Upgrade Prerequisites

The Core Network can be upgraded either before or after WCDMA RAN for all upgrade paths.

New hardware must be installed in affected nodes, and old hardware removed.

Note: All necessary field change orders must have been performed prior to upgrade.

The old WCDMA RAN P6.x LKF (Licence Key File) will not work in a WCDMA RAN P7.0 node. The WCDMA RAN P7.0 product must be correctly ordered to receive the P7.0 LKFs. Those P7.0 LKFs must be pre-installed in the from-state before upgrading. Note that before installing the licences it is important that the system clock for the node is set correctly. Failure to install the licences shall result in lost functionality or capacity after the upgrade. An alarm is issued when the LKF is missing. Concerning license controlled features which were active in the from-state, the AUE will handle the activation. For new features, the operator has to activate them, when they are to be used.

Capacity licenses in both RBS and RNC must be ordered and installed with enough capacity in order to retain existing capacity.

System Improvements in WCDMA RAN P7 Release

This is an optional feature in the in WCDMA RAN P7.0. This feature contains all enhancements and

improvements that are not covered by other features for the WCDMA RAN 7 release and are of commercial value. Following enhancements and improvements are added:

- Compliance with 3GPP Release 7, for functions that are implemented

- Reduced downtime at RNC restart - ISL Load Control - Improved In-Service Performance - Node-level load balancing in the RNC


Slide title 40 pt


Text 24 pt


System Improvements Network Performance Impact

Improvements to streamline the RNC-internal procedures during restart, resulting in shorter restart times have been introduced.

In RNC a new load control for the Inter-Subrack Links has been introduced to provide a reliable protection from ISL overload. The mechanism regularly measures the load on each ISL. When the load is approaching the link capacity, the Packet Data Router will reduce the user plane traffic to avoid overload. This ensures robust behavior also in very high traffic situations and allows for a Maximum Iub throughput of up to 1200 Mbps.

In-Service Performance for the RNC is improved by introduction of memory pool protection of USAAL. This is done by flow control of NBAP-C/D messages sent from RBS to RNC. This features ensures that the USAAL server will not fill up its pool memory and cause a module restart in RNC. Traffic overload protection involves a flow control mechanism allowing USAAL to check if NBAP-D and NBAP-C are ready to receive more messages. The USAAL, server in communication with NBAP, will add and receive flow control information (sequence numbers) in the signal flow, such that it can protect against buffer overruns and prevent restart during heavy traffic.

The Module MP processor load balancing mechanism is introduced in P7 which will balance the load within the complete RNC, essentially removing the need for frequent remoduling (moving RBSs between subracks). This will increase the utilization of the RNC HW.

System Improvements Operation Impact

The WCDMA RAN P7.0 CPI introduces a new concept, a library collection. The change presents all the documentation for all WCDMA RAN nodes in one view providing the end user with better navigation between the related CPI products for the WCDMA RAN release. It also provides support for multi-library download and searching multi-libraries and removes the need for having several browsers open with various node libraries in parallel. The change does not impact the end user, in that no actions need to be taken. The enhancement is graphical and presents a coherent view of all WCDMA RAN CPI.

Conversational RAB for Multimode AMR speech

This optional feature, Conversational RAB for Multimode AMR Speech, is enhanced in WCDMA P7.0.

This feature provides the possibility to increase the capacity for the speech service by making it possible to use lower codec rates for speech when there is a high load in the radio network. The feature also allows for increasing the speech coverage by using the lower speech codec rates.

The feature provides a conversational Radio Access Bearer (RAB) for multi mode AMR speech with the following rates:

- 12.2 kbps - 7.95 kbps - 5.9 kbps - 4.75 kbps The operator can choose between two different realization

alternatives for this RAB, that is, either single rate or multi-rate .


Slide title 40 pt


Text 24 pt



The 12.2 and 7.95 kbps rates use the downlink spreading factor of 128, while the 5.9 and 4.75 kbps rates a spreading factor of 256. The higher spreading factor for the two lower codec rates also gives improved code utilization.

The core network assigns this multi-mode AMR RAB by making a RAB assignment with these 4 rates. The selection between the two alternatives (that is, single or multi rate radio bearer) is controlled by the operator on a cell level. The selection is done at RAB assignment and the selected alternative will not change due to mobility.


