5G Spectrum

-


The growing traffic demand necessitates increasing the amount of spectrum that may be utilised by the
5G systems. High frequency bands in the centimeter wave (cmWave) and millimeter wave (mmWave)
range will be adopted due to their potential for supporting wider channel bandwidths and the consequent
capability to deliver high data rates.
The new spectrum below 6GHz is expected to be allocated for mobile communication at the World Radio
Conference (WRC) 2015, and the band above 6GHz expected to be allocated at WRC 2019, as shown in
Figure.




5G network is a heterogeneous network which enables the cooperation between lower-frequency wide-area coverage network and high-frequency network. The consensus is higher frequency bands are the complementary bands to 5G whereas low frequency bands (<6GHz) are still the primary bands of 5G spectrum.

High frequency also enables unified access and backhaul since the same radio resources is shared. It is expected to use a unified air interface and a hierarchical scheduling for both radio access and backhaul which enables flexible backhauling and low-cost ultra dense networking (UDN).

Future radio access may also employ bands with different levels of access regulation including exclusive licensed, non-exclusive licensed and unlicensed bands. The 5G system treats both the licensed and unlicensed spectrum in a flexible, unified air interface framework.

SCFT - Single Cell Function test

-
Single Cell Function test SCFT is for verifying whether individual BTS works well or not, by making a single cell function test of BTS hardware and software. Essential items to be tested are as follows: 1) BTS Transmitter Output Measurement Test 2) Initial parameter establishment (Pilot PN/System ID/Site ID/Frequency, Neighbor List) 3) Call Origination and Termination Test 4) Softer Handoff Test/Antenna installation check (Direction, Tilt, Transmission Line) 5) Single Cell Coverage Test 6) Noise Floor Test 7) Parameter check.

Troubleshooting for GSM KPIs (SD Block & SD Drop)

-
KPIs to be monitored: ·             SD Blocking ·             SD Drop SDCCH Channel: ·    SDCCH channel is a dedicated channel which is using for LAC updation, Call Setup, SMS in Ideal mode. It works in UL & DL SD Blocking: ·    SD Blocking means that you are not getting SD resource for the call origination. When MS connects with Network then RACH and AGCH are provided. After AGCH, SDCCH is provided but if SDCCH is not provided at this time due to some problem or due to unavailable of SD by BSC. KPI Formula in Ericsson: ·             SDCCH CONGESTION = (CCONGS / CCALLS) * 100 ·             CCONGS - Congestion counter. ·             CCALLS - Channel allocation attempt counter (on SDCCH). Reason for SD Blocking: ·             LAC Boundary ·             High Volume of SMS ·             SD utilization is high ·             Time Slot fault

PS core network

Image
The PS core network consists of two parts, the traditional General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) core network and the new Evolved Packet System (EPS) core network. The PS core network connects mobile subscribers to Packet Data Networks (PDNs) such as the Internet, corporate networks or operator services networks.  a functional overview of the PS core network. Logical entities and interfaces are shown in black and form a 2G/3G network, while the blue boxes and lines in Figure  show the LTE/EPC related parts. The LTE/EPC network can be regarded as an extension and evolution of existing 2G/3G networks. From a node implementation perspective, there is no strict border between the two networks. The corresponding logical entities of GPRS and EPS networks can be deployed concurrently in Ericsson PS core nodes, such as the SGSN-MME and EPG; these are marked in red. In addition, Ericsson GPRS nodes can be upgraded with EPC functionality by software only. Network evolution is support
