Enhanced L2 Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Downlink Enhanced L2

HSPA+ features, such as downlink MIMO and downlink 64QAM, increase downlink rates
over the Uu interface. The original downlink L2 function cannot adapt to such high rates. To
prevent L2 from becoming the bottleneck of the network, 3GPP introduced enhancements to
downlink L2, including flexible PDU sizes at the RLC layer, and segmentation at the MAC
layer. This improves transmission efficiency over the Iub and Uu interfaces and increases the
cell-edge throughput and coverage radius.
Table 2-1 describes the requirements of downlink enhanced L2.
Table 2-1 Requirements of downlink enhanced L2

NE Requirement
CN None
RNC The RNC must support downlink enhanced L2.
NodeB The NodeB must support MAC-ehs.
UE UEs must support downlink enhanced L2.
Downlink enhanced L2, which was introduced in 3GPP Release 7, is supported from Huawei
RAN11.0 onwards.
2.2 Uplink Enhanced L2

Uplink enhanced L2 allows for flexibility in the size of PDUs at the RLC layer and
segmentation at the MAC layer over the Uu interface.
l When a UE is located at the cell edge, data is transmitted in a small-sized PDU, reducing
the bit error rate (BER) caused by power insufficiency and improving data transmission
efficiency.

WCDMA RAN
Enhanced L2 Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
l When a UE is located in the cell center, data is transmitted in a large-sized PDU,

accommodating high-speed data transmissions and increasing data transmission
efficiency. As a result, the effective throughput of the entire system is increased.
Table 2-2 describes the requirements of uplink enhanced L2.
Table 2-2 Requirements of uplink enhanced L2

NE Requirement
CN None
RNC l The RNC must:

– Support downlink enhanced L2.
NOTE
Uplink enhanced L2 requires downlink enhanced L2 to be active.
– Provide the bearer scheme for uplink enhanced L2.
– Upgrade the RLC function to support flexible PDU sizes.
l MAC-is, a new sublayer, is introduced to replace MAC-es.
NodeB MAC-i, A new sublayer, is introduced to replace MAC-e.
UE UEs must support uplink enhanced L2.
Uplink enhanced L2, which was introduced in 3GPP Release 8, is supported from Huawei
RAN12.0 onwards.

Description
This section describes the feature WRFD-010685 Downlink Enhanced L2 in more detail.

WCDMA RAN
3.1 Basic Principle

L2 initially used fixed RLC PDU sizes. The typical fixed sizes are 336 bits and 656 bits. They
cannot meet the high-speed transmission requirements for larger RLC PDU sizes or the edge
coverage requirements for smaller RLC PDU sizes. The reasons are as follows:
l A small fixed RLC PDU size and a limited RLC sending window size limit the
maximum transmission rate at the RLC layer.
Figure 3-1 shows a typical example, in which the maximum bit rate (MBR) at the RLC
layer is limited to 13.4 Mbit/s. This rate is lower than the peak rates achieved by
downlink 64QAM (21 Mbit/s) and downlink MIMO (28 Mbit/s).
Figure 3-1 MBR limited by a fixed PDU size
l A large fixed RLC PDU size limits the cell coverage because the RLC PDU cannot be
segmented at the RLC layer.
The enhancements to L2 in the downlink are as follows:
l Enhanced RLC entities support flexible RLC PDU sizes.
l A MAC entity is added, that is, the MAC-ehs, for data segmentation at the MAC layer
and for multiplexing the queues of different priorities
Figure 3-2 shows the basic principle of downlink enhanced L2.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 3-2 Basic principle of downlink enhanced L2
Supporting flexible RLC PDU sizes, the RLC layer will not segment higher-layer packets
with sizes that are smaller than the maximum RLC PDU size. The RLC layer can flexibly
adapt to variations in traffic volume and reduce the overhead of the RLC PDU header. The
Length Indicator field in an RLC PDU indicates the size of the PDU. This field may consist of
7 or 15 bits. 7 bits are used to transmit a small amount of data; 15 bits are used to transmit a
large amount of data. For details, see section 9.2.2.8 "Length Indicator (LI)" in 3GPP TS
25.322 V10.1.0.
After the RLC PDU reaches the MAC layer, the MAC-ehs in the NodeB determines whether
to segment this PDU into smaller PDUs based on radio conditions. When the channel
conditions of the UE are poor (for example, on the cell edge) and the Uu interface fails to
transmit an entire RLC PDU, the MAC-ehs can segment the RLC PDU into smaller PDUs for
transmission at lower rates to ensure service continuity.
There is one MAC-ehs entity in the NodeB for each cell. For details about the MAC-ehs
entity, see section 4.2.4.6 "MAC-ehs entity UTRAN Side" in 3GPP TS 25.321 V8.17.0.
If the function of supporting the special value of the HE field in the RLC header in AM mode
is enabled, the value 2 of the HE field indicates the end of an upper-layer service data unit
(SDU). This only occurs if the last byte of an RLC PDU of a traffic radio bearer (TRB) is at
the end of the upper-layer SDU. In this case, a second RLC PDU is not required, effectively
reducing the number of control PDUs and improving transmission efficiency over the Uu
interface. After this function takes effect, the value of the VS.RLC.AM.Rtx.Trf.PDU.
1(BSC6900,BSC6910) counter decreases.
3.2 Radio Bearer

