Multi-Sectors Background
Why Multi-Sectors solution is needed?
As smart phone users are boosted rapidly, the higher UU capacity is
required, power and code resource is not enough for high traffic;
The Multi carriers should be used to improve the UU capacity, but
frequency resource is usually limited;
The new sites could be established to improve the UU capacity, but new
sites acquisition is usually difficult;
The Multi-Sectors solution is a suitable way for capacity
expansion.

DC HSUPA

Introduction
DC-HSUPA allows UE transmit uplink data with E-DCH on two adjacent carriers.
DC-HSUPA is able to combine with 16QAM for reaching 23mbps peak rate.
DC-HSUPA need new UE which category is cat8~cat9.
DC-HSUPA will be used for streaming, BE traffic.
Channel
DC-HSUPA need two independent close loop power control on two carrier.
For the downlink, F-DPCH channel must be used, so SRB over HSPA is required.
Regarding E-DCH schedule, DC-HSUPA UE will receive AG/RG schedule on each
carrier.
Also, UE will report Happy Bit and Schedule Information(SI) on each carrier.

DC-HSUPA introduce (Cont.)

DC-HSUPA scheduling
NodeB supports DC-HSUPA jointed scheduling on two carrier;
DC-HSUPA scheduling will consider the uplink load of two carrier, and allocates serving
grant on each carrier for the better efficiency usage of the uplink load;
One DC HSUPA user will be scheduled fair with SC HSUPA users in one carrier;
The remain resource in another carrier could be used by the DC HSUPA user for higher
throughput;
In order to achieve scheduling fairness , DC-HSUPA UE will consider the sum of two
carrier s throughput in scheduling , while SC-HSUPA UE uses throughput on single
carrier.
DC HSUPA Mobility
There are two E-DCH active sets, one active set for one carrier.
Base on primary carrier measurement, RNC add/remove/reconfigure the E-DCH RL in
active sets.
If all the E-DCH RLs in active set support DC HSUPA, the user keeps DC HSUPA in mobility by
soft/softer handover;
If any E-DCH RL in active set doesnt support DC-HSUPA, the user will fall back from DC HSUPA to
SC HSUPA first, and the mobility management will be based on SC-HSUPA.
At the edge of coverage, DC-HSUPA will fall back to SC-HSUPA/DCH for ensuring service.

UE Burst throughput gain (%)


DC-HSUPA UE will be more easier to
get higher throughput than normal
HSUPA UE.
DC-HSUPA will significantly improve UE
uplink throughput by two carriers
resource available.
DC-HSUPA with UL16QAM will get
23Mbps peak rate.
Without UL 16QAM,DC-HSUPA will
provide 11.5Mbps peak rate.
The peak data rate is dependent on RoT
and propagation quality. Based on
simulation, DC HSUPA can achieve
Traffic define: Burst ; size: mean 125KByte;
about 10Mbps with 6dB RoT and PA
interval: mean 5s
channel.
DC-HSUPA will not improve cell
throughput in high loading , because
its equivalent to two SC HSUPA in this
DC-HSUPA
scenario. user achieves higher throughput gain in lower uplink load.
DC-HSUPA user throughput gain decreases when uplink load increasing.
DC-HSUPA will not increase the uplink coverage.

Why iPhone call drop more frequent:


As we know iPhone3GS and iPhone4 have weak receiver sensitivity
compared with other smartphones, especially when making an AMR call
with hand holding the iPhone4.

Huawei give an iPhone differentiation solution to help


operators guarantee the iPhone userss AMR call experience.

Higher downlink max power may reduce cell capacity.


For example, in extreme situation we assumpt below:
30: AMR call user number at the same time in one cell;
30% : iPhone penetration rate;
20%: distribution rate at cell edge, cell use higher downlink power;
20W:cell max total power.

We can calculate that 30*30%*20%=2 users are making AMR call at cell edge, and the
cell uses higher DL max power we configured. DL max power adds 3db(33dbm to
36dbm,2W) for one iPhone user. The 2 AMR cell edge users consume more 4W power
in DL, which occupy 20% of total DL power(4W/20W=20%). Correspondingly cell
capacity reduces by 20% in estimation.

