Principles of Selecting Site
 The specific principles are described as follows:

 Construct BTS on the ideal position of a cell. The offset


should not exceed the ¼ of coverage radius.
 Under the condition of the BTS layout is not affected,
choose the existing equipment to reduce the construction
cost and period as possible .
 To control the coverage range, reduce the difficulty of
engineering construction, and be convenient for
maintenance, do not choose the sites on the mountain that
is on the border of the city or suburb.
(the relative altitude to the city: beyond 100m ~ 300m)

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HUAWEI Confidential P a ge 15


Principles of Selecting Sites
 Construct the BTS at a place where transport is fluent, supply of
mains is available, environment is safe, and there is a few filed.
 Do not construct the BTS near the high-power radio transmit
station, radar station, and other interference sources.
 Construct BTS at a place that is far away from the forest to avoid
the fast fading of received signal.
 Consider the signal reflection and time dispersion when
constructing the sites in the mountainous area, precipitous shore,
dense lake area, highland city, and the environment with high
metal building.
 When choosing site in the complex, realize the division of network
structure according to the height of building.
 At the early stage of constructing network, because of a few of
BTSs, ensure good coverage in important areas.

Selecting Antenna
 Selecting Antenna

 The selection for antenna is an important part of determining


the network quality.
 According to the requirements of coverage and service
quality, traffic distribution, landform, coverage in the entire
network, and interference, to select the antenna.
 According to landform or traffic distribution, the environment
of using antenna can be categorized into:
 City, suburb, countryside, highway, mountainous area,
offing, tunnel, and indoor environment

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HUAWEI Confidential P a ge 18


Principles of Selecting Antenna
 Selecting Antenna for the BTS in the city

 Choose the directional antenna with 60° ~ 65° half power angle.
 Choose the antenna with about 15dBi gain.
 Choose the antenna with 3° ~ 6°tilt angle.
 Choose dual polarization antenna.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HUAWEI Confidential P a ge 19


Principles of Selecting Antenna
 Selecting antenna for the BTS in the suburb

 According to actual conditions, choose the directional antenna


with 65°or 90° half power angle.
 Choose 15 ~ 18dBi middling or high gain antenna.
 According to actual conditions, determine whether the tilt angle
should be used.
 Dual polarization antenna and vertical polarization antenna are
both available.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HUAWEI Confidential P a ge 20


Principles of Selecting Antenna
 Selecting antenna for the BTS in the countryside

 According to actual conditions, choose 90°or 120° directional


antenna or omni-directional antenna.
 Choose directional antenna with 16 ~ 18dBi gain.
 Do not choose presetting tilt antenna. Choose null filling antenna
for the high BTS.
 The vertical polarization antenna is recommended.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HUAWEI Confidential P a ge 21


P rinciple s of S e le cting Ante nna
Selecting antenna for the BTS on the
highway
In general, choose narrow-beam and
high-gain directional antenna. According
to actual conditions, you also can choose
8-shaped antenna or omni-directional
antenna.
Because the BTS on the highway must
cover a long distance, do not choose the
presetting tilt antenna.
The vertical polarization antenna is
recommended.
The front-to-back ratio of the directional
antenna should not too great.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HUAWEI Confidential P a ge 22


Principles of Selecting Antenna

 Selecting antenna for the BTS in the tunnel

 Tunnel shorter than 2 km

Install the 10dB-12dB Yagi antenna/log-periodic


antenna/flat antenna in the jaws of tunnel to cover
a road that is less than 2km.

 Tunnel longer than 2 km

Use leaky feeder, coaxial cable, and fiber


distribution system.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HUAWEI Confidential P a ge 23


Principles of Selecting Antenna

 Selecting Indoor Antenna

 Omni-directional antenna

Vertical polarization, 2dBi gain, cap-shaped or cup-shaped, small


size, convenient for installation, graceful

 Directional antenna

Vertical polarization, 90°half power angle

7dBi gain

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HUAWEI Confidential P a ge 24


Antenna Height
 Principles of Design for Antenna Height

 Due to the installation space or cell planning, the heights of


antennas that are in different cells of a BTS can be different.
 For the BTS in the city, the height of antenna is about 25m.

