GSM Frequency Planning with Band Segregation for the Broadcast Channel Carriers

[zeuscane]

Abstract:
In this paper we investigate the performance of fixed frequency planning of the GSM system considering
dedicated bands for TCH and BCCH carriers respectively (the BCCH carriers are the ones which host the
BCCH channel). This analysis aims at assessing whether this frequency planning strategy (which in the
following will be indicated as ‘frequency planning with band segregation’) brings to better system performance
with respect to the usual frequency planning strategies, i.e. common band for TCH and BCCH carriers. A
number of representative deployment scenarios are investigated.
