Page 8: Configuring hsdpa and eul

Configuring HSDPA and EUL

To manually configure the RBS software for HSDPA and EUL, do the following:

1. Connect the client to the RBS according to Hardware MaintenanceInstructions.

2. Start the RBS EM according to Installing an Element ManagementApplication.

2.3.1 Configuring HSDPA and EUL Processing Resources

This section contains instructions on how to configure HSDPA and EULprocessing resources on High-Speed (HS) capable on DUWs(DU-based RBS).

Information on determining required number of processing resources can befound in Section 3 on page 14.

More specific information on HSDPA and EUL processing resourceconfiguration can be found in Section 3.1 on page 14.

Configuring HSDPA and EUL resources (this section) and allocating them tocells as described in Section 2.3.2 on page 5 can also be performed using theSite Equipment Configuration wizard, refer to Element Manager Wizards.

Note: When the Increased Cell Carrier Support for DUW feature isenabled, and two Baseband Pools (BBPs) are used in DUW 30,the allocation of HSDPA processing resources is based on theBBP. The DownlinkBaseBandPool::numHsCodeResourcesattribute specifies the number of HSDPA processing resource.The number of EUL processing resource is indicated by theTxDeviceGroup::staticNumEulResources attribute.

DUW 11, DUW 31, and DUW 41 have a fixed number ofHSDPA and EUL processing resources as indicated by theattributes TxDeviceGroup::staticNumHsCodeResources andTxDeviceGroup::staticNumEulResources. The numbers aredependent on the DUW variant. There is no need to manually configureHSDPA and EUL Processing Resources for DUW 11, DUW 31, andDUW 41, which means that the HS and EUL configuration can begreatly simplified for DUW 11, DUW 31, and DUW 41 compared toDUW 10, DUW 20, and DUW 30.

To configure the processing resources do the following:

1. In the RBS EM, lock the TX part of the DUW to be configured following theinstructions in Lock Board.

2. In the RBS EM, modify the attribute values in Table 1 for the DUW to beconfigured.

3 Capacity Configuration

This section contains information on how capacity configuration works,attributes related to capacity configuration and licenses required for capacityconfiguration.

3.1 Processing Resource Configuration

This section describes the configuration of HSDPA and EUL processingresources on DUWs.

For RBSs with two DUWs, the processing resources must be configuredseparately for each DUW. More information on how the boards are divided intoBBPs, refer to RBS Configurations.

The Increased Cell Carrier Support for DUW feature enables up to 12 cellcarriers on one DUW, by dividing the BB hardware into two logical BBPs. Whenthis feature is enabled, the processing resources are divided equally betweentwo BBPs on the DUW automatically. For DUW 30 used as a primary DUW (ora single DUW), the HSDPA processing resources are configured for each BBP.

3.1.1 HSDPA Processing Resources

A DUW can be configured with a different number of HSDPA processingresources depending on the variant. Details for each variant can be foundin the DU description documents, listed in Section 1.1.2 on page 1. Thenumber of resources to be configured for each DUW is controlled by theTxDeviceGroup::numHsCodeResources attribute. Each configuredprocessing resource decreases the total Channel Element (CE) capacityavailable for R99, see Section 3.6 on page 21.

For DUW 30 used as a primary DUW (or a single DUW), whenthe Increased Cell Carrier Support for DUW feature is enabled, theHSDPA processing resource is allocated based on the BB pool. TheDownlinkBaseBandPool::numHsCodeResources attribute specifies thenumber of HSDPA processing resource. For detailed information, refer toWCDMA RAN Increased Cell Carrier Support for DUW document.

For DUW 11, DUW 31, and DUW 41, the number of HSDPA processingresources is fixed and depends on the DUW variant. The attributeTxDeviceGroup::staticNumHsCodeResources indicates this numberof resources, with the value 1, 6 and 6 for DUW 11, DUW 31, and DUW 41respectively. For details of DUW 11, DUW 31, and DUW 41, refer to DigitalUnit Description.

