3 Overview
Some operators do not possess dedicated NR spectrum resources in the early stage of 5G
deployment. Other operators have dedicated NR spectrum resources, but face the issue of low
spectrum usage due to a low penetration rate of 5G terminals in the early stage. LTE FDD and
NR Flash Dynamic Spectrum Sharing allows for the sharing of uplink and downlink spectrum
resources between LTE FDD and NR. For operators that do not possess dedicated NR spectrum
resources, this feature can be used to enable LTE to share existing LTE spectrum with NR,
allowing fast 5G deployment. For operators having dedicated NR spectrum resources, this
feature enables NR to share spectrum with LTE, improving the spectrum usage. For ease of
description, LTE will hereafter be used to refer to LTE FDD.
This feature supports both NSA and SA networking. Unless otherwise specified, the descriptions
apply to both networking scenarios.
This feature is a trial feature in SA networking. The disclaimer for trial features is as follows:
 Trial features are features that are not yet ready for full commercial release for certain

4 LTE FDD and NR Flash Dynamic Spectrum Sharing
4.1 Principles
This function enables LTE and NR to dynamically share time-frequency resources on a spectrum
segment based on the traffic volumes of LTE and NR networks. The details can be found in 4.1.1
Principles of Flash Dynamic Spectrum Sharing. During spectrum sharing, uplink and downlink physical
channel resources are coordinated and scheduled to prevent interference between LTE and NR.
The details are described in 4.1.2 Key Technologies of Flash Dynamic Spectrum Sharing.
4.1.1 Principles of Flash Dynamic Spectrum Sharing
The LTE FDD and NR Flash Dynamic Spectrum Sharing function is enabled by turning on
function switches and configuring spectrum sharing cell groups. In addition, the LTE and NR
cells added to spectrum sharing cell groups must have completely aligned radio frames and
subframes.
 Turning on function switches
 Set the LTE parameter SpectrumCloud.SpectrumCloudSwitch to
LTE_NR_SPECTRUM_SHR.
 Select the LTE_NR_FDD_SPCT_SHR_SW option of the NR parameter
NRDuCellAlgoSwitch.SpectrumCloudSwitch.
 Configuring spectrum sharing cell groups
 Add planned LTE cells to an LTE spectrum sharing cell group by setting
LTE parameters SpectrumCloud.LteNrSpectrumShrCellGrpId and
LteNrSpctShrCellGrp.LteNrSpectrumShrCellGrpId.
 Configure an association between the LTE spectrum sharing cell group and
an NR spectrum sharing cell group using NR parameters
gNBDULteNrSpctShrCg.NrSpctShrCellGrpId and
gNBDULteNrSpctShrCg.LteSpctShrCellGrpId.
 Add planned NR cells to the NR spectrum sharing cell group by setting NR
parameters NRDUCellSpctCloud.NrDUCellId and
NRDUCellSpctCloud.NrSpctShrCellGrpId.
 Configuring the frame offset and TA offset (to ensure the complete alignment of radio
frames and subframes)
 Set the LTE parameter CellFrameOffset.FrameOffset or
ENodeBFrameOffset.FddFrameOffset, which specifies the frame offset
on the LTE side. If both parameters are configured, the value of the
CellFrameOffset.FrameOffset parameter prevails. Set the NR parameter
gNodeBParam.FrameOffset or gNBFreqBandConfig.FrameOffset, which
specifies the frame offset on the NR side. If both parameters are configured,
the value of the gNBFreqBandConfig.FrameOffset parameter prevails.
 Set the NR parameter NRDUCell.TaOffset, which specifies the TA offset.
After this function is enabled, LTE cells and NR cells in the associated spectrum sharing cell
groups can share spectrum resources on a spectrum segment. Figure 4-1 shows flash dynamic
spectrum sharing between LTE and NR.
 Time domain: Flash spectrum sharing is supported on a 1 ms basis. That is, spectrum
resources can be coordinated and scheduled every 1 ms.
 Frequency domain: Dynamic spectrum sharing is performed per RB. Spectrum
resources are dynamically allocated to LTE and NR based on the traffic volumes of
LTE and NR networks.
Figure 4-1 Flash dynamic spectrum sharing between LTE and NR
To ensure proper resource allocation, the percentages of resources preferentially allocated to

