Base band processing units – general info

Base band units of Flexi and Ultra BTS product line:


• Flexi WCDMA System Module (FSM)
– Used in Flexi Node B
– 2 FSMs are allowed in maximum in the NodeB
– Consists of FSP cards (Functional Signal Processing unit)
– CE (Channel Element) is basic processing unit

• Wideband Signal Processing unit (WSP)


– Used in UltraSite and MetroSite NodeB
– Max No of WSPs per NodeB depends on its type (18 WSPs in maximum)
– CE is basic processing unit

Both base band units provide Rx and Tx channel processing (scrambling


and descrambling, interleaving UL/DL, spreading and despreading, channel
coding and decoding)

Main changes compared to FSMB and FSMC/D

• RU10 delivers new system modules FSMC and FSMD, which


are more efficient from the baseband allocation perspective
• Main enhancements via new HW
– Maximum capacity is higher, with FSMD much higher
– R99 baseband allocation with 384 kbps is lowered from 16 to 12 CEs
– HSDPA allocation is lower
▪ Shared HSDPA scheduler for BB efficiency for FSMB 80 CE and for
FSMC/D 72 CEs (Note: In RU10 shared HSDPA with FSMB enables 48
users/LCG and with FSMC/D 64 users/LCG
▪ Dedicated HSDPA scheduler with 64 users/cell (1+1+1), FSMB 240 CEs
and FSMC/D 216 CEs
– HSUPA allocation is lower
▪ To meet the maximum number of users (60 users/LCG) FSMB =240 CEs
and FSMC/D 144 CEs

HSUPA
General information
• HSUPA activation requires a "fixed pool" of 8 CE when activating the
feature.
• BTS Resource Manager can dynamically allocate additional BB resources
for HSUPA.
– Depending on the total amount of free available CE (#licenses and installed
HW capacity) and the traffic load,
• A max. of 128 CE in UltraSite and 160 CE in Flexi BTS can be utilized by
HSUPA.
– In case of conflict with R99 RT or NRT traffic needs, BTS Resource manager
will reduce the amount of BB resources available for HSUPA.
• HSUPA user can reach max 2.0 Mbps
• HSUPA requires HSDPA for DL
• In addition to the CE consumption for HSDPA and HSUPA activation, 1
CE for signaling is required per user.
• Flexi BTS Rel2 HW HSUPA dimensioning: to be defined
– Note: Softer HO overhead is included in the CE dimensioning table (Table
3), similarly as with Rel99 DCH

• UEs Peak Throughput depends on how many • Example: to get 4.2 Mbps combined (of
simultaneous UEs there is in each HSUPA all UEs) L1 throughput with 12 users, 3
resource step at a time: HSUPA resource steps are needed i.e.
• 1-2 UEs in one HSUPA resource step: Resource steps 1-3 (32 CE + 24 CE + 24
2 Mbps peak rate per UE CE = 80 CE)
• 3-4 UEs in one HSUPA resource step:
1.4 Mbps peak rate per UE
• 5-8 UEs in one HSUPA resource step:
384 kbps - <1.4 Mbps peak rate per UE

RU10 provides an extension and changes:
• up to 60 users
• L1 throughput up to 12.6 Mbps
• No <1.4 Mbps used
• No reservation (8 CEs) when HSUPA activated
For internal use • Minimum reservation means 1-4 users and 1.4 Mbps

• Improvements in Rel2 HW vs. Rel1 HW in RU10:
– Both Shared Scheduler for Baseband Efficiency and Cell Dedicated -scheduler
needs only 72 CE (80 CE with FSMB)
– Shared Scheduler for Baseband Efficiency: 14.4 Mbps peak rate (10.8 Mbps with

HSUPA improvements in RU10


- Rel1 HW (FSMB)
• HSUPA fixed allocation is 0 CE
– In RAS06 when HSUPA is activated an 8 CE fixed reservation is done

• Number of HSUPA UE per BTS/LCG increased to 60


– In RAS06 max 24 users per BTS (20 per cell)
– Max 20 UE per cell also in RU10
– Total BTS level throughput increased to 12.6 Mbps (8.4 Mbps in RAS06)
– See HSUPA resource steps and dimensioning tables in next slides

• Improved resource handling:


– Resource Manager will reallocate free resources (relieved from Rel99) back to HSUPA.
▪ Improves user throughput
▪ In RAS06 only new HSUPA calls are allocated to relieved resources

– HSUPA users can be moved between Flexi sub modules.


▪ Improves HSUPA user throughput as second submodule is taken earlier into use as in RAS06
▪ In RAS06 HSUPA users can not be moved from one sub module to another

• With one FSMD you can have up to 4 shared HSDPA schedulers with 15
codes and 64 users/LCG
– Still there is room for HSUPA and R99
• With one FSMD you can also enable dedicated schedulers for 5 cells
• With two FSMD you can share easily two operators RAN with high HSDPA

BaseBand capacity calculation – Introduction

For internal use


51 © Nokia Siemens Networks RU10 UTRAN Dimensioning Training / NPO Capability Development
Goal for baseband dimensioning

• Evaluation of base band unit capacity required to serve a certain assumed traffic
mix per each area, phase and NodeB type
– Calculation of a required number of baseband modules (#FSMs, #WSPs)
– Calculation of capacity usage of base band modules (occupied/free resources)
• To base required BB capacity dimensioning on (HW/SW) limitations, e.g.:
– Max HW capacity vs. max SW releases
– Max number of supported antenna carriers
– Consumption of RACH units
– Max number of supported CCCH cells
–… FSM estimation
FSP estimation
• In the tool estimation is divided in two parts:
– FSM estimation   NoFSP ReqCellsBTS  
NoFSM  RoundUP Max ;  
– FSP estimation   MaxFSPperFSM MaxCells 
• In Flexi RAS06 one FSMB includes three FSPs

It is possible to parameterize Ultra BTS in Dim Tool v6.0 and use the tool for Ultra BTS dimensioning

System Module Rel.2 - BaseBand calculations in
DimTool v.6.0
Dim Tool 6.0 BB calculations for System Module rel2 are performed as follows:
• CCCH baseband calculation
– New rules are applied for FMSC/D depending on the cell configuration
– Control CEs are included in SM capacity, as following
– In case of extended cells configurations additional CEs have to be allocated

Two System Modules Rel.2: 6 cells / 10km -> 20km + 36CE


Two System Modules Rel.2: 9 cells / 10km -> 20km + 36CE Additional CEs for
extended cell
Two System Modules Rel.2: 12 cells / 10km -> 20km + 72CE
CEs included for CCCH

• R99 baseband calculations


– New CE requirements for FSMC and FSMD module
– Enhancement on 384 kbps

• HSDPA/HSUPA baseband calculations


– Due to the fact that HSUPA/HSDPA rules, targets values are still under investigations, baseband
calculation for FSMC/D module is based on System Module rel. 1 baseband calculation rules.
– New simultaneous users impact on CE consumption

• Here we see how same inputs will lead small difference
• The main issues when considering CE comparison is that:
– Use same traffic model for both product lines
– Same coverage requirement – area size to estimate with low amount
of site or by using average site
– Understand the HSDPA requirement and how those will impact on
capacity
• This example show how BB resources are needed to support
the same number of subscribers per site
