3D Beamforming (FDD) Feature Parameter Description 3 Overview

3 Overview

Based on the increasing traffic volume in densely populated urban areas, the capacity
requirements in next few years are predicted to increase threefold to sixfold, and the spectrum
resources in the 1.8 GHz to 2.6 GHz bands are so limited that they should be fully utilized.
This feature uses active antenna units (AAUs) to provide Static Shared Beam (SSB) and
Dynamic Dedicated Beam (DDB) functions. If multiple carriers are configured on the same
AAU, it is recommended that they all use the same function: SSB or DDB.
l SSB generates two beams on the vertical plane to serve two 4T4R cells at each 8T8R
AAU, as shown in Figure 3-1.

Figure 3-1 SSB

l DDB sets up an 8T8R cell to provide dedicated traffic beams for multiple UEs
simultaneously, as shown in Figure 3-2.

3D Beamforming (FDD) Feature Parameter Description 4 SSB

4 SSB

4.1 Principles
SSB uses beamforming to generate two cells, inner and outer, on an AAU in the vertical
plane. The two cells operate on the same frequency. This function is used for capacity
expansion at hotspots. It is an option for operators that require capacity expansion but do not
have additional frequencies available.
NOTE

This function is mainly used for downlink capacity expansion, for example, when there is a cell resource
shortage.

The RETSUBUNIT.TILT parameter is set to different values for different remote electrical
tilt (RET) subunits, allowing SSB to generate two beams on the vertical plane. The two beams
are used for the inner and outer cells, as shown in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1 SSB

If the PrbBalanceSw option of the CellAlgoSwitch.VmsSwitch parameter is selected, load


balancing between inner and outer cells is enabled. The CellVMS.VmsHoUeNumTh
parameter specifies the maximum number of UEs that can be handed over from a given cell
within 10s.

Issue 01 (2018-04-10) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 4


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
3D Beamforming (FDD) Feature Parameter Description 4 SSB

For load balancing, the eNodeB instructs UEs that have just accessed the inner or outer cell to
perform intra-frequency measurements when both of the following conditions are met:
l The downlink physical resource block (PRB) usage of the serving cell is greater than the
value of the CellVMS.VmsPrbLoadTh parameter.
l The downlink PRB usage of the serving cell minus that of a neighboring cell is greater
than the value of the CellVMS.VmsPrbDiffTh parameter.
The UEs selected for load balancing must meet both of the following conditions:
l The UE reports intra-frequency handover event A3, the offset for which is equal to
IntraFreqHoGroup.IntraFreqHoA3Offset minus CellVMS.VmsA3Offset. For the
definition of event A3, see Mobility Management in Connected Mode.
l The PRB usage of the UE is greater than 2%.

4.2 Network Analysis

4.2.1 Benefits
System capacity increases considerably in urban areas where there is contiguous coverage. In
a cell served by an eNodeB with a 2T2R 3-sector configuration, using SSB increases the
downlink cell traffic volume and average downlink UE throughput by 60%–100% when
LOFD-001003 DL 4x2 MIMO and LOFD-001005 UL 4-Antenna Receive Diversity are both
enabled.
The increases are closely related to cell loads, whether the cells using SSB provide contiguous
coverage, and UE distribution across inner and outer cells. The gains of SSB are higher if the
cell load is higher, cell coverage is more contiguous, and the percentage of UEs in each inner
cell is closer to 50%.
When the available bandwidth is less than 5 MHz, SSB works only at active ports on AAUs.
Smaller available bandwidths cause less accurate channel calibration and therefore fewer
gains produced by SSB.
It is recommended that SSB be used when all the following conditions are met, whereas DDB
be used when any of these conditions is not fulfilled:
l The inter-site distance is short (for example, less than 500 m).
l The busy-hour PRB usage is high (for example, above 50%).
l The penetration rate of UEs that support transmission mode 9 (TM9) is low (for
example, lower than 50%).
Downlink PRB usage = L.ChMeas.PRB.DL.Used.Avg/L.ChMeas.PRB.DL.Avail x 100%

