Location of the CME

The CME is a part of the OSS solution, and is the core of the integrated configuration solution for multi-mode

radio network provided by Huawei. In addition, the CME supports typical scenarios of UMTS and GSM networks,

such as initial site deployment, network capacity expansion, BTS swapping, and routine configuration

adjustment. The CME11.0 provides a solution for the unified management configuration of the GSM/UMTS/LTE (GUL). For the GSM network, the BSC6900 working with the CME provides the GUI data configuration function. For the UMTS network, the CME is an evolution of the WRAN CME V100R008. For the LTE, the CME works with the eRAN2.0/eRAN2.1 and provides functions such as site deployment and

routine maintenance. The CME11.0 supports the SRAN6.0 and the downward overall solution.

Advantages of the CME

GUL Multi-mode Configuration

The configuration on the GSM, UMTS, and the LTE is synchronized and the configuration consistency on the GSM, UMTS, and the LTE is checked to

ensure that the GUL resources are centrally managed. In the BSC6900, the GSM, UMTS, LTE, and MBTS use the unified device panel to implement the centralized management of the GSM/UMTS devices.

GUI Enhancement

The TOPO site deployment, BTS networking, TRXs of each cell, and timeslot allocation can be viewed in GUI mode on the LMT of the BSC6000.

Therefore, the BTS configuration and resource allocation can be displayed clearly.

Advantages of the CME (Continued)

Improvement on Operation Efficiency The network-level configuration is centralized.

Single BSC multiple BSC Configuration of a single BTS Configuration of BTSs in batches through the templates

The BTS swapping within a BSC and that between the BSCs can be implemented. In addition, the data

adjustment of neighboring cells can be implemented automatically, saving time for script preparation by

network optimization engineers. The files configured in offline mode dynamically take effect, improving the file configuration in offline mode.

On the LMT, DAT files configured in offline mode can take effect only after the BSC is reset. In this

case, services are greatly affected. On the CME, after files are configured in offline mode, corresponding MML scripts are generated so

that these files can take effect when the MML scripts are delivered dynamically. In this case, the BSC

is not reset and services are not affected. Compared with the LMT of BSC6000, the CME supports the multi-user concurrent configuration in online

mode. The data browsing capability and retrieval capability on the entire network are greatly improved.

Security The CME provides the function of data check on the entire network before data is activated, including the

check for completeness, redundancy, and consistency. The CME supports the data rollback in key scenarios. The CME supports the parameter comparison. That is, the CME compares the data that has taken effect

and the template to check whether data configuration is correct.

Advantages of the CME (Continued)

Functions of SingleRAN6.0 Working with the CME MBTS data is configured through the GUI or exporting the negotiation data.

The menu entrance is unified and the operations are simple. In addition, the GU/GL multi-mode MBTS can be created

integrally, using the method for single-mode MBTS configuration. This ensures the consistency of common parameters in G/U or G/L mode.

Capacity of a single-mode MBTS is expanded. A single-mode MBTS can be expanded to a dual-mode MBTS in any mode from GSM, UMTS, or LTE. This ensures the consistency of common parameters in G/U or G/L mode.

Capacity of a dual-mode MBTS is expanded. A dual-mode MBTS can be expanded to a triple-mode MBTS in any mode from G/U, U/L, or G/L. This ensures the consistency of common parameters in G/U /L mode.

The MBTS uses the unified device panel to configure the dual-mode device panel so that data can take effect on both G/U

and G/L side simultaneously. The MBTS device data is configured intuitively. The MBTS device boards in G/U, G/L, and G/U/L mode can be displayed in a unified way. The configuration parameters of MBTS common boards are modified.

Parameters of the MBTS common boards are configured in a unified way. Parameters of common boards are configured intuitively. Parameters of common boards in G/U, G/L, and G/U/L mode are displayed in a unified way. This ensures the consistency of common board parameters in G/U, G/L, and G/U/L mode.

MBTS templates are managed in a unified way. The consistency check result is enhanced. The list of MBTSs to be deployed is exported. The dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) is supported.

Triple Area

Triple area: current area, planned area, and fallback area

Current area

Current area is a network data mirroring area used to save the configuration data of the live network.

Data in the current area is read-only and cannot be modified directly to ensure the security of the

network.

Only one current area is available for a network system.

