U900 Implementation
Recommendation:
Milestone: DR5
Date of review: March 27th, 2008
GO with Limitations(*)
DR5 Limitations(*):
Perf & Stab Monitoring on 900MHz cluster with real end-users traffic not done (no FUT available during Trials)
=> Action Plan: Need to perform a soak period (Stab & Perf monitoring) when U900MHz will be deployed and commercially open with enough endusers traffic (around 1000 Calls per BTS per Days for both CS & PS services). New counters interBand Mobility to be tested also (Feat.28356)
=> Risk: SW issues or instabilities when load will increase could happen.
HSUPA Service in the 900MHz Band has no been validated due to no UE available in the trials timeframes
=> Action Plan: R&D to plan formal tests campaign to give Green Light for HSUPA services with U900MHz (some basic tests already done low risk)
Proven of U900 enhancements versus U2100 not achieve on the field (mainly for Tput and Coverage enhancements)
=> Action Plan: WNE to get results ASAP from Bytel ongoing trial in order to definitely conclude on those topics
=> Risk: Gap between theoretical study versus live measurement could lead to business issue (on recommended lower number of sites for example)
SW Dependencies:
Recommended Load Line-up is OAM5.2.3 / RNC-BTS 5.1.3 to take into account latest fix of issues found during trials.
Minimum Load Line-up (without major issue) is OAM5.1.3 / RNC-BTS 5.0.3 (but RNC build required see slides)

> Supported configurations: OTOR1, BTBR1, STSR1 & 1+1 (no 2nd carrier)
> Tx Splitter not supported
> Full cabinet is now orderable and ready to be delivered with U900MHz
modules fully cabled (no more loose boards only)
> AISG features are not supported by U900 DDM (E or P). No 900MHz TMA
currently available in ALU portfolio. Could be purchased directly to other
suppliers and to be used through RETA Line or Bias-T kits with CCU.
> BTS 9332 rCompact (OD) is not supported for 900MHz Frequency Band
> Combo GSM/UMTS BTS 18000 (ind & out) is no more supported

(as expected)
No Degradation Seen during Drive Test
(but U900 improvements versus U2100
not really proven due to hilly area and
tools issues)
KPI defined by PLM thru an external FRS. FOA is measuring only a subset of
criteria in live. Subset selection agreed with FOA Customer. Other KPI are
measured in lab by R&D.
Measured KPI during FOA: CSSR, CST, CDR for CS, PS R99 and HSDPA as
well as Throughout for R99 and HSDPA Mono & Multi-users.

> Configuration: 2 BTS (3 sectors) with use of U900MHz Nod-B boards (per BTS):
1xTRM
3xSCPA-55W
3xDDM-P
Results:
All acceptance tests are successfully completed (including CS HO 3G to 2G)
Maximum possible throughput reached: HSDPA 3.2 Mbps with Cat8 mobile
(Limitation from NSN SGSN at 3,6Mbps)
Issue:
Coverage improvement between 2100 / 900 UMTS has never been really proved
during that trial. As well not proved due to Antenna connection issue UMTS900
coverage improvement versus GSM900 coverage
3G2G HHO Threshold to be clarified (voice quality degradation before HO if
Orange thresholds are applied (2100MHz values)

> Phase2:
Start Date = January08
Duration = 2 weeks
Load line-up: UA5.0.2 / OAM5.1.2
Scope: Demonstrate U900MHz functionalities to VP from Indosat + Postel (regulatory)
Results:
Successfully passed (Voice and Video call, 3G2G HHO, PS R99 call, HSDPA Tput,
Mobility scenario)
With up to 3 UE in // = 1.5Mbps each with 10SF4 code max. at RNC level
Up to 3Mbps for one user (limited by PS CN)
Ping RTT OK
Mobility:
HSDPA 3G2G HHO, SHO
CS, CSD: SHO, SSHO
RF interferences measurements (with spectrum analyzer) with GSM900: No impact
with only 2.6MHz spacing
With CDMA850 done: Need to use a CDMA pass band filter to reduce CDMA
interferences on UMTS 900MHz spectrum
Issues:
3G2G HHO Threshold to be clarified (voice quality degradation before HO if Orange
thresholds are applied (2100MHz value)
U900 Coverage improvements versus G900 not really proven but roughly same
distance achieve despite GSM antenna installed 10 meter higher than UMTS ones
and with the same tilt.

Mainly done by Bytel with support and optimization services provided by ALU
Phase1:
6 sites 2100 MHz + 1 site 900 MHz
End of engineering optimization: W10, W12 (including report completion)
Successfully done
LINE UP:
900->2100 ALU (6 nodes B U900 from Phase 2) + removal of U900 site (ALU): W42 & W43
Phase 3 pre-optim + optim ALU (tilts + neighboring + parameters): W43&W44

UMTS900 technology is currently available and most platform providers are commercializing it
Commercial device vendors are starting to commercialize UMTS900 capable devices but expect
operators to commit to the technology to ship large volumes
First units shipped in 2007 (Handset & data cards) - larger phone portfolio expected in 2008 ; market
take-off in 2009
First UPA data card available by mid 2008, mobiles expected 1-2 qtrs after
