A single BTS3812E/BTS3812AE can support 3 x 4 (sector x carrier) or 6 x 2


without transmit diversity. You may select one of the configurations,
depending on the requirement of capacity.

The BTS3812E/BTS3812AE supports a smooth capacity expansion from 1 x


1 to 6 x 2 or 3 x 4.

One MTRU supports 2 carriers and 40 W output power at the NodeB RF


module antenna port. No additional RF modules are required when 1-carrier
configuration is upgraded to 2-carrier configuration.

For some RAN sharing scenario, one NodeB shall support more carriers, for
example3 x 6 (sector x carrier). The WRFU should be configured. One
WRFU supports 4 carriers and 80 W output power at the NodeB RF module
antenna port. No additional RF modules are required when 1-carrier
configuration is upgraded to 4-carrier configuration. With 6 WRFU, one
BTS3812E/BTS3812AE can support 3 x 8 (sector x carrier) configuration.

The capacity of the modular BTS3812E/BTS3812AE can be expanded


simply through additional modules or license expansion. In the initial phase
of network deployment, some small capacity configurations such as Omni 1
configuration or 3 x 1 can be used. With the capacity requirement increasing,
you can smoothly upgrade the system to large-capacity configurations such
as 3 x 2 and 3 x 4.

Any combination of the two frequency bands (850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz,
1900 MHz, and 2100 MHz) can be supported in one Node B. The Node B
with shared baseband boards only requires RF modules at different bands.

2.2 Distributed Node B DBS3800 System Description


The DBS3800 basically comprise the following three units:

The indoor baseband processing unit BBU3806

The outdoor baseband processing unit BBU3806C

The outdoor Remote Radio Unit (RRU)

The BBU3806 (indoor unit) and the BBU3806C (outdoor unit) have a similar logical
structure. In RAN10.0, EBBC and EBBM are introduced as enhanced base band card
for BBU3806 and BBU3806C. Using BBU3806+EBBC or BBU3806C+EBBM can realize
the larger capacity of base band.
Figure below shows the functional modules in the BBU.

Figure 2-5 Functional modules in the BBU


The BBU consists of the following functional parts:

Transport subsystem

Baseband subsystem

Control subsystem

Interface modules

There are 2 kinds of RRU for DBS3800:


RRU3801C (or RRU3801E): 40W output power on the top of cabinet, 2 carriers
RRU3804: 60W output power on the top of cabinet, 4 carriers
RRU3801C and RRU3804 have the same functional modules. Figure below shows the
functional modules in the RRU.

Figure 2-6 Functional modules in the RRU


The functional modules are as follows:

Interface module. The interface module receives downlink baseband data from the
BBU, transmits uplink baseband data to the BBU, and forwards data from the
cascaded RRUs.

MTRX. The MTRX has two RX channels and one TX channel for RF signals. The
RX channel down-converts the receive signals into Intermediate Frequency (IF)
signals and performs amplification, analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion, digital
down-conversion, matched filtering, and Digital Automatic Gain Control (DAGC).
The TX channel performs shape filtering of downlink spreading signals,
digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion, and up-conversion of RF signals into transmit
band signals.

PA. The Power Amplifier (PA) implements the DPD and E-Doherty technologies to
amplify low-power RF signals from the MTRX.

Duplexer. The duplexer multiplexes receive signals and transmit signals, which
enables the receive signals and transmit signals to share the same antenna path.
The duplexer also filters receive signals and transmit signals.

LNA. The LNA amplifies the signals received from antennas.

2.2.2 Baseband Module Configuration


The BBU33806 is an indoor base band unit. The maximum configuration is 2 BBU3806
in one Node B. The BBU3806 consists of the boards for the baseband, control, switching
and Iub transmission interface functionalities.
The BBU3806, powered with 48 V/ 24V DC, provides environmental protection and
cooling functions.