Through the CME, the data of the live network can be periodically or automatically synchronized to the

current area. Alternatively, users can manually synchronize the data of the live network to the current

area.

Planned area

Planned area is a data planning area that is created with the data of a certain NE system.

Users can perform data planning in the planned area. Different users can create their respective

planned areas. The planned areas are independent of each other.

After implementing data planning in the planned area, users can export the generated data scripts.

After executing the data scripts to the NE, users can make the data take effect.

Fallback area

The rollback command scripts are generated in the fallback area to perform rollback.

When configuration adjustment effects are not ideal, the CME can quickly roll back to the original

configuration status.

Currently, the CME supports the rollback on the GSM side in only three scenarios: RNP import,

modification of radio algorithm parameters in batches, ARFCN import. In addition, the CME supports

the rollback in all adjustment scenarios on the UMTS side in versions later than BSC6900

V900R012C01 (UMTS only). For LTE, CME supports the rollback in all adjustment scenarios..

Version Compatibility

M2000 The recommended matching version is M2000 V200R011.

BSC The recommended matching version is BSC6900 V900R013, BSC6900 V900R012, and BSC6900 V900R011, which can

provide configuration capability on transmission, device, and radio parameters. The matching BSC6000 only provides the capability for radio layer and BTS swapping that works with the GBSS CME

V100R005. The matching BSC6800 and BSC6810 are used only for the BTS swapping crossing specified versions.

GBTS The GBTS does not directly match the CME. In this case, the CME matches the GBTS versions that are supported by the

BSC6900 versions that match the CME. NodeB

The NodeB versions that work with the CME are the NodeB versions that work with the BSC6900/RNC. The CME only matches the baseline versions of the NodeB, such as SPC100, SPC 200, and SPC 300 and their non-

baseline versions. The interface configured for NodeB products remains unchanged. For example, if the CME works with

SPC 100, then the CME works with versions such as SPC1XX or SPH1XX. The following are principles of the CME to release the NodeB components.

For NodeB versions released after a CME version is released, the matching components are required and are released

with the NodeB version. When the component is used, refer to the Release Notes of the component to confirm the

CME version working with the component. The preceding components will be contained in the following CME version.

LTE The eRAN 2.1/eRAN 2.0 is recommended.

MBTS The MBTS versions working with the CME depend on the versions of LTE, NodeB, and GBTS working with the MBTS.

Data Configuration Method — Configuration Express

The configuration express function provides a method for editing data of a NE based on the table, depending on service

requirements. The configuration express function is similar to the general configuration function. The difference is that

the configuration express function is more convenient for some service requirements. The configuration express function varies with supported objects and can be divided into several types, such as

BSC/radio express, NodeB/BTS express, cell configuration express, and neighboring cell configuration express.

General Operation Procedure — Integrated Version

0. Get data from the live network to current area Current area is stored in M2000. Every user of one M2000 has the same current area. This action is called Synchronize NE.

1. Create a planned area Planned area is stored in M2000. Each user has a planned area. Copy NE data from the current area.

2. Data configuration in planned area Create, delete, move or modify BSC, BTS, or NodeB. Adjust parameters.

3. Scripts Check the data conflict between the planned area and the current area. Generate MML/XML scripts. Activate scripts in NEs by the script executor.

4. AVC (Attribute Value Change) After the scripts are activated, the related NE sends an AVC message to the

current area, indicating the changes in the data configuration on the live

network. The AVC message is also reported for changes in the data configuration due to

other causer except for activated scripts. The synchronization of data between the planned area and the current area is

triggered in firm real time.

Data Flow

Three areas: live network, current area, and

planned area. Interaction of data flow

Planned area Current area: Data

modification in the planned area does not

affect data in the current area. Planned area live network: Data

modification in the planned area takes

effect on the live network by generating

and activating data scripts. Before the

changed data is delivered, data on the live

network is not affected. Live network current area/planned

area: Data modification on the live

network will be updated in the current

area but cannot be updated in the

planned area. Current area planned area: By

creating/synchronizing data in the planned

area, some data in the current area is

synchronized to the planned area. Current area live network: Data in the

Synchronization in the Current Area

Synchronization mechanism Full synchronization: All configuration data is uploaded from the NE to

the current area and the data previously saved in the current area is overwritten completely. The history data of the current area cannot be saved.

