Why Refarming? Demands from Data Growth
Data services offset the Coverage No 3G service in rural area

falls of voice revenue and Requirement Coverage gap between 2.1GHz and 900MHz
becomes the key driver to
growth
Voice ARPU falls in 4 countries Service Poor or No data service in rural area
Requirement (inc. fixed data access)
Capacity
2.1GHz spectrum insufficient for 3G capacity
Requirement
UMTS grows as GSM turns down

Cost
TCO (UMTS 900MHz) << TCO (UMTS 2.1GHz)
Requirement
Evolution partial 900MHz frequencies spared as GSM subscribers

Requirement moving to UMTS gradually

Refarming Get Better Network on Lower Cost
n Radio planning U900 vs. U2100: about 6dB better link budget in U900, Cell Coverage of U900 2.5~3
times larger than U2100
n Radio planning U900 vs. G900: Link budget +6-9dB, Better receiver sensitivity
n Capacity planning: Co-site for higher capacity sharing, 50% fewer sites with U900 than U2100

n Traffic sharing Strategy

Better cell handover Camp on G1800 and G900 randomly in the idle state,
Load balance handover
UE prefers to make the cell selection to G1800.
Allow intra-frequency better cell handover;

Antenna Solution Summary
Solution Advantages Disadvantages
Easy to implement RF optimization

Independent antenna much additional cost needed
respectively.
1) 3G and 2G system can not adjust the down tilt angle and
Save the installation space and cost for
Co-antenna with SASU azimuth independently;
antenna and feeder
2) downlink increase less than 0.6dB loss.
1) 3G and 2G system can not adjust the down tilt angle and
Co-antenna with 3dB Save the installation space and cost for
azimuth independently;
combiner antenna and feeder
2) downlink increase more than 3 dB loss.
1) save the space and cost of antennas

and feeders;
Co-antenna 3G and 2G system can not adjust the down tilt angle and azimuth
2) No insertion loss;

Mobile strategy
In idle state, bidirectional reselection between U900
and U2100, Bidirectional handover based on coverage
from UMTS2100 to UMTS900 is recommended
In only U2100 F0,F1,or F2 overlapped coverage area,
UE camp on UMTS2100 F0 as preference.
U2100 F1 and F2 have higher priority for HSPA service
than U2100 F0, and such service accessing to F0 will
DRD to F1,F2.