2.4 UMTS Capacity Dimensioning Procedure


2.4.1 Introduction
The main driver of 3G mobile networks is availability of wide range of multi-media
applications and services. This new multi-service aspect brings totally new requirements
into capacity dimensioning process.
The aim of WCDMA capacity dimensioning is to obtain the number of subscribers
supported by one cell by the given traffic model.
Traffic models like Erlang B, Erlang C, etc., are established models which can model
single service, circuit-switched traffic quite accurately. However, there are no
established ways for modeling multi-service traffic in UMTS. Huawei makes a great deal
of study in the field of multi-service capacity dimensioning and introduces
multidimensional Erlang B model as the approach to estimate the capacity of CS
multi-service. PS is best effort which is used in mixed services (CS and PS) capacity
dimensioning.
Assuming the number of subscribers, the traffic profile can be used to determine
whether the maximum permissible system load is exceeded or not by the overall system
load. We can get the overall system load from the CS peak cell load, CS average cell
load and PS average cell load. When the overall system load equals the maximum
permissible system load, the assumed number of subscribers is the capacity of one cell.
The procedure of mixed services capacity dimensioning is illustrated in Figure 1-1

Section 2.4.4 introduces the main principle for HSDPA capacity dimensioning

2.4.2 CS Capacity Dimensioning Principle


1.

Calculation of CS peak cell load

Load CS peak

CS peak cell load can be calculated by multidimensional ErlangB algorithm.


Multidimensional ErlangB can estimate the respective blocking probability of various CS
services. Under a fixed cell load, different services have different blocking probability,

which depends on the load of a single connection. Multidimensional ErlangB model is


illustrated in following figure:

Figure 2-17 Multidimensional Erlang B Model

Multidimensional Erlang B model makes it possible to utilize the cell capacity effectively.
The resource is shared by all services in multidimensional ErlangB model, which makes
use of the fact that the probability of simultaneous bursts from many independent traffic
sources is very small. This idea is that according to the law of large numbers the
statistical fluctuation decreases in an aggregated flow of many burst and fluctuating
traffic flows when the number of combined flows increases. The following figure
illustrates the gain when resource is shared compared to the partitioned resource.
ErlangB - Partitioning Resources

Multidimensional ErlangB - Resources shared

Low Utilization of resources

High Utilization of resources

Figure 2-18 Partitioning Resources vs Resources Shared

In WCDMA CS capacity dimensioning, given respective GoS (blocking probability) of CS


services and designed load, number of subscribers supported by one cell can be
obtained using multidimensional Erlang B (MDE) model. Further more, given GoS and
number of subscribers per cell, CS peak cell load can be obtained; given number of
subscribers per cell and CS peak cell load, respective GoS of CS services can be
obtained also. This is shown in following figure.

According to the average number of channel occupied by CS services, which is


approximately equals to the cell traffic when the blocking probability is relatively low, we
can obtain the average CS cell load.

2.4.4 HSDPA Capacity Dimensioning


For HSDPA capacity dimensioning, average HSDPA cell throughput can be calculated
based on available resources like power and codes for HSDPA and cell average radius.
The basic principle is to calculate the Ec/Io distribution in the cell due to the specified cell
range, power allocation to HSDPA and codes resources, and get the HSDPA cell
average throughput from the simulation result between Ec/Io and throughput.
The following figure shows the procedure.

2.4.6 MBMS Capacity Dimensioning


MBMS service has two kind of working mode: PTP (point to point), PTM (point to
multi-point), PTP is borne on the DCH or HSDPA, so the capacity dimensioning of
PTP mode is the same to R99 and HSDPA. We just detail the PTM mode capacity
dimensioning here.

Power consumption for each MBMS channel at air interface can be calculated by
the following formula:

AMBMS (10 PL MBMS / 10) /(10 PBS / 10 )


Where,

AMBMS is the loading for each MBMS channel at air interface


PL MBMS is the power consumption for per MBMS channel, this can be calculated
via link budget with specified bearer and cell radius requirement.

PBS is the total power of NodeB


If we take N links as the MBMS channels at air interface per cell, assume that the
MBMS channels are average distributed in all carriers per cell, so the MBMS
channels per cell per carrier at air interface can be gotten by N links / carriers.
Thus the total loading of all the MBMS channels within one cell can be calculated
by the following formula:

Load MBMS AMBMS * ( N links / carriers)

PS services have best effort characteristic which is used in mixed services capacity

UMTS CE Dimensioning Procedure

2.5.1 Introduction
CE (Channel Element) is defined as a fundamental base band processing element.
Generally, one channel element can be considered as the resources consumed by one
12.2kbps AMR service channel and one 3.4kbps signaling channel. CEs are pooled per
Node B, no additional CE are needed for either CCH or for signaling channels.