AMR Voice Quality Improvement Based on PLVA:
Background

In UMTS, Convolutional Codes(CC) are used to perform channel coding and a power control
mechanism is used to ensure voice quality.

But in some weak coverage areas, the voice quality can not be ensured due to UE power

CS Fallback Guarantee for LTE Emergency Calls:
Background

Disadvantage of LTE Emergency Calls based on traditional CSFB


from LTE to UMTS
When the LTE does not support VoIP, the voice call need fallback to UMTS network.
If a UE initiates an emergency call in idle mode on the LTE network, the UE must
transit to connected mode and establish a default PS bearer in the LTE network.
The eNodeB decides whether the UE should be handover or redirect to UMTS.
For redirect mode: eNodeB release the UE, and the UE automatically initiate to access the
UMTS network with emergency call; the disadvantage is long delay and not controlled by
network.
For handover mode: eNodeB inform RNC the handover is triggered by the LTE emergency
call CSFB, RNC will admit this PS service as normal priority, if the admission of the PS
service is successful, the UE will initiate a emergency call in UMTS, otherwise, the
handover is failed.
Purpose of Huawei CSFB guarantee for LTE emergency calls
The emergency call can be set up successfully only after the PS bearer is admitted
to the UMTS network. In order to ensure the emergency call setup successfully,
we must ensure the PS bearer admission to the UMTS.

Network architecture
for CSFB

Normal CSFB
Normal CSFB based on redirection in R8 version, eNodeB just sends RRC_CONN_REL message
with frequency of UMTS cells, not including target cells ID(PSC) and other information. after
redirect to UMTS, UE should search available cell and read the system information blocks first,
then it can initial the service request. This process cost much time and effect on the voice
service experience of access delay.

Initial process:
when configure interRAT neighbor cells or restart the eNodeB in LTE, eNodeB will initials the RIM request
process to get the SIBs of the UMTS neighbor cells.
after receiving the RIM Request, RNC sends the system information block of required cells to the LTE cell.
Update process:
When the system information context is changed(except UL interference in SIB7), RNC will send the
updated system information block to the correlative LTE cells.
Step2 redirection
When UE initial a voice call in LTE, eNodeB triggers CS Fallback to UTRAN with sending RRC_CONN_REL message
which contains the system information blocks of the target redirection cell.

Step3 service initial


Because UE can get the system information block in the RRC_CONN_REL message, UE can initial the service request
directly in UTRAN, avoid reading system information block to decrease the access delay.

Intelligent Access Class Control: Impact Analysis

Benefit:
In case of extremely congestion, barring some ACs can save the UL
power and signaling operation resources to enhance system
stability.
Intelligent AC control can increase the RRC/RAB success rate in the
congestion scenarios.
Impact:
The experience of the UE whose AC is barred is impacted.
If the UE is in PCH state, the service request cannot be forbidden by
AC restriction.
If the distribution of AC is not uniformity, the effect of AC control will
be influenced.
For the R99/R4/R5, it is impossible to bar only PS and keep CS.

Dynamic Target RoT Adjustment

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES
HISILICON CO., LTD.
SEMICONDUCTOR Page 82
Dynamic Target RoT Adjustment: Solution
Description
This feature provides a mechanism to dynamically adjust the ROT (Rise Over Thermal)
target for HSUPA, which will increase the capacity of HSUPA without impacting other users.

Higher ROT will lead to the


coverage shrinking (the circle with
dashed line represents cell
coverage edge in the right figure).
So RNC will monitor whether some
UEs uplink power are limited and
decide to step up or step down the
ROT target periodically.

Scenario
The uplink coverage is not limited,
such as indoor case.
There is some coverage margin in
urban area, which can be
dynamically adjusted to improve
uplink capacity.

