This describes how to use the CME to configure a new site, that is, the NodeB, during network
construction or network optimization.
Purpose
NOTE
This document describes the following models of NodeBs: BTS3812E, BTS3812A, BTS3812AE,
DBS3800, and iDBS3800.
During network deployment or network optimization, you need to prepare the configuration file
for each NodeB and load the file to the NodeB in commissioning so as to ensure that the NodeB
works as designed.
This document serves as a guideline on how to configure the initial data for the NodeB. The
content involves two parts. That is, how to prepare data for NodeB initial configuration and how
to add data to the NodeB through manual operations, template files, and configuration files. In
addition, this document also provides the reference information for the configuration.

This describes how to configure the NodeB through the template file if the configuration type
of the NodeB is one of the typical configuration types of the template file.
Definition
A NodeB template file contains a set of recommended data that is predefined with common
configuration types, demodulation modes, and Iub transmission modes to simplify NodeB data
configuration.
The NodeB template file contains a large number of default parameters.
The NodeB template file is of the following two types:
l Template file provided with the CME software. It cannot be deleted.
l User-defined template file. After configuring the NodeB data, you can save the data
configuration as a template, which serves as a data source for future data configuration.
WARNING
The default NodeB template provided by the CME cannot be modified.
Application Scenario
During NodeB initial configuration on the CME, import a NodeB template file according to the
NodeB type. The NodeB template file facilitates NodeB data configuration.
Obtaining Method
The NodeB template file is provided with the CME software. The file is available at CME
installation directory\WRANCMEV100R005\template\NodeB.
The NodeB template file is named in the form of transport protocol type_demodulation
mode_sector quantity_frequency quantity_transmit diversity mode.xml, for example,
ATM_2-Channels Demodulation_3_1_Transmitter Non_diversity.xml.
You can also name a NodeB template file in your own way.
You can reconfigure a NodeB template file and export it. For details, refer to Exporting a NodeB
Template File.

Optional
NOTE
l Whether to connect the RNC and the NodeB directly depends on actual scenarios. The Iub refreshing
function does not check whether the RNC and the NodeB are directly connected.
l When data on both the RNC and the NodeB is carried over E1/T1 or optical port in the ATM transport
mode and the RNC is connected to the NodeB through an ATM switch. The Iub refreshing function
determines that the NodeB and the RNC are directly connected. The Iub refreshing function is
supported. The accuracy of refreshed data, however, cannot be guaranteed owing to the ATM switch.
Therefore, use the ATM switch with caution.
l Before the refreshing, consistency check will be executed over the Iub interface. That is, check that the
version of the RNC matches that of the NodeB. If the versions on both the NodeB and the RNC sides
match, the data over the Iub interface on the RNC side can be synchronized to the NodeB side. For the
matching relations, refer to Figure 4-4.

Optional
NOTE
l Whether to connect the RNC and the NodeB directly depends on actual scenarios. The Iub refreshing
function does not check whether the RNC and the NodeB are directly connected.
l When data on both the RNC and the NodeB is carried over E1/T1 or optical port in the ATM transport
mode and the RNC is connected to the NodeB through an ATM switch. The Iub refreshing function
determines that the NodeB and the RNC are directly connected. The Iub refreshing function is
supported. The accuracy of refreshed data, however, cannot be guaranteed owing to the ATM switch.
Therefore, use the ATM switch with caution.
l Before the refreshing, consistency check will be executed over the Iub interface. That is, check that the
version of the RNC matches that of the NodeB. If the versions on both the NodeB and the RNC sides
match, the data over the Iub interface on the RNC side can be synchronized to the NodeB side. For the
matching relations, refer to Figure 5-3.

l When configuring the downlink resource group, check that local cells pertaining to this resource group
should be added to boards within the range of the resource group.
l The downlink processing units involved in the downlink resource group should pertain to an uplink
resource group. Otherwise, the alarm, informing that the downlink resource group is not a subset of
the uplink resource group, will be reported.
l A maximum of six cells can be processed in a single uplink or downlink baseband resource group.
When more than six cells are to be processed, you need to divide the baseband resources into groups
by adhering to the following policies:
l Each uplink resource group processes a maximum of six cells.
l Softer handover occurs between the cells that belong to one uplink resource group. Intra-frequency
cells should be allocated in the same uplink resource group.
l When the previous policies are met, the number of resource groups should be as small as possible.
For instance, it is unnecessary to divide the 3 x 2 configuration into two resource groups. In this
case, only one resource group is required. That is, one resource group consisting of two carriers,
six cells in total.
NOTE
When using the CMB, CMB data source such as TV channels of all or part of the cells within a NodeB is
the same. If all data sources are transferred over the Iub interface, it is a waste for the Iub resource. With
the duplication function of the CME FACH, identical data sources are overlapped and will be transferred
over the Iub interface as one data source. The NodeB fulfills the duplication of the CMB data between
cells. One source FACH and several corresponding destination FACHs form a CMB FACH group.