The number of channel elements is determined by three factors: traffic model, radio
bearers and CE factors.
Traffic models like Erlang B, Erlang C, etc., are established models which can model
single service, for instance, circuit-switched traffic. However, there are no established
ways for modeling multi-service traffic in UMTS. Huawei has done thorough research in
the field of multi-service capacity dimensioning and introduces multidimensional ErlangB
model as the approach to estimate the CE of circuit switched (CS) multi-service.

Note:

bearer.

2.5.2 CE Dimensioning for CS Service


CE dimensioning for CS services is comprised 3 parts as follows:

1.

Calculating the subscribers per Node B(

N users )

Subscribers per Node B= total number of subscribers/number of NodeBs.


Total number of subscribers and the required number of NodeBs are obtained through
capacity dimensioning, for both uplink and downlink.
2.

Calculating the peak number of CEs for CS service (

CECS _ Peak

Multidimensional ErlangB algorithm is used to calculate the number of channel elements


needed during peak traffic at Busy Hour for CS services meeting the respective GoS
(grade of service) requirements.
Traditional single service (voice) adopts ErlangB formula. With only one service it is
sufficient to find the peak traffic of a given GoS.
In fact, each radio bearer of various services has different GoS requirement. So we
adopt Multidimensional ErlangB algorithm to calculate the blocking probability for
multiple services when accessing the system with limited resources, which is a way to
model multi-service systems where resources are shared by all services with different
GoS requirements. Multidimensional ErlangB algorithm model is shown in following
figure.

Huawei UMTS RAN10.0 Dimensioning Rules

Multidimensional ErlangB model makes it possible to utilize the CE resources effectively.


The resource is shared by all services in multidimensional ErlangB model, which makes
use of the fact that the probability of simultaneous bursts from many independent traffic
sources is very small. This idea is that according to the law of large numbers the
statistical fluctuation decreases in an aggregated flow of many burst and fluctuating
traffic flows when the number of combined flows increases. The figure below shows gain
when resources are shared compared to when resources are pre-partitioned.

Figure 2-26 Partitioning Resources vs. Resources Shared

In CS peak CE dimensioning, Multidimensional ErlangB algorithm can calculate traffic,


blocking probability and the peak number of CEs for CS services, if any two of them is
known, the third one can be found.
1.

Calculating the average number of CEs for CS service (

CECS _ Average

In UMTS, more resources are allocated to CS service than PS service in order to


guarantee CS service coverage. In other words, CE resources will first have to satisfy
peak traffic during Busy Hour Traffic. Nevertheless, CS service consumes average
number of CEs due to the fact that CS traffic is not always at its peak
The average number of CEs needed at Busy Hour for CS services according to the
traffic is calculated as following formula:

2.5.3 CE Dimensioning for PS service


Calculating the average number of CEs needed at Busy Hour for PS service
(

CEPS _ Average

) is same as that of CS average CE service, it is according to the traffic

and should consider the PS characteristics in addition, e.g. burstiness, retransmission. It

On the uplink, uplink A-DCH (associated DCH) can be used for signalling and
transmission of HSDPA uplink traffic. A-DCH has variable SF of 4, 8 and 16 and its
corresponding data transmission rate is 384kbps, 128k and 64k, respectively.
Usually the UL total traffic model of R99 includes the HSDPA users, therefore the
number of CEs consumed by HSDPA users in uplink (

CE HSDPA _UL

) is already included

in R99 CE dimensioning, and CE consumed by A-DCH equals to that of DCH if the


bearing rate is same, so only the number of CEs consumed by HSDPA in downlink
should be considered.
If UL total traffic does not include HSDPA traffic, number of uplink CEs for HSDPA
(

CE HSDPA _UL

) can be calculated according to number of simultaneously connected

HSDPA users (

N HSDPA _ Links

, show as formula (3)) and CE factors. For example, if the

bearing rate of UL A-DCH is 64kbps which requires 3 CEs according to CE factors, then
the number of CEs required by HSDPA users in uplink will be

2.

HSDPA Downlink CE dimensioning (

CE HSDPA _ DL

N HSDPA _ Links 3

The SF of A-DCH is 256 on downlink, with the rate of 3.4 kbps. When an HSDPA
subscriber accesses the network, a downlink A-DCH is set up, which consumes one CE.
Therefore CE resource consumed by HSDPA DL A-DCH depends on the number of
simultaneously connected HSDPA users, which can be calculated according to the
following formula:

CE HSDPA _ DL N HSDPA _ Links

ThroughputPerUserHSDPA N users

N HSDPA _ Links is the number of simultaneously connected users of HSDPA.

