WCDMA RAN
MIMO Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
MIMO is an antenna technology for wireless communications in which multiple antennas are
used on both the transmitter and the receiver. MIMO can increase transmission rates through
spatial multiplexing and improve channel quality through space diversity without increasing
transmit power or bandwidth.
HSPA+ uses 2x2 MIMO in the downlink to increase single-user throughput and system capacity.
2x2 MIMO uses two antennas on the transmitter and two antennas on the receiver. The peak
rate of 2x2 MIMO at the MAC layer can reach 28 Mbit/s.
2x2 MIMO requires support from the CN, RNC, NodeB, and UE. The requirements of 2x2
MIMO are listed in Table 2-1
Table 2-1 Requirements of 2x2 MIMO
Item Requirement
CN The CN that complies with 3GPP Release 6 supports 8 Mbit/s in the uplink
and 16 Mbit/s in the downlink. To support the peak rate of 28 Mbit/s in
downlink MIMO mode, the CN needs to comply with 3GPP Release 7.
RNC Because MIMO depends on HSDPA and Downlink Enhanced L2, the RNC
needs to support these two features.
NodeB Because MIMO depends on HSDPA and Downlink Enhanced L2, the
NodeB needs to support these two features.
MAC-ehs, a sub-function of Downlink Enhanced L2, is responsible for
scheduling and Transport Format and Resource Combination (TFRC)
selection for MIMO users.
Each cell needs to be configured with two TX antennas to support MIMO.
The specific RF module configured with two TX antennas varies according
to the NodeB model. For details, see chapter "Requirements of MIMO for
RF Modules." In addition, to perform channel estimation on each TX
antennas, MIMO uses pilot transmit diversity or the primary/secondary
common pilot.
UE The UE must be of HS-DSCH category 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20.

WCDMA RAN
MIMO Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
In the initial network deployment phase, MIMO and HSDPA both operate in the same cell to
fully utilize frequency resources and reduce network costs. If the frequency resources are
sufficient, you can set up cells capable of only MIMO.

WCDMA RAN
MIMO Feature Parameter Description 3 Basic Principle
3 Basic Principle
3.1 Overview
Research into MIMO standardization started with 3GPP Release 5. In 3GPP Release 7, the
following two standard schemes were finally defined:
l Per-antenna rate control (PARC): The PARC architecture is motivated by the theory stating
that the Shannon capacity limit for an open-loop MIMO link can be achieved. PARC is
used for UTRA TDD.
l Double Transmit antenna array (D-TxAA): D-TxAA is a MIMO scheme used for sending
multiple data streams with spatial multiplexing. D-TxAA is used for UTRA FDD.
This document concerns the latter. In UTRA FDD, the D-TxAA scheme usually adopts 2x2
MIMO, which requires two TX antennas on the NodeB side and two RX antennas on the UE
side.
Figure 3-1 shows the principle of 2x2 downlink MIMO.
Figure 3-1 Principle of 2x2 downlink MIMO
The NodeB MAC-ehs scheduler determines whether to transmit one or two transport blocks
(TBs) in one TTI. In the case of two TBs, two streams can be transmitted simultaneously. They
are called the primary stream (blue) and the secondary stream (red). The primary stream is always
present, but the presence of the secondary stream depends on the channel conditions.

WCDMA RAN
First, channel coding, spreading, and scrambling are performed on the TBs of the primary and
secondary streams, S1 and S2, respectively. These processes are the same as those in non-MIMO
mode.
Then, MIMO precoding is performed on S1 and S2 to ensure the orthogonality of these two
streams, reducing the interference between these two streams. The precoding formula is:
In the formula, w1 to w4 represent four precoding weights. They are determined by the NodeB
and UE during the channel estimation process.
The UE estimates the channel quality for each antenna based on the pilot signals. The two TX
antennas can transmit the same pilot signal or different pilot signals by setting different pilot
transmit modes. For details, see section 3.4 "Pilot Transmit Mode."
According to the quality of received pilot signals, the UE reports the preferred precoding weight.
The signaling information for the preferred precoding weight is referred to as the precoding
control indication (PCI). The PCI is transmitted to the NodeB together with the channel quality
indication (CQI) in a composite PCI/CQI report. The UE transmits the composite PCI/CQI report
to the NodeB using the CQI field on the HS-DPCCH. Based on the composite PCI/CQI reports,
the NodeB scheduler decides whether to schedule one or two transport blocks to the UE in one
transmission time interval (TTI) and also determines the transport block size and modulation
scheme used for each of the transport blocks.
MIMO uses the same control channels as those before MIMO is introduced. However, the
signaling carried on the control channels is different. The signaling formats on the HS-SCCH
and HS-DPCCH have been changed to process the following additional information required
by MIMO:
l Transport block (TB) sizes for each stream
l Modulation and coding scheme for each stream
l CQI for both antennas
l Antenna precoding weight reported or used
l More signaling sent to the UE to support dual-stream transmission
l More feedback received from the UE
Therefore, the HS-DPCCH frame format is optimized for MIMO, and a new HS-SCCH frame
format, known as HS-SCCH type 3, is introduced. For more information, see sections3.2
Changes to HS-DPCCH Influenced by MIMO and 3.3 HS-SCCH Type 3.
In addition, the messages over the Iub and Uu interfaces are enhanced to transfer MIMO-related
information. For details, see section 3.5 Enhanced Messages for MIMO.
3.2 Changes to HS-DPCCH Influenced by MIMO
3.2.1 Overview
For UEs not configured with MIMO, the HS-DPCCH only needs to indicate the ACK/NACK
and CQI information for one stream. For UEs configured with MIMO, the channel coding for

WCDMA RAN
the HS-DPCCH has been changed, so the HS-DPCCH needs to indicate the ACK/NACK, PCI,
and CQI information for one or both streams.
Figure 3-2 shows the general coding flow for UEs configured in MIMO mode.
Figure 3-2 Coding flow for HS-DPCCH for UEs configured in MIMO mode
As shown in Figure 3-2, the acknowledgement message is coded to 10 bits that are denoted
w0, w1,...w9. The PCI and CQI information is coded to 19 bits that are denoted b0, b1,...b19.
For detailed information about the channel coding for the HS-DPCCH, see section "Coding for
HS-DPCCH" in 3GPP TS 25.212.
3.2.2 ACK Reporting

In non-MIMO mode, the first slot of the HS-DPCCH subframe carries the feedback information
(ACK or NACK). ACK/NACK indicates whether the downlink transport block is received
successfully on the UE side.
In MIMO mode, if the NodeB MAC-ehs scheduler transmits one transport block (TB), the ACK/
NACK is the same as that in non-MIMO mode. If the NodeB MAC-ehs scheduler transmits two
TBs, the ACKs/NACKs for the two downlink TBs, primary and secondary TBs, need to be
transmitted in the first slot of the HS-DPCCH subframe.
Table 3-1 lists the information carried in the first slot of the HS-DPCCH subframe when the
UE is configured in non-MIMO mode.

