hi, rf planners in out network are using same BSIC for co-sited cell. according to my previous experience, we never used same bsic for cosited cell or with any other neighbor. can some one tell me that for neighbors, do we have to keep both BCCH/BSIC different, or can anyone among the two be same?
bcch must be different, always, by at least 2 channels separation (ch 01 and ch 03, for instance)
bsic can be equal (there is only 8 possible bsic values, and you will mostly have more than 8 neighbors for a give cell ๐ ), it will not lead to any problem as long as bcch is different
easier to understand that… two parameters to differentiate who r u… bcch and bsic. when bsic is the same… bcch must not be the same to avoid interference..perhaps.
in metropolitan area, u may have alot of interference come from nowhere.. so that bsic will difference them.. but u sacrifice quality here.
Yes, I think i’ve heard about it :))
Sorry about this, actually i think i made the assumption that one operator gets only 1 NCC. Therefore, only 8 BSIC available. (1 NCC / 0…7 BCC)
This assumption is wrong, because one operator can actually have more than 1 NCC.