Slide title 40 pt


Text 24 pt



WCDMA RAN P7.0 release, the following RAB combinations will have the AMR multi rate radio bearer 12.2, 7.95, 5.9, 4.75) in the RB combinations:

- Speech + (1-3)x PS interactive on both rel 99 and HSDPA

- Speech + PS streaming on rel 99

- Speech + PS streaming on HSDPA except for the 32/HS and 128/HS streaming cases and the combinations with multiple interactive bearers


Slide title 40 pt


Text 24 pt


Multimode AMR speech Network Performance Impact

In high load situations there will be an improved speech capacity in the radio network by reducing the speech codec rate. The feature enables the higher speech codec rates when the radio network load allows for that.

Improved code utilization is introduced due to the higher spreading factor for the two lower AMR rates (applicable for the single rate radio bearer alternative).

Improved coverage is possible for the speech service with the lower speech codec rates.

Introduces possibility for the UEs to adapt between the different uplink codec rates due to uplink coverage (applicable for the multirate radio bearer alternative).

Multimode AMR speech Operation Impact

The feature is under license control. The following parameter can be set on cell level by the operator,

amrNbSelector, to enable AMR NB MM. Single-rate is the default configuration.

New Erlang and traffic volume counters for AMR MM are introduced; - pmSumAmrNbMmRabEstablish - pmSamplesAmrNbMmRabEstablish - pmSumBestAmrNbMmRabEstablish - pmSamplesBestAmrNbMmRabEstablish - pmUlTrafficVolumeAmrNbMm - pmDlTrafficVolumeAmrNbMm Following GPEH Parameter is updated to include speech configuration: - EVENT_PARAM_SOURCE_CONNECTION_PROPERTIES - EVENT_PARAM_TARGET_CONNECTION_PROPERTIES For the multirate case existing parameters are used to configure at which

load in the radio network the different rates shall be selected as maximum rate and thereby having the higher rates excluded from the selection.

Multimode AMR other requirements

This feature requires the feature Conversational RAB for AMR Speech FAJ 121 146.

The value of this feature is increased if paired with the feature Stand Alone SRB 3.4 kbps that adds possibility to use lower signalling rates and extend the SRB coverage in a cell to match the coverage area of speech calls when the low rate speech codec is used.

When this feature is activated and the parameter amrNbSelector is set to AMR NB MM and the feature Measurement Function Radio Environment Statistics FAJ 121 514 (RES) is used, there is a limitation in that RES will not support the recording of AMR NB MM (there will be fewer samples for the RES service speech).

This feature requires support in the Core Network. Support for AMR MM is required in the UE.

Iu UP version 1 must be used

Stand alone SRB 3.4 kbps

The optional feature Stand Alone SRB 3.4 kbps is new in WCDMA RAN P7.0.

The possibility to have a stand alone SRB with the rate 3.4 kbps instead of the default SRB rate of 13.6 kbps is introduced. SRB 3.4 kbps requires less resources than SRB 13.6 kbps, which means the coverage and capacity can be improved. In particular, if SRB 3.4 kbps is combined with using a lower rate speech codec of AMR NB or AMR WB, the coverage of the speech service can be improved.


Slide title 40 pt


Text 24 pt


Stand alone SRB 3.4 kbps Network Performance Impact

When the SRB 3.4 kbps is used this will increase the SRB stand alone coverage and the number of simultaneous users of the SRB in a cell (consumes less resources/lower data speed). The increase in coverage area can lead to an increase in Accessibility.

Since the SRB 3.4 kbps has a lower signalling rate, the call setup signalling will take longer (estimated 1-1.5s increase) than when SRB 13.6 kbps is used. The choice to use SRB 3.4 or SRB 13.6 kbps is operator configurable on cell level. The increased time on SRB could result in decreased retainability.


