Contribution to wireless access optimization and dynamic enhancement of WCDMA networksGarcía Lozano, Mario 12 January 2009 (has links)
El despliegue de las redes celulares 3G/3.5G plantea un reto a las estrategias de planificación y optimización radio tradicionales. A diferencia de los sistemas 2G FDMA, cobertura y capacidad están estrechamente ligadas y deben ser tratadas conjuntamente. Además, están presentes nuevos y más sofisticados algoritmos de gestión de recursos radio (RRM) así como una concepción de red más flexible, con múltiples parámetros interdependientes con ajuste no trivial. Un nuevo paradigma de planificación radio aparece y la red se optimiza mediante complejos algoritmos ya sea estática o dinámicamente.
Esta tesis doctoral supone una contribución a la optimización de las redes de acceso radio en sistemas 3G/3.5G. Varios aspectos susceptibles de mejorar la planificación han sido investigados y nuevos métodos, directrices y estrategias de análisis se proponen con el objetivo final de mejorar el rendimiento del sistema. También se han diseñado y estudiado mecanismos dinámicos que se encuentran en la frontera difusa entre la planificación y la RRM.
La 1ª parte de la tesis trata la configuración de las estaciones base. El impacto de las potencias piloto, inclinación de antenas y sus interacciones con parámetros de soft handover son investigados. Se hace énfasis en los efectos más allá de los conocidos y se derivan reglas para su ajuste. A partir de los resultados, se propone una estrategia para su Planificación Automática. El objetivo final es encontrar una combinación tal que el tráfico sea ecualizado de manera efectiva entre las celdas e incrementar la capacidad del sistema. La técnica se basa en la metaheurística Simulated Annealing y es capaz de mejorar el rendimiento global de la red, representado por una función de coste con información sobre el factor de carga y sujeta a otras condiciones de calidad. La importancia de los requisitos que impone el UL, a menudo olvidados en propuestas anteriores, también se ha incluido y estudiado analíticamente.
La reconfiguración de las base no es el único medio para modificar la cobertura de las celdas, en este sentido el estudio se amplía mediante la introducción de repetidores, que permiten la generación de celdas distribuidas. En este caso la planificación es más compleja debido a la aparición de nuevos efectos que no se daban en las redes clásicas 2G FDMA. La mayoría de los trabajos que tratan con repetidores tienden a ignorarlos. Por ello, la investigación se centró en el modelado y cuantificación de su impacto así como en derivar directrices de planificación. Se ha obtenido analíticamente la nueva expresión que define la región de admisión y se concluye que existe un compromiso entre capacidad y cobertura, analizado tanto teóricamente como mediante simulación. Ciertos parámetros presentan un impacto importante y se han estudiado para obtener reglas prácticas de ajuste. La variación de cobertura en la celda padre antes y después de la instalación de repetidores también ha sido modelada. Posteriormente, se propone una nueva metodología para analizar estos despliegues, teniendo en cuenta de manera realista los retardos de propagación y el comportamiento del receptor Rake. Esto permite un análisis superior con respecto a enfoques tradicionales que, en determinadas circunstancias, tienden a ofrecer cifras erróneamente optimistas.
La última parte de la tesis da un paso más en la Planificación Automática y se proponen y validan 2 mecanismos dinámicos que permiten a la red reaccionar y auto-optimizarse frente a cambios en las condiciones de tráfico. El primero, basado en conclusiones anteriores, persigue detectar si uno de los enlaces presenta problemas de capacidad y, en caso afirmativo, favorecerlo para retrasar los mecanismos de control de congestión. Por último, se introduce la tecnología HSDPA y, después de analizar los recursos que deben ser compartidos con versiones previas de UMTS, se concluye que es deseable un sistema para la gestión dinámica del árbol de códigos OVSF. Se propone y valida un mecanismo que maximiza el throughput de las celdas, garantizando al mismo tiempo criterios de bloqueo y dropping. / The deployment of 3G/3.5G cellular networks challenges traditional radio planning and optimization strategies. Unlike FDMA based 2G systems, coverage and capacity are tightly coupled and must be treated as a whole. Besides new and more sophisticated Radio Resource Management (RRM) algorithms are present along with a more flexible network with many interdependent parameters, whose joint adjustment is not trivial. A new radio planning paradigm appears in which the radio network is optimized by means of complex algorithms both in a static and a dynamic way.
This Ph.D. thesis provides a contribution to the radio network optimization of 3G/3.5G networks. Several issues to improve radio network planning have been investigated and new methods, guidelines and strategies of analysis have been proposed with the final objective of enhancing the wireless access network performance. Dynamic mechanisms being in the blurred line between radio planning and RRM are also devised and studied.
The first part of this dissertation deals with the configuration of Base Stations (BSs) the impact of pilot powers, downtilt of antennas and interactions thereof with Soft Handover parameters are investigated. Effects beyond well-known facts are outlined and new planning guidelines are derived. Given the results, an Automatic Planning strategy is devised to automate the configuration of these parameters and to find a combination such as traffic is effectively equalized among cells and a higher capacity is achieved. The technique is based on the Simulated Annealing metaheuristic and is able to improve the global performance of the network, represented by a cost function containing information on the load factor and subject to other quality constraints. The importance of uplink (UL) requirements, usually missed by existent proposals, has been also included and analytically addressed.
Reconfiguring BSs is not the only means to modify cell shapes, in this sense the study is extended by introducing repeaters, which allow generating distributed coverage areas. This is the context of the second part of the thesis. New effects not present in FDMA based 2G systems imply that the radio planning process becomes more complex. Most existent papers dealing with repeaters in WCDMA networks, ignore these effects or claim their irrelevance. That is why the research work was focused in modeling them, quantifying their impact and deriving radio planning guidelines to enhance the final performance of the radio access network. The new expression for the feasibility condition has been analytically obtained showing a tradeoff between capacity and coverage. This has been analyzed both theoretically and by means of simulations and the adjustment of several parameters which have a significant impact is discussed to derive practical rules of thumb. Variation on the coverage of the donor cell before and after installing repeaters is also modeled. Subsequently, it is proposed a new methodology to analyze WCDMA networks with repeaters deployment, considering realistically path delays and the behavior of Rake receivers. This allows an enhanced analysis with respect to traditional approaches which, under certain circumstances, tend to provide erroneously optimistic metrics.
The final part of the dissertation goes one step further in Automatic Planning and two dynamic mechanisms are proposed and validated so that the network can react and self tune in front of changes in traffic conditions. The first one follows some previous conclusions and aims at detecting if one of the links has capacity problems and if so, favors it to delay congestion control actions. Finally, HSDPA technology is introduced and, after analyzing the resources to be shared with a previous release of UMTS, it is concluded that a system that dynamically manages the OVSF code tree is desired. A mechanism aiming at maximizing cell throughput while guaranteeing blocking and dropping criteria is proposed and validated.
