5. SW DOWNLOAD AND ACTIVATION TIMES

Note: There is limited number of simultaneous SW Management operations over the southbound interface on LTE iOMS:

- max 100 eNB SW downloads at a time (in one batch), - if the 2 hour duration of one batch is exceeded, then issues might appear and to

avoid them, the Customer need to decrease the number of simultaneous downloads accordingly.

5.1 Flexi Multiradio BTS LTE

LN7.0 1.2 can be background downloaded to the FCM prior to activation. Activation of the eNB software will cause momentary loss of service in the serving cells as the FCM will be reset. The rough SW download and activation times are:

The rough SW download and activation times

SW download eNB with FSME ~ 25 min eNB with FSMF ~ 15 min

SW activation (including eNB reset), causing temporary loss of service ~ 5 min

LTE_RL70_1.2 Release Summary and Impact - Page 7/13 © Nokia Solutions and Networks 2015 APPROVED 1.0 Confidential

5.2 Flexi Zone BTS

LNF7.0 1.2 can be background downloaded to the FZM prior to activation. Activation of the software will cause momentary loss of service in the serving cells as the FZM will be reset.

The rough SW download and activation times:

SW download ~ 5 min SW activation (including eNB reset), causing temporary loss of service ~ 6 min

6. EFFECTS ON OPERATOR

6.1 KPI changes

6.1.1 Improvement on: E-RAB Accessibility

Release where the change will be introduced RL60 NE SW version RL60 3.0 Relation to features or corrections 152136ESPE02: 8-eps-bearer setup failure simultaneously LTE520: 8 EPS bearers per UE (RL60 feature)

Short description / Expected impact Probability of EPS establishment rejection with ‘Invalid QoS combination’ caused by Bearer Combination Control (BCC) is lowered due to additional bearer combinations introduced (only some subset from 3GPP defined bearer combinations have been allowed before). Reasoning why the change was made Problem observed during Field Verification Some correct bearer setups (coming from cisco MME) was rejected with cause 'invalid QOS combination' Type of change: generic in the SW, license-based or activated by PRFILE Generic in the SW UE dependency no Impacted counters/KPIs - Counter EPS_BEARER_SETUP_FAIL_RNL (M8006C2) is decreased

-> KPI LTE_1065c E-UTRAN Total E-RAB Accessibility is improved -> KPI LTE_5574c E-UTRAN Additional E-RAB Accessibility is improved -> KPI LTE_5086a E-UTRAN E-RAB Setup Failure Ratio per Cause is improved

- Average number of data radio bearers per Active UE is expected to increased with the traffic increase (LTE520 specific)

- UE power consumption increase is expected due to new bearer combinations introduction when all 8 bearers are established in compare to 6 bearers support at maximum (LTE520 specific)

6.1.2 Improvement on: ETWS & Paging

Release where the change will be introduced RL60

Page 9: LTE_RL70_1.2_Release_Documentation.pdf

LTE_RL70_1.2 Release Summary and Impact - Page 8/13 © Nokia Solutions and Networks 2015 APPROVED 1.0 Confidential

NE SW version RL60 3.0 Relation to features or corrections PR58862ESPE05: Paging message array elements not properly released LTE843: ETWS Broadcast

Short description / Expected impact Wrong behaviour before the fix has been committed: If a normal PCCH paging message is scheduled in the last TTI of a BCCH modification paging period, then the internal paging message bookkeeping may fail. Correction: Internal bookkeeping has been fixed.

Reasoning why the change was made Problem observed during Field Verification, paging was not sent over PCCH (user could not be reached or called) Type of change: generic in the SW, license-based or activated by PRFILE Generic in the SW UE dependency No Impacted counters/KPIs/Alarms None – not visible in PM Counter Number of raised alarms (BTS faults) 6112 “Phish Power Boost not applied “ is reduced (as fast workaround to indicate problems with paging to the customer, an existing Alarm was used )

6.1.3 Improvement on: VoLTE Success Ratio

Release where the change will be introduced RL60 NE SW version RL60 3.0 Relation to features or corrections LTE10 EPS Bearer for Conversational Voice 153320ESPE02: QCI1 release related counters are updated even when QCI1 setup was not successful 153409ESPE02: ENB_EPS_BEAR_REL_REQ_R_QCI1 is updated incorrectly when the QCI1 release initiated by EPC side Short description PM counter shall only count bearers for which E-RAB Setup Response was sent to MME. Expected impact Without correction in very rare interaction cases the VoLTE drop was unnecessarily counted. Reasoning why the change was made Problem observed during Field Verification Type of change: generic in the SW, license-based or activated by PRFILE Generic in the SW UE dependency No

Page 10: LTE_RL70_1.2_Release_Documentation.pdf

LTE_RL70_1.2 Release Summary and Impact - Page 9/13 © Nokia Solutions and Networks 2015 APPROVED 1.0 Confidential

Impacted counters/KPIs - Counter ENB_EPS_BEAR_REL_REQ_R_QCI1 (M8006C134) is decreased - Counter EPC_EPS_BEAR_REL_REQ_N_QCI1 (M8006C89) is unchanged

-> KPI LTE_1153a Average voice call duration is improved -> KPI LTE_5572a E-UTRAN E-RAB QCI1 Drop Ratio, RAN View is improved

6.1.4 Increase on: UL Latency KPIs

Release where the change will be introduced RL60 NE SW version RL60 C5 Relation to features or corrections TCP window optimization Short description / Expected impact This functionality is introduced as a countermeasure for TCP Auto Tuning Window Size. RTT time increase so that TCP window size is bigger. Reasoning why the change was made Achieving higher throughput rates. Type of change: generic in the SW, license-based or activated by PRFILE Generic in the SW UE dependency No Impacted counters/KPIs -> KPI LTE_5137a E-UTRAN Average Latency Uplink increased.

6.1.5 Corrected formula for KPI: (M8001C266/M8001C267)/(M8001C420/100)

Release where the change will be introduced RL70 1.1 NE SW version RL70 Relation to features or corrections PR053800: [LN70]Throughput 5MHz UL wrong KPI Short description / Expected impact Formula for KPI (M8001C266 / M8001C267) / (M8001C420 / 100) in case of 5MHz should be between [0.95; 1.05]. Reasoning why the change was made Incorrect KPI statistics about users with uplink buffered data: M8001C266 / M8001C267 and M8001C420 / 100. Sampling for average counters related to buffered UE data in uplink are counted incorrectly. Type of change: generic in the SW, license-based or activated by PRFILE Generic in the SW UE dependency

Page 11: LTE_RL70_1.2_Release_Documentation.pdf

LTE_RL70_1.2 Release Summary and Impact - Page 10/13 © Nokia Solutions and Networks 2015 APPROVED 1.0 Confidential

No Impacted counters/KPIs Formula for KPI: (M8001C266/M8001C267)/(M8001C420/100)