Page 19: Configuring hsdpa and eul

Capacity Configuration

3.1.2 EUL Processing Resources

One DUW in an RBS can be configured with an EUL processing resource. Thisis controlled by the TxDeviceGroup::numEulResources attribute.

There must be at least one HSDPA processing resource configured in thesame BB pool where the EUL resource is configured.

The use of EUL requires the Enhanced Uplink Introduction Package license.

The use of two DUWs requires the EUL For Large RBS Configurations license.

For DUW 11, DUW 31, and DUW 41, the number of EUL processingresources is fixed and depends on the DUW variant. The attributeTxDeviceGroup::staticNumEulResources indicates this number ofresources, with the value 1, 1 and 1 for DUW 11, DUW 31, and DUW 41respectively. For details of DUW 11, DUW 31, and DUW 41, refer to DigitalUnit Description.

For DUW 30, DUW 31, and DUW 41 used as a primary DUW (or a single DUW),and when the Increased Cell Carrier Support for DUW feature is enabled, theTxDeviceGroup::numEulResources attribute is ignored. Instead, theTxDeviceGroup::staticNumEulResources attribute with the value 2, isused to reflect the number of EUL processing resources configured for theDUWs. Each BBP is automatically granted one EUL processing resource. Fordetailed information, refer to WCDMA RAN Increased Cell Carrier Support forDUW document.

3.2 HSDPA Processing Resource Allocation

Allocating HSDPA processing resources to specific cells can be done in twoways: steered allocation and automatic allocation.

Note: For DUW 11, DUW 31, and DUW 41, automatic allocation is alwaysused and enabled by default, see Section 3.2.2 on page 16. Thefunction steered HS allocation is not implemented since it is not neededfor DUW 11, DUW 31, and DUW 41.

When the feature HSDPA MC Inter DU Joint Scheduling is activated,automatic allocation is always used.

When the Increased Cell Carrier Support for DUW feature is enabled,steered allocation is not recommended. For the primary DUW (or asingle DUW) where the Increased Cell Carrier Support for DUW featureis used together with the HSDPA MC Inter DU Joint Scheduling feature,automatic allocation is always used.

Using steered allocation is recommended for configurations where the numberof HSDPA codes differ between the configured cells.

3.2.1 Steered Allocation

Steered allocation enables the allocation of specific HSDPA processingresources to one or several specific cells in the same DUW. HSDPA processingresources on a DUW can be shared by up to six cells.

In DU-based RBS if there are two HSDPA processing resources configured ona DUW and there are six cells connected to this DUW, the allocation can beconfigured as demonstrated in example in Table 5.

Table 5 Steered Configuration Example for DU-based RBS

DUW Processing Resource Cell

1 1, 2, 3, 41

2 5, 6

Steered allocation is enabled by setting the NodeBFunction::steeredHsAllocation attribute value to True. In the steered allocation mode, cell carriersin one combined cell must use the same HSDPA code resource, that is, thevalue of hsCodeResourceId attribute must be the same.

For a DU-based RBS, the processing resources are assigned ID numbersfrom 1 to value of the TxDeviceGroup::numHsCodeResources attributefor that DUW.

The RbsLocalCell::hsCodeResourceId attribute value is set to the IDnumber of the HSDPA processing resource to be used for that cell, or to 0 todisable HSDPA and EUL in the cell.

3.2.2 Automatic Allocation

Automatic allocation allows the RBS to automatically distribute the availableHSDPA processing resources over all cells in the same BB pool or DUW, tomaximize load sharing.

Automatic allocation is enabled by setting the NodeBFunction::steeredHsAllocation attribute value to False.

3.2.3 Automatic Allocation for Multi Carrier

If the Multi Carrier feature is activated in any of the cells in the RBS, the processof automatic allocation is modified. In this case automatic allocation by theRBS places the configured HSDPA cells configured in the same sector onthe same HSDPA processing resource. If automatic configuration for the MultiCarrier cannot be resolved, the RBS distributes the cells over the availableHSDPA processing resources to maximize load sharing.

