1. For PMCL and Warid 2G coverage, warid 2G
site will shut down and dismantle, the 2G
Billing Billing
traffic will go through PMCL 2G network.
2. PMCL 2G BTS need to support one frequency
band to cover both PMCL and Warid
3. The PMCL BSC need integrate with Warid
CS/PS network for transferring the 2G traffic to

EMS in RAN Sharing

 Corba for FM, FTP for CM and PM.

 To ensure system security, disable
unconcerned EMS/NMS port.
 Information from EMS to NMS can
be differentiated by cell ID or PLMN.
 Generally, guest operator can have
query rights, no creation,
modification or deletion rights.
Host Operator Guest Operator  SFTP for NBI, read-only authority,
NMS can only get data from EMS,
NMS can not set data in EMS.

Qcell Product Highlights – One Time for Multi-band Multi-mode
Deployment, MIMO Ready
DAS Solution
RRU+DAS System:
To support more bands: New band RRU should be added as signal source. The
related combiners and antennas should be replaced.
To support MIMO: A new set of DAS system should be added for another channel
of MIMO, which brings channel unbalance and causes poor user experience, and is
hard for capacity expansion.

Jin Zhou Hotel, UL Dual-mode Coverage
 This Jinzhou Hotel located in Quanzhou ,fujian, and it is a very typical indoor scenario, the double marble wall with sound-proof
Scenario material, which cause poor experience of 3G/4G service.
 The lobby is very open with 500 m2, floor 2-7 are KTV rooms, both 3G and 4G signals are very weak, which cause poor experience

to subscribers.

11 sets of Qcell are deployed to cover the whole hotel, UMTS and LTE

share the same equipments. Solution

 pBridge are deployed in the weak electrical wells in floor 3/6
 pBridge1 in floor 3 connects to BBU with fiber, while pBridge2 in floor
6 connects to pBridge1 with fiber.
 Synchronization realized by Synchronous Ethernet solution.

Putting 5G into Practice - Massive MIMO
 In Nov. 2014, ZTE successfully completed pre-commercial field testing of the world’s first pre5G Massive MIMO base
stations in partnership with China Mobile.
 In Jan. 2015, ZTE accomplished first multi user multi stream pre-commercial field test with pre5G Massive MIMO
base station. The peak throughput reached 5 times more than that of traditional base stations during the test.