6.1.6 Corrected M8014C17 counter

Release where the change will be introduced RL70 1.1 NE SW version RL60 Relation to features or corrections NA05798920: S1 base handover counter update mismatch Short description / Expected impact Alignment between specification and implementation. The counter won’t be incremented. Reasoning why the change was made Mismatch between specification and implementation. M8014C17 "Failed Inter eNB S1-Handover preparations due to other reason” was wrongly updated after source eNB has already received “handover command”. Type of change: generic in the SW, license-based or activated by PRFILE Generic in the SW UE dependency No Impacted counters/KPIs M8014C17 "Failed Inter eNB S1-Handover preparations due to other reason”

6.1.7 Corrected KPIs: LTE_5603a and LTE_5601a

Release where the change will be introduced RL70 1.1 NE SW version RL70 Relation to features or corrections NA05803652: Abnormal KPI value in LTE_5603A and LTE_5601a Short description / Expected impact Replaced function which does not depend on eNB time synchronization to provide elapsed system time. Reasoning why the change was made Times of measured procedures were affected by eNB time synchronization. Type of change: generic in the SW, license-based or activated by PRFILE Generic in the SW UE dependency No Impacted counters/KPIs LTE_5603a - E-UTRAN Maximum RRC Connection Setup Time

Page 12: LTE_RL70_1.2_Release_Documentation.pdf

LTE_RL70_1.2 Release Summary and Impact - Page 11/13 © Nokia Solutions and Networks 2015 APPROVED 1.0 Confidential

LTE_5601a - E-UTRAN Maximum E-RAB Setup Time

6.2 Alarm changes

6.2.1 “Antenna line failure (1836)” instead of “Antenna Line Device failure (3100)” when overcurrent is detected

Release where the change will be introduced RL70 1.1 NE SW version RL70 Relation to features or corrections NA05811006: After upgrade some sites have Antenna Line failure Short description / Expected impact The alarm changed to Antenna line failure (1836) when overcurrent is detected, and the description of such has also updated to: “The Radio Module (60W RRH) or Filter (all others) has detected overcurrent on the antenna line. The antenna line might be damaged (short circuited) or some antenna line device is causing overload. All antenna line devices powered by the antenna line are out of order.” Reasoning why the change was made “Antenna Line Device failure (3100)” alarm wrongly shown when overcurrent is detected. Type of change: generic in the SW, license-based or activated by PRFILE Generic in the SW Impacted Fault ID 1836: EFaultId_ALOvercurrentAl 3100: EFaultId_AntennaLineFailure

6.2.2 New scenario added to Fault ID 1868

Release where the change will be introduced RL70 1.1 NE SW version RL70 Relation to features or corrections PR046004: 2 Cells are down after BW change of another cell Short description / Expected impact New scenario (cell disabled) is added to fault 1868 and alarm 7653 is enabled with additional info: “Detected hardware doesn’t allow to setup cell according to configuration”. Reasoning why the change was made No alarm is raised when cell is disabled. Type of change: generic in the SW, license-based or activated by PRFILE Generic in the SW Impacted Fault ID: 1868: EFaultId_NotEnoughHwForLcrAl

Page 13: LTE_RL70_1.2_Release_Documentation.pdf

LTE_RL70_1.2 Release Summary and Impact - Page 12/13 © Nokia Solutions and Networks 2015 APPROVED 1.0 Confidential

6.2.3 Changed handling of Fault ID 6803

Release where the change will be introduced RL70 NE SW version RL70 1.2 Relation to features or corrections NA05819629 - There is an alarm 7652 Base station notification (6803: EFaultId_GpsAntennaCurrentHighAl) LTE1629- Integrated GPS Sync for Flexi Zone Micro BTS Short description / Expected impact The FZP GNSS receiver hardware does not support the ability to measure GNSS antenna LNA current so the 6803 fault should not be reportable by the FZP. The 6803 fault should be reported on the FZM only. Reasoning why the change was made The masking of 6803 fault reporting will prevent the false fault reporting. Type of change: generic in the SW, license-based or activated by PRFILE Generic in the SW Impacted Fault ID: 6803 - EFaultId_GpsAntennaCurrentHighAl Alarm ID: 7652 - BASE STATION NOTIFICATION

8.1.2.2 Recommended pause between eNB startup and recommissioning

In case of sites with complex HW configurations (e.g. FSMF+2xFBBC+2xFRLB+3xFRIG, chaining + Carrier Aggregation) and with installed LN7.0 SW, it is recommended to wait after eNB startup (ON-AIR state) minimum one minute before the recommissioning (requiring eNB reset) is done. It will ensure that all procedures, operations and SW updates are finalized properly. Otherwise the ongoing postprocessing activities may be interrupted which may cause the eNB operability problems. In case of sites with FBBC modules and using EXT3 optical port, an additional automatic reset is needed during SW Upgrade from RL50/RL60 to RL70 SW. eNB startup will extend from around 8 min to 12 min due to reset of FBBC modules.

8.1.2.3 RL70 PUCCH Dimensioning Change before Upgrade

Due to changes introduced in RL70 and missing check implementation in RL60 following changes shall be done prior the upgrade of the SW from RL50/60 to RL70. What has been changed: During migration from RL50 or RL60 SW to a newer SW Release version, the parameter actCompChecks in class LNBTS is changed from value ‘true’ to ‘false’ What was wrong: (1) In RL60 only the description of the parameter maxNumActUE in the delivered RNL pdf-

parameter documentation included following limitation:

Page 25: LTE_RL70_1.2_Release_Documentation.pdf

RL70 - LTE_RL70_1.2 Installation Instructions - Page 11/31 © Nokia Solutions and Networks 2015 APPROVED 1.0 Confidential

Dependencies: maxNumActUE + max(addAUeRrHo, addAUeTcHo) must be less than the margin values for the used bandwidth (see values above (480,600,1030,1200)) Starting with RL70 this is implemented as semantic check in maxNumActUE maxNumActUE + max(addEmergencySessions, addAUeRrHo, addAUeTcHo) value should be lesser/equals to upper bandwidth limit

(2) In RL60 the defined parameter relationship in parameter maxNumRrc (class LNCEL) which has been used in validation was to general: (1.3) if actHighRrc set to 'false', maxNumRrc value range is restricted to 0...840 This lead for a cell bandwidth of 15 MHz that an higher value is possible to be configured than should have been allowed. In RL70 the limitation is corrected as defined below if actHighRrc set to 'false' and - min(ulChBw,dlChBw) is '15 MHz', maxNumRrc value range is restricted to 0...720