16 5/1553-LZA 701 6003 Uen Y | 2015-05-12

Page 21: Configuring hsdpa and eul

Capacity Configuration

Note: The configured HSDPA cells can be combined cells residing in multiplesector or cells belonging to one sector. For the concept of combinedcell, refer to WCDMA RAN Combined Cell document. For the combinedcell, on condition that one of its sectors is the same as the sector ofother cells, the automatic allocation assigns these cells to the sameHSDPA processing resource.

It is recommended that the number of sectors is the same as the number ofHSDPA processing resources when automatic allocation is used for the MultiCarrier feature.

There is a possibility that Multi Carrier configuration cannot be used and allsectors cannot obtain Multi Carrier configuration if there are not enough HSDPAprocessing resources. In these cases it is recommended to unlock the HsDschManaged Objects (MOs) in the Radio Network Controller (RNC) related tothe sectors with multiple carriers first and then the HsDsch MOs in the RNCrelated to the sectors with a single carrier. This action ensures the allocationof resources to sectors with multiple carriers first.

Changing the featureStateHsdpaMc attribute does not trigger Multi Carrierreconfiguration. The operator must lock and unlock the HsDsch MO in theRNC to start the reconfiguration. It is possible to observe the outcome of thereconfiguration in the hsdpaMcCapability read-only attribute in the RBS. Noalarms are generated if Multi Carrier configuration fails.

3.2.4 Automatic Allocation for HSDPA Multi Carrier Inter DU JointScheduling

If the HSDPA Multi Carrier Inter DU Joint Scheduling feature is activated in theRBS, the automatic allocation performed by the RBS places the configuredHSDPA cells according to Table 6, Table 7 and Table 8. For the configurationsin the tables, cells that belong to the same sector, sectorGroup, or both arespread across different HS processing resources. This means that if a MC useris scheduled on both the serving cell and the secondary serving cell and thetwo cells are handled by different HS processing resources, the L1 user datacoding for both the serving cell and the secondary serving cell is performed onthe HS processing resource on which the serving cell is allocated. Thereforecode resources must also be reserved for cells belonging to the same sector,sectorGroup, or both but handled by another HS processing resource. TheL1 resources for the secondary serving cell will in these cases be denotedwith ‘s’ in the tables and in the following figure showing a 3x2 configurationon 2xDUWv1.

Configuring HSDPA and EUL

3.3 Number of HSDPA Codes

A maximum of 15 HSDPA codes can be used in each cell. This number isalso dependent on processing resource configurations and installed licensesas indicated in this section.

To configure more than 20 HSDPA codes shared by two cells for single-carrierusers, the Increased Number of HSDPA Codes for Single-Carrier Users licenseis required.

To configure more than 15 HSDPA codes shared by two cells for single-carrierMIMO dual stream users, the Increased Number of HSDPA Codes forSingle-Carrier Users license is required.

For DU-based RBSs, each HSDPA processing resource supports up to 30codes to be shared by up to six cells.

To increase the number of HS codes for each HSDPA processing resource forDU-based RBSs, the Increased HSDPA Code Capacity on DUW license isrequired.

It changes the maximum number of HS codes as follows:

• from 30 to 60 codes for DUW 10, DUW 20, DUW 30 and DUW 31, DUW 41

• from 30 to 90 codes for DUW 11

The maximum number of HSDPA codes that can be allocated to each cell isdetermined by the RbsLocalCell::maxNumHsPdschCodes attribute.

To configure more than five HSDPA codes in a cell, the HSDPA Codes per celllicense with the required number of codes is necessary. The number of HSDPAcodes allocated to a specific cell is fixed. This means that a cell requiringmore codes than allocated cannot use currently unused codes allocated toother cells. To allow code sharing between cells, the HSDPA Dynamic CodeAllocation feature, described in Section 3.4 on page 20, can be used.