The NodeB MAC-ehs scheduler determines whether to send new data or retransmit data
according to the message returned.

WCDMA RAN
For details, see section "Coding for HS-DPCCH" in 3GPP TS 25.212.
3.2.3 PCI Reporting

In Figure 3-1, the primary stream (blue) uses the weights w1 and w2, and the secondary stream
(red) uses the weights w3 and w4. These weights are defined as follows:
When the value of w2 is determined, the values of w1, w3, and w4 can all be determined according
to the above formulas. The UE estimates the value of w2 and reports it to the NodeB. w2 is
indicated by the PCI and transmitted on the HS-DPCCH. Upon receiving the PCI from the UE,
the NodeB determines the value of w2 and notifies the UE of the value through the HS-SCCH.
w2 can be changed in each subframe of the HS-PDSCH.
The precoding weight w2 is mapped to PCI values, as defined in Table Table 3-3.
Table 3-3 Mapping of preferred precoding weight w2 to PCI values

W2 PCI Value
(1+j)/2 00
(1-j)/2 01
(-1+j)/2 10
(-1-j)/2 11
PCI occupies two bits and is transmitted with CQI in the last two slots in each subframe of the
HS-DPCCH.
For details about the PCI and precoding, see section "Precoding control indication (PCI)
definition" in 3GPP TS 25.214.
3.2.4 CQI Reporting

Both the single-stream CQI and the dual-stream CQI need to be reported. The reason for this is
that, even when the channel conditions allow dual-stream transmission, the scheduler may use
the single-stream transmission mode, for example, if there is only a small amount of data to be
transmitted.
The UE reports type A CQIs and type B CQIs periodically. Figure 3-3 shows an example of
CQI reporting. Here, the UE reports four type A CQIs and one type B CQI in each reporting
period.
Figure 3-3 An example of CQI reporting

WCDMA RAN
Type A CQI and type B CQI are described as follows:
l Type A CQI indicates the number of transport blocks (one or two) that can be transmitted
simultaneously in a TTI and the transport format supported by each transport block.
l Type B CQI indicates the transport format supported by a transport block.
Note that the dual-stream CQI is considered only in dual-stream transmission mode and the
single-stream CQI is considered only in single-stream transmission. The NodeB depends only
on type B CQI if it determines to use the single-stream transmission mode, because type A CQIs
reported by the UE may be dual-stream CQIs under favorable channel conditions.
When the UE reports both types of CQI, the RAN obtains the complete channel condition
information for single-stream transmission and dual-stream transmission. The RAN can then
schedule a single stream or two streams as appropriate for the UE and the cell.
CQI Mapping Table

After a service is set up on the HS-DSCH, the UE has to monitor the HS-SCCHs in each TTI
and report CQIs periodically even if there is no data on the HS-DSCH.
The CQIs reported by UEs indicate channel conditions through CQI mapping tables. As shown
in Table 3-4, UEs of different categories correspond to specific CQI mapping tables.

The CQI mapping tables are not described in this document. For details, see section 6A.2.3 "CQI
tables" in 3GPP TS 25.214. Note that the transport block sizes corresponding to some CQIs in
the CQI mapping tables are changed for better performance in Huawei implementation.
3.3 HS-SCCH Type 3

To implement downlink MIMO, a new HS-SCCH frame format, HS-SCCH type 3, has been
introduced. UEs configured with MIMO use the HS-SCCH type 3 in either single-stream or
dual-stream transmission mode.
The HS-SCCH type 3 is divided into two parts, which carry different information each:
l Part 1 carries the channelization code set used by transport blocks, the number of transport
blocks, modulation schemes, and PCIs.
The number of bits in part 1 and the meaning of each bit in dual-stream transmission mode
are the same as those in single-stream transmission mode.
Three bits are used to indicate the Modulation scheme and number of transport blocks, as
listed in Table 3-5.
Table 3-5 Modulation scheme and number of transport blocks information

WCDMA RAN

Scheme
010 64QAM 64QAM 2
001 64QAM 16QAM 2
000 QPSK N/A 1
NOTE
In Table 3-5, N/A means that there is no secondary transport block. Therefore, the current transmission
mode is single-stream mode.
When the three bits are 101, the modulation scheme for the secondary transport block (TB) and
the transmission mode are indicated by the last bit of channelization code set (CCS):
l If the last bit of CCS is 0, the number of TBs is 2 (the transmission mode is dual-stream
mode) and the modulation scheme for the secondary TB is QPSK.
l If the last bit of CCS is 1, the number of TBs is 1 (the transmission mode is single-stream
mode).
Based on such information, the UE knows whether the single-stream or dual-stream
transmission mode is used.
l Part 2 carries the transport block size, hybrid automatic retransmission request (HARQ)
process information, redundancy and constellation version, and UE identity.
In single-stream transmission mode, part 2 carries the process number, transport block size,
and redundancy version of only the single stream.
In dual-stream transmission mode, part 2 carries the process number of the primary stream
that is configured by the higher layers. It also carries the transport block sizes and
redundancy versions of both the primary and secondary streams. The process number of
the secondary stream is calculated by the UE using the process number of the primary
stream as follows:
(HAPpb + Nproc/2) mod (Nproc)
Where:
– HAPpb is the process number of the primary stream.
– Nproc is the number of HARQ processes configured by higher layers.
For more information about the HS-SCCH type 3, see section "Coding for HS-SCCH type 3"
in 3GPP TS 25.212.
3.4 Pilot Transmit Mode
3.4.1 Overview
In a MIMO-capable cell, UEs configured with MIMO require the pilot signal from the NodeB
for estimating the channel conditions between multiple RX antennas and multiple TX antennas.
The UE can estimate the channel conditions of each TX antenna in the following two modes:

WCDMA RAN
l Pilot transmit diversity mode

In pilot transmit diversity mode, the pilot signals are carried on the P-CPICH and are
transmitted through the two antenna ports. One antenna sends the modulation pattern of
antenna port 1 of the P-CPICH. The other antenna sends the modulation pattern of antenna
port 2 of the P-CPICH.
l Primary/Secondary common Pilot (PSP) mode
In the PSP mode, the pilot signals are carried on both the P-CPICH and S-CPICH.
One antenna sends the modulation pattern of antenna port 1 of the P-CPICH. The other
antenna sends the modulation pattern of antenna port 1 of the S-CPICH.
In space time transmit diversity (STTD) mode, the receiver of a legacy HSDPA UE is
downgraded from an equalization receiver to a RAKE receiver, and the performance degrades
significantly as a result. Therefore, the PSP mode is recommended.
3.4.2 Pilot Transmit Diversity

