2.1 Overview
2. Broadcast Beams
⚫ 5G NR improves the broadcast mechanism based on wide beams in the LTE
era and uses narrow beam scanning in polling mode to cover the entire cell.
The purpose of beam management is to properly design narrow beams and
select appropriate time-frequency resources to transmit narrow beams.
⚫ Narrow beams can:
 Direct the emitted energy at target users, increasing the demodulation signal-to-
noise ratio (SNR) of target users and improving the transmission success rate.
Narrow beams are especially suitable for high frequencies.
 Improve the system coverage and the coverage of control channels, increasing the
cell radius.
2.1 Broadcast Channel Narrow Beams
NR broadcast beams are N narrow beams with different fixed directions. The broadcast beam coverage of the
cell is completed by sending different narrow beams at different moments. By scanning each narrow beam, the
UE obtains an optimal beam, and completes synchronization and system message demodulation.

2.1 Overview
To reduce the difficulty in site selection planning and site optimization and to save optimization and coordination
costs, remote downtilt adjustment is required. The tilts and azimuths of broadcast channel narrow beams can be
entirely adjusted in the unit of 1°through the parameter setting.
In scenarios where the interference from neighboring cells is severe, users can adjust the tilt and azimuth to
make the beams target at users in the local cell. This reduces the overlapped coverage in neighboring cells. In
addition, more beam directions can be achieved by adjusting the tilt and azimuth, meeting different coverage
requirements and implementing flexible networking.

is used. preset azimuth
is not used.
Tilt adjustment is not supported (in scenarios 12 to 16) because the vertical scanning range has reached the
upper limit.
Azimuth adjustment is not supported (in scenarios 0, 1, 6, and 12) because the horizontal scanning range has
reached the upper limit.
The adjustment range is based on the parameter setting. Then, the parameter is substituted into the steering
vector. The steering vector is multiplied by the initial weight matrix to obtain the final steering vector, which is then
sent to the baseband part.
Note: Only the maximum adjustment capability is provided here. In actual situations, when the tilt is adjusted to a
certain degree, the side lobe suppression may not be sufficient. The adjustment range varies according to the
specific requirements.
If the upper side lobe meets the suppression requirement of 12 dB, the preset downtilt (6°) is used as the
reference. For digital RET, the increase range is 8° and the decrease range is 3°.
⚫ The tilt adjustment range in scenarios 1 to 5 (with a vertical 3 dB beamwidth of 6°) is –2°to 9°.
⚫ The tilt adjustment range in scenarios 6 to 11 (with a vertical 3 dB beamwidth of 12°) is 0° to 6°.

3.3 Tilt Adjustment
Tilt Adjustment in High Frequency Bands
Due to architecture factors, the 19A version does not support dynamic weights. Therefore,
approximate downtilt adjustment can be implemented by deleting beams.
The tilt adjustment range supported by high frequency bands is 0° to 30°.
• For downtilt from 26.25° to 30°: Delete four layers of beams.
• For downtilt from 18.75° to 26.25°: Maintain one layer of beams at the cell center.
• For downtilt 18.75° to 11.25°: Delete two layers of beams at the cell edge.
• For downtilt 11.25° to 3.75°: Delete one layer of beams at the cell edge.
• For downtilt from 0° to 3.75°: No beams are deleted.
As shown in the preceding figures, if the downtilt adjustment range is 3.75°, beams of the outmost layer are deleted.

This feature is enabled by default. You can run LST NRDUCELLTRPBEAM command to query the configured beam scenario and tilt.
Trace the UE and observe the RSRP corresponding to the optimal beam. Then, determine whether the beam scenario takes effect.
For example, if the UE locates at the normal direction of the vertical beam as shown in the following figure, when the H105V6 scenario is
changed to the H110V25 scenario, you can observe that the RSRP reported by the UE after the change is higher than the RSRP reported
by the UE before the change.
The beam ID is also changed from 4 to 3.

Thinking
Question:
What's the specific impact of a faulty AAU dipole? Are there any disaster recovery measures? Is it
necessary to replace the entire AAU?
Answer:
A few faulty channels (64T64R) have limited negative impacts on the performance. The AAU can still
be used.
This issue can be handled using an algorithm and setting the weight of damaged channels to zero.
However, the orthogonality of the MU must be protected from being affected.
An alarm will be generated if the number of faulty channels reaches a specified threshold. In this
case, you need to replace the AAU.
If the number of faulty high-frequency channels reaches a specified threshold, an alarm is reported,
and 4T is rolled back to 2T.