LTE and NR can be set based on their traffic volume requirements. The amount of resources
allocated to LTE or NR based on this percentage is equal to the sum of uplink and downlink
spectrum resources for that RAT. The amount of resources allocated to LTE or NR refer to the
corresponding PUSCH and PDSCH resources. The percentage for LTE is specified by the
LteNrSpctShrCellGrp.LteNrSpctShrLtePriResRatio parameter, and the percentage for NR is
equal to 100% minus the value of this parameter. Spectrum resources are allocated based on
these percentages as follows:
 When the ratios of actual traffic volume requirements of LTE and NR to the total
spectrum resources are both less than or both exceed the percentages of resources
preferentially allocated, the spectrum resources are allocated based on the percentages
of resources preferentially allocated to each RAT.
 When the actual traffic volume requirement of one RAT (RAT 1) exceeds the
percentage of resources preferentially allocated to that RAT and the actual traffic
volume requirement of the other RAT (RAT 2) does not, the unused resources for
RAT 2 can be occupied by RAT 1. For example, if the percentage of resources
preferentially allocated to LTE is 60% but LTE actually requires 70%, and if the
percentage of resources preferentially allocated to NR is 40% but NR actually only
requires 35%, the unused 5% resources for NR can be used by LTE. That is, LTE can
use 65% of the shared spectrum resources.
The preceding allocation principles determine the total spectrum resources for LTE and NR cells.
The spectrum resources occupied by the uplink and downlink of the LTE and NR cells can be
obtained by observing the counters listed in Table 4-1.

