LTE4 – Multi Operator Core Network
It’s a 3GPP standard for LTE network sharing by operators
▪ Feature LTE4 - Multi-Operator Core Network enables Sharing the
radio network up to 2 operators
▪ eNB radio frequency resources - spectrum

▪ Flexi multi-radio BTS equipment
▪ Transport network
▪ Feature introduce furtherPlmnIdL:
▪ New Object for the second Operator

With the feature LTE4 Multi-Operator Core Network
(MOCN)
▪ 2 Core Network can be connected to eNB
▪ Content of SIB1 does not only depend on database configuration but

also on the status of S1-MME links associated with Primary and Further
PLMN IDs
▪ cellReservedForOperatorUse = [notReserved/reserved]
▪ cellBarred = [notBarred/barred]
▪ plmn-IdentityList = [Primary PLMN ID, Further PLMN IDs]
▪ All enabled BTS features are available for each operator
▪ SIB1 message carries PLMN IDs of both Operators. The amount of PLMN
IDs of each Operator can be different (1 for Op.A and 5 for Op.B or 2 for
Op.A and 3 for Op.B or any other case) however in total up to 6 PLMN
IDs can be defined per cell
10 © 2018 Nokia
PLMN Selection in MOCN
▪ Each core network operator is identified by a unique PLMN ID
which consists of mobile country code (MCC) and mobile network
code (MNC).
▪ The radio network broadcasts the PLMN IDs of the available core
network operators in system information.
▪ The UE decodes the system information received from the shared
radio network and takes the PLMN IDs into account in network and
cell selection.
▪ The UE selects the PLMN ID and creates the RRC connection with
the eNB.
▪ The Attach Request message is sent to the chosen network
operator.
▪ The MME verifies that the UE is allowed to attach to the network
and according to the result, either accepts or rejects the attach
11 © 2018 Nokia
LTE2 – S1 Flex
LTE2 – S1 Flex
▪ S1-Flex feature used together with the MOCN allows to connect
one eNB to several MMEs which belongs to different Core Network
operators
▪ originally in S1-Flex feature all MMEs must belong to one operator
only
▪ in maximum configuration 16 MMEs can be connected to single eNB
▪ If more than one MME is configured per CN operator, load
balancing functionality is applied between all MMEs of this
operator

LTE1382 – Cell Resource Groups
LTE1382 – Cell Resource Group
▪ Provides PDSCH, PUSCH resources reservation at cell level, among up
to 4 Cell Resource
Groups (CRG) → each CRG represents one or more PLMN Ids
▪ reservation is realized by assigning a complete TTI to one of the Cell Resource
Groups
▪ selection of a CRG for scheduling in a TTI is done by Weighted Round Robin algorithm
according to a configured share
▪ split of resources is configurable by plmnGroupShare parameter
▪ Introduces also reservation of Admission Control resources:
▪ Admission Control resources in the cell are distributed between the Operators
according to configurable share (also plmnGroupShare is used)
For example with 50/50 split:

• each Operator has assured AC
capacity in terms of number of
Active UEs, DRBs, QCI1 users
• each Operator can use all PRBs
in every second TTI
13 © 2018 Nokia
▪ Upon introduction of Cell Resource Groups feature
Admission Control thresholds are divided between CRGs
according to plmnGroupShare value
▪ configuration of Admission Control is still based on the existing
LNCEL
parameters (e.g. maxNumActUe, maxNumActDrb,
maxGbrTrafficLimit)
with no dedicated parameters per Operator
Default values of AC: Resource split:
▪ note that maxNumRrc is not subject to split according to CRG maxNumRrc = 300 plmnGroupShare1 = 40%
feature maxNumActUe = 300 plmnGroupShare2 = 60%
as UE PLMN Id is not known at this stage maxNumActDrb = 600
maxGbrTrafficLimit = 75
▪ allocation of AC capacity for particular Operator is done
Common for both CRGs maxNumRrc = 300
based on the
share defined by plmnGroupShare parameter Operator 1 (CRG1) Operator 2 (CRG2)
▪ e.g. number of Active UEs reserved for CRG1 is calculated as: maxNumActUe = 120 maxNumActUe = 180
maxNumActDrb = 240 maxNumActDrb = 360
LNCEL:maxNumActUe × plmnGroupShareCRG1 maxGbrTrafficLimit = 30 maxGbrTrafficLimit = 45
▪ note that maximum number of Emergency Sessions is also
subject to
the resource split (addEmergencySessions ×
plmnGroupShareCRG1)
14 © 2018 Nokia
▪ Reservation can be for PDSCH and PUSCH resources for the Operators
▪ LNCEL parameter cellResourceSharingMode defines whether resource reservation applies to both PDSCH and PUSCH
(cellResourceSharingMode = DLandUL) or only to PDSCH (cellResourceSharingMode = DLonly)
▪ Resource reservation is realized by assigning a complete subframe to one of the CRGs having data to
transmit according to a WRR algorithm
▪ if a CRG has been selected for scheduling but it has no data for transmission, it is skipped → in such case other CRG
(with data) is selected for transmission in this TTI
▪ note that in a single TTI, only one CRG can be scheduled i.e. even if CRG selected for scheduling cannot use all PRBs,
those remains unused
▪ the only exceptions to that rule are done for Random Access procedure and for UL retransmission i.e. UEs are scheduled
as without the feature, then remaining resources are assigned according to the feature
The diagram shows the behavior of the feature under

ideal conditions i.e. each CRG has data to transmit in
each TTI selected for this CRG.
Following share is configured: CRG1=50%, CRG2=30%,
CRG3=20%

LTE1982 Additional PM-counters for MOCN-network
Counter name Description

SUM_RRC_CONN_UE_PLMN For each PLMN, to which a UE can be connected, a PLMN-specific counter (PLMN-ID)
(M8038C0) provides the sum of sampled values for measuring the number of simultaneously RRC-
Connected UEs, which are connected to this PLMN.
#LTE RAN Sharing The counter DENOM_RRC_CONN_UE_PLMN can be used by NetAct as a denominator to
calculate the average number of RRC-connected UEs per PLMN via
SUM_RRC_CONN_UE_PLMN/DENOM_RRC_CONN_UE_PLMN.
Notes: The UE informs the eNB during RRC connection establishment to which PLMN the
UE is connected. The PLMN may be changed during handover.
Trigger event: This counter is updated after each sampling interval (1 sec) with the
sample taken from the number of UEs in RRC_CONNECTED state, which is connected to a
specific PLMN (PLMN-ID).
Granularity: 1 sec

interface in downlink for UEs, which are connected to this PLMN.
#LTE RAN Sharing Notes: Only PDCP SDUs for user data are taken into account; PDCP SDUs for signaling
data are not taken into account. The UE informs the eNB during RRC connection
establishment to which PLMN the UE is connected. The PLMN may be changed during

eUu interface in downlink for UEs, which are connected to this PLMN.
#LTE RAN Sharing Notes: Only PDCP SDUs for signaling data are taken into account; PDCP SDUs for user
