Summary
Two antenna ports are configured in the downlink, and the transmission scheme per user is
dynamically selected between spatial diversity and spatial multiplexing to improve the
downlink throughput and coverage performance.

eLTE2.3
Description
Benefits
This feature provides the gain of high peak rate and throughput performance using spatial
multiplexing (two code-words) and good cell edge performance using spatial diversity (single
codeword),.
Description
The downlink 2x2 MIMO is a critical feature to allow an LTE system to deliver better
performance, such as higher data rates, than the legacy system. Both spatial diversity and
spatial multiplexing are supported as defined in LTE specifications, and since eRAN1.0 the
following four 2x2 MIMO schemes are supported in the downlink:
Transmit diversity
Large-delay cyclic delay diversity spatial multiplexing
Closed-loop spatial multiplexing
Closed-loop spatial multiplexing using a single transmission layer
Transmit diversity and closed-loop spatial multiplexing using a single transmission layer are
spatial diversity solutions to combat signal fading. Both schemes transmit a single stream (i.e.,
single code-word) and improve the cell edge performance. The former applies the space
frequency block code (SFBC), and is robust to mobility. The latter applies the codebook based
rank-1 precoding and is typically used at low mobility as UE is required to report its preferred
precoding matrix index (PMI) timely.
Large-delay cyclic delay diversity is an open-loop spatial multiplexing scheme with high
robustness to mobility. Closed-loop spatial multiplexing applies the codebook based feedback
and is typically suitable to low mobility. Both open-loop and closed-loop spatial multiplexing
transmit two separately encoded streams (i.e., two codewords) to improve the peak rate and
throughput performance of UEs under good channel conditions with multiplexing gain.
Open-loop/closed-loop spatial multiplexing can be enabled/disabled by means of O&M.
When this functionality is enabled, adaptive switch between spatial diversity and spatial
multiplexing is performed taking into account the UE specific link quality and rank
information. When this functionality is disabled (by setting the maximum rank for spatial
multiplexing to 1), a single codeword is always scheduled for all UEs.
Besides fixed MIMO modes, adaptive open-loop MIMO, adaptive closed-loop MIMO, and
adaptation between open-loop and closed-loop MIMO modes can be configured by means of
O&M.
Enhancement
None
Dependency
eNodeB
Downlink 2x2 MIMO requires the eNodeB to provide 2 TX channels and 2 antennas.
UE
Spatial multiplexing is supported for terminals with UE category of greater than one.
That is, for category-1 UEs, only a single codeword is scheduled. Relatively accurate
PMI report from UE is a prerequisite for the configuration of closed-loop MIMO modes.

Combining
Availability
This feature is
Summary
This feature allows eNodeB to effectively overcome the inter-cell interference. The method
can be used with receiving diversity and can be used for MIMO decoding in any scenario.
Benefits
This feature can improve the system performance in the presence of interference. Therefore,
enhanced network coverage and better service quality are provided for cell edge users
(CEUs).
Description
Interference Rejection Combining (IRC) is a receive-antenna combining technique to
effectively combat the inter-cell interference. IRC is often used together with receive
diversity. In theory, IRC can be used for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) decoding in
any scenario, and it is particularly effective for colored interference.
The main advantage of IRC lies in that it can outperform Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC)
in terms of demodulation of a signal in the presence of interference or jamming.

This feature is
Summary
Control channel interference rejection combining (IRC) protects physical uplink control
channel (PUCCH) and physical random access channel (PRACH) from inter-cell interference.
Benefits
Control channel IRC receiver suppresses interference for uplink control channels and
improves the control channel coverage. Downlink performance may indirectly be improved
due to more robust ACK/NAK reporting in uplink.
Description
Control channel IRC on PUCCH and PRACH combines signals on control channels received
by multiple antennas. This feature can suppress colored interference, while maximum ratio
combining (MRC) is not fit for such scenario.
eNodeB supports adaptive switching between IRC and MRC for PUCCHs and PRACHs.
When colored interference is detected, eNodeB selects IRC; In other cases, eNodeB selects
MRC.

1.3 QoS
1.3.1 LOFD-001015 Enhanced Scheduling
1.3.1.1 LOFD-00101501 CQI Adjustment
Availability
This feature is
Summary
This function reinforces the traditional AMC feature by introducing downlink Channel
Quality Indicator (CQI) adjustment.
Benefits
This feature brings the following benefits:
Effectively compensates for the inaccurate CQI measurement and makes the MCS
selection more accurate by using a closed-loop mechanism.
Improves the system capacity by selecting more accurate MCS.
Allows an adaptive CQI measurement for different scenarios and therefore improves the
system capacity.
Description
The CQI adjustment scheme enhances the conventional AMC scheme by introducing
downlink CQI adjustment. It could provide additional performance gains.
Under the conventional AMC scheme, the eNodeB chooses a Modulation and Coding Scheme
(MCS) for a UE based on the reported CQI. As a result, MCS will mainly change according to
the reported CQI. Since the UE measurement error and channel fading could make the
reported CQI somewhat inaccurate, the MCS selection based on the inaccurate CQI could
cause the DL transmission fails to reach the Block Error Rate (BLER) target. The
conventional AMC scheme does not have a closed-loop feedback mechanism to guarantee
that the actual BLER reaches the BLER target.
The CQI adjustment scheme introduces a closed-loop mechanism to compensate for the CQI
measurement errors. When an eNodeB selects the MCS for the DL transmission, besides the
CQI and transmits power, the eNodeB also considers the difference between the target BLER
and the actually measured BLER. Note that the actually measured BLER is calculated on the
basis of the closed-loop ACK/NACK that the eNodeB received from the DL transmission. In
addition, the closed-loop solution used by the CQI adjustment scheme allows the eNodeB to
instruct a UE to change the BLER target for CQI reporting, which could maximize the system
throughput.
A common target BLER is optimized for all common scenarios, but in some sceanrios cell
throughput can be increased by increase initial target BLER, especially for cell edge users or

users only transmit small packets. A switch allows operator to adjust the initial target BLER
for cells of such scenarios.