(3) In RL60 the defined parameter relationship in parameter maxNumRrc (class LNCEL) which has been used in validation is extended due to LTE1803 and considers further separation for SRS and deltaPucchShift value definition: (4.1) applicable for riEnable set to 'true' - maxNumRrc + max (addAUeRrHo,addAUeTcHo) <= n1PucchAn * cellSrPeriod (4.2) applicable for riEnable set to 'true' AND riPerM set to '2' - maxNumRrc + max (addAUeRrHo,addAUeTcHo) <= (nCqiRb - blankedPucch) * 6 * cqiPerNp (4.3) applicable for riEnable set to 'true' AND riPerM set to '1' - maxNumRrc + max (addAUeRrHo,addAUeTcHo) <= (nCqiRb - blankedPucch) * 6 * cqiPerNp/2 Has been further split into SRS and MIMO aspects in the configuration in RL70 (4.1) applicable for deltaPucchShift=1 AND (4.1.1) ... srsConfiguration is configured to any value /*SRS support*/ - maxNumRrc + max (addAUeRrHo,addAUeTcHo) <= n1PucchAn * cellSrPeriod – 6*cellSrPeriod/5*n1PucchAn/36 (4.1.2) ... srsConfiguration is NOT configured /*no SRS support*/ - maxNumRrc + max (addAUeRrHo,addAUeTcHo) <= n1PucchAn * cellSrPeriod (4.2) applicable for deltaPucchShift<>1 - maxNumRrc + max (addAUeRrHo,addAUeTcHo) <= n1PucchAn * cellSrPeriod (5) MIMO mode related checks: (5.1) applicable for riEnable set to 'false' /*no MIMO support*/ - maxNumRrc + max (addAUeRrHo,addAUeTcHo) <= (nCqiRb - blankedPucch) * 6 * cqiPerNp (5.2) applicable for riEnable set to 'true' AND riPerM set to '2' /*MIMO support*/ - maxNumRrc + max (addAUeRrHo,addAUeTcHo) <= (nCqiRb - blankedPucch) * 6 * cqiPerNp (5.3) applicable for riEnable set to 'true' AND riPerM set to '1' /*MIMO support*/ - maxNumRrc + max(addAUeRrHo,addAUeTcHo) <= (nCqiRb - blankedPucch) * 6 * cqiPerNp/2

(4) In RL60 the defined parameter relationship in parameter maxNumRrc (class LNCEL) which has

been used in validation is extended due to LTE1803 and considers further separation for SRS and deltaPucchShift value definition as mentioned in the previous case for carrier aggregation configurations: (5.1) applicable for riEnable set to 'true' AND - n1PucchAn is not set to '10' : maxNumRrc + max(addAUeRrHo,addAUeTcHo) <= min((nCqiRb - blankedPucch) * 6 * cqiPerNp/2, (n1PucchAn – 48) * cellSrPeriod)

What needs to be done:

Page 27: LTE_RL70_1.2_Release_Documentation.pdf

RL70 - LTE_RL70_1.2 Installation Instructions - Page 13/31 © Nokia Solutions and Networks 2015 APPROVED 1.0 Confidential

1. In RL60 the configuration of the eNB shall be modified that all above mentioned conditions are fulfilled in RL60.

2. After the installation of the new SW release version, the parameter actCompChecks in class LNBTS shall be changed to ‘true’ to assure a semantically correct configuration. If validation error are displayed those shall be corrected based on the provided information.

8.1.2.4 No HW configurations changes during SW upgrade HW configuration changes should not be done during SW upgrade as this may lead to inconsistencies in the internal configuration files. Changes in configurations should either be executed before SW upgrade or after SW upgrade. In case the changes have been executed before SW upgrade a SW fallback will keep the configuration changes. In case the configuration change will be done directly after SW upgrade and then a SW fallback will be initiated, the changed configuration may lead to start up problems with former SW. Reason would be that the internal configuration file of pre-upgrade will be used and this may not match the changed configuration.

8.1.2.5 CM Upload must be executed after eNB upgrade in case Automatic Synchronization

with NetAct is not enabled After the upgrade of an eNB is executed a CM Upload with CM Operation Manager must be executed to synchronize the eNB database with NetAct in case Automatic Synchronization with NetAct is not enabled. For more information please see at chapter 8 “Operational Hints and Recommendations” the section “Automatic Synchronization with NetAct after upgrade of eNB“.

8.1.2.6 Double entries of LNADJG and LNHOIF in RL50 In RL50 it is not forbidden to have duplicated entries of LNADJG or LNHOIF. In RL70 there are stricter rules which doesn’t allow this anymore: LNADJG: “The combination of mcc, mnc, mncLength, gTargetLac and gTargetCi must be unique within all LNADJG instances of the eNB.” LNHOIF: “eutraCarrierInfo must be unique in scope of the LNCEL instance and it need to be different to the earfcnDL of the superior LNCEL”. When upgrading from RL50 to RL70 this duplicated entries are not deleted automatically, because the upgrade procedure cannot decide which of these duplicated entries should be deleted. After an upgrade the eNB is on Air but when the next commissioning via NetAct or BTSSM is executed, the system will detect this conflict and the commissioning will be rejected with a warning indicating to this conflict. After upgrade the operator has to delete the double entries via NetAct or BTSSM so LNADJG and LNHOIF is unique. Note: CM tool provides a rule for CM Analyzer which can be used in order to identify duplicate entries for deletion.

8.1.2.7 Recommended values for LNCEL/ Intra- and inter-frequency load balancing common load settings /targetLoadPdcch for Macro and Small Cell in eICIC mode

New Intra- and inter-frequency load balancing common load settings --targetLoadPdcch should be set to default=90% Old: targetLoadPdcch: 50% Reason: Smaller values cause unnecessary muting pattern changes towards MP0 in eICIC macro. In eICIC small cell it is recommended to set new default value 90% in order to avoid reporting the cell as overloaded due to lack of PDCCH resources.

RL70 - LTE_RL70_1.2 Installation Instructions - Page 14/31 © Nokia Solutions and Networks 2015 APPROVED 1.0 Confidential

8.1.2.8 phyCellIdRange must be empty before Upgrade

phyCellIdRange (blacklistHoL) ==noRange(14) is not supported in RL70 and migration rule is not implemented yet. Upgrade LTE BTS with this value phyCellIdRange (blacklistHoL) ==noRange(14) will cause a software fallback. Workaround: Before Upgrade set parameter phyCellIdRange (blacklistHoL) to an empty value.

8.1.2.9 SCF Validation failure If after upgrade BTSOM SCF Validation fails e.g. a mandatory parameter is missing system module of eNB will execute a fallback to previous build. An alarm SW fallback (4083) will be raised and additionally RF and transport module will have incompatible SW. Due to this incompatible SW NetAct will start an additional update to this previous SW to get RF and transport to the same SW as system module and after this eNB will be onAir.

8.1.2.10 Configurations with Base Band Extension Modules

• Make backup commissioning from complete RL60 configuration. • Upgrade eNB from RL60 to RL70. • In some cases it may be necessary that an additional manual reset by operator is necessary.

