2. SingleRAN Solution Highlights Summary

Huawei‟s SingleRAN solution is an industry first, unique convergent solution for operators who
run more than one network, especially for GSM/UMTS multi-mode network. It is a series of
future-oriented and convergent network solutions (such as Multi-mode BSC, SingleBTS, IP
RAN, GSM/UMTS inter-working algorithm, etc.) in relation to network architecture,
transmission, facilities and O&M system. SingleRAN makes the technology choices and
network evolution simple and greatly reduce access to the site, the equipment room building,
transmission and other ancillary costs of the OPEX.
Huawei‟s SingleRAN solution embraces three essential elements (Uni-equipment, Uni-site
and Uni-operation):
Figure 1 Key Figures of SingleRAN
 Uni-equipment: “One Network” Guarantee Flexible Evolution & Investment Protection
SingleBTS: SingleBTS (also known as 2G/3G integrated SingleBTS) makes Uni-site

(Co-transmission & Co-auxiliary facilities) a reality. The modular and multi-mode design of Huawei‟s
SingleBTS, supporting 2G and 3G in one compact cabinet, presents the ultimate solution. With its
integrated SDR and MCPA technologies (software defined radio and multiple carrier power
amplifiers), the SingleBTS also supports software upgrades from GSM to UMTS on a single module
– protecting operators‟ earlier investments in existing GSM equipment and sharply reducing the time
of UMTS deployment.

Figure 2 Huawei SingleRAN BTS Expansion and Evolution
MBSC: MBSC (also known as integrated BSC/RNC) makes Uni-Operation a reality. Huawei‟s solution
provides the integration of GSM BSC and UMTS RNC into a multi-mode BSC (MBSC). MBSC is
designed with the unified PARC platform, which can support 2G and 3G in the same cabinet and provide
IP/TDM dual-switching plane. 2G and 3G can share many boards in MBSC, thus it saves a lot in spare
management.
Furthermore, SingleRAN solution is compatible with technologies evolution to guarantee long term viability.
All of its products are ready to evolve to LTE system.
Figure 3 MBSC or Integrated BSC/RNC
 Uni-site: “One Deployment” Bring TCO Saving
Co-Transmission With Huawei‟s multi-mode BSC and the SingleBTS, transmission sharing is
achievable within the system and allows future service convergence. The value of Huawei‟s dual

stack transmission mechanism for ATM and IP, and hybrid transmission and clock synchronization
over IP, translates into ultimately smooth and flexible network evolution.
Figure 4 Co-Transmission Reduces Transmission Cost
Co-Auxiliary Facilities With SingleBTS, operators deploy multi-mode networks by one time and
both GSM and UMTS networks can share the same facilities, such as cabinet, antenna system,
feeder system, power system, battery and etc.
Figure 5 Reuse Antenna System
With one time deployment, operators can now reduce not only cost (footprint saving brings less lend
cost, one time deployment brings less engineering cost), but also the time previously spent on
construction and deployment.
 Uni-operation: “One Team” Improve Network Performance and Maintenance Efficiency
Co-OAM (operation and maintenance) combines all operations on one platform to facilitate network
operation and maintenance most. By one team, human resources efficiency is largely optimized.
Around 30-40% cost can be saved in NOC and field operation, spare parts management and
network performance optimization by incorporative operation.

Figure 6 Co-OAM
Co-RNP/RNO (Radio network planning & optimization) allows constant 2G/3G network
performance monitoring for further analysis. Project sharing, joint parameter management and
common tools are used for multi-mode network planning and optimization (coverage, capability, and
neighboring cell) to realize high quality of “one network”.
Figure 7 Co-RNP/RNO
With Co-RRM (Radio Resource Management) RNC and BSC are unified as one network element
and Co-RRM function is core network- independent. Co-RRM auto-allocates radio resources
between 2G and 3G networks based on service and load. Data service throughput improves by as
much as 25%. SingleRAN solution dynamically allocates radio resources to ensure the most optimal
usage, which results in 10% handover.
Figure 8 Co-RRM

With Co-TRM (Transmission Resource Management), transmission sharing can be implemented

for both voice and data services, guaranteeing QoS and improving transmission efficiency up to
10%.
Figure 9 Co-TRM
Huawei‟s pioneering SingleRAN solution can support GSM/UMTS/LTE simultaneously, which will
help the operator to realize one network for multi-mode, and a single OMC can support the
management of multi-mode networks. All these features can facilitate our customer in great amount
to cut off their TCO drastically. Allowing operators a first-time opportunity of truly deriving those
ultimate benefits, Huawei‟s SingleRAN solution will help operators establish a “maintenance-easy”
infrastructure so that operators can focus on market. With an enhanced single service platform,
quality of service can be maintained, new applications quickly introduced, and ARPU increased, and
competitive strengths enhanced. Huawei‟s SingleRAN truly affords our expanding wireless world a
viable solution that is “One For All.”
 High Performance HSPA+ for Mobile Broadband
a) HSPA+ Phase 1 solution supports 21Mbps and 28Mbps in downlink with 64QAM and 2x2
MIMO respectively. HSPA+ Phase 1 can be evolved to HSPA+ Phase 2 smoothly.
b) Huawei RAN12 includes a new series of important functions concerning the improvement in
HSPA+ data throughput, these features include Dual Cell-HSDPA (DC-HSDPA), DL
64QAM+MIMO and UL 16QAM introduction.
c) HSPA+ Phase 2 solution supports 42Mbps in downlink with combination of 64QAM and 2x2
MIMO or DC-HSDPA. And in uplink HSPA+ Phase 2 solution supports 11.5Mbps with uplink
16QAM.
d) For HSPA+ commercial application, Huawei is the leading vendor now. By Q4 2010, Huawei
had already won more than 48 commercial HSPA+ contracts (market share 46%).
e) Huawei HSPA+ Solution help VDF provide best coverage and break every speed record in
Greece.

Figure 10 Best coverage in VDF Greece with Huawei HSPA+
Figure 11 High Speed performance in VDF Greece with Huawei HSPA+
 Field Proven industry leading IP solution
a) Huawei is the 1st vendor to provide native IPRAN solution instead of pseudo wire technology
since 2006Q4, which is 2 years ahead of other vendors‟.
b) Clock over IP is utilized in Huawei IPRAN solution to get synchronization without external GPS
or E1. Innovative IP clock solution saves GPS investment.
c) Customized IP solution based on existing transmission topology that provide the maximum
investment protection. Huawei could provide IP over ATM solution, Hybrid ATM/IP solution,
and All IP solution.
d) Hardware ready for IP transmission avoids upgrade cost dramatically (Hardware are ready
with IP-based integration to avoid massive upgrade cost).
e) Abundant experience in IP solution helps to minimize the risk of evolution to all-IP network.
Huawei is the 1st vendor to provide native IPRAN solution instead of pseudo wire technology
since 2006Q4, which is 2 years ahead of other vendors‟. Huawei IPRAN has been deployed in
commercial UMTS networks by mobile operators such as Etisalat in UAE, eMobile in Japan,
Etisalat in Egypt, and StarHub in Singapore. And it also passed the stringent tests performed
by operators such as Vodafone, Spain; France-Telecom Orange, France; TI, Italy, etc.
 Huawei unique MIMO solution: 2 years ahead industry for hardware ready
a) Huawei is the only Vendor to support MIMO DBS, achieving up to 85% gain in performance.
b) Huawei unique Co-Carrier MIMO solution helps to improve more than 20% cell throughput.
c) MIMO brings negative gain to legacy UE when MIMO and HSPA co-carrier, Huawei is the only
one vendor can minimize the impact.

 Green for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction
a) Huawei NodeB features lowest power consumption (400W@S1/1/1) in the industry with
advanced power amplifier technology (DPD+A-Doherty) and excellent engineering design.
b) Based on energy-efficiency-improvement technologies of both Node B and its site facility, it is

possible to utilize the reproducible energy such as wind or solar energy.
c) With innovative DNBS solution, operators can achieve green delivery of easier site acquisition,
easier civil work, easier delivery, etc.
 Innovative SingleRAN for TCO Saving and Smooth Migration
a) MSR based SingleRAN enables flexible evolution among GSM/UMTS/LTE on the same
frequency, especially for UMTS900&GSM900, GSM1800&LTE1800 in same RRU, thus avoid
huge reduplicate investment and ensure smooth evolution for 900MHz/1800MHz radio
frequency resource.
b) Industry leading 6-carrier technology enable once for all hardware deployment, thus minimize
the OPEX cost due to future expansion.
c) The BBU hardware is ready for HSPA+ phase 2 (Combination of downlink 64QAM and MIMO
2 x 2 or DC-HSDPA) upgrade and can be further upgraded to HSPA+ phase 3 with additional
new baseband card and LTE respectively, thus make the upgrade much easier.
d) Dual Mode RNC and BSC enable simplified network architecture, less number of BSC and
RNC. Based on Dual Mode RNC&BSC, Co-TRM with higher transmission efficiency saves
huge amount of transmission resources, Co-RRM can balance the traffic between GSM and
UMTS intelligently, and then switch off the idle carriers to save power consumption. Co-OAM
with higher human resources efficiency brings OPEX saving.

3. Network Proposal for VMS

3.1 Requirement Analysis
3.1.1 Summary of Requirement
As one of the top three major mobile communication operators in Vietnam, VMS is
facing fierce competition and long-term challenge in the matured 2G mobile market.
Undoubtedly, introduction to 3G is able to stimulate service to keep VMS in the leading
position. However, with the coexistence of multiple network technologies, it demands
VMS to construct separate networks leading to increased OPEX and CAPEX. In this
proposal, Huawei offers SingleRAN solution which can integrate the functions of the
GSM and UMTS, and provide the highest capacity with the smallest footprint in the
market. It is also able to enhance the service coverage and to meet increasing mobile
broadband demand in Vietnam. With one purchase decision, VMS can now realize the
optimal benefits of ownership from a cost and time efficient solution for multiple network
investment protection, enhanced performance, reduced OPEX and CAPEX, and
improved TCO.
Huawei has been the supplier in Vietnam telecommunications market for more than
nine years, which is one of the experienced players in the telecommunication to promise
innovative technologies and cost-effective solutions. Based on Huawei‟s understanding
of Vietnam market, studying the requirement documents and VMS‟s network
environments, Huawei is convinced to have ability to fulfill VMS requirements in such
aspects as below:
 Construct a 2G/3G SingleRAN system including 2G/3G integrated SingleBTS

equipment, BSC/RNC equipment and uniform OMC system for VMS Center I
and V.
 Maximum output static power of each GSM TRX measured at the top of cabinet
(TOC) must be at least 20W; Maximum output static power of each UMTS carrier
measured at the top of cabinet (TOC) must be at least 20W.
 The proposed 2G/3G integrated SingleBTS is configured with singleband

GSM900 S4/4/4 or dualband GSM900 S2/2/2 + GSM1800 S2/2/2 or distributed
GSM900 S4/4/4, and distributed WCDMA S2/2/2 (Band 2100M, 384CE UL/
384CE DL, HSDPA+ 21Mbps per cell, HSUPA 5.76Mbps per cell).
 Fast deploy a complete GSM/UMTS network, save time-to-market, to gain

competitive edge in Vietnam market by cooperating with vendor who have strong
local presence and hold a good track record of accomplishment in Vietnam.
 The proposed SingleRAN equipment is hardware ready for IP RAN to realize

All-IP solution in near future.
 Offered network elements for this northern region include 1160 2G/3G integrated
SingleBTSs (570 for Center I and 590 for Center V), 11 integrated BSC/RNCs (5
for Center I and 6 for Center V), 2 OMC-R (1 OMC-R for each Center I and V),

230 sets of additional materials for split and re-installation (200 sets for Center I
and 30 sets for Center V), 33 Transport Nodes for supporting transmission
between NodeB and RNC (15 for Center I and 18 for Center V), 2 sets of
Management System for Transport Nodes (1 Transport Node Management
System for each Center I and V), and related installation accessories.
 The proposed network flexibly and smoothly evolves to HSPA+ supporting

downlink of 21 Mbps, HSPA+ Phase 2 supporting downlink of 42 Mbps and LTE
system in future.
3.1.2 Subscriber Distribution

From VMS‟s 2G subscriber number requirement, the total subscriber number for
Center I is given as 2.3 Million while the total subscriber number for Center V is given
as 2.2 Million. Therefore the northern region (Center I and Center V) has total
subscriber number of 4.5 Million.
However, in order to meet VMS‟s minimum requirement of 2048 TRXs as well as the
30% capacity redundancy, the maximum total subscriber for 5 BSC in Center I is
dimensioned and supported up to 2.88 million (subs) while the maximum total
subscriber for 6 BSC in Center V is dimensioned and supported up to 3.45 million
(subs). Therefore, the total subscriber number for the northern region (total 11 BSCs
for Center I and V) is approximately 6.33 million subscribers where is much higher
than the given total subscriber for the Northern region..
For 3G, the total subscribers number given in Center I is 2 million (sub) while the total
subscribers number given in Center V is 1.8 million (sub) respectively based on the
VMS‟s requirement. From the details obtained from VMS‟s RFP requirement, there are
total 11 integrated BSC/RNC in Center I and Center V which is 5 integrated BSC/RNC
for Center I and 6 integrated BSC/RNC for Center V. By assigning the total subscriber
number evenly in each integrated BSC/RNC for Center I and Center V, the subscriber
number is equals to 400,000 (3G sub) for Center I and 300,000 (3G sub) for Center V.
Furthermore, the VMS‟s minimum requirements of 3Gbps total throughput, at least 300
NodeBs/900 Cells as well as the 35% capacity redundancy for each integrated
BSC/RNC are fulfilled.