1.3.1.2 LOFD-00101502 Dynamic Scheduling

Availability
This feature is
Summary
The dynamic scheduling feature provides the function that guarantees the user QoS and
achieves efficient resource utilization. The fairness between different UEs is also considered
in the function. The dynamic scheduling algorithm mainly focuses on the GBR and non-GBR
services.
Benefits
The scheduling feature is the core function to provide QoS in a LTE system. Huawei
scheduling solution could provide the following benefits:
Guarantees the QoS for GBR, and non-GBR services.
Achieves an optimal tradeoff among throughput, fairness, and QoS.
Description
The scheduling function facilitates to the achievement of efficient resource utilization on a
shared channel. In a LTE system, the scheduler allocates resources to the UEs every 1 ms or
every one TTI. The scheduling algorithm needs to meet the QoS requirements for different
services and to achieve a good tradeoff between priority differentiation among different
services and the fairness among users.
The QoS specification is based on the nine QoS QCI defined in LTE standards. The nine
different QCI classes can be divided into GBR and Non-GBR service. The scheduling
solution is required to guarantee the bit rate requirement for GBR services, and enforce the
AMBR for Non-GBR services. Minimum GBR is set for Non-GBR services to avoid
starvation.
The uplink scheduler controls the service rates by using the token bucket algorithm for GBR
and Non-GBR services. Proportional Fair (PF) algorithm is the basic strategy to ensure
scheduling priorities (based on QCI) among different services. Higher priority is assigned to

Copyright Huawei
eLTE2.3
Description
IMS signaling and GBR services. Semi-persistent scheduling is employed for VoIP service to
ensure the voice quality. When the congestion indicator from load control algorithm is
received, the scheduler might reduce the guaranteed data rate for GBR service. The scheduler
might also consider the input from UL ICIC to reduce interference.
The uplink scheduler will divide the Logical Channel Groups (LCG) according to Operator
configuration. VOIP service is assigned with signaling in the same LCG and non-GBR
services belong to two LCG. Such configuration can guarantee the high priority non-GBR
services are scheduled in uplink. Prioritized bit rate (PBR) is not same as Minimum GBR and
PBR is configurable by operator.
The DL scheduler employs an enhanced scheduling strategy. During a given time window,
the scheduler is required to guarantee GBR and AMBR for all services. For GBR services, the
user channel quality and the service packet delay are taken into account when calculating the
priority. For Non-GBR services, in addition to the user channel quality, the scheduled service
throughput is also considered when calculating the priority. Note that semi-persistent
scheduling is used for VoIP service again and the bandwidth allocated for VoIP traffic is not
scheduled by the scheduler. The enhanced DL scheduler can achieve an optimal tradeoff
among throughput, fairness, and QoS guarantee. The same as the UL scheduler, the DL
scheduler also considers the input from DL ICIC to reduce the inter-cell interference.
As GBR services have higher priority than non-GBR services, when system is in congestion,
non-GBR service might be starving as it cannot be scheduled. The DL scheduler will reserve a
certain portion of resource for non-GBR services to prevent the issue.
Enhancement
In eRAN6.0 this feature is enhanced for DL non-GBR services to prevent non-GBR services
from starving at system congestion.

None

This feature is
Summary
The TCP/IP protocol was initially developed for wired transmission and later also used in
wireless network, while the link characteristics in wireless network is quite different from the
wired network. A series of enhancement on TCP functions are implemented in the eNodeB.
This feature enables the performance of the TCP protocol derived from the wired network to
be greatly improved in the wireless network, thus improving user experience and system
efficiency.

Description
Benefits
This feature mitigates the impact of some factors such as packet loss in the RAN side to
improve the performance of TCP data transmission, accelerates the slow startup of the server
during the data transmission, thus greatly improving the TCP transmission performance.
Description
The TCP/IP protocol is extensively used all over the world. It was initially developed for
wired transmission and later also used in wireless networks. However wireless networks have
some characteristics quite different from the wired network. To mitigate this effect, a number
of enhancements have been implemented in the eNodeB.
A TPE (TCP Proxy Enhancer) functionality is implemented in the eNodeB, which improves
the data transmission performance in the wireless network. The TPE processes the TCP/IP
packets by adopting TCP performance optimization technologies such as ACK splitting and
ACK control. This feature accelerates the slow startup of the server and decrease packet
drops. Therefore, this feature greatly improves the TCP transmission performance.
ACK splitting
In TCP, the congestion window is updated according to the number of received ACK
messages and is expanded by increasing the number of ACK messages. When a slow startup
occurs, ACK splitting can quickly increase the congestion window.
ACK Control
In LTE system, fluctuations over the air interface are inevitable. Therefore, HARQ/ARQ is
transmitted in the uplink to ensure data is transmitted properly. According to 3GPP
specifications, RLC must cache data and wait until the HARQ/ARQ completed, then hand in
data cached to PDCP in sequence. However, the HARQ/ARQ transmission takes at least 8 ms,
which could be delayed over air interface and burst layer. As a result, downlink TCP services
also burst, and causing packet loss if the buffer size of transmission equipment is limited. The
ACK control function controls the uplink ACK traffic to prevent bursts of downlink data.
MTU Control
When packet length is greater than PMTU(Path Maximum Transmission Unit), packet is
fragmented on transmission path, which will reduce efficiency of transmission and cause
packet drop probably. MTU Control allows operators to define the packet MSS (Maximum
Segment Size) so the packet fragmentation can be avoided.
Enhancement
In eRAN6.0
The uplink ACK control function is introduced.
The MTU Control function is introduced .