8.1.2.11 ‘actOTN Recovery’ to be set to ‘false’ before Upgrade to RL70 Parameter ‘actOTNRecovery’ has to be set to “false” in RL60 before upgrading to RL70.as functionality is not yet supported in RL70.

8.2 Flexi Zone BTS

8.2.1 First installation and commissioning The commissioning procedure of the FlexiZone BTS is described in the document “Commissioning Flexi Zone Micro BTS LTE” [3]. Please be aware that BTS Site Manager shall be updated before the BTS SW.

8.2.2 Project Update/Upgrade

IMPORTANT NOTE: Uncomissioned upgrade from RL50FZ factory-installed loads will fail if OMS IP is not properly

configured on the DHCP server

Uncomissioned upgrade from RL50FZ factory-installed loads will fail if OMS IP is not properly configured on the DHCP server. As the autoconnection is always toggling, TRSW is always busy in preparing a file download, hence a SW download request is rejected. BTSOM component receives AER message with Nackreason "busy". Workarounds:

• The DHCP server must be configured with IP of compatible and working dedicated OMS server during uncommisioned upgrade from RL50FZ factory-installed load.

Note that issue is not visible when: • DHCP server is turned OFF • FZM backhaul cable is disconnected from the rest of network (inc.DHCP)

There is an issue with transformation function in RL70 SW that transform IPSEC managed object. When

SW upgrade from RL50FZ to RL70 is performed then the remoteNetmask from RL50FZ is not adapted to remoteIpPrefixLength in RL70. In consequence the TRS become uncommissioned. Workaround: Use BTS SM for TRS reconfiguration after upgrade to RL70. Manually enter remoteNetmask into each IPsec policy. Reference: NA05785573: NPI RL70FZ: After RL70FZ upgrade netmask of remote network in each IPsec policies is missing (see CN-id: LNF7.0_00102)

Upgrade from RL50FZ P8 contains two intermediate steps which require RL50FZ 0.1 & RL50FZ 0.2 installation. Upgrade from RL50FZ 0.1 when passive SW= RL50FZ P8 also contains single intermediate step which requires RL50FZ 0.2 installation. This is a known issue related to RL50FZ P8 load and already fixed in the RL50FZ 0.2 and RL70 (and higher) load. Additional workarounds not needed.

Flexi Zone BTS may reset additional one time after upgrade from RL50FZ. It is caused by RL50FZ SW and may lengthen the time necessary for eNB to come into service about 60s. This is known issue fixed in RL70 (and higher). Additional workarounds not needed.

Flexi Zone BTS may reset additional one or two times after upgrade to intermediate load (when

upgrading from factory load LNF7.0_ENB_1407_059_00). This is known issue and no additional workarounds are needed.

When a site is in uncommissioned state and a user tries to upgrade using BTS Site Manager while

connected via the LMP, there is a small chance that site manager connectivity drops and the user has to attempt the upgrade again. Plug and Play procedure is not impacted. Once Transport is commissioned (auto-connection and/or auto-configuration triggered by NetAct), that problem goes away and the user can use the LMP for upgrades w/o issues.

NOTE: The issue is not visible while connected via Bluetooth.

Checking active/passive SW version:

Net Act: Software Manager Network Status MO type:”MRBTS” -> Select your MRBTS -> Synchronize

8.3 SON

SON is a set of features which enables operator to configure base station by connecting it to the network. To enable usage of SON facilities some preparation steps must be taken. It is described in Customer Documentation library in section “Functional Area Description-Operability-Configuration Management-SON management” chapter 4 “SON management” [5]. Descriptions and hints about SON feature usage can be found also in Customer Documentation for iSON Manager.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If operator is deploying the RL70 release using the auto connection/configuration process for FZM(s), which has RL50FZ SW active, the plan validation failure can be seen in the Netact CM Operations Manager during Auto configuration process. For more details & workaround instructions please refer to TSN: TS-BTS-SW-0007.

9 GENERAL OPERATOR HINTS

9.1 Debug flags (R&D flags) in swconfig.txt

Usually no R&D flags should be active in field eNBs. However, for those eNBs where R&D flags are necessary for logging, from eNB build LN7.0_ENB_1407_506_69 onwards the debug flag 0x010041 must be set to value 5 (instead of the previous value 1). This can be done either via modification of swconfig.txt (followed by an eNB reboot) or with the usual CLI commands (online modification). Background: Starting from load LN7.0_ENB_1407_506_69 the setting for flag 0x010041 = 1 has changed its meaning! This setting generates a flood of trace messages which results in poor eNB performance and in certain cases even makes O&M access impossible. Please check every eNB for 0x010041 = 1 before upgrading to RL70 SW and modify the value to 0x010041 = 5 or deactivate the flag.

9.2 Up to 3 resets excuted on FSMF Upgrade

After upgrade of FSMF up to 3 resets are executed. First reset is ApplicationReset. A second reset is necessary, because there is firmware update and this needs a reset. A third reset will be executed when the domain-id is changed. This results in an outage of about 10 minutes.

Page 31: LTE_RL70_1.2_Release_Documentation.pdf

RL70 - LTE_RL70_1.2 Installation Instructions - Page 17/31 © Nokia Solutions and Networks 2015 APPROVED 1.0 Confidential

9.3 FSMx SW upgrade to RL70 1.2 with Factory SW

NOTE: The eNB needs to be uncommissioned with only iOMS connectivity. In other case the SW upgrade from factory SW to RL70 1.2 will fail. FSME with factory SW LN3.0_ENB_1103_771_02, what is the upgrade path here towards RL70? Direct upgrade to latest RL7.0 1.0 is possible. For example, LN3.0_ENB_1103_771_02 -> LN7.0_ENB_1407_572_04. Note: There may be issues with SSH(Ethernet security port) automatically enabled after startup; ping lost and no UDP print as a result. The workaround for this is to disable the Ethernet security port with flags (shown in Step 1) in swconfig.txt(see 0x30000F=1 flag below). The SW config file has to be created before SW upgrade is initiated. SW update:

Step 1: Add flags to swconfig.txt and FTP it to the folder /config under the active file system (fs) E.g. fs1/config/swconfig.txt (since it a new system, fs1 is most likely to be the active file system)

#FCT UDP logs enable(no SWDL print without these flags) 0x10041=2 #for FSMr2 0x10041=5 #for FSMr3 #Info model (IM) enabled 0x3A0001=1 #Port Security disabled (SSH) or can be disabled via BTS EM (flag will no longer needed when fix is available for PR 127786ESPE04: LBT2793 / CRL6008- BTS HW view cannot be generated with FTM(FTIB/FTLB) production SW) 0x30000F=1 #SCF validation switched off to prevent SW fallback – PR 121663ESPE04 0x300010=1

Step 2: After step 1, the eNB reset is necessary and afterwards the SW upgrade can be performed with RL7.0 1.2. After SW upgrade the swconfig.txt should be deleted. For R&N testing purposes, no need to delete swconfig.txt. FSMF HW version A.101 Some of these units (FSMF.101) still being delivered with older factory SW LN4.0_ENB_1202_475_03. This SW version (1202_475_03) does not have the supported uboot; therefore extra steps have to be taken in order to update to RL70 1.1. SW update path LN4.0_ENB_1202_475_03 -> LN4.0_ENB_1202_781_57 -> LN7.0_ENB_1407_572_04. Note: The exact update path must be followed or will result in a system crash. SW update steps: -If the FSMF.101 unit has SW version LN4.0_ENB_1202_475_03, 1-install BTS SITE Manager LTE4.0-1202_765_02 or any compatible BTSSM. 2-Disable “Ethernet security port” via BTSSM 3-perform SW update to LN4.0_ENB_1202_781_57. 4-From 1202_781_57, any newer SW build can be used; Hint RL70 can be used.

