• Regular BCCH-TRX
• super-reuse TRX
• different frequence reuse patterns
• Super reuse frequencies form the underlay network where frequencies are reused very intensively to produce the extended capacity
• interference limited dominance areas in super-reuse TRXs
• selection between regular/super-reuse TRXs based on C/I ratio
• call setup to regular TRX
• inter cell HO always to regular TRX

Using Intelligent Underlay-Overlay concept with microcells
• Microcells to hot spots (microcells using only super frequencies are called child cells)
• Calls are established only in the regular TRXs
• Microcell interference is estimated by using closest regular TRX as a reference (compare C/I based handover candidate evaluation)

In order to avoid interference caused by tight frequency reuse, the super reuse frequencies are intended to serve MS which are close to the BTS.

Regular frequency is used when the mobile is further away from the BTS where RxLev would be low and co channel interference high.

• In regular TRX the C/I ratio is evaluated to all super-reuse groups of own cell and to all groups of neighbour child cells
• In super-reuse TRX the C/I ratio is evaluated only to own super-reuse frequency group. If enableInterFrtIuoHo is used, then also C/I ratio for all super-reuse groups of own cell and to all groups of neighbour child cells is evaluated.
• Assumption: TRX belonging to the same FRT experience same C/I

• Directly measured interference level is used when the interfering cell is a regular cell which is adjacent to the serving cell and has the same set of super-reuse frequencies as the serving cell. Also the location of the interfering cell is close enough to cause interference. In this situation, the downlink RXLEV of the interfering cell corresponds directly to the interference level on the super-reuse TRX caused by the interfering cell.

• Underlay Overlay Assignment (TCH assignment to super TRX)
• Direct Access
• Conventional radio criteria + other reasons than radio criteria (traffic reason
handover, umbrella handover…..)
NOTE: when a call is on a super-reuse TRX, the HO causes Downlink quality,
Downlink interference and Uplink interference are not considered conventional

In order to minimise the number of imperative handovers without degrade of service quality, a handover between the super reused layers (an intra-cell handover) is performed
Other super reuse TRX has to fulfill the C/I requirement

INTELLIGENT UNDERLAY OVERLAY Direct Access to super layer
During the call setup phase a TCH on a super-reuse TRX (on the regular cell or the child) may be assigned for the call when the downlink signal level on the super-reuse TRX is well above the worst expected interference level:
RXLEVEL_DL > DirectAccessLevel(k)
RX_QUAL_UL/DL < Ho_Threshold_Quality_UL/DL
The parameter directAccessLevel (controlled on transceiver basis) is the level that must be exceeded for the direct access to the super-reuse TRX.

INTELLIGENT UNDERLAY OVERLAY Direct Access to super layer
The BSC may allocate a TCH on a super-reuse TRX for an inter-cell handover attempt if the downlink signal level of the super-reuse TRX is good enough and the cause of the handover attempt is:
- Turn around corner
- Fast/slow moving MS
- Better cell (PBGT or Umbrella)

BB Hopping
• Improved radio spectrum efficiency
• Adds the benefits of interference averaging by frequency hopping to the capacity gains of IUO to further boost performance
• Frequency hopping combined with IUO means capacity increase by controlled C/I and decreased reuse pattern
• Applicable for both Radio Frequency and Base Band Hopping
• All the super-reuse TRXs in a cell have to belong to the same IUO frequency group
39 © NOKIA 2000 BSSPARS9 Jun 00
INTELLIGENT FREQUENCY HOPPING
• Intelligent Frequency Hopping is an optional feature
• Both layers of a sector can be set hopping separately by using regular hopping mode and super hopping mode
• In RF hopping both layers, overlay (regular) and underlay (super), shall have their own mobile allocation (MA) attached
• The parameters for this feature can be modified only when the frequency hopping for intelligent underlay overlay and intelligent underlay overlay are both on