4.2.2 Impacts

Network Impacts
l User-perceived downlink throughput
In cells served by an eNodeB with a 2T2R 3-sector configuration, using SSB may
decrease user-perceived throughput in idle periods (for example, when the PRB usage is
less than 20%) or when the inner- and outer-cell loads are imbalanced.
l Downlink peak data rate

Issue 01 (2018-04-10) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 5


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
3D Beamforming (FDD) Feature Parameter Description 4 SSB

In cells served by an eNodeB with a 2T2R 3-sector configuration, using SSB increases
the percentage of times rank 1 is reported and therefore a lower percentage of UEs that
achieve their peak data rates with downlink 2x2 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
enabled. In addition, channel correlation between antennas in cells generated by using
SSB is higher than in common 4T4R cells. As a result, UEs cannot reach their expected
peak data rates with downlink 4x4 MIMO enabled.
l Downlink coverage
On a network with non-contiguous coverage from cells generated by using SSB, if SSB
causes cell power to be lower than neighboring 2T2R cell power, the local cell coverage
shrinks.
l Other network performance indicators
In an eNodeB with a 2T2R 3-sector configuration, using SSB increases the number of
cells and decreases the SINR. Using SSB may result in a lower handover success rate,
more RRC connection reestablishments, and a higher service drop rate than the
performance indicators before SSB is used.

Boards
The baseband processing units (BBPs) must be UBBPe4 boards. Note that the two 4T4R cells
created by SSB are automatically set up on the same BBP, and they together account for a

Issue 01 (2018-04-10) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 10

eRAN
3D Beamforming (FDD) Feature Parameter Description 4 SSB

single unit of 8T8R cell capacity of the BBP. If the two 4T4R cells are manually bound to
different BBPs, the cells will fail to be set up. When there are 4T4R and 8T8R cells on a BBP,
the cell capacity of the BBP is consumed on a per 8T8R cell basis.

RF Modules
AAU3970s or AAU5972s must be used.
l AAU3970s contain both radio and antenna modules. Power supplies must be connected
to the AAUs, and the AAUs must be connected to the baseband units (BBUs) of
eNodeBs through common public radio interface (CPRI) optical cables. For details, see
AAU3970 Installation Guide.
l AAU5972s in the 1.8 GHz band contain both radio and antenna modules. Power supplies
must be connected to the AAUs, and the AAUs must be connected to the BBUs of
eNodeBs through CPRI optical cables. AAU5972s in other bands provide only antenna
modules. Therefore, they must be connected to external radio units. These AAUs supply
power to the radio units, which are then connected to BBUs through CPRI optical cables.
AISG cables do not need to be connected to the AAUs. For details about how to install
AAU5972s, see AAU5972 Installation Guide.
Typically, each eNodeB requires three AAUs, each of which will serve two cells (one inner
and one outer) for SSB. Each eNodeB will serve a total of six cells.
l When AAU3970s are used, the sum of the configured maximum power per channel for
each pair of inner and outer cells must be less than or equal to 30 W. Typically, inner and
outer cells are assigned the same power: 4 x 15 W. For example, CRS power is 13.9
dBm, PA is –3, and PB is 1.
l When AAU5972s are used, the configured power per channel for inner and outer cells
must meet the following requirements:
– For AAU5972s in the 1.8 GHz band, the configured power per channel for each of
the inner and outer cells must be less than or equal to 30 W. Typically, inner and
outer cells are assigned the same power: 4 x 30 W. The typical power configuration
for a 20 MHz cell is that CRS power is 16.9 dBm, PA is –3, and PB is 1.
– For AAU5972s in other bands, the configured power per channel for each of the
inner and outer cells must be less than or equal to 40 W. Typically, inner and outer
cells are assigned the same power: 4 x 40 W. The typical power configuration for a
20 MHz cell is that CRS power is 18.2 dBm, PA is –3, and PB is 1.