cells

In addition to LTE and NR flash dynamic spectrum sharing, this function supports spectrum
sharing modes specified by the LTE parameter SpectrumCloud.SpctShrMode. If this parameter
is set to LTE_NR_PWR_DYN_SHR_WITH_SPCT, LTE and NR also share spectrum power
when they share spectrum, and the percentage of power allocated to a RAT is equal to the
percentage of spectrum allocated to that RAT. If this parameter is set to
LTE_NR_PWR_INDEPENDENT, LTE and NR use separate spectrum power when they share
spectrum. The following elaborates spectrum power sharing using a 2 x 40 W RF module as an
example. If spectrum power is shared, both LTE and NR can be configured with a transmit
power within the range of 2 x 20 W to 2 x 40 W. In this case, LTE and NR minimally share the
total power of 2 x 20 W. If spectrum power is not shared, LTE and NR can individually be
configured with the transmit power of 2 x 20 W. That is, LTE and NR each use the 2 x 20 W
power. Assume that the power specifications are always the same, regardless of the power
configuration mode in use. The independent power configuration mode results a better capacity
performance but a higher power consumption. The spectrum power sharing mode reduces the
power consumption but also leads to a capacity performance loss. Therefore, when the power is
sufficient, the independent power configuration mode is preferred. When the power is
insufficient, the spectrum power sharing mode can be used.
When LTE and NR share the same CPRI optical fibers and the CPRI bandwidth is insufficient,
LTE and NR can be configured to share the same carrier and CPRI data resources through the
LTE parameter LteNrSpctShrCellGrp.LteNrCoCarrCoCpriDataSw. If the LTE and NR co-
carrier co-CPRI data switch and CPRI compression function are both enabled, the CPRI
compression ratios must be the same between LTE and NR cells. For details about the
configuration requirements, see 4.3.5 Others.
4.1.2 Key Technologies of Flash Dynamic Spectrum Sharing
Inter-RAT interference is generated during LTE and NR spectrum sharing. The interference can
be avoided by properly coordinated scheduling of uplink and downlink physical channel
resources, so as to improve the spectrum usage.
Uplink Physical Channels
The uplink physical channel resources are coordinated and scheduled as follows:
 LTE and NR sounding reference signals (SRSs): Spectrum resources are dynamically
allocated in the time domain based on the traffic volume requirements of LTE and NR
networks to improve resource usage.
 NR physical uplink control channel (PUCCH): The NR PUCCH occupies symmetrical
RBs at the two ends of the bandwidth. The number of RBs occupied by the NR
PUCCH is configured using the NR parameters NRDUCellPucch.Format1RbNum,
NRDUCellPucch.CsiDedicatedRbNum, NRDUCellPucch.Format3RbNum,
NRDUCellPucch.Format4RbNum, and NRDUCellPucch.Format4CsiDedicatedRbNum. In
NSA networking, the NR PUCCH does not include the common PUCCH. In SA
networking, the NR PUCCH always includes the common PUCCH, which occupies
two RBs. For details about the common PUCCH, see Channel Management in 5G RAN
Feature Documentation.
 LTE PUCCH: The position of the LTE PUCCH depends on the RBs fixedly reserved
by the gNodeB for the NR PUCCH. The gNodeB reserves four RBs for the NR
PUCCH in 10 MHz or 15 MHz bandwidth scenarios, and reserves six RBs for the NR
PUCCH in 20 MHz bandwidth scenarios. If the number of RBs configured for the NR
PUCCH does not exceed the number of RBs reserved for it, the LTE PUCCH is
symmetrically configured adjacent to the NR PUCCH at the two ends of the
bandwidth. If the number of RBs configured for the NR PUCCH exceeds the number
of RBs reserved for it, the start position of the LTE PUCCH at the lower end and the
end position of the LTE PUCCH at the upper end are configured through the LTE
parameters CellRbReserve.RbRsvMode, CellRbReserve.RbRsvType,
CellRbReserve.RbRsvStartIndex, and CellRbReserve.RbRsvEndIndex. The
specific position varies depending on the number of RBs configured for the NR
PUCCH. It is recommended that the LTE PUCCH be symmetrically configured
adjacent to the NR PUCCH at the two ends of the bandwidth, so that the NR PUCCH
and LTE PUCCH occupy consecutive RBs. The number of RBs occupied by the LTE
PUCCH is specified by parameter configurations or is dynamically adjusted. For
details, see the descriptions of the PUCCH in Physical Channel Resource
Management in eRAN Feature Documentation. In this function, the LTE PUCCH can
occupy a maximum of 16 RBs. If the number of RBs occupied by the LTE PUCCH
exceeds this value, SRSs may be interfered and network performance may be affected.
 LTE physical random access channel (PRACH): The LTE PRACH is configured
adjacent to the LTE PUCCH at the lower end. The LTE PRACH always occupies six
RBs.
 NR PRACH: The NR PRACH is configured adjacent to the LTE PUCCH at the upper
end. The frequency-domain start position of the NR PRACH is determined based on
the configuration of the LTE PUCCH. The NR PRACH always occupies six RBs.
 LTE and NR physical uplink shared channels (PUSCHs): The total available PUSCH
resources for LTE and NR equal the total spectrum resources minus the resources
occupied by the LTE and NR PUCCH and PRACH. The total available PUSCH
resources for LTE and NR are dynamically shared between LTE and NR based on
traffic requirements.
Downlink Physical Channels
The downlink physical channel resources are coordinated and scheduled as follows:
 The NR Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB) is transmitted in fixed
positions in Case A.
 If a single SSB beam is used for cell coverage, the NR SSB is transmitted in
the position indicated by index 3.