3.2 Construction Strategy

Taking into account the challenges VMS faces in the Vietnam market, Huawei would
like to present the following compelling business propositions which are able to deliver
the best business values to VMS:
 Adopt 2G/3G integrated SingleBTS equipment (also known as SingleBTS) that is

able to support SDR (Software Defined Radio). Its RF module can migrate from
GSM to UMTS and then to LTE in 900MHz GSM frequency band, from GSM to
LTE in 1800MHz GSM frequency band, and from UMTS to LTE in 2100MHz
UMTS frequency band only by software upgrade without any radio hardware
replacement. It allows flexible configuration between 2G and 3G and can be
smoothly evolved to LTE.
 Propose Huawei MRFU with total 80W output power supports 6 TRX/MRFU in
GSM only and 4 carriers/MRFU in UMTS only and flexible configuration between
GSM and UMTS. It supports static 20W TOC power in case of S4 configuration
due to total 80W output power per MRFU for one cell for SingleBTS 2G RF. For
SingleBTS 3G RF, it supports 20W power in case of S3 configuration due to total
60W output power per RRU3804 for one cell.
 Adopt SingleBTS that is based on new technologies including MCPA design and
DPD and Doherty technology both in 2G and 3G parts to enhance PA efficiency
to 40% both in 2G and 3G part. It also supports maximum 6TRX per 2G MRFU
unit and 4 carriers per 3G 3804 unit so that can support future expansion to
12/12/12 GSM (6/6/6 GSM900 + 6/6/6 GSM1800) and 3/3/3 UMTS configuration.
Besides, the proposed SingleBTS 3G NodeB supports 384/384(DL/UL) CE both
in hardware and software license.
 All of Huawei‟s SingleBTS offered to VMS GSM/UMTS network support full

performance EDGE, HSDPA and HSUPA before CLR (Commercial Launch
Ready) to meet VMS‟s mobile broadband requirements. It supports HSPA+ with
the maximum peak rate up to DL 21 Mbps / UL 5.76 Mbps per cell and supports
HSPA+ Phase 2 (DL 42Mbps / UL 11Mbps) through upgrading.
 Propose interface of TDM/E1, ATM/E1 and IP/FE and GE solution for SingleBTS.
In addition to TDM/E1 synchronization solution, IP Clock (1588V2)
synchronization solution is proposed for SingleBTS to get clock signaling from
VMS‟s ME+ network.
 Deploy distributed DBS that could save more than 30% of Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO) including cost of site location, equipment installing, power
consumption, TMA, maintenance etc. Huawei‟s DBS3900 includes two parts,
BBU and RRU. With different integrated methods of BBU and RRU, Distributed
BTS can fit for different application scenarios.
 2G/3G Smooth Evolution – The 3G and IP based design can ensure the GSM
system evolves to the 3G system easily. For instance, Huawei BSC shares the
same hardware platform with Huawei RNC. VMS can upgrade from BSC to RNC
according to capacity requirements flexibly and smoothly. The 2G BTS can also
support 2G/3G co-cabinet (or 2G/3G dual mode). TDM/IP Co-transmission,
Co-OM, Co-RNP/RNO, Co-RRM, Future proof design to protect VMS initial
investment.
 Deploy large capacity integrated BSC/RNC (also known as MBSC) to decrease

the number of network elements, simplify network topology, allows easy
maintenance that result in reduced OPEX. Its high packet throughput can fully
meet the traffic requirements of EDGE/HSDPA/HSUPA. It can support up to 4096
TRX per BSC (PCU embedded) with standalone TC, and up to 12Gbps per RNC.
 Propose three kinds of power supply to meet the power requirement for different
equipment individually including indoor and outdoor BTS, BSC, TC and
Transporting Node. The proposed battery and power systems are based on the
maximum load design with N+1 redundancy in rectifier module and 6 hours
backup time in battery.
 Adopt large capacity for OMC-R by offering one OMC-R for each center. It can
manage 2G/3G simultaneously and support all IP connections.
 Deploy OSN7500 at hub-site transport node and OSN7500+NE40E at RNC-site

transport node. OSN7500 is offered as the SDH layer equipment, and NE40E is
offered as packet layer equipment.
Huawei hopes that the above principles are suitable and beneficial for VMS project.
Huawei looks forward to working closely with VMS to generate the final solution that
concur with the requirements specified.

Based on the requirement, TC is not embedded inside the BSC model, thus Huawei
proposes standalone TC for each BSC, with total of 5 TCs for Center I and another 6
TCs for Center V. Besides, Huawei also proposes STM-1 for Ater interface and A
interface to meet VMS‟s requirement for the transmission purpose.
3.3.1.5 IP Clock Server
In order to achieve IP clock synchronization from integrated BSC/RNC side to 2G/3G

integrated SingleBTS, two IP clock servers co-locating with the integrated BSC/RNC

transport Node and OSN7500+NE40E as the RNC-site transport nodes.
In Hub-sites, OSN7500 will connect all the PDH and Ethernet service and
convergence to STM-1, GE or 10GE services.
In RNC-sites, OSN7500 will work as the SDH layer equipment to process all the PDH
and SDH services. And NE40E will work as the packet layer equipment to process all
the Ethernet services and provide L3 and IP routing functions.

3.3.4.4 Proposed IP Clock Server Equipment
For IP clock server, Huawei proposes IPCLK1000. It uses the same service data
transmission protocols as those for data transmission between the integrated
BSC/RNC and the BTS/NodeB. While the integrated BSC/RNC and BTS/NodeB have
embedded the function of IP Clock client, therefore, the introduction of IPCLK1000 has
no additional requirements for topologies or for Qos performance of networks. Besides,
it can be installed alone, in an integrated BSC/RNC cabinet or any other cabinet that is
300 mm in depth. In this proposal, Huawei provides one IP clock server for BSC and
one IP clock server for RNC.

3.4.5 Offered 2G/3G Integrated SingleBTS RF Connection with Feeder and

Antenna
The following diagram shows the RF part of interconnection between Macro/ Distributed
2G/3G integrated SingleBTS, antenna and feeder system.
Considering Huawei‟s RFU/RRU can support 6 TRXs or 4 Carriers with just one unit of
hardware, so the RF connection is very convenient, just one RF unit for one sector is enough,
whatever regardless it is the Outdoor Macro BTS (BTS3900A), Indoor Macro BTS (BTS3900),
Distributed BTS (DBS3900) or the Distributed NodeB (DBS3900).

4.1.1 BSC Model Dimensioning
There are 5 BSC offered for 570 sites in Center I and 6 BSC offered for 590 sites in
Center V. According to VMS‟s requirement, Huawei RNP plans the site/TRX distribution
as below:

BSC 5 129 1534 2048 2048
BSC 6 129 1534 2048 2048
Refer to the Table 51 and Table 52 as above:

In Center I, with 30% redundancy, the TRX number calculated for each BSC model
= 1368 * (100% + 30%) = 1779 TRX.
In Center V, with 30% redundancy, the TRX number calculated for each BSC
model = 1180 * (100% + 30%) = 1534 TRX.
As stated in the tender document, the minimum configuration for each BSC is to
support 2048 TRXs.
Since the TRX number for each BSC in Center I and Center V is still less than the
minimum TRX requirement from VMS after considering the 30% redundancy, therefore,
the TRX number is dimensioned and designed as 2048 TRXs for each BSC in Center I
and Center V.
4.1.1.1 Center I
The following shows the formulae for the BSC model throughput in Center I.
A-CIC Channel = ErlangB_Device (A-Erlang, A GOS)
A-Erlang = ErlangB (average TCH-PDCH)*(1+HR ratio), Abis GOS)*3*BTS

number*A:Um ratio*Index ratio.
PDCH Channel= (Static PDCH / Cell +Dynamic PDCH / Cell *Dynamic PDCH Active
ratio) * BTS Cell number
Gb throughput = subs*throughput per user/1024/1024/Gb utilization ratio
Based on the mentioned formula above, the calculation result shown in the table below;
Table 53 Center I: GSM Throughput Results Dimensioned with the Optimized Traffic Model

A Erl Requirement 11,975
HR Active Ratio Requirement 0.3

BHCA Requirement (CS) 2,130,952

SS7 Link Requirement (High Speed Link) 3
PDCH Requirement 684
Gb Throughput Requirememnt (Mbps) 7.832
The detailed calculation (2048 TRXs/BSC) is shown as below;
A-Erlang = ErlangB((average TCH-PDCH)*(1+HR ratio), Abis GOS)*3*BTS

Taking HR ratio: 30%; Um GOS / Abis GOS: 1% / 3%, A:Um ratio: 80%, BTS Qty: 114
Average TRX per cell: 2048/3/114 = 5.9883 = 6

erlangb_traffic(52,

So, A-Erlang = 43.85 * 3 * 114 * 80% * (5.9883/6) = 11,975 Erl
A CIC Channel = ErlangB_Device (A Erlang, A GOS)

= ErlangB_ Device(11,975, 1%)
= 11,927
= (1 + 2*0.5) * 114 * 3 = 684
The active percentage of the GPRS is assumed to be 10%
GPRS Subs = Total Erl / Average voice traffic per subscriber (Erlang) * 10%
= 11975/ 0.025*10%
= 47,900 subs
Gb throughput = 47900 *120bps/1024/1024/ 0.7

= 7.832Mbps
Maximum Subscribers supported (each BSC)

The specific dimensioning result of physical interface port numbers of each interface
is shown as below (all the interface ports comply with active and standby redundancy
configuration).

According to the dimensioning result, the BSC offered in Chapter 3.3.4.1 have fully
met with VMS dimensioning requirements.
4.1.1.2 Center V
The following shows the formulae for the BSC model throughput in Center V.
A-CIC Channel = ErlangB_Device (A-Erlang, A GOS)
A-Erlang = ErlangB (average TCH-PDCH)*(1+HR ratio), Abis GOS)*3*BTS

Based on the mentioned formula above, the calculation result shown in the table below:

The detailed calculation (2048 TRXs/BSC) is shown as below;
A-Erlang = ErlangB((average TCH-PDCH)*(1+HR ratio), Abis GOS)*3*BTS

Taking HR ratio: 30%; Um GOS / Abis GOS: 1% / 3%, A:Um ratio: 80%, BTS Qty: 99

So, A-Erlang = 52.54 * 3 * 99 * 80% * (6.8956/7) = 12,297.32145 Erl = 12,297 Erl
A CIC Channel = ErlangB_Device (A Erlang, A GOS)

= ErlangB_ Device(12,297, 1%)
= 12,246
= (1 + 2*0.5) * 99 * 3 = 594
The active percentage of the GPRS is assumed to be 10%
GPRS Subs = Total Erl / Average voice traffic per subscriber (Erlang) * 10%

Refer to the Table 59 and Table 60:

In Center I, with 35% redundancy,
Total site number for each RNC = 114 * (100%+35%) = 154 sites
Total cell number for each RNC = 684 * (100%+35%) = 924 cells
In Center V, with 35% redundancy,
Total site number for each RNC = 99 * (100%+35%) = 134 sites
Total cell number for each RNC = 590 * (100%+35%) = 797 cells
As stated in the tender document, the minimum configuration for each RNC is to support
300 sites/900 cells, therefore, each RNC in Center I is dimensioned and designed with
300 sites/924 cells while each RNC in Center V is dimensioned and designed with 300
sites/900 cells. On the other hand, the minimum requirement for the RNC throughput is
at least support up to 3Gbps capacity throughput, however, this throughput requirement
cannot be met if the traffic parameter of PS throughput per sub is 152 bps.
So, in order to meet the minimum requirement as mentioned as above, the traffic model
for Center I and Center V are designed and dimensioned accordingly in adjusting the PS
throughput per PS subscriber in Busy Hour (bps) to 2000 bps with the given total
subscribers number per integrated BSC/RNC based on Huawei‟s RNP calculation.
4.1.2.1 Center I
By optimizing the PS throughput per PS subscriber in Busy Hour to 2000 bps, the total
throughput is resulted to 1178.4 Mbps for each integrated BSC/RNC in Center I. The
following table shows that the total throughput resulted with the optimized traffic model in
Center I.

