Introduction to Link Budget Link Budget’s Purpose A link budget is established during RF planning and design activities. The link budget describes the path loss and/or power budget needed to ensure reliable communication and to determine appropriate coverage build-out levels. GSM link budget considerations should include: •
Coverage types,
•
Classes of mobile and base stations, and
•
Type of physical installations.
For duplex (2-way) systems, the mobile-base path is called the reverse link (or uplink) path and base-mobile is called the forward link (or downlink) path. The link budget is the maximum loss allowed in the respective path. For example, the reverse link budget represents the maximum loss allowed in the mobile to base path. More often than not, the reverse link is the limiting case. The figure shows the typical link budget elements of a GSM network. Values for each are defined separately. Note the arrows represent the RF signal path from either the base station to the mobile (forward link) or the mobile to the base station (reverse link).

Who Determines the Link Budget? At Lucent, system engineering usually handles the specific parameter issues for-each customer. This is because each customer may have a specific value to use for different equipment that affects a link budget. For example, instead of having a balanced link budget, some operators prefer to have the downlink a few dB stronger than the uplink to prevent the mobile from going out of coverage, thereby causing constant searches that consume more battery power. However, the standard link budget recommended in this course is established on a balanced scenario only. After a link budget is established and finalized, the desired coverage levels are specified. The link budget dictates what coverage level is needed for a particular system. Most existing systems have already determined a transparent link budget, and designing a new cell site is simply a matter of providing the correct height/EIRP/antenna to fill in a coverage gap. [ectiveisotropic radiated power (EIRP) represents the gain of a transmitting ~nain a given direction multiplied by the power the antenna accepts ~omthe connected transmitter. In simple terms, the EIRP value is the sum of ie antenna power input and the antenna gain expressed to an isotropic eference. EIRP = antenna input power (dBm) + antenna gain (dB1) The gain of a dipole may be expressed with respect to an isotropic reference as 2.15 dB~. Thus, EIRP is equal to ERP + 2.15 dB. Although systems engineering calculates the link budget, it is important to review the theory behind the calculation to understand how the link budget works. The definitions on the next page will help you become familiar with the basic link budget terminology.
Definitions Term ACE Loss
Definition In general, Antenna Coupling Equipment (ACE) includes all diplexers, combiners and connectors. The value of ACE loss is dependent on the ACE configuration. There are various ACE configurations depending on the number of TRXs and combiners used. For more information on this topic, locate the GSM Antenna CounhinQ E~ui~ment module

Antenna Diversity Gain Body Loss
BTS Antenna Gain Combiner Loss Downlink Power Budget Eb/NO
Fade Margin Fading Feeder Loss
available on the Wireless University web site. Antenna diversity gain is used to reduce the effects of multipath fading on the uplink path. Two common techniques include space and polarization diversity. When a hand-held phone is held up to the user’s head, antenna pattern distortion and body absorption takes places. This is referred to as body loss. A value of 2 dB is typically given to this loss. The value of antenna gain can vary according to the manufacturer and is specified as dBd or dBi depending on the reference. Insertion loss at the 3:1, 4:1, and 9:1 combiners on the transmit path. The downlink power budget is determined after the maximum path loss is calculated (i.e. after the uplink power budget). The BTS transmit power is determined using the downlink power budget. A digital metric (bit energy/noise density) comparable to signal to noise ratio in the analog world (interference). The impact of Rayleigh fading is taken into account by implementing a multipath fade margin of 8 to 12.5 dB nominally EL/NO. Extra signal power reserved to overcome potential fading caused by diffraction, shadowing, multi-pathing, and so forth. Variations in the average field strength of a signal due to the motion of the user and the addition of multipath waves of various path lengths. Feeder loss is dependent on the feeder type and length of the BTS to the antenna. For example: ANDREW coaxial cable loss (LDF5-50A, 7/8 A*tu~rnu~fi,~u.i (dR/i OOm’~ Freauencv ~ ~ u 1000MHz 4 2000 MHz 7 The gain of an antenna is the maximum signal intensity as referenced to a standard antenna (like a dipole). The gain of an antenna is related to the 3 dB beamwidths of the antenna. In effect, the narrower the beamwidths, the higher the antenna gain is. How fast bits are transmitted for the technology. A link budget describes the path loss and/or power budget needed to ensure reliable communication. A receiver amplifier that does not add any appreciable noise to the signal than is already there. The maximum path loss is normally determined by the relatively fixed values applied in the uplink power budget. These depend on the equipment used and the specified performance levels (for example, frame error rate, signal to noise ratio, etc.). Power from the base station/traffic channel. .