Dynamic Target RoT Adjustment :
Benefits
Benefits
The uplink capacity is expanded:
More users can be accepted if RNC
perform admission control
according to RTWP.
Higher cell total throughput (up to
20% gain) can be achieved during
the busy hours in uplink load
congestion. Simulation result on
the right figure indicates above
20% capacity gain when RoT is
dynamically adjusted from 6dB to
10dB under good RF condition
scenario in high load.
If the uplink load is low, the ROT
adjustment is not necessary and no

Expanded uplink capacity leads to higher uplink load, so the KPI of
access and call drop may get a little potential negative impact.

Outer Loop Power Control Enhancement: Solution

First scenario: To ensure service setup success


ratio, initial SIRtarget is generally set to a large
value.
In OLPC enhancement, after service setup, a
larger step is used to quickly adjust SIRtarget, until
SIRtarget <= reference SIRtarget , or
BLERmeas>0.
SIRtarget(i) = -SIRtargetDownSpeed *
SIRADJUSTPERIOD.
Second scenario: Burst interference generally
results in a far large BLERmeas, then SIRtarget
quickly increases.
In OLPC enhancement, when BLERmeas>50%,
SIRtarget is not increased for a short period.
Third scenario: UE transmit power becomes
limited, then SIRtarget quickly increase.
In OLPC enhancement, once UE transmit power
becomes limited, SIRtarget=initial SIRtarget. When
UE transmit power becomes unlimited, a larger
step size is used to quickly adjust the SIRtarget,
the same as scenario one.

Overlay Cells Problem
In some special scenarios, one site is established by two
vendors, for example: F1/F2 cells of one site are belong to
RNC1(vendor A), and F3 cells of the site are belong to
RNC2(vendor B). The load balancing of multi-frequency in one
site cant be achieved between two vendors equipments.
This scenario need to do Load balance between vendors
mostly is inter-RNC scenario.
Load balance Requirement among Hetnet Cells
Macro cells have continuous coverage, most of users attempt
to stay in the macro cells, which cause the high loading in
macro cells.

CE Overbooking

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES
HISILICON CO., LTD.
SEMICONDUCTOR Page 101
CE Overbooking: Background
Current Status of CE Resource Management
After WRFD-010638 Dynamic CE Resource Management is applied, the NodeB calculates the actual CE usage
based on the UE rate. The RNC calculates the credit resource usage of an admitted HSUPA UE with the
following formula to ensure HSUPA user experience:
Credit resource usage = Max (Credit resources required for ensuring the GBR, Credit resources required for
transmitting one RLC PDU)
For 2ms TTI HSUPA smartphones, PS data transmission is discontinuous, the actual UE data rate may be much
lower than the GBR or the data rate at which an RLC PDU can be transmitted. As a result, in a network with
many on-line 2ms TTI HSUPA smartphones, the RNC may reject new UE access attempts even if the actual CE
usage of the NodeB is low.
Purpose of Huawei CE Overbooking
When many on-line 2ms TTI HSUPA smartphones and the HSUPA average throughput is low, enabling this
feature reduces the credit resource usage of admitted UEs, improving RNCs capability to perform admission
control based on credit resource usage. Much more HSUPA users can use 2ms TTI to achieve a higher peak rate
and a shorter scheduling delay.
Scenario
Many on-line 2ms TTI HSUPA smartphones and frequent HSUPA PS calls access.
Dissatisfactory HSUPA RAB setup success rate when CE usage is relatively low in NodeB because of low
average HSUPA throughput.

CE Overbooking: Impact Analysis
Benefits
When the HSUPA users average throughput is low, CE
Overbooking will reduced the credit congestion :
More UEs can access.
The probability of load reshuffling (LDR) actions caused by credit resource
congestion is reduced.
The probability of admission-CE-based dynamic TTI adjustment from 2 ms to 10
ms HSUPA is reduced. More HSUPA UEs can use the 2 ms TTI.

Risk
When lots of UEs have data to transmit at the same time, the required CEs cant
be full satisfied:
A few UEs GBR cannot be satisfied.
if the function admission-CE-based dynamic TTI adjustment is not used, 2ms TTI HSUPA
user cant reconfigured to 10ms TTI in the shortage of CEs, which cause some calls drop.
Suggest switch on the function admission-CE-based dynamic TTI adjustment.