In pilot transmit diversity mode, the signals on the SCH are transmitted from the two antennas
in time-switched transmit diversity (TSTD) mode. The HS-PDSCH and other channels in the
cell are transmitted from the two antennas in STTD mode.
STTD can optimize power allocation. The total power allocated to each channel is the same as
that collected in no-diversity cells. Assume that the TX power of a cell is 20 W, the power margin
is 10% (2 W), the TX power of the P-CPICH is 1 W, and the TX power of the CCH is 1 W.
Figure 3-4 shows the resource allocation between two antennas in pilot transmit diversity mode.
Figure 3-4 Resource allocation between two antennas in pilot transmit diversity mode
Run the ADD UCELLSETUP command to enable a cell to support STTD and set the transmit
diversity mode of each channel to STTD. For the AICH, PICH, and S-CCPCH, run the ADD
UAICH, ADD UPICH, and ADD USCCPCHBASIC commands to set the STTDInd
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to TRUE.
3.4.3 Primary/Secondary Common Pilot (PSP)

In the Primary/Secondary common Pilot (PSP) mode, the S-CPICH needs to be configured with
the same power as the P-CPICH for channel estimation in the UE. In this mode, cell capacity is
degraded because the available power is decreased, as shown in Figure 3-5. When only R5
HSDPA UEs and R99 UEs exist in the cell, PA1 and PA2 can be allocated only 5 W available
power. That is, the power on the two PAs is unbalanced. To balance the power, the virtual antenna

mapping (VAM) technique is introduced. For detailed information about the VAM technique,
see section 9.2 Virtual Antenna Mapping.
Figure 3-5 Resource allocation between two antennas in PSP mode
The S-CPICH can be added by running the ADD USCPICH command.
In PSP mode when both MIMO and HSDPA are enabled, the MIMO signals and pilot signals
carried on the S-CPICH might cause interference to HSDPA UEs that do not use MIMO,
increasing the performance loss. To reduce such performance loss, the intelligent interference
control (IIC) technique can be used. For detailed information about IIC, see section 9.4
Intelligent Interference Control.
3.5 Enhanced Messages for MIMO
3.5.1 Enhanced Messages for MIMO on Iub Interface

This section describes the enhanced messages for MIMO during the NodeB Application Part
(NBAP) procedure. For detailed information, see 3GPP TS 25.433.
Resource Status Indication
The resource status indication procedure is initiated by the NodeB to report the status of NodeB
physical resources to the CRNC.
During the resource status indication procedure, if the local cell is MIMO-capable when it is set
up, then the NodeB includes the MIMO Capability IE which is set to MIMO Capable for the
local cell in the RESOURCE STATUS INDICATION message.

WCDMA RAN
Audit Procedure
The audit procedure is initiated by the CRNC. In this procedure, the configuration and status of
the logical resources in the NodeB are audited, and for each MIMO-capable local cell, the
NodeB includes the MIMO Capability IE that is set to MIMO Capable in the AUDIT
RESPONSE message.
Cell Setup or Reconfiguration Procedure
During the cell setup or reconfiguration procedure, if the MIMO Pilot Configuration IE is
included in the CELL SETUP REQUEST or CELL RECONFIGURATION REQUEST
message, then the parameters defining the pilot configuration for MIMO are stored in the NodeB
and applied when the MIMO mode is used.
Radio Link Setup Procedure
During the radio link setup procedure, if the MIMO Activation Indicator IE is included in the
HS-DSCH FDD Information IE in the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message, then the
NodeB activates the MIMO mode for the HS-DSCH Radio Link. In addition, the NodeB decides
the UE reporting configuration (N/M ratio) for MIMO and includes the MIMO N/M Ratio IE in
the HS-DSCH FDD Information Response IE in the RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE
message. The HARQ Memory Partitioning Information Extension for MIMO IE is also
included in the RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE message.

WCDMA RAN
N/M ratio is used to indicate the reporting period of CQI type A/B.
Radio Link Addition Procedure
In this procedure, the MIMO-related elements are the same as those in the radio link setup
procedure.
Synchronized Radio Link Reconfiguration Preparation Procedure
The synchronized radio link reconfiguration preparation procedure is performed to prepare a

new configuration of radio link(s) related to a NodeB communication context.
In this procedure, the MIMO-related elements are the same as those in the radio link setup
procedure.
3.5.2 Enhanced Messages for MIMO on Uu Interface

This section describes the enhanced RRC signaling on the Uu interface, For detailed information,
see 3GPP TS 25.331.

used in following scenarios to satisfy various requirements if the network is properly configured.

WCDMA RAN

4.1 DC-HSDPA+MIMO Scenarios

l If DC-HSDPA+MIMO is required, downlink MIMO is available after
DCMIMO_HSDPA under the HspaPlusSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to
ON.
l If DC-HSDPA+MIMO is not required, downlink MIMO is available when the following
conditions are met:
– DCMIMO_HSDPA under the HspaPlusSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set
to OFF.
– The MIMO64QAMorDCHSDPASwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to
MIMO_64QAM, and other parameters are set as described in 4.2 MIMO+64QAM
Scenarios.
4.2 MIMO+64QAM Scenarios

l If MIMO+64QAM is required, downlink MIMO is available after 64QAM_MIMO under
the HspaPlusSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to ON.
l If MIMO+64QAM is not required, downlink MIMO is available when the following

– 64QAM_MIMO under the HspaPlusSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to
OFF.
– The MIMOor64QAMSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to MIMO, and
other parameters are set as described in 4.3 Ordinary MIMO Scenarios.
4.3 Ordinary MIMO Scenarios

Downlink MIMO is available if the following conditions are met:
l Downlink MIMO and downlink Layer 2 enhancement are required, and both features have
been activated.
– To activate downlink MIMO, set the HspaPlusSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter to MIMO and the CfgSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to
CFG_HSDPA_MIMO_SWITCH.
– To activate downlink Layer 2 enhancement, set the HspaPlusSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to DL_L2ENHANCED.
l The HS-DSCH serves as the downlink transport channel, and the E-DCH/DCH serves as
the uplink transport channel.
In the case of combined services, the bearer scheme for the service with the highest rate prevails.
For example, if VoIP services and 384 kbit/s BE services with MIMO enabled are combined
and the VoIP service rate is lower than 384 kbit/s, MIMO is applied to the combined services.

