3.1 Deployment of Common Transmission Data

3.1.1 Principles
IPv4 Transmission
Deploying common transmission data is to set up the transmission path of the
bottom layers. Common transmission data includes data at the physical layer, data
link layer, and network layer.
● Physical layer data
Information about the cabinet, subrack, and slot housing transmission ports,
optical/electrical port attribute, transmission rate, and duplex mode, which are
determined based on the operator's network plan
● Data link layer data
– Information about the MAC layer of the Ethernet, which includes flow
control frames and ARP proxies of ports
– VLAN ID and VLAN priority of each service flow of an eNodeB, which are
determined based on the operator's network plan
● Network layer data
– IP address information about the local eNodeB, including interface IP
addresses and logical IP addresses
– IP addresses for the O&M channel, IPsec tunnel, S1-C, S1-U, X2-C, X2-U,
eX2-C (LTE FDD), eX2-U (LTE FDD), and IP clock links, which are
configured based on the operator's network plan
– Information about routes from the local eNodeB to the destination IP
addresses of the peer NEs (such as the MME, S-GW, neighboring eNodeB,
MAE-Access, and IP clock), which is required when there are routers
between the eNodeB and peer NEs

eRAN
IP eRAN Engineering Guide Feature Parameter
Description 3 Interface Engineering Guidelines

IPv6 Transmission
The differences between IPv6 transmission and IPv4 transmission lie in the data at
the data link layer and network layer.

● Data link layer data


– In IPv6 networking, the information about the MAC layer of the Ethernet
contains the flow control frames over the ports. The ARP protocol is not
used. The ARP function is replaced by the neighbor discovery function.
– You are advised to plan an independent VLAN ID for the O&M channel
and isolate it from VLANs of other services.
● Network layer data
– Similar to IPv4 transmission, IPv6 transmission requires the local IPv6
addresses of IPv6 services on the eNodeB, including the interface IP
addresses and logical IP addresses, and also requires the IPv6 addresses
and IPv6 routes of the peer devices used for IPv6 transmission.
– In IPv6 transmission, the MTU of the backhaul network must be
collected. It is recommended that the interface MTU of the base station
be set to the minimum MTU on all backhaul networks of the interface.
Ensure that all the routers support the sending of ICMPv6 Packet Too Big
messages and the network firewall allows the packets to pass through.

IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack Transmission


Information about IPv4 and IPv6 transmission is required for this type of
transmission.

VLAN configurations for IPv4 and IPv6 transmission are correlated and must be set
as follows:

● IPv6 and dual-stack transmission support only the new model. In dual-stack
transmission, the VLANs for both IPv4 and IPv6 transmission must be
configured in the interface VLAN configuration mode. IPv4 transmission
cannot use the single VLAN or VLAN group configuration mode.

RF Modules
None

3.1.3.4 Networking

IPv4 Transmission
The eNodeB side has different service interfaces, including the S1-C, S1-U, X2-C,
X2-U, eX2-C (LTE FDD), eX2-U (LTE FDD), IP clock links, and the O&M channel.
These service interfaces can have identical or different IP addresses. eNodeB IP
addresses need to be planned based on the use of IP addresses for service
interfaces.
The eNodeB uses route forwarding in panel cascading scenarios. An interface IP
address must be configured for the cascading interface, which serves as the next-
hop IP address of the next-hop leaf node.

eRAN
IP eRAN Engineering Guide Feature Parameter
Description 3 Interface Engineering Guidelines

Transmission reliability needs to be considered during network planning. Planning


multiple physical links or more IP addresses and routes for the eNodeB can
improve transmission reliability. Before using a specific transmission maintenance
and detection feature, ensure that devices on the transport network support this
feature.

In addition to routes of the MME, S-GW, MAE-Access, and neighboring eNodeB,


consider the following during IP route planning:

● If an IP clock server is used, a corresponding route must be planned.


● If the SeGW, PKI, FTP server, or NTP server is used, a corresponding route
must be planned. If multiple devices are in the same network segment, the
route can be a network segment route. This means that an independent route
is not required for each device.
● If an IPsec tunnel is enabled, the interface IP address functions as the external
IP address of the IPsec tunnel and the loopback IP address functions as the
internal IP address of the IPsec tunnel.
● Source-based IPv6 routing must be deployed on the same board.
● If the X2 interface uses layer 2 networking and does not support source-based
routing on the base station but the S1 interface uses layer 3 networking and
requires source-based routing on the base station, two IP addresses must be
configured for the X2 and S1 interfaces, respectively, on the base station.
● Whether to use source-based or destination-based IP routing must be
planned.
– For details about the application scenarios of source-based IP routing, see
IPv4 Transmission. Destination-based IP routing is used by default.
– A maximum of 32 source IP routes can be configured.
If an eNodeB requires more than 32 IP routes, you are advised to
configure only destination-based IP routes for the eNodeB.
– Destination-based IP routing and source-based IP routing are mutually
exclusive.
The user plane and control plane of the base station must adopt the
same routing policy.
The active and standby routes must adopt the same routing policy. The
priority of destination-based IP routing is lower than that of source-based
IP routing.