4.3 OMC & PRS Network Dimensioning

For this proposal, one OMC-R server type is configured as shown in the following table.
Table 81 Offered OMC-R System Server Type
Server Hardware Maximum Management Capacity

Sun M5000 Single Server
 SUN M5000 (4CPU) maximum supports 190 essential NE.
 50 Cells equals 1 essential NE for WCDMA and 125 TRXs equals to 1 essential
NE for GSM.
Since the offered OMC-R server hardware can support up to 190 equivalent NEs, the
maximum number of cells can be derived as the following:
 Maximum number of cells for RNC+Node B
= 190 equivalent NEs x 50 cells/1 equivalent NE
= 9,500 cells
 Maximum number of TRXs for BSC+BTS
= 190 equivalent NEs x 125 TRXs/1 equivalent NE
= 23,750 TRX
For northern region (Center I and V), the actual site number and cell number with 35%
redundancy are shown as below:
Table 82 Center I and V Total Node B and Cell Number with 35% Redundancy

Node B No. RAN Cell No.
Center I 570 3420 770 4617

Center V 590 3540 797 4779
For northern region (Center I and V), the actual site number and TRX number with 30%
redundancy as shown as below:

Location BTS No. TRX No.
BTS No. TRX No.
Center I 570 6840 741 8892

Center V 590 7080 767 9204

Also considering the minimum requirement of the OMC capacity from VMS (the
hardware of each OMC system must be dimensioned for supporting up to 10000
TRXs/5000 cells), the cell number for Center I is increased from 4,617 to 5,000 and the
cell number for Center V is increased from 4,779 to 5,000. For the TRX dimensioning
part, the TRX number for Center I is increased from 8,892 to 10,000 TRXs and the TRX
number for Center V is increased from 9,204 to 10,000 TRXs. The final dimensioning
result of OMC-R capacity requirement for Center I and V are listed as below:

Northern hardware capacity for BTS No. hardware capacity for TRX No.
Center I 741 10000
Center V 767 10000
On top of above dimensioning principle, the total cells numbers and total TRXs numbers
of each OMC-R is 5000 Cells/10000 TRXs for Center I and 5000 Cells/10000 TRXs for
Center V, thus the total essential NEs of each OMC-R can be calculated in the following
formula: (Total Cells number / 50 Cells + Total TRXs number /125 TRX), where the total
essential NEs is 180 for both Center I and Center V, which is smaller than 190, so the
type of M5000 with 4CPU can support the particular capacity requirements, because it
is hardware ready to support 9500 cells/23750 TRXs and 190 essential NEs.

For the PRS server dimensioning, the iManager server module proposed is HP DL785
where can cover on the large sized networks, where the supported equivalent NE is less
or equal to 800 NEs.
In Center I & V, the OMC-R system is configured on 5000 TRXs/10000 Cells,
Total essential NEs in PRS = 5000/62.5 + 10000/125 = 160 NE
Since the offered PRS server hardware can support up to 800 equivalent NEs, the
maximum number of cells can be derived as the following:
 Maximum number of cells
= 800 equivalent NEs x 62.5 cells/1 equivalent NE
= 50,000 cells
 Maximum number of TRXs
= 800 equivalent NEs x 125 TRXs/1 equivalent NE
= 100,000 TRX

5. Highlight of Huawei SingleRAN Solutions

5.1 SingleRAN Product Overview
5.1.1 Multi-mode BSC
Figure 27 Multi-mode BSC
 Inherit unified platform
Huawei‟ multi-mode BSC6900 is based on self-developed PARC (Platform of Advanced

Radio Controller) platform with IP/TDM dual-switching plane and high reliability. Because of
Huawei‟s durative R&D strategy, legacy BSC (BSC6000 for GSM&BSC6810 for UMTS) can
be upgraded to BSC6900.
 First-in-class capacity and density
BSC6900 has a First-in-class capacity (5100Cells and 12Gbps throughput for UMTS
only/4096TRXs for GSM only) in industry. BSC6900 has only 7 board types (excluded
interface board), it saves a lot in spare management. This large capacity and multi-mode
BSC not only provide a more flexible solution, but also meet the needs for the wireless
broadband, which greatly protect our customer‟s investment and being ready for the future
technologies.
 TCO saving
The combined multi-mode BSC causes simple network architecture, less number of BSC is
needed. Co-TRM with higher transmission efficiency saves huge amount of transmission
resources, Co-RRM can balance the traffic between GSM and UMTS intelligently, and then
switch off the idle carriers to save power consumption. Co-OAM with higher human
resources efficiency brings OPEX saving.
 Multimode brings flexible configuration and uni-operation
To meet different networking requirements, BSC6900 can support GSM only or UMTS only
or GSM/UMTS in same cabinet; share the same sub-rack and the same boards. The
capacity of each mode can be transferred dynamically according to the trend of
traffic.BSC6900 is a milestone of Multi-mode BSC, it supports Co-TRM, Co-RRM, Co-OAM,

Co-RNP, all these features benefits operators with not only TCO saving but also better
network performance.
 Improve network performance through optimized Co-RRM algorithm
The Co-Radio Resource Management (Co-RRM) algorithm performs unified management

and intelligent scheduling on the radio resources in the GSM network and UMTS network.
As the traditional Co-RRM algorithm exchanges the 2G/3G load information between the
GSM network and the UMTS network through signaling procedures across the core
networks (CNs). The BSC6900 optimized Co-RRM algorithm enables rapid transmission of
2G/3G load information (used as internal messages) with an internal procedure. The
advantages are as follows:
 Having no dependency on the equipment in the core network

 Reducing latency, adjusting the load in real time, and increasing the success rate of
inter-RAT handovers
 Decreasing the signaling flow on the standard interface and saving interface resources
The optimized Co-RRM algorithm maximizes the sharing of radio resources between the
GSM network and the UMTS network, thus increasing the network capacity.
5.1.2 SingleBTS Introduction

 Convergence
Figure 28 Module design BTS

Huawei SingleBTS 3900 series are based on self-developed platform HERT and adopt modular
design. The 3900 series BTS include 3 parts, RRU (Remote Radio Unit)/RFU (Radio Frequency
Unit)/BBU (Base Band Unit), which can be combined in different ways in order to adapt various
scenarios. Modular design also simplifies the transportation, installation, maintenance of the BTS
and the most significant is that the SingleBTS can support GSM/UMTS/LTE simultaneously.

Figure 29 The SingleBTS Portfolio

To come across various capacity and coverage requirements of operator, Huawei delivers a
comprehensive BTS family that includes the Macro BTS, Distributed BTS, Micro BTS, etc to
achieve seamless coverage. It is convergent platform between different BTS portfolio as well as
convergent platform between GSM, UMTS and LTE.
 Evolution
Figure 30 Huawei convergent BTS expansion and evolution

Cabinet based macro indoor BTS (BTS3900) and outdoor BTS (BTS3900A) is suitable for
centralized installation as well as G/U multi-mode and multi-band scenarios. It can support
72TRXs for GSM or 24 cells for UMTS in all.
The 3900 series multi-mode base stations provide multiple evolution solutions and support the
evolution from GSM to UMTS and further to LTE. BBU can be reused when evolve to UMTS or
LTE, only need to insert relative two sub-boards into BBU: WMPT or LMPT for control and
transmission, WBBP or LBBP for baseband processing.
 Application of the SDR technology

With the SDR technology, RF modules can support any type of dual-mode among GSM, UMTS,
and LTE in the same frequency through software update, so to meet operator‟s requirements that
need fast and one-time deployment.
 Co-cabinet solution
RF modules serving different modes (includes SDR module) can be installed in the same cabinet
so that the single-mode or any type of dual-mode among GSM, UMTS, and LTE is applicable to
the base station. RF modules operating in different frequency bands can also be housed in the
same cabinet. In this way, the multi-mode and multi-band application is available.
 Green
Stackable design makes it possible for hand carry installation and flexible expansion. The macro
outdoor BTS (BTS3900A) can work stably in the range of -40 to +50 degree Celsius. Air
direct-ventilation design makes it more reliable without air condition or heat-exchanger for
temperature adjustment. It has the same baseband and radio performance with indoor macro
BTS.
Distributed BTS (DBS3900) separates traditional cabinet BTS into two parts, baseband unit (BBU)
and remote radio unit (RRU). RRU can be mounted near the antenna to save feeder loss of 3 dB
and TMA (Tower Mounted Amplifier). They mark small size, large capacity and high integration.
Therefore, we can provide a zero footprint solution thus fulfilling the desire of easier, faster site
acquisition, installation and network deployment.
Huawei SingleBTS can support multiplicate methods on power control, there are two main kinds:
1. dynamically shut down idle resources, like cell, TRX and PSU boards, 2. allocate accurate
power according to actual traffic requirement, like BCCH power optimization and power
optimization based on channel type. Based on these advanced and innovative power control
technologies, Huawei SingleBTS can bring extra 10-25% power consumption saving.
High effective digital power amplifier (DPA) saves the electrical power cost. With DPD+ A-Doherty
technology, the PA efficiency is up to 40%. DBS3900 S111 typical power consumption is only
400W compared to the traditional common Node B of 1500W.
Figure 31 Power consumption cooperation

5.2 Multi-mode Solutions

With the development of UMTS, more and more traditional GSM operators migrated to the
UMTS network in order to provide high speed data service and carry superior service
experience. Based on UMTS network, operators are able to launch more abundant and
differentiated services to end users, and attract more subscribers. Meanwhile, UMTS
network helps operators improve the ARPU and MOU, and keep leading in the market.
With the evolution of GSM network to EDGE all over the world, GSM/EDGE and UMTS will
co-exist for a long time, the inter-working and traffic balance between GSM/EDGE and
UMTS is still significant
For mobile operators, balancing the investment between GSM and UMTS and acquire most
profit in GSM/UMTS deployment is becoming more important.
Based on all theses requirements of our customer, Huawei would provide different
multi-mode solutions to meet different needs in typical scenarios.
Figure 32 High Expansibility BBU3900
Thanks to Huawei‟s unified HERT platform, baseband module, BBU3900 can be applied in
GSM or UMTS mode by plugging in different daughter card. Meanwhile, baseband and
transmission can be expanded separately. It also can be smoothly evolved to LTE by adding
LTE baseband daughter card. Different combination of RF module and BBU3900 realize two
multi-mode solutions: Co-cabinet solution and SDR solution.
5.2.1 Co-cabinet solution for multi-mode

In order to meet the requirement of operators‟ GSM/UMTS deployment, Huawei presents
multi-mode BTS solution, which is applicable for GSM/UMTS multi-mode deployment and
capable of smooth evolution from EDGE to HSPA to HSPA+ to LTE.
Huawei‟s multi-mode BTS solution supports cabinet-based multi-mode and distributed

multi-mode.
Cabinet-based multi-mode BTS: BTS3900 and BTS3900A.

