4-way RX Diversity Overview • 4 Rx antennas at the eNB (4-way RX diversity) • Compared to the currently applied 2way Rx diversity scheme, using 4 receive antennas will bring gain in coverage as well as the average cell throughput • 4-way Rx diversity improves the transmission quality in medium or bad air conditions. • Peak cell throughput is not affected

Key Requirements • Antenna system: • Dual RX antenna • HW: • 2 PA’s / sector (4-RX in total) • Active Antennas (Huawei & E///) • TX: • Phase Sync recommended in case of IRC uplink combination mode

Implementation •

To facilitate implementation, 2 RX branches implemented as combined 2.1 and 2.6 GHz; no additional antenna port required wtr to default implementation,



Additional Radio HW for the 2 additional branches, combiner and wideband TMA

Typical LTE configurations: Nokia baseband /3 FSME • Same capacity with a single FSMF module with no FBBC extension capability • Optical interface capacity up to 3Gbps and up to 5 RF interfaces with no expansion possibility • No dual band support for 3 sectorial sites. • Overall capacity: 3 cells x 20 Mhz

Evolution of FSMF • Nokia’s high capacity Flexi Multiradio System Module (FSMF) provides multiradio capability and allows capacity to be increased by adding more modules • Optical interface capacity provides up to 6 Gbps - more number of cells that can be supported by each radio module interface • Provides reduction in power consumption compared to previous modules and lowers OPEX • Multiradio and multiband configurations are achievable by the addition of from four to six RF interfaces and through the FSMF’s RF Module chaining capability • The evolution of the FSMF platform to support concurrent mode operation of at least any two technologies is considered critically important. Nokia supports with SW upgrade capability to achieve this • Is used also for WCDMA Active users (RRC connected with at least one DRB establised) case 2x2 DL MIMO

The goal is to have at least two antennas per sector for new feature requirements ( es. 4-way diversity , MIMO 4x4, etc…)



Independent tilt for each system/frequency is crucial for the optimization activities especially for 800 / 900 MHz C2 – Vodafone restricted

First LTE-A implementation: LTE Carrier Aggregation

23

Carrier Aggregation – Executive Summary •

Carrier Aggregation is an important step in LTE-Advanced and enables multiple LTE carriers to be used together to provide very high data rates for the customers



Launches and Rollout expansions plans are already ongoing in all the European VF countries where more than one LTE band is available, moving from the most important cities to the medium cities and touristic places.



Roadmap for Carrier Aggregation capability increase is available, supporting an increasing numbers of carriers, aggregation across FDD/TDD and wider maximum aggregated bandwidth; some design challenge on terminal (and partially network) requires a phased deployment approach.

General AA Executive Summary For each site, the possibility to adjust antenna tilt independently for each system/frequency it is fundamental for the optimization activity In order to be proactive, it is suggest to install antenna 2600MHz capable also in site where 2600MHz is not planned in a short period. The same provision should be implemented for 700MHz . For each site, the goal is to have at least two antennas per sector in order to have the flexibility to adjust the antenna system to the new feature requirements ( es. 4-way diversity , MIMO 4x4, etc…) For sites with single antenna /sector, today multiband antennas with 6 pair connectors (2 low band pair + 4 high band pair connectors) are available only with 2.6m height, 2m version in roadmap for 2015, lower /shorter m versions is under discussion. Put 700 and 800 in separate radomes or separate radiators (for example side by side antennas). Using separate radiators, ie 2 column wide antenna or two antennas, gives acceptable performance but is not allowed on many sites due to contract with site owners For sites with FDD&TDD antenna solution must ensure at least 54 dB (see Annex 2: TDD & FDD interference analysis) of isolation between FDD and TDD

C3 Vodafone Confidential

General AA Guideline Target AA • • • •

Active Antennas are an agreed part of VF strategy with aggressive plans in our guidance All new sites, unless not practically viable All 3G/LTE site upgrades when antenna change is needed, unless not practically viable. For future spectrum readiness, where viable 2 antenna per sector configuration shall be preferred with at least 1 AA

Practical limitations • when unfeasible for camouflage/environmental restrictions • where a complete swap of pole is needed on existing sites - unless necessary for passive antenna also or other reasons e.g. H&S, site infra modernization. Pole reinforcement is acceptable.

Special case considerations •

Sites restricted to single antenna per sector (e.g. passive sharing scenario) and LTE 800: Current AA models do not support separate tilt between 800 and 900 MHz in the passive band; this limitation can be acceptable where the use of AA is justified by other more predominant drivers. Precisely, in this site configuration, AA is recommended when : A) HW Site simplification in 4 or 5 band sites with too many RRUs e.g. AA in LTE 2600 B) Performance on LTE 1800 or 3G in strategic areas C) site energy reduction e.g. macro site with long cables D) separate tilt 800 and 900 is notcritical in the area.

Active Antenna Concept Overview An active antenna (AA) integrates the radio module(s) and the antenna array(s) in the same box

Key Advantages Power Savings (reduced feeder loss) Cleaner sites (No cables, RRUs, DTMAs) Capacity/Coverage gain (suitable for high capacity scenarios)

Drawback Not all AA models support all bands Weight may be an issue for site installation 43 C2 – Vodafone restricted

Smart Radio Planning SON Approach

Main Challenges – Increasing OPEX for the skilled staff for local commissioning and configuration activities – Increasing CAPEX due to overdimensioning – High operational impact of periodic replanning – Cell Specific Settings on 4G: PCI, RSI, PRACH planning i.e. PCI reuse to be too high and its impact on the RS SINR – Labor intensive neighbour relations handling activity (intra/inter frequency, inter-RAT)

