Description 3 Overview
3 Overview
Operators have growing demands for an increase in the rate of deployment or an improvement
in capacity of LTE networks. This is based on the higher popularity of data services and
increasing penetration rate of smart terminals. However, since scattered spectrum does not
meet current LTE standard bandwidth requirements (even after integration or refarming), a
number of operators possessing UMTS or UMTS and LTE networks fail to introduce any new
changes. This will eventually cause a waste of spectrum resources.
The UMTS and LTE Spectrum Sharing feature allows UMTS and LTE networks to be co-
deployed on a non-standard bandwidth, achieving full utilization of operators' spectrum
resources.

SingleRAN
Description 4 UMTS and LTE Spectrum Sharing
4 UMTS and LTE Spectrum Sharing
4.1 Principles
4.1.1 Technical Principles

The UMTS and LTE Spectrum Sharing feature punctures available RBs in LTE cells that use
standard bandwidths. This helps to reduce the LTE effective bandwidth and enables LTE cells
to work properly on a non-standard bandwidth. Figure 4-1 illustrates the working mechanism
of this feature based on an LTE 10 MHz scenario. In this scenario, the LTE bandwidth can be
compressed by a maximum of 44%. Specifically, LTE uses a 5.6 MHz non-standard
bandwidth. UMTS uses a 4.2 MHz non-standard bandwidth through the WRFD-021001
Flexible frequency bandwidth of UMTS carrier feature. UMTS UEs are unaware of the actual
available bandwidth, and still receive and transmit signals based on the 5 MHz standard
bandwidth. Therefore, to avoid interference from other networks, a segment of 0.4 MHz
spectrum must be configured on the side of the UMTS spectrum that does not overlap with
LTE, and a segment of 0.4 MHz UMTS and LTE overlapped spectrum is configured on the
other side. The co-deployment of UMTS and LTE networks requires a minimum of 10.2 MHz
spectrum.
Figure 4-1 UMTS and LTE spectrum sharing

SingleRAN
The LTE deployment on a non-standard bandwidth is implemented by RB puncturing. Any

performance loss caused by RB puncturing is offset by physical channel resource
management. The following describes resource allocation and scheduling for each LTE
physical channel:
l Physical control format indicator channels (PCFICHs) and physical HARQ indicator
channels (PHICHs)
The positions of resource elements (REs) occupied by PCFICHs and PHICHs are related
to the physical cell identifier (PCI), which is configured by the Cell.PhyCellId
parameter. A PCI that suffers no or little UMTS interference is planned to ensure the best
possible PCFICH and PHICH performance.
l Physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs)
Due to UMTS interference, some resource element groups (REGs) of PDCCHs cannot
be used. To compensate for the loss in the demodulation performance of PDCCHs, the
transmit power or aggregation level of PDCCHs is boosted.
l Physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs)
The resource allocation mode of PDSCHs remains unchanged.
l Physical uplink control channels (PUCCHs)
PUCCHs occupy symmetrical LTE RBs that are available on the effective bandwidth.
l Physical uplink shared channels (PUSCHs)
The resource allocation mode of PUSCHs remains unchanged.
l Sounding reference signals (SRSs) and physical random access channels (PRACHs)
The resource allocation modes of SRSs and PRACHs remain unchanged, and SRSs and
PRACHs can be multiplexed on the same RBs.
NOTE
For details on the resource allocation and scheduling for other physical channels, see Physical Channel
Resource Management Feature Parameter Description in eRAN Feature Documentation.
4.1.2 Feature Configurations

This feature is enabled only when the SpectrumCloud.SpectrumCloudSwitch parameter is
set to UL_SPECTRUM_SHARING. To enable this feature, you also need to configure the
LTE cell bandwidth and downlink control information transmission policy.
LTE Cell Bandwidth

The actual available bandwidth and
ULSPECTRUMSHRCONFIG.ULSpectrumSharingConfigId are configured for each LTE
cell based on the network plan. The ranges of RBs that are actually available in the LTE
uplink and downlink are specified by the ULSPECTRUMSHRCONFIG.PrbRsvType,
ULSPECTRUMSHRCONFIG.LtePrbStartIndex, and
ULSPECTRUMSHRCONFIG.LtePrbEndIndex parameters. When the
ULSPECTRUMSHRCONFIG.PrbRsvType parameter is set to:
l LTE_DL_AVAILABLE_PRB
The ULSPECTRUMSHRCONFIG.LtePrbStartIndex and
ULSPECTRUMSHRCONFIG.LtePrbEndIndex parameters specify the range of actual
available RBs in the downlink.