IPv6 Transmission
● The IP addresses and routes in IPv4 Transmission are changed to IPv6
addresses and IPv6 routes, respectively. IPv6 routes support source-based and
destination-based IP routing.
● Whether to use source-based or destination-based IP routing on the base
station side must be planned.
– For details about the application scenarios of source-based IP routing, see
IPv6 Transmission. Destination-based IP routing is used by default.
– A maximum of 32 source IP routes can be configured.
If an eNodeB requires more than 32 IP routes, you are advised to
configure only destination-based IP routes for the eNodeB.

eRAN
IP eRAN Engineering Guide Feature Parameter
Description 3 Interface Engineering Guidelines

– Destination-based IP routing and source-based IP routing are mutually


exclusive.
The routing policies must be consistent between the user plane and
control plane
The active and standby routes must adopt the same routing policy.
● In IPv6 transmission, the main control board of the local BBU can provide a
port for connecting to the IPv6 transport network, and co-transmission
through panel interconnection and cascading networking are supported.
However, IPv6 co-transmission through backplane interconnection is not
supported.
● IPv6 transmission and dual-stack transmission support only the new
transmission model.
● IPv6 transmission has been deployed on the transport network, and IPv6
transmission routes have been configured between the base station and the
peer device.
● In layer 2 or layer 2+layer 3 networking, the layer 2 switch must support the
transmission of all multicast packets or support MLD snooping, support
addition of IPv6 solicited-node multicast addresses, perform IPv6 address
conflict detection, and transmit IPv6 address resolution multicast packets.
● The IPv6 extension header is optional and used for specific functions. The
eNodeB can only receive or send the following IPv6 extension headers. The
IPv6 packets sent by the peer device (router, core network, base station, or
clock server) must not carry extension headers except for the following ones.
Otherwise, the packets will be discarded by the base station.
– Fragment header: This header is used for packet fragmentation.
– AH and ESP: supporting encryption
– HOP by HOP: This header can be carried only in packets compliant with
the MLD snooping discovery protocol.
● The MTUs of IPv6 transmission links must be centrally planned.
– During IPv6 transmission, the router discards the packets whose MTU size
is larger than its MTU. E2E MTU planning is required.
– For the transmission link of the O&M channel, the MTU of the bearer
network device must be greater than or equal to 1500 bytes. The default
MTU on the MAE-Access side is 1500 bytes. It is recommended that an
independent VLAN interface be planned for the O&M channel on the
base station side and the MTU be set to 1500 bytes. This ensures that
packets less than or equal to 1500 bytes can be transmitted in the E2E
O&M link.
– For the transmission links of other service interfaces, a unified MTU value
is planned based on the capability of the devices on the E2E transmission
link, including the base station, router, and peer device. The MTU value
can equal the minimum among the maximum MTU values of these
devices to improve the transmission efficiency of service packets.
– In secure networking, the MTUs of the SeGW and the routers between
the SeGW and base station are the above MTU value plus the length of
the IPsec encryption header.
● An X2 interface cannot be set up between an IPv4 single-stack transmission
base station and an IPv6 transmission base station. X2 dual-stack must be

configured for base stations in the border area. The bearer network must
support dual-stack transmission, as shown in Figure 1 X2 dual-stack.

Figure 3-1 X2 dual-stack

IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack Transmission


● IPv4 and IPv6 transmission use independent IP addresses and routes at the IP
layer. To implement IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack transmission, the IP layer must
include IPv4 addresses and IPv6 routes. For detailed configuration
requirements, see IPv6 Transmission.
● IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack transmission has been deployed on the transport bearer
network, and IPv4/IPv6 transmission routes have been configured for the
transmission link between the base station and the peer device.
● For details about the requirements for IPv6 transmission, see IPv6
Transmission. For details about the requirements for IPv4 transmission, see
IPv4 Transmission.

3.1.3.5 Others
If dual-stack networking is required for core network devices, all base stations
connected to the core network must be upgraded to SRAN15.1, and then dual-
stack data can be configured on the core network. Base stations earlier than
SRAN15.1 do not support the processing of signaling that carries dual-stack IP
addresses.