For instance, it is unnecessary to divide the 3 x 2 configuration into two resource groups. In this
case, only one resource group is required. That is, one resource group consisting of two carriers,
six cells in total.
NOTE
When using the CMB, CMB data source such as TV channels of all or part of the cells within a NodeB is
the same. If all data sources are transferred over the Iub interface, it is a waste for the Iub resource. With
the duplication function of the CME FACH, identical data sources are overlapped and will be transferred
over the Iub interface as one data source. The NodeB fulfills the duplication of the CMB data between
cells. One source FACH and several corresponding destination FACHs form a CMB FACH group.

Therefore, use the ATM switch with caution.
l Before the refreshing, consistency check will be executed over the Iub interface. That is, check that the
version of the RNC matches that of the NodeB. If the versions on both the NodeB and the RNC sides
match, the data over the Iub interface on the RNC side can be synchronized to the NodeB side. For the
matching relations, refer to Figure 6-75.

This provides the related concepts to be referenced during the process of the NodeB initial
configuration.
RF Resources of Sectors
The NodeB provides RF resources of cells. Figure 7-2 shows the physical RF resources mapped
to a NodeB from sectors. Each sector uses one directional antenna. Each directional antenna
provides 2-way receive channels to enhance the receiving sensitivity, and the two channels work
in mutual receive diversity mode.
l RF modules of a distributed NodeB are the RRU and PicoRRU (PRRU).
l RF modules of a macro NodeB are the MAFU and MTRU. The MAFU and MTRU work
in pairs.
Figure 7-2 shows the mapping between the sectors and the RF module for a 2-carrier NodeB in
2-way receive diversity mode. The mapping may vary with the NodeB configuration. Figure
7-3 shows the rules of the mapping between BTS3812E sectors and MAFUs and MTRUs.
l 1MAFU+1MTRU for one sector: The NodeB supports 6 sectors. This mode supports 1-
carrier or 2-carrier 1T2R configuration.
l 2MAFUs+2MTRUs for one sector: The NodeB supports three sectors. This mode supports
1-carrier or 2-carrier 1T2R or 2T2R configuration, and 3-carrier or 4-carrier 1T2R
configuration. You may change the external interface connections of the MTRUs and
MAFUs so that this sector mode can support 1-carrier or 2-carrier 2T4R configuration.
l 4MAFUs+4MTRUs for one sector: The NodeB supports one to three sectors. A combined
cabinet is required when there are more than one sector. This mode supports 3-carrier or
4-carrier 2T4R configuration.
Figure 7-3 Rules of the mapping between NodeB sectors and MAFUs or MTRUs
l GEN_POOL: indicates the uplink and downlink baseband resource pool that consists of
the HBBI, HULP, and HDLP. This type of resource pool is commonly used. When the
resource pool is used, you must specify uplink baseband resource groups.
l GRP_POOL: indicates the uplink and downlink baseband resource pool that consists of the
HBOI in slot 15. When the resource pool is used, you do not need to specify uplink baseband
resource groups.
The NodeB divides the uplink baseband resources into different groups, which are called uplink
baseband resource groups. The uplink baseband resource groups have the following features and
requirements:
l One uplink baseband resource group consists of one or more uplink processing units. One
uplink processing unit corresponds to one HBBI/HBOI/HULP board or one BBU module.
l The cells in one uplink baseband resource group share the uplink resources. Each uplink
baseband resource group supports a maximum of 6 cells in 2-way and enhanced 2-way
modes. Each uplink baseband resource group supports a maximum of three cells in 4-way
and economic 4-way modes.
l The softer handover can be performed between the cells in the same uplink baseband
resource group. You need to add the intra-frequency cells to the same group.
l Keep the number of resource groups as small as possible. For example, for a 3 x 4 NodeB,
divide the resource pool into two groups, each of which supports 6 cells.
Local Cell
A local cell is a combination of physical resources, such as hardware and software resources, in
a cell of a NodeB. A local cell is related to the physical implementation of a device.
NodeBs from different vendors have different ways of providing physical resources for cells.
Therefore, the concept of logical cell is proposed in the 3GPP to ensure that the RNC can control
the radio resources in certain cells through the standard Iub interface. These cells are carried on
NodeBs from different vendors.
Logical Cell
A logical cell is a standard logical model that helps the RNC control the radio resources in a
cell. The model is independent of the implementation of local cells in the NodeB, and ensures
that the Iub interface is an open interface.
The parameters of a local cell are configured at and managed by the NodeB. The parameters of
a logical cell are configured at and managed by the RNC. A logical cell and a local cell have the
one-to-one correspondence.