 If two SSB beams are used for cell coverage, the NR SSB is transmitted in
positions indicated by index 2 and index 3.
The LTE SS/PBCH and NR SSB are transmitted in different occasions. For details,
see section 4.1 "Cell Search" in 3GPP TS 38.213 V15.5.0.
 The information transmitted on the NR PDSCH except for SIB1 avoids a conflict with
the LTE cell-specific reference signal (CRS) by CRS rate matching. For details about
CRS rate matching, see section 5.1.4.2 "PDSCH resource mapping with RE level
granularity" in 3GPP TS 38.214 V15.5.0. LTE FDD and NR Flash Dynamic Spectrum
Sharing requires that NR UEs support CRS rate matching. UEs that do not support
CRS rate matching are prohibited from accessing the NR spectrum sharing cell.
 The LTE CSI-RS/CRS/DMRS/SS/PBCH and NR CSI-RS/TRS/SSB/PDCCH avoid
conflicts with each other through static coordinated scheduling.
 The LTE CRS avoids a conflict with the NR SSB and SIB1 on the PDSCH through
parameter configurations. That is, MBSFN subframes must be configured for LTE
cells in positions aligned with the NR SSB subframes and subframes occupied by
SIB1 on the NR PDSCH. This ensures that the LTE MBSFN subframes overlap with
the NR SSB subframes and subframes occupied by SIB1 on the NR PDSCH in the
time domain. As the CRS is sent only in PDCCH symbols in an LTE MBSFN
subframe, conflicts between the LTE CRS and NR SSB and SIB1 on the NR PDSCH
are avoided. MBSFN subframes are configured using the following LTE parameters:
 CellMbsfnSfEnhConfig.SubframeAllocationMode: Indicates the
MBSFN subframe allocation mode.
 CellMbsfnSfEnhConfig.RadioFrameAllocPrd: Indicates the MBSFN
subframe allocation period.
 CellMbsfnSfEnhConfig.RadioFrameAllocOfs: Indicates the MBSFN
subframe allocation offset.
 CellMbsfnSfEnhConfig.OneFrameAllocation and
CellMbsfnSfEnhConfig.FourFrameAllocation: Indicate the positions of
MBSFN subframes.
The MBSFN subframe configuration is affected by the SSB period and the SSB dual-
beam function. For details, see the configuration suggestions in 4.4.1.1 Data Preparation.
The SSB dual-beam function enables the use of two SSB beams for cell coverage, and
is elaborated in Beam Management in 5G RAN Feature Documentation.
 The LTE CRS uses static coordinated scheduling to avoid conflicts with the RRC
messages on the NR PDSCH.
 The NR PDCCH and LTE PDCCH/PCFICH/PHICH avoid conflicts with each other.
The LTE PDCCH occupies one symbol (in the case of 2T2R or 2T4R) or two symbols
(in the case of 4T4R), and the number of symbols occupied by the NR PDCCH can be
set to 1 or 2 by using NR parameters NRDUCellPdcch.SpctShrStartSymbol and
NRDUCellPdcch.OccupiedSymbolNum. For details about the configuration suggestions,
see 4.4.1.1 Data Preparation.
 The LTE and NR PDSCHs avoid conflicts with each other through dynamic
coordinated scheduling. In addition, the LTE PDSCH actively avoids conflicts with
the NR SSB/CSI-RS/TRS/DMRS/PDCCH through dynamic scheduling, and the NR
PDSCH actively avoids conflicts with the LTE CRS/CSI-
RS/SS/PBCH/PHICH/PCFICH/PDCCH through dynamic scheduling.
The preceding avoidance mechanisms are implemented by configuring the SSB
frequency-domain position, which involves the following NR parameters:
 NRDUCell.SsbDescMethod: Indicates the description method of the SSB
frequency-domain position. In NSA networking, it is recommended that this
parameter be set to SSB_DESC_TYPE_NARFCN, which indicates
absolute frequencies. This is because the step of absolute frequencies is
shorter, which improves the spectrum usage. In SA networking, this
parameter must be set to SSB_DESC_TYPE_GSCN, which indicates the
Global Synchronization Channel Number (GSCN). This is because UEs
need to determine the NR SSB frequency-domain position based on the
GSCN. After the NR SSB frequency-domain position is determined, UEs
can access the cell.
 NRDUCell.SsbFreqPos: The frequency-domain position type indicated by
this parameter is determined based on the value of the
NRDUCell.SsbDescMethod parameter. The frequency-domain position type
must be confirmed by Huawei engineers.
Before configuring the preceding two parameters, if the
NRDUCellPdcch.OccupiedSymbolNum parameter is set to 2SYM, you need to set the
NR parameter NRDUCellCoreset.CommonCtrlResRbNum to RB24 or RB48. This
ensures that the number of RBs for common control resources in the cell meets the
requirements of LTE FDD and NR Flash Dynamic Spectrum Sharing. If the
NRDUCellPdcch.OccupiedSymbolNum parameter is set to 1SYM, this parameter does
not need to be configured.
 The NR PDCCH and PDSCH can share spectrum resources in frequency division
multiplexing (FDM) mode, which is controlled by the PDCCH_RATEMATCH_SW
option of the NR parameter NRDUCellPdsch.RateMatchSwitch.
 The number of guaranteed RBs for the NR PDCCH can be configured
through the NR parameter NRDUCellPdcch.GuaranteedRbNum. The NR
PDCCH resource requirements are preferentially met. When the number of
PDCCH RBs required by an NR cell is greater than the value of this
parameter, PDCCH RBs are allocated based on the service requirement.
When the number of PDCCH RBs required by an NR cell is smaller than
the value of this parameter, PDCCH RBs are allocated based on the value of
this parameter.
 The downlink additional DMRS position can be configured for the NR
PDSCH by setting the NR parameter NRDUCellPdsch.DlAdditionalDmrsPos
to POS1, to improve user experience in high-speed mobility scenarios. In
non-high-speed mobility scenarios, this parameter needs to be set to
NOT_CONFIG.
 The NR PDSCH and SSB can share spectrum resources in time division multiplexing
(TDM) mode, which is controlled by the SSB_RATEMATCH_SW option of the NR
parameter NRDUCellPdsch.RateMatchSwitch.
4.2 Network Analysis

cells is increased. Average downlink throughput of an NR cell is equal to
N.ThpVol.DL.Cell/N.ThpTime.DL.Cell.
 In the case of NR-to-LTE spectrum sharing, the average downlink throughput of LTE
cells is increased. Average downlink throughput of an LTE cell is equal to

 The SSB period for the NR cell (specified by the NR parameter
NRDUCell.SsbPeriod) is set to MS20(20) or a larger value.
 The NR cell SIB1 period (specified by the NR parameter
NRDUCell.Sib1Period) is set to MS40(40).
 The NR cell does not use two SSB beams.
 The LTE cell works in TM4 mode.

 The NR cell is fully loaded and no online UEs exist in the LTE cell.
 The SSB period for the NR cell is set to MS20(20) or a larger value.
 The NR cell SIB1 period is set to MS40(40).
 The NR cell does not use two SSB beams.
If one of the preceding conditions is not met, the gain will be lower than those listed in the tables
above, but will not be negative.
4.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
 LTE-to-NR spectrum sharing has the following impacts on LTE networks:

 LTE is interfered by the NR synchronization signals, PBCH, reference
channels, and system information. The interference leads to inaccurate
measurement results of LTE quality-related counters that are measured over
the full band. The counters include the signal to interference plus noise ratio
(SINR), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), full-band channel quality
indicator (CQI), precoding matrix indication (PMI), and rank indication
(RI). Consequently:
 The average cell uplink and downlink initial block error rate
(IBLER) and residual block error rate (RBLER) increase.
Average cell uplink IBLER =

NR is not interfered by the LTE synchronization signals, PBCH, reference channels, and system
information. Therefore, NR quality-related counters that are measured over the full band are not
affected.
 This function involves the estimation and allocation of spectrum resources on both the
LTE and NR sides, and therefore has the following impacts on the two sides:
 Increased board user-plane CPU usage
 Average user-plane CPU usage of a board in an eNodeB:
L.Traffic.Board.UPlane.CPULoad.AVG
 Average user-plane CPU usage of a gNodeB board:
VS.NRBoard.UPlane.CPULoad.Avg
 Increased ping delay

