account. In t he condition of standard
atmospheric refraction, Re = 8,500 km.
= (d1+d2)/ Re: It refers to the included angle of the combined visual range of the
BTS and UEs to the revised earth model (unit: radian).
= [dkm-(d1+d2)]/Re: It refers to the included angle between the test point and the
combined visual range point of the B TS and UEs to the revised earth model (unit:
radian).
The parameters are the same as those of Section A, for example, dkm d1+d2.
3
The total propagation loss is equal to the sum of propagation loss in Sections A, B,
and C.
Assume that the prec eding path loss model is used. Figure 16 shows a typical extended
cell link propagation curve.
19
Section A is the line-of-sight propagation range and is also the main c overage area of
over-distance coverage. To widen the line-of-sight propagation range, the most effective
means is to raise the altitude height of the B TS ant enna and altitude height of the UE
antenna, and reduce the carrier frequency. In practice, it is difficult to stipulate the
altitude height of UEs by force. Therefore, the effective means is to raise the altitude
height of the B TS antenna. Additionally, it is also an effective means to reduce the
carrier transmit frequency. For example, assume that the altitude height of the UE
antenna is 3 meters. To ensure the coverage distance of 80 km, the altitude height of
the BTS antenna should be 310 met ers (in the frequency band of 2.1 GHz) or 260
meters (in the frequency band of 900 MHz ).
3.6.2
Optimization of Antenna
ZTE UMTS extended cell solution considers the gain of directional antennas. A highgain directional antenna can be used to raise the receiving gain and the coverage
distance significantly.
A directional antenna brings a far higher gain than an omni directional antenna
(usually by 6 to 7 dB). Therefore, the coverage radius of a macro cell directional
BTS is far greater than that of an omni directional BTS.
20
The actual gain of a directional antenna is related to the angle o f the antenna.
Usually, the smaller the lobe width is, the higher the gain is and the longer the
coverage distance is. The smaller the lobe width is, the more cells are required.

A TMA is used to amplify the uplink signals. Usually, it is installed between the main
feeder and the upside jumper (the 1/2 jumper connected to the antenna) so as to offset
the deficiency of the uplink during the balanced budget between the uplink and downlink.
ZTE s extended cell solution fully considers the functions and advantages of the TMA,
and uses the TMA technology to avoid system noise deterioration caused by over length
of the feeder and improve the system sensitivity. As an important coverage
enhancement means, the TMA technology is widely applied. It is mainly used in
21
extended cell scenarios, for example, suburban areas, rural areas, sea surface, and
deserts.
Customers can select the electrical down tilt antenna and TMA solution for the AISG
interface. The solution allows you to adjust the down tilt angle of the ant enna and TMA
gain through remote or local control soft ware, thus facilitating fine adjustment and
network optimization.
3.6.3
3.6.4
AMR Code
The bit rate affects the uplink coverage. If the bit rate is very high, the proc essing gain is
very low and the coverage area is very small. An AMR vocoder can be used to raise the
coverage area of the voice service effectively. The AMR vocoder is a single voice codec.
Its source rate can be 12.2 (GSM-EFR), 10.2, 7.95, 7.40 (IS-641), 6.70 (P DC-EFR), 5.90,
5.15, and 4.75kbit/s.
Dynamic AMR adjustment is to adjust the rate of the uplink/downlink AMR service
dynamically to adapt to the ever-changing radio environment. In the UMTS, the radio
environment bet ween the UE and B TS is constantly changing. When the UE moves to
the edge of the coverage area or if the radio environment is bad, the B TS or UE
transmits higher power through closed-loop power control so as to ensure the QoS of
the AMR service. As a result, the power is further raised, the radio environment is furt her
deteriorated, and the system capacity is reduced. Furthermore, the QoS cannot be
ensured even if the power is raised to an ultimate value. In this case, you can lower t he
AMR, offs et the deterioration of the radio environment through high spreading gain, and
reduce the power overhead. If the radio environment bet ween the UE and B TS is very
good and if the transmit power of the BTS or UE is very low, you can raise the AMR to
provide a higher QoS so long as the experience of other subscribers or system
performance is not affected.
ZTE s UMTS supports the dynamic AMR adjustment based on the transmit power of the
dedicated channel:
When the transmit power of the uplink UE is very high, the uplink AMR is reduced at
the UE side under the control of the RNC.
When the dedicated transmit power of the downlink Node B is very high, the
downlink AMR is reduced at the CN side under the control of the RNC.
If the transmit power of the uplink UE is very low and system load is very low, the
uplink AMR is raised at the UE side under the cont rol of the RNC.
22
If the dedicat ed transmit power of t he downlink Node B is very low and system load
is very low, the downlink AMR is raised at the CN side under the control of the RNC.
The RNC sends the TFC CONTROL message to the UE so as to control the uplink AMR
at the UE side. The RNC sends the IUUP rate control frame to the CN so as to control
the downlink AMR at the CN side.
You can attain the link budget gain by reducing the AMR. The calculation formula is as
follows:
12.2 12.2 10
3dB
10
3dB
10
For the 12.2-Kbps AMR voice servic e, the power difference bet ween the DPCCH and
DPDCH is -3 dB. When the AMR is varying, the power of the DPCCH remains
unchanged. When the AMR goes down, the power of the DPDCH is reduced.
Table 1 shows the mapping between the AMR and the gain of the 12.2 -Kbps voice
service.

