Set INTERRATCELLRESELEN of the original cells to YES. Then. an MS can properly select and access a radio network.GSM Feature Configuration 20 Configuring Abis over IP 1 Context Configuring System Information Sending Prerequisites The original cells have 2G neighboring cells. They can be used to solve the problems of continuous coverage and sporadic coverage in hotspot areas. Hybrid cells can increase the cell capacity. signals of the DCS1800 band are about 15 dB weaker than those of the GSM900 band.GSM Feature Configuration 20 Configuring Abis over IP 2 Prerequisites Context Configuring Hybrid Cell The BTS must support the configured frequency bands. Therefore. a channel in the overlaid subcell is not directly assigned to a call. A hybrid cell consists of an underlaid subcell and an overlaid subcell. Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co. The traffic in the underlaid subcell and the overlaid subcell should be properly assigned to maintain the load balance between the overlaid subcell and the underlaid subcell.. If the overlay cell is configured in the PCS1900 band. the underlaid cell is configured in the GSM900 or GSM850 band. the BCCH is generally configured on the GSM900 TRX. decrease the number of handovers. whereas the DCS1800 or PCS1900 TRX is configured in the overlaid cell to absorb the traffic. the GSM900 or GSM850 TRX is configured in the underlaid cell to expand the coverage. Avoid using a multi-layer concentric cell due to inconsistent combination modes of the TRXs on the same frequency band. The FH within the same frequency band is allowed. The frequency hopping (FH) between GSM900 and DCS1800 is not allowed. At the distance of 0. Ltd 1 Issue 01 (2010-11-04) . Generally. A multi-layer concentric cell affects the network KPIs. such as the handover success rate and assignment success rate. The frequency band configuration is as follows: If the overlaid subcell is configured in the DCS1800 band. an incoming inter-cell handover request is not directly assigned to the overlaid subcell. and a call beyond the coverage of the DCS1800 TRX is not forcibly assigned to the overlaid subcell. the underlaid cell is configured in the GSM850 band.5 km to 1 km. The signal loss of the DCS1800 band changes with the transmission distance. and reduce system interference. The configuration of the hybrid cell should comply with the following principles: Generally. The priorities of different types of TRXs are: P-GSM > E-GSM > R-GSM. ----End 2 Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co. In this step..
