NR UL and DL Decoupling
Description:
• With the technology of NR UL and DL decoupling, the coverage of C-
band will be significantly improved by SUL low-frequency spectrum
because the uplink coverage of C-band NR is the bottleneck.
4G 5G
• Once a UE moves in the area where the uplink coverage of C-band
LTE NR NR is poor, uplink can works in the SUL spectrum and downlink still
works in the C-band NR.
• SUL spectrum includes 2100M/1800M/800M/700M/AWS.
Note:
1) In SRAN15.0, this feature is Trial. Only 1800M with 15M/20M BW is supported
2) In SRAN15.1, for 1800M / 2100M / AWS, 15M/20M BW is supported.

Benefits:
• Enlarge the coverage of C-band, and the uplink user experience of
NR will be improved.
3.5GHz coverage aligned Dependency:
with 1.8GHz • UE supports the function of NR UL and DL decouple, where SUL
spectrum includes 2100M/1800M/800M/700M/AWS.

LTE FDD and NR Uplink Spectrum Sharing

LTE Scheduler
Joint NR Scheduler Description:
Scheduling • In order to enable the deployment of NR UL and DL decoupling,
uplink spectrum is shared between FDD LTE and 5G NR by this
feature.
Prediction of UL Resource Prediction of UL Resource • Huawei provides two mechanisms to implement the uplink spectrum
Requirement / Result Requirement / Result
sharing:
 Static spectrum sharing (SRAN15.0)
Central Resource Allocation: PF  Dynamic spectrum sharing per TTI (SRAN15.1)
• SUL spectrum includes 2100M/1800M/800M/700M/AWS.
Note: In SRAN15.0, this feature is Trial.

Benefits:
• Make full use of uplink spectrum and enable the deployment of NR
UL and DL decoupling.
Dependency:
• UMPTa, UMPTb, UMPTe and later
• UBBPd, UBBPe and later

Antivirus
• Antivirus software has been installed
by default.
• All-round security scanning and
Server Protect for
Linux (SPLX) ESET NOD32 Antivirus 6 release before product release

Preinstalled with well-known antivirus software in the industry

Leakproof hole • Scan the source code after encoding and start the
disassembly option during compilation.
BTS/BSC M2000 • Vulnerability scanning during product integration
• Install the latest patch when the version is released.
• Security hardening is performed during production.
BSC M2000 • The patch upgrade must be released at least once a year.