The cabinet-based multi-mode application has minimized footprint by sharing common G/U
platform and using different G/U RF module. The stackable cabinet is easy to hand carry to site,
and it makes expansion more flexible. Cabinet-based multi-mode BTS is capable of evolution to
LTE.
 Indoor BTS3900
Figure 33 Compact GSM/UMTS Multi-mode indoor BTS
BBU (Base Band Unit) can be shared by GSM and UMTS and inserted into the 2U space
reserved in the BTS cabinet. GSM, UMTS and LTE radio units are inter-changeable. The
stackable cabinet, easy for transportation and installation, only need 1 cabinet footprint, 100%
reuse site facilities: minimum investment on power, battery, feeder and antenna.
 Outdoor BTS3900A
Figure 34 Compact GSM/UMTS Multi-mode Outdoor BTS
Both the indoor and outdoor BTS support stackable configuration, which simplifies the
transportation, installation and expansion. Based on the all-in-one design architecture, the power
consumption is reduced considerably, which enables saving the investment on the site
infrastructure and OPEX.
Distributed multi-mode BTS: DBS3900 (BBU3900 + RRU3008+RRU3804)

Figure 35 Distributed multi-mode BTS
Distributed multi-mode BTS is application of module-based multi-mode. In this application, RF

module and baseband module can support GSM and UMTS respectively. The BBU and RRU are
connected with optical fiber, so there is no feeder loss, and RRU can be mounted near the
antenna to realize wider coverage.
RF module, RRU3008 can support 6 TRX in 1 module. RRU 3804 can support 4 cells in 1 module
and have the ability to evolve to LTE. Baseband module, BBU3900 can be applied in
GSM/UMTS/LTE mode by plugging in different daughter card. Meanwhile, baseband and
transmission can expand separately.
5.2.2 Multi-mode Solution based on Software Defined Radio (SDR)

SDR is the abbreviation of “software defined radio”. It means taking the hardware as an unified
platform, and re-program and reconstruct the equipment by software (Much of the waveforms,
e.g., frequency, modulation/demodulation, coding, etc) to support multi-mode. The signal path
can be reconfigured in software without requiring any hardware modifications. In conclusion, SDR
is a new wireless framework based on DSP/FPGA and software. To be emphasized, the research
of SDR technology is just in initial phase, SDR mentioned in this proposal is just for dual-mode in
the same frequency.
SDR is considered as a trend for 3G and the evolution afterwards 3G by ITU. And it‟s gradually
recognized by the industry for its smoothly evolution. Huawei keeps leading in SDR R&D, and has
integrated series of SDR products including RRU3908 and MRFU covering 850 MHz/900
st
MHz/1800 MHz/1900 MHz. After Huawei deploy the 1 SDR commercial network in Panama
st
AM(GSM/UMTS@1900MHz) in 2008 and 1 SDR commercial network comply with ETSI in
Finland Teliasonera in 2009, over 10 operators have chosen Huawei SDR BTS to construct G/U
multi-mode network. All these prove that Huawei SDR technology is mature and available for
great scale deployment.
SDR can be widely used for dual-mode network construction, e.g.: GSM&UMTS modernization,
GSM900MHz refarming, GSM850M/1900MHz refarming, new network for future evolution. It can
bring long-term TCO saving and has great advantage in smooth evolution,
 Scheme of SDR Digital Transceiver

SDR digital transceiver includes wideband antenna, RF front-end, wideband ADC&DAC, DSP,
and etc:

Figure 36 Scheme of SDR digital transceiver
 RF Section
RF Section transmits/receives RF signal from the antenna. To settle for the requirement of SDR,
the work frequency band of TX&RX&Antenna must be wide and MCPA has high linearity.
 IF Section
High-speed and wideband ADC&DAC is the key part of SDR, it performs analog-to-digital
conversion (on receive path) and digital-to-analog conversion (on transmit path), respectively.
 Baseband Section
Baseband section performs baseband operations and also implements the link layer protocol.
Some fixed function parts, like filter and DUC&DDC, are made of FPGA, which can be re-program,
and has more flexibility and higher speed than DSP, smoother parts need complex calculation,
are made of DSP.
 SDR Solution
In order to meet the requirement of operators‟ G/U deployment, Huawei presents multi-mode BTS
solution, which is applicable for multi-mode deployment and is able to evolve from EDGE to
HSPA to HSPA+ to LTE.
SDR technology is an important part of Huawei‟s multi-mode BTS solution and including
cabinet-based and distributed multi-mode BTS.
Figure 37 Huawei SDR Modules

Cabinet-based multi-mode BTS: BTS3900 and BTS3900A (BBU3900+MRFU)
The cabinet-based multi-mode application has reduced footprint by sharing common G/U
platform and using SDR RF module. Cabinet-based multi-mode BTS is capable of evolution to
LTE.
 MRFU
MRFU cover full spectrum: 900MHz or 1800MHz or 1900MHz. One MRFU maximum supports 6
GSM or 4 UMTS carriers, 4TRXs+2carriers or 5TRXs+1carrier for G/U dual mode. 80W output
power and 15MHz PA frequency bandwidth can meet the requirement of macro BTS and support
power sharing.

reserved in the BTS cabinet. MRFU can support dual-mode simultaneously, like G/U, G/L, U/L,
and provide 80w power output. The stackable cabinet, easy for transportation and installation,
only need 1 cabinet footprint, 100% reuse site facilities: less consumption of power, battery,
feeder and antenna. The capacity of GSM&UMTS can be adjusted dynamically by software
control.
 Outdoor BTS3900A
Figure 40 Compact GSM/UMTS Multi-mode Out BTS
BBU can be shared by GSM and UMTS and inserted into the 2U space reserved in the outdoor
power supply cabinet. MRFU can support dual-mode simultaneously, like G/U, G/L, U/L, and
provide 80W power output. Both the indoor and outdoor BTS support stackable configuration,
which simplifies the transportation, installation and expansion. Thanks to the all-in-one design
architecture, this enables saving the investment on the site infrastructure and OPEX.
Distributed multi-mode BTS: DBS3900 (BBU3900 + RRU3908)
Figure 41 Multi-mode BBU
Distributed multi-mode BTS is application of module-based multi-mode. In this application, RF

module and baseband module can support GSM and UMTS respectively. The BBU and RRU are
connected with optical fiber, so there is no feeder loss, and RRU can be fixed near the antenna to
realize wide coverage.

Figure 42 RRU3908
Distributed multi-mode DBS3900 will support G/U/LTE convergence by SDR as following:
 RRU3908 cover full spectrum: 850MHz or 900MHZ or 1800MHz or 1900MHz.

 One RRU3908 maximum support 6 GSM or 4 UMTS carriers, 4TRXs+2carriers or

investment
 RRU 60W output power can be shared between multi-carriers in the same mode to get
flexible configuration.
 Smooth evolution to HSPA+ (64QAM, 2*2 MIMO by software update),hardware is ready for
LTE.
5.3 Highlight s of Huawei’s SingleRAN Solution

5.3.1 Highlight of Huawei‟s GSM Solution
5.3.1.1 TCO Saving Solution
 Transmission Saving Solution
 Abis Transmission Saving
1. Abis IP over E1/FE/GE
Huawei provide Abis IP over E1/FE/GE to reduce transmission cost. Abis IP over FE/GE adapts
to all IP development trend of future transport layer and protocol development. The Abis interface
incorporates the features such as high bandwidth and low cost deployment, and it does not have
any restrictions on the BSC capacity. The low IP network deployment cost, short construction
period, and easy maintenance effectively reduce the CAPEX and OPEX of operators. Operator
which owns transport network resources, Huawei proposes IP over E1 and TDM over E1. Thus,
telecom operators can use the existing TDM network to protect the investment and reduce the
transmission cost.
2. Abis MUX
Figure 43 Abis MUX
Abis MUX is used to save the bandwidth and multiplex the packets. The BSC and the BTS serve
as transmitting end and receiving end of each other. When Abis MUX is applied, the transmitting
end multiplexes the UDP packets that meet the multiplexing condition. Multiple UDP packets are
multiplexed into one IP/UDP header at the transmitting end and then demultiplexed at the
receiving end to reconstruct the original data in the IP/UDP packets. Thus, the transmission
efficiency is improved and the bandwidth is saved.
By multiplexing and demultiplexing the IP/UDP packet, Abis MUX reduces the overhead of each
IP packet, increases the efficiency of the IP transmission, and saves the bandwidth.
3. BTS Local Switching Solution
With BTS Local Switching solution, if the calling MS and called MS are within the coverage of the
same BTS or BTS group, the BSC performs the loopback on the cabinet group of the convergent
BTS, only the signaling is sent to BSC when the calling and called parties are under the same site.
This feature helps save the local or long-distance transmission resources on the Abis and Ater
interfaces.
Figure 44 BTS Local Switch Solution
4. Abis Congestion Triggered HR Allocation
In heavy traffic hours, if the Abis transmission resources are not sufficient, the Abis
transmission may be congested earlier than the air interface. The TCHF-to-TCHH conversion
based on the air interface load and the mechanism of preferentially allocating TCHH cannot
guarantee the system capacity. Based on the congestion status on the Abis interface, the Abis
congestion triggered HR allocation function performs dynamic TCHF-TCHH conversion,
preferentially allocates TCHH, and carries out queuing and pre-emption to ease the Abis
interface congestion and to increase the system capacity. So this function can helps save the
Abis transmission resources and reduce the network construction cost.
 Power Consumption Saving
With leader solution, Huawei has introduced a new design chipset which can decrease the
Power consumption as compare to traditional chipset design. Being introduce new chipset the
static power consumption reaches up to less than 50%.
Figure 45 New IC Technology
 Intelligent Power Management system
Figure 46 Power Optimization Based on Channel Type
Huawei intelligent power management system allows BTS to select best PA-bias dynamically for
GMSK and 8PSK codec which increases the PA efficiency by 10%.

Figure 47 TRX Power Amplifier Intelligent Shutdown
Using intelligent shutdown of TRX by time function, operator can specify a period of low traffic
time. In this period, the BSC commands the BTS to shut down some TRXs in a cell. When the
period ends, the BSC commands the BTS to switch on the TRXs. Likewise, intelligent shutdown
of the idle TRX in time slot level and priority assignment of time slots in BCCH TRX decrease
power load in PA. Hence, typical power consumption of BTS3900 (TOC=20W, load factor=30%)
for S2/2/2 configuration is only 500W which is the leading value in the industry level.
By this way, the power management and self-protection of the system is enhanced. Thus raises
the reliability of the system and prolongs the life cycle of the product.
 In a 900 MHz/1800 MHz dual-band network, Dynamic Cell Power Off feature is
generally used to save more power consumption.
In a specified period, if the traffic is low and a 900 MHz cell can carry all the traffic in the coverage
area of an 1800 MHz cell, then the 1800 MHz cell can be powered off to reduce the power
consumption of the BTS.
By powering off the idle network devices in low traffic hours, the consumption of resources can be
reduced. This also reduces the operational expenditure of the operators.
Figure 48 Dynamic Cell Power Off

 Active Backup Power Control
Figure 49 Active Backup Power Control
Once the external power of the BTS is disrupted, the BTS uses the backup battery to supply the
power. Huawei provide this function to gradually shut down the TRXs and decreases the transmit
power of the TRX to prolong the service time of the BTS.
This function decreases the power consumption of the BTS, prolongs the service time of the BTS,
and decreases the out-of-service cell rate when the external power supply of the BTS is disrupted.
And it also can increases the discharge time of the battery, saves the working time of the
generator, and thus saves the cost of the power supply.
 PSU Smart Control
The PSU (Power Supply Unit Module) intelligent shutdown function shuts down the redundant
PSUs based on the BTS load on the condition that the required power consumption of the BTS is
met.
This function improves the efficiency of the power conversion, prolongs the working time and
lifetime of the PSU, reduces the power consumption, and saves the operating cost.
 Enhanced BCCH Power Consumption Optimization
In traditional BTS, the transmit power of the main-BCCH carrier is fixed. Huawei Enhanced BCCH
Power Consumption Optimization function can reduce the transmit power of the non-main BCCH
timeslots on the main BCCH carrier to decrease the power consumption of the BTS.
5.3.1.2 Enhanced Capacity Solution
 Soft Synchronized Network

Figure 50 Network Synchronization
The Soft Synchronized Network is one of Huawei unique features. The software synchronized site
can synchronize the BTS TDMA frame without GPS engineering. This feature is especially useful
in two scenarios: high density traffic load area or limited frequency resource.
Huawei could support Um interface software synchronization intra BSC and inter BSC without
adding any additional hardware. As Figure 48 shows, before network synchronization, a center
BTS should be identified. Here BS1 becomes the Center BTS. In the first round, BTSs surrounding
BS1 will be synchronized orderly, such as1-2, 1-3, 1-4…1-7. In the second round, the already
synchronized BTS become the Center BTS, synchronization among BTSs will carried out
according to specific sequence, like 2-8, 2-9, 3-10, 3-11, 4-12…7-19. Synchronization will repeat
till all BTS are synchronized. For intra-BSC soft synchronization, the soft synch error is less than
1.5 bit, a pair of synch tuning time is less than 5sec, and a pair of synch info-collecting time is less
than 5min.
Synchronized network means that all the GSM BTSs are in same pace. It can improve the radio
link quality by enhancing the ICC performance to 5~10dB, while co-existing with other
technologies, tighter frequency reuse rate can be realized and network capacity can be increased.
 IBCA
IBCA (Interference-Based Channel Allocation) is a dynamic frequency and channel allocation

algorithm based on the prediction of the achievable CIR (Channel Interference Relation) of each
candidate channel and established channel.
Figure 51 IBCA