Differentiated synchronization: The data modified in the MOC tables of the NE is uploaded to the current area. Therefore, the synchronization efficiency is improved. The incremental synchronization is always used for daily operations.

The incremental synchronization is supported since BSC6900.

Synchronization method The data synchronization can be performed periodically, automatically,

or manually. The data synchronization of the current area is performed in firm real time.

The data synchronization is performed automatically in the following cases:

The CME receives the AVC message reported by the NE and

receives no other messages within two minutes. A BSC is created on the M2000 and data synchronization has

been complete. Data synchronization has been performed on the NodeB or TGW

on the M2000. The script data has been successfully activated.

Creating a Planned Area

Planning a planned areaBased on the data in the current area, multiple planned areas can

be created and a network can be planned concurrently.

The data conflicts between the planned areas can be found only

when the data in the planned areas takes effect on the live network.

If the data conflicts between the planned areas occur, the data in

the planned areas fails to take effect and are mutually overwritten.

As a result, the operation of the NE is affected.

To prevent the data conflicts between the planned areas, data

planning engineers should rationally plan the data in the planned

areas (such as cell index or TRX index) to ensure that the data in

the planned areas is not mutually overlapped.

Creating a planned area: copy the data of NEs from the current

area to the planned area.

Check for Data Conflict

Data conflict can be divided into the following types: Warning: Data conflict of this type may lead to activation failures.

Users add a configuration object in the planned area but the object has been available on the live network.

Users modify a configuration object in the planned area but the object has been deleted on the live network.

Users delete a configuration object in the planned area but the object has been deleted on the live network.

Note that the data conflict is not checked between objects that have parent-child relations.

Hint: Data conflict of this type occurs because a user modifies data in the planned area but the data has

been modified by another user and has been updated to the current area. Whether activation failures occur

depends on configuration rules on the live network.

During the data configuration, users can check the data modification on the live network

through the AVC message and adjust data configuration in time.

After the data configuration is complete, users need to check whether data is conflicted. Compare user configuration data in the planned area with configuration data of the live network in the

current area to locate conflicted data.

Users can adjust configuration data in the planned area based on the check result to ensure that the

subsequent activation is successful.

Generation of Scripts

The CME supports two types of MML/XML file: differentiated data MML/XML file and full data

MML/XML file. BSC and BTS: MML commands will be generated; NodeB and eNodeB: XML file will be generated.

Differentiated data MML/XML scripts: MML/XML configuration scripts are generated based on modified

contents. This type of command is generated during the configuration of the planned area and is related to the

configuration process. This type of command supports the exporting of modified contents separately by exporting multiple

differentiated scripts in the same planned area. This type of command supports all configuration operations and is applicable to the scenarios such as

parameter modification, radio network planning, and optimization. Full data MML/XML scripts: MML configuration scripts are generated based on objects.

This type of command supports the exporting of all configuration scripts based on the object selected by

users– The exported objects include:– BSC data, including data on the BSC, equipment, transmission, and radio network– BTS data, including data on the BTS equipment, transmission, and radio network– NodeB and eNodeB data, including all data of site.

This type of command is generated according to the data in the planned area and is not related to the

configuration process. This type of command is applicable to special scenarios such as initial network deployment or site

deployment.

Activation of Scripts

Activation Type Run the Bulk_Configuration command in

batches. The efficiency for scripts to take effect is high. The entire script needs to be modified after the

script activation fails.

Run the MML command one by one. The efficiency for scripts to take effect is low. The user interaction is large in number. A single command is modified after the script

activation fails.

Activation Methods Timed activation: The configuration script is activated at the time specified by the user. Stopped once an error occurs: The script activation is stopped immediately after an error occurs during a

command execution. In this case, the script activation resumes after the command is modified or skipped. Skipping the error command: When error occurs during a command execution for activating the script, the

error command is skipped and the script activation resumes from the next command. Pre-activation: The NE creates a simulative digital environment for the M2000 to perform the pre-

activation function. In this case, the M2000 can confirm whether data in the configuration files to be

activated takes effect.

Site DeploymentNetwork Expansion and Adjustment

Description

Network expansion and adjustment scenarios: Users export the current configuration data (BSC: .ZIP file, by using the Web LMT (EXP CFGSYNFILE; eNodeB: export from M2000). The exported data will be imported to the CME.