This describes the functions of the ATM user plane, ATM control plane, and ATM management
plane.
Table 7-1 describes the functions of the ATM user plane, ATM control plane, and ATM
management plane.
Table 7-1 Functions of the ATM user plane, ATM control plane, and ATM management plane
Plane Function
User plane The user plane transfers user data, such as protocol data and voice
data.
Control plane The control plane transfers signaling messages, such as connection
setup and connection release.
Management Plane The management plane transfers network OM data. This plane is
classified into the layer management part and the plane management
part. The former is responsible for intra-layer management, and the
latter for inter-layer management.
NOTE
As stated in the ATM protocols, the AAL and higher layers process the data on the control plane and the
user plane in different ways. The ATM layer and the physical layer, however, process the data on the two
planes in the same way.

7.3.1.1 PPP
This describes the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). The PPP is used at the data link layer. The PPP
provides standard methods for encapsulating the multi-protocol datagrams on point-to-point
links. These datagrams include IP, IPX, and Apple Talk.
7.3.1.2 MP
This describes the Multilink PPP (MP). With the wide application of the PPP, the MP emerges
as an extended protocol of the PPP. The MP provides a large bandwidth to enable quick data
transfer. In addition, the MP dynamically allocates the link resources to effectively save the
valuable resources.
7.3.1.3 PPPoE
This describes the PPPoE protocol. It is a standard that defines how multiple hosts are connected
to a remote Access Concentration (AC) in a broadcasting-type network (for example Ethernet).
When the PPPoE is used in the RAN system, multiple NodeBs are connected to the RNC through
the access equipment.
7.3.1.4 EtherIP
This describes the EtherIP link. It is connected to the Ethernet, and the relay boards use the FE
ports.
PPP
This describes the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). The PPP is used at the data link layer. The PPP
provides standard methods for encapsulating the multi-protocol datagrams on point-to-point
links. These datagrams include IP, IPX, and Apple Talk.
Figure 7-5 shows the hierarchy of the PPP.
The PPP consists of the link control protocol (LCP), network control protocol (NCP), and
extended protocols. They are described as follows:
l LCP: used to configure, test, or remove a data link.
l NCP: used to configure parameters at the network layer for communications between the
equipment.
l Extended protocols, such as the multilink protocol (MP): The PPP combines multiple
physical links into a logical link through the MP, thus providing a large bandwidth and
enabling fast data transfer. Huawei RNC implements the MP by adding MLPPP data.
MP
This describes the Multilink PPP (MP). With the wide application of the PPP, the MP emerges
as an extended protocol of the PPP. The MP provides a large bandwidth to enable quick data
transfer. In addition, the MP dynamically allocates the link resources to effectively save the
valuable resources.
The MP can flexibly arrange multiple independent physical links between point-to-point
systems. It provides a virtual link for the whole system, and the bandwidth of the virtual link is
the sum of bandwidths of the N (N ≥ 1) physical links.
With the development of network technologies, bandwidth is no longer a bottleneck. Therefore,
the extended protocols of the PPP are not required.
PPPoE
This describes the PPPoE protocol. It is a standard that defines how multiple hosts are connected
to a remote Access Concentration (AC) in a broadcasting-type network (for example Ethernet).
When the PPPoE is used in the RAN system, multiple NodeBs are connected to the RNC through
the access equipment.
In this network topology, all hosts can independently initialize PPP protocol stacks, and perform
charging and management for the subscribers on this network. To set up and maintain the point-
to-point relations between hosts and the AC in a broadcasting-type network, each host should
be able to set up a unique point-to-point session with the AC.
EtherIP
This describes the EtherIP link. It is connected to the Ethernet, and the relay boards use the FE
ports.
When IP_RAN is selected as the transmission mode of the NodeB, the NodeB can be configured
with the following four links:
l PPP
l MP
l PPPoE
l EtherIP
PPP and MP links are connected to the dedicated line network, and the relay boards use the E1/
T1 ports. PPPoE and EtherIP links are connected to the Ethernet, and the relay boards use the
FE ports.
7.3.2 IP
This describes the Internet Protocol (IP). It provides a connectionless service between networks
and defines the rules and details for data communication. It is used along with the Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) to provide guaranteed data transfer.
IP Address Structure
In an IP network, IP addresses should be assigned to hosts. If you connect a computer to the
Internet, you need to apply for an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP).
The length of the IP address is 32 bits. The IP address consists of the following parts:
l Network number (net-id): The first bits are called class segments (class bits) that are used
to identify the class of an IP address.
l Host number (host-id): indicates different hosts in the same network.
IP Address Classification
IP addresses are categorized into five classes, as shown in Figure 7-6. You can identify an IP
address class by its first few bits.
The IP addresses of classes A, B, and C are most commonly used. IP addresses of class D are
used for multicasting. IP addresses of class E are reserved. For details, refer to the RFC1166
Internet Numbers released by IETF.
IP Address Range
Some IP addresses are reserved for special purposes. Table 7-3 describes the ranges of IP
addresses.
7.3.3 SCTP
This describes the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). It is mainly used for
transmitting reliable datagrams through an unreliable network.
Provides the signaling transmission of higher requirements for real-time performance, security,
and reliability.
SCTP Endpoint
The SCTP endpoint is the logical transmitter or receiver of SCTP packets.
The SCTP endpoint on a multi-homing host can be either a group of valid destination transport
addresses for data transmission to the peer host, or a group of valid originating transport
addresses for transmitting SCTP packets.
All the transport addresses used by an SCTP endpoint must use the same port number but can
use multiple IP addresses. The transport address used by an SCTP endpoint at a time must be
unique.
A transport address is defined by the network layer address, transport layer protocols, and port
number. When the SCTP protocol works on the IP transport layer, the transport address is defined
by the IP address and SCTP port number. Then, the SCTP protocol acts as the transport layer
protocol.
SCTP Association
SCTP association is the mapping between two SCTP endpoints. It involves two SCTP endpoints
and protocol status data. The protocol status data includes verification tag and transport sequence
number.
SCTP association is uniquely identified by the transport address of the SCTP endpoint that uses
the SCTP association. There is a maximum of one SCTP association between two SCTP
endpoints.
Multiple chunks can be bundled and transmitted in one datagram, thus saving the bandwidth.
Networking Principles
If a NodeB is connected to a lower-level NodeB, this parent NodeB must be configured with a
treelink PVC for transferring ATM cells to the lower-level node. The red dashed line in Figure
7-8 represents the treelink PVC.
The purpose of a treelink PVC is to switch the data of the lower-level NodeB to the upper-level
one through a hub NodeB. The treelink PVCs configured on a hub NodeB should be able to
switch all the data of the Iub interface to the upper-level node.
To add a PVC switching route, you can select either of the following methods:
l Through VCI switching: A treelink PVC corresponds to a PVC switching route. You need
to specify the source (VPI, VCI) and the destination (VPI, VCI).
l Through VPI switching: A treelink PVC corresponds to multiple PVC switching routes.
You need to specify only the source VPI and the destination VPI. The VCI is unchanged.
The amount of treelink PVCs depends on the amount of physical bearers, switching methods
(VP or VC), and the amount of the upper-level applications.
l For VC switching, the amount of treelink PVCs depends on that of the PVCs of the upper-
level node.
l For VP switching, the amount of treelink PVCs depends on that of the PVCs of the upper-
level node and the VPI values of all PVCs. Assume that all the PVCs on the Iub interface
of a lower-level NodeB are carried on one ATM physical bearer, that is, the slot number,
link type, link (group) number, and VPI of each PVC are the same as those of other PVCs.
In this case, only one treelink PVC needs to be configured.
NOTE
By adjusting the interface board of a lower-level NodeB or hub NodeB, you can meet the requirements for
the VPIs and VCIs of treelink PVCs.
Direct Connection
In direct connection, the NodeB is connected to the RNC directly or through transport equipment.
Figure 7-10 shows an example of direct connection between NodeBx and the RNC.
Cascading Connection
In cascading mode, the NodeB is connected to the RNC through another NodeB. Figure
7-10shows an example of cascading connection between NodeBy and the RNC. In this case,
NodeBx is called the NodeB that provides cascading connection for NodeBy.
NOTE
Multi-level cascading is allowed. In multi-level cascading mode, NodeBy is connected to the RNC through
multiple NodeBs that provide cascading connections. Each cascaded NodeB occupies a portion of the
bandwidth between the RNC and the upper-level NodeB (that is, the NodeB that provides cascading
connection). The bandwidth is also required by the upper-level NodeB. Therefore, multi-level cascading
is not recommended.
NodeBx provides the cascading path for NodeBy in either of the following ways:
Table 7-4 lists the configuration differences between NodeBs in direct/cascading connections.

As the ATM switching equipment, NodeBx is connected to the RNC by E1/T1 or SDH with the

the applications as UNI or IMA. This type of cascading path for the NodeB is recommended.