WCDMA RAN
MIMO Feature Parameter Description 5 TFRC
5 TFRC
For UEs with favorable channel conditions, adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) use spatial
multiplexing and dual-stream transmission to provide higher transmission rates. For a UE with
unfavorable channel conditions, AMC uses transmit diversity and single-stream transmission to
achieve better transmission quality.
In dual-stream transmission mode, transport format and resource combination (TFRC) selection
is used to determine the TB size, transmit power for each stream in addition to the number of
HS-PDSCH codes, the start codes, and the HS-SCCH codes shared by the two streams. In single-
stream transmission mode, TFRC selection is the same as that in HSDPA.
In dual-stream transmission mode, TFRC is performed on each stream. Both streams use the
same available HS-PDSCH codes.
Before receiving the CQIs from a UE, the NodeB does not schedule resources for data of the
UE. The TFRC algorithm is not performed on the UE, either.
For detailed information about TFRC, see the HSDPA Feature Parameter Description.
Single-Stream or Dual-Stream Transmission Selection

UEs configured with MIMO first attempt to use the dual-stream transmission because this mode
is better for MIMO and provides higher throughput for the UE.
The prerequisites for using dual-stream transmission are as follows:
l The UE reports dual-stream CQIs.

l A pair of HARQ process IDs meets the requirements of 3GPP TS 25.212, stipulated in the
following formula:
HAPsb = (HAPpb + Nproc/2) mod (Nproc)
Where:
– HAPpb is the HARQ process ID of the primary stream.
– HAPsb is the HARQ process ID of the secondary stream.
– Nproc is the number of HARQ processes configured at higher layers for the UE.
For details, see section 4.6B.2.5 "HARQ process identifier mapping" in 3GPP TS
25.212.
l None of the streams are allocated zero power.

WCDMA RAN
MIMO Feature Parameter Description 5 TFRC
If these prerequisites are met, TFRC checks the traffic volume supported in dual-stream
transmission mode and single-stream transmission mode. If more data can be transmitted in dual-
stream transmission mode, this mode is configured.
In each TTI, the algorithm determines whether the conditions for using the dual-stream
transmission mode are met. If the conditions are met, dual-stream transmission is performed in
this TTI. Otherwise, single-stream transmission is performed in this TTI.

WCDMA RAN
6.1 Overview
The MIMO and 64QAM technologies are introduced in 3GPP Release 7. A single UE, however,
cannot use these two technologies simultaneously. To further increase the downlink rate, 3GPP
Release 8 introduces downlink MIMO with 64QAM (also known as MIMO+64QAM). With
this technology, the theoretical downlink peak rate can reach 42 Mbit/s.
The requirements of downlink MIMO with 64QAM are listed in Table 6-1.
Table 6-1 Requirements of downlink MIMO with 64QAM
Item Requirement
CN The CN needs to support the downlink peak rate of 42 Mbit/s

provided by downlink MIMO with 64QAM.
RNC The RNC needs to support downlink enhanced L2, on which

downlink MIMO with 64QAM depends.
The RNC also needs to control the use of downlink MIMO with
64QAM during RB setup, reconfiguration, and handover.
NodeB The NodeB needs to support downlink MIMO, downlink 64QAM,

and downlink enhanced L2.
The TFRC selection function and scheduler of the NodeB use the
new CQI mapping tables for UE categories 19 and 20.
The MIMO technology uses HS-SCCH type 3. The coding method
for HS-SCCH type 3 remains unchanged but some IEs are
extended.
UE The UE needs to support HS-DSCH category 19, 20, 27, 28, or

later.
6.2 Basic Principle

Overview
Downlink MIMO with 64QAM enables a UE to use MIMO and 64QAM simultaneously to
receive HSDPA data, as shown in Figure 6-1. In other words, downlink 64QAM is used in
downlink MIMO mode to increase the number of bits per symbol and to obtain higher
transmission rates.

WCDMA RAN

Part II (2 streams) Xtbspb(6)+ Xtbssb(6)+Xhap(4)+Xrvpb(2)+Xrvsb(2)+ CRC(16bits)
HS-SCCH type 3 indicates the modulation scheme by a 3-bit field for downlink MIMO with
64QAM, as it does for dual-stream transmission in downlink MIMO. The used values 101, 010,
and 001 are described in the following table.

101 64QAM Indicated by the last Indicated by the last

bit of CCS bit of CCS
010 64QAM 64QAM 2
001 64QAM 16QAM 2
When the three bits are 101, the modulation scheme for the secondary transport block (TB) and
the transmission mode are indicated by the last bit of Channelization-Code-Set (CCS):
l If the last bit of CCS is 0, the number of TBs is 2 (that is, the transmission mode is dual-
stream mode) and the modulation scheme for the secondary TB is QPSK.
l If the last bit of CCS is 1, the number of TBs is 1 (that is, the transmission mode is single-
stream mode).
6.3 Radio Bearer Scheme

As defined in 3GPP R8 specifications, a UE cannot use downlink MIMO and DC-HSDPA
simultaneously. When both are supported, whether downlink MIMO with 64QAM or DC-

WCDMA RAN
HSDPA is used depends on the MIMO64QAMorDCHSDPASwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910)

parameter.
In addition, downlink MIMO with 64QAM and HS-SCCH Less Operation cannot be used
simultaneously. When both are supported, downlink MIMO with 64QAM is preferred.
During the setup of a PS streaming service or PS BE service, downlink MIMO with 64QAM
can be selected if the following conditions are met:
l Downlink MIMO, downlink 64QAM, downlink MIMO with 64QAM, and downlink
enhanced L2 are supported by both the network and the UE, and all of them are activated.
l The downlink HS-DSCH and uplink E-DCH/DCH are selected as transport channels.
l The parameter HspaPlusSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to 64QAM_MIMO.
l The parameter CfgSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to
CFG_MIMO_AND_64QAM_SWITCH.
l The DL64QAMMIMO parameter on the NodeB side is set to TRUE.
l The parameter MIMO64QAMorDCHSDPASwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to
MIMO_64QAM, or DC-HSDPA is not activated.
6.4 Scheduling Method

The UE needs to monitor all the HS-SCCHs in the cell. The maximum number of HS-SCCHs
per cell is 4. The NodeB scheduler can select any HS-SCCH for the UE.
The scheduling method of downlink MIMO with 64QAM is the similar to that of downlink
MIMO. The difference is that the scheduler needs to use the new CQI mapping tables F, G, J,
and K to perform TFRC.

6.5 Mobility Management

When a UE triggers a serving cell change procedure by an event or in a periodic manner, the
policies for selecting the technique for the UE in the target cell are as follows:
Determine the highest technology for the UE in the target cell based on the bearer scheme. If
the technology is higher than or the same as that used by the UE in the source cell, enable the

WCDMA RAN
UE to use the same technology in the target cell. Otherwise, enable the UE to use the highest
technology in the target cell.
Using the same technology before and after the serving cell change provides the following
benefits:
l The UE configuration does not change in the case of ping-pong handovers.

l The UE performance does not fluctuate after the serving cell change.

