3D Beamforming Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview

2 Overview

Based on the increasing traffic volume in densely populated urban areas, the capacity
requirements in next few years are predicted to increase threefold to sixfold, and the spectrum
resources in the 1.8 GHz to 2.6 GHz bands are so limited that they should be fully utilized.
This feature uses active antenna units (AAUs) to provide the Static Shared Beam (SSB)
function and to serve 8T8R cells. If multiple carriers are configured on the same AAU, it is
recommended that the same function (SSB or 8T8R cells) be used on all these carriers.
l SSB generates two beams on the vertical plane to serve two 4T4R cells at each 8T8R
AAU, as shown in Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1 SSB

l In each 8T8R cell, 8-antenna receive diversity is available in the uplink, and 4x2 or 4x4
MIMO is available in the downlink.

3D Beamforming Feature Parameter Description 3 SSB

3 SSB

3.1 Principles
SSB uses beamforming to generate two cells, inner and outer, at an AAU on the vertical
plane. The two cells operate on the same frequency. This function is used for capacity
expansion at hotspots. It is an option for operators that require capacity expansion but have no
additional frequencies available.
NOTE

This function is mainly used for downlink capacity expansion, for example, when there is a cell resource
shortage.

The RETSUBUNIT.TILT parameter is set to different values for different remote electrical
tilt (RET) subunits, allowing SSB to generate two beams on the vertical plane. The two beams
are used for the inner and outer cells, as shown in Figure 3-1.

Figure 3-1 SSB

If the PrbBalanceSw option of the CellAlgoSwitch.VmsSwitch parameter is selected, load


balancing between inner and outer cells is enabled. The CellVMS.VmsHoUeNumTh
parameter specifies the maximum number of UEs that can be handed over from a given cell
within 10s.

Issue 05 (2018-01-22) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 5


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
3D Beamforming Feature Parameter Description 3 SSB

For load balancing, the eNodeB instructs UEs that have just accessed the inner or outer cell to
perform intra-frequency measurements when both of the following conditions are met:
l The downlink physical resource block (PRB) usage of the serving cell is greater than the
value of the CellVMS.VmsPrbLoadTh parameter.
l The downlink PRB usage of the serving cell minus that of a neighboring cell is greater
than the value of the CellVMS.VmsPrbDiffTh parameter.
The eNodeB selects UEs that each meet both of the following conditions for load balancing:
l The UE reports intra-frequency handover event A3, the offset for which is equal to
IntraFreqHoGroup.IntraFreqHoA3Offset minus CellVMS.VmsA3Offset. For the
definition of event A3, see Overview of Mobility Management in Connected Mode
Feature Parameter Description.
l The PRB usage of the UE is greater than 2%.

3.2 Network Analysis

3.2.1 Benefits
The SSB function increases system capacity considerably in urban areas where there is
contiguous coverage. In a cell served by an eNodeB with a 2T2R 3-sector configuration, SSB
increases the average downlink cell traffic volume and average downlink UE throughput by
60%–100% when LOFD-001003 DL 4x2 MIMO and LOFD-001005 UL 4-Antenna Receive
Diversity are both enabled.
The increases are closely related to cell loads, whether the cells using SSB provide contiguous
coverage, and how UEs are distributed across inner and outer cells. The gains of this function
are higher if the cell load is higher, the cell coverage is more contiguous, and the percentage
of UEs in each inner cell is closer to 50%.
The increases are also affected by cell bandwidth. The inner and outer cells must have the
same bandwidth, in order not to affect channel calibration. When the available bandwidth is
less than 5 MHz, SSB works only at active ports on AAUs. A smaller available bandwidth
causes less accurate channel calibration and therefore fewer gains produced by this function.
This function is suitable for high-traffic scenarios in urban areas. It is recommended when the
busy-hour PRB usage of the cells is at least 50%. Do not use this feature when the inter-site
distance exceeds 500 m.

3.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
l User-perceived downlink throughput
In an eNodeB with a 2T2R 3-sector configuration, SSB may cause a decrease in user-
perceived throughput in idle periods (for example, when the PRB usage is less than 20%)
or when the inner- and outer-cell loads are imbalanced.
l Downlink peak data rate
In a cell served by an eNodeB with a 2T2R 3-sector configuration, SSB causes an
increase in the percentage of times rank 1 is reported and therefore a lower percentage of
UEs that achieve their peak data rates in the case of downlink 2x2 multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO). In addition, in the cells generated by SSB, the channel
correlation between antennas is higher than that in common 4T4R cells. As a result, UEs
cannot reach their expected peak data rates in the case of downlink 4x4 MIMO.
l Downlink coverage
On a network with non-contiguous coverage from cells generated by using SSB, if SSB
causes cell power to be lower than neighboring 2T2R cell power, the local cell coverage
shrinks.
l Other network performance indicators
In an eNodeB with a 2T2R 3-sector configuration, SSB causes an increase in the number
of cells and a decrease in the SINR. It may result in a lower handover success rate, more
RRC connection reestablishments, and a higher service drop rate than the performance
indicators before SSB is used.