RL70 - LTE_RL70_1.2 Installation Instructions - Page 18/31 © Nokia Solutions and Networks 2015 APPROVED 1.0 Confidential

FSMF HW version A.102, A.103 ff: FSMF with current factory SW LN4.0_ENB_1202_781_57 The factory comes with the updated boot loader and can be upgraded directly to RL70. E.g. LN4.0_ENB_1202_781_57 -> LN7.0_ENB_1407_572_04. See technical note “TS-LTE_BTS_FDD-SW-0042_I1” FSMF with FDSW1.0 (boot-loader) can be upgraded directly to RL70 e.g. -> LN7.0_ENB_1407_572_04.

9.4 TRS commissioning

The delta plan file that is downloaded from NetAct side to eNB is in RAML2.1 format. eNB BTSOM expects unordered XML format, however TRS is requesting ordered XML format. BTS Site Manager for Transport configurations makes the ordering before the plan file is downloaded to eNB, however the parser in BTSOM does not consider the ordering and the file forwarded from BTSOM to TRS has a different ordering of MOCs. This leads to TRS commissioning errors. Dedicated MOCs must be in a special order, otherwise separate TRS delta plan files have to be used for recommissioning. Workaround: Operator shall configure problematic cases so that each plan file contains changes only for one MOC at a time and different plans are provisioned into network in correct order.

9.5 Redirection to ultraFDD supported only

Redirection is only supported to utraFDD. There is no feature ‘Redirection to utraTDD’. Nevertheless the value ‘utraTDD’ can be selected in instances of the managed object classes REDRT, MORED and MODRED. Please do not set parameter redirRAT to ‘utraTDD’ in REDRT, MORED and MODRED otherwise the related cell will not provide service and the alarm ‘Cell configuration data distribution failed' will be reported after upgrade to RL70.

9.6 Mast Head Amplifier FHLA: Validation error “Incorrect parameter: mhaGain” after upgrade to RL70

When the configuration contains MHA of type FHLA with version 103 and upgrade to RL70 is executed the validation with BTSSM will show a validation error “Incorrect parameter: mhaGain” and an alarm Antenna Line Device failure (1873). During the next reconfiguration via BTSSM mhaGain will be set automatically from 13.00 to 12.00. This requires a BTS reset. With NetACT mhaGain must be manually set from 13.0 to 12.0.

9.7 Juniper SEC-GW

While using Multi-Layered Certificates in combination with Juniper JUNOS 12.1x44-D23 as SEC-GW, IPsec Connections between eNB and SEC-GW are only possible if the used certificates for both devices are at the same branch and the same level of the Certificate Chain. Any other combination of different certificate level or branches for eNB and SEC-GW are not working.

RL70 - LTE_RL70_1.2 Installation Instructions - Page 19/31 © Nokia Solutions and Networks 2015 APPROVED 1.0 Confidential

With JUNOS 12.1X46-D10.2 and JUNOS 12.1X46-D20.5 the certificates may also be from different levels and branches. If eNB trust chain has a different Root CA, it is necessary to install as Trust Anchor in the GW not only the eNB RootCA but also the complete eNB trust chain including all intermediate CAs.

9.8 Checkpoint SEC-GW

Operation mode: Round robin for Ethernet interface on Checkpoint should be avoided as packet loss is observed with this setting in R&D Lab. Recommended setting for Ethernet interface operation mode configuration at Checkpoint to be set to LACP(802.3ad) . IKEv1: To work with IKEv1 one need to choose exclusively “IKEv1 only” mode in community level on CP. IKEv1: Multi tunnel configuration: Not released (Restriction for multi tunnel configurations due to CP offering of traffic selector of 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 (universal tunnel) and so no IPSec SA established.) Multi Layer Certificates: Multi Layer Certificates operation with Checkpoint is not released by Nokia Security organization.

9.9 Auto Connection and VLAN Scan Optimization

Cisco Interoperability for improved eNB AutoConnection Feature. The SON feature has been improved to be faster. In case of using VLANs at the transport configuration a VLAN scan functionality has been introduced with RL70. This feature will inspect all incoming packets to detect the VLAN IDs in use. Since this process speeds up the switching time between sending DHCP DISCOVER messages as plain frames and sending VLAN tagged messages, a change at the access router/switch has to be made if it is a Cisco device. By default a physical interface on Cisco is set to support “DTP – Dynamic Trunking Protocol” which is a proprietary protocol. If this is enabled it will try to detect configured trunks on the next hop once the port is up. It will block the VLAN IF to be up for 30sec. This will cause the DHCP negotiation to fail.

Page 34: LTE_RL70_1.2_Release_Documentation.pdf

RL70 - LTE_RL70_1.2 Installation Instructions - Page 20/31 © Nokia Solutions and Networks 2015 APPROVED 1.0 Confidential

According to Cisco’s documentation this feature should be turned off if the next hop is not a Cisco product. Therefore configuration of the physical interface at Cisco router/switches should be as following:

----- Example ----- TT_Cisco#sh run int gi 3/11 Building configuration... Current configuration : 273 bytes ! interface GigabitEthernet3/11 description Gi 3/11 Temp AutoConnection switchport switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk allowed vlan 201 switchport mode trunk switchport nonegotiate logging event link-status spanning-tree portfast trunk end

9.10 LTE497 Smart Admission Control: Avoid GBR admission in empty cells fail

When 'Enhanced AC and GBR services' are activated, i.e. if ‘actEnhAcandGbrServices’ equals 'true', it is highly recommended to configure ‘gbrCongHandling’ to 'l2andl3'. If it not configured like this, GBR admission in empty cells may fail.

