Single Frequency Network Feature Parameter Descriptio

n
Single Frequency Network Feature Parameter Description
introduces single frequency network (SFN) features,
including their technical principles, related features, network
impact, and engineering guidelines.

FPD provides the performance

counters to be collected before
feature deployment. The counters
assist network planning.

FPD describes the key

configuration and provides the
information to be collected for
feature deployment.

2. CA Technologies
3GPP TR 36.913 of Release 10 introduced Carrier Aggregation (CA) to LTE-Advanced networks, allowing
aggregation of contiguous or non-contiguous carriers. CA achieves wider bandwidths and higher spectral
efficiency (especially in spectrum refarming scenarios).

3.VoLTE Solution
Huawei LTE now provides two solutions to support voice services: CS fallback and VoLTE over IMS.
CS fallback is an intermediate solution, which can protect the investments in legacy CS networks.
VoLTE over IMS + SRVCC is the target solution when IMS is available and mature.
Target Solution:
VoLTE over IMS + SRVCC
