Operators Facing Challenges in LTE RNP

LTE Capability
What are the LTE coverage and capacity? How good is LTE comparing with 2G/3G? How many LTE sites should be deployed?

Reuse & Indoor

???

LTE system reuses legacy facilities. Cost & risk balancing of co-antenna/feeder. Complicated indoor coverage planning.

LTE Interference
Risk of negative impact to current 2/3G network caused by LTE. Need solution to avoid interference. Difficult to do LTE frequency planning.

RNP Engineering
Long time spent on LTE network planning. Lots of human resource spent on RNP. High professional level requirement to RNP engineer.

Co-Antenna/Feeder Analysis (2/5)


Co-antenna/feeder with 2/3G system Co-antenna Analysis Co-feeder Analysis
Benefit:
No more antenna installation space

Benefit:
Saving feeder cost

Risk:
Additional diplexers cause insertion loss Can not adjust azimuth/tilt independently

Risk:
High feeder loss in 2.6GHz. Additional loss caused by additional diplexers/TMAs Negative impact on 2/3G coverage

Recommendation:
Wide band or multi band Same gain and beam width RET for SON High front-to-back ratio

Recommendation:
RRU installed near to antenna Thicker feeder (Optional)
