*- already corrected in previous release for details refer to customer communication form (CCF)

Tags used in the table:

CCxxx - customer communication form number (CC form listed in the LGF): correction details are available in
SRAN21A 2.0 LGF document
N/A - correction details not available at the moment

1.2 Important information

1. Limitation in FDSW
Due to limitation in current FDSW (Factory Delivery SW) it is not possible to upgrade software build on top of
Classical BTS FDSW if size of target software build is bigger than 4GB.Current SRAN21A Classical BTS
software build size is bigger than 4GB. So, Upgrade on top of FDSW (for instance: new site installation or
after some recovery case where SBTS fallbacks to FDSW), steps are:
-Migration from FDSW to SRAN20A, SRAN20B or SRAN20C load (intermediate load)
-New Migration from this intermediate load to SRAN21A.

Note:
-Alternative way is to manually upgrade FDSW to the latest FDSW19A ->
LN_WN_FDSW19A_0000_000142_000000 (or newer FDSW product release when available) and perform then
an upgrade to the target SRAN package.
- FDSW release with correction for that issue was given already to the factories. If HW unit with the FDSW
version LN_WN_FDSW19A_0000_000142_000000(or newer) is installed, no need to perform this
intermediate upgrade.
- Limitations are related to manual SW installation only. PnP works correctly regardless package size.
- This limitation is valid for all the HW types.

Refer technical support note TS-BTS-SW-0321 for further details.

2. Limitation for WBTS rollback

SRAN21A is based on WBTSFP21A, during rollback to WBTS19 3.0 P8, there is following limitation:
Rollback to WBTS19 3.0 P8 build: Rollback from WBTSFP21A to WBTS19 3.0 (WBTS00_19S3_3610_35) build
for a FlexiRelease 3 system module, an intermediate build WBTS00_19S3_3610_51 needs to be used (due to
PR534893).

3. Operator Hint for LTE5551: CA operation robustness for CBSD enbs(Intra enb)
When using LTE3663(CBRS standalone) and LTE5551(CA operation robustness for CBSD enbs(Intra enb)), the
sCellActivationMethod need to be set as nonGBRBufferBasedStepWise(1).

4. The NIDD changes for future functionality

The NIDD changes for future functionality have not been removed, faults 1907, 1910, 1911 and 1938 should
be reverted. Reference to CC001503.

5. Faults 1936, 1939 & 1942

Faults 1936, 1939, 1942 are not ready to be used for SRAN21A. Reference to GF050139.

6. Mapping of Fault ID 6124 and Fault ID 6127

SRAN21A 2.0 – Release Delivery Summary – Page 6/19 © Nokia 2021

Version 1
Confidential
 Due to NIDD is frozen, the Fault ID 6124 and Fault ID 6127 are mapped to minor alarms like Alarm 7115
BASE STATION INFORMATION & 7655 CELL NOTIFICATION , and Fault ID 6126 is removed in SW
implementation without NIDD update.

4. UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
Please refer to the Nokia documentation, the ‘SRAN system upgrade and migration section, available from
Nokia Discovery Center

4.1 Prerequisites

Before performing a SW upgrade in FSMF or AirScale System Module (later: Flexi System Module), please
ensure the following:

1. Official SW package is available

2. Supported BTS SW is running in Flexi System Module
3. Target SW package must be imported to NetAct SW archive in case of SBTS SW upgrade using NetAct.
• During SW importation, the version ID and package name must reflect the real version and not the
default name, which is usually the SW ZIP filename. (if the SW downloaded is
SBTS21A_ENB_0000_000590_000000_release_BTSSM_downloadable_A54.zip, then the Version ID
and package name in SW import manager must be renamed to
SBTS21A_ENB_0000_000590_000000.zip).
4. Before the upgrade from the older releases to 21A using NetAct, SBTS in origin release must be fully
integrated and working in NetAct.
5. Controllers (including WCDMA OMS) are upgraded to a compatible level
6. The latest available (32-bit or 64-bit) version of the Google Chrome web browser, is installed in the PC.
7. Target HW configuration and the SBTS cell set are defined.
8. Network level compatibilities are considered (see chapter 3 for details).

For 21A common SW packages are released (meaning that the package includes software for both FSMF and
AirScale).

4.2 Tested upgrade Paths from previous FDD releases

Following upgrade paths have been tested:

 Notes

• Please, check the restrictions listed in the “SRAN21A_2.0_Features_and_Restrictions_v1.xlsx” document

which is the part of Delivery Documentation.
• The first fully supported FDSW version for Flexi Multiradio BTS Single RAN is FDSW1.1. For more details,
see Technical Support Note: TS-SRAN-HW-0108 /1/.
• For details and upgrade paths of the controllers, please refer corresponding release documentation.

4.6 BTS HW compatibility

Supported HW items are defined in the "Single RAN Compatibility” document /2/.

4.7 Network level compatibility

Supported Network Elements are described in the "Single RAN Compatibility“ document /2/.

The upgrade order and SW levels for different network elements need to be checked from the corresponding
compatibility documentation.