4.3.4 Networking
For each eNodeB, three cells will change to six cells on two layers, with each cell covering a
120-degree arc, as illustrated in Figure 4-2.

Figure 4-2 Network change

To adapt to this change, the following network configurations must be re-planned:

Issue 01 (2018-04-10) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 11


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
3D Beamforming (FDD) Feature Parameter Description 4 SSB

l Neighboring cells
The increase in the number of cells results in more neighbor relationships. The total
number of neighbor relationships for each cell may reach the maximum, requiring
adjustments to the existing neighbor relationships.
l Physical random access channel (PRACH) root sequence indexes and physical cell
identifiers (PCIs)
The increase in the number of cells causes PCIs to be reused a larger number of times.
PRACH root sequence indexes change and the distance between cells involved in the
reuse decreases. As a result, the probabilities of PRACH root sequence index conflicts
and PCI conflicts rise, calling for optimization of PRACH root sequence indexes and
PCIs.
l Angles between beams
It is recommended that the angle between the downtilts of the inner- and outer-cell
beams be 6 degrees. To enlarge the inner-cell coverage area, reduce the downtilt angle of
the inner-cell beam so that the angle between the beams decreases.
The re-planning of these configurations should also consider the reference signal (RS) power
per port before and after SSB is enabled:
l If the RS power remains stable, SSB has little impact on network planning because the
downtilt angle of each outer cell will be the same as that of each original cell by default.
Network planning will focus on PCIs, neighboring cells, and PRACH root sequence
indexes.
l If the RS power decreases, network planning and optimization should consider downtilt
angles, angles between beams, RS power, and the settings of PA and PB.

– The percentage of times rank 1 is reported (indicated by L.ChMeas.RI.Rank1) will


increase, resulting in a lower probability that any single UE will achieve the peak
data rate.
– The increase in the number of cells results in more cell edge areas and therefore
more handovers. The handover success rate may decrease, and the number of RRC
connection reestablishments and the service drop rate may rise.

3D Beamforming (FDD) Feature Parameter Description 5 DDB

5 DDB

5.1 Principles
DDB generates one or more 8T8R cells on an AAU. The cell bandwidth must be at least 5
MHz. In the uplink, 8-antenna receive diversity is available for all UEs in the cells. In the
downlink, the available functions vary depending on UE capabilities:
l For UEs that do not support downlink 8T in TM9, downlink 4x2 or 4x4 MIMO is
available.
l For UEs that support downlink 8T in TM9, single- or multi-user MIMO (SU-MIMO or
MU-MIMO) using downlink 8T in TM9 is available, depending on parameter settings.
SU-MIMO using downlink 8T in TM9 is available for these UEs if the TM9Switch
option of the CellAlgoSwitch.EnhMIMOSwitch parameter is selected and one of the
following conditions is met. CSI-RSs are sent from eight ports in such a case. If
TM9Switch is deselected or either of the following conditions is not fulfilled, downlink
4x2 or 4x4 MIMO can be used for these UEs.
– The TM4TM9AdaptiveSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.EnhMIMOSwitch
parameter is deselected.
– The TM4TM9AdaptiveSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.EnhMIMOSwitch
parameter is selected, and the percentage of the PRBs used for these UEs has
exceeded the value of the CellMimoParaCfg.PrbRatioThldForTm9SuMimo
parameter.
MU-MIMO using downlink 8T in TM9 is available for these UEs if the 8T_TM9_MU-
MIMO_SW option of the CellMimoParaCfg.MimoSwitch parameter is selected. UEs
engaged in 8T- and TM9-based SU-MIMO can be selected for MU-MIMO when both of
the following conditions are met:
– The modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index used for each of the UEs is larger
than the value of the CellMimoParaCfg.MuPairingMcsThldForTm9 parameter.
– The gains of MU-MIMO over SU-MIMO will exceed the value of the
CellMimoParaCfg.MuPairingGainThldForTm9 parameter.

