Purpose of the Guide Initial radio parameters need to be configured and data need to be planned by engineers from Customer
Service Department for the newly established or capacity expanded network before commissioning and debugging. The document mainly introduces detailed principles and methods for radio parameters planning in newly established network, including cells basic information, such as cells ID, scrambling codes, neighbor cells, etc. 2 Radio Parameter of WCDMA Newly-constructed Network Radio parameters mentioned here represent some parameters in each practical network that need to be set according to practical situation, such as network number, NodeB number, cell number, routing area code, etc.; some commonly used parameters such as cell handover parameter and reselection parameter can be generally set as default and wont be described here. These configured parameters need to be set in OMC by engineers from Customer Service Department, some need to be set in NodeB, such as cell number. Because there are numerous data in large networks, data batch input can be realized in OMC for convenient configuration; each parameter owns input template.

configured in WCDMA system. All cell radio parameters that need to be configured are listed in the following table, mainly in sky-blue part, which will be introduced one by one as follows. What need to be noticed is that the parameters input in template mode for configuring are controlled by one RNC; if parameters are controlled by several RNC, they need to be configured for several times by the same configuration method.

2.1.1
MCC
MCC is Mobile Country Code for uniquely identifying countries in which mobile subscriber (or system) is located; it is allocated internationally and the code for China is 460, while the code for other countries can be searched out on Google website. 2.1.2 MNC
MNC is Mobile Network Code for uniquely identifying a specific PLMN in a certain country (determined by MCC), it is provided by operators such as China Mobile and China Unicom. 2.1.3 RNCId RNCId is for uniquely identifying RNC in a specific PLMN in one country (determined by MCC). If there is only one RNC, RNCId can be set randomly; its default value is 1. If the network dimension is so large that many RNC are used, then RNCId shall be set flexibly and differentiated by different construction period, different cities, different NodeB model (R99/HSDPA), etc. 2.1.4 NodeB No NODEB number is valid only to RNC; its value is from 0 to 65535 and is usually restricted by RNC capacity and practical network dimension. There will not be too many NodeB controlled by one RNC, so different value range can be used to identify different NodeB. If the sites number shall be the same with that in GSM system, we use GSM numbering. NodeB is classified by phase, for instance, 1XXX represents phase one, 2XXX represents phase two, etc. NodeB number can also be used for differentiating RNC boundary, cities (for instance, 1XX represents city one, 2XX represents city two, etc.), site types (macro-site/micro-site, R99/HSDPA, etc.) as well as other features. 2.1.5 SectorId Sector Identity is only valid in Node B; its value scope is from 1 to 6. Sectors are named 1, 2, 3 clockwise from the North. Generally the site with one carrier and three sectors is in common use, so sector identity value is usually from 1 to 3. 2.1.6 Cid
Cell Identitys scope is from 0 to 65535, uniquely for identifying cell in RNC. When the network dimension is relatively small, Cid is represented as NodeB NoSectorId that limits the maximum This document contains proprietary information of ZTE Corporation and is not to be disclosed or used except in accordance with applicable agreements.

2.1.7
LAC
LAC is Location Area Code. For locating MS, each covering area in PLMN has been divided into several location areas; location area code is to identify different location areas. LAC is a part of LAI (LAI = MCC + MNC + LAC). LAI is Location Area Identity. One location area is composed by several cells. Cell number set in location area is mainly determined by paging capacity, frequency update and traffic distribution. Paging capacity determines the maximum cell number; too frequent frequency update may cause low call success rate and limits the minimum site number. LAC boundary shall be located in the place where traffic is low. Detailed LAC planning please refer to WCDMA LAC Planning Instruction. 2.1.8 SACPC
SAC is Serving Area Code, uniquely identifies one cell or several cells in one location area. It is used to locate UE for CN. One cell has one or two SAC, one belongs to CS +PS domain, and another belongs to BC domain. One cell has to own one SAC belongs to CS +PS domain, which is SACPC. The value of cells serving area code belongs to CS+PS domain is corresponding to RAC. 2.1.9 SACB
SACB is Serving Area Code belong to BC domain; its default value is 0. This document contains proprietary information of ZTE Corporation and is not to be disclosed or used except in accordance with applicable agreements.

The meaning of each parameter is understandable, so we mainly introduce method and principle of neighbor cell configuration. Principle of neighbor cell configuration mainly includes neighbor cell number, geographic topological structure, coverage interference, etc. Because the maximum number of neighbor cell list within a system is regulated as 31 in protocol, neighbor cell lists will be combined in soft handover status; we need to control neighbor cell number in configuration and try to minimize it as much as possible in the precondition of insuring the successful handover. Now all of the network planning and simulation software can be used for neighbor cell planning; for instance, the already existed neighbor cell relationship can be input in Atoll. But the accuracy of the present planning result of network planning and simulation software still needs to be improved; the situation of too many configured neighbor cells or missing out neighbor cell configuration happens, therefore we can use RNA to carry out manual checking and neighbor cell planning if the sites scale isnt large. Whether neighbor cell list setting is reasonable impacts handover between sites; the initial neighbor cell list formed in system design phase is set according to the following mode, then neighbor cell list will be adjusted according to handover times after system is commissioned. Cells of one same site have to be set as each others neighbor cell; the first layer and the second layer cells can be chosen as the present cells neighbor cell according to present cells coverage (shown in the following figure). The second layer cells on the same direction of the present sector are set as its neighbor cells, the first layer cells on the opposite direction of the present sector are also set as its neighbor cells. The following is an example of neighbor cell setting shown in figure 1. The red one is the present cell whose scrambling codes are set as 4, 8 and 12; those cells formed in boldfaced broken lines are present sectors neighbor cells. Pink ones are the first layer cells; blue ones are the second layer cells.

Adjust neighbor cells according to each cells configured neighbor cell number as well as the situation whether cells are set as mutual neighbor cells. We try to realize neighbor cell mutual configuration; in principle, neighbor cell number shall not exceed 18, neighbor cell mutual configuration rate has to be higher than 90%. The adjustment order is firstly the second layer cells that arent on the direction of the present cell, and secondly the second layer cells that are on the direction of the present cell.

Internal Use Only 2.3 Neighbor Cell Configuration beyond the System
When constructing network with other system, such as GSM system, on the coverage edge of WCDMA system, UE can continuously enjoy services through handover to GSM system due to GSM systems long-time construction and perfect coverage. Therefore, neighbor cells among systems need to be configured for handover or reselection. The following table shows template parameters in neighbor cell configuration among systems.