3.3.3 Hardware
Base Station Models
Only 3900 or 5900 series base stations are compatible with this function.

Boards
The baseband processing units (BBPs) must be UBBPe4 boards. Note that the two 4T4R cells
created by SSB are automatically set up on the same BBP, and they together account for a
single unit of 8T8R cell capacity of the BBP. If the two 4T4R cells are manually bound to
different BBPs, the cells will fail to be set up. When there are 4T4R and 8T8R cells on a BBP,
the cell capacity of the BBP is consumed on a per 8T8R cell basis.

RF Modules
AAU5972s must be used.
AAU5972s in the 1.8 GHz band contain both radio and antenna modules. Power supplies
must be directly connected to the AAUs, and those AAUs must be connected to the BBUs of
eNodeBs through CPRI optical cables. AAU5972s in other bands contain only antenna
modules. They must be connected to external radio units. These AAUs supply power to the

Issue 05 (2018-01-22) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 10


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
3D Beamforming Feature Parameter Description 3 SSB

radio units, which are then connected to BBUs through CPRI optical cables. AISG cables do
not need to be connected to the AAUs. For details about how to install AAU5972s, see
AAU5972 Installation Guide.
Typically, each eNodeB requires three AAUs, each of which will serve two cells (one inner
and one outer) for SSB. Each eNodeB will serve a total of six cells.
When AAU5972s are used, the configured power per channel for inner and outer cells must
meet the following requirements:
l For AAU5972s in the 1.8 GHz band, the configured power per channel for each of the
inner and outer cells must be less than or equal to 30 W. Typically, inner and outer cells
are assigned the same power: 4 x 30 W. The typical power configuration for a 20 MHz
cell is that CRS power is 16.9 dBm, PA is –3, and PB is 1.
l For AAU5972s in the other bands, the configured power per channel for each of the
inner and outer cells must be less than or equal to 40 W. Typically, inner and outer cells
are assigned the same power: 4 x 40 W. The typical power configuration for a 20 MHz
cell is that CRS power is 18.2 dBm, PA is –3, and PB is 1.

3.3.4 Others
For each eNodeB, three cells will change to six cells on two layers, with each cell covering a
120-degree arc, as illustrated in Figure 3-2.

Figure 3-2 Network change

To adapt to this change, the following network configurations must be re-planned:


l Neighboring cells
The increase in the number of cells results in more neighbor relationships. The total
number of neighbor relationships for each cell may reach the maximum, requiring
adjustments to the existing neighbor relationships.
l Physical random access channel (PRACH) root sequence indexes and physical cell
identifiers (PCIs)
The increase in the number of cells causes PRACH root sequence indexes and PCIs to be
reused a larger number of times with less distance between cells involved in the reuse.
As a result, the probabilities of PRACH root sequence index conflicts and PCI conflicts
rise, calling for optimization of the reuse.
l Angles between beams
It is recommended that the angle between the downtilts of the inner- and outer-cell
beams be 6 degrees. To enlarge the inner-cell coverage area, reduce the downtilt angle of
the inner-cell beam so that the angle between the beams decreases.
The re-planning of these configurations should also consider the reference signal (RS) power
per port before and after SSB is enabled:
l If the RS power remains stable, SSB has little impact on network planning because the
downtilt angle of each outer cell will be the same as that of each original cell by default.

Issue 05 (2018-01-22) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 11


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
3D Beamforming Feature Parameter Description 3 SSB

Network planning will focus on PCIs, neighboring cells, and PRACH root sequence
indexes.
l If the RS power decreases, network planning and optimization should consider downtilt
angles, angles between beams, RS power, and the settings of PA and PB.

MML Command Example for Parameter Optimization


Unbalanced UE distribution or cell-level PRB usage between the inner and outer cells may
limit the gains produced by this feature. If this is the case, use either of the following methods
to increase feature gains:
l Adjust the downtilt angles for the cells by setting the RETSUBUNIT.TILT parameter.
//Setting downtilt angles for the RET antennas (Typically, downtilt angle for

MOD RETSUBUNIT:DEVICENO=0,SUBUNITNO=1,TILT=120;

l Enable load balancing between inner and outer cells.

