Brief Introduction to the GENEX U-Net
The GENEX U-Net is a professional design tool for the wireless network. It
supports GSM GPRS-EDGE, Is-95 CDMAOne,
CDMA2000 1xRTT 1xEVDO, UMTS WCDMA, UMTS HSDPA, and Microwave
Radio Link.
The GENEX U-Net has real mobility for planning and design, used in lots of
different items. It supports the single-server configuration and network
configuration based on an enterprise server. In single-server mode, users can
share the project data of the GENEX U-Net without connecting to an external
database.
The GENEX U-Net has a modern software architecture and an open
extensible platform.

Principles of System Simulations
Reasons for using system simulations
The WCDMA system ensures connection quality through power
control. Coverage is nearly associated with capacity. Both the
coverage and capacity are affected by many random factors and
thus cannot be calculated directly. Most network performance
indicators required for planning need to be determined through
system simulations.

Principles of System Simulations
Principles of system simulations
Static simulations
During a static simulation, you can learn the network
performance by analyzing the snapshots.
Dynamic simulations
During a dynamic simulation, you can learn the network
performance by analyzing the movement of UEs in
successive timeslots.
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. All rights reserved Page 7
Principles of System Simulations: Static
Simulations
Taking a certain number of snapshots of the network
Each snapshot generates a mobile station or terminal distribution
according to certain rules (such as random even distribution);
The capability of a terminal for connecting to the network is
obtained through iterative calculation;
Various causes to connection failures are considered (exceeding
the maximum uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) transmit power, no
available channels, low Ec/Io, and UL or DL interference);
The statistics of snapshots can be collected and analyzed for
knowing the network performance.
The Monte Carlo simulation is a static simulation.

Features of the Monte Carlo Simulation
Through the generation and statistics of random variables,
a complex system involving several random variables can
be simulated.
The simulation results become more accurate when more
samples are provided.

Dynamic Simulations
Taking a certain number of snapshots of the network
In dynamic simulations, the scenarios where UEs move on
the network are simulated.
The distribution of UEs (similar to a snapshot) is generated
in the first timeslot;
In Successive timeslots, which are then simulated
dependant upon simulation results of the previous timeslot;
The simulation process begins when a new mobile station
is connected to the network and ends when the
conversation is over.

Comparison Between Different Simulation
Methods
Static Simulations vs. Dynamic Simulations
Static Simulations: A large amount of data needs to be
calculated (the specific amount of data depends on the number
of snapshots). The configuration and results are complex but
accurate.
Dynamic Simulations: A large amount of data needs to be
calculated and the calculation takes a long time. In addition,
accurate traffic maps are required for dynamic simulations. The
simulation results cannot be used for reference if the traffic
maps are not accurate.

Reasons for Call Rejections
Number Symptom Rejection Reason
1 Ec/Io < (Ec/Io)min The quality of DL pilot signals is not good.
2
Ptch > PtchMax (FCH or
SCH)
The receive power of DL traffic channel is
not adequate.
3 Pmob > PmobMax The UL transmit power is not adequate.
4 Admission rejection UL or DL access threshold is reached.
5
Load saturation (when the
admission is permitted or
congestion occurs )
The signal quality is not good (see rejection
reasons 1, 2, and 3). Thus, the maximum
load factor is exceeded.
6 Channel element saturation
The signal quality is not good (see rejection
reasons 1, 2, and 3). Thus, the site does
not have sufficient channel elements.
7 Cell power saturation
The signal quality is not good (see rejection
reasons 1, 2, and 3). Thus, the cell does
not have adequate power.
8 OVSF code saturation
The signal quality is not good (see rejection
reasons 1, 2, and 3). Thus, the OVSF
codes are saturated.
9 Multiple causes
When the network is saturated, any of the
preceding reasons may cause rejection to the
access of a mobile station.