4.8 SETUP

4.8.1 PC settings for connecting to BTS

- IP settings for the PC network card (straight Ethernet cable is needed to connect to the LMP port):PC
IP address 192.168.255.126 ,
- Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (with /24 mask),
- Gateway is not defined

WebEM will connect to the BTS via WebSocket connection remotely using the M-Plane IP or using the local
management port (LMP).
In case of SBTS17A and onwards, WebEM will connect to BTS on the port 443.

4.8.2 Connecting to a BTS and Authentication management

Authentication is always enabled either with the default username/password (Nemuadmin / nemuuser) or a
user defined username/password. Therefore, the correct username and password must be used to log in to
the BTS.

4.9 LOG COLLECTION FOR TROUBLESHOOTING

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the actions needed before and after the SBTS software upgrade
to ensure smooth troubleshooting if the upgrade fails for any reason.

4.9.1 Before SBTS SW upgrade

Preventive actions need to be done to make troubleshooting possible afterwards, see steps below:

1. Collect and save BTS Snapshots from different configurations (for example, from one cluster).
2. Collect and save both active and passive SW versions information from the network.
3. Save the active SCFs (Site Configuration File) as back-up copies.

SRAN21A 2.0 – Release Delivery Summary – Page 12/19 © Nokia 2021

Version 1
Confidential
 Use right tools when performing the above steps:
• If SW update is done from SBTS to SBTS, use SBTS Element Manager.

4.9.2 After SBTS SW upgrade

Following actions should be done after the SW download and activation if upgrade fails for any reason, see
steps below:

1. Collect BTS Snapshot as fast as possible.

Collect the alarm history from the timespan of two weeks backwards.

4.10 SBTS SW UPGRADE AND UPDATE

For detailed upgrade instructions, refer to Operating documents:

- Commissioning SBTS by WebEM /3/,
- SRAN System Upgrade and Migration /4/,
- BTS Upgrade and Migration /5/.

If there are problems with the upgraded MRBTS, you can rollback the original software
package using Software Manager. Note that to be able to restore the original situation,
there cannot be any configuration changes in MRBTS before the rollback.

4.11 LTE ENB MIGRATION TO SBTS21A

Please, refer to the documents “SRAN System Upgrade and Migration” /4/ and BTS Upgrade and Migration /5/.

4.12 SW ROLLBACK

SW rollback is a SW fallback manually-initiated using the Web Element Manager. The operator can trigger SW
rollback when the key services are not activated successfully after the SW upgrade. Note that SW rollback is
only guaranteed if the source SW version has not been removed or overwritten in a non-volatile storage (NVS).
The SW rollback is done with the SW stored in the passive file system and no SW download from the server is
the part of the operation. If the passive SW has been overwritten with a different SW version, the rollback to
the former release is not possible.

A software rollback to the stored SW load restores the earlier configuration. If there has been a major network
reconfiguration after the upgrade, such as reconfiguring the eNB from IPv4 to IPv6 or updating the operator
certificates, then the network connectivity issues can occur after the rollback. Reconfigurations after the SW
upgrade must be evaluated before triggering the SW rollback to avoid a service outage.

4.12.1 SW Rollback procedure by using WebEM or NetAct

You can rollback to the previous software and SBTS configuration data.
1. Launch WebEM / NetAct SWM.
2. Start SW rollback operation.
3. SBTS starts up with previous SW.

For more detailed instructions, refer to the document SRAN System Upgrade and Migration /4/.

4.13 RESTORING FACTORY SETTINGS

Restore Factory Settings Tool (RFSTool) can be used to recover the System Module back to the factory
settings. The restore procedure with RFSTool should be used whenever the regular recovery procedures
(including resets, reconfiguration, SW download) are not possible or they do not recover the fault state.

RFSTool (including MS executable application and the user guide) is delivered with SBTS19A SW release. Please
read the tool instructions carefully before using it.

For more information about RFSTool, see also Technical Support Notes: TS-SRAN-HW-0080 /6/ and TS-SRAN-
HW-0108 /1/.

5. COMPATIBILITY
In line with global release compatibility (see the Compatibility Matrix from Nokia Discovery Center).

Unless otherwise stated, it is recommended to first upgrade the master technology (that is, LTE for GSM-LTE
configurations) as the SW management of Radio Modules in RF Sharing is done via the master System Module
only.

Note: For the newest information and restrictions regarding the RF-Sharing please see Classical RF Sharing
Compatibility Matrix in Discovery Center.

Total 1463 1451 99.19%

6.1.2 Description of test phases

New Feature Testing

The target is to verify the newly introduced features/CNIs.

Correction Testing

The target is to verify whether the introduced changes/corrections solve the reported issues.

Regression Testing

The target is to verify whether the introduced changes/corrections do not cause any unexpected side effects. The
aim of regression testing is also to ensure that all released functionalities work as expected in the E2E environment.

It covers also performance testing, which is executed to determine how the system performs in terms of
responsiveness and stability under a particular load/traffic. It serves to:
- collect KPI measurements that are compared against defined KPI targets and KPIs from the previous
releases,
- check whether the system can continuously function well in or above a defined period.

Carrier Aggregation Testing

To ensure SRAN / TDD CA compatibility, both technologies must be upgraded to the compatible SW levels.

Software Update Installation Testing

The target is to validate if the entity can be updated/upgraded from the old to the newly released SW version.

The upgrade was tested with the released upgrade paths which are listed in the Release Upgrade Instructions
documents.
