1 Overview
1.1 Background
In the field of mobile broadband, the LTE emerges rapidly in recent years. In 2008, the
mainstream operators, such as Vodafone, China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom,
Verizon, and NTT DoCoMo, all claim to evolve the next generation network towards the LTE.
In addition, Qualcomm also renounces the UMB and embraces the LTE. In 2011, the LTE is
put into commercial use, launching the journey to the LTE world.
To help the user better experience the superiority of the LTE network, an increasing number
of demonstration services are rapidly performed in each office. This document describes the
common LTE demonstration services with figures and aims to provide technical service
engineers onsite with quick guide to performing demonstration services independently.
The video-on-demand (VOD) service aims to play one or multiple high-definition videos
using the mobile broadcast business platform (MBBSP). In the demonstration, you must
check whether the video is smooth in the buffer time at the beginning and during the four-
hour process of playing the video.
High-Definition Telepresence Meeting
The high-definition telepresence meeting is a multi-party video conference realized by a
telepresence system over the LTE network. As a new-generation high-definition video
conference system, it features real-time panorama transmission and short delay. The
telepresence system has high requirements on the channel quality and the bit error rate (BER)
must be less than 2%. In the demonstration, you must check the consistency between video
and voice, that is, the handover delay and handover bandwidth. Generally, a fixed-line UE
needs no special optimization before accessing the LTE network. However, you need to check
the handover parameters before a mobile UE connects to the network. This is because some
on-site customers may participate in the conference during the demonstration. If the video is
suspended or encounters mosaic effect, the customers will have bad impression on the LTE. In
this sense, the high-definition telepresence meeting is of major importance among all the
demonstration services.
High-Definition Mobile Editing Broadcast
The high-definition mobile editing broadcast is an evolution in social development mode
brought by integration of the telecommunication network and the radio, film and TV network
after the LTE network is developed. This service requires a high-definition camera. The video
is delivered to the eNodeB over an encoder containing a radio module. The decoder on the
peer end decodes the video that is received and broadcasts it on the large-screen monitor. This
service features high definition and flexible mobility but large delay (more than 2s) due to the
processing of the encoder and decoder in the video transmission process. Therefore, you are
advised to place the camera out of vision of the monitor, protecting users from direct delay
experience.
Multichannel Video Surveillance
In recent years, the video surveillance attracts more attentions. This service is specially
designed to demonstrate that the LTE brings more flexible deployment schemes and more
cost-effective implementation.
Radio WIFI UE Demonstration
This service can be realized in a flexible method. At present, the customer premise equipment
(CPE) is connected to a wireless router, which converts the LTE signals to WIFI signals. UEs
such as the laptop, iPad, and mobile phone can access the Internet using WIFI. This service
enables users to experience high-speed Internet surfing and FaceTime services.
Super-Speed On-line Game Playing
Currently, there are a number of methods to demonstrate on-line game playing services. One
method is to connect two computers to the LTE network over separate LTE UEs to play
interactive games together. Another method is to use the game UEs such PS3s to play
interactive games over WIFI. Normally, the game services have low requirements on
throughput but higher requirements on delay. Therefore, the demonstration process focuses on
smoothness (delay) of the game.
CAUTION
The S1-U port must not share a physical link with the SGi port so that the data is not
transmitted for one more time over the physical link, affecting the performance. The switch
must be a 1000 Mbit/s full-duplex switch. The following network is not allowed.
2.1 UE Optimization
Generally, if it is a normal version (common version, which is described in details in the
following sections of various services), no special optimization is required. This section
focuses on optimization for the computer connected to the UE. As the computer usually runs
in the Windows XP system, the registry must be optimized. Parameters require optimization
for TCP transmission rather than UDP transmission.
Open the registry and then modify parameters in a designated path. If a parameter is
unavailable in the designated path, you need to add the parameter manually.
NOTE
To open the registration, choose Start > Run and enter regedit in the run field.

NOTE
After optimizing the parameters, restart the computer to activate the modified parameters.
In addition to the parameters included in the registration, the window size must be modified
using the following tool.
NOTE
Tcp Receive Window: indicates the window size for receiving packets over TCP. The unit is byte.
Window Scaling: indicates the window scaling factor. When the TCP receive window is greater than
65535, select YES.
Time Stamping: NO is recommended; otherwise, the data transmission rate will be affected.
Selective Acks: indicate the selective ACK packet. Default is recommended.