 After this function is enabled on the LTE and NR sides, if MBSFN subframes are
configured on TM9-dedicated carriers, the number of control format indicators (CFIs)
and control channel element (CCE) usage change as the CFI range differs between
MBSFN subframes and common subframes. The CCE usage can be calculated using
the following formula: CCE usage = (L.ChMeas.CCE.CommUsed +
L.ChMeas.CCE.ULUsed + L.ChMeas.CCE.DLUsed)/L.ChMeas.CCE.Avail.

4.3.3 Hardware
Huawei devices (including the eNodeB and gNodeB) running SRAN16.1 or a later version must
be used on the radio access network.
Base Station Models
 LTE:
3900 and 5900 series base stations. 3900 series base stations must be configured with
the BBU3900 or BBU3910, and 5900 series base stations must be configured with the
BBU5900 or BBU5900A.
 NR:
3900 and 5900 series base stations. 3900 series base stations must be configured with
the BBU3910.
Boards
 LTE: For baseband processing units, only the UBBPd, UBBPe, and UBBPg support
this function. The specific board model and the number of cells supported by each
board after function activation are listed in Table 4-18. For main control boards, only the
UMPTb, UMPTe, UMPTg, and UMPTga support this function.
 NR: For baseband processing units, only the UBBPg2, UBBPg2a, and UBBPg3
support this function. The number of cells supported by each baseband processing unit
is the same as that before this function is enabled. For main control boards, only the
UMPTe, UMPTg, and UMPTga support this function.

other working modes
involving LTE FDD
a: LM refers to LTE FDD and NB-IoT.

b: The UBBPd5 is used as an example for illustrating the cell specifications. If this board also
serves cells enabled with LTE FDD and NR Uplink Spectrum Sharing, this board supports a
maximum of three cells enabled with LTE FDD and NR Flash Dynamic Spectrum Sharing and
enabled with LTE FDD and NR Uplink Spectrum Sharing. The same rule applies to other
boards. For example, a UBBPe6 supports a maximum of six cells of these two types.
To prevent LTE cell activation failures due to insufficient baseband processing resources, cells
enabled with this function must be bound to baseband processing units supporting this function.
If cells are not bound to such baseband processing units, cell activation may fail when the
baseband processing units supporting this function are fully occupied while other baseband
processing units do not support this function.
RF Modules
3900 and 5900 series base stations. All 3000 series and 5000 series RF modules that meet the
following conditions support this function:
 LTE and NR share the same RF module.
 The RF module supports 2T2R, 2T4R, or 4T4R.
Cells
LTE and NR cells must meet all of the following requirements:

 LTE and NR cells must both work on 10 MHz, 15 MHz, or 20 MHz uplink and
downlink bandwidths.
 The TX/RX modes of LTE and NR cells must be both 2T2R, 2T4R, or 4T4R. When
the TX/RX mode is 2T2R or 2T4R, the recommended number of CRS ports for LTE
cells (specified by the Cell.CrsPortNum parameter) is 2. When the TX/RX mode is
4T4R, the recommended number of CRS ports for LTE cells is 4.
 LTE and NR cells must have the same operating frequency band and center frequency.
 LTE and NR cells are configured with the same maximum transmit power.
4.3.4 Networking
This function requires an intra-BBU CPRI MUX topology, which poses no special requirements
on board installation positions. LTE and NR cells can be established on the same baseband
processing unit or on different baseband processing units. The following illustrates the
networking requirements using LTE and NR cells established on different baseband processing
units as an example.
 Intra-BBU CPRI MUX topology in separate-MPT scenarios: LTE and NR share a
BBU, and only the LTE baseband processing unit or only the NR baseband processing
unit is connected directly to the RRU through an optical fiber, as shown in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2 Intra-BBU CPRI MUX topology in separate-MPT scenarios
 Intra-BBU CPRI MUX topology in co-MPT scenarios: LTE and NR share a BBU, and
only the LTE baseband processing unit or only the NR baseband processing unit is
connected directly to the RRU through an optical fiber, as shown in Figure 4-3.
Figure 4-3 Intra-BBU CPRI MUX topology in co-MPT scenarios
4.3.5 Others
 MRFD-160222 LTE FDD and NR Flash Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (LTE FDD) and
MRFD-160262 LTE FDD and NR Flash Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (NR) must be
used simultaneously.
 It is recommended that this function be enabled on NR FDD networks using time
synchronization to reduce the NR SSB overhead and ensure the performance of LTE
FDD and NR FDD networks.
 NR UEs must support the CRS rate matching function. This function allows the
gNodeB to indicate the RE position of the LTE CRS, so that NR UEs can avoid a
conflict with the LTE CRS. UEs support the CRS rate matching function when the
rateMatchingLTE-CRS IE is included in the BandNR IE and the value of the
rateMatchingLTE-CRS IE is "supported". For details, see section 5.1.4.2 "PDSCH
resource mapping with RE level granularity" in 3GPP TS 38.214 V15.5.0.
Only the NR UEs that support CRS rate matching on the live network support LTE
FDD and NR Flash Dynamic Spectrum Sharing. NR UEs that do not support CRS rate
matching cannot access NR FDD cells enabled with LTE FDD and NR Flash Dynamic
Spectrum Sharing. They access LTE cells enabled with LTE FDD and NR Flash
Dynamic Spectrum Sharing or access NR FDD cells not enabled with this function.
 If the LTE and NR co-carrier co-CPRI data switch and CPRI compression function are
both enabled, the CPRI compression ratios must be the same between the LTE and NR
cells. The CPRI compression type of LTE cells is specified by the
Cell.CPRICompression parameter, and the CPRI compression type of NR cells is
specified by the NRDUCellTrp.CpriCompression parameter. Table 4-19 describes the
configuration requirements.

4.4 Operation and Maintenance
4.4.1 Data Configuration
If the activation of this function is to be verified through signaling message tracing, you need to
start signaling tracing on the MAE-Access before activating this function in LTE and NR cells.
Otherwise, messages regarding the activation of this function cannot be observed after this
function is activated.
4.4.1.1 Data Preparation
and Table 4-23 describe the parameters used for function activation, Table 4-24 describes
Table 4-20
the parameters used for optimization. This section does not describe parameters related to cell
establishment.
Since the configuration of some parameters can result in automatic cell restarts in function
activation and deactivation, it is recommended that you deactivate the cells prior to parameter
configuration and reactivate them after parameter configuration is complete. This will prevent
these cells from repeatedly being restarted during parameter configuration.
To prevent LTE cell activation failures due to insufficient baseband processing resources, cells
enabled with this function must be bound to baseband processing units supporting this function.
If cells are not bound to such baseband processing units, cell activation may fail when the
baseband processing units supporting this function are fully occupied while other baseband
processing units do not support this function.

4.4.2 Activation Verification
Check whether LTE FDD and NR Flash Dynamic Spectrum Sharing has taken effect using
MML commands or tracing signaling messages. The spectrum sharing mode in use can be
queried using MML commands.
Using MML Commands
LTE FDD and NR Flash Dynamic Spectrum Sharing takes effect when both of the following
conditions are met:
 The value of the Spectrum Sharing Status parameter in the output of the eNodeB
MML command DSP LTENRSPCTSHRCELLGRP is DYNAMIC_SHARING.
 The value of the Spectrum Sharing Status parameter in the output of the gNodeB
MML command DSP GNBDULTENRSPCTSHRCG is Dynamic Sharing.
The spectrum sharing mode is indicated by the Spectrum Sharing Mode parameter in the output
of the eNodeB MML command LST SPECTRUMCLOUD. The value can be
LTE_NR_PWR_DYN_SHR_WITH_SPCT or LTE_NR_PWR_INDEPENDENT.
