1. Configuration Overview
The Baicells eNodeB (eNB) is loaded with its own GUI for configuring its operating
parameters. You can log in to the GUI either locally through the Local Maintenance
Terminal (LMT), which is an Ethernet port, or remotely via IP address. You can also use
the Baicells Operation and Maintenance Center (OMC) to configure the eNB; this
document, however, focuses only on using the eNB GUI.
When configuring a newly installed eNB, we recommend you follow the flow that is
shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Initial eNB Configuration Flow
NOTE: Before configuring the eNB’s data, data planning needs to be done first. The data to configure
includes local parameters and connecting parameters. These parameters are either provided by the
user or determined after negotiation with the customers. The data to prepare include transmission
parameters, wireless parameters, operation and maintenance parameters, and software version, etc.
In “eNB Status > eNB Information”, set the Carrier Mode is Single Carrier, Dual Carrier
or Carrier Aggregation. After the carrier mode is modified, reboot the eNB to take effort.
For dual carrier eNB, the primary cell (Cell1) and secondary (Cell2) need to be
configured. First configure the primary cell, and then configure the secondary cell. Some
parameters of the secondary cell is limited by the primary cell, the system has set these
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT1
parameters to non-configurable.
If the eNB works in SAS mode, set the “Country Code” to “USA-FCC (CBRS)”.

The Mobility Parameter menu pertains to how roaming UE sessions are handled between
different eNBs in the same service area. When a UE is actively connected to an eNB is
referred to as the serving eNB or cell. The other eNBs in the area are referred to as either
neighbor or target eNBs or cells.
The process of a device moving from cell to cell and changing over from its serving eNB
to a neighbor (target) eNB is called handoff or handover. The UE exchange information
with its serving eNB to perform cell selection and reselection based on parameters which
you will set for each eNB.
On the left navigation column, select “Advanced Setting >LTE Setting > Mobility
Parameter” to enter the mobility parameter configuration page, as shown in Figure 5-48.
Figure 5-48 Mobility Parameter
NOTE: When the eNB operates in dual carrier mode, the mobility parameters should be configured for
cell1 and cell2 separately.
 A1 Event Threshold
The LTE A1 event is triggered when the serving cell’s Reference Signal Received
Power (RSRP) is better than the A1 threshold. The A1 event can be used to turn
off certain inter-cell measurements.
Input the value of “LTE A1 RSRP Threshold”.
The LTE A2 event is triggered when the signal quality of the serving cell is lower
than the value of the A2 threshold.
Input the value of “LTE A2 RSRP Threshold”.
The LTE A3 event is triggered when the neighbor cell becomes better than the
serving cell by as much as the offset value. The offset can be either positive or
negative.
Input the value of “Intra-Freq Handover A3 Offset”.
The LTE A5 event is triggered when the serving cell becomes worse than Threshold
1 while a neighbor cell becomes better than Threshold 2. A5 event can control the
edge of handover out of the serving cell and the edge of handover in of the neighbor
cell.
The A5 event threshold configuration parameters are given in Table 5-27.

 Measurement Control Parameter
The Measurement Control parameters determine how frequently the UE measures

the serving and neighboring eNB’s RSRP values and at what level of hysteresis-
based RSRP triggers a handover. The UE evaluate the RF conditions around it and
reports the information to the serving eNB. The eNB’s radio resource management
function evaluates the measurements and determines whether or not to hand over
the session to a neighbor eNB.
The measurement control configuration parameters are given in Table 5-28.
Table 5-28 Measurement Control Parameter Description

Hysteresis This parameter Refers to the hysteresis (historical records) of
the handover measurement event. The value is used to avoid
the frequent triggering of cell handover evaluation due to the
fluctuation in wireless signals. This setting tells the UE, if you
hear another eNB with at least this amount of dB better,
initiate a handover. The lower the number the sooner the
handover is initiated. If set too low, it may cause the UE to
ping-pong between eNBs. Such events are tracked by the
eNB, but not by the eNB. Range from 0 to 30dB. The default is
1. In this example, the recommended value is 5dB.
Time To Trigger Length of time the target cell RSRP value is better than the
serving cell before the UE initiates a handover request.
 Cell Selection Parameter
When the UE selects a PLMN, it will select an appropriate cell to residence.
The cell selection configuration parameters are given in Table 5-29.
Table 5-29 Cell Selection Parameter Description