3.4.1.3 Using the CME


For detailed operations, see CME-based Feature Configuration.

3.4.2 Activation Verification


l Run the DSP CELL command. If the inner and outer cells are available, SSB has taken
effect.
l Observe the following counters:
– L.HHO.IntraFreq.Load.ExecSuccOut
– L.HHO.IntraFreq.Load.ExecAttOut
If either of them produces a non-zero value, load balancing between inner and outer cells
has taken effect.

3.4.3 Network Monitoring


l Cell traffic volume increases.
Calculate the percent increase in the traffic volume when PRB usage remains unchanged.
You are advised to observe the increase using a scatter diagram, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Traffic volume in the original cell = L.Thrp.bits.DL
Traffic volume after SSB is used = Sum of the L.Thrp.bits.DL counter values for the
inner and outer cells

Figure 3-3 Example scatter diagram of PRB usage and traffic volume

l Average UE throughput increases.


Calculate the percent increase in the average UE throughput when cell traffic volume
remains unchanged. You are advised to observe the increase using a scatter diagram.
Average UE throughput in the original cell = (L.Thrp.bits.DL –
L.Thrp.bits.DL.LastTTI)/L.Thrp.Time.DL.RmvLastTTI
Average UE throughput after SSB is used = (Sum of L.Thrp.bits.DL of the inner and
outer cells – Sum of L.Thrp.bits.DL.LastTTI of the inner and outer cells)/Sum of
L.Thrp.Time.DL.RmvLastTTI of the inner and outer cells
l Other aspects
– The average downlink PRB usage of a single cell may decrease, while the eNodeB
traffic volume increases.
– The percentage of times rank 1 is reported (indicated by L.ChMeas.RI.Rank1) will
increase, resulting in a lower probability that any single UE will achieve the peak
data rate.
– The increase in the number of cells results in more cell edge areas and therefore
more handovers. The handover success rate may decrease, and the number of RRC
connection reestablishments and the service drop rate may rise.

3D Beamforming Feature Parameter Description 4 8T8R Cells

4 8T8R Cells

4.1 Principles
Each AAU can be configured to serve one or more 8T8R cells. The cell bandwidth must be at
least 5 MHz. In these cells, 8-antenna receive diversity is available in the uplink, and 4x2 or
4x4 MIMO is available in the downlink. Transmission mode 9 (TM9) is currently not
supported. For details about MIMO, see MIMO Feature Parameter Description.
Uplink 8-antenna receive diversity requires at least eight receive channels. The eight receive
channels can receive a single UE's signals from different directions to improve reception
quality.
The numbers of receive and transmit channels for individual cells are specified by the
Cell.TxRxMode parameter.

4.2 Network Analysis

4.2.1 Benefits
Uplink 8-antenna receive diversity in 8T8R cells offers the following benefits over uplink 2-
antenna receive diversity.
Gains Impact Factor

The average uplink UE throughput increases For a single UE, the farther it is from the
by 10% to 70%. cell center, the higher the gains are.
For a cell, the more the cell-edge UEs, the
higher the gains.

4.3.3 Hardware

Base Station Models


Only 3900 or 5900 series base stations are compatible with this function.

Boards
The BBPs must be UBBPe4 boards.

RF Modules
AAU5972s must be used.

AAU5972s in the 1.8 GHz band contain both radio and antenna modules. Power supplies
must be directly connected to the AAUs, and those AAUs must be connected to the BBUs of
eNodeBs through CPRI optical cables. AAU5972s in other bands contain only antenna
modules. They must be connected to external radio units. These AAUs supply power to the
radio units, which are then connected to BBUs through CPRI optical cables. For details about
how to install AAU5972s, see AAU5972 Installation Guide.

The following are the constraints on the maximum power per channel in AAU5972s:
l For AAU5972s in the 1.8 GHz band, the power must not exceed 47.7 dBm. (The
maximum power configuration is 4 x 60 W. For example, CRS power is 19.9 dBm, PA is
–3, and PB is 1 for a 20 MHz cell.)
l For AAU5972s in other bands, the power must not exceed 49 dBm. (The maximum
power configuration is 4 x 80 W. For example, CRS power is 21.2 dBm, PA is –3, and
PB is 1 for a 20 MHz cell.)
