2 Overview of CBS
Cell broadcast service (CBS) provides a cell broadcast system that is supplemental to the existing digital mobile
communication platform. Through the cell broadcast system, the RNC sends specific short messages to cells in
a designated area, and consequently the cells broadcast the messages to all the UEs supporting CBS within the
coverage.
The CBS provides the point-to-multipoint service for 3G network users.
The messages broadcast by using the CBS are known as CBS messages. The UE supporting the CBS feature
constantly detects the CBS messages and notify users of the messages received.
The CBS feature has the following advantages:
 Compared with the point-to-point service, the CBS enables multiple UEs to receive the same message, saving
system resources.
 CBS service areas (SAs) map with physical cells in a one-on-one manner. This enables messages to be
broadcast in designated areas.
To meet the customers' requirements efficiently, Huawei employs two types of cell broadcast center (CBC) to
implement the CBS feature, namely, external CBC and built-in CBC.
When the external CBC (WRFD-011000 Cell Broadcast Service) is used, it sends messages to the RNC through
the Iu-BC interface and then the RNC forwards the messages to UEs.
When the built-in CBC (WRFD-011001 Simplified Cell Broadcast) is used, the RNC housing the built-in CBC
constructs messages and delivers them to UEs.
3 Technical Description
The external CBC and built-in CBC are used in different scenarios to meet different demands of customers.
They cannot be used at the same time. The warning of disaster function is supported by only the built-in CBC.
3.1 External CBC
This section describes the system architecture, CBS message scheduling and forwarding, and network topology
with the Iu-BC interface configured.
The CBC, as a part of the core network (CN), is connected to multiple RNCs through the Iu-BC interface. The
CBC manages the CBS messages, whereas the UMTS radio access network (UTRAN) performs transparent
transmission of the CBS messages from the CBC.
A common traffic channel (CTCH) needs to be configured for each cell supporting the CBS feature. The CTCH is
mapped onto a FACH.
Figure 3-1 shows the system architecture when the external CBC is configured
Figure 3-1 System architecture when the external CBC is configured

center
SAC: service area code UTRAN: UMTS radio access network

In the release of RAN14.0, the second CBC can be configured as a redundancy CBC for the disaster
preventing. Figure 3-2 shows the system architecture when the second external CBC is configured.

3.1.2 CBS Message Scheduling and Forwarding

When the external CBC is used, the CBS implementation procedure is as follows:
1. The external CBC sends a CBS message to the RNC over the Iu-BC interface. The message contains
service requirements such as the broadcast interval, broadcast times, and broadcast area.
2. On receipt of the message, the RNC saves it to the buffer.
3. The RNC schedules and forwards the message based on the CTCH bandwidth and the service requirements.
4. The RNC deletes the CBS message from the buffer.
The UEs in a CBS-capable cell receive CBS messages of the user-defined types. UEs in idle mode or in the
CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state can receive the CBS messages.
3.1.3 Network Topology with the Iu-BC Interface

The external CBC supports only Iu-BC over IP. Therefore, switching from TCP/IP to IP over ATM (IPoA) must be
performed if the ATM transmission mode is used on the Iu-BC interface.
Networking solutions are different in Iu-BC over IP mode and in Iu-BC over ATM mode.
Networking Solution in Iu-BC over IP Mode

Figure 3-3 shows the networking solution in Iu-BC over IP mode.
Figure 3-3 Networking solution in Iu-BC over IP mode
CBE: cell broadcast entity

RNS: radio network
subsystem

The advantage and disadvantage of this networking solution are as follows:
 Advantage
This networking solution provides flexible networking and simple configuration.

 Disadvantage
If the IP addresses of the RNC and CBC are on different network segments, a route needs to be configured
and extra routing devices need to be added. This leads to increase in the cost.
Networking Solution in Iu-BC over ATM Mode

Figure 3-4 shows the networking solution in Iu-BC over ATM mode. In this mode, the ATM switch implements
the switching from the TCP/IP protocol stack to the IPoA protocol stack.
Figure 3-4 Networking solution in Iu-BC over ATM mode

The advantage and disadvantage of this networking solution are as follows:
 Advantage
Additional devices are not required.

 Disadvantage
There are potential risks that the CN equipment of other vendors does not inter-operate with Huawei external
CBC.
3.1.4 Protocol and Signaling

Figure 3-5 shows the protocol stack of CBS
Figure 3-5 CBS protocol stack

The signaling procedures exchanged between CBC and RNC are listed as follows:
 Write-Replace procedure: this procedure is used to broadcast new messages or replace the old messages.
 Kill procedure: this procedure is used to stop broadcast of specific messages in specific cells.
 Load Status Enquiry procedure: CBC enquiry the available bandwidth for broadcasting in specific cells.
 Message Status Enquiry procedure: enquiry the CBS message status (number of transmitting specific
messages in a cell)
 Reset: stop CBS service in specific cells.
 Restart Indication: when cells resume and CBS service is available again, RNC notify the CN the cell status.
 Failure Indication: RNC notify CN that CBS service in a cell fails.
For details, see 3GPP TS 23.041.
3.2 Built-in CBC
The built-in CBC is used to send the cell name and messages to UEs through messages on a regular basis. Its
function is achieved through software. In addition to the basic CBS function, Huawei built-in CBC also provides a
warning of disaster function. The built-in CBC sends normal broadcast messages in the normal case and sends
emergency broadcast messages in case of emergencies.
When the built-in CBC is used, the RNC constructs messages and delivers them to UEs. A message can be
specifically configured for each cell, and the cell name and messages can be periodically sent to the UEs. The
broadcast interval and broadcast times are user-definable.
Figure 3-6 shows the system architecture when the built-in CBC is configured.
Figure 3-6 System Architecture when the built-in CBC is configured
3.2.2 Warning of Disaster
This section describes the feature WRFD-020127 Warning of Disaster.
The warning of disaster function is used to inform UEs in a designated area of disasters or breaking events
through broadcast. The purpose is to enable the subscribers to respond cautiously to emergencies.
The warning of disaster function is supported by only the built-in CBC. When the function is applied, the RNC
constructs messages and delivers them to UEs in a designated area. The designated area can be a single cell,
multiple cells, or all cells under the RNC.
The warning of disaster function enables the network operators to compose emergency messages on the OM
console when disasters (such as earthquake, tsunami, and hurricane) occur. Then, the OM console requests the
RNC to send the emergency messages to all the UEs in the designated area. The RNC sends the messages
within four seconds after receiving the request.
3.2.3 Message Construction in the RNC

In the built-in CBC case, the RNC needs to simulate functions of a CBS server by constructing CBS messages.
The following messages need to be constructed:
 Write-Replace message: This message is used to carry information. It is constructed and sent by the RNC.
 KILL message: When the CBS function is disabled and the function is deactivated in the cell, the RNC needs
to send a KILL message to the cell to stop the cell broadcasting CBS messages.
The RNC does not need to send the Write-Replace response message or the KILL response message to the
CN.
4 Engineering Guidelines
The following provides engineering guidelines regarding the configuration of CBS.
4.1 Deployment Requirements
The UE must meet the following requirements:
 CBS has been activated on the UE.
 Only channels receiving broadcast messages are retained on the UE.
4.2 CBS Configuration in the Case of the External CBC

This section describes the CBS configuration procedure when the external CBC is used.
4.2.1 Activating the External CBC License

When the RNC uses the external CBC, the CBS license is required. To activate the CBS license, perform the
following steps:
1. Obtain a new license file.
2. Upload the license file to the BAM installation directory\FTP\license directory on the OMU by using the
FTP.
3. Run the ACT LICENSE command on the M2000 or RNC LMT to activate the license file.
4. Run the SET LICENSE command on RNC LMT to set the CBS license.
4.2.2 Configuring the Iu-BC Interface

To configure the Iu-BC interface, you must configure related data according to the actual network topology.
The IP addresses on the Iu-BC interface can be shared. The device IP address of the Iu-BC interface board, however, must be
configured exclusively and cannot be shared.
4.2.3 Configuring CBS in Iu-BC over IP Mode

RNC Configuration
 Add an IP address of the Ethernet port.
− Run the ADD ETHIP command to add the IP address of the Ethernet port.
− The IP address of the Ethernet port connected to the CBC and the IP address of the CBC are recommended
to be on the same network segment.
 Add an IP route.
− Run the ADD IPRT command to add a route from the interface board to the CBC. (Note: If the IP address of
the Ethernet port and the IP address of the CBC are on the same network segment, the ADD IPRTcommand
is not required.)
− DSTIP:IP address of the CBC. You can query this IP address by running the IPCONFIG command on a
CBC local computer.
− NEXTHOP: IP address of the Ethernet port configured on the interface board
 Add the device IP address of the interface board.
− Run the ADD DEVIP command to add the device IP address of the interface board.
− The IP address of the RNC interface board must be the same as the CBS IP address.
 Add the CBS configuration.
− Runthe ADD UCBSADDR command to add the TCP IP address used for the SOCKET communication
between the CBC and the RNC.
− RNCIPADDR: CBS IP address of the RNC
− CBCIPADDR: IP address of the CBC
Router Configuration
For details, see the associated router configuration document. The data must be negotiated with the RNC.
CBC Configuration
Configure the IP address of the CBC and the route from the CBC to the RNC.
4.2.4 Configuring CBS in Iu-BC over ATM Mode

RNC Configuration
 Add the device IP address of the interface board.
Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD DEVIP to add the device IP address of the interface board. This
device IP address and the IP address of the ATM switch must be on the same network segment. The IP
address of the RNC interface board must be the same as the CBS IP address.
 Add an IPoA PVC to the ATM switch.
Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD IPOAPVC to add an IPoA PVC between the local IPoA client and the
peer IPoA client.
− IPADDR: IP address of the local Ethernet port
− PEERIPADDR: IP address of the ATM switch
− The local IP address and the peer IP address must be on the same subnet.
− The VPI and VCI must be the same as the settings of the ATM switch.
 Add an IP route.
Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD IPRT to add a route from the interface board to the CBC. The route
passes an IP address of the ATM switch.
− DSTIP:IP address of the CBC. You can query this IP address by running the IPCONFIG command on a
CBC local computer.
− NEXTHOP: IP address of the ATM switch. By using this IP address, the ATM switch exchanges information
between the interface board and the Ethernet port that is connected to the CBC.
 Add the CBS configuration.
Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD UCBSADDR to add the CBS IP address of the RNC, namely, the
TCP IP address used for the SOCKET communication between the CBC and the RNC.
− RNCIPADDR: CBS IP address of the RNC
− CBCIPADDR: IP address of the CBC
ATM Switch Configuration

Set the IP address of the Ethernet port of the ATM switch and configure the IPoA client, IPoA PVC, and IPoA
route from the ATM switch to the RNC. The data must be negotiated with the RNC. The VCI and VPI must be
consistent with the settings of the RNC.
CBC Configuration
Configure the IP address of the CBC and the route from the CBC to the RNC.
4.2.5 Configuring CBS for a Cell at the Radio Network Layer

The CBS setup process consists of the following tasks:
1. Setting up a CTCH
2. Configuring the RLC for the CTCH
3. Configuring the Broadcast/Multicast Control (BMC)
4. Updating the system information on the Iub interface
5. Sending the RESTART IND message on the Iu-BC interface
When configuring CBS for a cell, ensure that the configurations of cell-level parameters in IP mode and ATM
mode are consistent. Figure 4-1 shows the procedure for configuring CBS for a cell (at the radio network layer).
Figure 4-1 Procedure for configuring CBS for a cell

The procedure for configuring CBS for a cell is as follows:
Step 1 Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD UCTCH to add the CTCH for the cell supporting CBS.
FACH ID is the unique identifier of an FACH in a cell. You need to negotiate the channel configuration scheme with NodeB
engineers according to the channel specifications supported by the NodeB.
Step 2 Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD UCELLCBSDRX to set the CBS DRX scheduling parameters
for the cell supporting CBS.
Step 3 Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD UCELLCBSSAC to set the SAC that identifies the service area
(SA) for the cell supporting CBS.
 You can add a specific CBS cell to the CBS SA by setting the cell ID (CELLID).
 CBS SAC identifies a CBS cell. The SAC is determined in network planning.
 CBS SAs are different from CS/PS SAs. CBS SAs have a one-on-one mapping with physical cells.
Step 4 Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD UCELLCBS to enable CBS in a cell. You can enable CBS only
after other radio network layer configurations are complete. After CBS is enabled, you can monitor the
RESTART IND message on the Iu-BC interface and the CBS scheduling message on the Uu interface.