WCDMA RAN
MIMO Feature Parameter Description 7 DC-HSDPA and MIMO Dynamic Selection
7 DC-HSDPA and MIMO Dynamic Selection
This section describes the feature WRFD-010704 Flexible HSPA+ Technology Selection.
One or two DC-HSDPA cells may support MIMO, depending on how the DC-HSDPA cells are
configured. Gains also vary according to whether DC-HSDPA, MIMO, or both are used. DC-
HSDPA UEs have higher throughput in low-traffic cells, whereas MIMO UEs have higher
throughput in high-traffic cells. Therefore, Huawei introduces the DC-HSDPA and MIMO
dynamic selection algorithm to dynamically select which technique to use when both DC-
HSDPA and MIMO are available. This algorithm decides whether to use DC-HSDPA or MIMO
to carry newly arrived services according to the current number of HSDPA UEs and the downlink
load status in the cell. This algorithm helps to achieve higher throughput and better user
experience. The switch for this algorithm is
CFG_DC_MIMO_DYNAMIC_SELECT_SWITCH in the CfgSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
The DC-HSDPA and MIMO dynamic selection algorithm affects neither the original DRD
algorithm nor the HSPA+ technical satisfaction levels. The optimal technique is selected only
after the RNC selects an appropriate cell using the DRD algorithm and selects DC-HSDPA or
MIMO for the service. Note that the selected cell must support DC-HSDPA and at least one cell
of the DC-HSDPA cell group where the selected cell belongs must support MIMO.
Figure 7-1 2-carrier networking
Figure 7-1 shows a two-carrier network where two cells form a DC-HSDPA cell group. If the
RNC selects cell 1 for new services by using the DRD algorithm and selects DC-HSDPA or
MIMO for the UEs, it also decides:
l If cell 1 supports MIMO, the downlink transmit power of cell 2 exceeds the threshold
SecCellTcpThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) and the number of HSDPA UEs in cell 2 exceeds the

WCDMA RAN
MIMO Feature Parameter Description 7 DC-HSDPA and MIMO Dynamic Selection
threshold SecCellHUserNumThd(BSC6900,BSC6910), then the RNC selects cell 1 for

new services and selects MIMO for the UEs.
l If cell 2 supports MIMO, the downlink transmit power of cell 1 exceeds SecCellTcpThd
(BSC6900,BSC6910) and the number of HSDPA UEs in cell 1 exceeds
SecCellHUserNumThd(BSC6900,BSC6910), then the RNC selects cell 2 for new services
and selects MIMO for the UEs.
l Otherwise, the RNC directly selects DC-HSDPA for the UEs in cell 1.
If the RNC selects cell 1 for new services without using the DRD algorithm and selects MIMO
for the UEs, then the RNC decides:
l If cell 1 supports MIMO, the downlink transmit power of cell 2 exceeds SecCellTcpThd
(BSC6900,BSC6910) and the number of HSDPA UEs in cell 2 exceeds
SecCellHUserNumThd(BSC6900,BSC6910), then the RNC selects cell 1 for new services
and selects MIMO for the UEs.
l Otherwise, the RNC directly selects DC-HSDPA for the UEs in cell 1.
Note that the number of HSDPA UEs in a cell is the sum of DC-HSDPA UEs and non-DC-
HSDPA UEs, for both primary and secondary carriers.
Gains introduced by this feature vary according to the UE distribution and penetration rate.
l This feature introduces significant gains if most UEs in a cell are likely to locate near to
the cell center. Otherwise, this feature cannot introduce noticeable gains.
l Gains introduced by this feature increases with the penetration rate of UEs capable of this
feature. If the UE penetration rate is low, this feature cannot introduce noticeable gains.
If the load on DCHs of the two DC-HSDPA carriers is high, for example, constantly higher than
40%, this feature should be disabled. If this feature is enabled when the load is high, the
throughput will be affected.

This chapter describes the feature WRFD-010700 Performance Improvement of MIMO and
HSDPA Co-carrier.

WCDMA RAN
9.1 Overview
If the frequency resource is ample, the cells meant for only MIMO users can be set up. In the
initial networking phase, MIMO and HSDPA both operate in the same cell to save frequency
resources and reduce network costs. The recommended scenario of MIMO with HSDPA (MIMO
+HSDPA) is shown in Figure 9-1.
Figure 9-1 MIMO+HSDPA
As shown in Figure 9-1, assume that f1 carries an R99+HSDPA cell and f2 carries a MIMO
+HSDPA+R99 cell. The pilot transmit mode of f2 is PSP mode. The baseband output signals of
the two cells are transmitted after being mapped to two PAs through virtual antenna mapping
(VAM). MIMO Prime is also used to improve the UE receive quality.
For MIMO+HSDPA, it is recommended that R99 services be established on f1 and HSDPA

services be established on f2.
With this networking, the signals of MIMO and secondary CPICH have an impact on non-MIMO
HSDPA UEs and may lead to performance loss. Huawei introduces the IIC technique to reduce
the performance loss of non-MIMO HSDPA UEs using equalization receivers.
In conclusion, Huawei adopts the PSP, VAM, MIMO Prime, and IIC techniques together to
improve the performance of a MIMO+HSDPA cell. Figure 9-2 illustrates how these techniques
work together as a whole.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 9-2 Position of each technique in the entire solution
The following sections describe VAM, MIMO Prime, and IIC. For details about PSP, see section
3.4.3 Primary/Secondary Common Pilot (PSP).
9.2 Virtual Antenna Mapping

Basic Principle
The switch for this function is VAM.
VAM is used to balance the transmit power of two PAs and to maximize their power efficiency.
It is used in cells in PSP mode. Figure 9-3 shows the principle of VAM.
Figure 9-3 Principle of VAM with MIMO+HSDPA
As shown in Figure 9-3, the data from virtual antenna 1 (V1) and virtual antenna 2 (V2) is evenly
distributed to the two physical antennas through VAM transformation matrix. Therefore, a
balance is maintained between the TX powers of the two physical antennas.
The VAM transformation matrix is as follows:

WCDMA RAN
Here, the values of h1, h2, h3, and h4 are predefined so that P1 and P2 have roughly the same
effect.
In a MIMO+HSDPA cell, the input data of V1 is from MIMO, CCH, R99 and HSDPA, and the
input data of V2 is from MIMO. In an R99+HSDPA cell, the input data of V1 is from CCH,
R99 and HSDPA, and there is no data input for V2.
PCI Code Book Restriction

In the MIMO single-stream scenario, the power on the two antennas through VAM depends on
the PCI values, which constantly change with the channel conditions. Therefore, the output
power of the two antennas is unbalanced. As a result, the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR)
of the PA might be extremely high. To solve this problem, the PCI code book can be restricted.
As a result, the PCI value change and the consequent power imbalance can be reduced. This
function restricts the MIMO single-stream PCI to {0, 3} and also adopts a specific form of VAM
matrix to reduce the power imbalance and the PAPR.
The switch for the PCI code book restriction function is PRECDWSRSW.
9.3 MIMO Prime