1.3.3 LOFD-001027 Active Queue Management

(AQM)
Availability
This feature is
Summary
This feature provides an approach for buffer optimization to interact with the TCP protocol in
a favorable manner and shorten the buffering delay.
Benefits
The Active Queue Management feature improves the end user service in different ways. With
AQM, where the buffer fill level is balanced to the UE data rate, the delay is significantly
reduced.
Description
In an interactive connection, the packet data to be transferred is typically characterized by
large variations, so the buffer is introduced to even out the variations. However, if the buffer
is filled up or an overflow situation takes place, it will result in loss of data packets.
Currently, TCP as the main transport layer protocol is used on Internet. Packet loss is regarded
as link congestion by TCP, and TCP will correspondingly reduce the data transmission rate.
TCP protocol is also sensitive to round trip delay and it will take actions differently in case
just one packet is lost or if a burst of packets is lost. In case of uncontrolled packet losses, it
may take a considerable time for the data rate to increase again, leading to poor radio link
utilization and causing long delays for the end user.
In addition, in case a user is performing parallel activities, e.g. FTP downloading and web
browsing, if the file downloading as a dominant stream would fill the buffers and thereby
cause a long delay for web browsing, before anything would happen when clicking on a link.
The functionality of AQM is provided as an optimized buffer handling method, in order to
interact with the TCP protocol in a favorable manner and reduce the buffering delay.
Operators can switch on/off the Active Queue Management function.

Summary
This feature enables service differentiation when the network is congested to provide better
services for high-priority users.
Benefits
This feature provides operators with a method to differentiate users according to their priority.
High priority users can obtain the system resources in case of resource limitation. In this way,

Description
Pre-emption is the function related to admission control and is the method for differentiating
services. It enables operators to provide different services by setting different priorities, which
will affect the user call setup success rate during the call setup procedure. If there are not
enough resources and a new call is not admitted to access to the network, high priority user
will have more chances to access to the network than low priority users by pre-empting other
low priority users.
The priority information is obtained from the E-RAB Level QoS Parameters including ARP
(Allocation / Retention Priority), in the message of ERAB SETUP REQUEST. The eNodeB
will assign the user priority based on ARP.
Pre-emption will take action if admitting a call fails due to lack of resource, including S1
transmission resource and radio resource (for example, QoS satisfaction ratio based admission
check is failure). The service with the attribution of Pre-emption Capability and Pre-emption
Vulnerability indicates the service ability of pre-empt and pre-emption vulnerability. The preemption capability indicates the pre-emption capability of the request on other E-RABs, and
pre-emption vulnerability indicates the vulnerability of the E-RAB to preemption of other ERABs.
In case of Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB), the pre-emption will not be triggered if resource
allocation for SRB fails. For the emergency call (e.g., E911) service, on account of their very
high priority, it always has the preemption capability. For the SRB, emergency call and IMS
signaling, they cannot be preempted.

high-priority services and services that must be guaranteed to comply with laws can
preempt resources of common services and therefore get better access.
An eNodeB admits all initially accessing UEs, allowing setup of Radio Resource Control
(RRC) connections for the UEs. Then during E-UTRAN radio access bearer (E-RAB)
setup, the eNodeB triggers preemption for high-priority services and emergency calls,
which are selected based on allocation/retention priority (ARP) values. The eNodeB
selects services to be preempted in the following sequence: non-GBR services on
unsynchronized UEs, non-GBR services on synchronized UEs, and low-priority GBR
services.

1.3.5.1 LOFD-00105401 Camp & Handover Based on SPID
Availability
This feature is
Summary
This feature is used in the scenarios under which the operator wants to control the mobility of
an UE to make it camp on, redirect or handover to a suitable cell. The priorities for the cell
selection is predefined and configured to eNodeB through SPID (Subscriber Profile ID for
RAT/Frequency Priority).
Benefits
Operators can make its subscribers to camp in, redirect or handover to a suitable RAT (a cell
of LTE/UMTS/GSM) or frequency (a cell of LTE) based on the service characteristics. For
example, for a data centric subscriber, a LTE cell will be the more suitable selection than an
UMTS cell or a GSM cell; for a voice centric subscriber, a GSM cell or an UMTS cell will be
the more suitable selection than a LTE cell.
Description
The SPID is an index referring to user information (e.g. mobility profile, service usage
profile). The information is UE specific and applies to all its Radio Bearers.
This index is mapped by the eNodeB to locally defined configuration in order to apply
specific RRM strategies (e.g. to define RRC_IDLE mode priorities and control InterRAT/inter frequency redirection/ handover in RRC_CONNECTED mode).
In RRC_IDLE mode, UE can camp in a cell with its suitable RAT or frequency.

Copyright Huawei
14
eLTE2.3
Description
In RRC_CONNECTED mode, when load balance or overload control triggers an interfrequency or Inter-RAT handover or redirection, eNodeB will choose a suitable target from
the cells according to the priorities indexed by its SPID. In addition, when UE finish its
service, eNodeB can release it into a suitable cell according to its SPID priority. For UE
without SPID, when overload happens, the UE could also be redirect to a suitable cell
according to common priority and overload information.
Thus, Operator can configure and push subscribers into the suitable cell according its
subscription. For example: a dongle user usually stays in a LTE high frequency band for a
high service rate; a VoIP user is prior to stay in a LTE low frequency band to guarantee the
continuous coverage.
Enhancement
In eRAN3.0
When UE triggers an inter-frequency or inter-RAT handover, eNodeB can not only
choose a suitable target from the cells but also choose a HPLMN cell for national
roaming subscribers according to the priorities indexed by its SPID. For national
roaming subscribers, HPLMN cell will be more suitable to be selected than roaming cell
when entering HPLMN LTE or 3G coverage area through connected mode handover.

