 Executive Summary
1. 3rd carrier has been trial and implemented in the network with following service layering
strategy :
 Huawei : Random Camping
 Ericsson : “Semi” Random Camping (Preferred Camping with Open FACH on F2 & F3).
Proposed to be Random Camping as long term strategy
 NSN : “Semi” Random Camping (Preferred Camping with Open FACH on F2 & F3).
Proposed to be Random Camping as long term strategy
 ZTE : Random Camping
2. Based on trial result, 3rd carrier implementation must be implemented with regards end to
end capacity including but not limited additional hardware and license / feature such as CE,
IuB, power / RRU, OBSAI (for NSN), HSDPA user, HSDPA code to meet implementation
objective.
3. In order to get optimum capacity and quality is recommended that 3rd carrier is preferred to
be implemented in cluster based due to :
 Ensure smooth mobility between carriers (F1/F2/F3). Inter frequency mobility will
required compressed mode that could impact to quality & capacity
 “Spotty” F3 implementation will impact to coverage of F3 is wider compared with F1 &
F2 because Ec /No is better due to no interference from surrounding sites. This issue
will trigger accessibility issue in F1 & F2 if user moves from F3 to F1 or F2 (Low
Accessibility on F1 & F2 and Bad IFHO on F3).
4. All new F3 implementation must follow parameter setting guideline as mention below.

 Background & Objective

Background
1. Telkomsel has acquired 3rd Carrier license for 3G to enable capacity expansion without
new site implementation
2. 3rd carrier implementation is expected to solve capacity issue in 3G network as well as
improving quality

Objective
1. The objective is assessment to provide recommendation of 3rd carrier implementation
to meet capacity and quality objective as well as cost impact

 General Configuration Requirement
Based on trial result, here are general requirement for 3rd carrier activation in each vendor :
Additional Hardware Additional License / Feature
Vendor Service Layering
Requirement Requirement
- HSDPA Enabled in all carrier
- FRGP or FRGT - Flexi WCDMA BTS 60W Power LK
- Additional OBSAI - Flexi WCDMA BTS Multi Carrier LK
NSN Preferred Camping - FSME / FSMF - HSDPA 64 Users per Cell
- IuB over IP - HSDPA cell upgrade to 15 codes

- Upgrade BP board (BPK 384 CE) - SRB over HSDPA
ZTE Random Camping - PA min RSU40 (1x80W) - HSDPA Dedicated carrier
- IuB over IP - Directed retry between HS-DSCH and DCH
- HSDPA min 14.4 peak bit rate
5 Network Quality Management - High DL bit rate up to 15 code
 Fact Finding
Below are some issues in each vendor during 3rd carrier trial :
Vendor Issue Description Solution
• Based on trial, the best Layering
Load unbalanced when using random camping strategy. Many
EID • Unbalanced load strategy for EID is preferred camping
subscriber camp in F3 compare to F1 & F2.
• F3 Implementation in cluster

Current condition, ZTE is using random camping strategy and • Adjust idle parameter (Sintersearch,
balancing mode F1/F2/F3 is off. Due to F3 implementation is in Sintrasearch, Qqualmin, Qrxlevmin,
• Unbalanced Load
single Node B (not in cluster) may cause Ec/No in F3 very good Qoffset) to make F3 less dominant
and too dominant. • F3 Implementation in cluster
ZTE
Current condition, 1 Baseband pool can only handle 6 cells. So Upgrade Node B SW version to V4.11
• Unbalanced CE we need to create 1 additional baseband pool to cover up to 9 (Automatically Assign Baseband
utilization cells. This separated baseband pool will cause CE unbalanced Resource – “Yes” for all cells) to make
between the baseband pool (F1-F2 and F3). CE resource balanced
• Existing
OBSAI is used as connection from Baseband Unit (BBU) to
configuration
Radio Unit (RU) with max capacity only for 8 cell. 3rd carrier
only can max 8 Additional OBSAI
implementation without additional OBSAI will cause only 2 F3
cells on air in 1
cell can on air meanwhile 1 more remaining cell cannot on air.
NSN Node B
• Layering parameter adjustment
Load unbalanced, F3 coverage a lot bigger than F1 & F2
• Using preferred camping strategy
• Unbalanced load because Ec /No is better due to no interference from
• HSDPA Enabled in all carrier
surrounding sites
• Implementation in cluster
Using existing RU 80 Watt, power per carrier for 2 carrier site
is 40 Watt and use CPICH 4W / 36 dBm (10% of power). With
Huawei • Less DL power F3 addition means 80 watt will be devided by 3 carrier Additional RRU is required
(26.67W) and CPICH might be reduce become 2.67W / 34.27
6 dBm. Drawbacks : coverage
Network will be
Quality reduced.
Management
 3rd Carrier Assessment Conclusion

• Based on assessment result, it can be concluded that 3rd carrier

implementation must be followed by CE upgrade, IuB upgrade, power /
RRU, OBSAI (for NSN), HSDPA user, HSDPA code, additional license /
feature to get optimum capacity & quality
• 3rd carrier is preferred to be implemented in cluster based instead of
individual Node B that is defined as high demand data traffic to ensure
smooth mobility. Here are detail trade off :
