Probability balancing at L2100 can take over ~16% from total good sample ( > -100dBm) based on coverage approach. • L1800 is still dominance taking over Potential the traffic and possible to be more MRBTSID EARFCN Layer Sample GT_-100dbm % Ave_Dist_GT_-100dbm Balancing offloaded to L2100 based on coverage 126 L2100 7057 6828 96.75% 15.76% 563.6 approach 248631 1875 L1800 36274 32051 88.36% 73.97% 902.59 • Should Not available or less sample at Total 43331 38879 L2100 need to check whether any layering parameters set is properly define or less UE ecosystem at this area, 8 13/03/2018 © Nokia 2014 Commercially Confidential UE CAPABILITY ANALYSIS DEVICE DISTRIBUTION 1800000 TIMING ADVANCE DISTRIBUTION < 500 m, BALI - URBAN AREA 1600000 1400000 1200000 1000000 24% 800000 TA1 : x<50% 46% TA2 :70>x>=50% 600000 TA3: 80%>x>=70% 400000 TA4 : x>80% 19% 200000 0 BALNUS KALIMANTAN PUMA SULAWESI 11% SUPPORT_3G_900 SUPPORT_3G_2100 SUPPORT_4G_900 SUPPORT_4G_1800 SUPPORT_4G_2100 SUPPORT_4G_FDD_2300 SUPPORT_4G_TDD_2300 #LTE_TERMINALL • Setting L2300 as highest priority still reasonable refers to UE capability information, where around ~ 75% UE are TDD 2300 capable in the network, it indicates potential UE which can be offloaded from L1800 to L2300 for capacity densification when L2300 set as highest priority . This information should be combine with coverage point of view. For Example : Urban area ( Denpasar City and Badung) in Bali case, around 46% of cell has TA < 500 m with number of sample > 80%, these cells are potential to be offloaded to L2300 as red site solution and layering to L2300 will perform effectively • L2100 and L900 capable UE is also quite mature where more less 75% UE in the network capable FDD L900 and more than 85% L2100. This ecosystem will support on layering performance. 9 13/03/2018 © Nokia 2014 Commercially Confidential SERVICE BEARER BASED APPROACH • Service bearer differentiation can be applied for GBR and Non GBR layer. • Specific layer is prioritized handling GBR Non GBR L2300_20 (7) service, in the other hand other layers are specify for Non GBR traffic in order to Non GBR L2300_10 (5) maintain non GBR cell throughput services • L900 with wider coverage and limited 5 Non GBR L1800_15 (6) MHz bandwidth is more priority handling GBR service • L2100 can be the 2nd GBR service handler Non GBR L2100_5 (4) 2nd GBR If there is no colo L900. • L1800 & L2300 are focused handling non GBR traffic capacity Non GBR L900_5 (3) 1st GBR • This differentiation is using Service Base Hand Over features.