Availability
This feature is
Summary
Operator can configure a suitable SPID (Subscriber Profile ID for RAT/Frequency Priority) in

corresponding UE.

Copyright Huawei

eLTE2.3
Description
Benefits
With this feature, Operator can assign different UL pre-allocation capability for different UE.
UL pre-allocation is used when the cell is in a light load situation to achieve the small latency
for a certain UE.
Description
The SPID is an index referring to user information (e.g. mobility profile, service usage
profile). The information is UE specific and applies to all its Radio Bearers.
This index is mapped by the eNodeB to locally defined configuration in order to apply
specific RRM strategies.
Operator can configure a suitable SPID in core network for each UE. When an UE accesses to
the network, its SPID will be transmitted to the eNodeB, by which the eNodeB can enable or
disable the UL pre-allocation for the corresponding UE.
UL pre-allocation functionality allocates PUSCH RBs to the UE while the cell is in light load
situation; even the UE's sending buffer is empty. It gives the UE the possibility to hit the
sending chance quickly. For instance, this functionality can accelerate the ACK of a DL RRC
signaling message.
With UL pre-allocation, the sending delay of UE will be shortened, but the power
consumption of UE will increase. Operators can adjust the related parameters to get
compromise on the latency and power consumption.

eLTE2.3
Description
This feature reduces PDCCH overheads and increases the PDCCH capacity.
Compared with non-delay-based functions, this feature better meets the delay
requirements of best effort (BE) services and increases the eNodeB throughput in hybrid
service scenarios when both guaranteed bit rate (GBR) and non-GBR services exist.
Description
Delay-based DL packet bundling primarily introduces delay control for BE services.
If the network load is light and the resources for control and traffic channels are sufficient,
delay-based DL packet bundling is not necessary. When the network load increase, PDCCH
packet delay will also increase and PDCCH transmission might be congested. By bundling the
PDCCH packets, eNodeB reduced the overhead on the PDCCH transmission. This feature
improves BE user experience , and increases the eNodeB throughput in hybrid service
scenarios at high load.
When the feature is used, average PDCCH packet delay of GBR services might increase when
it is mixed with non-GBR services. For non-GBR services, when Proportional Fair (PF)
scheduling is used small PDCCH packet delay might increase.

Description
Benefits
This feature offers the following benefits:
Controls UE access to prevent a sharp increase in signaling load.
Relieves cell congestion and improves user experience of UEs that have accessed the
network.
Description
As defined in 3GPP specifications, access class control supported since eRAN2.1 enables an
eNodeB to send access control parameters in system information block type 2 (SIB2) to UEs
in a cell. Based on access control parameter settings, UEs then determine whether they can
access the cell.
Based on the access cause, SIB2 can contain access control parameters for different types of
services. The causes include MO Signaling, MO Data, Emergency, SSAC_MMTEL_Video,
SSAC_MMTEL_Voice, and CSFB.
For Emergency services, the access control parameter can specify whether to enable access
barring. For other services, access control parameters can specify the barring factor, barring
duration, and barring of access classes 11 to 15.
Intelligent access class control is an enhancement to access class control. With this
enhancement, an eNodeB can determine whether to start access class control based on the cell
congestion status. After access class control is started, the eNodeB can dynamically adjust
access control parameters until cell congestion is relieved.
Currently, only intelligent access class control for MO Signaling and MO Data are supported.
Intelligent access class control provides the following enhancement:
Enables an eNodeB to start access class control based on the cell congestion status.
Enables an eNodeB to dynamically adjust access control parameters after access class

Benefits
High speed access is one of the key differentiators for Huawei SingleRAN LTE solution to
provide high speed coverage. This feature brings the following benefits:
Allows Huawei LTE system to support high-speed UEs at different speed and frequency
combinations with good performance:
120km/h at 2.6GHz
160km/h at 2.1GHz
200km/h at 1.8GHz
450km/h at 700MHz & 800MHz
Provides a seamless user experience in a high-speed scenario.
Description
This feature allows a Huawei LTE system to operate in a high-speed scenario and deliver
good performance.
The higher the velocity that the UE experiences, the severer the effect of fast fading that the
system suffers. Therefore, it is more difficult to achieve the same performance in high-speed
scenario as in the normal speed.
Huawei eRAN1.0 supports the UE velocity at different frequencies as mentioned above,
which has almost covered all mobility scenarios in urban environment. The eNodeB should
measure the UE mobility speed and refine the channel estimation scheme accordingly. In
addition, the MIMO scheme and resource allocation mechanism is adaptively adjusted by the
radio resource management (RRM) function to meet the high-speed performance requirement.
For example, it is suitable to use frequency diversity mode rather than frequency-selective

Description
The eNodeB supports co-transmission with other 2G/3G base stations.
During eNodeB site deployment, it is possible that an eNodeB shares a site with a base station
of different technologies such as GSM, UMTS, or CDMA. In this case, co-transmission
facilitates better utilization of transmission resources and reduces the OPEX (rental fees of the
transmission resources).
The following figure shows the 2G/3G and LTE co-transmission
Figure 1.1 2G/3G and LTE co-transmission
The implementation of the co-transmission function depends on four sub functions: multiple
ports, IP route, DHCP relay, and Weighted Round Robin (WRR) scheduling. They are
described as follows:
Multiple ports: eNodeB supports several Ethernet and E1/T1 interfaces.
IP route: The data of the cascaded base station is switched to IP network by the IP route
function in the eNodeB. IP routes can be configured by users.
DHCP relay: In general, a cascaded base station obtains the IP address by the DHCP
function. With the DHCP function, the DHCP client, that is the base station, and the
DHCP server are required to be located in the same broadcast domain. In the cotransmission scenario, however, the cascaded base station is not located in the same
broadcast domain as the DHCP server. DHCP relay provides a means to transfer DHCP
messages between different broadcast domains.
WRR scheduling: It ensures fairness between the cascaded base station and the eNodeB
for the data transport. Data are scheduled on the basis of the weight computed according
to the traffic bandwidth. Each base station and eNodeB has a weight and then has a
chance to be scheduled.