MTU (on the lower right): indicates the maximum transmission unit. The MTU must be set
according to the network card. Generally, it is set to 1400 or 1460. If you are not sure which network
card needs to be modified with the MTU, you are advised to modify the MTU for all the network
cards.
You are advised not to modify other parameters.
After modifying the preceding parameters, restart the computer!
NOTE
More uplink resources will be used after modification of dynamic scheduling parameters. The
original settings for dynamic scheduling parameters are recommended in a commercial network.
Dynamic scheduling parameters for competition tests and demonstrations can be modified by
running the preceding commands.
The QCI to be used onsite can be obtained from the account registration information. If any queries,
contact the EPC account registration personnel. (Generally, the default QCI is 6.
Querying QCI
− Method 1
Check the traffic transmission rate and QCI settings by viewing the following information
elements contained in the S1AP-INITIAL-CONTEXT-SETUP-REQ message over the S1
interface.
Currently, LTE is in the market expansion phase, and the competition test and demonstration
capabilities play an important role. However, Huawei faces many challenges, for example,
LTE high-speed mobile broadband services are demonstrated using the third-party
commercial tools, there is no centralized service demonstration platform, service
demonstrations are complicated and unprofessional, and onsite deployment takes a long time.
In terms of onsite demonstration, the service demonstration software of other communication
companies takes precedence over Huawei service demonstration software, especially for VoD
service demonstration. Huawei is urged to learn from vendors. To be more competitive in the
product test and solution delivery and demonstration, a centralized and professional mobile
broadband service demonstration system becomes a necessity. The MBBSP, developed on the
Web, is a centralized and professional on-demand platform for real services. It mainly
implements the following functions:
Supports login-based verification and language switching between Chinese and English.
Sets uplink and downlink ping services and packet sizes and displays the delay and jitter
values in real time.
Supports download-only or upload and download of FTP services and displays the
throughput in a chart in real time.
Supports 1, 4, 9, 24, or 32 channels of VoD display, selects display resolution for various
media files, and uploads media files.
Snapshoot nine websites on the platform using Web services and clicks the screenshots
to access the network.
Supports on-line game playing (Need for Speed).

4.1.5 Procedure
Commissioning Principles
Perform the commissioning in the sequence: UDP downlink peak throughput > TCP
downlink peak throughput > UDP downlink peak throughput > TCP downlink peak
throughput.
If the channels are stable (for example, the SNR fluctuates within 1 dB), the corresponding
peak throughput is stable.
Procedure
1. Store the iperf file (shown as follows) in the root directory of disk C.
iperf.rar
2. Run the cmd command to open the DOS window, enter cd\ in the CMD window to open the
root directory of disk C, and then transmit packets.
NOTE
The iperf.rar package contains a gperf.exe file, which is the iperf operation window in graphs. If you are
not familiar with the following commands, use the gperf to transmit packets. If the gperf supports fewer
parameters than the iperf, select either of them as required.
a. Downlink UDP Packet Transmission from the Server to the UE
On the server, run the cmd command to open the DOS window, and then run the following
command:
iperf -c xx.xx.xx.xx -u -b 100m -p 6001 -t 99999
On the PC connected to the UE, run the cmd command to open the DOS window, and then
run the following command:
iperf -s -u -p 6001
The following table describes the information contains in the commands.
Indicates that the Iperf runs in client mode and packet transmission to the
-c xx.xx.xx.xx
IP address is enabled (xx.xx.xx.xx indicates the IP address of the UE).
-u Indicates that UDP packet transmission is enabled.
Indicates the transmit (TX) bandwidth of UDP packets. The unit is
-b 100m bits/sec. The default bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s. The bandwidth in the
example is set to 100 Mbit/s.
The designated port for packet transmission is 6001, which can be
-p 6001 changed as required. The ports on the Iperf server and Iperf client must
be consistent. The default serving port is 5001.
Indicates that the packet is transmitted for 99999 seconds, which can be
-t 99999
modified as required.
Indicates that the Iperf runs in server mode, that is, the Iperf server is
-s
started.
Indicates that the Iperf runs in client mode and packet transmission to the
-c xx.xx.xx.xx
IP address is enabled (xx.xx.xx.xx indicates the IP address of the server).