– Minimum or zero manual configuration – Plug & Play: Functionality that enables to simplify the eNB integration – Automatic cell specific settings: PCI conflict resolution, PRACH optimization – Automatic neighbour relations and the setup of X2 interfaces thus reduced HO failure caused by missing neighbour relations – Higher reliability of SW installation – Real-time network auto-tuning – Quick site configuration i.e. 10-click via NCM

PCI Planning manual vs automatic planning • Analogous to scrambling code planning in UMTS • In NSN areas, PCI planning can be done automatically with NetAct Optimizer: – Re-use of the same PCI in the same area is reduced as much as possible – When a new cell/site is added to an existing cluster, PCI planning is re-made in order to respect PCI planning rules, optimise PCI re-use and maximize network performances

• In Huawei areas, automatic PCI planning is not available: – There are features available to detect PCI collisions to optimize them looking for a new PCI. It works over eNodeB SW, not needed extra HW or SONMaster

LOFD-002007 PCI Collision Detection & Self-Optimization – To perform PCI Planning activities an external tool would be needed

• In Ericsson areas: – PCI Conflict Management supported (OSS) – PCI Conflict detection and fix – under test – PCI planning with external tools - Atoll

Very high operational impact of periodic manual PCI replanning C2 – Vodafone restricted

PCI Planning – Real Life Example from Rome manual vs automatic planning • After some rounds of manual planning, the PCI re-use in Rome was too high • A lot of PCIs were used 3/4 times in the same city with ~600 cells On Air • Very difficult to find areas with RS SINR higher than 22 dB. After the rollout of the New PCI Plan, re-use was significantly

• Higher RS SINR could be immediately measured

LTE Design Standard on Uplink Physical Random Access Access Channel RSI planning • Principle & gain •

PRACH preambles created from Root sequences to get Access to the eNode B by the UE



838 RootSequences are available to generate the PRACH preambles by combined cyclic shifting =



If same root sequences used in neighbouring cells overlap, the transmitted preamble may be detected in multiple cells



The false RACH detection alarm probability may be increased



RootSequenceIndex (RSI) points to the first root sequence to be used when generating the set of 64 preamble sequences



Number of root sequences allocated to a cell depends on the cyclic shift Ncs linked to the cell range (table)



RSI planning prevents blocking of UE Random Access and drops during Handover

Automatic Neighbour Relation (ANR)

/1

What: Automatic definition of intra-frequency and inter-frequency neighbouring cells. No more need for neighbouring planning and definition. • Inter-RAT definition still manual due to lack of terminal support

How it works: 1. Cell-A sends measurements request to UE 2. UE reports strongest PCI=5 (Cell-B) to Cell-A 3. Cell-A finds new PCI=5, so it indicates UE to report Cell-B’s CGI 4.UE reads BCH to measure CGI, TA, PLMN ID, etc. 5.UE reports CGI=19 of Cell-B to Cell-A 6.Cell-A add Cell-B to it’s NRT 7.Cell-A looks up IP address of Cell-B and establishes X2 link

Benefits: - Save cost of neighbor cell planning during initial deployment and network expansion - Automated X2 link establishment with neighbor cell - Reduce HO failure caused by missing neighbor relation (better user experience). C2 – Vodafone restricted

Smart Tx Planning

78

Smart TX Planning Main Challenges

Smart TX Planning Approach – IPSec to provide security services for traffic at the IP layer – MTU adaptation from the beginning in order to support Jumbo Frames (MTU > 1600) on the whole E2E chain to avoid dupACK, packet out of order and refragmentation – Implementation of shaping and optimization of configurations to solve issues related to buffer – Different QoS streams and EPS bearer concept – Optimized MW Configurations (operating band & bandwidth, spanning tree configuration, buffer requirements & shaping, etc.)

– Challenges on TX dimensioning and configurations due to higher peak rates (i.e. 100Mbps+) and lower latency of the LTE technology – “Low throughput” or “underperforming TCP traffic” caused by incorrect E2E dimensioning of the TX network – Packet drops due to limited buffer – Low performance due to packet segmentation with IPSec enabled – Other incorrect / unoptimized configurations

79

IPSec – MTU Size Adaptation • Stands for IP Security and defines a set of protocols • Currently described in RFCs 2401-2412, and 4301 • Provides security services for traffic at the IP layer • Uses Encapsulation Security Payload (EPS) which provides: Data origin authentication Connectionless integrity Confidentiality

QoS EPS Bearer Concept • 4G uses the concept of EPS bearer to route IP traffic from the PDN to the UE • An EPS bearer is an IP packet flow with a defined Quality of Service (QoS) between the PDN Gateway and the UE • Multiple bearers can be established for a user to provide different QoS streams (one EPS bearer for each QoS streams) • Each bearer has an associated: - ARP (Allocation and Retention Priority) to be used in admission - QCI (QoS Class Identifier) to identify: scheduling policy queue management policy rate shaping policy RLC configuration • GBR = Guaranteed Bit Rate • EPS bearer in GPRS is known as PDP context C2 – Vodafone restricted

QoS EPS Bearer Concept • Default bearer: established when UE attaches to the network - provides IP addresses and always-on IP connectivity to PDN - for all non-GBR flows that do not require QoS treatment -QCI assigned by MME based on subscription data received from HSS (typically 8 or 9) • Dedicated bearer: additional bearer established by network on UE request -for service data flows that require GBR QoS treatment • Packets filtering into bearers is performed by the UE in uplink and by the PDN gateway in downlink and it is based on TFTs (Traffic Flow Templates) - A TFT is a set of packet filters associated with an EPS bearer - A packet filter can be based on IP addresses, TCP ports, protocols, etc. - A default bearer may or may not be associated with a TFT (based on HSS data) but each dedicated bearer is always associated with a TFT