Description
The transmission overbooking mechanism allows admission of more users with the guarantee

Description
Transmission Differentiated Flow Control provides users with differentiated services while

Fairness: Each admission user should be allocated some bandwidth to avoid hungry
phenomenon.
Differentiation: High-priority users take precedence over low-priority ones.
The implementation of this function depends on the sub-functions TAC , Queue scheduling
and back-pressure flow control.
TAC: If the GBR requirement exists, the transport bandwidth is computed on the basis of
the GBR; otherwise, it is computed on the basis of the default reserved bandwidth of, for
example, non-GBR services.
Queue scheduling: services enter to PQ and WRR queues based on service priority.
Services that entered the PQ queues have the highest priority to be scheduled, Services
that entered the WRR queues are scheduled on the basis of the weight computed
according to the traffic bandwidth. Each service has a weight and then has a chance to be

Description
Transmission Resource Overload Control provides protection for the system when
transmission resources are overloaded unexpectedly.
There are two scenarios of the unexpected overload:
A great bandwidth change of transport bearer (the bandwidth available in the system)
occurs. For example, the transmission bandwidth decreases from 20 Mb/s to 10 Mb/s
because of network failure.
A great bandwidth change of service traffic (the bandwidth used in the system) occurs.
For example, the traffic bandwidth increases from 5 Mb/s to 10 Mb/s rapidly.
When the above-mentioned scenarios happen, it is necessary to take some extreme actions
such as releasing low-priority users to guarantee high-priority users'QoS.

between transmission devices and test devices.
This feature is developed based on IPPM specifications, including RFC5357 (TWAMP),
RFC2678, RFC2680, RFC2681, and RFC3393.
This feature supports IPPM between wireless network elements (NEs) and devices supporting
the Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) in the wireless backhaul network. For
example, IPPM can be performed between:
eNodeBs over the X2 interfaces
Base stations and base station controllers in the GSM or UMTS network
eNodeBs and devices in the evolved packet core (EPC)
Base station controllers
Base station controllers and devices in the core network (CN)

Benefits
This feature supports the quality of service (QoS) test on the transport network, facilitates
problem location and rectification, and therefore reduces maintenance costs.
This feature supports traffic measurement over a long duration, enables operators to monitor
the QoS of the transport network, and therefore reduces maintenance costs.
This feature uses UDP packet injection for testing, consuming network bandwidths. For
example, if a piece of monitoring stream is sent in consecutive packet transmission mode at a
speed of 10 packets per second and the length of each packet is 80 bytes, the network
bandwidth to be consumed is 6.4 kbit/s.
Description
This feature detects the transmission performance of the IP network between eNodeBs and the
EPC, or between transport devices and test devices based on the TWAMP. Meanwhile, this
feature monitors changes in QoS parameters related to the transport network, such as roundtrip delay, one-way packet loss rate, and one-way jitter.

eLTE2.3
Description
A measurement model is defined based on the TWAMP. The measurement model provides
functions of the Controller and the Responder. The Controller consists of the Session-Sender
and Control-Client, and the Responder consists of the Session-Reflector and Server.
TWAMP control packets are transmitted between the Control-Client and Server for
measurement task negotiation (also known as initialization), start, and stop. TWAMP control
packets are transmitted based on TCP, and the Server uses port 862.
TWAMP test packets are transmitted between the Session-Sender and Session-Reflector based
on UDP.
The following figure shows the working mechanism of the measurement model.
The Controller sends TWAMP packets over a negotiated stream based on the measurement
task negotiation result. The stream consists of the Controller IP address, Responder IP
address, UDP port number, and Type-P information. Type-P information can be the protocol
type, port number, packet length, or differentiated services code point (DSCP). A TWAMP test
packet contains the sending sequence number and sending timestamp. Based on the TWAMP
test packets, link performance indicators (such as one-way delay, one-way jitter, one-way
packet loss rate, and round-trip delay) can be calculated.
The Responder sends responses to the packets sent by the Controller. The Responder records
the receiving timestamp, obtains the sending sequence number and timestamp, and generates
a response packet. The response packet contains the receiving timestamp, sending sequence
number, and sending timestamp of each packet sent by the Controller, as well as the sending
sequence number and sending timestamp of each packet sent by the Session-Reflector.
This feature works in unacknowledged mode, and supports the functions of the Controller and
Responder.
This feature calculates the packet loss rate within a measurement period using the following
formulas:
Packet loss rate in the direction from the Sender to the Reflector = (Number of packets
sent by the Sender Number of packets sent by the Reflector)/Number of packets sent
by the Sender

Copyright Huawei
30
eLTE2.3
Description
Packet loss rate in the direction from the Reflector to the Sender = (Number of packets
sent by the Reflector Number packets received by the Sender)/Number of packets sent
by the Reflector
This feature calculates the round-trip time (RTT) using the following formula:
RTT = (T2 T1) + (T4 T3) = (T4 T1) (T3 T2)
where
T1: time that the Sender sends the packet
T2: time that the Reflector receives the packet
T3: time that the Reflector sends the response packet
T4: time that the Sender receives the response packet
This feature calculates the one-way jitter based on the delay between adjacent packets.
This feature supports fault location of the transport network in segments in daily operation
and maintenance by connecting the eNodeB and TWAMP supporting devices such as the
intermediate router. This feature supports traffic measurement over a long duration and