Slide title 40 pt

Stand alone SRB 3.4 kbps Opration Impact

The feature is under license control. A cell parameter, standAloneSrbSelector, is used to select if SRB 3.4 or SRB 13.6

kbps will be used in the cell. New PM counters are introduced; New Retainability counters for SRB - pmNoNormalReleaseSrbOnly34 - pmNoSystemReleaseSrbOnly34 - pmNoNormalReleaseSrbOnly136 - pmNoSystemReleaseSrbOnly136 New Erlang counters for SRB - pmSumSrbOnly34 - pmSamplesSrbOnly34 - pmSumBestSrbOnly34 - pmSamplesBestSrbOnly34 - pmSumBestRrcOnlyEstablish - pmSamplesBestRrcOnlyEstablish New Traffic volume counters for SRB - pmDlTrafficVolumeSrb34 - pmUlTrafficVolumeSrb34 - pmDlTrafficVolumeSrb136 - pmUlTrafficVolumeSrb136 This feature is not dependent on any other feature, but the value of this feature is

Statistical Observability

The optional feature Statistical Observability, is enhanced in WCDMA RAN P7.0.

Counters for new and enhanced optional features, for example 64 QAM and Cell Broadcast Service have been added.

In RBS the possibility to view the blocked calls caused by shortage of licensed resources have been added. It will also be possible to observe the level of statistical utilization of the licensed resources in an enhanced way. The licensed resources in RBS covered are the following:

- Channel elements - HS-DSCH users - HS-PDSCH codes - E-DCH users RBS capacity status can be monitored and resources managed

accordingly. Taking necessary action will ensure that subscribers experience less access blocking and dropped calls.


Slide title 40 pt


Text 24 pt


Statistical Observability The operator will be able to predict shortage of licensed capacity and

thereby prepare the system for higher subscriber capacity. The experienced quality of the network will improve as fewer calls will

be blocked caused by shortage of RBS and RNC resources. The enhanced observability will predict need for investment in more

licenses of channel elements, but also hardware if all available capacity is already utilized.

Maintenance personnel will be informed when licensed resources are scarce and can act accordingly to offset the shortfall.

The observability is supplied with the licenses it monitors. In addition the following new RBS counters are introduced monitoring the RBS capacity status:

- pmCapacityDlCe - pmSamplesCapacityUlCe - pmSumSqrCapacityHsPdschCodes - pmCapacityAllocAttDlCe - pmCapacityHsDschUsers - pmSamplesCapacityHsPdschCodes - pmCapacityAllocRejDlCe - pmCapacityAllocAttHsDschUsers - pmCapacityEDchUsers - pmSumCapacityDlCe - pmCapacityAllocRejHsDschUsers - pmCapacityAllocAttServEDchUsers - pmSumSqrCapacityDlCe - pmSumCapacityHsDschUsers - pmCapacityAllocRejServEDchUsers - pmSamplesCapacityDlCe - pmSumSqrCapacityHsDschUsers - pmSumCapacityServEDchUsers

Cell Broadcast Service

The CBS feature enables broadcast of short text messages to defined geographical areas known as Cell Broadcast Service Areas (CBSAs). The messages are repeated over the air interface at a frequency and for a duration agreed by the content provider.

CB messages are generated by the Cell Broadcast Center (CBC) and sent to WCDMA RAN via the Iu-BC interface. The CBC is an external node provided by the operator, that is, the functionality is not integrated in the Ericsson Core Network.


Slide title 40 pt


Text 24 pt


Cell Broadcast Service The Service Area Broadcast Protocol (SABP), is used to distribute

CB messages from CBC to a number of CBSAs in RNC. Each CBSA contains only one UTRAN cell. Both IP and ATM transport is supported in WCDMA RAN.

The CB messages received from CBC are stored in WCDMA RAN and the Broadcast Multicast Control (BMC) protocol is used on the Uu interface to schedule and broadcast corresponding BMC CBS messages in the cell. Each BMC CBS message contains one CB message. The BMC CBS messages are sent on the logical channel CTCH using RLC unacknowledged mode. The CTCH is multiplexed on a FACH transport channel carried by a Secondary CCPCH.

CB messages are received by UEs in Idle mode and in state URA_PCH. The UE will monitor the CTCH during time intervals which do not conflict with the UE specific paging occasions on PICH.


Slide title 40 pt


Text 24 pt


CBS Capabilities

A maximum of 20 CB messages, or a total payload of 2.5 kbyte, can be stored per CBSA in the RNC. When this limit is reached new CB messages addressed to the CBSA are discarded. If a CB message is discarded the cell counter pmNoDiscardedCbsMsgOrders is stepped.

The maximum number of CBSAs is 65535 within a PLMN and 2304 within an RNC.