MIMO Prime is based on the VAM technique. MIMO Prime improves network performance in
MIMO and HSDPA co-carrier mode. As shown in Figure 9-4, the data from virtual antenna 1
(V1) and virtual antenna 2 (V2) is evenly distributed to the two physical antennas through VAM
transformation matrix. Therefore, a balance is maintained between the TX powers of the two
physical antennas. In addition, MIMO Prime adjusts the phase of signals transmitted by antenna
2 to minimize the phase difference between the signals transmitted by antenna 1 and antenna 2.
This increases UE receive quality and throughput.
NOTE
The VAM transformation matrix is as follows:
Here, the values of h1, h2, h3, and h4 are predefined so that P1 and P2 have roughly the same effect.
In a MIMO+HSDPA cell, the input data of V1 is from MIMO, CCH, R99 and HSDPA, and the input data
of V2 is from MIMO.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 9-4 Position of MIMO Prime when VAM is used
In cells that support MIMO and HSDPA co-carrier mode, MIMO Prime is applicable when the
following conditions are met:
l The license controlling the Performance Improvement of MIMO and HSDPA Co-carrier
feature and the license controlling the MIMO Prime feature have been activated.
l VAM has been enabled.
NOTE
The MIMOPRIMESW parameter, which specifies whether to enable MIMO Prime in non-MIMO cells,
does not need to be set for MIMO cells.
For details about MIMO Prime, see the MIMO Prime Feature Parameter Description.
PCI Code Book Restriction

In the MIMO single-stream scenario, the power on the two antennas through VAM depends on
the PCI values, which constantly change with the channel conditions. Therefore, the output
power of the two antennas is unbalanced. As a result, the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR)
of the PA might be extremely high. To solve this problem, the PCI code book can be restricted.
As a result, the PCI value change and the consequent power imbalance can be reduced. This
function restricts the MIMO single-stream PCI to {0, 3} and also adopts a specific form of VAM
matrix to reduce the power imbalance and the PAPR.
The switch for the PCI code book restriction function is PRECDWSRSW.
9.4 Intelligent Interference Control

The switch for this function is IICSW.
When the PSP mode is used, the signals transmitted through the secondary antenna are not
recognized by legacy HSDPA UEs. Therefore, the receiver of the legacy HSDPA UE does not
suppress the multipath interference caused by these signals. As a result, the performance of
legacy HSDPA services degrades. The IIC function intelligently monitors the proportion of
individual users in a cell and dynamically allocates the total available power to MIMO users and
HSDPA users. In this manner, the IIC function controls the interference of the signals transmitted

WCDMA RAN
through the secondary antenna on the HSDPA signals without deteriorating the HSDPA
performance.
When IIC is applied, if the power of primary and secondary common pilots is different, the
performance of IIC function may decrease. Therefore, it is recommended that the power of
primary and secondary common pilots be the same when applying IIC function. That is, it is
recommended that the parameter ScpichPower(BSC6900,BSC6910) be set to a value between
-5 and 150.

11.1 WRFD-010684 2x2 MIMO

System Capacity
2x2 MIMO increases the single user peak rate and the average cell throughput. With the
bandwidth unchanged, 2x2 MIMO increases the average cell throughput by 14% to 23%.
Theoretically, 2x2 MIMO can double the single user peak rate.
Network Performance
With Closed Loop Transmitting Diversity (CLTD), 2x2 MIMO can increase the data rates of
UEs at the cell edge and therefore extend coverage of the cell.
However, 2x2 MIMO also increases the digital signal processor (DSP) load of the NodeB. HS-
DPCCH data processing of dual-stream MIMO increases the DSP load. The DSP load
significantly increases when HS-DPCCH is established on the WBBPe board.

This feature improves the spectrum efficiency.
Network Performance
If an MIMO carrier uses VAM but a non-MIMO carrier does not use VAM, the success rate of
DRDs between a cell using the MIMO carrier and a cell using the non-MIMO carrier is low.
This problem can be solved by turning on the DRD rollback switch. To turn on the DRD rollback
switch, run the SET URRCTRLSWITCH command with the
RNC_RBRECFG_DRD_FAIL_ROLLBACK_SWITCH and
RNC_RBSETUP_DRD_FAIL_ROLLBACK_SWITCH check boxes under the
PROCESSSWITCH2(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter selected.

12 Engineering Guidelines
12.1 Deployment Suggestions
12.1.1 WRFD-010684 2x2 MIMO

2x2 MIMO increases system capacity. 2x2 MIMO is recommended in the following scenarios:
l Densely populated urban areas: In these areas, sites are close to each other and often
experience multipath propagation. The network covering these areas has heavy traffic and
a high signal-to-interference ratio (SIR), and UEs usually move at low speeds.
2x2 MIMO saves carrier resources without affecting the existing network topology. When
carrier resources are sufficient, the user experience of MIMO users is improved. For details,
see 12.1.3 WRFD-010700 Performance Improvement of MIMO and HSDPA Co-
carrier.
12.1.2 WRFD-010693 Downlink 64QAM+MIMO

This feature applies only to a network where both the DL 64QAM feature and the MIMO feature
are applicable.
12.1.3 WRFD-010700 Performance Improvement of MIMO and

HSDPA Co-carrier
This feature can be deployed only in MIMO and HSDPA co-carrier scenarios.
l MIMO and HSDPA co-carrier: This co-carrier mode saves carrier resources without
affecting the existing network topology.
l When carrier resources are sufficient, configure cells to allow only MIMO-capable UEs.
This allows MIMO to achieve optimum performance without affecting the performance of
HSDPA UEs.
l If there is more than one carrier, configure carriers to support MIMO and HSDPA on a per
carrier basis. This reduces the impact on the performance of HSDPA UEs and maximizes
the MIMO gain. The MIMO and HSDPA co-carrier configuration can be enabled on other
carriers if the number of MIMO UEs increases.

WCDMA RAN
12.1.4 WRFD-010704 Flexible HSPA+ Technology Selection

This feature can be deployed only in networks where both DC-HSDPA and MIMO can be used.
12.2 Required Information
12.2.1 WRFD-010684 2x2 MIMO

Collect the following information when deploying 2x2 MIMO:
l Proportion of MIMO UEs in a network: MIMO is not recommended for networks that have
only a small proportion of MIMO UEs.
l Radio environment: MIMO is recommended in hot-spot areas that often experience
multipath propagation and where the cell radius is small and the SIR is high.
l Data service demand: MIMO is recommended for networks where users have a high
demand for data services.
l Downlink load: MIMO is recommended for networks that have a heavy downlink load.
l Uplink data rate: The downlink data rate may be restricted if the uplink data rate is not high
enough. Therefore, enable HSUPA in MIMO-capable cells as well.