For configurations used when the feature HSDPA MC Inter DU Joint Schedulingis active, the number of required codes per configuration can be found inSection 3.2.4 on page 17.

3.4 Dynamic HSDPA Code Allocation

Dynamic HSDPA Code Allocation allows a cell to use HSDPA codes currentlynot used in other cells that share the same HSDPA processing resource.However, a cell can still not use more than a total of 15 codes at a time.

For DU-based RBSs, 30 codes can be shared between the two cells in asimilar way. For more examples, see the typical configurations in Section 3.9on page 23 using Dynamic HSDPA Code Allocation. The number of additional

20 5/1553-LZA 701 6003 Uen Y | 2015-05-12

Page 25: Configuring hsdpa and eul

Capacity Configuration

HSDPA codes that can be used in this way also depends on the number ofchannelization codes used by other channels in the cell.

However, when the feature HSDPA MC Inter DU Joint Scheduling is activated,the number of required codes will increase according to Section 3.2.4 on page17. The dynamic HSDPA Code Allocation will consider codes for both servingcells and secondary serving cells when the feature HSDPA Inter DU JointScheduling is activated.

The RbsLocalCell::featureStateHsdpaDynamicCodeAllocationattribute controls if the feature is enabled. The HSDPA Dynamic CodeAllocation license is required.

Activating the feature Increased HSDPA Code Capacity on DUW for DU-basedRBS, the number of codes for each HSDPA processing resource can beincreased as follows:

• from 30 to 60 codes for DUW 10, DUW 20, DUW 30 and DUW 31, DUW 41

• from 30 to 90 codes for DUW 11

The cases when it is possible to share codes between cells on an HSDPAprocessing resource are diminished. With more codes available for eachHSDPA processing resource, code sharing is only needed when more than fourcells are configured on an HSDPA processing resource.

3.5 Number of HSDPA Users

For DU-based RBSs, each resource supports up to 128 users. For RBS 6501,only 64 users are supported for each resource.

The maximum number of HSDPA users that a cell is allowed to serve isdetermined by the value of the RbsLocalCell::maxNumHsdpaUsersattribute.

To configure more than 16 HSDPA users in a cell, the HSDPA Users per celllicense with the required number of users is necessary.

3.6 HSDPA CE Consumption

The amount of CE reserved for HSDPA users is taken from the R99 DedicatedChannel (DCH) resources. This section describes how to determine the amountof CE reserved by default and how to limit this amount.

For RBSs with two BB pools the board slot positions determine how CEs areallocated for each BB pool.

215/1553-LZA 701 6003 Uen Y | 2015-05-12

Page 26: Configuring hsdpa and eul

Configuring HSDPA and EUL

3.6.1 CE Consumption in DU-based RBSs

By default, the amount of CE that is reserved for HSDPA in a DUW equals thelowest of the following:

• 0.5 × 1.3 × sum of the values of the RbsLocalCell::maxNumHsdpaUsersattributes for all cells.

• 0.5 × 1.3 × number of configured HSDPA processing resources × themaximum HSDPA users supported by each HSDPA processing resource

Note: When calculating the amount of HSDPA processing resourcethat is served for HSDPA in a DUW for a combined cell, the0.5 factor in the equations above is changed to 1. The value ofRbsLocalCell::maxNumHsdpaUsers attribute needs to be set to alower value, to ensure that the capacity is enough for R99. For moreinformation, refer to WCDMA RAN Combined Cell document.

If the value of the RbsLocalCell::maxNumHsdpaUsers attribute isset higher than the HSDPA Users per cell license currently allows,the licensed value is used.

The 1.3 factor is applied to provide a capacity margin for soft handovers.

A DUW can be configured as described in the following example:

• Three cells are configured with RbsLocalCell::maxNumHsdpaUsersall set to 16.

