| On Nov. 24 and 25, 2006, seminar on TD-SCDMA Network Planning
and Optimization was successfully held by TD-SCDMA Forum in Lijiang,
Yunnan Province. Over 70 representatives from the Forum member
organizations and other interested parties attended this seminar.
Organizations involved in this seminar included MII science and
technology Dept., RITT, China Telecom, China Netcom, Datang Mobile,
TD Tech, Huawei Technologies, Alcatel Shanghai Bell, UT Starcom,
Qualcomm, Potevio, Fiberhome, Comba, T3G, Commit, CUPT, Infineon,
Philips, Intel, Protek, Motorola, TCL, Samsung, LG, Agilent, Tektronix,
Seahigh (Shanghai), France Telecom, NTT DoCoMo, SKT, Ericsson,
NOKIA, NEC, Bynear Telesoft, Tongyu Communication, Transcom£¬PUTIAN-NOKIA
Joint Venture, Netrein (Shanghai), Sunwave, Korea Inha University
Wireless Communication Research Lab, National Taiwan University,
NEMO Technologies Ltd etc. In-depth discussion was held on issues
related to trails of large scale TD-SCDMA network deployment.
Eg. principles and solutions of TD-SCDMA network planning and
optimization, TD-SCDMA N frequency network deployment, TD-SCDMA
indoor coverage and TD-SCDMA network planning and optimization
tools, etc.
Firstly, Dr. Jing Wang, Secretary General of TD-SCDMA Forum
delivered his opening remark. He said that the Forum had held
a seminar on TD-SCDMA network planning in April this year and
the main objective of which was to learn lessons from WCDMA
deployment. Currently, the trials of large-scale TD-SCDMA network
deployment are going smoothly. The TD-SCDMA network planning
and optimization are critical in its commercialization. We organize
this seminar to provide viewpoints and opinions in related with
network planning and optimization, which are in urgent need
in the industry.
Mr. Yu Shengduo, Director from MII Science and Technology Dept.
said, TD-SCDMA network construction is the priority in the next
stage TD-SCDMA development. Good network planning and optimization
will help to guarantee better customer experience of different
TD-SCDMA services. This will also benefit the fast and healthy
development of the TD-SCDMA industry. He highly appreciated
seminars and workshops hosted by TD-SCDMA Forum in year 2006,
such as seminars on TD-SCDMA terminals and chipsets, TD-SCDMA
network planning and optimization and etc. He also encouraged
the Forum to organize more similar activities in the future
addressing hot topics in this industry.
The seminar was presided by Mr. Wei Guiming, Director of MII
telecom standard research institute (RITT). He stated that multi-carrier
N frequency network deployment will dominate the future TD-SCDMA
network construction. Network planning includes not only technology
aspect, but also project construction and equipment configuration,
etc. These aspects are interdependent. In addition, the hybrid
network of 2G and 3G is complicated. Issues like interference
between the two neighboring frequencies must be taken into consideration
in the network planning phase. The efficiency and effectiveness
of network optimization is also key to network deployment.
This seminar attracted a lot of attention from domestic and
overseas telecom operators. Representatives from China Telecom,
China Netcom, France Telecom, NTT DoCoMo, SKT attended this
seminar and expressed their opinions on issues like how to avoid
problems in TD-SCDMA code planning in the planning and operation
of TD-SCDMA services, voice and data service planning in N frequency
network deployment, UpPTS shifting, TD-SCDMA indoor coverage,
TD-SCDMA frequency allocation and usage, time slot adjustment
in TD workflow, switches between TD-SCDMA and WCDMA, TD-SCDMA
network planning and optimization tools, etc.
The presentations in the seminar mainly focused on two issues.
One is the technology planning, network deployment, TD-SCDMA
long term evolution, etc. Presentations in this column included:
Technology and Tools for TD-SCDMA Network Planning and Optimization
by TD Tech, Multiple Frequency Cell Technology- Enhance the
TD-SCDMA Network Performance by Datang Mobile, Principles and
Solutions of TD-SCDMA network deployment by Potevio, Influence
of Cell Breathing Effect to TD Network Planning by Fiberhome.
Experts from Datang Mobile and TD Tech suggested the TD-SCDMA
network planning and optimization be conducted phase by phase.
In addition, Datang Mobile also introduced the HSDPA development
roadmap in the coming year.
The other part of the presentations addressed mainly TD-SCDMA
network planning and optimization tools. Including Comba¡¯s Application
of TD-SCDMA Sender and Receiver in Network Planning and Optimization,
TD-SCDMA Sweep Receiver in Network Planning and Indoor Coverage
by Shanghai Seahigh, Bynear¡¯s NeST Network Planning Tools and
DAP Network Optimization Software in TD-SCDMA Trial Network
by Bynear Shanghai and Commit¡¯s Testing Handset ¨C To Accelerate
TD-SCDMA Industrialization.
TD-SCDMA network planning and optimization is a long-term task.
Some technological details need further verification in the
follow up TD-SCDMA network trials. The TD-SCDMA Forum will closely
monitor the progress in trials of TD-SCDMA large scale network
deployment. In addition, we will continue to collect comments
and suggestions from telecom operators, industry experts as
well as our member organizations. We will organize other seminars
and workshops on TD-SCDMA network planning and optimizations.