The verification procedure is as follows:

Step 1 Run the DSP ETHPORT command to query the status of an Ethernet port.

Expected result:

● The values of Port Status and Physical Layer Status are UP, indicating that
the physical port is successfully activated.
● The values of Local Speed and Peer Speed are the same.
● The values of Local Duplex and Peer Duplex are the same.

Step 2 Run the DSP DEVIP (in the old model)/DSP IPADDR4 (in the new model)
command to check whether DEVIP (old model)/IPADDR4 (new model) takes
effect.

Expected result: The configured IP address takes effect.

Step 3 (Optional) Run the DSP IPRT (in the old model)/DSP IPROUTE4 (in the new
model) command to check the route status.

Expected result: The value of Valid State of IP Route is Valid, indicating that the
route takes effect.

Step 4 (Optional) Run the DSP SRCIPRT (in the old model)/DSP SRCIPROUTE4 (in the
new model) command to check the route status.

Expected result: The value of Valid State of IP Route is Valid, indicating that the
route takes effect.

Step 5 Run the PING command to ping the peer IP address, with the local IP address set
to the corresponding IP address specified in the DEVIP (in the old model)/
IPADDR4 (in the new model) MO.

Expected result: The peer IP address is pinged successfully, indicating that the
route and IP address specified in the DEVIP (in the old model)/IPADDR4 (in the
new model) MO have taken effect.

eRAN
IP eRAN Engineering Guide Feature Parameter
Description 3 Interface Engineering Guidelines

3.2.1 Principles

IPv4 Transmission
For IPv4 transmission, an S1 interface can be set up in either of the following
modes:

● Link configuration mode: The IPPATH, ENODEBPATH, SCTPLNK, CPBEARER,


and S1INTERFACE MOs are to be configured.
● Endpoint configuration mode: An S1 interface is automatically set up after the
following data is configured: S1, EPGROUP, SCTPTEMPLATE, SCTPHOST,
SCTPPEER, USERPLANEHOST, and USERPLANEPEER. Endpoint configuration
mode is recommended.

When configuring the S1 interface in link configuration mode, collect the


following information according to operators' network plan: local IP addresses of
the S1-C and S1-U interfaces of the eNodeB, local port number, peer IP address,
and peer port number. Information, including settings of SCTP negotiation- and
detection-related parameters in SCTPLNK MOs, the operators owning the S1
interfaces, and the versions of connected MMEs, must be collected.

For IPv4 transmission, this document describes only S1 interface setup in link
configuration mode. For details about S1 interface setup in endpoint configuration
mode, see S1 and X2 Self-Management.

IPv6 Transmission or IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack Transmission


For IPv6 transmission, an S1 interface can be set up only in endpoint mode. To
automatically set up an S1 interface, the following MOs must be configured: S1,
EPGROUP, SCTPTEMPLATE, SCTPHOST, SCTPPEER, USERPLANEHOST, and
USERPLANEPEER.

For how to configure S1 interfaces in endpoint mode for IPv6 transmission or IPv4/
IPv6 dual-stack transmission, see S1 and X2 Self-Management.

3.2.2 Network Analysis

3.2.2.1 Benefits
None

3.2.2.2 Impacts

Network Impacts
The length of a basic IPv6 packet header is 40 bytes, which is longer than that of
a basic IPv4 packet header (20 bytes). Therefore, the transmission efficiency of an
IPv6 network is slightly lower than that of an IPv4 network. For example, the
length of an IPv4 packet is 800 bytes and the length of an IPv6 packet is 820
bytes. The IPv6 transmission efficiency is 2.5% lower than IPv4 transmission
efficiency.

NOTE

The Delay (ms) values presented in Table 3-1 are one-way delays meeting basic
transmission requirements. If a feature has special delay requirements, the special delay
must be shorter than the one-way delay. For details about any special delay requirements,
see the corresponding feature parameter description.
In Table 3-1, the Best scenario ensures the QoS of all services and the Recommended
scenario ensures the QoS of services with a QCI of 1, 2, 3, or 7. The Tolerable scenario
ensures establishment of services, but does not ensure the QoS of QCI-specific services
whose QoS requirements are beyond the QoS specifications for the corresponding QCI.
● Transmission networking planning
eNodeBs support star, chain, and tree topologies on IP networks, as shown in
Figure 3-2, Figure 3-3, and Figure 3-4.