The RNC determines whether to apply downlink enhanced L2 on a UE based on both the
radio bearer scheme and the capabilities of the cell and the UE.
Downlink enhanced L2 is not used for the signaling radio bearer (SRB) during the RRC
connection setup procedure. The SRB is reconfigured with downlink enhanced L2 if the SRB

WCDMA RAN
uses the HS-DSCH as the transport channel and downlink enhanced L2 is applied to the TRB.
Downlink enhanced L2 can be applied to the SRB even after the TRB is released.
During the service setup procedure, downlink enhanced L2 applies if the following conditions
are met:
l Downlink enhanced L2 is supported by both the network and the UE, and it is activated.
To activate downlink enhanced L2, select DL_L2ENHANCED under the
HspaPlusSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
l The service type is a PS streaming service or a PS BE service.
l The HS-DSCH transport channel is used in the downlink, and the E-DCH/DCH transport
channel is used in the uplink.
When downlink enhanced L2 is applied to a UE, the maximum size of downlink PDUs can be
specified by configuring the MacPduMaxSizeForDlL2Enhance(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter.

This section describes the feature WRFD-010695 UL Layer 2 Improvement in more detail.

WCDMA RAN
4.1 Basic Principle

In RAN11.0 or earlier versions, the uplink RLC operates in fixed PDU mode only. In this
mode, a PDU's size never changes. Large fixed-size PDUs support higher rates but lead to
power insufficiency on the cell edge. Small fixed-size PDUs improve network coverage but
cause transmission efficiency to deteriorate owning to excessive encapsulation overheads. To
solve the problems caused by fixed-size PDUs, uplink enhanced L2 was introduced in
RAN12.0.
Figure 4-1 Basic principles of uplink enhanced L2
The basic principle of uplink enhanced L2, as shown in Figure 4-1, is described as follows:
l The RLC supports flexible AM/UM RLC PDU sizes, satisfying requirements for high-
speed data transmission and improving transmission efficiency.
l The MAC-i/is is used at the MAC layer. The MAC-i/is supports data segmentation and
concatenation at the MAC layer. It can also select an appropriate size for the PDU based
on the air interface quality, increasing the network coverage on the cell edge.
NOTE
The UE cannot use the MAC-i/is and MAC-e/es simultaneously.
4.2 Radio Bearer

The RNC determines whether to apply uplink enhanced L2 on a UE based on both the radio
bearer scheme and the capabilities of the cell and the UE.
During the RRC connection setup procedure, uplink enhanced L2 is not used for the SRB. If
uplink enhanced L2 is used for the TRB, it needs to be reconfigured for the SRB. Uplink
enhanced L2 is applied to the SRB even after the TRB is released.
During the service setup procedure, uplink enhanced L2 applies if the following conditions
are met:
l Uplink enhanced L2 is supported by both the network and the UE, and it is activated.
To activate uplink enhanced L2, select UL_L2ENHANCED under the
HspaPlusSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.

WCDMA RAN
l The service type is CS service over HSPA, PS voice service, PS streaming service, or PS
BE service.
l All the links in the active set of the E-DCH support uplink enhanced L2.
l The E-DCH transport channel is used in the uplink.
l The ULL2PLUS parameter on the NodeB side is set to TRUE.
When uplink enhanced L2 is applied to a UE, the maximum and minimum sizes of uplink
PDUs can be specified by configuring the following RNC parameters respectively:
l RlcPduMaxSizeForUlL2Enhance(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l RlcPduMinSizeForUlL2Enhance(BSC6900,BSC6910)
The data in the RLC buffer can be sent even if the amount of data is smaller than the
minimum size.