Adaptive Configuration of Typical HSPA Rate:Background

The fixed and separated data rate problem:An example for the fixed and separated data rate configuration l
Typical traffic rate is configured at the RNC with fixed
and separated data rate, and may be inconsistent
with the MBR required by mobile operators.
If a traffic rate inconsistency occurs between the RNC
and CN, RNC selects a typical traffic rate closest to
the MBR assigned by the CN.

Optimization
RNC can use the MBR assigned by the CN to calculate the actual maximum traffic rate
when the MBR cannot be mapped onto any fixed typical traffic rate.
Note that the final MBR is also decided by the maximum rate supported by the UE, the

The actual achieved traffic rate of user with the feature maybe different with
that data rate without the feature:
If the MBR assigned by the CN is greater than the TYPICAL RAB rate closest to
the MBR pre-configured at the RNC, end user may find its traffic rate is increased
after the feature is enabled.
If the MBR assigned by the CN is smaller than the TYPICAL RAB rate closest to

HSDPA Scheduling Based on UE Location: Benefits
Scenario
Improve DL capacity at the cost of lower data rate for cell edge users.

Benefit
This feature improves cell HSDPA throughput by giving more scheduling opportunity to the UEs With good RF
point.
Simulation: 3 UE respectively located in Good Medium or Bad RF point in a cell, full-buffer traffic.
The gain of cell throughput (Total in Figure above) comparing with previous EPF(Alpha=1) :
11%(Alpha=2) 21%(Alpha=3) 33%(Alpha=4) 38%(Alpha=5)

Impact of Network
This feature deprives much scheduling opportunity of the UEs With bad RF point, resulting in their
throughput declined to GBR if configure. So it is suggested strongly to configure GBR for all users
with PS BE service, and ensure basic experience of UEs in the edge of cell.

Security risk
There is generally a security risk in the IP bearer network.
If BTS do not support IPSec, the base station data of signaling plane, user
plane, management plane is carried with clear text, the transmission packets
can be easily intercepted or tampered with.
IPSec is required
IPSec is used to protect, authenticate and encrypt data flow for necessary
security between two network entities at the IP layer.

MOCN cell resource demarcation:
Background
Shortage with traditional MOCN
In traditional MOCN solution, cell resource is totally shared by multiple operators users; In
some cells, it maybe happen that one shared operators users occupying too much resource
and the other operators users has not enough resource to use.
Purpose of MOCN cell resource demarcation
This feature provides a mechanism for defining resource allocation among operators in an
MOCN cell. In non-busy hours, each operator can use the cell resource exceeding its
proportion; In busy hour ,each operators resource usage is making towards the pre-defined
percentage. This prevents the UEs of one operator from occupying too much cell resource in
a MOCN cell.

Battery self-protection under high temperature


When the battery temperature rises, the charging voltage of batteries is automatically adjusted or batteries are
automatically powered off.

Display of the battery runtime


After the mains supply is cut off, the base station works out the runtime of batteries based on the remaining power
capacity, discharge current, and other data.

One Tunnel Enhancement for S12 interface:
background

In UMTS, the one tunnel feature provide direct tunnel between RNC and GGSN for PS
service user plane, it avoids the SGSN to be the bottleneck of the network when high
PS traffic occurs.
In the inter-working of UMTS and LTE, the GGSN replaced by Serving Gateway + PDN
Gateway, the direct tunnel between RNC and Serving Gateway for PS service user
plane is S12 interface.

Shortage of RAN13 LAG
When using LAG, IPPM cannot be supported. Therefore, RNC/NodeB cannot
detect the packet loss on Iub interface.
When manual LAG is working on active-Standby, BFD/ARP cannot bind to LAG
switchover.
Enhancement of RAN14 LAG
When LAG is working on active-standby, IPPM can be supported. Therefore,
RNC/NodeB can detect the packet loss on Iub interface.
When manual LAG is working on active-Standby, BFD/ARP can bind to LAG
switchover. BFD/ARP can detect the soft-fault that physical link can not found.