Chain Applicable to sparsely populated belt-shaped areas, such as


topology areas along expressways and railways

Tree Applicable to areas with complicated network architecture,


topology site distribution, and UE distribution, for example, hotspots
where UEs are widely distributed

An eNodeB communicates with an MME or S-GW through an S1 interface


and with another eNodeB through an X2 or eX2 interface. For interface
specifications, see S1 and X2 Self-Management and eX2 Self-Management.
● IP address planning
During the planning of IP addresses for an eNodeB, O&M, S1-C, and S1-U IP
addresses can be identical or different. The following principles are used for
determining whether IP addresses are identically configured:
– If O&M channels, S1-C interfaces, and S1-U interfaces need to be isolated
by IP addresses, plan different IP addresses.
– If O&M channels, S1-C interfaces, and S1-U interfaces do not need to be
isolated by IP addresses, plan identical IP addresses.
The IP address of an IP clock must be a port IP address (Ethernet port IP
address or Ethernet trunk IP address) if the IP clock link complies with the
Huawei proprietary protocol, and can be a port IP address or a logical IP
address (loopback interface IP address) if the IP clock link complies with the
IEEE 1588V2 protocol.

3.3 Deployment of an X2 Interface

3.3.1 Principles
IPv4 Transmission
For IPv4 transmission, an X2 interface can be set up in either of the following
modes:
● Link configuration mode: The IPPATH, ENODEBPATH, SCTPLNK, CPBEARER,
and X2INTERFACE MOs must be configured.
● Endpoint configuration mode: An X2 interface is automatically set up after the
following data is configured: X2, EPGROUP, SCTPTEMPLATE, SCTPHOST,
SCTPPEER, USERPLANEHOST, and USPERPLANEPEER. Endpoint
configuration mode is recommended.
If an eNodeB is configured with X2 interfaces in link configuration mode, local IP
addresses, local port numbers, peer IP addresses, and peer port numbers of X2-C
and X2-U interfaces must be collected based on operators' network plan.

Issue 02 (2022-04-27) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 70


eRAN
IP eRAN Engineering Guide Feature Parameter
Description 3 Interface Engineering Guidelines

Information, including settings of SCTP negotiation- and detection-related


parameters in SCTPLNK MOs, the homing operators of the X2 interfaces, and the
versions of connected neighboring eNodeBs, must be collected.

For IPv4 transmission, this document describes only X2 interface setup in link
configuration mode. For details about X2 interface setup in endpoint configuration
mode, see S1 and X2 Self-Management.

IPv6 Transmission or IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack Transmission


For IPv6 transmission, an X2 interface can be set up only in endpoint mode. To
automatically set up an X2 interface, the following MOs must be configured: X2,
EPGROUP, SCTPTEMPLATE, SCTPHOST, SCTPPEER, USERPLANEHOST, and
USERPLANEPEER.

For how to configure X2 interfaces in endpoint mode for IPv6 transmission, see S1
and X2 Self-Management.

3.3.2 Network Analysis

3.3.2.1 Benefits
None

3.3.2.2 Impacts

Network Impacts
The length of a basic IPv6 packet header is 40 bytes, which is longer than that of
a basic IPv4 packet header (20 bytes). Therefore, the transmission efficiency of an
IPv6 network is slightly lower than that of an IPv4 network. For example, the
length of an IPv4 packet is 800 bytes and the length of an IPv6 packet is 820
bytes. The IPv6 transmission efficiency is 2.5% lower than IPv4 transmission
efficiency.

NOTE

The Delay (ms) values presented in Table 3-3 are one-way delays meeting basic
transmission requirements. If a feature has special delay requirements, the special delay
must be shorter than the one-way delay. For details about any special delay requirements,
see the corresponding feature parameter description.
In Table 3-3, the Best scenario ensures the QoS of all services and the Recommended
scenario ensures the QoS of services with a QCI of 1, 2, 3, or 7. The Tolerable scenario
ensures establishment of services, but does not ensure the QoS of QCI-specific services
whose QoS requirements are beyond the QoS specifications for the corresponding QCI.

During IP address planning for an eNodeB, the O&M channel, X2-C interface, and
X2-U interface can have identical or different IP addresses. The following principles
are used for determining whether IP addresses are identically configured:
1. If the O&M channel, X2-C interface, and X2-U interface are to be isolated by
IP addresses, plan different IP addresses.
2. If the O&M channel, X2-C interface, and X2-U interface are not to be isolated
by IP addresses, use identical IP addresses.
The IP address of an IP clock must be a port IP address (Ethernet port IP address
or Ethernet trunk IP address) if the IP clock link complies with the Huawei
proprietary protocol, and can be a port IP address or a logical IP address
(loopback interface IP address) if the IP clock link complies with the IEEE 1588V2
protocol.

For details about eX2 interface deployment, see eX2 Self-Management.

