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.

compared with other smartphones, especially when making an AMR call
with hand holding the iPhone4.
Huawei give an iPhone differentiation solution to help

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
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES
HISILICON CO., LTD.
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
limitation, fast channel change, or strong interference
Huawei uses an enhanced Viterbi algorithm named PLVA to decode the Convolutional Codes
to make the voice service more robust, especially in poor radio condition
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES
HISILICON CO., LTD.
Solution
Viterbi Decoding PLVA Decoding
Viterbi algorithm: PLVA in RAN14.0

The Viterbi algorithm selects the PLVA selects the top N optimal paths and
the optimal path based on performs CRC on the data decoded on these
the maximum likelihood paths.
theory. The PLVA outperforms the Viterbi
algorithm: When Viterbi CRCI is correct, the
PLVA CRCI is always correct; but when PLVA
CRCI is correct, the Viterbi CRCI is not
necessarily correct.
Only the uplink voice improved, the downlink
voice improvement requires UE to
implement it.

Benefits
Scenario:
Usually the uplink coverage is limited, the feature is beneficial for weak coverage
with low AMR experience, such as high BLER and low MoS.
Benefit:
The feature is effective for both AMR-NB and AMR-WB. For AMR-NB the MOS
improvement is about 0.1~0.3.

Service-based PS handover from UMTS to LTE
Background
In the overlap area of UMTS and LTE LTE

LTE, if the UE starts a PS call in Coverage Coverage
UMTS network and the LTE PS HO from U to L

coverage is good, then handover based on service
the PS service to LTE.

UMTS Coverage
If a UE starts PS call in LTE and

then add a voice call, the LTE LTE
Coverage Coverage
eNodeB will trigger UE CSFB to
UMTS. When voice call is CSFB for CS+PS Switch back for PS
terminated, if the PS call is still

on-going, do "PS HO" for the on- UMTS Coverage

CSFB guarantee for LTE
emergency call
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES
HISILICON CO., LTD.
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.
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES

Fast CS Fallback Based on RIM
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES
HISILICON CO., LTD.
Fast CSFB Based on RIM: background
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.
Fast CSFB
CSFB With SIB enhanced CSFB based on redirection) is used to reduce the access delay for
CS Fallback .

Fast CSFB Based on RIM: solution
Step1 get the system information of UMTS cells based on RIM
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.

The self interference in the WCDMA system greatly affects its capacity and
coverage.
The high Smartphone penetration network indicate users usually have low data
rate and low activity services, the UL DPCCHs are always on and form a substantial
source of interference. The DPCCH of low data rate transmission can occupy above
30% power in the uplink based on the following

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.

Dynamic Target RoT Adjustment
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES
HISILICON CO., LTD.
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.

Configurable Load Threshold:Background
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.
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.

resource calculation methods before and after activating this feature
CE Overbooking Credit Resource Usage

RNC calculates with the following formula :
Not activated R99 Credit resource usage = Credit resources required for ensuring the
MBR
HSUPA Credit resource usage = Max (Credit resources required for
ensuring the GBR, Credit resources required for transmitting one RLC PDU)
RNC calculates with the following formula :
R99 Credit resource usage = Credit resources required for ensuring the
MBR
Activated HSUPA Credit resource usage is adjusted by the CE consumed and the
paramete of CeResFor2msQos, at the same time, assuring that Credit
resource usage doesnt exceed MIN{ Max (Credit resources required for
ensuring the GBR, Credit resources required for transmitting one RLC PDU)}

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
maximum rate supported by the serving cell, and the rate specified in the license file.

Benefit
This feature improves cell HSDPA throughput by giving more scheduling opportunity to the UEs With good RF
point.

[NodeB] SET MACHSPARA: SM=EPF_LOC, LOCWEIGHT= 0 (or 1,2,3)
Note: This feature deprives much scheduling opportunity of the UEs With bad RF
point, resulting in their throughput declined to GBR if config. 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.

NodeB Integrated IPSec: Background
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.
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES
HISILICON CO., LTD.
NodeB Integrated IPSec: Solution
1. NodeB implements IPSec;

2. SeGW(security Gateway) is deployed between NodeB and security area;
3. NodeB establish a IPSec tunnel with SeGW across through the insecurity area;
4. IPSec tunnel isolates and protects all the traffic data transported from the
insecurity area.
NodeB can map all encrypted traffic according to each of the traffic types.
Various security policies can be applied to different data streams.

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.