 For the BTS in the suburb, the height of antenna is about 40m.

 If an antenna, particularly the omni-directional antenna, is too high,


the coverage level of the place that nears to the antenna may be
lowered, that is, no signal under the power.
 In addition, the too high antenna may lead to cross coverage and
intra-frequency/neighboring-frequency interferences that affect the
network quality.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HUAWEI Confidential P a ge 25


Azimuth Angle
 Principles of Design for Antenna Azimuth Angle

 Based on signal coverage, ensure that the azimuth angles of three sectors are the
same. Adjust the azimuth angles of antennas according to important coverage
objects on the border of city and suburb, in the traffic artery and isolated site of
suburb.
 To enhance the signal strength and improve call quality, adjust the major lobe of
antenna to face to the heavy-traffic areas.
 To control interference, adjust the major lobe of antenna to be apart from intra-
frequency cells.
 The cross coverage areas of neighboring cells in the city should not exceed 10%.

 The cross coverage areas of neighboring cells in the suburb and village should be
not too large. The azimuth angle of neighboring cells should not less than 90°.
 To avoid cross coverage, do not make the major lobe of antenna face to the
straight streets in the crowded areas.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HUAWEI Confidential P a ge 26


Tilt Angle
 Principles of Design for Tilt Angle

 The beam tilt is a basic technology for improving Frequency Reuse


capability.
 The antenna tilt technology is used to control coverage scope and
reduce the interferences in the system.
 To reduce the interferences from co-channel cells and meet the
coverage requirements, set the tilt angles based on specific conditions.
 The design for tilt angle should be based on transmitter power, antenna
height, cell coverage, and radio environment.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HUAWEI Confidential P a ge 27


Tilt Angle
 The antenna tilt is categorized into electrical mode and mechanical mode.
The angle of the electrical tilt is relative to the model of antenna. The angle
of the mechanical tilt is adjustable, but it is limited by installation accessory
and signal transportation. Often the angle should not exceed 15°.
 The electrical tilt and mechanical tilt have surface radiations that differ with
the increases of angles.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HUAWEI Confidential P a ge 28


Installing Antenna
 A. Installation Environment

 The installation environment contains the ambient of antenna


and that of BTS.
For the ambient of antenna, check the isolation between
antennas and impacts of tower and roof on antennas.
For the ambient of BTS, check whether the high buildings that
are 500m away have impacts on signal transportation.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HUAWEI Confidential P a ge 29


Installing Antenna
 When installing antenna, consider whether the ambient affects the

coverage cell. Keep the antenna away from barriers. If you need to
install antenna on the roof, try to install it on the edge.

Installing Antenna
 B. Antenna Isolation

 The receiver and transmitter must have a certain isolation.


 Isolation between antennas: Attenuation of signal from a
antenna port to another
 GSM system: The isolation between two transmitter antennas
and the isolation between the transmitter antenna and the
receiver antenna should be not fewer than 30dB.
− Antenna vertical layout: Lv=28+40log(k/λ)(dB)
− Antenna horizontal layout: Lv=22+20log(d/λ)-(G1+G2)-
(S1+S2)(dB)

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HUAWEI Confidential P a ge 31


Installing Antenna
 C. Requirements for Space of Diversity

 When you perform space diversity, the distance between two receiver
antennas should be 12λ to 18λ.
 When an antenna is installed highly, the horizontal space of the diversity
antenna should be large. Usually the space of diversity antenna is 0.11
times of the height of the antenna.
 To achieve the same effort, the vertical diversity space should be five to
six times of the horizontal diversity space.
 To reduce the mutual effects of two antennas, the horizontal diversity
space should be more than 3m.