3.5 Deployment of O&M Channels

3.5.1 Principles
Operators can remotely maintain an eNodeB using the O&M channel. The OMCH
MO must be configured because it defines routine O&M information for operators
to maintain an eNodeB using the O&M channel.

IPv4 Transmission
Operators can configure the OMCH MO in route-binding mode or route-
unbinding mode.

Issue 02 (2022-04-27) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 76


eRAN
IP eRAN Engineering Guide Feature Parameter
Description 3 Interface Engineering Guidelines

● In route-binding mode, users need to bind a route specified by the IPRT (old
model)/IPROUTE4 (new model) MO to an O&M channel. In the OMCH MO,
set OMCH.BRT to YES and set OMCH.RTIDX to the index of the route to be
bound.
● In route-unbinding mode, a route for the O&M channel is specified by adding
an IPRT (old model)/IPROUTE4 (new model) MO and the route does not
need to be bound to the O&M channel.

If there is only one O&M channel, a route can be configured by adding an IPRT
(old model)/IPROUTE4 (new model) MO. Alternatively, the route can be
configured by performing the following operations: adding an IPRT (old model)/
IPROUTE4 (new model) MO, binding the route in the OMCH MO, and entering
the index of the route. In route-binding mode, the route bound to an invalid O&M
channel does not take effect. Therefore, ensure that the route bound to the O&M
channel forwards only the service flows in the O&M channel. Otherwise, when the
O&M channel does not take effect, the route bound to the O&M channel does not
take effect, affecting forwarding of other service flows.

If there are active and standby O&M channels, only one IP address of the MAE-
Access is available for the eNodeB and the routes of the two O&M channels can
be added in route-binding mode. Different routes must be bound to the two
channels. When the active O&M channel takes effect, only the route bound to the
active O&M channel takes effect. When the standby O&M channel takes effect,
only the route bound to the standby O&M channel takes effect.

IPv6 Transmission
In IPv6 transmission scenarios, the OMCH.BEAR parameter in the OMCH MO
must be set to IPV6.

You are advised to plan an independent local IPv6 address (specified by the
OMCH.IP6 parameter) and an IPv6 route for the O&M channel.

The information of the O&M channel, including the O&M channel IP addresses of
the eNodeB and MAE-Access, and the route corresponding to the O&M channel
must be collected based on the operator's network plan.

3.5.3.4 Networking
The O&M channel can share an IP address with another interface or use a
separate IP address. The routes from the base station to the MAE-Access must be
planned.

eRAN
IP eRAN Engineering Guide Feature Parameter
Description 3 Interface Engineering Guidelines

For IPv6 transmission:


● The transmission bearer network must support IPv6. IPv6 routes must be
planned between the base station and the MAE-Access.
● IPv6 addresses need to be planned on the MAE-Access for IPv6-based
communication between the base station and the MAE-Access. These IPv6
addresses include the IPv6 address of the O&M channel, and IPv6 addresses
of the upper-layer application services, such as IPv6 addresses of the FTP
server and NTP server.
● If some O&M channels of the base station connected to the MAE-Access are
used for both IPv4 and IPv6 transmission, both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses must
be planned on the MAE-Access to manage both IPv4 and IPv6 transmission.

3.5.3.5 Others
For IPv6 transmission, an O&M channel can be set up only if the base station IP
address on the MAE-Access is the same as the local IPv6 address in the OMCH
MO.

3.5.4 Operation and Maintenance (IPv4 Transmission)

3.5.4.1 Data Configuration

3.5.4.1.1 Data Preparation


O&M channels can be deployed after the common data is configured.
If the MAE-Access serves as an NTP server, a separate route to the NTP server is
not required. If a standalone NTP server is deployed but no route (neither the
default route nor network segment routes) reaches this NTP server, a route to this
NTP server must be configured. The configuration of the route to an FTP server
and an NTP server is the same.
The following table describes the parameters that must be set in an OMCH MO to
configure an O&M channel.

Paramete Parameter ID Setting Notes

Standby OMCH.FLAG This parameter specifies whether the O&M channel


Status is an active or standby O&M channel. Set this
parameter to MASTER. If an O&M channel needs

r Name

Local IP OMCH.IP This parameter specifies the local IP address of the


O&M channel. Set this parameter based on the
network plan.
The local IP address (specified by the IP parameter
in the OMCH MO) of the O&M channel can be
configured using either of the following methods:
1. Set the IP parameter in the OMCH MO. A
DEVIP (old model)/IPADDR4 (new model) MO
does not need to be configured.
2. Set the DEVIP (old model)/IPADDR4 (new
model) MO. Then, associate this parameter with
the IP parameter in the DEVIP (old model)/
IPADDR4 (new model) MO. This method can be
used when the IP address of the O&M channel
must be an interface IP address.
In both configuration methods, ensure that the
route between the local IP address (specified by
the IP parameter in the OMCH MO) of the O&M
channel and the MAE-Access is reachable.
In non-IPsec scenarios, the port where the local IP
address is configured is an Ethernet port. In IPsec
scenarios, the port where the local IP address is
configured is a loopback interface and this IP
address is used for communication inside the IPsec
tunnel.