Users start the client software before using the CME to configure data.

Site deployment scenario: GU: The CME provides the basic unit of data configuration files (ZIP files) based on NEs. Users can import a ZIP file to create an NE. They can also reconfigure an NE based on this file. LTE: create site using GUI or sumary.Network expansion and adjustment: Users create an NE on the CME and import the corresponding NE data obtained from the live network.

Users reconfigure the data of an NE by using the CME client. The procedure is the same as that by using the integrated CME.

Users check the correctness of data through the consistency check function provided by the CME.

After data configuration and data check are complete, users export the MML/XML scripts for activating data on the live network.

Users activate data by using the Web LMT. (Note: The frequency refarming scripts exported from the standalone CME must be activated through the script executor provided by the integrated CME.)

Data in the Standalone Version

BSC/eNodeB Data NodeB Data Configuration Data

Source BSC: 1. Users can export the BSC data by running the EXP

CFGSYNFILE command after logging in to the BSC6900 through

the Web LMT.

2. An example of minimal data is provided in the installation

directory of the CME.

LTE: export using LMT or M2000

NodeB data is exported through

the LMT or M2000 of the

NodeB.

Configuration data is transmitted among standalone

versions and is generated by choosing Data

Management > Export Data.

Content BCP files of a single BSC

eNodeB: XML file

XML files of a single NodeB Compressed data packages in standalone versions

for one or more selected BSCs (including all NodeBs

under the BSCs)

Default name BSC: CMECfgSyncView.zip

eNodeB: LMT.xml or M2000.xml

NodeBCfg.xml NEData.zip

Full Data XML Scripts Activation

Scripts generated by CME could be activated in many ways: Remote Commissioning on the M2000; Local Commissioning Using a USB Storage Device in Combination with Remote Commissioning

on the M2000; Local eNodeB Commissioning on the LMT .

Refer to base station Commissioning Guide

Operation Steps of Remote Commissioning on the M2000; In CME, create site by GUI or summary importing; In CME, Export Auto Deployment Configuration Data:

• After exporting from CME, user needs to create commissioning tasks, upload data, version file etc.

On M2000: Start commissioning task. M2000 will commission NodeB/eNodeB automatically.

Full Data XML Scripts of NodeB and eNodeB could also be activated by MML: On Web LMT, using command: DLD CFGFILE, ACT CFGFILE to download and activate full data

XML scripts Configuration adjustment : the incremental xml scripts generated by CME could not be activated

using Web LMT.

Incremental Scripts Activation: Method 1 : Scripts Executor

The Incremental Scripts generated by CME could be activated using Scripts Executor. Scripts Executor is embedded in integrated CME. The difference between execution in standalone and integrated CME is:

For standalone CME, the incremental scripts generated by standalone CME needs to be imported to integrated CME( Open scripts executor, create project, upload incremental scripts, and activate projects manually).,

For integrated CME, it could jump to scripts executor and activate project automatically after exporting incremental scripts.

Frequency refarming scenario: The verification of commands are different from batch commands. When exporting incremental scripts, if scripts are service affected, the CME will pop out

messages for user to confirm the operations. Operation steps on integrated CME:

Incremental Scripts Activation : Method 2 : MML Commands

This is only for GU BSC and BTS . The incremental scripts for

NodeB and eNodeB are XML file which could not be downloaded

and activated by MML commands. Batch Processing

Scripts are executed through the Batch window on the WEB LMT. Multiple execution methods are provided for a better man-machine

interaction. The efficiency for delivering scripts to take effect is low.

Batch Configuration Scripts are delivered in batches by running the RUN BATCHFILE

command on the WEB LMT. The efficiency for delivering scripts to take effect is high.

Script Executor Scripts are uploaded to the script executor provided by the integrated

CME. The script executor is used in the frequency replanning scenario and

the method for checking commands in the scripts is different from that

in the batch configuration and batch processing.

Consuming Time in Typical Scenarios 4489 scripts are executed during the swapping of five BTSs, including

adjustment of network optimization data. Based on the preceding condition, it is calculated that the swapping of

50 BTSs takes about two hours and six hours respectively in batch

configuration and batch processing modes.

ModeConsuming Time (Unit: Second)

Batch Configuration 647

Batch Processing 1767