The size of incoming SABP messages is limited to 18000 octets. This should be large enough to cover a SABP WRITE-REPLACE message containing 2304 CBSAs. If the size exceeds 18000 octets the message is not decoded and WCDMA RAN responds by sending an SABP ERROR INDICATION to CBC.


Slide title 40 pt


Text 24 pt


Cell Broadcast Service Area

The CBS feature includes the area concept Cell Broadcast Service Area (CBSA) which represents the smallest geographical area where a CB message can be broadcast. The CBSA is only used towards the CBC node and it contains one UTRAN cell.

The service area identity (SAI) for a CBSA is defined as: PLMN id + Location Area Code (LAC) + CB Service Area Code The CB Service Area Code is configured in the RNC and the value

is set by the cell parameter cellBroadcastSac. For PLMN id and LAC the already configured values for the cell are used.

In order to avoid configuration mismatch OSS provides a consistency check rule for verifying that the CBSAs are unique in all cells in the network. Warnings will be issued in case on non-unique SAI as same SAI in different cells may cause broadcasting of CB messages in the wrong area.

If the cellBroadcastSac parameter is set to “undefined” no CB messages can be broadcast in the cell.


Slide title 40 pt


Text 24 pt


Start of CBS operation

In order to start CBS operation the following criteria must be fulfilled: 1. The CBS feature is activated and the license is loaded, 2. The Iu-BC link is configured, 3. The cells in which CB messages are to be broadcast are enabled and a CBSA is

defined for each cell, As soon as criteria 1 and 3 are fulfilled, the CTCH configuration is included in

system information, SIB5, and the UE will start monitoring the CTCH occasions on S-CCPCH in cells where a CBSA has been defined. However, no CB messages can be broadcast in the cells as long as the Iu-BC link is not configured.

Once all criteria 1, 2 and 3 above are fulfilled, RNC informs CBC about the service areas that are operable by sending a SABP RESTART message. The SABP RESTART message contains a list of all defined CBSAs within the RNC.

If a cell with a defined CBSA becomes disabled the broadcast is stopped in that cell and all stored CB messages are cleared. As soon as the cell is up again a restart indication is triggered for the cell. To avoid that SABP RESTART messages are sent too often over the Iu-BC interface a periodic timer of 30 seconds is implemented in the RNC to monitor the restart indications. Whenever the timer expires RNC will send a SABP RESTART message to CBC containing a list all CBSAs that have triggered a restart indication during the last 30 seconds. If there were no restart indications when the timer expires, no SABP RESTART message is sent for that period.

Scheduling of BMC messages over the Uu interface The logical channel CTCH is multiplexed on FACH1, carried by the

existing S-CCPCH used for 32 kbps Interactive PS RB and SRBs. The CTCH is scheduled on S-CCPCH during predefined CTCH occasions. The CTCH occasions are fixed on the SFN cycle 0...4095 and thus repeated cyclically.

CTCH occasions are defined as the radio frames in which the following equation is true:

SFN = K + m*N, m = 0, 1, 2, ... M ( Reference [5]) K is the offset to the first CTCH occasion on the SFN cycle. The value is

hard coded to 0. N is the period of CTCH occasions on S-CCPCH. The value is set by the

parameter ctchOccasionPeriod. M is chosen so that K + M*N 4095 (Max SFN) Note that the TTI for FACH1 is 10 ms, that is, each CTCH occasion

corresponds to one TTI on FACH1 Note: Changing the attribute ctchOccasionPeriod will affect any ongoing

traffic in the cell. Whenever its value is set, the cell is disabled automatically and then re-enabled.

Iu-BC interface the Iu-BC interface will be connected to the same O&M IP network as Mur implies the

following: - QoS must be considered as the Iu-BC traffic will compete for bandwidth with the O&M

traffic - Iu-BC interface and traffic will experience the same level of network security as O&M

traffic and as provided by the O&M IP network - The CBC node must be connected to the O&M IP network - The O&M IP network must allow the TCP port for SABP 3452 and will compete for

bandwidth with the O&M traffic From RNC to CBC node the Iu-BC traffic will get the same QoS characteristics as

O&M traffic. The dimensioning of the O&M IP network should take into account Iu-BC traffic. The

Iu-BC traffic volume is expected to be low and the impact on the dimensioning should be small.