NOTE
The IP address of the UE must be queried using signaling. To query the IP address of a Huawei UE,
check the MM_ATTACH_ACP message on the OMT, as shown in the following figure.
c. Downlink TCP Packet Transmission from the Server to the UE
On the server, run the cmd command to open the DOS window, and then run the following
command:
iperf -c xx.xx.xx.xx -p 6003 -w 512k -t 99999
On the PC connected to the UE, run the cmd command to open the DOS window, and then
run the following command:
iperf -s -w 512k -p 6003
The following table describes the information contains in the commands.
The Iperf runs in client mode and packet transmission to the IP address
-c xx.xx.xx.xx
is enabled (xx.xx.xx.xx indicates the IP address of the UE).
-w 512k The size of a specific TCP window is 512 Kbit/s.
CAUTION
The command cannot contain the –b parameter, which is applicable to UDP packet
transmission only.
Indicates that the Iperf runs in client mode and packet transmission to the
-c xx.xx.xx.xx
IP address is enabled (xx.xx.xx.xx indicates the IP address of the server).
-w 512k Indicates that the size of a specific TCP window is 512 Kbit/s.
CAUTION
The command cannot contain the –b parameter, which is applicable to UDP packet
transmission only.
CAUTION
Change the server IP address to 80.32.2.202 and change the file to be uploaded to 50m.bin.
CAUTION
Change the server IP address to 80.32.2.202 and change the file to be downloaded to 1G.bin.
NOTE
pwd indicates the directory on the server. dir or ls is used to view the files on the current server. lcd is
used to change the local serving directory (for example, lcd d:\ is used to move the local serving
directory to disk D.) bin indicates the file is downloaded in binary format. Ha indicates ongoing during
the data downloading process. # indicates data downloading. get indicates that a file is to be
downloaded. put indicates that a file is to be uploaded.
If the channels are stable (for example, the SNR fluctuates within 1 dB), the corresponding
peak throughput is stable. The fluctuation of single-UE peak throughput cannot exceed 1
Mbit/s. Generally, the single-UE peak throughput in TCP transmission is about 600 Kbit/s
lower than that in UDP transmission. The following figure shows the stability of the peak
throughput (you can install the following NetMeter.rar file to view the peak throughput
trend).
NetMeter.rar
4.1.6 LTE FAQs
1. Why is the throughput generally 1 Mbit/s and cannot reach the expected value during the
uplink and downlink UDP packet transmission?
Answer: Check the following information elements contained in the S1AP-INITIAL-
CONTEXT-SETUP-REQ message over the S1 interface to view the traffic transmission rate
and QCI settings.
If the settings of throughout and QCI are incorrect, contact the EPC engineers to modify the
parameters.
2. Why does the throughput in UDP transmission reach the peak but the throughput in TCP
transmission cannot?
Answer: Follow section 2.1"UE Optimization" to modify the parameters on both the server
and the PC connected to the UE. For a multi-network-adapter system, ensure that
parameters for each network adapter must be modified. For some systems, the MTU
discovery switch needs to be configured. The following figure shows how to configure the
MTU discovery.
3. Why cannot the terminal implement the dual streaming?
Answer: Check whether the MIMO mode is configured correctly. Run the following
commands on the Web LMT according to the onsite situations (for example, the
demonstration is performed indoors only.) to check the MIMO mode. Before running the
command, back up default parameter settings so that you can resume the configurations after
the demonstration.
4. Why does a Huawei UE in the FDD LTE have a throughput of around 25 Mbit/s only even if
the signal is good?
Answer: Use the Probe to check whether the scheduling in the MCS is double codeword
word.
That is, code0 and code1 must have corresponding scheduling. Alternatively, check the
signaling trace over the UU interface to see whether the RRC_CONN_RECFG message
contains the reconfiguration information about TM2 and TM3.
4.2.2 Prerequisites
1. Check the prerequisites. See section 4.1.2"Prerequisites".
2. Modify the number of PDCCH symbols to 1 by running the following commands:
MOD CELLPDCCHALGO: LocalCellId=0, InitPdcchSymNum=1,
PdcchSymNumSwitch=OFF;
4.2.3 Requirements and Configurations for Hardware and
Software
The configurations of hardware and software required in the cell peak throughput
demonstration are similar to those of the single-UE peak through demonstrations. The only
difference lies in the rule that the number of UEs and PCs depends on the number of the
subscribers.

4.2.5 Procedure
Follow the single-UE commissioning method to have UE 1 access the network and reach the
peak throughput, and then have UE 2 access the network and reach the peak throughput.