IBCA could be utilized under the condition where the spectrum resource is rare and dense
frequency reuse brings severe inter-cell interference which in stead of channel limits the network
capacity. IBCA bases on software synchronized network, no GPS needed, easy implementation. It
lessens the over interference level in the network and provides more effective frequency reuse
with ensured quality, thus the network capacity could be increased remarkably.
 Tight BCCH Frequency Reuse
In order to improve spectrum efficiency, Huawei introduces the tight BCCH frequency reuse. The
multiplexing mode of the BCCH frequency is changed from 4 x 3 to 3 x 3, thus three frequencies
are added to the frequency hopping. After 1 x 1 frequency multiplexing is used, each cell can be
added with one TRX and the system capacity can be improved by around 25%. For operators, just
through enabling the function, the following benefits could be obtained.
 Decreasing number of frequencies occupied by BCCH and improving spectrum frequency
 Increasing available frequencies for TCH and frequencies for frequency hopping
 Increasing frequencies for frequency hopping
 Expanding the system capacity without adding new hardware
 Saving the costs for adding sites and cells. The TCH channel on the BCCH frequency is
used by the MSs near the BTS. The subscribers can obtain improved speech quality when this
function is enabled.
 The random access failures decrease and the access performance increases.
5.3.1.3 Enhanced Coverage Solution
 Leading RF Performance
 High TOC Output Power
Huawei GSM BTS series also adopt Multi-carrier Radio Frequency Unit (GRFU). Each GRFU
can serve as six TRXs. The max TOC power is 49.0dBm at GMSK mode or 47.2dBm at 8PSK
mode respectively without any degradation of capacity or additional antenna systems.
 High Receiving Sensitivity
With the 3G RF design technology introduced, Huawei BTS has been improved in processing RF
and baseband signals, particularly the performance of the baseband demodulation algorithm. So
the static receive sensitivity of a single-channel reaches -113dBm, the uplink coverage of the
GSM network can be improved up to 20% compared to the industry level with the receive
sensitivity as -110dBm. Besides, 2-way receive sensitivity is -116dBm. Operators could further
enlarge the uplink coverage just through software configuration.

 Satellite Transmission
The satellite transmission mode is a supplementary for the common transmission. Huawei BSS
support satellite transmission over all interfaces on BSS part:
 satellite transmission over Abis interface
 satellite transmission over A interface
 satellite transmission over Ater interface
 satellite transmission over Pb interface
 EDGE service over satellite transmission
 Extended Coverage
CS: Extended Cell
In GSM specifications, limited by timing advance (TA) 63 bit, the standard maximum GSM cell
radius is 35 km. In regions such as vast land, seashore, where with scattered subscribers in low
traffic, and the infrastructure facilities such as transmission and power supply are hard to be
constructed or unavailable. The radius of cell shall be over 35 km.
Huawei extended cell technology breaks the limit of the 35 km and realizes the wide coverage.
Supported by BTS hardware, it can cover a range with radius of up to 120 km. It has been
implemented successfully in Qindao seashore coverage project since 2004; the maximum
coverage distance reached 120 Km.
PS：Enhanced downlink throughput in dual-timeslot extension cell
Figure 52 Enhanced downlink throughput in dual-timeslot extension cell
For the PS service, Huawei proposes dual-timeslot extension cell in order to enhance downlink
throughput. The cells with coverage over 35 kilometers, such as coast coverage, island coverage,
or wide coverage on land, support the PDCH allocation of four downlink timeslots and one uplink
timeslot can be performed for the MS with the multi-timeslot capability. The extension cell can
provide a data throughput four times of that provided by a traditional cell (single downlink timeslot
connection), and thus accelerates the download tasks of the MS, improves the user experience,
and helps the operators make more profit out of data services.

5.3.1.4 Performance Enhancement Solution
 AMR&WB AMR
Figure 53 AMR
AMR can select the traffic channel mode (FR or HR) and the coding mode according to the
channel quality and load. Therefore, AMR contributes a lot in better speech quality, improved
bearer capacity of the system in physical regions and stronger anti-interference capability. It could
balance the network quality and capacity, increasing about 40% network capacity.
Presently, Huawei BSS technologies support NB-AMR and WB-AMR (both FR and HR). Just
through software configuration, operators could realize both AMR FR and AMR HR functions
according to the specific network condition. Besides, Huawei BSS technology could dynamically
switch AMR FR/HR, leading to up to 40% capacity increase without degradation of service quality.
As the system could automatically adjust, the maintenance cost could also be decreased. WB
AMR provides clear and loud voice and high-quality speech compared with the narrow band AMR
with the sampling rate of 8 kHz and the speech frequency range between 200 Hz and 3400 Hz.
In Huawei BSS technology, the AMR wireless link timer is utilized to detect the quality of a
wireless link. By setting the wireless link timer of AMR voice service and that of non-AMR
voice service separately, the operator could prolong the conversation of AMR voice service,
reduce the call drop rate, and increase benefits and win a high subscribers‟ loyalty.
 Enhanced EDGE Performance
When GSM/EDGE radio access network (GERAN) evolution introduced in the network, The rate
of PS services in the uplink and downlink is increased greatly. When four timeslots are used for
uplink data transmission, the theoretical rate of EGPRS is increased from 230 kbit/s to 300 kbit/s.
When ten timeslots are used on the downlink, the theoretical data rate of EGPRS is increased
from 592 kbit/s to 984 kbit/s.
In order to realize it, Huawei adopts following technologies to enhance the PS service.
 MSRD:

The receiver sensitivity of the MS is increased by about 3 dB and the downlink coverage distance
is increased. In conjunction with the dual-antenna interference cancellation (DAIC) technology, the
MSRD feature improves the anti-interference capability of the downlink, thus expanding the
downlink traffic capacity.
 Dual Carriers in Downlink
With dual carriers in downlink, the GSM network can provide subscribers with data services similar
to those provided in a 3G network.
 Uplink EGPRS2-A
With the 16QAM modulation, the theoretical rate of EGPRS is increased from 230 kbit/s to 300
kbit/s.
 Downlink EGPRS2-A
With higher order modulation (16QAM and 32QAM), high symbol rate (1.2 times), and Turbo
codes,, When ten timeslots are used on the downlink, the theoretical data rate of EGPRS is
increased from 592 kbit/s to 984 kbit/s.
 Latency Reduction
This feature reduces the packet transmission latency and thus improves the customer satisfaction.
Figure 54 EDGE evolution
 Priority Control for Different Level Users
eMLPP+HR, providing different classes of services for the users with different priorities, ensures
VIP service quality.

Figure 55 BSS eMLPP+HR Solution
The eMLPP services means to implement different policies for the calls of different priorities when
network resources are seized; The HR (Half Rate) voice services allow two users to share the
same TCH timeslot. Through channel reserved and preemption, it principally assures resources
for high-end subscribers or emergency calls. According to priority, this feature can allocate FR
channels and good speech quality for high-end users. Introduced HR technology, network
capacity can be double without any addition of TRXs. To decrease the congestion rate, the
network real time dynamically adjusts the channel type between FR and HR
 Voice Quality Enhancement Technologies
High voice quality is a prerequisite for subscriber retention. In order to realize it, Huawei adopts

5.3.1.5 ALL IP BSS Network Solution
 ALL IP BSS Solution Introduction
Figure 57 ALL IP BSS
Huawei is the first vendor in the industry to provide All IP BSS solution. Huawei BSC supports IP
over FE/GE, IP over TDM (E1/T1, cPOS).
Huawei BSS also can provide all IP interface, including Abis over IP, A over IP, and Gb over IP.
Based on ALL IP solution, the TrFO function can be supported to improve the voice quality and TC
resources can be saved. Meanwhile, the MSC in pool, the SGSN, in pool can be supported easily.
IP transmission offers sufficient bandwidth to the BTS, thus, new services can be developed
conveniently and efficiently. Operator can also have cheap rent fee, launch services quickly and
maintain network easily, Huawei IP BSS network can help operator reduce total cost.
Moreover, Huawei launched an advanced technology to ensure ALL IP BSS network, IP clock to
provide clock synchronization for several BTSs in the IP network and Abis MUX improves the
transmission efficiency. Huawei IP BSS also provides different QoS mechanisms in each layer to
guarantee the end-to-end QoS, and so on.

 Clock Over IP Support 1588V2
Figure 58 Clock Over IP Application
Clock over IP that complies with IEEE1588V2 provides clock synchronization for several BTSs in
the IP network. Compare with the GPS clock, it is a low-cost clock solution. The transmission cost
increases because the IP timing packets are sent continuously. The function provided by Huawei,
however, allows the operator to define the interval for sending IP timing packets. It can reduce the
transmission bandwidth as long as the BTS clock synchronization is guaranteed.
 Ethernet OAM
With the introduction of IP GSM, the Ethernet as a type of transport bearer is widely used. As a
Layer 2 protocol, Ethernet O&M can report the status of the network at the data link layer. Thus,
the network is monitored and managed more effectively. The functions of Ethernet OAM consist of
fault detection, notification, verification, and identification. The faults involve the hardware faults
that can be detected by the physical layer, such as link failure, and the software faults that cannot
be detected by the physical layer, such as memory bridging unit damage. Ethernet O&M plays a
significant role in reducing CAPEX/OPEX and complying with the Service Level Agreement (SLA).
Figure 59 Ethernet OAM

5.3.1.6 Network Reliability
 MSC Pool
The MSC pool, one BSC can be connected to multiple MSCs simultaneously. With this feature, a
maximum of 32 MSCs form a resource pool to provide services for the subscribers under one
group of BSCs. In addition, the traffic on the BSC is evenly distributed to the MSCs in the pool
according to the NRI or load balancing principle.
The MSCs in an MSC pool share the traffic load and resources. Therefore, this feature provides
the following benefits:
 MSC pool increases the network capacity and saves the equipment investment.
 MSC pool realizes the redundancy backup and thus improves the network reliability because
the addition or deletion of an MSC does not affect the services.
 MSC pool automatically adjusts the traffic load on an MSC and reduces the operation and
maintenance cost of operators.
 The MSC pool is logically an MSC. Therefore, the number of handovers between MSCs is
reduced and the network performance is improved.
The following figure shows the typical networking of the MSC Pool feature:

Figure 60 MSC Pool
 SGSN Pool
With SGSN Pool, one BSC can be connected to multiple SGSNs at the same time. This feature,
which is similar to the MSC Pool feature, enables a maximum of 32 SGSNs to form a resource
pool to provide services for the subscribers belonging to one group of BSCs. In addition, the traffic
on the BSC is evenly distributed to the SGSNs in the pool according to the network resource
identifier (NRI) or load balancing principle.
The SGSNs in an SGSN pool share the traffic load and resources. This feature provides the
following benefits:
 Increases the network capacity and saves the investment on equipment.
 Implements redundancy backup and thus improves the network reliability because the
addition or deletion of an SGSN does not affect the services.
 Reduces handovers between the SGSNs because the SGSNs in an SGSN pool are logically
one SGSN and thus improves the network performance.
 TC POOL
In general, one GTCS belongs to only one BSC and is used to process the CS services of this
BSC. The GTCSs in different BSCs are not associated with each other. In this kind of network
topology, the TC resources cannot be multiplexed among multiple BSCs. In the scenario where
multiple BSCs with small capacity are grouped into a network, the TC resources are greatly
wasted.
The TC pool adapt to the mode that the GTCS is separated from the BSC cabinet and is
connected to the BSC through the Ater interface. The codec resources in the TC pool are shared
by the main BSC and sub-BSCs, which work in load sharing mode. In addition, a BSC can be
connected to only one TC pool. One TC pool supports a maximum of 16 BSCs.
The efficiency of the codec hardware can be increased because multiple BSCs share the same
resources in one TC pool. For the small-capacity BSC, 20% to 30% TC codec resources can be
saved.
Roomage is saved. For example, three small-capacity GTCSs require three cabinets. In TC pool
mode, three GTCSs require only one cabinet. In this manner, 40% to 60% area in the equipment
room can be saved.
The typical network topology is shown in the following figure.