C Iu-BC = Msglength * numMsgs/second Msglength is the length of the SABP message. Note that the maximum length of a

SABP message that can be processed in WCDMA RAN is limited to 18000 octets. numMsgs/second is the number of SABP messages sent over the Iu-BC interface per

second. To improve security it is recommended to turn on the Filter for IP source address

validation in the RNC by setting parameter sourceIpAddressValidation to TRUE. This filter will avoid the establishment of connections from other IP source addresses than the configured IP address for the CBC.It is possible to turn this filter off if there is a need to establish connections from more than one IP address.

RBS Auto Provisioning

The feature simplifies the integration of RBS into the network and shortens the site integration time. The feature makes it possible for a site technician to easily and rapidly integrate an RBS into the network, without any support from the OMC personnel.

Note: For ATM-RBSs the semi automated procedure has to be used (as ATM-RBSs initially cannot access the DHCP server).

The amount of information needed at the site visit is minimized, as the preparations are made in advance. During the integration the RBS configuration is automatically downloaded from network repositories (FTP (SMRS) and DHCP servers respectively). IP connectivity to the site is required for taking advantage of the Auto-Integration of RBS feature. This means IP connectivity over Ethernet or over ATM for IP- or ATM RBSs respectively.


Slide title 40 pt


Text 24 pt


RBS Auto Provisioning

In order to utilize this feature to its full extent the following servers are in operation in the O&M infrastructure (COMInf) are required:

- Bi-SMRS server (used as a repository for the RBS configuration files) - DHCP server (based on IP Works) The Bi-SMRS server requires the hardware servers NESS and NEDSS. However,

the semi-automated process can always be used independently if the Bi-SMRS or the DHCP servers.

The site technician launches the Auto-Integration of RBS application GUI and enters the needed information (RBS logical name and so on). The Auto-Integration process then starts and it consists of a number of steps, all performed automatically without any operator intervention.

To be able to utilize the Auto-Integration of RBS feature preparations have to be made in advance. The amount of preparation data differs depending on the type Auto-Integration procedure (semi automated or not). Not all preparations are needed in semi automated procedure as the RBS configuration files are stored in the LCT and not in the network repositories.

(1) When semi automated procedure is used the Basic IP data is included in the Site Basic configuration file (same as for manual integration of RBS). (2) When semi automated procedure is used the Site Basic and External HW configuration files need to be stored on the site technician LCT before travelling to the site (same as for manual integration of RBS).

HSDPA Users per Cell

This optional feature HSDPA Users per Cell is enhanced in WCDMA RAN P7.0. with support for upto 64 HSDPA users per cell in RBS. The feature also introduces the possibility for the operator to configure A-DCH processing capacity. Note that the total number of users in 3 cells cannot exceed 96.

The feature increases the peak level of subscribers that can be handled in a cell from 32 to 64. HW capacity (number of HSDPA processing resources and configured A-DCH capacity)

should be matched to the licensed or configured level or users. In RNC, there are cell admission control parameters that need to be tuned to the correct value, dependent on what license level there is in the RBS, or how the parameters maxNumHsdpaUsers and maxNumADchReservation are set. Amount of A-DCH to allow in RBS shall also be tuned via parameter numAdchReservation

The existing license FAJ 121 1011 is extended to have the following 2 more license levels allowing up to 64 users:

- 33..48 - 49..64 The new parameter numAdchCeReservation to allow the operator to control the resources for

A-DCH. Following new counters are introduced, - pmUsedADch : A-DCH resource utilization - pmAllocRejADch : A-DCH blocking - pmAllocRejHwHsDschUsers : number of users blocking

Number of carriers in RUW/RRUW based RBS

This license Number of Carriers in RRU/RRUW based RBS is new in WCDMA RAN P7.0. Support for up to 12 carriers per RBS is introduced.

This license applies to RBS equipped with RUW or RRUW radio units. In case of an RBS configuration with a mix of, for example RRUW and RRU22 the license will only apply to the RRUW subset of the configuration.

The licensed level must be equal to, or exceed, the number of carriers in the RBS.

Number of 60W power amplifiers in RRUW/RUW based RBS

This license Number of 60W power amplifiers in RRU/RRUW based RBS is new in WCDMA RAN P7.0. With support for up to 12 power amplifiers per RBS.