Benefits
Huawei proprietary clock over IP protocol does not require extra requirement to be invested
into the IP network. This feature has the same requirements for the network as the service

Description
The IEEE 1588V2 clock synchronization solution requires that all the devices on the clock
relay path support IEEE1588V2 protocol. If the network does not support IEEE1588V2
protocol, Huawei LTE eRAN2.0 can use Huawei proprietary protocol to support clock over
IP.
The following figure shows the framework of Huawei proprietary protocol. The clock servers
generate time stamps and send the time stamps to eNodeBs connecting to it, which act as
clock clients in this case. Because there is delay and jitter in packet networks, eNodeB uses an
adaptive method to get rid of the delay and retrieve the timing signals. The time stamps are set
in packets at the UDP layer and will be transmitted at the physical layer after the related

Figure 1.1 Framework of Huawei proprietary protocol
Pay attention to the following information:
There are clock servers and clock clients. The servers can be located in the network
independently, and the clients are integrated into the eNodeBs.
An adaptive algorithm is involved in the system. The clock servers send time stamps,
and clock clients receive time stamps to retrieve the frequency.
One clock server serves a maximum of 512 eNodeBs.
Two or more clock servers can be used together to improve the reliability. This is
optional.
The required transmission bandwidth for time stamps in unicast mode is from 5kbit/s to
100kbit/s for each clock client. In most cases, 25kbit/s is recommended.
This proprietary protocol only supports frequency synchronization. Frequency accuracy

obtained in the eNodeB is 0.05ppm.

Summary
This feature enables eNodeB to provide frequency synchronization by transporting IEEE
1588v2 PTP messages through IPv6 unicast packet.
This feature is applicative in FDD system.
Benefits
When eNodeB accesses the IPv6 network, IEEE 1588 v2 clock synchronization could be used
in IPv6 transmission network, provide an alternative clock solution for the GPS clock
synchronization.
Description
IEEE 1588 v2 standard enables precise synchronization of clocks in measurement and control
systems implemented with technologies such as network communication, local computing and
distributed objects. It is applicable to systems communicating via packet networks.
The clocks in the communication system communicate with each other over a communication
network and the 1588 function generates a master slave relationship among the clocks in the
system. All clocks ultimately derive their time from a clock known as the grandmaster clock.
IEEE 1588 v2 over IPv6 enables the use of 1588 in networking environment deploying IPv6.
Time server as clock master sends the IEEE 1588v2 PTP message which encapsulated in IPv6
unicast packet. Then the eNodeB as clock client receives these message and uses the Adaptive
Clock algorithm to implement frequency synchronization.
The synchronization mechanism is the same as IEEE1588 v2 over IPv4, please refer to

Description
Intra-LTE Load Balancing is recommended in commercial LTE networks with multiple LTE
frequencies where one frequency has a higher load but other frequencies have lower load.
After this feature is enabled, a local cell measures its own cell load If the local cell load
exceeds a preset threshold, the eNodeB of the local cell will collect neighboring cell load
information. If a neighboring cell's load is lower than a threshold, the eNodeB to which the
local cell belongs will decide whether to hand over some UEs to the lower loaded neighboring
cell. The cell load is represented by the physical resource block (PRB) usage, as defined in
3GPP TS 36.314.
The load balancing procedure consists of the following activities: load measurement and
evaluation, load information exchange, load balancing decision, load balancing execution and
performance monitoring.
Intra-LTE Load Balancing is used in scenarios where inter-frequency LTE cells have highly
overlapping coverage.
Blind load balancing is supported for the scenarios where no X2 interface is available or the

Description
This feature reduces ping-pong handovers, too early handovers, and too late handovers in
different scenarios:
Ping-pong handovers, too early handovers, and too late handovers of Intra-LTE
scenarios.
The major MRO parameter adjustment are the CIO (Cell Individual Offset) of event A3
for intra-frequency MRO, CIO of event A3/A4 and measurement threshold of event A2
for inter-frequency MRO.
Both too early and too late handovers are captured at the source eNodeB. Only outgoing
handover failures are captured. There is no need to capture incoming handovers.
CIO offset is adjusted automatically by steps according to the number of abnormal
handovers in a certain period. CIO offset explicitly declares the handover threshold
between measurement results of signaling quality from both source and target cells.
Hence, changing the CIO offset will shift ahead or delay the happening of handovers.
The reduction of ping-pong handovers exploits the UE History Information that is passed
from the source eNodeB to the target eNodeB during the handover preparation. When
the UE History Information is received, the target eNodeB identifies ping-pong if the
second newest cell's GCI is equal to that of the target cell and the time spent in the
source cell is less than a ping-pong time threshold. Ping-pong is corrected by decreasing
the Cell Individual Offset, thus delaying handovers.
In the intra-frequency scenario, there is a UE specific ping-pong handover reduction
algorithm. If the UE is identified under ping-pong handover, specific CIO parameter is
applied for the UE to stop the ping-pong handover.
Too early handovers and too late handovers of Inter-RAT scenarios.

Event A2 and B1 measurements thresholds are adjusted for inter-RAT scenarios.

status and key events.
In eRAN6.0
UE-level MRO against ping-pong handovers is introduced. The eNodeB identifies pingpong UEs and sends corresponding UE-level MRO parameters to these UEs. This type of
MRO reduces the number of ping-pong handovers, reduces Uu resource usage, and
improves quality of experience (QoE) of UEs.

