    This document discusses frequency planning for GSM-R networks to reduce cell towers and optimize coverage. It introduces GSM-R and its uses for train control and monitoring. Reducing overlapping coverage regions between towers can improve call quality while reducing towers lowers maintenance costs and simplifies the network. The vendor normally recommends more towers but fewer are needed by optimizing frequencies to leverage GSM-R's ability to travel farther on lower bands. Questions are provided to evaluate a country's existing GSM-R network.

    GSM-R Introduction
    GSM-R is based on the cellular GSM technology, with further enhancements specific to the requirements of railroad
    operation, such as train control.
    In general, GSM-R uses characteristics that are identical or similar to those of the GSM system, such as frequency spacing
    (200 kHz), modulation (Gaussian minimum shift keying, GMSK) and access type (TDMA, TDD/FDD). The frequencies of
    GSM-R are extended below the frequencies of the GSM-900 standard.
    The general packet radio services (GPRS) for data communications up to 14.4 kbit/s is supported by GSM-R for data
    transport in the same way as with the regular GSM system. It serves customized applications such as automatic train control
    (ATC) and electronic train control system (ETCS) for remote or automatic control of train movements and monitoring as well
    as functional addressing (calling a user by an assigned function rather than by a fixed number) and location-dependent
    addressing.
    Additional railway-specific characteristics include advanced speech call items (ASCI) such as voice group call service
    (VGCS) and voice broadcast service (VBS) to communicate to a group of handsets simultaneously. GSM-R mobile phones
    are similar to cellular mobile phones but are more robust. They also offer extended functionality and a different user interface
    to utilize the additional applications.

    DATAX Introduction 7
    GSM-R Cell Tower reduction 2/3 [Nominal Planning]

    GSM-R frequency can travel far


    because its on low band and can
    cover big radius.
    The equipment vendor will normally
    will trick you to use more cell tower
    because of their revenue

    GSM-R Cell Tower reduction 3/3 [Nominal Planning]

    Value Proposition to KTMB

    1.) Reduction in the OPEX cost (electric, rental and etc)


    2.) Reduction in the cell tower maintenance (manpower)
    3.) Simply network from complex network.
    4.) GSM-R Vendor Annual SUS maintenance cost.

    Cell Coverage Optimization 1/2 [Performance Tuning]

    The overlap region need to reduced to avoid;


    - Low Call quality
    - Delay transmit and receive
    - Poor information received
    - Accident and other unforeseen communication error.