Test Procedure
When a UE connects to the network, the Iperf tool on the PC connected to the UE acts as the
client and the Iperf tool on the packet transmitting server acts as the server. Packets are
transmitted from the server to the client by UDP/TCP.
In the downlink peak throughput test, the number of PDCCH symbols must be modified from
the default 3 to 1; otherwise, the downlink MCS cannot be set to 28. In this case, even if the
value 28 is configured, a number of CRC errors occur and the throughput drops.
Run the following MML command to modify the number of PDCCH symbols.
MOD CELLPDCCHALGO: LocalCellId=0, InitPdcchSymNum=1,
PdcchSymNumSwitch=OFF;
Adjust the attenuator to have the UE position close to the center of the cell and set the
downlink RSRP to a value ranging from –75 to –80 and average SINR to about 30 dB.
Observation Method
Check the UE throughput at the application layer (the traffic volume of the network adapter
on the PC) using the NetMeter software.
NetMeter traffic volume = Traffic volume at the application layer + Size of Ethernet MAC
overhead
The throughput at the application layer on the PC can be observed by using the DU Meter or
NetMeter. The NetMeter is recommended. This is because the Netmeter calculates the traffic
volume of different network adapters and records the throughput in .txt format, facilitate
report and analysis.
If the problem remains after the computer is restarted, start the Ethereal or Wireshark capture
tool on both the transmitting and receiving sides, and then perform TCP single-thread
transmission. Ensure that the link-establishing TCP packet can be traced. The tracing duration
is about 10s. Compress and send the data that is traced to Huawei headquarters for analysis.
4. Troubleshoot a non-TCP single-thread problem.
Perform UDP transmission in a reverse direction and check whether the throughput is normal.
For example, if the downlink TCP transmission encounters a problem, perform uplink UDP
transmission to check whether the uplink traffic volume is stable and has at least 40 bytes in
MTU more than the downlink traffic volume. The default MTU is 1500 bytes. When the
downlink traffic volume reaches 50 Mbit/s, the uplink traffic volume is at least 1.33 Mbit/s. If
the uplink traffic volume is unstable or insufficient, identify the uplink UDP problem and find
a solution. Then, use the resolution to address the TCP problem.
If the throughput in the UDP transmission along the reverse direction is normal, start the
Ethereal or Wireshark capture tool on both the transmitting and receiving sides, and then
perform TCP single-thread transmission. Ensure that the link-establishing TCP packet can be
traced. The tracing duration is about 10s. Compress and send the data that is traced to Huawei
headquarters for analysis.
5. The throughput fluctuates sharply.
Answer: This problem usually happens when the block error ratio (BLER) over the air
interface is high or changes sharply, the uplink dynamic scheduling is enabled during the
downlink transmission, or the TCP layer encounters packet loss.
To identify the problem, perform the following operations:
1. See steps 1 to 4 in problem 6.
6. Check whether packet loss occurs in the TCP transmission.
Enable the tracing function of the Ethereal on the transmitting or receiving side and then enter
the tcp.analysis.duplicate_ack in the Filter box (no quotation mark is allowed). If the digit
following the # under the TCP Dup ACK contained in the filter results, as shown in the
following figure, is equal to or greater than 2, it indicates that some packets get lost. If the
digit following the # is 1, there is no packet loss. The following figure shows that the digit
following the # reaches 5, the packet loss occurs (the times of Dup ACK packet loss).
If there is no packet loss, start the Ethereal or Wireshark capture tool on both the transmitting
and receiving sides, and then perform TCP single-thread transmission. Ensure that the link-
establishing TCP packet can be traced. The tracing duration is about 10s. Compress and send
the data that is traced to Huawei headquarters for analysis.
If there is packet loss, perform packet capture using the Ethereal or Wireshark over the
mirroring port on the switch connected over the S1 interface. Then, compress and send the
data that is traced to Huawei headquarters for analysis. The method of packet capture over the
mirroring port varies depending on the type of the switch. For details, contact the EPC
maintenance personnel or customer service personnel on site.
a. The data transmission is interrupted.
Answer: To identify this problem, perform the following operations:
1. Check whether this is a TCP problem.
When a problem happens in TCP transmission, check the UDP transmission to see whether
the same problem occurs. If yes, check the UDP transmission to identify the cause and find a
solution. Then, troubleshoot the TCP transmission. If the UDP transmission has no problem,
go to step 2.