Determine the proportion of UEs that support both DC-HSDPA and MIMO in the network. This
feature is not recommended for networks where only a small number of UEs support both DC-
HSDPA and MIMO.

HSDPA Co-carrier
This feature is recommended for networks where the radio channel conditions have only slight
changes and multipath interference is low. This is because the throughput of MIMO-incapable
HSDPA UEs slightly decreases when UEs enabled with MIMO near the NodeB transmit data
under multipath interference. Changes in radio channel conditions may lead to the switching
between single-stream MIMO and dual-stream MIMO as well as data rate fluctuation, which
causes variation in the MIMO gain. The channel feedback of UEs cannot accurately reflect
changes in radio channel conditions in real time, which may deteriorate MIMO performance.
12.3 Planning
12.3.1 RF Planning
WRFD-010684 2x2 MIMO

Two RF modules must be interconnected to support 2x2 MIMO when a Huawei-delivered RF
module supports only one transmit channel. An RRU3801C (20 W) must be interconnected with
another RRU3801C (20 W) to support 2x2 MIMO.

WCDMA RAN
The transmit power for MIMO should be planned as follows:
l For an existing network, if a carrier is changed from a non-MIMO carrier to an MIMO

carrier, the transmit power should remain unchanged. For example, if the transmit power
of a non-MIMO carrier is 20 W, then the transmit power should be 2x10 W for the MIMO
carrier. If a carrier is added to implement MIMO, the total transmit power of the new carrier
should be the same as that of any other carrier. For example, if the transmit power of another
carrier is 20 W, then the transmit power of the new MIMO carrier should be 2x10 W.
l For a newly deployed network, the transmit power of an MIMO carrier and that of a non-
MIMO carrier should be the same (recommended value: 40 W).
WRFD-010700 Performance Improvement of MIMO and HSDPA Co-carrier

None
WRFD-010704 Flexible HSPA+ Technology Selection

The RF plan for the Flexible HSPA+ Technology Selection feature must meet the RF plan
requirements of both WRFD-010696 DC-HSDPA and WRFD-010684 2×2 MIMO.
12.3.2 Network Planning
WRFD-010684 2x2 MIMO

1. MIMO and HSDPA should be deployed on the same carrier.
Deploying MIMO and HSDPA on the same carrier saves carrier resources without affecting the
existing network topology. Configure cells to allow only MIMO-capable UEs to access the
network only when carrier resources are sufficient.
2. PSP mode should be used in MIMO scenarios.
In cells that allow only MIMO-capable UEs, the MIMO performance in PSP mode is similar to
that in STTD mode. However, the PSP mode can be used in MIMO and HSDPA co-carrier
scenarios to prevent deterioration of the performance of UEs that support only HSDPA.
3. MIMO should be deployed carrier by carrier in MIMO and HSDPA co-carrier scenarios.
The purpose is to minimize the impact on legacy HSDPA UEs.

The network plan for the Flexible HSPA+ Technology Selection feature must meet the network
plan requirements of both WRFD-010696 DC-HSDPA and WRFD-010684 2×2 MIMO.
WRFD-010700 Performance Improvement of MIMO and HSDPA Co-carrier

This feature can be used only in MIMO and HSDPA co-carrier scenarios.

WCDMA RAN
12.3.3 Hardware Planning
WRFD-010684 2x2 MIMO and WRFD-010700 Performance Improvement of MIMO

and HSDPA Co-carrier
The RRUs of the same type, feeders of the same length, and jumpers of the same length should
be used to reduce the difference in delay between two RF channels. Different types of RRUs
can be used if the delay difference between two RF channels is less than 1/8 chip. If both dual-
and single-polarized antennas can be used, dual-polarized antennas are recommended to ease
hardware installation. If single-polarized antennas must be used, two single-polarized antennas
must be mounted vertically to each other and an appropriate distance must be reserved between
them to keep channels irrelevant to each other. Theoretically, the distance between them must
be greater than half a wavelength.

The hardware plan for the Flexible HSPA+ Technology Selection feature must meet the
hardware plan requirements of both WRFD-010696 DC-HSDPA and WRFD-010684 2×2
MIMO.

Method 2: some license control items, such as UL CE Num, can be allocated through both
the common group and private groups. In this case, the licensed values specified by the
private group are preferentially used, and the licensed value specified by the common group
is used on a first-come, first-served basis. For the NodeB license allocation among multiple
operators, see License Management Feature Parameter Description.
l Other Prerequisites
– The software version must be RAN11.0 or later.
– The NodeB/CN version must be Release 9 or Release 8. Release 7 and later versions
support MIMO. RAN14.0 corresponds to Release 9. Protocol Release 9 is recommended
for the NodeB and Release 8 is recommended for the CN.
– The UE is of category 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30 or 32, as specified by
the 3GPP protocols.
– Logical cells have been established on the RNC side.
– For details about the hardware deployment related to MIMO, see "2x2 MIMO
Configuration" in NodeB Technical Description.
Precautions
Before enabling this feature in an activated cell, you need to:
l Deactivate the cell. This will interrupt services in the cell. Therefore, enable the feature
when the traffic of the cell is light.
l Ensure that there are sufficient baseband resources on the baseband processing board.
Otherwise, this feature cannot be activated.
Because the downlink bandwidth for transmit diversity is twice the downlink bandwidth for non-
transmit diversity, the number of transmit diversity cells supported by a CPRI port is less than
the number of non-transmit diversity cells supported by the CPRI port.

12.4.2 Deploying Downlink 64QAM+MIMO

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature WRFD-010693
DL 64QAM+MIMO.
Requirements
– The 3900 series base station must be configured with the WBBPb, WBBPd, or WBBPf
board.
– The BTS3812E and BTS3812AE must be configured with the EBBI or EDLP board.
The uplink service cannot be set up on the HULP, NDLP, or HBBI board. The HBBI
and HDLP board do not support this feature.