The loss in power experienced by a signal as it travels between the transmitting and receiving antennas separated by a distance d (also called space loss). The loss associated with the penetration of a signal from an outdoor environment to an indoor environment. Actual penetration losses for any given market depend on numerous factors, including building material, number of walls that neet to be penetrated, frequency, and so forth. However, typical values used are 20 dB or more for urban, 10 to 20 dB for suburban, 8 to 15 dB for rural, and 6 to 8 dB
for in-vehicle loss. White noise; frequency independent noise. Receiver sensitivity is the weakest signal strength that the receiver can distinguish from noise. Transmission Line The transmission line connects the signal from the transmitter to the receiver. The transmission line can be Up and Downlink cable or an electrical medium. The uplink and downlink radio link power budgets need to Balance be in balance to avoid coverage differences in the up and downlink directions. Uplink Power Budget The uplink power budget is calculated to determine the maximum path loss. This is the end of Introduction to Link Budget. Select the next topic on the left to continue.
Receiver Noise Density Receiver Sensitivity
Receiver Sensitivity and Noise Contributions Receiver Sensitivity When determining link budgets, consider the impact of receiver sensitivity into the budget. Receiver sensitivity can be defined as the weakest signal strength that the receiver can distinguish from noise. Impacts to the theoretical noise threshold include the system bandwidth, temperature, receiver or amplifier performance. The following sections describe the contributions to noise-and-the--theoretical minimum receiver sensitivity of GSM.
Noise Contributions For a Radio Receiver What are the noise contributions for a radio receiver? Noise is any unwanted signal that comes from many external or equipment sources. There are two types of noise: thermal and amplifier noise. Noise contributions The diagram below shows the thermal noise at the input of the receiver and the amplifier noise of the receiver it serves.

How to calculate thermal noise power Thermal movements of electrons cause thermal noise. Every conductor or resistance shows thermal noise. Thermal noise is produced in the antenna cables and depends on the receiver bandwidth B (in HZ) and the absolute temperature T (Kelvin). The absolute temperature T = t (0C) + 273 [K].The (input) thermal noise power (N,) can be expressed as: N~=k~T~B, where k is the Boltzmann constant equal to 1.38~10 23J/K.
Thermal noise example At a temperature of 170C and a receiver bandwidth of 200 kHz, the thermal noise is calculated as follows: N
1=k~T~B N1=1.38~10 23 (17 + 273)~200~10 3 16 N=8.10 Watt = -151 dBW = -121 dBm
What is amplifier noise? When radio signals are received on the antenna, they are amplified by the front-end RF amplifier in the receiver. After amplification (G), the signal-to-noise ratio will be lower (or worse) than at the antenna due to the amplifier-added noise. Amplifier noise is expressed as Nampi. Noise figure The noise figure F is the ratio between: •
the input signal-to-noise ratio generated by thermal noise only
•
the total output signal-to-noise ratio generated by the thermal noise and the amplifier noise

For a GSM MS receiver the noise figure may vary from 8 to 12 dB depending on the mobile class and band (GSM900 or CDS1 800).

The typical value used is 8 dB which includes a 2 dB implementation margin for the GSM system at the minimum service quality without interference.

ETSI Specifications and Transmitter Power Classes ETSI Specifications What are the ETSI specifications? The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to determine and produce telecommunications standards or specifications.
ETSI produces voluntary standards, but some of these may go on to be the technical base for European directives or regulations. You will use the ETSI specifications to identify the minimum transceiver performance (i.e. receiver sensitivity and transmit power) for mobile stations and base stations. Use the tables in the next sections to identify and compare the ETSI specifications and Lucent implementation for both GSM-900 and GSM-1800/GSM1900.

Effect of Moving Mobiles on Performance There are varieties of mobiles with varying performance in any network. The link budget must design the network to cover the worst case sensitivity as defined by the OSM specifications. With the new generation of mobile evaluation, -102 dBm are used for both GSM900 and 1800. A mobile receiver that moves at 50km/h, averages the fading but a static mobile will be under more severe fading influences. Therefore, if the customer queries on the quality margin for a static mobile receiver, it is necessary to consider for the static condition of the mobile receiver by applying an additional quality margin (approximately 4-5 dB) into the link budgets.

Calculating a Link Budget Maximum Path Loss Performing power budget cakulations As stated previously, there are two main reasons for performing power budget calculations. They are to:
6. achieve a maximum cell area covered using selected equipment, and 7. determine the required transmit power at the BTS side. Radio link power budget The radio link power budget is the total transmitted power(induding yatns~ subtracted by the losses and receiver sensitivity. This figure shows a graphical representation of the radio link power budget.
How to Calculate the Maximum Path Loss The uplink power budget is used to determine the maximum path loss. This calculation is performed first because: •
The MS transmit power is fixed.
•
The BTS receiver sensitivity is fixed.
•
The MS has less transmit power than the BTS.

Maximum Cell Range Example of how to calculate maximum cell range After determining the power link budgets, you will determine the maximum cell range. For this example, use a maximum path loss (MAPL) of 140 dB from the previous example. Assume the following equipment parameters: -
An MS antenna height of 1.5 m, and BTS antenna height of 30 m in a low density urban area.
Now print the attached tables in Arrendix A and use them to calculate the maximum cell range. Continue to the next page to check the correct answer for this example. If you need additional information, try the Help links below and use your browser’s Back button to return to this page.
HeI~ 1 HeIr 2 Help 1: The maximum path loss (MAPL) is calculated by knowing the values of each element in link budget. These will depend on the equipment used and the signal strength required. The MAPL is

Receiver’s Field Strength How to calculate the receiver~s field strength Receiver sensitivity requirements are given in terms of power levels at the receiver input. However, receiver equipment with an integral antenna (assuming a 0 dBi antenna) needs requirements expressed in terms of field strength (E). Field strength for GSM~9OO The relation between field strength (E) and power level (P) according to GSM rec.05.05 for GSM-900 is: E(dBpVIm) = P(dBm) +1 36.5 [50 ~2,925 MHzJ Field strength for GSM-i 800 The relation between field strength (E) and power level (P) according to GSM rec.05.05 for GSM-1 800 is: E(dBpVIm) = P(dBm) +1 42.3 [50 ~2,1795 MHz]