7. Modify the MTU.
Use the following DRTCP tool to modify the MTU on the network adapter of the laptop
connected to the UE to 1400; then, restart the computer.
DRTCP.exe
If this method fails to troubleshoot this problem, start the Ethereal or Wireshark capture tool
on both the transmitting and receiving sides, and then compress and send the data that is
traced to Huawei headquarters for analysis.

This service is designed to improve the user's experience by accessing the LTE networks by
means of WIFI UEs, and connects to the Internet through the LTE to surf the Internet at a high
speed, use VOD on the internet, and realize FaceTime based on two iPads 2. In addition,
customers in the demonstration will spot that tens or even one hundred WIFI UEs can access
the LTE network to download files at a high speed. This function is unavailable in the 2G and
3G networks.
At present, this service is demonstrated successfully in the Mobile World Congress
(Barcelona) and in the China Mobile group. The FaceTime service attracts special attentions
from the customer. Before performing this service, ensure sufficient bandwidth for accessing
the internet.
4.6.2 Prerequisites
a. Ensure proper connection to the EPC and the internet, that is, Internet services are
available by using UEs.
b. Good channel quality; initial conditions for downlink channels: –65 < RSRP < –90 (–80
is recommended), AVG SNR > 30.

4.6.5 Procedure
Connecting the WIFI UE to the LTE aims to visit the Internet by using LTE bearers.
Therefore, the prerequisite is proper connection between the LTE network and the internet,
where the key work is to connect the EPC to the Internet properly. The wireless network
elements (NEs) can access the Internet as long as the EPC is connected properly. For details
about commissioning on the EPC, contact the EPC technical support personnel. The wireless
NEs need to obtain the following information from the EPC: UE IP address, subnet mask,
gateway, and DNS.
Before the wireless NEs connect to the router, ensure that the wireless NEs are commissioned
successfully, that is, the UE is connected to the PC, and you can visit the Internet from the PC.
When commissioning for the EPC is successful, you can visit the Internet after configuring
the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS.
After commissioning the UE using the PC, connect the wireless router to the UE. The
configuration interface for the wireless router varies depending on the manufacturer.
However, the operation procedures are the same as follows:
a. Connect to the network by using fixed IP addresses.
b. Configure the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS
c. Set the account and password of the router. (Password can be neglected but you are
advised to set a password to prevent unauthorized access from affecting the
demonstration.
3D Video Service Demonstration
The 3D video service using the LTE is a new service in the past year. This demonstration
shows how the LTE meets high-throughput demands, attracting many customers on site.
As a new service, the 3D video service is seldom demonstrated abroad by Huawei. China

This service involves a number of professional devices and some third-party devices, and can
be implemented in many ways. However, there is no standardized implementation method so
that this document does not describe the implementation method in details. Huawei will
continue to watch the development in this service and conclude a standardized
implementation method as earlier as possible.
5 Non-MBBSP Demonstration Services
(Optional)
5.1 Email
5.1.1 Overview
Regular demonstrations seldom involve the email service. However, some operators concern
about this service because they want to know whether the LTE supports the Post Office
Protocol 3 (POP) and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). As the email service is a part of
LTE services, this document simply describes the configuration and demonstration method of
the email service.
5.1.2 Prerequisites
Set a 20 MHz cell with two TX channels and two RX channels. Ensure that the cell is in the
normal state.
The UE can access the network properly.
The UE can ping the server and the server can ping the UE.
Initial conditions for downlink channels of each UE: –65 < RSRP < –90 (–80 is
recommended.)
5.1.5 Procedure
To configure the client, perform the following operations:
Start Microsoft Office Outlook. In the Internet Accounts window, choose Add > Mail.
Enter the email address assigned by the mail server, IP address of the mail server, account,
and password.
NOTE
If the webmail.ltetest.com domain name cannot be parsed (due to no domain parsing server), enter the
IP address of the domain directly. The POP3 and SMTP can be neglected.
Click Next, and then click Finish to complete the configuration on the client. Now, you can
enter the email address of the peer end (for example, [email protected] or
[email protected]) to send emails or receive emails from the peer end.
5.1.6 FAQs
How to register and send emails when a DNS server cannot be installed?
Answer: If a DNS server cannot be installed, use the IP address as a domain name. For
example, if the email address of the receiver is [email protected], enter the IP
address (10.121.72.46) corresponding to the domain name (webmail.ltetest.com).