WCDMA RAN
NOTE
The NodeB MML command DSP ULOCELLRES can be used to query whether a downlink
resource group of a cell is established on the preceding boards.
– For the DBS3800, the BBU3806 must be configured with the EBBC or EBBCd board.
– MIMO requires two transmit channels. When RRUs with a single transmit channel are
used, for example, the RRU3804, two RRUs must be interconnected to support MIMO.
When RRUs with two transmit channels are used, for example, the RRU3808, only one
RRU is required.
– WRFD-010684 2×2 MIMO
– WRFD-010683 Downlink 64 QAM
l License
The license "The number of Cells with DL 64QAM+MIMO function enabled" on the
NodeB side has been activated. For details about the license items and how to activate the
license, see License Management Feature Parameter Description.
The UE needs to belong to HS-DSCH category 19, 20, 27, 28, or later.
Activation
Step 1 Enable the Downlink 64QAM+MIMO feature for a cell on the NodeB side.
l For the 3900 series base station, BTS3902E, and BTS3803E, run the MML command MOD
ULOCELL (CME single configuration: NodeB Configuration Express > IUB_NodeB >
Radio Layer > xx Sector > Locell; CME batch modification center: Modifying Physical
NodeB Parameters in Batches) to modify a local cell. In this step, set DL 64QAM
+MIMO to TRUE(TRUE).
l For a BTS3812AE/BTS3812E/DBS3800, run the MML command MOD LOCELL to
modify the cell configuration.
Step 2 Run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH (CME single configuration:
UMTS Radio Global Configuration Express > Connection_Oriented RRM Switch
Configuration > Connection Oriented Algorithm Switches; CME batch modification center:
Modifying RNC Parameters in Batches) to turn on the following three RNC-level switches: In
this step, select CFG_HSDPA_MIMO_WITH_64QAM_SWITCH from the Channel
Configuration Strategy Switch list.
Step 3 Run the RNC MML command SET UFRC (CME single configuration: UMTS Radio Global
Configuration Express > Basic Resource Control Parameter Configuration > RNC Oriented FRC
Algorithm Parameters; CME batch modification center: Modifying RNC Parameters in Batches)
and perform the following operations in this step:
l Select MIMO_64QAM from the Prefered MIMO_64QAM or DC_HSDPA character
list to configure preferential use of downlink 64QAM+MIMO.
l (Optional) Select MIMO_64QAM from the HSPA Technologies Retried by UEs list to
enable DRD for downlink 64QAM+MIMO technology.

WCDMA RAN
NOTE
l Before feature verification, perform step 3. If the preferred technology planned for a cell is not 64QAM
+MIMO, restore the configuration based on the network plan after feature verification.
l Before enabling periodic DRD for downlink 64QAM+MIMO, enable periodic DRD for other features
on which this feature depends. That is, select the 64QAM and MIMO check boxes under the HSPA
Technologies Retried by UEs parameter.
Step 4 Run the RNC MML command MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH (CME single configuration:
UMTS Cell Configuration Express > Cell Parameters > Cell Algorithm Switches; CME batch
modification center: Modifying UMTS Cell Parameters in Batches) to turn on the following cell-
level switch: In this step, select 64QAM_MIMO(Cell 64QAM+MIMO Function Switch)
from the Cell Hspa Plus function switch list.
----End
Monitor the value of the VS.HSDPA.RAB.MIMO64QAM.SuccEstab counter. This counter
measures the number of HSDPA MIMO+64QAM RABs that are successfully established in a
cell. If the counter value is not zero, the Downlink 64QAM+MIMO feature is working properly
for the cell it corresponds to.
Deactivation
Step 1 Run the RNC MML command MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH (CME single configuration:
UMTS Cell Configuration Express > Cell Parameters > Cell Algorithm Switches; CME batch
modification center: Modifying UMTS Cell Parameters in Batches) to turn off the cell-level
64QAM+MIMO switch. In this step, deselect 64QAM_MIMO(Cell 64QAM+MIMO
Function Switch) from the Cell Hspa Plus function switch list.
Step 2 Run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH (CME single configuration:
UMTS Radio Global Configuration Express > Connection_Oriented RRM Switch
Configuration > Connection Oriented Algorithm Switches; CME batch modification center:
Modifying RNC Parameters in Batches) to turn off the RNC-level 64QAM+MIMO switch. In
this step, deselect CFG_HSDPA_MIMO_WITH_64QAM_SWITCH from the Channel
Configuration Strategy Switch list.

Method 3#: it is recommended that the license allocation proportion of a feature be
consistent with that of the capacity license item "HSDPA Throughput-1KBPS". The
licensed values can be set by running the SET LICENSE command. If the parameter in
this command is set to AutoAssign, the licensed values are automatically allocated among
the primary and secondary operators. If the parameter in this command is set to
ManualAssign, you also need to specify the related license parameters to implement
manual license allocation.
– If an RF module supports only one transmit channel, two RF modules must be
interconnected to support 2x2 MIMO. If an RF module supports two transmit channels,
it also supports 2x2 MIMO.
– The UE has the HSDPA Category25 or higher capability, including HSDPA category
25, 26, 27, and 28.
Precautions
Because the downlink bandwidth for transmit diversity is twice the downlink bandwidth for non-
transmit diversity, the number of transmit diversity cells supported by a CPRI port is less than
the number of non-transmit diversity cells supported by the CPRI port.

12.5 Performance Monitoring

To monitor the network performance when MIMO is enabled, check the following counters
associated with UEs and scheduling in a MIMO-capable cell:
l VS.HSDPA.MIMO.UE.Mean.Cell: an RNC counter that specifies the mean number of

MIMO UEs in a cell.
l VS.HSDPA.MIMO64QAM.UE.Mean.Cell: an RNC counter that specifies the mean
number of 64QAM+MIMO UEs in a cell.
l VS.HSDPA.UE.Mean.Cell: an RNC counter that specifies the mean number of HSDPA
UEs in a cell.
l VS.MIMOCfg.ActedNum: a NodeB counter that specifies the number of times that MIMO
UEs use MIMO dual streams in a cell.

WCDMA RAN
l VS.MIMOCfg.ScheduledNum: a NodeB counter that specifies the total number of times

that MIMO UEs are scheduled in a cell.
MIMO increases the peak data rate per user and cell throughput. Use the following counters to
check the mean HSDPA throughput and the downlink throughput in a cell before and after
MIMO is enabled:
l VS.HSDPA.MeanChThroughput: an RNC counter that specifies the mean downlink

HSDPA throughput in a cell.
l VS.DataOutput.Mean: a NodeB counter that specifies the mean cell throughput at the
MAC-hs/MAC-ehs layer within a measurement period.
The peak data rate per user can only be checked in drive tests.
Performance gain in a cell because of MIMO depends on the proportion of MIMO UEs, 64QAM
+MIMO UEs, and non-MIMO UEs in the cell. The higher ratio of MIMO and 64QAM+MIMO
UEs to all UEs in a cell results in greater MIMO gains.
12.6 Performance Optimization

If cell or UE throughput gain does not reach the expected value in a MIMO-capable or MIMO
+HSDPA-capable network, check the following items:
l The relevant performance counters

l The key parameter settings
l Whether exceptions occur. For example, if the channel conditions for all MIMO UEs in
the cell are bad or there is a large number of MIMO UEs but the data traffic volume is
small.
If the low gains are not caused by these items, check the related performance counters, such as
the ratio of MIMO UEs to non-MIMO UEs as well as the scheduling ratio of MIMO single
streams and MIMO dual streams.