ThroughputPerUserHSDPA is the throughput per user of HSDPA.

There is dedicated H/W in Huawei Node B (BTS3812E/BTS3812AE, DBS3800 and
BTS3812AE) to support HSDPA service processing, which does not consume the CE
for R99. Only the CEs for associated signaling need to be taken into account.

considered during the calculation, otherwise, one additional CE is needed by one
A-DCH in uplink.

factors in Phase I. No extra CE should be taken into account for A-DCH of HSUPA in
uplink any more.

HSDPA, thus on extra CE is needed for A-DCH of HSUPA.

The purpose of Iub dimensioning is to calculate Iub bandwidth and then obtain the
required E1 pairs.
Traffic models like ErlangB, ErlangC, etc., are established models which can model
single service, circuit-switched traffic quite accurately. However, there are no
established ways for modeling multi-service traffic in UMTS. Huawei has carried out
thorough research in the field of multiservice network dimensioning and adopts
multidimensional ErlangB model to estimate the Iub bandwidth of CS multi-service. For
mixed CS, PS and HSDPA Iub bandwidth dimensioning, best effort characteristic of PS
and HSDPA is used. Apart from traffic bandwidth, Iub bandwidth dimensioning also
includes calculation of Iub bandwidth occupied by common channels, signaling and
O&M.

Multidimensional ErlangB model makes it possible to utilize the Iub bandwidth effectively.
The resource is shared by all services in multidimensional ErlangB model, which makes
use of the fact that the probability of simultaneous bursts from many independent traffic
sources is very small. This idea is that according to the law of large numbers the
statistical fluctuation decreases in an aggregated flow of many burst and fluctuating

2.6.2.4 HSPA Iub Bandwidth


Since HSPA usually bears BE service, the calculation of Iub bandwidth for HSPA follows
almost the same procedure as that for PS. However, it should be noted that HSDPA
does not support SHO and therefore there is no Iub SHO overhead for HSDPA.
The formula below is used to calculate HSDPA Iub bandwidth:

* (1 Re transmissionHSDPA) * (1 Burst _ RatioHSDPA)

service and the service bearer, for example, 1Mbps HSDPA service will use 1.35Mbps

HSUPA shares the same overhead compare to HSDPA for each service bearer. The
following formula is used to calculate the HSUPA Iub bandwidth:

2.6.2.5 MBMS Iub Bandwidth


MBMS Iub bandwidth per Node Bcan be calculated by the following formula:

IubMBMS =

links _ i

*RMBMS _ i

Where,

RMBMS _ i is the Iub bandwidth consumption for each MBMS bearer, this value is
different with different Iub transmission technology from ATM to IP.

N links _ i is the MBMS channel number for each kind of MBMS bearer per Node B
(Not per cell). Because to maximize saving of Iub bandwidth, the latest 3GPP
provides FACH transmission sharing for MBMS solution to share transport bearers.
RNC transports only single FACH data. Node B transport module performs data
duplication and distributes them to different FACH Channels in different cells, as
shown in the following figure, where the common transport bearer is shared over Iub.
Thus, two-third of Iub bandwidth is saved by the improved Iub transport.

2.6.3 Iub Bandwidth Dimensioning for Others


2.6.3.1 Iub Bandwidth for Common Channel
Iub bandwidth for common channel mainly includes FACH and PCH for downlink while
RACH for uplink.
The Iub bandwidth for downlink CCH depends on the configurations of FACH and PCH.
FACH and PCH are mapped onto the same physical channel S-CCPCH, each cell has
one S-CCPCH.
The uplink configuration of RACH can be 1 or 2 for each cell, generally each cell has
one RACH.
The typical Iub bandwidth for common channel can showed as the following table.

Iub Bandwidth of Common Channels

UL Bandwidth for RACH

The Iub bandwidth for common channel based on ATM is a little bigger than that based
on IP.

