    This document discusses key parameters for calculating a UMTS link budget, including: 1) Defining the clutter type (e.g. urban, rural) based on subscriber density and building characteristics for the given area. 2) Parameters like BLER, Eb/No, body loss, and fade margin that account for things like signal quality, fading, and reliability. 3) Environment parameters like interference margin that depend on uplink/downlink loads. 4) Other factors like processing gain, maximum transmit power, and maximum allowable pathloss.

    UMTS Link Budget Basic Parameter

    To characterise a given area the distribution of environment types (Clutter) must be determined. The telecommunications industry has adopted the following general definitions High Dense Urban (Indoor and Outdoor). Low Dense Urban (Indoor and Outdoor). Suburban (Indoor and Outdoor). Rural (Indoor and Outdoor). Clutter types can generally be split up into groups based on the number of subscribers per Km2 and building height and density. High dense urban clutter types have the most subs/ Km2and a high density of building(s) in a small area. Buildings are typically tall. Rural clutter types have the lowest subs/ Km2. Buildings are generally sparsely distributed. Once the area to be simulated has been assigned clutter types, the environments can be defined.

    Link Budget Parameters 1. Uplink Dense Urban Link Budget

    2. BLER (Block Error Rate)

    3. Eb/No Performance The Eb/No value is a measure of the signal quality required by the UE or Node B in order to recover the required signal from the received signal. Eb/No is highly dependant upon many different parameters such as Bearer Rate, UE speed, Fading profile, Block Error Rate, etc.

    4. Body Loss

    5. Fade Margin Path Loss fading due to propagation distance, Long Term fading (slow) : caused by shadowing, depend on area coverage probability and standard deviation Short Term fading (fast) : caused by multipath propagation Coverage for all cases is for 90% cell coverage reliability, indoor and outdoor, at 64 kbit/s Uplink and 128kbit/s Downlink. This is implemented within the link budget using a lognormal fading standard deviation of 8dB, which produces a fade margin of 5.4dB for 90% cell coverage reliability. Error: Reference source

    not found shows how the fade margin varies against cell coverage and fading standard deviation.

    For example with 8dB standard deviation, a cell coverage reliability of 95% requires a fade margin of 8.6dB to be added to the link budget. In dense Urban environments, higher standard deviation such as 10dB may be used. This requires 11.7dB fade margin for 95% cell coverage reliability, thus reducing the cell range significantly. 6. Environment parameters: interference margin Uplink interference margin is Noise Rise in Node B,

    same uplink load same interference margin same downlink load, different downlink interference margin high throughput high interference margin Downlink Interference margin calctulation :

    7. Processing Gain Processing gain related to bearer data rate

    Nt = thermal noise (-108 dBm/3.84 MHz) Nf = noise figure of nodeB (1.6 dB for NodeB, 7 dB for UE) Eb/E0 = bit energy divided by noise spectral density

    8. Maximum Transmit Power per User connection In the Uplink direction, the standard maximum transmit power for a typical handset is +21dBm (equivalent to -9dBW or 125mW). An additional margin may be used to account for power control error due to fast fading at the edge of the cell. This is typically 2dB, which means that a value of +19dBm is actually used in

    the link budget for handset transmit power. In the downlink, different maximum power levels per UE connection are used depending upon the service bearer rate. For example, 1W (+33dBm) may be used for a voice user at he edge of the cell but 4W may be available for a 384k data connection. The maximum downlink power per user is set in the database at a level relative to the common pilot channel power and is based upon customer specifications. Within the link budget, a Fast Fade margin may again be used with the maximum power per link.

    9. Maximum Allowable Pathloss Maximum allowable pathloss = UE Transmit Power + Antenna Gain + SHO gain (Slow Fading Margin + Fast Fading Margin + Interference Margin + Body loss + Cable loss + penetration loss)