9.11 IPSec: MTU size in OMS, CA Server and LDAP Server to be reduced to 1400 Bytes

IPSec requires additional IP overhead. In case the default MTU size of 1500 Bytes is used, the IPSec Gateway needs to fragment the IP packets before encrypting is done. Some applications are setting the ‘don’t fragment’ bit, which is prohibiting the fragmentation, but in this case the IP packets are dropped and not transferred at all. In order to avoid this the MTU size of OMS, CA Server and LDAP Server shall be limited. For OMS:

fsipnet bond modify bond0 node CLA-0 mtu 1400 fsipreconfigure commit

9.12 IPSec PROTECT / BYPASS Policies Definition

For the configuration of IPSec policies in the eNB, the following rule needs to be considered. In case of several matching IPSec policies, the policy rule which shall be applied needs to have a lower number than the other matching policy. The lowest number of several matching policies is applied first. For example, if a wide-ranging PROTECT policy is defined (e.g. ANY-TO-ANY) and a dedicated traffic type shall bypass the IPSec tunnel, than the BYPASS policy needs to be configured with a lower ‘Policy Order Number’ than the protect policy.

9.13 ICMP Rate Limiting

In order to avoid a system outage due to DoS attacks (ICMP flood) the ingress and egress ICMP packet rates are limited. Only a burst of 8 ICMP_ECHO_REQUESTS / ICMP_ECHO_REPLY are allowed. If e.g. more than 8 ICMP_ECHO_REQUESTS are sent in a burst, eNB will only reply to the first 8. This is applicable for the eNB interface address(es) (Ethernet and VLAN).

9.14 LTE574 IP Transport Network Measurements: Configuration of UDP Port number of TWAMP Responder

Currently, the UDP port of the TWAMP Reflector can be freely configured in the range from 0 to 65535, with a default value of 5000. Free configuration of this parameter requires special care, since the entries may conflict with port numbers which are already assigned to other applications. E.g. the port numbers 0 … 1023 and 5001 … 5010 are reserved and must not be used for the TWAMP responder function. Currently, the system does not support a complete check of the configured TWAMP responder port number against all other port numbers used in the system. To avoid conflicts between the TWAMP UDP port number and other port numbers, it is recommended to always use the default value of 5000. It has been found that the flexibility in configuring the port number does not provide a real benefit, and using a fixed value eliminates the possibility of mis-configurations.

9.15 Date/Time in Transmission Alarms is misleading in BTS Site Manager

Date/time included in fault name of transmission alarms is misleading in BTS Site Manager. Same issue is correctly displayed in NetAct Alarm Monitor.

9.16 Import new MRBTS SW to NetAct

When a new MRBTS SW is imported to NetAct SW Archive the ‘Version ID’ and the ‘Package name’ should be set to the SW release version. By default the file name of the SW is entered. If the default name is used an automatic fallback via NE-triggered-SW-update wouldn’t work: Before import is executed, select ‘Details’

Page 36: LTE_RL70_1.2_Release_Documentation.pdf

RL70 - LTE_RL70_1.2 Installation Instructions - Page 22/31 © Nokia Solutions and Networks 2015 APPROVED 1.0 Confidential

And enter in the fields ‘Version ID’ and ‘Package name’ the SW release version e.g. LN6.0_ENB_1311_114_00 as shown as example in the picture above and below.

9.17 Automatic Synchronization with NetAct after Upgrade of eNB

By default the feature LTE954 ‘Intelligent Configuration Synchronization’ is disabled in NetAct. If it is disabled data synchronization via CM Upload of NetAct must be executed manually after upgrade (the same way as it was in previous releases, e.g. after upgrade from RL40 to RL50). If it is enabled the automatic upload of the configuration data is not started immediately after upgrade, it is started after a configurable time interval. Furthermore there are situations when it is necessary to perform manually the data synchronization after upgrade even the feature is enabled. This can happen when the establishment of the OAM connection takes a long time, but the startup of the eNB is very quick, e.g. when eNB is configured with only one cell and OAM connection with IPSEC. When after upgrade the configuration data synchronization state is empty the eNB must be manually synchronized with NetAct. For more information about the configuration of the feature LTE954 ‘Intelligent Configuration Synchronization’ please refer to the documentation of LTE954.

9.18 LTE523 Multi-layered Certificate Authorities: Slash character not supported as subject name element separator

Manual key and certificate commissioning: BTS and eNB does not support slash ‘/’ as subject name element separator.

9.19 BTS booted due to TRS power on reset during FSMF upgrade

When FSMF upgrade requires FPGA version upgrade, during activation of new software, an additional power on reset occur after FPGA firmware update. Because of this reset, after software upgrade, BTS booted alarm due to TRS power on reset alarm will observed. Alarm can be ignored in this case.

9.20 TRS not commissioned, eNB Re-commissioning possible only after 12 Minutes after

Start-Up

If after resetting the eNB state is ‘BTS configured’ and ’TRS not commissioned’, eNB re-commissioning may fail due to ongoing RNW plan activation. Re-Commissioning will be successful after RNW plan activation will have finished (latest after 12 min timer expiry).

9.21 RF Sharing: Upgrade first the Master Technology

Unless otherwise stated, it is recommended to first upgrade the master technology (i.e. LTE) as the SW management of Radio Modules in RF sharing is done via the master System Module only.

9.22 Recommendations for RF Sharing WCDMA-LTE dual band configurations

• During FSMF rollout 3G SM optIf4 should be connected to 4G FSMF optIf6 for sync Advantage: No change of sync port during upgrade to dual band configuration

• Install FBBA/FBBC during FSMF rollout Advantage: No additional power off/on reset during upgrade from single band RF sharing

9.23 RF Sharing WCDMA-LTE Synchronization

• Clock source switching from OCXO to clock received from RP3-01, when operating as an extension system module or as a synchronization slave system module.

• At slave system module, the setting about the sync is not necessary. Synchronization will be fixed to master system module.

• If system module is synchronized to master system module, Site manager will display the synchronization source as “Other BTS”.

9.24 RF sharing WCDMA-LTE with FSMF on LTE side

LTE side: Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) of the LTE eNB: Set the IP address of the LMT PC to 192.168.255.126/24.

RL70 - LTE_RL70_1.2 Installation Instructions - Page 25/31 © Nokia Solutions and Networks 2015 APPROVED 1.0 Confidential

For an LTE eNB running in RF sharing WCDMA-LTE configuration, choose “Local (192.168.255.127)”:

After enabling or disabling RF sharing for the LTE eNB, please restart the BTS Site Manager with the correct option. Alternatively the remote IP address of the LTE eNB can be used.

9.25 Don’t configure WCDMA-LTE RF Sharing in use if shared BTS site doesn’t contain WCDMA System Module

If WCDMA system module does not exist and if WCDMA-LTE RF sharing has been taken into use then BTS remains in initializing state because WCDMA system module is fixedly synchronization master in LTE-WCDMA RF sharing. Initializing state in BTS SW prevents reconfiguration commissioning from BTSSM Workaround: If this accidently happens it is possible to commission BTS to the synchronization master mode via NetAct, because Flexi Radio auto-detection is not required, when commissioned via NetAct.

