1.1.1 MO Models
For details about NRMs, see Northbound Interface MOM Reference. MOM is short for
managed object model. This reference document provides the information about MOCs,
relationships between MOs, parameters, parameter ranges, and service rules.

3.1.1 Parameter Lists

CM depends on parameters, and therefore parameters are key information about the NRM.
The MOM reference document and parameter list file describe supported northbound
parameters. The parameter list file contains only information about supported MOCs and
parameters. MOC service rules and relationships between the MOCs are subsets that are used
to define MOMs.
The U2020 CM NBI also provides list files that conform to XML schema constraints and
contain parameter definitions. This enables applications to execute basic data checks on XML
instance files transferred over the NBI based on XML schema files.

3.2 GSM Radio Parameter Configuration

3900 and 5900 series base stations can provide GSM, UMTS, LTE, RFA and NR services.
This section describes the GSM radio parameter configuration scenario supported by the
U2020 CM NBI.
To manage GSM radio parameters, you need to manage the cell data and TRX data. On GSM
networks, logical cell-related configuration is performed on the BSC, whereas local cells and
TRXs are created and deleted on the BTS.

1.1.1 Creating Cells

Cells need to be created in case of network deployment or capacity expansion.
If a 3900 or 5900 series base station is used to provide GSM services, you need to configure
logical and local cells on the BSC and BTS, respectively. Different NBI files are used to
configure the BSC and BTS data.
You can create logical cells on the BSC according to the following file:
U2020-CME Northbound Interface Description (GSM).doc
Table 3.2.1.1.1.1.1.1 lists major MOs involved in creating cells on the 3900 or 5900 series
base station.

Example files for creating cells are listed as follows:

 02_Sample_Create_GLocalCell_with_template.xml
 02_Sample_Create_GLocalCell_without_template.xml

 As shown in the example files, when using templates to create cells, set Operation to
CreateCellWithTemplate in the files. You do not need to set modifier, because the CME NBI sets
such a scenario to cell creation by default.
 The value of TEMPLATENAME in GLOCELL indicates the template information.

3.2.2 Deleting Cells

If logical cells need to be deleted, the NMS generates an NBI file contains only the primary
key parameters of these cells. The subobjects of these cells will be automatically deleted.
An example file for deleting cells is listed as follows:
02_Sample_Delete_Cell.xml

3.2.3 Creating TRXs

TRXs need to be created in case of network deployment or capacity expansion.
If a 3900 or 5900 series base station is used to provide GSM services, you need to configure
logical and local TRXs on the BSC and BTS, respectively. Different NBI files are used to
configure the BSC and BTS data.
On the BTS, GTRXGROUP is used to manage local TRXs. On the BSC, GTRX is used to
manage logical TRXs.
Table 3.2.3.1.1.1.1.1 lists the MO for creating TRXs on the BTS.

3.2.4 Deleting TRXs

If TRXs need to be deleted, the NMS generates an NBI file contains only the primary key
parameters of these TRXs. The subobjects of these TRXs will be automatically deleted.
An example file for deleting TRXs is listed as follows:
01_Sample_Delete_GTRX.xml

3.3 UMTS Radio Parameter Configuration

3900 and 5900 series base stations can provide GSM, UMTS, LTE, and RFA services. This
section describes the UMTS radio parameter configuration scenario supported by the U2020
CM NBI.
To manage UMTS radio parameters, you need to manage the cell data. On UMTS networks,
logical cells are created and deleted on the RNC, whereas local cells are created and deleted
on the NodeBs.
For details about the NRM, see the MOM reference document mentioned in 1.1.1MO Models.
The scenario of configuring the UMTS radio parameters of 3900 and 5900 series base stations
is the same as that of NodeBs. For details, see the following file:

3.4 LTE Radio Parameter Configuration

3900 and 5900 series base stations can provide GSM, UMTS, LTE, RFA and NR services.
This section describes the LTE radio parameter configuration scenario supported by the
U2020 CM NBI.
To manage LTE radio parameters, you need to manage the cell data. Common radio parameter
configuration scenarios include creating cells, deleting cells, modifying cell data, and
reconfiguring neighbor relationships.
For details about the NRM, see the MOM reference document mentioned in 1.1.1MO Models.
For details about the scenario for configuring the LTE radio parameters of 3900 and 5900
series base stations, see the following file:
U2020-CME Northbound Interface Description (LTE).doc

3.5 RFA Radio Parameter Configuration

3900 and 5900 series base stations can provide GSM, UMTS, LTE, RFA and NR services.
This section describes the RFA radio parameter configuration scenario supported by the
U2020 CM NBI.
To manage RFA radio parameters, you need to manage the cell data. Common radio parameter
configuration scenarios include creating cells, deleting cells, and modifying cell parameters.