5.3.2 Highlight of Huawei‟s UMTS Solution

5.3.2.1 High Performance HSPA/HSPA+ Solution
With self-designed HSPA chipset, high performance HSPA can be achieved in Huawei UTRAN
products from day one, supporting full performance HSDPA with 15 codes /14.4 Mbps per user on
downlink and HSUPA with 5.76Mbps/user on uplink. For HSPA+ phase1, Huawei supports
21Mbps and 28Mbps per user on downlink with 64QAM and 2x2MIMO technique respectively.
In order to save evolution investment and keep the leading position of UMTS, Huawei is
recommending HSPA/HSPA+ deployment strategy as follows:
 High performance HSPA/HSPA+ capability
To support high performance HSDPA and avoid hardware upgrade at the next stage, the Node B
should be ready to support full HSDPA performance from day one. Huawei supports this
philosophy by offering a Node B that supports 15 codes and peak bit rates at 14.4Mbit/s per cell.
Besides that, Huawei Node B supports all the 12 UE categories, avoiding system upgrade
investment along with the UE capability improvement.
Huawei HSUPA solution supports E-DCH TTI 10ms and 2ms, peak data rate up to 5.76Mbps.
Huawei has helped StarHub Singapore, eMobile Japan, Vodafone Spain, etc. to launch HSUPA
commercially with 1.92Mbps since 2007Q3.
With Huawei‟s advanced new generation Node B and RNC, Huawei can also provide high
performance HSPA+ phase1 solution, which has the ability to evolution to HSPA+ phase2
smoothly.
 Coverage improvement
In HSDPA solution, Huawei supports HS-DPCCH preamble mode technology help the Node B to
distinguish between DTX and ACK/NACK without requiring a large ACK transmit power. In this
way, the uplink coverage gain is about 0.2dB to 0.9dB with different accompanying DPCH service.
 DL 64QAM+MIMO improves user DL throughput and cell throughput
a) Introduction of DL 64QAM +MIMO

MIMO and 64QAM are introduced in 3GPP Release 7 and can only be used independently. In
3GPP Release 8, however, MIMO and 64QAM can be used in combination to increase the peak
throughput of a single user.
With 64QAM+MIMO, the peak throughput of a single user can reach 42Mbit/s, compared to
28Mbit/s with 16QAM+MIMO or 21Mbit/s with 64QAM only.
b) Benefits of Huawei MIMO solution
 MIMO proved to bring high performance in spectral efficiency, cell capacity and user
throughput across the whole cell
 MIMO deployment options can be a cost effective way to increase networks value
and end users perception
 Major MIMO deployment issues could be solved

 Legay 1Tx RF cascade and new 2Tx RF solution
 New algorithm has been proved for solving MIMO+HSDPA co-carrier

MIMO will obtain relatively high gain in the micro cell.
 For network where 64QAM has been configured, combined application of 64 QAM
and MIMO will obtain gain in both macro and micro cell and the gain is mainly from
the application of MIMO technique.
d) Leading position of DL MIMO+64QAM in industry

Huawei owns richest MIMO experience in 2009 and released MIMO RRU3908 in 2008.It shows
that Huawei is 2 year ahead industry for MIMO hardware ready.
In DL 64QAM and MIMO, Huawei is about one year leading ahead of other vendors both for
software and hardware ready.
 DC-HSDPA Solution improves network performance
1) Introduction of DC-HSDPA solution
HSPA+ data can also be transmitted by the combination of two or more carriers and
this result in double or more times of data throughput. HSPA+ based on R8 uses
two carriers of consecutive frequencies in downlink and named as Dual Cell
HSDPA (DC-HSDPA). If both the network and the user equipment are capable of
Dual-Carrier HSDPA operation, the network will be able to configure the user
equipment not only with a (primary) serving cell but also with a secondary serving
cell originating from the same base station but on an adjacent carrier frequency.
Figure 64 DC-HSDPA working principle

2) Key benefits of DC-HSDPA solution
DC-HSDPA is an alternative of MIMO to improve the data throughput and users‟

experience. The carrier aggregation process enables the increase in capacity and user
throughput. The key benefits of DC-HSDPA are improved user experience, easy
deployment and low network cost.
a) Improve User Experience & Network Performance
DC-HSDPA provide higher throughput to the end-users even they are far from the
transceiver. The coverage performance of a DC user is higher than every other HSPA
user.

Figure 65 DC-HSDPA service coverage comparison with other HSPA users
(Remark: from Huawei lab test)
b) Easy Deployment and Low Cost
For a deployed network, it is easy to upgrade it for the DC-HSDPA, no new antenna
configuration and no new transceivers required for DC-HSDPA. The cells only need
software configuration for DC-HSDPA if the network is already operating on the multi
frequency configurations in a same coverage area. For the areas where the cell is
covered by one carrier frequency only, there will be new requirement for another
carrier and it will cost some extra amount.
c) Decreases burst service and HTTP service relay remarkably
DC-HSDPA has best performance for the burst services like http, gaming or small
size download files. The burst services consume a small amount of resource and
users‟ transmission time is small, therefore; DC-HSDPA cells can easily share
their resources to all the subscribers.
d) Utilizes operators frequency resources and improves capacity and be compatible

with original terminals well.
3) Unique benefits of Huawei DC-HSDPA solution
a) Only software upgrade is needed for legacy market supporting DC-HSDPA
b) The network elements developed by Huawei are hardware ready for the
DC-HSDPA operations and only software up-gradation required. The SingleBTS
NodeBs and 6810/6900 series RNC types are capable to support DC-HSDPA
functionality through software up-gradation. The joint scheduling, channel
mapping and radio resource management are handled only by the software
change in the legacy elements.
c) Large capacity of baseband board, one board of 6 cells can support 2 carrier
DC-HSDPA.
d) First to provide Multi Carrier Transceivers.

 UL 16QAM increases system capacity of HSUPA cells
a) Introduction of UL 16QAM
HSPA+ uses HOM techniques in uplink to increase the number of bits per data symbol and
hence to increase the cell throughput capacity. In uplink, HSPA+ uses a 16QAM modulation
scheme instead of QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying), the number of bits per symbol
increases from 2bits to 4bits and hence the Uplink peak data rate can reach up to 11.5 Mb/s.
Figure 1-12 and Table1-3 gives the details descriptions of UL modulation schemes.
b) Benefits of UL16QAM
c) Raise the user peak rate and cell throughput
d) Obtain higher performance in Micro cell and indoor area than in Macro cell
e) Summary of UL 16QAM solution
f) Uplink 16QAM modulation scheme increases in uplink data throughput from 5.76Mps to
11.5Mbps. This is a 100% improvement over the previous 3GPP release of HSUPA.
g) UL 16QAM improves the UL data transmission performance and increases the system
capacity of HSUPA cells.
h) Leading position of Huawei UL 16QAM in industry
Huawei is around one year leading ahead of other vendors in UL16QAM.
 HSPA+ Global Deployment
HSPA+ has quickly been embraced by many of the world‟s leading operators. More and more
operators had commercially deployed HSPA+ and more than 50 were engaged in vendor trials. It
is expected that by 2010 many more operators will have commercially deployed HSPA+.
GSA Survey on Global HSPA+ Commitments and Deployments on April 14 2010: Totally 101
HSPA+ networks, among which 51 commercial HSPA+ network, 50 HSPA+ networks in
deployment or planed. By Q1 2010, Huawei had already won more than 27 commercial HSPA+

5.3.2.2 MBMS Solution
 Overview
As one of the Leading Mobile MBMS vendors in the industry, Huawei has made some great
achievements in MBMS solution as the following:
 Due to heavy investments in MBMS technology, Huawei holds 22% of the ETSI MBMS
patents.
 1st vendor to perform live MBMS demo in Barcelona with 256Kbps worldwide.
 Helping PCCW deploy first commercialized UMTS network with simplified MBMS
technology (CMB) in Hong Kong.
 Huawei High-quality and More Competitive MBMS Solution
MBMS solution immediately launched by Huawei will have more enhanced features.
a) Supporting enhanced broadcast solution
Figure 68 Huawei MBMS Solution

Huawei MBMS broadcast solution is the unidirectional transmission of multimedia data (such as
text, audio, picture, video) from a single source entity to all users in the broadcast service area, it
includes P-T-P (point-to-point) mode and P-T-M (point-to-multi-point) mode. The enhanced
broadcast solution supports “counting/re-counting” function. Based on “Counting/re-counting”
result, RNC can select optimum transfer mode: PTM or PTP. In PTM mode, FACH/SCCPCH is
used to bear the MBMS services; in PTP mode, DCH or HSDPA is used to bear the MBMS
services. If in a cell there is no user interested in one specific MBMS service, RAN can decide to
cancel the service automatically.
b) Innovative Iub Transmission Sharing Solution Saving 66% Transmission

Resources
Figure 69 Iub Transmission Sharing

Usually FACH channels in Iub interface are used to transport multimedia broadcast data
services from RNC to a few cells in a Node B. Without Iub transmission sharing, each cell must
have a FACH channel for transporting the data services from RNC so that more transmission
resources must be required in Iub interface.
By Huawei innovative Iub transmission sharing solution, a few cells in a Node B can share a
FACH channel if all the cells broadcast the same services. We can take 3x1 Node B for an
example, 66% transmission resources can be saved if 3 cells share a FACH channel. Obviously
operators can benefit from Iub transmission sharing solution.
c) Supporting MSCH
Huawei MBMS solution can support MSCH. Although MSCH is optional in 3GPP, Huawei
MBMS solution can support MSCH from day one. With the help of MSCH, MBMS terminal
power consumption can be reduced.
 Continuous Efforts in MBMS and Bright Future
For a long time, Huawei has been dedicated in MBMS research in specifications and patents. Up
to now, 14 Huawei patents have been stated to ETSI and covered the total patents by 22%. With
some leading operators such as Vodafone, Huawei has been making efforts to promote the
development of MBMS in the industry. In-depth MBMS research and rich CMB commercialized
experiences have helped Huawei to take a leading position in MBMS solution.
5.3.2.3 UTRAN IP Transmission Solution
 Overview
As IP technology is implemented more and more widely, IP becomes the most used transport
technology with the best cost efficiency. With the development of HSDPA and HSUPA, more
transport bandwidth will be needed. UTRAN IP transmission will be a good choice for operators.
Figure 70 UTRAN IP Transport Solution
Based on the current IP network condition, Huawei provides several UTRAN IP transmission
solutions. For Iu interface, Huawei provides Ethernet interface. As for Iub interface, Huawei
provides ATM access method for traditional ATM network whereas Ethernet interface for IP

network. In order to use popular ADSL port, Huawei also provides ADSL access method. Likewise,
to guarantee the quality of voice and to lower cost, Huawei provides hybrid IP transmission.
 IP over ATM Transmission Solution
Since ATM transport is the popular transport resource currently, IP over ATM is necessary. When
ATM Transport network carries Iub interface data, RNC and NodeB provide E1/T1 interface to
access ATM transport network. Huawei Iub interface IP protocol is compliant to 3GPP protocol,
UDP carries FP frame, and SCTP carries NBAP data. Huawei provides TCP to carry O&M data.
Huawei E1/T1 Iub interface supports ML-PPP/HDLC function in order to provide higher
bandwidth.
The highlight of IP over ATM:
 Enhance the quality of IP service because ATM can provide the QOS guarantee.
 Good ability of flow control and fault resilience, have good network reliability.
 Suitable for multi-service, has a good network extension.
Figure 71 IP Transport based on ATM Transport Network
 All IP Transmission Solution
In future, IP network will become more popular and will be used for Iub interface. RNC and NodeB
can then be connected to each other directly by metro Ethernet network through their FE
interfaces to access data communication network.
In general, NodeB cannot connect with RNC within the same metro Ethernet. NodeB needs to
access to metro Ethernet first, then access to IP network by edge router. However, RNC can
access directly to IP network.
For NodeB, the last mile access method is abundant, such as ADSL, SHDSL, MSTP, xPON, and
so on.
To solve the line synchronization for all IP transmission, Huawei provide clock over IP solution
instead of GPS to greatly reduce investment.