9.26 MHA/RET settings - ReadOnly field

In RL70 Error indication (Read Only parameter, Execution failed) is raised to alert and tell the operator a ReadOnly field of MHA/RET is being edited. Such operation will not be executed by eNB. Currently this error indication is missing before RL70 so if the wrong value is already set before, customer may perceive such error indication from site manager after eNB is upgraded to RL70. This error indication has no harm to eNB performance but operator should re-commission MHA/RET settings to make the wrong value correct.

9.27 Change of RX level calculation procedure for Vegas and Reno RF Variants

With RL70 RX level calculation procedure has been changed for Vegas FXEB, FXDB, FXCB, FXFC and Reno FHEB, FHDB, FRPK RF variants. Instead of using power scaling factor values hardcoded in BPF file Scaling factor as sent by Radio Module is used in System Module for the RX level calculation. Impact on network performance: Modification of scaling factor are visible in change of KPI trends for RSSI PUCCH/PUSCH (up-to +-3dB) and mostly – but depending on settings for UL Power Control – additionally in Power Head Room Reporting from UE, UL SINR, UL HARQ Retransmission.

9.28 BTS Site Browser behavior change for TRS parameters between RL60 and RL70

The backup commissioning file does not support the TRS parameters in RL70 while they are supported in RL60. The RL70 BTS Site Browser does a backup of BTS parameters only.

9.29 Workaround for alarm 1836: EFaultId_ALOvercurrentAl

In default BTS commissioning, both 3GPP/AISG and DC are marked. This is because eNB does not know what equipment is in antenna line and it will sniff ALD equipments in startup (i.e. DC must be marked there). However if this DC tap is not unchecked, in case NO ALD equipment in feeder (instead of feeder RS485 port is used for ALD (tilt)) then 1836: EFaultId_ALOvercurrentAl alarm will be raised. The workaround to avoid mentioned above problem is to enable only 3GPP/AISG communication in case TILT equipment is supposed to be taken into use with RF modules with RS485 port for RET devices.

This workaround should be done when eNB is RL60 SW level. After DC taps are unchecked on BTS commissioning, alarm 4141 DcVoltageAdministrativelyDisabled will appear to SEM/iOMS. This alarm will disappear after upgrade to RL70 or resetting alarming RF module. If workaround is made in RL70 SW level, eNB reset is needed to avoid any unnecessary alarms or unexpected eNB behavior.

9.30 Rules for commissioning of passive / virtual MHA

In case eNB with RL60 SW has been commissioned with more than two LNAs, only 2 LNAs can have same serial number and product code. Different PC and SN for all LNAs is also allowed – however it would mean that each LNA belongs to separate MHA (this can occasionally lead to other problems like mistaken recovery). In general relationship between PC and SN for every LNA shall reflect to physical MHA construction and to the way this physical device is connected to Base Station. In case this condition is not fulfilled, the cells will stay disabled / degraded after upgrade to RL70 SW. Serial numbers need to be removed or rewritten so that pair of SN and PC for every LNA is in line with statement above. Such reconfiguration (if required) shall be performed prior migration to LN7.0 is started If there is some gain provided by external source to antenna line (either active MHA controlled by different site or passive MHA which is not fed with power by our site) suggested way of commissioning is to use additionalRxGain parameter (carrying the value of gain provided by such device) instead of using “MHA in Use” option. In such case, if MHA will be commissioned to the antenna line, then antennaTotalLoss value will be taken to FEG calculations (by default -3db). For example, if MhaGain is set to 12db and antennaTotalLoss is set to -5db, then additionalRxGain should be 5db less, means 7db.

9.31 TRS becomes un-commissioned after adding address set for 2nd operator

When additional operator needs to be configured on the eNB (for RAN sharing purposes), TAC needs to be configured for 2nd operator transport network. Otherwise, when only U-Plane and C-Plane addresses for 2nd operator are configured, the TRS will become un-commissioned.

10 CHECKING OF THE PACKAGE CONSISTENCY

After downloading the software it is important to generate SH1 checksum for files and compare it with the one provided in the Summary of Corrections and Enhancements document, this will ensure that the files were not corrupted during downloading. In order to check the package consistency after Flexi Multiradio BTS LTE SW update, please ensure that the procedure “Update SW to BTS site” is terminating successfully. In order to check the package consistency after Flexi Zone BTS SW update, please ensure that the procedure “Update SW to BTS site” is terminating successfully.

11 FALLBACK

11.1 Flexi Multiradio BTS LTE Operator Hints

11.1.1 HW configuration changes HW configuration changes should not be done during SW upgrade as this may lead to inconsistencies in the internal configuration files. Changes in configurations should either be executed before SW upgrade or after SW upgrade. In case the changes have been executed before SW upgrade a SW fallback will keep the configuration changes. In case the configuration change will be done directly after SW upgrade and then a SW fallback will be initiated, the changed configuration may lead to start up problems with former SW. Reason would be that the internal configuration file of pre-upgrade will be used and this may not match the changed configuration.

11.1.2 New HW not supported by previous SW Version

For new HW that was not supported by previous SW (i.e. FBBC extension board) the HW changes and configuration have to be done after SW upgrade. Those changes must be revoked before fallback otherwise the previous SW may not work.

11.2 Flexi Zone BTS Operator Hints

11.2.1 Manual Rollback to factory load is not supported

Rollback to factory-installed loads (means uncommisioned) is not a supported scenario. SW Rollback allows the operator to return to the previously active (commissioned) SW load and configuration that are stored in the passive file system.

Title: LTE2050 Wrong CAC calculation / Active Bearers measurement wrong Version of the SW-build: LN7.0_ENB_1407_572_04 Valid for Product(s): Flexi LTE Base Station References: Reason for the Change Note: Summary of the original problem: When running the SW in field for a longer time (several days) the CAC value did not return to 100 anymore even in times when cell load was low. How end user/operator could detect the problem: Handover UEs are prevented from getting into the cell. Description of the fault: Calculation of CAC depends on a value (average scheduling weights of nonGBR bearers having data in buffer) which is reported by MAC-PS to C-Plane. This value did not return to 0 in some cases and as a result CAC value was stuck. The reason why the value did not return to 0 was a hanging UE which was not released correctly after it went out of sync. So the scheduling weights of nonGBR bearers of this UE were always used for the average calculation even if the UE wasn’t connected anymore. In case of several hanging UEs the scheduling weights accumulated. Description of the correction: There are 2 changes in order to solve the problem: 1. PDCCH order will be triggered if either L2 buffer status is filled or MAC-PS buffer status is filled or both are filled. 2. In case of UE goes out of sync a timer is started which triggers a final out of sync in case of expiry which in turn triggers a UE release. The timer is chosen in a way that neither the inactivity procedure nor the PDCCH order procedure is affected. Risk analysis of the correction: If the timer of 2. is not calculated correctly UE might be released even if there is a chance to get the UE in sync again. Corrected Fault Reports: NA05814845 LTE2050 Wrong CAC calculation / Active Bearers measurement wrong