System Capacity
This feature improves downlink capacity.
Network Performance
This feature increases the downlink peak rate of UEs.
After enhanced L2 is enabled, the header overheads at the RLC layer decrease when small-
packet data is transmitted, thereby reducing the data volume at the MAC layer. As a result,
UE throughput and cell throughput are slightly reduced. However, the RLC-layer rate and
user experience are not affected.

l Another feature (such as DC-HSUPA) that is dependent on this feature and used to
achieve a certain peak rate (for example, 11.5 Mbit/s) is to be activated.
The ADD UTYPRABHSUPAPC or MOD UTYPRABHSUPAPC command can be used to
specify the reference power offset. The parameters involved are as follows:
l EtfciTabIdx(BSC6900,BSC6910): index of the E-DCH Transport Format Combination
Indicator (E-TFCI) table
l RefEtfciNum(BSC6900,BSC6910): number of reference E-TFCIs
l RefEtfciIdxn: index of the PDU size used by a reference E-TFCI in the E-TFCI table (n
ranges from 1 to 8; RefEtfciIdxn can be RefEtfciIdx1(BSC6900,BSC6910) to
RefEtfciIdx8(BSC6900,BSC6910).)
l RefEtfciPOn: index of reference E-TFCI power offset (n ranges from 1 to 8;
RefEtfciPOn can be RefEtfciPO1(BSC6900,BSC6910) to
RefEtfciPO8(BSC6900,BSC6910).)

WCDMA RAN
l ERgch3IndStpThs(BSC6900,BSC6910): E-RGCH 3-index-step threshold

l ERgch2IndStpThs(BSC6900,BSC6910): E-RGCH 2-index-step threshold
For the previously mentioned scenarios, it is good practice to set the parameters as follows:
l If neither the UL 16QAM feature nor the E-DPCCH Boosting feature is supported, set
parameters related to reference power offset as follows:
EtfciTabIdx=0, REFETFCINUM=D8, REFETFCIIDX1=1, REFETFCIIDX2=10,
REFETFCIIDX3=122, REFETFCIIDX4=123, REFETFCIIDX5=124,

REFETFCIPO7=PO_106/15, REFETFCIPO8=PO_119/15, ERgch3IndStpThs=16,
ERgch2IndStpThs=20;
l If the UL 16QAM feature is supported but the E-DPCCH Boosting feature is not, set
EtfciTabIdx=2,RefEtfciNum=D4, RefEtfciIdx1=1, RefEtfciIdx2=95, RefEtfciIdx3=115,

RefEtfciPO3=PO_38/15, RefEtfciPO4=PO_168/15, ERgch3IndStpThs=7,
ERgch2IndStpThs=11;
l If the UL 16QAM feature is not supported but the E-DPCCH Boosting feature is
supported, set parameters related to reference power offset as follows:
EtfciTabIdx=0, REFETFCINUM=D8, REFETFCIIDX1=1, REFETFCIIDX2=10,
REFETFCIPO7=PO_106/15, REFETFCIPO8=PO_119/15, ERgch3IndStpThs=16,
ERgch2IndStpThs=20;
l If both the UL 16QAM feature and the E-DPCCH Boosting feature are supported, set

7.2.2.3 Activation
Step 1 (Optional) Run the RNC MML command SET UFRC and set parameters as follows:
l Set parameters related to UL Layer 2 Improvement at the RNC level based on the
network plan. In this step, set Cell_DCH UL L2 enhance max RLC PDU size and
Cell_DCH UL L2 enhance min RLC PDU size to appropriate values. Some UEs do
not support 15-bit "Length Indicator". Therefore, it is recommended that Cell_DCH UL
L2 enhance max RLC PDU size be set to 122.

WCDMA RAN
NOTE
If the RNC includes 15-bit "Length Indicator" in air interface messages sent to UEs, the RNC
parses RLC PDUs based on 15-bit "Length Indicator." However, some UEs send RLC PDUs
including 7-bit "Length Indicator". Consequently, the RNC fails to receive data from the UEs,
leading to TRB resets.
l Select UL_L2_ENHANCE under the HSPA Technologies Retried by UEs parameter
to enable periodic DRD for UL Layer 2 Improvement.
NOTE
Before enabling periodic DRD for UL Layer 2 Improvement, enable periodic DRD for all the other
features on which UL Layer 2 Improvement depends. That is, select DL_L2_ENHANCE under the
HSPA Technologies Retried by UEs parameter.
Step 2 Run the RNC MML command MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH to enable UL Layer 2
Improvement at the cell level. In this step, select UL_L2ENHANCED under the Cell Hspa
Plus function switch parameter.
Step 3 Enable UL Layer 2 Improvement for a cell on the NodeB side.

l Run the MML command MOD ULOCELL with UL L2 Enhanced set to TRUE.