1.1.1 Creating Cells

Cells need to be created in case of network deployment or capacity expansion. The CME NBI
allows you to create cells either by using cell templates or importing all cell-related MOs.
Example files for creating cells are listed as follows:
 02_Sample_add_RFA_CELL_with_template.xml
 02_Sample_add_RFA_CELL_without_template.xml

 When using templates to create cells, set Operation to CreateCellWithTemplate in the files. You
do not need to set modifier, because the CME NBI sets such a scenario to cell creation by default.
 The value of TEMPLATENAME in RFALOCELL indicates the template information.

3.5.1 Deleting Cells

When deleting logical cells, the CME automatically deletes their subobjects.
The NMS generates an NBI file for deleting logical cells. This file contains only the primary
key parameters of these cells.
An example file for deleting cells is listed as follows:
03_Sample_Del_CELL.xml

3.6 NR Radio Parameter Configuration

BTS3900 and BTS5900 series base stations can provide GSM, UMTS, LTE, RFA, and NR
services. This section describes the NR radio parameter configuration scenario supported by
the U2020 CM NBI.
To manage NR radio parameters, you need to manage cell data. Common radio parameter
configuration scenarios include creating cells, deleting cells, modifying cell data, and
reconfiguring neighbor relationships.
For details about the NRM, see the MOM reference document mentioned in 1.1.1MO Models.
For details about NR radio parameter configuration for BTS3900 and BTS5900 series base
stations, see U2020-CME Northbound Interface Description (NR).

3.7 Radio Parameter Configuration

1.1.1 Creating 3900 and 5900 Series Base Stations
Creation of a 3900 or 5900 series base station involves a large number of MOCs and
parameters. These parameters can be divided into three categories: device parameters,
transmission parameters, and radio parameters.
The device layer houses a large number of hardware objects, such as subrack, radio frequency
(RF) unit, baseband processing unit (BBP), and fan. Devices vary with vendors. Therefore,
objects at the device layer vary with vendors, their configurations are complicated, and their
models change frequently. In addition, these objects are rarely changed after they are created
on 3900 and 5900 series base stations. Therefore, the U2020 CM NBI does not allow users to
configure device parameters through the NMS.
Based on the data similarities between multiple 3900 or 5900 series base stations,
transmission and radio parameters are classified into the following types:
 Planned parameter, such as the IP address of each interface
 Reusable parameter, such as sector and baseband configuration data
Such MOCs and parameters are classified into limited types based on the data
similarities between multiple 3900 or 5900 series base stations.
Based on the preceding information, the U2020 CM NBI provides the capability of rapidly
creating a 3900 or 5900 series base station using templates. Each template represents a type of
typical configuration data of 3900 and 5900 series base stations. When importing files to
create a 3900 or 5900 series base stations through the NBI, you only need to provide the
planned parameters and templates. Then, you can copy the BTS3900 or BTS5900
configuration data from the template and modify the planned parameters based on files
imported over the U2020 CM NBI. This simplifies users' operations for creating a 3900 or
5900 series base station through the NMS.
Configuration of transmission parameters and that of device parameters are closely related,
whereas configuration of radio parameters is decoupled from that of device and transmission
parameters. Additionally, radio parameters, and device and transmission parameters are
planned and configured by engineers from different departments using different NMS tools.
Therefore, the U2020 CM NBI divides the templates for creating a 3900 or 5900 series base
station into the following types:

 Base station template (TEMPLATENAME in NODE): includes reusable device and

transmission parameters.
 Radio template (TEMPLATENAME in ENODEBFUNCTION, GBTSFUNCTION,
or NODEBFUNCTION): includes reusable radio parameters.
The U2020 CM NBI allows users only to create a 3900 or 5900 series base station using
templates. When you attempt to create a 3900 or 5900 series base station using the NMS,
you must specify base station and radio templates in imported files.
The U2020-CME provides a template management function for managing base station
and radio templates. For details, see the U2020-CME product documentation of a desired
version.
An example file for creating 3900 and 5900 series base station is listed as follows:
01_Sample_Create_Co_MPT_BTS_with_Template.xml

 You are advised to keep values of neid and NENAME of NE in the example file consistent. If they
are different, the U2020 CM NBI uses the value of neid. After the 3900 or 5900 series base station is
successfully created, the value of neid is displayed in the general view.
 When using templates to create a 3900 or 5900 series base station, you must set Operation to
CreateSite. However, you do not need to set modifier, because the U2020-CME sets this parameter
to create in such a scenario by default.
 The value of productversion indicates the base station version. When creating a 3900 or 5900 series
base station, you need to set this parameter, as well as NENAME of NE and PRODUCTTYPE of
NODE.