The coverage gain varies with the coverage scenario. The coverage gain is mainly
related to the path loss factors. For over-distance coverage, the coverage gain varies
with the height of the B TS antenna.

High-Speed Access
Comparing with the communications in standstill or low-speed moving, there are more
problems involved in the high-speed moving conditions. The main influenc es are the
Doppler shift and the fast handover. The higher t he moving speed is ,the more influence
there are. And its more difficult to solve that problem and need more technical
requirements correspondently.
Compared wit h the common access environment, the high-speed access environment
has the following features:
1
Vehicle loss
Since the users are inside the high-speed trains, the penetration loss of the vehicle
should be considered during coverage planning. The penetration loss is generally
1015 dB for a common train. For a high-speed train like the one moving from
Guangzhou to Shenzhen, the penetration loss is about 15 20 dB according to the
test results. The penetration loss brings great challenges on the continuous
coverage.
Users distribution
The users in high-s peed trains are distributed inside the passenger carriages and
are moving along with the train. The handover and the cell reselection are rather
frequently. Therefore, Node B resources are occupied in a burst manner.
3.8.1
Doppler shift
In high-speed coverage scenarios, the Doppler effect has the greatest influence on the
performance of the UMTS system. The wavelengths of the rec eived signals are changed
due to the relative motion of the signal source and the receiver. This is called the
Doppler effect. In mobile communication systems, especially in high-speed scenarios,
24
the Doppler effect is even more obvious. The frequency offset caused by the Doppler
effect is called Doppler shift, which is expressed by the following formula:
fd
f
v cos
C
Where:
is the inclined angle bet ween the moving direction of the UE and the signal
propagation direction;
v is the moving speed of the UE;
C is the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves;
f is the carrier frequency, which is about 2 GHz.
Assume a high-speed UE passes a Node B,the scenario is as shown in the following
figure.
v
UE
Node B
When the carrier frequency f and the moving speed v are fixed, the Doppler shift will be
changed with cos. In addition, since the UE adjusts its transmitting frequency according
to its receiving signal from the Node B, a double Doppler shift will be generat ed for the
Node B. Therefore, the fd can be further expressed by the following formula:
fd
2 f v2 t
C v2 t2 d 2
The following figure shows a tendency curve of the Doppler frequency offset that
changes with the value of d at different vehicle rates.
Figure 19 Doppler shift when the Value of D Changes at Different Vehicle Rates
25
As can be seen from the figure above, the Doppler shift has the following features:
1
When the UE is moving, the Doppler shift changes as the UE 's location changes.
The maximum Doppler shift received by the Node B is in proportion to the moving
speed of the UE. The more quickly the UE moves, the great er the frequency offs et
is, as shown in Table 1.

The farther the UE is away from the Node B ,the more Doppler shift is The
frequency offset would be 0 but the frequency offset has the fastest change when
the UE passes the Node B.
Handover Influence
In high-speed scenarios, the handover performance will be much affected. To guarantee
the users ' seamless mobility and QoS, the system design should ensure that the time for
the UE to pass the handover z one is longer than the handover processing time.
26
Otherwise, the handover proc edure cannot be complet ed and the user's QoS will be
degraded or even call drops,
The handover In WCDMA systems include int ra-frequency soft handover, int erfrequency hard handover, and inter-system handover. They have different features and
different applications in high-speed scenarios.
Soft handover is a particular policy of WCD MA systems. A user may establish and
maintain multiple wireless connections with multiple cells so as to obtain a greater link
gain. In high-speed scenarios, the system needs to provide a greater cell coverage
radius than in common scenarios, so as to avoid frequent handover. A large handover
zone, however, should be guaranteed among cells to ensure the users in macro
diversity as much as possible to inc rease the macro diversity gain, and to guarantee
users' QoS and seamless mobility accordingly. In general, it takes about 400 to 800
milliseconds to process soft handover. For this reason, the handover zone should meet
at least the requirements given in Table 2 at different moving rates.

