2 Technical Description
The propagation performance of the 900 MHz or 850 MHz band is better than that of the 2100 MHz bandbut spectrum resources of the 900 MHz or 850 MHz band are much less than those of the 2100 MHz
band. Therefore, there is a conflict between the increasing demand for GSM services and the limitedspectrum resources. Some telecom operators are unable to reserve 5 MHz bandwidth from the 850 MHzor 900 MHz band for UMTS services. However, to maintain their competitiveness, they still want todeploy new UMTS services on the 850 MHz or 900 MHz band. They use a non-standard bandwidth, forexample, 3.8 MHz, for UMTS carriers, and 2.0 MHz frequency spacing between GSM and UMTScarriers. This method may deteriorate network KPIs, but for these operators, the competitive advantagesbrought by non-standard bandwidth and small frequency spacing can make up for the loss of KPIs.
Figure 2-1 shows the application of 3.8 MHz bandwidth for the UMTS network and 2.0 MHz frequencyspacing shared by GSM and UMTS networks.
Figure 2-1 Network application of the feature
With this new feature, the GSM network interferes with the uplink of the UMTS network. To mitigate anyadverse effect of neighboring GSM frequencies on UMTS frequencies, the Huawei NodeB provides a 3.8MHz bandwidth filter.
This feature improves frequency utilization. Instead of providing 5 MHz bandwidth dedicated to UMTSservices, this feature allocates 3.8 MHz bandwidth to UMTS and reserves 1.2 MHz bandwidth for GSM.This helps expand GSM network capacity.

3 Engineering Guidelines
Typical Application Scenario
This feature is applicable to low-traffic rural areas where a frequency band of 6 MHz to 8 MHz isrecommended and the GSM and UMTS networks are deployed by the same operator using Huaweiequipment.
Recommended Configurations
After this feature is activated, it is recommended that in a GSM network small-spaced frequencies beused for non-BCCH carriers, and PDCHs and SDCCHs be configured on non-interfered frequencies.
This feature depends on the following features:
zDiscontinuous Transmission (DTX)-Downlink
zHUAWEI III Power Control Algorithm
zActive Power Control
To improve HSUPA user experience, it is recommended that Anti-Interference Scheduling for HSUPA beenabled.
Impacts on Network Performance
This feature decreases the frequency spacing between GSM and UMTS carriers to 2.0 MHz, andtherefore it may impose the following impacts on network performance:
zThe throughput of UMTS HSPA services decreases because the GSM and UMTS networks interferewith each other and the UMTS network uses a 3.8 MHz bandwidth filter.
z
The throughput of GSM EDGE services decrease because UMTS interferes with GSM.zThe mean opinion scores (MOSs) of GSM and UMTS decrease.
zKPIs of the GSM network may deteriorate because 3.8 MHz GSM bandwidth is allocated to UMTS.
zThis feature is not applicable to HSPA+ services.