Figure 72 IP Transmission based on IP Transport Network
 Hybrid ATM/IP Transmission Solution
When the traditional UMTS network introduces HSDPA/HSUPA, The Traffic of RAN will be
increased greatly. If adopt traditional TDM transmission, the cost will be too huge to be accepted
by Operator. Due to the complexity of access network, If we adopt all IP transmission between
Node B and RNC, the QoS of real time service, such as Voice and Video Phone, cannot be
assured. In order to reach the balance of QoS and cost, Huawei introduces the IP Hybrid Base
Station Transmission Solution, which can solve the QoS of Network with low cost. Huawei
proposes the use of hybrid transmission solution on Iub interface whereby voice traffic will be
carried by TDM/ATM transport network and best effort traffic carried by IP network.
Figure 73 Hybrid IP Transmission Solution
 Leading position of Huawei IP RAN solution
Huawei is more than one year ahead of other vendors in IP RAN.
 1st vendor to support IP RAN solution, transmission cost saving
 1st vendor to deploy commercial pure IP transmission, making full use of your transmission
resource
 Only one vendor to realize Native IP RAN solution in the industry
 1st vendor to provide clock over IP with clock server in commercial network, no need
external GPS or BITS to support synch.
 No.1 in the benchmark-test of Vodafone at 10 consecutive quarters, perfect reliability

mechanism for stable performance

5.3.2.4 Co-site Solution
 Overview
In order to speed up the construction and to cut down the CAPEX for setting up UMTS Network, it
is very important to share the existing facilities and the sites as far as practicable. Huawei is
experienced at 2G & 3G systems sharing the facilities and sharing the sites. Relying on this
experience, Huawei has summarized several general principles for 2G & 3G systems sharing the
facilities and the sites.
The UMTS network shall be of the excellent performance and 2G network performance has no
regression, even adopting 2G & 3G sharing sites solution.
Adoption of 2G & 3G sharing site solution shall insure the clear boundary between two Network
structures and systems, in order for easy maintenance and system management, and no
networks and no services cross-interfering.
The key objective for adopting 2G & 3G sharing site solution is to help the service provider
customer to cut down the CAPEX for constructing the new network. Any 2G & 3G sharing site
solution shall be obeying this economical rule.
 Huawei’s Co site solution
The co site solution should fully consider the existing site conditions and the requirements of the
operator. The aspects of the co site solution shall include the space sharing, antenna system
sharing, transmission sharing, power sharing, etc. To ensure the reasonable reutilization of the
resource and the safety of the operation, the site survey and the detail site design shall be
conducted before the implementation. A general procedure for co site implementation is shown as

 Antenna System Sharing
Due to the high cost of the installation and maintenance of the antenna system, the antenna
system sharing solution is always welcome to the operators. By the development of the antenna
technology, the sharing of the antenna and feeder system becomes more and more popular.
Huawei could plan and design the antenna system sharing solution based on the customer‟s
requirements and provide the necessary auxiliary equipments. Some typical antenna sharing
scenarios are shown as follows for sample:
Figure 76 Antenna Sharing Solution
 Space Sharing
Depending on the space of the existing equipment room or shelter, Huawei will propose the
different product solutions accordingly:
If there is the enough space in the existing equipment room, Huawei will adopt indoor equipment.
During the on site survey and the engineering design period, Huawei will also evaluate the space
and the conditions and the life-span of existing shelters and consider the necessary alteration, in
order to install the new equipment and make the equipment operating normally.

If there is no enough space in the existing room for installing new equipment, Huawei will propose
and adopt the Distributing Base Station (DBS) equipment or outdoor equipment, in accordance
with the site conditions. Huawei will evaluate the cost of those two solutions during on site survey
and engineering design and select the best solution for customer.
Figure 77 Space Sharing Solution
 Transmission Sharing
To some operators, the cost of the transmission renting or maintenance is another huge
disbursement, especially for those suburban sites. So the transmission sharing solution is also
very important to the operators. Through flexible sharing of the transmission system, the TCO
could be obviously saved. Huawei Node Bs support IP RAN and other transmission sharing
modes, which will let the operator have abundance choices on transmission sharing. The
recommended sharing solution is fractional ATM mode, which could use part of the timeslots of
the E1 to carry the ATM message.
Figure 78 Transmission Sharing Solution of Fractional ATM

5.3.2.5 RAN Sharing Solution
 Overview
RAN sharing is an effective way to save CAPEX and OPEX., and approximate 30% ~ 40%
CAPEX and OPEX will be saved by RAN sharing. It can quicken the nationwide wide roll-out as
well. RAN sharing makes operators focus more on new and innovative services for end users with
less effort on roll-out and maintenances. RAN sharing brings better services, better quality of
experience and better coverage for end users.
Huawei can provide two kinds of RAN Sharing solution: Dedicted Carrier RS (MRNC) and Shared
Carrier RS (MOCN). In this proposal, Huawei introduces MOCN solution to SMART.
 MOCN
In the MOCN solution, operators share resources of the entire UTRAN, including spectrum
resources. This solution is applicable to the following scenarios:
 A 3G-licensed operator shares spectrum resources with other operators.
 The operator who owns multiple spectrums uses these spectrums as a resource pool and
shares the pool with the operators who have no spectrums.
MOCN has the following characteristics:
 The UTRAN of the shared area is constructed by one operator and shared by other
operators. These operators contribute their spectrum resources (if any) and share all
spectrum resources between each other (no matter whether an operator contributes
spectrum resources or not).
 The shared RAN is connected to the CNs of multiple operators.
 Each operator is allowed to deploy Iu Flex, and the CN nodes within an operator's network
form a CN pool.
 The UEs in the same shared cell are routed from the RAN to the CNs of respective
operators.

Figure 79 MOCN
The MOCN solution enables two to four operators to share RNCs and Node Bs and at the same
time to use their own CN. The operators work together to deploy CBS. With the application of this
solution, a cell can broadcast a Multiple PLMN ID LIST containing PLMN IDs of multiple operators.
The MOCN-enabled Supporting UE can choose a PLMN ID and send it to the RNC. The RNC
selects an appropriate route for this UE. If a Non-supporting UE exists in the shared cell, the UE
does not report any PLMN information to the RNC. Usually, at this time the RNC can determine a
route according to the PLMN ID derived from the IMSI or according to the NRI in the TMSI or
P-TMSI.
 If the PLMN ID or NRI corresponds to one of the CNs that the RNC is connected to, the
RNC is directly routed to the corresponding CN node.
 If the PLMN ID or NRI does not correspond to any of the CNs that the RNC is connected to,
the RNC tries to connect to each CN according to a certain principle. If the routing fails, the
RNC tries the next CN Node By following the Redirect process until the routing succeeds.
If the IMSI, TMSI, or P-TMSI is unavailable, the RNC keeps trying the CNs one by one according
to a certain principle.
The MOCN solution uses only one set of OSS equipment.
5.3.2.6 Smooth Evolution to HSPA+/LTE
The evolution paths for both distributed Node B and macro Node B is shown as follows:
Figure 80 Smooth Evolution to HSPA+/LTE
 The Baseband Unit BBU3900 has 6 slots for base board, which supports the plug-and-play
function. The BBU is hardware ready for HSPA+ phase 1 (downlink 64QAM and MIMO 2 x 2)
and only need to add new baseband card to support HSPA+ phase 2 (uplink 16QAM) and
LTE respectively.
 The RF Unit (RRU3804, RRU3908 and RF) is hardware ready for HSPA+, LTE, and only
need software upgrade to support HSPA+ and LTE at the same frequency band.

A continuous investment reduces the TCO, improving the coverage and capacity and enhancing
the maintainability makes Huawei proposed network solution a cost-efficient solution. Huawei
multi-mode solution has prominent features such as distributed structure, large capacity, high
performance, low power consumption, and so on, which help operators save TCO at great height.
The multi-mode Solution consisted of the solutions are as follows:
 TCO Saving
With the development of GSM/UMTS, operators are more and more focusing on the construction
and operation cost of a network. Huawei focused on reducing CAPEX and saving OPEX for
operators from different aspects as follows. In each aspect, Huawei has adopted many advanced
technologies to save cost.
 Unit-equipment: one deployment for 10 years‟ viability
 Unit-site: Co-Auxiliary facilities
 Transmission Saving: Local Call Local Switching, Hub BTS, etc.
 Power Consumption Saving: Direct Cooling in power, High efficiency PA, Power sharing, etc.
 Civil Work Saving: Distributed BTS, etc.
 Co-OAM: one maintenance team, optimize human resources
 Smooth Evolution: SDR technology, UMTS900&LTE hardware reuse
 Enhanced Coverage
Quickly set up a network by reducing the number of sites will not only win the competition but also
save the TCO. The leading operators have adopted the latest enhanced coverage technology that
can be used in both GSM & UMTS. This Enhanced Coverage Solution reduces 30% cell sites as
follows:
 Leading RF Performance: Higher receive sensitivity.
 Remote Radio Unit: 3db feeder loss avoided with fiber connection.
 Transmit Diversity/Dynamic Transmit Diversity
 4-Way Receive Diversity
 Satellite Transmission
 Extended Cell
 Performance Enhancement
Along with the development of GSM/UMTS network, VMS attracts subscribers by excellent
service, flexible charging, and abundant handsets. The total revenue increases with the addition of
new subscribers. However, the ARPU decreases. In this situation, VMS is facing pressures of
expanding network capacity and improving service types and quality. Huawei introduces a series
of technologies to enhance network performance for VMS:
 AMR
 Wireless broadband service based on Edge+/HSPA/HSPA+
 Frequency Hopping
 ICC/IBCA/Soft Synchronization
 Dynamic MAIO
 eMLPP +HR
 Service Quality Enhancement Technologies
 Smooth Evolution
Most of the operators have firmly believed that GSM/UMTS will evolve into LTE. That is a new
opportunity and challenge. With All-IP strategy, Huawei will build a future-oriented network for
operator and upgrade operator‟s network to LTE in the smoothest way. Huawei Smooth Evolution
Solution will save OPEX and reduce CAPEX by the ways such as reusing hardware and dynamic
capacity adjustment and so on.
 GSM /GPRS Evolution into GERAN

 GSM/EDGE/GERAN Evolution into LTE
 UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ Evolution in to LTE
 Multi-mode BSC
5.3.3 High Transmission Efficiency /Improved Performance with 2G/3G

Integrated
In multi-mode era, transmission cost counted as an important part of operator‟s TCO. Constructing
a cost-effective transmission network and being available for the need of the future evolution is a
challenge for all the operators. Huawei‟s co-transmission solution can solve this problem. It
includes two solutions based on different bearing network to fully reuse the exiting transmission
resource and protect customer investment.
Co-transmission Based on TDM network
Figure 81 Co-transmission Solution Based on TDM network
For some operators, they have an existing SDH network, and want to take back the investment as
soon as possible. Moreover, they have a difficulty in newly build an IP bearing network.
Therefore, Huawei provides this solution to fully use the existing TDM network. The GSM & UMTS
system can transmit the traffic in different TDM time slot independently on the SDH/PDH network
through the same E1/T1 line. UMTS BTS can adopt either ATM/IMA/Fractional ATM or IP/ML
PPP/PPP solutions. GSM can adopt TDM/ Abis over IP solutions. This makes the application
much more flexible.
Co-transmission Based on IP network

Figure 82 Co-transmission Solution Based on IP network
For some operators who have an existing IP network or wish to construct an IP transmission
network, Huawei‟s co-transmission solution based on the IP network can fulfill their needs.
The GSM & UMTS system can transport the traffic on the same IP network through the same
E1/FE/GE line. GSM & UMTS can share the transmission resources dynamically, so there will be
a transmission convergent effect, and the transmission efficiency will be enhanced.
As a single network, the resources of 2G&3G should be shared in the total system. How to
manage the resources to get the efficient and improved network performance? Huawei has done
a lot of effort on researching this field, we think it will be a trend of multi-mode network, and our
unique Co-RRM and Co-TRM solutions will be benefit and help to achieve customer‟s business
plan.
Co-RRM
Co-RRM is especially useful for the applications where different RAT cover the same area.
Co-RRM maximizes the efficiency of different radio access network by selecting a suitable
network for camping or accessing a subscriber. Co-RRM can further lead to reduce power
consumption by dynamically allocating traffic between different radio access technologies and
shutting down some carriers in a particular RAT.
With separate network implementation cell load information is exchanged by core network
intervention and it will have the associated signaling delay and also delay in handover procedures,
one of the unique advantages with MBSC and Co-RRM feature is that core network intervention is
avoided and thus it helps in reducing handover and associated signaling delays as shown in 0,
and reduce service interruption time to less than 680 ms.
- Improved Performance with Co-RRM

Figure 83 Co-RRM Solution
Co-TRM
Co-Transmission Resource Management (TRM) facilitates efficient access to 2G or 3G with

unique features such as Uni- Connection Admission Control (CAC), Uni-Flow control more
numbers of users can be effectively allocated to 2G/3G service. Co-TRM feature not only helps to
reduce maintenance trouble for the operators‟ but also helps to increase the efficiency of the
transmission resources.Morover, Co-TRM provide convergent solution and can be monitored and
maintained with Unified O&M.