Benefits
The feature increases the random access success ratio.
Description
The number of PRACH preamble is 64, the preamble is divided into two parts which is for
contention-based random access and non-contention-based random access separately. The
eNodeB can detect which part is enough while another part is not enough, and eNodeB can
adjust the number of the preamble group dynamically according to the demand.
The PRACH configuration index indicates the number and positions of sub-frames which are
used to send random access preamble. The eNodeB measures the number of preamble during
the period, and eNodeB will adjust the PRACH configuration index to fulfill the demand. If
the number of preamble is more than threshold, the PRACH configuration index will be
adjusted to indicate more sub-frames, and vice versa.
When conflict on PRACH resource detected, eNodeB could send different back-off time
indicator to UEs. UE could select a random back-off time based on the back-off time indicator
to try access again, so that the chance of conflict again is reduced.

Sleeping cell refers to one cell may have some serious problems but no obvious abnormal
event or alarm had been triggered. UEs may camp in this cell but they cannot setup any
service connection or access into the network. This feature is provided to detect such issues
and to notify operator.
Benefits
This feature will shorten the time to detect some cell with serious fault problem but not
having triggered an alarm yet
Description
The sleeping cell detection is a function that an eNodeB can automatically detect faulty cell
which cannot provide normal service but eNodeB does not report alarm to EMS, so operator
does not know if cell is under sleeping status and cannot solve it in time.
eNodeB can detect sleeping cell itself and report alarm to EMS. EMS also can implement an
algorithm to detect sleeping cell and generate an alarm. These two ways can be combined
together to find sleeping cell more accurately than only by one way.
eNodeB uses the connected user measurement method to detect the sleeping cell. eNodeB will
count connected user every second. If the user number keeps zero for a given period of time
(this time value can be configured), eNodeB will generate an alarm to EMS. EMS will
correlate this alarm with some other alarms (for example, the alarm from antenna to which the
cell is associated, the alarm from the Tx/Rx channel, etc). This alarm is generated when the
eNodeB detects that the cell has no accessing of any user for a long time.
After detecting the dormant cell, the eNodeB will deactivate and activate the cell
automatically.
It is suggested that this feature will be used with EMS sleeping cell detection feature together

Adaptive Power Adjustment
Huawei Adaptive Power Adjustment solution, based on the traffic load, supports dynamic
adjustment of the PA working state, and thereby improves PA efficiency and saves eNodeB
power consumption.
The typical scenarios are described as follows:
1. Based on the change of cell load in the day and at night, the PA working state is changed
dynamically.
2. Based on the change of cell load in the working days and non-working days of the business
districts, the PA working state is changed dynamically.
3. At the early stage of network deployment, there are usually less users in the cell, and when
there's no any user in the cell, the PA working state is changed dynamically.

Availability
This feature is
Summary
In MIMO mode, the carrier for a cell is transferred through different transmission channels.
When no traffic is on the cell, the carrier can be switched off on part of transmission channels.
In this way, the power consumption of the eNodeB in empty load mode is decreased. When
there is traffic, the carrier can be switched on automatically to have the cell run normally
again.
Benefits
Without load, the eNodeB can switch off carrier on some transmit channels to reduce the
power consumption of the eNodeB.
Description
An eNodeB in the LTE system is usually configured with two or four antennas. The traffic in
the cell varies by time. In some certain periods, for example, from the midnight to the early
morning (operators can customize the periods), there is no traffic. When the idle status is
detected by the eNodeB, it switched off the carrier on one transmission channel (if there are
two transmission channels) or on two transmission channels (if there are four transmission
channels) to decrease the power consumption. When a UE accesses the cell or the periods
end, the eNodeB can automatically switch on the carrier that is switched off. Then, the cell
recovers to the normal state and continues with services.

3.3.3 LOFD-001040 Low Power Consumption Mode

Availability
This feature is
Summary
In some cases where an eNodeB detects a power outage or receives a command, the eNodeB
can opt to or be forced to enter low power consumption mode, which helps extend the inservice time of an eNodeB powered by batteries.
Benefits
Compared with the eNodeB in normal mode, an eNodeB in low power consumption mode
consumes less power and has a longer in-service time if powered by batteries. In addition, if
the power supply cannot be quickly restored, the probability of an eNodeB going out of
service is also lower.
Description
Low power consumption mode has three stages. If the eNodeB stays in a stage for a time
equal to the operator-defined duration threshold and the power supply fails to restore within
this time, the eNodeB enters the next stage. This process continues until the cell becomes out
of service.
An eNodeB enters low power consumption mode if either of the following conditions is met:
The power outage alarm is reported.

If power insufficiency or power failure lasts for a time equal to the operator-defined
duration, this alarm is reported and the eNodeB enters low power consumption mode.
The element management system (EMS) delivers a command.

The operator delivers a command using the EMS, instructing the eNodeB to enter or exit
from low power consumption mode.

This feature is
Summary
The eNodeB reports the power consumption status to the EMS. Through the EMS, the change
in power consumption of the eNodeB can be monitored by the operator, and a report on the
power consumption can be generated.
Benefits
The eNodeB reports the power consumption status to the EMS. Therefore, the operator can
monitor the power consumption of the eNodeB. With the report on the power consumption,
the operator can exactly know the benefits brought by the decrease in power consumption.
Description
The eNodeB periodically monitors the power of each monitoring point and reports the power
consumption within a period. The EMS receives and collects all data about power
consumption. Through the EMS, the operator can observe the change in the power
consumption and analyze the power consumption according to a statistics report generated by
the EMS.