This license applies to RBS equipped with RUW or RRUW radio units. In case of an RBS configuration with a mix of, for example RRUW and RRU22 the license will only apply to the RRUW subset of the configuration.

The licensed level must be equal to, or exceed, the number of power amplifiers configured to 60W nominal output power in the RBS.

The parameter maxTotalOutputPower is introduced to set the nominal output power of each RRU/RRUW. Each time a power amplifier is configured with a certain nominal output power the setting is compared with the licensed level. Configuring 60W requires that licensed 60W capacity is left. Configuring 40W requires that either licensed 40W capacity or licensed 60W capacity is left, although the 40W capacity will be used first in this case. Configuring 20W requires no license.

This license is closely related to the licenses NumberOf40WPowerAmplifiers FAJ 121 1347, and Number of Carriers in RUW and RRUW based RBS, FAJ 121 1344.

Number of 40W power amplifiers in RRUW/RUW based RBS

This license Number of 40W power amplifiers in RRU/RRUW based RBS is new in WCDMA RAN P7.0. With support for up to 12 power amplifiers per RBS.

This license applies to RBS equipped with RUW or RRUW radio units. In case of an RBS configuration with a mix of , for example RRUW and RRU22 the license will only apply to the RRUW subset of the configuration.

The licensed level must be equal to, or exceed, the number of power amplifiers configured to 40W nominal output power in the RBS.

The parameter maxTotalOutputPower is introduced to set the nominal output power of each RRU/RRUW. Each time a power amplifier is configured with a certain nominal output power the setting is compared with the licensed level. Configuring 60W requires that licensed 60W capacity is left. Configuring 40W requires that either licensed 40W capacity or licensed 60W capacity is left, although the 40W capacity will be used first in this case. Configuring 20W requires no license.

This license is closely related to the licenses NumberOf60WPowerAmplifiers FAJ 121 1348, and Number of Carriers in RUW and RRUW based RBS, FAJ 121 1344.

IF/IRAT Mobility on HSPA This feature introduces support for Inter-frequency and Inter-RAT mobility for RAB

combinations mapped on DCH/HS and EUL/HS, that is: - IRAT and IF handover evaluation using compressed mode measurements - IRAT handover (IRATHO), IRAT Cell Change (IRATCC) and Inter-frequency

handover (IFHO) execution. The existing algorithm to start preferred type of HO evaluation and compressed

mode measurements shall be applied for RAB combinations on HSPA channels. The parameters that control if GSM and/or IF handover is allowed shall be updated for the affected UeRc states.

For IFHO the target cell must have the same capabilities as used in the source configuration. A connection on EUL/HS can for example only be handed over to a cell that is capable of both EUL and HS. If the capabilities of the target cell do not match the current configuration in the source cell a down switch to DCH/HS or DCH/DCH is performed before the IFHO is executed.

The same signaling sequences as used today for IRATCC and IRATHO can be applied for HSPA connections. However, the use-case for IFHO needs to be updated in order to support the establishment of a new serving HS-DSCH/E-DCH radio link on the target frequency and at the same time perform a serving cell change to this radio link.

The feature is optional and controlled by a license key, FAJ 121 1106 – CXC 403 0022.

This feature will only consider compressed mode for 10 ms TTI EUL.

HSDPA and EUL Mobility

For HSDPA and EUL Mobility a number of use-cases are linked together using the same trigger. A few examples of 2- or 3 step procedures are given below:

- Event 1b or 1c may trigger a serving cell change followed by a RL Removal (if the HS/EUL serving cell is to be removed).

- Event 1c may trigger a serving cell change followed by a RL Replacement (if the HS/EUL serving cell is going to be replaced by a new EUL capable cell)

- Event 1c may trigger a serving cell change followed by a reconfiguration from EUL/HS to DCH/HS followed by a RL Replacement (if the HS/EUL serving cell is going to be replaced by a new non EUL capable cell and event 1d-RNC is triggered)

If a 2b or 3a Measurement report is received during this time it shall not be processed until all linked procedures using the same 1b or 1c trigger have been completed, i.e. the use-cases listed above shall not be interrupted by an IFHO or an IRAT HO/IRAT CC.

Once the linked procedures have been completed the event buffers shall be searched using the same priority order as specified in the design base for RAB combinations on DCH/DCH,