SingleRAN
LTE downlink actual available bandwidth =

(ULSPECTRUMSHRCONFIG.LtePrbEndIndex –
ULSPECTRUMSHRCONFIG.LtePrbStartIndex) x 0.18 MHz
l LTE_UL_AVAILABLE_PRB
ULSPECTRUMSHRCONFIG.LtePrbEndIndex parameters specify the range of actual
available RBs in the uplink.
LTE uplink actual available bandwidth =
(ULSPECTRUMSHRCONFIG.LtePrbEndIndex –
ULSPECTRUMSHRCONFIG.LtePrbStartIndex) x 0.18 MHz
l LTE_DL_HIGH_PRIORITY_PRB
ULSPECTRUMSHRCONFIG.LtePrbEndIndex parameters specify the range of
downlink RBs with a high scheduling priority. UMTS UEs are unaware of the actual
available bandwidth, and still receive and transmit signals based on the 5 MHz standard
bandwidth. To reduce the downlink interference from LTE, of all actual available RBs in
the LTE downlink, RBs that do not overlap with the UMTS standard 5 MHz bandwidth
are preferentially scheduled. Therefore, the range of LTE downlink RBs with a high
scheduling priority is less than or equal to the range of actual available RBs.
NOTE
A guard band must be configured between UMTS and LTE spectrum to reduce the interference. The
guard band must be at least equal to an RB on the LTE side. The RB that is configured as the guard band
is not included in the range of LTE uplink actual available RBs, and is included in the range of LTE
downlink actual available RBs.
LTE Downlink Control Information Transmission Policy

The SpectrumCloud.DlCchSendStrategy parameter specifies the policy of transmitting
downlink control information in LTE cells.
l When this parameter is set to ADAPTIVE, LTE cell-specific reference signals (CRSs)
and PDCCHs are transmitted only on the actual available bandwidth.
l When this parameter is set to CRS_AND_PDCCH_ALL, LTE CRSs and PDCCHs are
transmitted over the entire bandwidth.
l When this parameter is set to CRS_ALL_AND_PDCCH_AVOIDED, LTE CRSs are
transmitted over the entire bandwidth, but PDCCHs are transmitted only on the actual
available bandwidth.
NOTE
It is recommended that the SpectrumCloud.DlCchSendStrategy parameter be set to ADAPTIVE,

but some UEs may have compatibility issues under this setting.
Configuring the Enhanced Algorithm Switch for LTE Non-standard Bandwidth

Scenarios
Configure the CellAlgoSwitch.NonStandardBwAlgoSw parameter in LTE non-standard
bandwidth scenarios.
l When the PCFICH_POWER_OPT_SWITCH option of this parameter is selected, the
PCFICH power optimization function is supported in LTE non-standard bandwidth
scenarios, and the PCFICH transmit power is adaptively adjusted based on the number of
punctured RBs.

SingleRAN
l When the PDCCH_POWER_OPT_SWITCH option of this parameter is selected, the

PDCCH power optimization function is supported in LTE non-standard bandwidth
scenarios, and the PDCCH transmit power is adaptively adjusted based on the number of
punctured RBs.
4.2 Network Analysis
4.2.1 Benefits
In an LTE 10 MHz scenario, LTE uses a non-standard bandwidth of 5.6 MHz. The downlink
capacity of an LTE 5.6 MHz cell is 20% higher than that of an LTE cell using the adjacent
lower bandwidth (5 MHz) under the same network conditions.

l LTE UEs receive and transmit signals based on a standard bandwidth, and therefore are
interfered by UMTS. The access success rate, handover success rate, average number of
UEs in a cell, and cell residual block error rate (RBLER) decrease; the call drop rate and
number of reestablishments increase. Table 4-1 lists the related counters.

l A proper PCI is planned to avoid the UMTS interference on PCFICHs and PHICHs. This
increases the number of times PCIs are reused, as well as the probability of PCI
conflicts. In addition, the PDCCH demodulation performance compensation algorithm
increases the PDCCH overhead.

SingleRAN
l Available RBs are asymmetrically configured on the two sides of the LTE standard
bandwidth. In the single user scenario, uplink PUSCHs cannot occupy all the available
RBs, and consequently the LTE uplink single-user peak rate decreases.