Neighbor Allocation Principles
1. Cells adjacent to each other are generally considered as neighboring cells. Neighboring
cells are generally neighbors to each other, that is, if sector carrier A takes B as a
neighbor, B should also take A as a neighbor.
2. In dense urban areas and common urban areas, the distance between sites are short (0.5
to 1.5 kilometre) and thus more neighboring cells should be configured. Currently, the
maximum number of intra-frequency, inter-frequency and inter-system neighboring cells
are respectively 32. Therefore, when configuring neighboring pilot frequencies, pay
attention to the number of neighbors. Those who are really neighbors should be
included and those who are not should be excluded, avoid to impropriate the
quota of neighboring cells gather.so that real pilot frequencies are not excluded from
the neighboring set to cause interference. In an actual network, adequate neighboring
cells should be configured but excessive neighboring cells should be avoided.
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. All rights reserved Page 62
Neighbor Allocation Principles
3. In suburbs and suburban counties, though the distance between
sites is long, cells adjacent to each other must be considered as
neighboring cells to ensure quick handoff and avoid call drops.
4. In the WCDMA system, the neighboring cells do not have an
order and the detection period is short (generally a detection
period of 320 ms is required for 32 intra-frequency cells).
Therefore, neighboring cells only need to be neighboring cells
only need to be considered no miss,but do not need to be
ordered according to signal strength.

Principles for Scrambling Code Planning
The allocation of DL primary scrambling codes does not affect the simulation of
the network. The number of DL primary scrambling codes, however, is only 512.
Because of limited resources, the allocation of DL primary scrambling codes
must be considered during the cell planning. Considering the future expansion
and coverage of the network, not all the DL primary scrambling codes are used
at the initial phase of the network planning. Some of the scrambling codes
should be reserved. Reasonable planning of DL primary scrambling codes is
required. Thus, the utilization of code resources can be enhanced through the
reuse of scrambling codes.
In the planning of primary scrambling codes of the cells, intra-frequency cells
that cause interference to the primary cell should not use the same primary
scrambling codes as the primary cell.

Solution: Ensure that the
maximum and minimum
allowed DL traffic power
is properly set.

Common Reasons for Users Being Rejected (3)
Ec/Io>(Ec/Io)min
Reason: Ec/Io fails to reach the Ec/Io threshold to access the
Active Set.
Solution: Choose UMTS Parameters > Mobility Type >
properties for setting. Generally, the value cannot be modified,
because it is determined by the corresponding standard or device.
Only the azimuth or downtilt of the transmitter can be adjusted to
improve the network quality and lower the rejection rate.

Common Reasons for Users Being Rejected (4)
Load saturation
Reason: network load saturation
Solution: Increase UL load. Generally, the parameter cannot be
modified. Reduce the number of users to reduce the network load.
You can also add more BTSs to improve the network bearer
capability.
Ch.Elts saturation
Reason: lack of channel elements (CEs)
Solution: Ensure that the number of CEs in the BTS is proper.

Common Reasons for Users Being Rejected (5)
Cell power saturation
Reason: cell power saturation
Solution: Ensure that the allowable power of DL traffic serve
channel is properly set.
Multiple causes
Reasons: The same user is rejected in different iterations for different
reasons.
Solution: Check for the other main causes besides multiple cause. In
most cases, a user is not rejected for this reason. The times of being
rejected for this reason can be reduced by reducing the main reasons
for rejection.

Common Reasons for Users Being Rejected (6)
Code saturation
Reason: lack of code
resources
Solution: As shown in the
following figure, if Number
of Codes is not selected,
code resources are not
considered during the
simulation. In addition,
Coding factor in the
Service Attribute window
should be proper.
Generally, the Coding
Factor is set to 1.

Common Reasons for Users Being Rejected (7)
Admission rejection
Reason: The UL interference is too strong.
Solution: Lower the height of the antennas (the most effective
way);
Enlarge the downtilt of the antennas, and RET
antennas is preferred. Generally, set the mechanical tilt less than
six degree.
Adjust the azimuth;
Change the antennas;
Add BTSs.