5.2 Network Analysis

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
3D Beamforming (FDD) Feature Parameter Description 5 DDB

5.2.1 Benefits
System capacity increases considerably in urban areas where there is contiguous coverage. In
a cell served by an eNodeB with a 2T2R 3-sector configuration, DDB increases the average
downlink cell traffic volume and average downlink UE throughput by 70%–120%. These
figures are based on the assumption that there is a 100% penetration rate of UEs supporting
downlink 8T in TM9 and that LOFD-001003 DL 4x2 MIMO and LOFD-001005 UL 4-
Antenna Receive Diversity are both enabled.

The benefits are most noticeable when the following conditions are met:
l The 8T8R cells provide contiguous coverage.
l UEs are distributed evenly within the cells.
l There is a high percentage of large-packet services in the cells.
l Cell channel quality is stable.

This function is suitable for high-traffic scenarios in urban areas. It is recommended when the
penetration rate of TM9-capable UEs is high (for example, over 50%) or when the SSB
function is not suitable for use. You can use the following counter as a reference for the TM9-
capable UE penetration rate.

Counter ID Counter Name

1526732723 L.Traffic.User.TM9.Avg

Uplink 8-antenna receive diversity in 8T8R cells offers the following benefits over uplink 2-
antenna receive diversity.
Gains Impact Factor

The average uplink UE throughput increases For a single UE, the farther away it is from
by 10% to 70%. the cell center, the higher the gains are.
For a cell, the more UEs far away from the
eNodeB there are, the higher the gains.

5.2.2 Impacts

Network Impacts
Downlink SU-MIMO or MU-MIMO in TM9 takes effect when the DDB function is used. The
overhead for precoding matrix indication (PMI) reporting increases, and therefore the
following will occur:
l Interference on the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) increases.
l Interference on the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) increases.
l The residual block error rate (RBLER) of the PUSCH slightly increases, and therefore
the packet loss rate for voice users slightly increases.
l CPU usage increases. The service drop rate slightly rises when CPU usage is high.

Issue 01 (2018-04-10) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 21


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
3D Beamforming (FDD) Feature Parameter Description 5 DDB

l TM9-incapable UEs experience performance deterioration because of periodic CSI-RS


transmission in the cell when TM9 takes effect. The level of the deterioration is
dependent on the TM9-capable UE penetration rate and the CSI-RS period.

In addition, due to downlink MU-MIMO in TM9, more PDCCH symbols are used in the
downlink. As a result, the failure rate of uplink grant assignment over the PDCCH increases,
and the average uplink UE throughput may decrease by at most 5%.

The same is true for AAU5972s in the 1.8 GHz band. AAU5972s in other bands provide only
antenna modules. Therefore, they must be connected to external radio units, which are then
connected to BBUs through CPRI optical cables. These AAUs supply power to the external
radio units. For details about how to install AAU5972s, see AAU5972 Installation Guide.

In AAU3970s, the configured power per channel must not exceed 44.4 dBm. (The maximum
power configuration is 4 x 27.6 W. For example, CRS power is 16.6 dBm, PA is –3, and PB
is 1 for a 20 MHz cell.)

In AAU5972s, the maximum configured power per channel must meet the following
requirements:
l For AAU5972s in the 1.8 GHz band, the power must not exceed 47.7 dBm. (The
maximum power configuration is 4 x 60 W. For example, CRS power is 19.9 dBm, PA is
–3, and PB is 1 for a 20 MHz cell.)
l For AAU5972s in other bands, the power must not exceed 49 dBm. (The maximum
power configuration is 4 x 80 W. For example, CRS power is 21.2 dBm, PA is –3, and
PB is 1 for a 20 MHz cell.)
