Cell ID definition for 3G cells
Dear All,
Is there any specific procedure to allocate Cell Id on 3G cells?
Please support
Thanks

In our Network we use policy like: first 4 digits this is site ID, last (5th digit) for cell ID. From 1 to 3 - first carrier, 4-6 second.
For example: Site Id 1000 has 3 sectors with 2 carriers, it means we have 6 cells 10001, 10002, 10003,10004,10005, 10006.
As i know Huawei and ZTE (may be another vendors too) has limitation in 65553 (or stuff like that).

Re: Cell ID definition for 3G cells
For the networks I've worked on, we've used
<WBTS id><WCEL LCR id>
e.g. for WBTS-5598 sector-3 the CI/SAC would be 55983

Re: Cell ID definition for 3G cells
Dears,
This means that you have allocate a completely new range for the 3G sites. Is that correct? If not, how do you manage the cell Id's for the co-located 2G, 3G cells.
We have started the deployment 3G, in the network I am working on and planning to use the following to identify 2G and 3G cells:
a) 2G
Ci= 10011 for example
b) 3G
CI = xx+ 2G CI where xx represents a 3G identifier per region.
We will then have for that co-located cell:
CI= 5510011 where 55 represent a specific region.
What do you think about the proposed figure?
Thanks to all for the feedback.

I think your policy is useful, but for me looks strange. I will try to explain why:
At first - Huawei and ZTE (vendors, which we use on our Network) doesn't allow to configure cell more than 65553. It means, 5510011 impossible to create on RNC. I don't know, which equipment to you use, but i think every vendor has a limitation.
Second - for which purposes do you need this definition? I mean for example if you will have the same Cell ID for 2G and 3G how is it possible to mix them?
In Atoll (planning tool, which i use) we have different projects. In
performance tool, i know which KPI's and for which Network (2G or 3G) reports i use.
In addition for different technologies you use different LAC's. And it is easiest way, how to divide cell 2G\3G.
I think, it is better to use experience of another operators and vendors. In addition you can ask advice from vendor, which supply equipment for you.

Re: Cell ID definition for 3G cells
For cell id in our network we are using first 4 digits as Site identifier and the last digit as cell identifier, starting from 1 to 9. Suppose a site CAN001 has id is 2050, then its cell ids are named as:
CAN001A/B/C : 20501, 20502, 20503
CAN001X/Y/Z : 20504, 20505, 20506
and for co-located 3G cells: 20507, 20508, 20509
Thanks