2.6.3.2 Iub Bandwidth for Signaling


Signaling including NCP, CCP and ALCAP also consumes Iub bandwidth. Iub bandwidth
for signaling generally depends on the actual traffic volume. For example, Iub bandwidth
for signaling becomes higher during busy hours.
Iub signaling bandwidth can be simplified as approximately 10% of Iub traffic throughput.

2.6.3.3 Iub Bandwidth for O&M


O&M Iub bandwidth is configurable and the typical recommended value is 64kbps for both
uplink and downlink.

3.3.1 HSDPA upgrade


HSDPA phase 4 is supported in RAN10.0. The BSC6800 in RAN6.0 and BSC6810 in RAN6.1 are
all hardware ready to for HSDPA phase 4. Therefore, no additional hardware is required to
support HSDPA phase 4.

3.3.2 HSUPA upgrade


HSUPA phase 2 is supported in RAN10.0. The BSC6800 in RAN6.0 and BSC6810 in RAN6.1 are
all hardware ready for HSUPA phase 2. Therefore, no additional hardware is required to support
HSUPA phase 2.

3.3.3 IP Upgrade
In RAN10.0, all IP transmission, that is Iub/Iu/Iur over IP, is supported.

BSC6800

1) Iub over IP Upgrade


The IP interface board for the Iub interface is needed. WEIE is needed to be configured in each
WRBS to support IP over E1 and WFIE board is needed to be configured in each WRBS to
support IP over Ethernet.
2) Iu/Iur over IP Upgrade
The BSC6800V100R010 supports Iu/Iur interfaces based on IP over Ethernet transmission mode
by using the built-in interface board (WFIE) and the convergence through the LAN switch solution.
Each WRBS must be configured with WFIEs and the FE ports of WFIEs are converged to GE port
through LAN switch.
There is no new IP interface board is introduced in V100R010 (RAN10.0), and the smooth

evolution to Iu/Iur IP solution is supported with WFIE board as below.


1. Iu/Iur IP can only be supported with WFIE board.
2. Each WRBS should be configured with WFIE board in slt 1 and 14. In RAN10.0, only 8 WFMRb
boards or 4 WFMRc boards are needed instead of 10 WFMRb boards in RAN6.0 and the capacity
is not affected, therefore, slot 1 and 14 can be configured with WFIE board.
3. If WRBS has already been configured with WFIE board in slot 1 or slot 15 which used for Iub
interface, no additional WFIE board is needed, and the existing WFIE board can process the Iu/Iu
r IP traffic as well as Iub IP traffic without capacity downgraded.
4. The lanswitch in the switching cabinet is used to concentrate the Iu IP traffic distributed in each
WRBS, and provides GE optical/electrical port to CN nodes.

BSC6810

The BSC6810 is hardware and software ready for Iub/Iu/Iur over IP.
Compared with BSC6810V200R009 in RAN6.1, IP over E1/T1 over SDH (CPOS) and IP over
SDH (POS) are added in RAN10.0 for BSC6810V200R010.

The CPOS is supported by interface board POUa, the new interface board provided
since RAN10.0. That means, when upgrade from RAN6.1 to RAN10.0 to support
CPOS, new interface board POUa is required.

The POS is supported by interface board UOIa, the interface board provided since
RAN6.1. That means only software upgrade from RAN6.1 to RAN10.0 is needed to
support POS.

3.3.4 Other Functional Upgrades


The Supplier does not foresee any functional requirements that require hardware upgrade to the
RNC except those noted in previous sections.

RNC interface Dimensioning

3.4.1 Iub Dimensioning


Please refer to 2.7 and 2.8

3.4.2 Iur Interface Dimensioning (RNC RNC)


Usually we calculate the throughput based on Iub interface throughput as shown
in following figure:
Iur Interface Throughput/RNC = 10% * Iub interface Throughput / RNC.
Notes:

Iur interface throughput is estimated to be 10% of Iub interface throughput.

3.4.3 Iu-CS Interface Dimensioning (RNC MGW)


Iu-CS interface is the bridge between UTRAN and CN CS domain. This interface
is used to transfer data flow in both control plane and user plane of CN CS
domain. Iu-CS interface protocol stack (ATM) can be illustrated in following figure:

Iu-CS Interface Protocol Stack (ATM)


Iu-CS interface data flow in user plane is separated into CS Voice and CS Data.
Usually we only need to calculate 12.2kbps service in CS Voice and 64kbps in CS
Data. The usage factors in different stack layers are listed in following table:
