Why Refarming? Demands from Data Growth

Data services offset the falls of voice revenue and becomes the key driver to growth
Voice ARPU falls in 4 countries
Coverage Requirement
No 3G service in rural area Coverage gap between 2.1GHz and 900MHz
Service Requirement
Poor or No data service in rural area (inc. fixed data access)
Capacity Requirement
UMTS grows as GSM turns down
2.1GHz spectrum insufficient for 3G capacity
Cost Requirement
TCO (UMTS 900MHz) << TCO (UMTS 2.1GHz)
Evolution Requirement
partial 900MHz frequencies spared as GSM subscribers moving to UMTS gradually

Refarming Get Better Network on Lower Cost
Radio planning U900 vs. U2100: about 6dB better link budget in U900, Cell Coverage of U900 2.5~3 times larger than U2100 Radio planning U900 vs. G900: Link budget +6-9dB, Better receiver sensitivity Capacity planning: Co-site for higher capacity sharing, 50% fewer sites with U900 than U2100

Typical Deployment Strategy for Refarming

Extend 3G Coverage In Sub-urban & Rural

Improve 3G Coverage in Urban area

Initial 3G Roll-out In All areas

No UMTS service coverage yet voice traffic is low, easy to release frequencies for UMTS Poor or No fixed broadband
Indoor coverage is not good Blind spots in dense urban Frequent handover between UMTS 2.1Ghz and GSM 900Mhz due to coverage quality difference
No 3G service yet anywhere No 2.1Ghz spectrum Sufficient 900Mhz spectrum for network-wide refarming

Sandwich frequency solution
Sandwich allocation flexibly puts U900 carrier into the proper spectrum location based on the UU solution and interference consideration with other operators. Sandwich frequency solution
Edge allocation solution

Edge allocation solution has lower frequency utilization since the more frequency guard bandwidth shall be reserved to avoid the risk. Min. frequency gap (f1): 2.2MHz separation Min. frequency gap (f2): 2.6MHz between UMTS900 and the GSM900 of neighbour operator Edge frequency solution
Sandwich frequency solution is preferred

Antenna Solution Summary

Solution Independent antenna Advantages Easy to implement RF optimization respectively. Co-antenna with SASU Save the installation space and cost for antenna and feeder 1) 3G and 2G system can not adjust the down tilt angle and azimuth independently; 2) downlink increase less than 0.6dB loss. Co-antenna with 3dB combiner Save the installation space and cost for antenna and feeder 1) 3G and 2G system can not adjust the down tilt angle and azimuth independently; 2) downlink increase more than 3 dB loss. Co-antenna with GU mRRU/mRFU 1) save the space and cost of antennas and 3G and 2G system can not adjust the down tilt angle and azimuth feeders; 2) No insertion loss; 3) Easy RF tuning for 2G/3G co-coverage objectives; independently; Disadvantages much additional cost needed

Mobile strategy
In idle state, bidirectional reselection between U900 and U2100, Bidirectional handover based on coverage from UMTS2100 to UMTS900 is recommended In only U2100 F0,F1,or F2 overlapped coverage area, UE camp on UMTS2100 F0 as preference. U2100 F1 and F2 have higher priority for HSPA service than U2100 F0, and such service accessing to F0 will DRD to F1,F2.

Huawei UMTS900M Refarming Deployment Strategy and RNP

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

Why Refarming? Demands from Data Growth

No 3G service in rural area Coverage gap between 2.1GHz and 900MHz

Poor or No data service in rural area (inc. fixed data access)

2.1GHz spectrum insufficient for 3G capacity

TCO (UMTS 900MHz) << TCO (UMTS 2.1GHz)

partial 900MHz frequencies spared as GSM subscribers moving to UMTS gradually

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

Refarming Get Better Network on Lower Cost

Flexible Huawei UMTS Refarming Solution

with 0.1MHz steps for both downlink and uplink

according to actual conditions.

More valuable spectrum left to GSM use

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

Flexible Huawei UMTS Refarming Solution

Edge allocation solution

Sandwich frequency solution is preferred

Huawei Refarming Solution highlights

Tighter Frequency Reuse

less spectrum bandwidth needed for UMTS

to 44% less spectrum bandwidth needed for GSM

Guarantee better coverage 6 Maximize value of investment

Sandwich & Buffer Zone

Negative Impact to GSM

2G Traffic Transfer Strategy

Easy to maintenance Improve 2G/3G performance

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

UMTS 900 Refarming RNP Procedure

Refarming key points:

Interference Analysis among UMTS900 & other Systems

Capacity Analysis to meet both GSM & UMTS traffic requirement

UMTS900 Dimension and Plan

Inter-RAT Operation design GU antenna solution

2G Traffic Transfer Procedure

Reduce the Configuration

Frequency bandwidth After Refarming

2G traffic migration Strategy-1 G900->G1800)

Traffic sharing Strategy

2G traffic migration Strategy-2 G900->U900)

Better cell handover Load balance handover Coverage edge handover

Traffic sharing Strategy

UMTS Dimension Consideration

U900 R99 +HSPA

U900 is continuously covered; U2100 is NOT continuously covered;