Local OMCH.MASK This parameter specifies the local subnet mask of


Mask an O&M channel. Set this parameter based on the
network plan.

Peer IP OMCH.PEERI This parameter specifies the peer IP address of the


P O&M channel, that is, the IP address of the MAE-
Access. Set this parameter based on the network
plan.

Peer OMCH.PEER This parameter specifies the subnet mask of the


Mask MASK peer IP address of the O&M channel. Set this
parameter based on the network plan.

Route to the O&M channel. Set this parameter based on
the network plan.
● If this parameter is set to YES, the eNodeB
automatically adds a route for the O&M
channel based on the configuration of the O&M
channel.
● If this parameter is set to NO, a route must be
manually added for the O&M channel when the
network segment of the IP address, which is
specified in the DEVIP (old model)/IPADDR4
(new model) MO, is different from and does not
cover that of the peer IP address of the O&M
channel.

Route OMCH.RTIDX This parameter specifies the index of the master


Index route bound to the O&M channel, that is, the index
of the route to the master MAE-Access. Set this
parameter based on the network plan.

Binding OMCH.BINDS This parameter specifies whether to bind a slave


Secondar ECONDARYR route to the O&M channel. This route is the one to
y Route T the slave MAE-Access. Set this parameter based on
the network plan.

Secondar OMCH.SECO This parameter specifies the index of the slave


y Route NDARYRTIDX route bound to the O&M channel, that is, the index
Index of the route to the slave MAE-Access. Set this
parameter based on the network plan.

Reliability

4.1 Ethernet Route Backup for the Base Station

4.1.1 Principles
This function is recommended when a base station is connected to layer 3 routers
that provide active/standby gateways.

If active and standby IPv4 routes are configured, BFD is enabled to detect the link
status between the base station and active and standby gateway routers, and the
BFD status is associated with the base station's route status. In this way, route
switchovers can be triggered when needed. For details about the license
controlling the BFD function, see 5.1.3.1 Licenses.

IPv6 active and standby routes can be switched based on the status of the bound
IPv6 BFD session or the physical port.

Boards
In IPv4 transmission, the UMPT board supports this function.

In IPv6 transmission, the UMPT board supports this function.

RF Modules
This function does not depend on RF modules.

4.1.3.4 Networking
One physical port of the base station or two physical ports on the same board
connect, through a layer 2 network, to the router that supports active/standby
gateways.

The base station supports source-based and destination-based routing. For details
about the route policy and application scenarios, see IPv4 Transmission and IPv6
Transmission.
If active and standby IPv4 routes are configured, BFD is enabled to detect the link
status between the base station and active and standby gateway routers, and the
BFD status is associated with the base station's route status. In this way, route
switchovers can be triggered when needed.

IPv6 active and standby routes can be switched based on the status of the bound
IPv6 BFD session or the physical port.

The active and standby IP routes can be configured only on the same board.

4.1.3.5 Others
A standby route to the base station is configured on both the active and standby
gateways. Even if the active route is faulty, the gateway router can send packets to
the base station through the standby route.

This section describes activation verification of Ethernet route backup for the
eNodeB and co-MPT base station.

IP route backup is flexible to implement and verify. For two IP routes with the
same destination IP address but different priorities and next-hop IP addresses,
data is transmitted on the IP route with a higher priority if both of the IP routes

Description 4 Engineering Guidelines for Transmission Reliability

are functional. When the IP route with a higher priority becomes faulty, the other
IP route takes over to perform data transmission.

Before the verification, ensure that both the active and standby IP routes are
functional. You can run the DSP IPRT (old model)/IPROUTE4 (new model)
command to check whether both the active and standby IP routes are in the
routing table. If both are in the routing table, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Run the TRACERT command to check the active route. In the command output,
the route with the first-hop IP address being the next-hop IP address is the active
route.

Step 2 Trigger a fault in the active route, and run the DSP IPRT (old model)/DSP
IPROUTE4 (new model) command to check that the value of Valid State of IP
Route of the active route is Invalid.

Step 3 Ensure that route switchover is completed. Specifically, run the TRACERT
command. The switchover is successful if the first hop IP address is the next hop IP
address of the standby IP route.

