OBJECTIVE
Test Antenna Hopping in the field and validate gains in terms of major KPIs.

TRIAL BSC OVERVIEW


Initially BSO10 ( Quito City) was selected for the trial. But for some pre-scheduled works in that BSC, it was discarded.
The new BSC chosen for the trial was BSCO6. This BSC covers the town Santo Domingo. No of sites : 40 No of Sectors : 111 No of TRX : 297

Feature Overview :
Antenna Hopping is a downlink performance enhancement feature designed to improve link performance where frequency hopping is not in use or not effective due to high correlation between frequencies. In a typical sector where you have the BCCH and hopping layer, the BCCH layer has no downlink diversity since it is only one frequency transmitting over a single antenna. This makes it more susceptible to noise, interference and fading. The hopping layer however has the advantage that it is hopping from one frequency to another creating phase diversity where it combats long term fading and frequency related interference. This feature enables the TRXs in an RF hopping BTS to transmit with all the TX antennas in the BTS. With AH the improvement is more substantial on the nonhopping layer because we bring it to almost equal link performance with the hopping layer. This translates to gain on the non-hopping layer that will improve existing coverage and RSSI levels. This feature would also be very beneficial in interference-limited areas.

Some Highlights of the Feature :

1.
2. 3.

CX4 software version should be present in the BTS.


All TRX present in the BTS must be EDGE-capable. With Antenna Hopping it is possible to gain better spectral efficiency on the BCCH layer.

4. The Antenna Hopping also helps to avoid the interference and frequency selective fading. 5. No hardware changes required in BTS for implementing the feature. 6. Minimum two TRX to be present in the cell for working of this feature.

Activating Antenna Hopping : Lock the BTS so that the Antenna Hopping for UltraSite BTS parameter can be modified (EQS). ZEQS:BTS=1:L; Activate the Antenna Hopping in the BCS (WOA). ZWOA:2,809,A; Activate the Antenna Hopping in the BTS (EQE). ZEQE:BTS=1:AHOP=Y;

Unlock the BTS (EQS). ZEQS:BTS=1:U;

Downlink Quality BSC Level

dlq_2 is seen degraded after the implementation as Conecel only counts good samples till q4. As expected, a major q4 samples converted to q5 samples due to the effect of hopping. We have calculated dlq_2 taking q5 as a good sample & that shows not much impact.( Described later) Field drive test also ensures no markable quality degradations.

This BSC trend shows a less drop call at higher EFL as it is covering a small town. A lot of cells are outskirt/rural having less traffic & high drop call

Each dot is representing a cell, DCR with respect to the EFL of the cell.

The improvement over DCR is observed throughout. At the highest EFL, the improvement is the highest i.e. around 30%.

The calculated dlq_2 ( Considering q5 as good sample) has no significant changes as we already seen in previous slide. This indicates only q4 samples are converted into q5 samples. It is recommended for hopping enabled network to consider q5 as a good sample because of the gain over interference due to hopping. Soc Classification level