In the access procedure of a Code Division Multiple Access system, the frequency offset
estimation and c ompensation in the random access procedure should attain a tradeoff
between resources and performance. When decoding t he preamble information,
generally the system simultaneously performs frequency offset compensation and
decoding by setting multiple fixed frequencies offset compensation values, t hen
determines the frequency offset compensation value with which the decoding results has
the highest preamble energy, and then uses this value to make frequency offset
compens ation in the access message decoding procedure. When the moving speed of a
magnetic levitation train reaches 430 km/h, the maximum Doppler frequency offset is
approximately 2000 Hz. If the system uses the current random access frequency offset
estimation and compensation method, usually more than seven preset frequency offset
compens ation values need to be set. This involves a huge waste of hardware resources,
because usually only three preset frequency offset compensation values are set in
wireless scenarios. Even so, the estimated frequency offset value is not accurate
enough. To solve this problem, ZTE has developed an enhanced frequency offset
estimation method, which can guarantee better frequency offset estimation performance
while greatly saving preamble check resources and can be flexibly applied to the
configuration of coherent integration parameters.
The frequency offset estimation and compensation algorithm for dedicated channels
should focus on the speed and range of frequency offset tracking. For example, the
channel model for high-speed trains given in 3GPP R7 comprehensively takes into
account the speed and range of frequency offset tracking, as described in Table 3 below.

Dmin is the distance in m from the Node B to the rail, and v is the moving velocity
per hour of the train.
ZTE UMTS baseband subsystem employs a frequency offset compensation algorithm
independently developed by ZTE to ensure that the frequency offset estimation is within
a reasonable range and the changes of the frequency offset could be quickly tracked.
The figure below shows the obtained frequency offset tracking results.
28
The figure 21 shows the actual frequency offset after being compensated by ZTE UMTS
baseband subsystem. As can be seen, the estimated value of frequency offset well
coincides wit h the actual value of frequency offset, and the maximum frequency offset
estimation error is less than 300 Hz.

Handover Optimization
Soft handover is a particular policy of WCDMA systems. A user may establish and
maintain multiple wireless connections with multiple cells so as to obtain a gre ater link
gain. In high-speed scenarios, the system needs to provide a greater cell coverage
radius than in common scenarios, so as to avoid frequent handover. A large handover
zone, however, should be guaranteed among cells to ensure the users in macro
diversity as much as possible in order t o increase the macro diversity gain and to
guaranteeing users' QoS and seamless mobility accordingly.
In addition, the handover performance could be improved by configuring the handover
parameters.
The 1A (Rpt Range) configuration can be easily triggered, whereas it is
much more difficult to trigger the 1B (RptRange) configuration, so that the radio links are
in macro diversity as much as possible.
The time for triggering event reports is designed to smoothen the measurements and to
avoid erroneous event reports caused by burst signals. In high-speed scenarios, the
TrigTime parameter can be set to a small value for 1A events so as to timely responds to
the signal changing. For 1B events, it can be set to a large value s o that the
corresponding link will be removed from mac ro diversity only when the signal quality of
the link is really poor and thus the user's macro diversity gain is guaranteed as much as
possible.
In the case of inter-frequency hard handover and inter-system handover, the
compression mode should be started first. The UE performs inter-frequency or intersystem measurement. The measurements will be reported only when the conditions for
triggering inter-frequency handover or inter-system handover events are met. Thus there
is a large time delay. In general, the time required to complete inter -frequency hard
30
handover is about 1.4 to 2 seconds and the time for inter-system handover is about
seconds, even if handover event reporting is triggered immediately after the
activates the compression mode. Because the event reporting time of the UE is
certain, usually inter-frequency hard handover and inter-system handover are
recommended in high-speed scenarios.

3.8.6
Plan the c ell radius as large as possible in high-speed scenarios: When the
coverage radius of a cell is large enough, handover does not frequently occur even
if the UE moves at high speed.
Plan the handover zone as large as possible: This ensures that UEs are kept in
macro diversity state as much as possible.
31
this parameter should be set to a value as small as possible to quicken the cell
reselection procedure. Furthermore, parameters QHyst2S/QHyst1S and
Qoffset1S NSib11/Qoffset2S NSib11 can also be set to small values. Cell reselection
is performed as long as the signal quality of the neighboring cells is slightly better
than the signal quality of the current cell.