Step 4 Restore the higher-priority link in the IPRT (old model)/IPROUTE4 (new model)
MO.

----End

4.1.4.4 Activation Verification (IPv6)


This section describes activation observation of Ethernet route backup for the base
station.

The verification method is to trigger a route fault and check whether services can
be switched to the other route. If the two IP routes are both functional, data is
transmitted on the IP route with the higher priority.

Ensure that the active and standby IP routes are normal before verifying the IP
route backup function. You can run the DSP IPROUTE6 command (when active
and standby IP routes adopt destination-based IP routing) or the SRCIPROUTE6
command (when active and standby IP routes adopt source-based IP routing) to
check whether both the active and standby IP routes are in the current routing
and forwarding table. If both are in the table, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Check the active route. Run the TRACERT6 command to check the active route. In
the command output, the route with the first-hop IP address being the next-hop
IP address is the active route.

Step 2 Trigger a fault in the active route, Run the DSP IPROUTE6 command (when active
and standby IP routes adopt destination-based IP routing) or the DSP
SRCIPROUTE6 command (when active and standby IP routes adopt source-based
IP routing) to check the route status. In the command output, Route Status of the
active route is Invalid.

Step 3 Verify the switchover. Run the TRACERT6 command. The switchover is successful if
the first hop IP address is the next hop IP address of the standby IP route.

Step 4 Restore the transmission link with a higher priority specified in the IPROUTE6
(when active and standby IP routes adopt destination-based IP routing)/

4.3.4.2.3 Using the MAE-Deployment


For detailed operations, see Feature Configuration Using the MAE-Deployment.

4.3.4.3 Activation Verification


This section is based on the following assumptions:
● Local IP addresses of the active and standby O&M channels are in different
network segments.
● In IPv4 transmission mode, the next-hop IP addresses in the IPRT MO (old
model)/IPROUTE4 (new model) MO bound to active and standby O&M
channels are different.
● In IPv6 transmission mode, the next-hop IP addresses in the IPROUTE6 or
SRCIPROUTE6 MO bound to active and standby O&M channels are different.
If the actual networking is different from the assumed networking, perform the
verification based on the actual networking. That is, an O&M channel switchover
can be triggered when the O&M channel in use is faulty and the transmission link
of the other O&M channel is normal.

Description 4 Engineering Guidelines for Transmission Reliability

To check whether O&M channel backup has taken effect, perform the following
steps:

Step 1 Run the DSP OMCH command to query the status of the active and standby O&M
channels and check which channel is in use. An O&M channel is active if the value
of OM Channel Status is Normal and the value of Used State is In Use.

Step 2 Trigger an O&M channel switchover.

Generate a transmission link fault on the O&M channel in use and verify that the
normal O&M channel can take over for the faulty O&M channel.

● If the O&M channel in use is the active one, generate a route fault on the
active O&M channel. Wait approximately 10 minutes and run the DSP OMCH
command to check the status of the standby O&M channel. The switchover is
successful if the value of OM Channel Status is Normal and the value of
Used State is In Use.
● If the O&M channel in use is the standby channel, generate a route fault on
the standby O&M channel. Wait approximately 10 minutes and run the DSP
OMCH command to check the status of the active O&M channel. The
switchover is successful if the value of OM Channel Status is Normal and the
value of Used State is In Use.

Step 3 Restore the faulty link in Step 2.

Step 4 Trigger the O&M channel switchback.

This example aims to verify that the O&M channel can be switched back to the
active channel after the fault in the active channel is rectified in Step 3.

If GTRANSPARA.OMCHSBWAITTIME is set to 60 (in the unit of second), wait


about 5 minutes and run the DSP OMCH command to check the status of the
active O&M channel.

● The switchback is successful if the value of OM Channel Status is Normal


and the value of Used State is In Use.
● Otherwise, check the value of Automatic UDP Session Detection Status. If
the value is DETECTING or SWITCHING, the detection or switchback is being
performed for the active O&M channel.

----End

4.3.4.4 Network Monitoring


Run the DSP OMCH command on the base station side to query statuses of active
and standby O&M channels.

During a switchover or switchback of the active and standby O&M channels, the
MAE reports ALM-301 NE Is Disconnected. This alarm is cleared after the
switchover or switchback is successfully completed. The base station reports
EVT-25893 Remote Maintenance Link Switchover to help determine whether the
O&M channel switchover is successful.

If the active and standby O&M channels need to be reconfigured, run the MOD
OMCH command on the base station side.

5 Engineering Guidelines for Transmission


Maintenance and Detection

5.1 BFD

5.1.1 Principles
Enable BFD only when BFD is required for quick fault locating in IP transmission
scenarios. BFD consumes CPU resources and transmission bandwidth, which will
affect network performance.