3.3.5 LOFD-001042 Intelligent Power-Off of Carriers

in the Same Coverage
Availability
This feature is
Summary
When there is light traffic in an area that is covered by multiple carriers, some of the carriers
can be blocked, and all services can be automatically taken over by the carriers that remain in
service. When the traffic increases to a certain degree, the carriers that are blocked can be
unblocked again automatically to provide services.
Benefits
When there is light traffic in an area that is covered by multiple carriers, some of the carriers
can be blocked, and all services can be taken over by the carriers that remain in service. This
can help reduce the power consumption of the eNodeB without any impact on the service
quality.
Description
When multiple carriers provide coverage for the same area, the traffic of the area varies by
time. In some certain periods, for example from the midnight to the early morning (the
periods can be preset by the operator), the traffic is light. When the eNodeB detects the light
traffic, it triggers UEs to perform migration to some of the carriers and then blocks the
carriers without any load. In this way, the power consumption is reduced. When the traffic
increases or the preset periods end, the eNodeB can automatically switch on the carriers that
are unblocked to recover the functionality of the carriers. In this way, the system capacity is
increased without any impact on the service quality.

3.3.6 LOFD-001056 PSU Intelligent Sleep Mode

Availability
This feature is
Summary
This feature introduces the function of PSU (Power Supply Unit) intelligent Sleep Mode.
With this feature, certain PSUs can be powered on or off according to the power consumption
of the eNodeB, thus reducing the power consumption.
Benefits
When the traffic is light, the eNodeB can power off certain PSUs to reduce the power
consumption. In the following scenario, 3 PSUs in 1 eNodeB and low traffic, turning on this
feature could help to save 4% to %5 power consumption.
Description
If an eNodeB with AC input is configured with HUAWEI PSUs (converting AC into DC) and
HUAWEI PMU, the function of PSU intelligent Sleep Mode can be used. The number of
configured PSUs depends on the maximum power consumption of the eNodeB. The purpose
is to ensure that the eNodeB operates properly even at the maximum load. In most cases, the
eNodeB does not operate at full load, and thus the PSUs do not operate at full power.
Generally, the PSU conversion efficiency is proportional to its output power. In other words,
the decrease in the conversion efficiency increases the overall power consumption of the
eNodeB.
When the eNodeB is powered by multiple PSUs, the PSU intelligent shutdown function
enables shutting down one or several PSUs according to the actual load and the power supply
need. In this way, the remaining PSUs work in full load mode, thus ensuring their best level of
efficiency.

Description
3 O&M
Summary
This feature introduces the function of symbol power saving. The eNodeB can shut down the
PAs (Power Amplifier) when a symbol is empty. MBSFN (Multicast Broadcast Single
Frequency Network) sub-frame could be used to reduce the reference signal further so that
more empty symbols are available for PA to shut down longer.
Benefits
When the traffic is light, the eNodeB can shut down the PAs when symbol is empty to save
the static power consumption of the PA. The power consumption of the eNodeB is reduced.
Description
PAs consume the most power in eNodeB. Even when there is no signal output, the PA has
static power consumption. If PA could be power on and off quickly, the system could utilize
this function to implement symbol power saving.
The eNodeB can shut down the PAs when symbol is empty to save the static power
consumption of the PA. In order to guarantee the integrity of data, the system needs to control
the time of PA's switching on and off.
For example: when there is no active user in the cell, in some sub-frames only RS (Reference
Signal) signal is transmitted, PA can be powered off in the OFDM symbols when there is no
RS.
And if the cell is not using eMBMS service, the eNodeB can configure some of the empty
sub-frames into MBSFN sub-frames for further power saving. When one sub-frame is
configured as MBSFN sub-frame, only the first RS need to be transmitted in the air interface.
The rest symbols in the sub-frame could be set to empty so that the PA could be powered off.

The function of the automatic change of the battery management mode is under license
control. In addition, this function is disabled by default and you can enable it by running an
MML command.
Self-protection under high temperature:
When batteries maintain a temperature exceeding the threshold for entering the floating
charge state for 5 minutes, they enter the state and no alarms are generated.
When batteries maintain a temperature exceeding the threshold for the self-protection function
for 5 minutes, they are automatically powered off or the voltage of batteries is automatically
adjusted.
Display of the battery runtime:
After the mains supply is cut off, the base station works out the runtime of batteries based on
the remaining power capacity, discharge current, and other data. This runtime can be queried
by running an MML command.
To calculate the runtime of batteries, use the following formula:
Runtime of batteries = (Remaining power capacity x Total power capacity x Discharge
efficiency)/(Mean discharge current x Aging coefficient)

Summary
This feature monitors the eNodeB transmitting power, and dynamically adjusts PA working
state when RRU transmitting power is low. Thereby it improves PA efficiency and saves
eNodeB power consumption.
This is similar to feature LOFD-001025 Adaptive Power Consumption, but it is specific to the
Blade RRU series which has utilized the new PA technologies. This feature provides more
power saving and can also be used at narrow frequency bandwidth (1.4MHz, 3MHz and
5MHz).
Benefits
This feature improves the efficiency of the PA and saves power consumption of the eNodeB.
Description
By decreasing equipment power consumption, operator's operating cost is decreased. The
lower power consumption also improves the reliability of equipment.
Blade RRU series utilized the latest PA technologies. When RRU transmitting power is low,
this feature will dynamically adjust the bias voltage of RRU, to improve the PA efficiency of
this kind of RRU.
PA Bias Voltage Dynamically Adjustment

In the commercial network, eNodeB traffic load is keep changing; PA transmitting power
is also changing with it. When PA transmitting power is high, PA efficiency is higher and
a higher PA bias voltage is needed. When PA transmitting power is low, if PA bias
voltage keeps high, the PA efficiency will be low.
This feature keeps monitoring the eNodeB traffic load. Based on the real time traffic
load, by decreasing the PA bias voltage PA efficiency is increased.
This feature is specific to the Blade RRU series. Comparing to LOFD-001025 Adaptive