 Huawei LMT for each type of Network Element, which is the local maintenance
terminal installed software for specific NE‟s, capable of supporting full signal tracing
and trouble shooting functions besides the common O&M capability in NE level.
The M2000 and the LMT form two levels of an O&M system. Operators can manage and
maintain the authorized NEs via the M2000 Client, through the TCP/IP Ethernet network. The
major interface between M2000 and NEs is the highly efficient Man Machine Language (MML).
In case the connection fails or M2000 is unavailable, each NE will be managed and
maintained via the LMT respectively.
5.4.2 Huawei‟s Powerful iMananger M2000

iManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System can manage all the GSM&UMTS
network elements and the relative IP network equipments. In the future, the managed objects
(MO) of M2000 solution will include all IMS network elements. iManager M2000 has the
following characteristics:
 Component based architecture
The CORBA component based architecture enables M2000 to expand its capacity smoothly
to meet network requirements. Besides that, the design flexibility enables it to be easily
extended with other components.
 Implementing standard and open Northbound interfaces
The system supports standard 3GPP IRP CORBA solution sets, together with file interface,
database interface, alarm streaming interface, SNMP interface. These customizable open
northbound interfaces (Itf-N) well support customer to build a well-integrated OM system, with
an upper level NMS managing EMSs from multiple vendors.
 Remote maintenance with security
By accessing M2000 system through PSTN remote dialup, a remote user can maintain its
UMTS network flexibly. All operations implemented by the remote user are monitored. When
the remote user quits, a maintenance report is generated automatically.
 Software management
The system provides the function of transferring files between NE and M2000. M2000 can
download file to multiple NEs simultaneously, which hence improves file transfer performance
and reduces management work.

The system can also manage all software‟s versions of managed NEs. NE version
management functions include version information management, version file management,
version activation, etc.
 Dynamic upgrade
M2000 system upgrade has no impact on NEs. The function modules of M2000 can be
upgraded independently.
 Customizing performance report
The template and content of performance report can be customized flexibly. Users can do
further processing on generated reports, including printing, querying, statistics, etc.
 Alarm correlation processing
Alarm correlation analysis and processing are performed based on the expandable alarm
rules.
 Status monitor
The status of device boards, CPU, database, memory, and M2000 itself can be monitored
dynamically.
 Resource statistics
System resources such as IP addresses, ports, signaling points, device boards, M2000 server,
and so on can be gathered and refreshed automatically.
 Interface message tracing and user message tracing
Specified signaling messages of various interfaces can be traced, which enables users to get
the current network status and locate faults.
5.4.3 Abundant Northbound Interfaces for OSS Integrated Solution
As an element management system (EMS), the iManager M2000 provides abundant and
flexible northbound interfaces to the upper-layer network management system (NMS).
These interfaces include CORBA interface, the FTP file interface, SNMP interface, etc. The
flexible northbound interfaces offered by Huawei can help the carriers to:
 Conveniently and quickly construct the operation and maintenance system

 Integrate the NMS and Huawei‟s EMS
 Seamlessly embed Huawei‟s mobile communication equipment in their original O&M
system
5.4.4 CME for Graphical Network Configurations and Tuning
Aiming at the complexity of wireless network configurations, Huawei offers the
Configuration Management Express (CME) with graphic interface. The CME provides users
with fast and convenient wireless network configuration solutions in the different O&M
scenarios, saves the cost of construction. The typical scenarios are as following:
 Initial construction configuration

 Transmission configuration
 Adjustment of the wireless parameters
 Cell relationship
The CME has the following attributes:
 Offering friendly human-machine exchanging policy

 Offering the navigation interface based on the network topology and protocol stack
 Simplifying and visualizing the configurations by combining the configuration and
maintenance scenarios of RAN
Meanwhile, the CME has powerful configuration functions, including:
 Configuration based on current data area and planned data area

 Re-parent Configuration
 Configuration wizard
 Configuration data check, etc.
5.4.5 iSStar Offering Customized O&M Development Platform
The integrate script star (iSSTAR) of the M2000 system is a script development platform
independently developed by Huawei. It is capable of powerful script development. Based on
the python language, the is STAR has the following advantages:
 Supporting the programmable logic control of the MML scripts

 Offering compilation and batch execution functions
 Providing abundant Huawei Foundation Class (HFC) library
 Conveniently expanding the compilation function of scripts
By using the iSSTAR, the carriers can independently develop the scripts of different O&M
functions according to their requirements, scenarios, and working habits. For instance, the
scripts can include the routine check of equipment, real-time supervision of the network,
batch data modifications, etc.
The script compilation is convenient, time-saving, and matches different O&M scenarios. It
greatly improves efficiency and reduces costs.
5.4.6 Software Management and Remote Upgrade Solution to Save OPEX

The software management offered by Huawei can manage the NEs‟ software versions,
patches, licenses, and configuration data. It can also download and activate the software by
batches. The software management offers the GUI to manage the software versions and
patches. Through the tool of graphic Node-B software upgrade wizard, Huawei‟s software
management can download and activate 500 Node-B‟s software at most each time. In
addition, the download and activation of software can be scheduled as scheduling tasks.
The remote upgrade is an important issue of the software management. By using automatic
download and activation software by batches, the complicated grades can be implemented

in easy way. Huawei‟s graphic BSC one-touch upgrade wizard greatly reduces the
complexity of upgrading operation, shortens the time of upgrading and service disruption,
and reduces the risks of upgrading.
The software management and remote upgrade solution has the following advantages:
 Implementing the remote upgrade of the mobile network equipment
 Saving the time for the operators
 Improving working efficiency
 Reducing the cost of operation and maintenance
5.5 Inter-working Solution with Existing GSM/GPRS/EDGE System

5.5.1 Inter-working Solution Overview
Spectral efficiency of UMTS is higher than GSM. Hence, operators with high GSM user
penetration rate will consider deploying UMTS network to optimize the total capacity of wireless
network (GSM plus UMTS) within a certain spectrum.
It needs seamless inter-working between existing GSM network and overlay UMTS network to
offer continuous services. In different phases of UMTS deployment, the user distribution of GSM
and UMTS/GSM dual mode is different and the coverage area of UMTS network increases
gradually from the initial phase. It is important to consider different inter-working strategies in
order to achieve operating efficiencies and savings.
Different concerns for operators in UMTS deployment will result in different inter-working
strategies between UMTS and existing GSM network. By considering operating efficiencies, it is
a need to maximize network capacity and to initiate as little as possible of inter-RAT handover. If
the inter-working solution has very little impact on existing GSM system, the investment on
existing GSM network can be reduced, resulting in total cost saving of network deployment.
Based on the above considerations, the proposal of an inter-working solution is recommended

as compared to different solutions.
5.5.2 Inter-working Solutions and Strategy
Camp solution and inter-RAT handover/cell reselection/cell change order solution are two
parts of inter-working solution. There is a need to consider these two solutions respectively.
Once UMTS is introduced to overlay GSM network, there are three possible solutions for
UMTS/GSM dual mode terminal camping. The table below is used to compare these three
solutions in terms of impact on network load, service experience for users and handover.
To fully utilize the capacity of UMTS network, improve the service quality and attract user
with UMTS based services, Huawei recommends „prefer UMTS‟ solution for network camp.

problem in network
optimization and
adjustment.
For UMTS CS services, there are four possible solutions for inter-RAT handover between
UMTS and GSM. Based on the following analysis, Huawei recommends unidirectional
inter-RAT handover for CS service.
Unidirectional inter-RAT handover from UMTS: Only inter-RAT handover from GSM to
UMTS is performed to offer seamless service. It only needs software patch for GSM system
to support inter-handover from UMTS.
Bidirectional inter-RAT handover: Inter-RAT handover from/to UMTS to/from GSM is

performed to offer seamless service. It requires big changes on GSM BSS and MSC. It
means that operators need to increase investments in GSM network to support
bidirectional inter-RAT handover. It can‟t make total saving in network deployment and
operation.
Non inter-RAT handover: In initial phase, scale of UMTS network is small. Calls will be
dropped once UEs move out of UMTS area if inter-RAT handover is not performed. In
developing/mature phase of UMTS deployment, more and more users will camp on UMTS
network. So, the load of GSM will become less. It can‟t maximize the usage of total network
capacity if no inter-RAT handover to GSM is performed.
Unidirectional inter-RAT handover from GSM: Only inter-RAT handover from UMTS to
GSM is performed. It requires big change in existing GSM elements. And it will have call
drop once out of UMTS coverage (which will often happens in initial phase of UMTS
deployment.).
For UMTS PS service, cell reselection/cell change order procedure is used to keep call
connection once UEs are moving. It only requires GPRS/EDGE support three additional
system information: SI 2ter; SI 3; SI 2quater. Therefore, Huawei recommends bidirectional

cell reselection/cell change order for PS service.
According to the above analysis, Huawei recommends „prefer to use UMTS, unidirectional
handover from UMTS for CS service and bidirectional cell reselection for PS service‟
solution for VMS‟s inter-working between UMTS and existing GSM network. In every
different phase of UMTS deployment, the coverage area of UMTS is different. There will be
impact from the adopting of handover methods to implement the inter-RAT handover.
Considering the small scale UMTS network in initial phase, Huawei recommends coverage
based on inter-RAT handover from UMTS to GSM to keep service continuity. As the UMTS
network develops, load balancing of UMTS and GSM becomes much more critical. Then,
Huawei recommends service and load based inter-RAT handover to maximize the total
network capacity.
The following sub-sections are used to describe the detailed solution of camp and
inter-RAT handover/cell reselection.
1) Camp solution
When an UE is switched on or in roaming, its primary work is to find and connect to a

network to obtain services. This means that this UE needs to camp on one network. If an
UE is switched on in an area covered by UMTS and GSM, Huawei recommends:
Network selection to UMTS network: This can be done by parameter setting (HPLMN with
access technology) in the USIM card. If different PLMNs are used in GSM and UMTS,
UMTS PLMN is set as HPLMN. Else if same PLMN is used for GSM and UMTS, UMTS is
set as higher priority access network. Huawei recommends same PLMN for GSM and
UMTS for it will not require VMS to sign additional roaming agreement for newly adopted
PLMN.
Cell reselection to GSM when there is only GSM coverage (out of UMTS coverage)
Cell reselection to UMTS when there is UMTS coverage
Huawei recommends cell reselection instead of PLMN reselection for UE in idle mode.
PLMN reselection will be performed at least 6 minutes after UE comes back to UMTS
coverage. During this period, UE cannot request for UMTS based services. Cell reselection
can be performed immediately just based on radio measurement.

Figure 86 Coverage Based Inter-RAT Handover
In the initial phase of UMTS deployment, GSM network has better coverage than UMTS
network. Not only that, dual mode users are less than GSM only users. Huawei
recommends only coverage based inter-RAT handover is performed. UMTS can support
CS service, PS service, combination services (CS + PS). For different services, Huawei
recommends different handover strategies:
CS services only: Inter-RAT handover to GSM is performed when out of UMTS coverage.
Then, the call is kept in GSM until call is ended even UE moves into UMTS coverage again.
PS services only: Inter-RAT Cell reselection (when UE is not in CELL_DCH state) or

inter-RAT cell change order (when UE is in CELL_DCH state) to GPRS/EDGE is performed
when UE is out of UMTS coverage. When there is UMTS coverage, inter-RAT cell
reselection to UMTS is performed to offer higher data services.
CS service + PS service: For combined services, Huawei recommends to ensure CS

service continuity. The strategy is the same for CS service only. PS service connection will
be kept in the same network as CS service connection.
UE needs to perform cell reselection procedure to return to UMTS when UE is in idle mode
and moved into UMTS coverage.

In developing/mature phase of UMTS deployment, UMTS network has better coverage.

Dual mode users are eventually more than GSM only users. Huawei recommends service
and load based inter-RAT handover. Considering the capability of GSM network, different
handover strategies for different services are required. For details refer to the above figure.
K1/ K2% is the load threshold that is used to initialize service and load based handover.
They can be set to the same or different value which is less than the threshold used to
initialize congestion control. Once cell load exceeds K1/K2%, RNC will initialize
corresponding action. R1/R2 data rate is set to a maximum data rate that
GSM/GPRS/EDGE can support. As per the specification, this functionality shall be
performed under the CN control (CN will set one proper IE in RAB assignment.). Huawei
RNC also supports this functionality by RNC configuration.
If there are combination services, RNC will first consider handover UE with single
connection to GSM and keep UE with combination services in UMTS network because
currently only UMTS network can support combination services.
When there is no UMTS coverage, coverage based on inter-RAT handover will be

performed. The strategy is similar to the one used in initial phase.