• One HSDPA processing resource is used.

• The licensed value of HSDPA Users per cell is 32.

The reserved amount is by default the lowest of 0.5 ×1.3 × (16 + 16 + 16) = 32and 0.5 ×1.3 × 1 × 128 = 83, that is 32 CEs.

3.6.2 CE Consumption Limitation

To free resources for R99 DCH traffic and limit the number of CEs reserved forHSDPA in a DUW, the DownlinkBaseBandPool::maxNumADchReservation attribute can be used. The value of this attribute is the maximum amount ofCEs that can be reserved for A-DCH in the DUW. Reducing the attribute belowthe default reservation level frees resources for R99 DCH traffic.

3.7 Number of EUL Users

The maximum number of EUL users for each cell is 96. EUL can be configuredin two DUWs if the EUL in 2 BB pools feature is activated. The maximum totalnumber of EUL users for each BB pool is 256.

22 5/1553-LZA 701 6003 Uen Y | 2015-05-12

Page 27: Configuring hsdpa and eul

Capacity Configuration

The maximum number of EUL users in a cell is determined by the value of theRbsLocalCell::maxNumEulUsers attribute. To configure more than fourEUL users in a cell, the EUL Users per cell license with the required numberof users is necessary.

When the EUL Multi-Carrier feature is activated, the secondary UL carrier istreated as one user.

3.8 EUL FACH HW Resources

The maximum number of HW resources for EUL FACH for each cell isdetermined by MOM parameter eulFachNumOfDecoders. The parameterdimensions the number of UEs that can transmit data on EUL FACHsimultaneously in a cell.

3.9 Typical Configurations

This section contains some typical configurations.

3.9.1 DU-based RBSs

The examples in Table 9, Table 10 and Table 11 show configurations forDUW 10, DUW 20, and DUW 30. For DUW 11, DUW 31, and DUW 41, thecalculations are done in exactly the same way, although the capacity figures aredifferent and the number of processing resources is fixed. For DUW 11, DUW31, DUW 41, and the internal DU in RBS 6501, the number of CE available forR99 is 65, 643, 643, and 54 CE respectively, see Table 12 and Table 11. Fordetails of DUW 11, DUW 31, and DUW 41, refer to Digital Unit Description.

4.9 HSDPA Multi Carrier

The Multi Carrier feature allows for transmission of the user data on HSDPAto a UE over two cell carriers within the same sector, which increases thedownlink user bit rate. The support of the Multi Carrier feature complies withthe following rules:

• For the DUW-based RBS configurations using FAJ 121 2709: HSDPA MCInter DU Joint Scheduling, the Multi Carrier feature is always supported.However, when FAJ 121 3928: Increased Cell Carrier Support for DUW isused, for the secondary DUW in a dual-DUW configuration, the support ofthe Multi Carrier feature follows the rules for the RBS configurations withoutusing the HSDPA MC Inter DU Joint Scheduling feature.

• For the DUW-based RBS configurations without using the HSDPA MCInter DU Joint Scheduling feature, the Multi Carrier feature depends onthe following DUW variants:

� The DUW 10, DUW 20, and DUW 30 variants support the steeredallocation of HSDPA processing resources to one or several specificcells in the same BBP.

• When the steered allocation is activated by setting theNodeBFunction::steeredHsAllocation attribute to True,the Multi Carrier feature is supported only on the processingresources allocated with two frequencies.

• When the steered allocation is deactivated by setting theNodeBFunction::steeredHsAllocation attribute to False,so that the automatic allocation is used, the Multi Carrier feature issupported only on the BBPs allocated with two frequencies.

� The DUW 11, DUW 31, and DUW 41 variants support only theautomatic allocation of processing resources, so the Multi Carrierfeature is supported only on the BBPs allocated with two frequencies.

Setting up a Radio Access Bearer (RAB) type that includes both the MultiCarrier and the MIMO features is supported for DUW-based RBSs.