For regions and operators with high security requirements, enable the single-hop
BFD authentication function. The peer gateway must support BFD authentication.

Run the MOD BFDSESSION (in the old model)/MOD BFD (in the new model)
command to reconfigure the MINTI, MINRI, and DM parameters, if required.
● If BFD packets are sent at a too high frequency, excessive bandwidth is
required, which will affect the performance of the peer equipment. In this
case, increase the value of the MINTI parameter (negotiation with the
operator is required).
● If BFD packets are sent at a too low frequency, detection results are less
accurate. In this case, decrease the value of the MINTI parameter
(negotiation with the operator is required).
● If the fault detection sensitivity is too high on the peer end, ping-pong effects
occur. In this case, increase the value of the MINRI and DM parameters
(negotiation with the operator is required).
● If the fault detection sensitivity is too low on the peer end, it will take too
much time to detect a fault. In this case, decrease the value of the MINRI and
DM parameters (negotiation with the operator is required).

BFD is supported in IPv4 and IPv6 transmission scenarios.

----End

If a running single-hop BFD session fails, the base station automatically disables
the routes whose next-hop IP address is the peer IP address of the failed single-
hop BFD session.

The BFD on the base station cannot determine whether a BFD interruption is
caused by link disconnection or incorrect BFD configuration.

● If the BFD is bound with a route, a BFD link fault may result in a route
switchover.
● If BFD authentication is enabled, a link fault due to authentication failure
may result in a route switchover.

If a BFD session on an eNodeB is faulty, check whether an alarm listed in Table


5-1 is generated on the eNodeB. If an alarm is generated, clear the alarm by
referring to the related alarm reference.

6 Engineering Guidelines for Quick


Transmission Congestion Detection

6.1 Principles
Enable quick transmission congestion detection when eX2/X2 interfaces carry
coordination-based services such as CA in relaxed backhaul mode in coordinated
networking scenarios and the transmission bandwidth is insufficient.
Quick transmission congestion detection is supported only in IPv4 transmission
scenarios.

6.3.3 Hardware
Base Station Models
● Macro base station
3900 and 5900 series base stations
● LampSite base station
The DBS3900 LampSite and DBS5900 LampSite working in LO/UL mode
support quick transmission congestion detection.
● Micro base station
– The following FDD micro base station models support quick transmission
congestion detection when working in LO/UL mode:

▪ BTS3202E

▪ BTS3203E

▪ BTS3911E

▪ BTS3912E

Boards
Only the UMPTb, UMPTe, UMPTg, UMPTga, and UMDU of 3900 and 5900 series
base stations support quick transmission congestion detection.

RF Modules
This function does not depend on RF modules.

6.3.4 Networking
eX2/X2 interfaces work in relaxed backhaul mode in coordinated networking
scenarios.
The transmission bandwidth setting meets the following requirements:
● Traffic shaping is configured on the egress port and the committed access
rate (CAR) is configured for traffic policing on the ingress port.
● If the CAR is configured for traffic policing on the ingress port, traffic shaping
must be configured on the egress port of the upstream device, thereby
ensuring consistency between the transmit bandwidth of the upstream device

and that corresponding to the CAR of the ingress port. This avoids packet loss
caused by transmission bandwidth mismatch.

6.3.5 Others
1. IP PM has been activated for the eX2/X2 link but not backward activated.
2. Base stations are synchronized over the eX2/X2 interface.

On the eNodeB side, query quick transmission congestion detection results.

Step 1 Run the LST GLOBALPROCSWITCH command to query the value of the
GlobalProcSwitch.ItfTypeForNonIdealModeServ parameter, which indicates the
interface type to support coordination features in no-ideal backhaul mode. If the
GlobalProcSwitch.ItfTypeForNonIdealModeServ parameter value is EX2, an eX2

Description Congestion Detection

interface is used for carrying coordination services in non-ideal backhaul mode. If


the GlobalProcSwitch.ItfTypeForNonIdealModeServ parameter value is X2, an
X2 interface is used for carrying coordination services in non-ideal backhaul mode.
Step 2 Query the quick transmission congestion detection result of each eX2 link. If an
eX2 interface is used for carrying coordination-based services in relaxed backhaul
mode, run the DSP EX2UPINFO command. If an X2 interface is used for carrying
coordination-based services in relaxed backhaul mode, run the DSP X2UPINFO
command. In the command outputs, if the values of Transmit Congestion Delay
and Transmit Available Bandwidth are not NULL, quick transmission congestion
detection works normally. If the values are NULL, quick transmission congestion
detection fails.
