4 General assumptions
The present document discusses system scenarios for E-UTRA operation primarily with respect to the radio
transmission and reception including the RRM aspects. To develop the E-UTRA standard, all the relevant scenarios
need to be considered for the various aspects of operation and the most critical cases identified. The process may then
be iterated to arrive at final parameters that meet both service and implementation requirements.
The E-UTRA system is intended to be operated in the same frequency bands specified for UTRA. In order to limit the
number of frequency bands to be simulated in the various simulation scenarios a mapping of frequency bands to two
simulation frequencies (900 MHz and 2000 MHz) is applied. When using the macro cell propagation model of
TR25.942 [3], the frequency contributes to the path loss by 21*log10(f). The maximum path loss difference between the
lowest/highest frequencies per E-UTRA frequency band and corresponding simulation frequency is shown in tables 4.1
and 4.2.

It can be observed that the difference of path loss between simulation frequency and operating frequency (except bands
7, 11 and 38) is in the worst case less than 0.8 dB for the downlink and less the 1,5 dB for the uplink. Hence the
mapping of operating frequency to simulation frequency will provide valid results.
The validity of simulations performed at 2 GHz for the 2.6 GHz bands 7 and 38 was already analyzed in TR 25.810.
Considering the expected higher antenna gain in the 2.6 GHz band the difference in path loss is in the order of 1 dB
what is comparable to the other frequency bands.

4.4.1.1 Macro cellular deployment
Base stations with 3 sectors per site are placed on a hexagonal grid with distance of 3*R, where R is the cell radius (see
Figure 4.2), with wrap around. The number of sites shall be equal to or higher than 19. [2] [4].

For uncoordinated network simulations, identical cell layouts for each network shall be applied, with worst case shift
between sites. Second network"s sites are located at the first network"s cell edge, as shown in Figure 4.3 [2].

4.5 Propagation conditions and channel models
This chapter contains the definition of channel models, propagation conditions for various environments e.g. urban,
suburban etc.
For each environment a propagation model is used to evaluate the propagation pathloss due to the distance. Propagation
models are adopted from [3] and [4] and presented in the following clauses.
4.5.1 Received signal
An important parameter to be defined is the minimum coupling loss (MCL). MCL is the parameter describing the
minimum loss in signal between BS and UE or UE and UE in the worst case and is defined as the minimum distance
loss including antenna gains measured between antenna connectors. MCL values are adopted from [3] and [7] as
follows:
Table 4.4: Minimum Coupling Losses
Environment Scenario MCL
Macro cell Urban Area 70 dB
BS ↔ UE
Macro cell Rural Area BS ↔ UE 80 dB

With the above definition, the received power in downlink and uplink can be expressed as [3]:
RX_PWR = TX_PWR – Max (pathloss – G_TX – G_RX, MCL)
where:
RX_PWR is the received signal power
TX_PWR is the transmitted signal power
G_TX is the transmitter antenna gain
G_RX is the receiver antenna gain
4.5.2 Macro cell propagation model – Urban Area
Macro cell propagation model for urban area is applicable for scenarios in urban and suburban areas outside the high
rise core where the buildings are of nearly uniform height [3]:
−3
L = 40⋅(1− 4⋅10 ⋅Dhb)⋅log (R) −18⋅log (Dhb) + 21⋅log (f) + 80dB
10 10 10
where:
R is the base station-UE separation in kilometres
f is the carrier frequency in MHz
Dhb is the base station antenna height in metres, measured from the average rooftop level
Considering a carrier frequency of 900MHz and a base station antenna height of 15 metres above average rooftop level,
the propagation model is given by the following formula [4]:
L =120,9 + 37,6log (R)
where:
R is the base station-UE separation in kilometres
Considering a carrier frequency of 2000MHz and a base station antenna height of 15 metres above average rooftop
level, the propagation model is given by the following formula:

L =128,1+ 37,6log (R)
where:
R is the base station-UE separation in kilometres
After L is calculated, log-normally distributed shadowing (LogF) with standard deviation of 10dB should be added [2],
[3]. A Shadowing correlation factor of 0.5 for the shadowing between sites (regardless aggressing or victim system) and
of 1 between sectors of the same site shall be used The pathloss is given by the following formula:
Pathloss_macro = L + LogF
NOTE 1: L shall in no circumstances be less than free space loss. This model is valid for NLOS case only and
describes worse case propagation
NOTE 2: The pathloss model is valid for a range of Dhb from 0 to 50 metres.
NOTE 3: This model is designed mainly for distance from few hundred meters to kilometres. This model is not
very accurate for short distances.
NOTE 4: The mean building height is equal to the sum of mobile antenna height (1,5m) and Δh =10,5m [5].

NOTE 5: Some downlink simulations in this TR were performed without shadowing correlation, however it was
reported this has a negligible impact on the simulation results.
4.5.3 Macro cell propagation model – Rural Area
For rural area, the Hata model was used in the work item UMTS900[2], this model can be reused:
L (R)= 69.55 +26.16log (f)–13.82log (Hb)+[44.9-6.55log (Hb)]log(R) – 4.78(Log (f)) +18.33 log (f) -40.94

where:
R is the base station-UE separation in kilometres
f is the carrier frequency in MHz
Hb is the base station antenna height above ground in metres
Considering a carrier frequency of 900MHz and a base station antenna height of 45 meters above ground the
propagation model is given by the following formula:
L = 95,5 + 34,1log (R)
where:
R is the base station-UE separation in kilometres
After L is calculated, log-normally distributed shadowing (LogF) with standard deviation of 10dB should be added [2],
[3]. A Shadowing correlation factor of 0.5 for the shadowing between sites (regardless aggressing or victim system) and
of 1 between sectors of the same site shall be used. The pathloss is given by the following formula:
Pathloss_macro = L + LogF
NOTE 1: L shall in no circumstances be less than free space loss. This model is valid for NLOS case only and

5 Methodology description
This chapter describes the methods used for various study items e.g. deterministic analysis for BS-BS interference,
Monte-Carlo simulations and dynamic type of simulations for RRM.
5.1 Methodology for co-existence simulations
Simulations to investigate the mutual interference impact of E-UTRA, UTRA and GERAN are based on snapshots were
users are randomly placed in a predefined deployment scenario (Monte-Carlo approach). Assumptions or E-UTRA in
this chapter are based on the physical layer (OFDMA DL and SC-FDMA UL) as described in the E-UTRA study item
report [4]. It must be noted that actual E-UTRA physical layer specification of frequency resource block is different
regarding number of sub-carriers per resource block (12 instead of 25 specified in [4]) and regarding the size of a
resource block (180 kHz instead of 375 kHz in [4]). However, this has no impact on the results and conclusions of the
present document.
5.1.1 Simulation assumptions for co-existence simulations
5.1.1.1 Scheduler
For initial E-UTRA coexistence simulations Round Robin scheduler shall be used.
ETSI
3GPP TR 36.942 version 9.3.0 Release 9 19 ETSI TR 136 942 V9.3.0 (2012-07)
5.1.1.2 Simulated services
When using Round Robin scheduler, full buffer traffic shall be simulated. For E-UTRA downlink, one frequency
resource block for one user shall be used. The E-UTRA system shall be maximum loaded, i.e. 24 frequency resource
blocks in 10 MHz bandwidth and 12 frequency resource blocks in 5 MHz bandwidth respectively. For E-UTRA uplink,
the number of allocated frequency resource blocks for one user is 4 for 5 MHz bandwidth and 8 for 10 MHz bandwidth
respectively.
For the 5 MHz TDD UTRA victim using 3.84 Mcps TDD, Enhanced Uplink providing data service shall be used where
1 UE shall occupy 1 Resource Unit (code x timeslot). Here the number of UE per timeslot is set to 3 UEs/timeslot.
Other services, e.g. constant bit rate services are FFS.