Title: UE stuck in OutOfSync. Version of the SW-build: LN7.0_ENB_1407_572_04 Valid for Product(s): Flexi LTE Base Station References: Reason for the Change Note: Summary of the original problem: During reconfiguration of DRX in MAC PS it could happen that the DL scheduler ended up using inconsistent DRX parameters. This caused the call to be dropped. How end user/operator could detect the problem: Call dropped. Description of the fault: When the DRX parameters are reconfigured, we have a transient phase in the ENB because it is not known when exactly the UE takes the new DRX parameters into use. During this transient phase the ENB tries to use a safe combination of the old and new DRX parameters to avoid that the UE is scheduled while it is DRX sleep. Due to a bug in MAC PS it could happen that after the transient phase was over the DRX short cycle timer continued running for ever with the old DRX offset. This lead to lots of allocations during DRX sleep and the call was dropped. Dependency on configuration: Only occurs if smart DRX is enabled. Faulty component and version: SW component and version where problem occurred first time, if problem occurred in different branches based on different versions then all first broken versions for each branches shall be listed Workaround: Disable Smart DRX feature (LTE585). Description of the correction: Don't start the DRX short cycle timer during the DRX reconfiguration transient phase. Corrected Fault Reports: NA05831781 UE stuck in OutOfSync

Title: VoLTE calls DL data transfer stalls Version of the SW-build: LN7.0_ENB_1407_572_04 Valid for Product(s): Flexi LTE Base Station References: Reason for the Change Note: Summary of the original problem: VoLTE calls DL data transfer stalls Description of the problem: When total number of data UEs with data in buffer rises, voice UEs are no longer scheduled in DL. How end user/operator could detect the problem: Pings from voice UEs no longer received. Description of the fault: Voice UEs were not getting passed from DL pre-scheduler to DL TD scheduler. UEs are not prioritised in the MAC PS DL pre-scheduler, but rather only once they get to the TD scheduler. In the TD scheduler a GBR UE will overtake a non-GBR UE. However, what was happening here is that a VoLTE waking up out of DRX sleep on the first TTI of the DRX on duration was written to the end of the pre-scheduler candidate list. The DL pre-scheduler processes this list in round-robin fashion, and sends up to 50 UEs (but fewer in case of high CPU load) to the TD scheduler every TTI for further processing, the so-called CS1 list. When the candidate list gets longer than 4 * length of the CS1 list (from drxOnDuratT=4), then the VoLTE UE still will not have reached the front of the pre-scheduler candidate list before the DRX on duration expires, i.e. it doesn’t even reach the TD scheduler. Dependency on configuration: Problem only occurs with small values of drxOnDuratT, under 10 ms. Faulty component and version: Present in all releases. Workaround: drxOnDuratT greater than or equal to 10 Description of the correction:

How end user/operator could detect the problem: Site Manager reports BTS SW download or activation failure. Description of the fault: Activation failure due to a failure to sign a new U-Boot image.

Faulty component and version: LNP8_PS_REL_2014_05_327 Faulty component first delivered in(e.g. release, CD): LNF7.0 Workaround: A BTS site reset should allow the next SW upgrade/activation attempt to succeed. A power cycle may be necessary in case a BTS site reset does not resolve the issue. Description of the correction: The U-Boot signing procedure was enhanced to retry up to 2 additional times using different temporary directories (located in different file system partitions) in case the first attempt fails. Additional logging and debug information was added. The root cause for the failure is unknown. However the correction will attempt to eliminate a possible scenario where signing of the U-Boot image would have failed due to a problem with the /tmp file system (which is used by other applications or may be used by anyone logged in with a service account on the system). Low risk of correction. The U-Boot signing process will function the same way as before except in the case of failure. In that case, an alternate temporary directory will be used to attempt the signing process again. The signing process itself is unchanged. Correction effects:

Version of the SW-build: LNF7.0_ENB_1407_150_14 Valid for Product(s): FlexiZone Micro References: Reason for the Change Note: Summary of the original problem: The FZP GNSS receiver reports a high antenna LNA following receiver firmware version 16 upgrade. The problem is caused by a defect in the vendor version 16 firmware where an antenna over-current condition is reported while the actual antenna current level is normal. Further investigation however has shown that the actual antenna current is not a factor since the Foxconn designed FZP GNSS receiver does not include the hardware to measure antenna current. The FZP GNSS receiver utilizes the Furuno 64-pin OPUS-7 GNSS receiver ASIC. This firmware defect is not present in the 141-pin OPUS-7 and OPUS-5 ASIC’s used on the FZM platform. The FZM GPS/GNSS receiver design does support the ability to measure antenna over-current. The GPS over-current functionality on the FZM is operating properly. How end user/operator could detect the problem: The 6803: EFaultId_GpsAntennaCurrentHighAl fault is reported by an FZP that is operating with the Furuno version 16 firmware. The actual antenna current is not a factor. Description of the fault: The Furuno OPUS-7 ASIC supports the ability to report on the power provided to the externally connected antenna through the following possible conditions: No-voltage, under-current, normal current, over-current. The FZM / FZP SyncApp only supports provisions to read the over-current report. The Furuno version 16 (and some previous firmware versions) improperly report the antenna LNA supply conditions where the bit setting inputs to the OPUS-7 ASIC that represent a normal operating current result in the reporting of an over-current condition by the ASIC. Dependency on configuration: This problem is present on the FZP platform with Furuno receiver’s operating with the version 16 firmware. The problem does not affect the FZM. Faulty component and version: Furuno version 16 firmware running on the FZP GNSS receiver.

Faulty component first delivered in(e.g. release, CD): The affected Furuno version 16 firmware is being deployed on all FZP software releases. Workaround: If the GNSS antenna is properly functioning (despite the reported 6803 fault) normal eNodeB operation should be experienced and the fault can be ignored. Description of the correction: Since the FZP hardware does not support the ability to monitor the GNSS antenna current software will be modified to disable the ability to report the 6803 fault on the FZP. Risk analysis of the correction: The correction involves the masking of the FZP’s ability to report the 6803 fault. This correction poses no risk as the FZP hardware does not support detection of the 6803 fault. If an actual GNSS antenna problem were to exist a loss of satellite reception fault would be reported notifying the customer of the hardware problem.

Title: FZM reboots due to "BUG: soft lockup - CPU# stuck" after TL15A to RL55 backout Version of the SW-build: LNF7.0_ENB_1407_150_14 Valid for Product(s): FlexiZone Micro References: Reason for the Change Note: Summary of the original problem: gpio-keystone driver doesn't acknowledge hIRQ in case if there is no vIRQ associated with it. It causes gpio irqs to stop firing and eventually leads to soft lockup and watchdog reset. Workaround: Acknowledge hIRQ in case if there is no vIRQ associated with it. Faulty component first delivered in(e.g. release, CD): Acknowledge hardware IRQ even if there no virtual IRQ's associated with it.