Qrxlevmin (dBm) The minimum acceptable signal level at the UE before cell
selection. The unit is dBm.
By defining this parameter, it will avoid the UE to access the
cell with low receiving signal level. The value of this parameter
needs to take factors such as cell size, cell coverage and
background noise into comprehensive consideration.
Reducing the parameter value will expand the allowable
access range of the cell, but it may result in poor call quality.
QrxlevminOffset The minimum level offset (difference) in RSRP at the UE
needed for cell selection.
When the UE residing on a VPLMN periodically searches for a
higher-level cell, the minimum threshold value is offset to
prevent ping-pong effect.
 Cell Reselection Parameter

When a UE is in idle state, it needs to select a better cell by monitoring the signal
quality of the neighbor cell and the serving cell. Cell reselection includes the intra-
frequency cell reselection and the inter-frequency cell reselection. The intra-
frequency cell reselection mainly solves the problem of wireless coverage. The inter-
frequency cell reselection can solve the problem of wireless coverage, but also to
achieve the load balance between different frequency points.
The cell reselection configuration parameters are given in Table 5-30.
Table 5-30 Cell Reselection Parameter Description

S-IntraSearch Intra-frequency measurement threshold that must be met
before the UE will reselect a neighbor eNB. Range is 0 to 31
(integer). In this example, the recommended value is 31
(integer), which means 31*2 = 62 dB.
S-NonIntraSearch Inter-frequency measurement threshold that must be met
before the UE will reselect a neighbor eNB.
Qrxlevmin(dBm) The minimum level for re-selection. Range is -70 to -22
(integer). In this example, the recommended value is -62
(integer), which means -62*2 = -124 dB.
Qhyst Delay time for re-selection. General the value of the
parameter is 2.
This parameter will overestimate the signal strength of the
serving cell to delay the cell reselection.
Reselection Priority Priority for the reselection. Range is 0 to 7. In this example,
the recommended value is4.
ThreshServingLow Threshold for reselection to cells of lower priority.
Allowed Meas BW Measurement bandwidth allowed.

6.1 Spectrum Analyzer

The UL Physical Resource Block (PRB) Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)
Report feature may be used when you think you have an interference issue. RSSI
measures the total received wideband power, including noise. When you run this report,
the eNB looks for UE subframes not being used (no PRBs assigned, no traffic) then takes
the RSSI measurement.
CAUTION:
Enable the function will interrupt services. Please be careful when performing this
operation.
In the left navigation column, select “Tools > Spectrum Analyzer” to enter the
spectrum analyzer configuration page, as shown in Figure 6-60.
Figure 6-60 Spectrum Analyzer
NOTE: In the Dual Carrier mode, the page shows spectrum analyzer setting of Cell1 and Cell2.
The eNB provides three types of mode.
 No-load mode
 Regular mode
 Full band mode
NOTE: The Cell2 does not support the full band mode.
If you choose one type of mode, the page will display the graph of UL PRB RSSI, as
Figure 6-61 UL PRB RSSI Graph
The report will display a graph in real-time at the lower-half of the window, showing
the total UL RSSI (in dBm) along the y-axis for each PRB along the x-axis. Since
there are multiple antenna elements, the Baicells eNB reports each RF chain – ANT0
and ANT1. Only 20MHz of bandwidth can be detected at one time.
6.2 Signaling Trace

The Signaling Trace function is typically used for troubleshooting UE attachment and
handover issues. During a signaling trace, RRC and SCTP packets are captured in real-
time. The packet are sent to a remote computer running Wireshark or a Local OMC and
displayed so the data can be analyzed.
The RRC protocol controls the UE and eNB over-the-air communications, and is
especially important during mobility scenarios as a mobile user is handed off from one
eNB to another. SCTP is a transport protocol layer for the S1-MME signaling bear and is
responsible for the Evolved Packet System (EPS) bearer setup/modification/release,
handover procedures, Non-Access Stratum (NAS) signaling transport, and paging
procedures.