4.2.6 Verifying CBS
Step 1 Check whether the CBS function works properly.
1. Ping the CBS IP address of the RNC on the CBC. If the ping operation is successful, it indicates that the data
transmission from CBC to RNC is normal.
2. Ping the CBC IP address on the RNC. The source IP address is the device IP address, that is, the IP address
of the CBS. PING IP: SRN=0, SN=16, SIPADDR="12.12.12.12", DESTIP="11.11.11.11"; If the ping operation
is successful, it indicates that the data transmission from RNC to CBC is normal. If the ping operation fails,
check the configuration.
3. Check whether the CBS socket is connected properly. To do this, trace messages over the Iu interface and
view whether the SABP_LOAD_QUERY is sent to the RNC, as shown in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2 Viewing the SABP_LOAD_QUERY message

4. As shown in Figure 4-3, the 0SABP_LOAD_QUERY_CMP message returned from the RNC contains the
information element (IE) available-bandwidth.
Figure 4-3 Viewing the SABP_LOAD_QUERY_CMP message

5. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP UCELL to check whether the CBS function works, as shown
in Figure 4-4.
Figure 4-4 Viewing the CBS function

Step 2 Check the broadcast messages sent.
1. Use the MTC tool to send messages on the CBC. It is recommended that the time interval for sending
messages be within 10s and the number of messages sent be more than two (0 indicates infinity).
2. Trace messages on the Iu interface to check whether the SABP_WRITE_REPLACE message is sent to the
RNC, as shown in Figure 4-5.
Figure 4-5 Viewing the SABP_WRITE_REPLACE message

3. As shown in Figure 4-6, the SABP_WRITE_REPLACE_CMP message returned from the RNC contains a
broadcast message with the IE number-of-broadcasts-completed.
Figure 4-6 Viewing the SABP_WRITE_REPLACE_CMP message

4. Trace messages on the Uu interface to check whether the UU_BMC_MSG_TYPE message beginning with
01 is sent from the RNC, as shown in Figure 4-7.
Figure 4-7 Viewing the UU_BMC_MSG_TYPE message

Step 3 Stop the RNC from sending broadcast messages.
1. On the CBC, select the message being sent and click delete.
2. Trace messages on the Iu interface to check whether the SABP_KILL message is sent to the RNC, as
shown in Figure 4-8.
Figure 4-8 Viewing the SAB_KILL message

3. Trace messages on the Iu interface, as shown in Figure 4-9. The SABP_KILL_CMP message returned from
the RNC contains the IE number-of-broadcast-completed.
Figure 4-9 Viewing the SABP_KILL_CMP message

4. It can be viewed from the Uu interface trace data that the RNC stops sending
the UU_BMC_MSG_TYPE message beginning with 01.
Run the DEA UCELLCBS to deactivate the CBS feature.

4.4 Enabling UE Battery Saving for CBS

After CBS is activated, UEs monitor the CTCH even when no CBS messages are sent, increasing battery
consumption of UEs. In RAN14.0, two methods for UE battery saving were available, which are described as
follows:
 Dynamically turning on/off the CTCH indicator
When no CBS messages are sent at the current scheduling moment, the CTCH indicator is turned off by
default in system information block 5 (SIB5). The RNC sends the system information to turn on the CTCH
indicator if a CBS message is to be sent.
The turned-on CTCH indicator will be turned off if no CBS messages are sent during a certain period.
 Dynamically adjusting the length of scheduling messages
If no CBS messages are sent at the current scheduling moment, the RNC reduces the length of scheduling
messages; if a CBS message is to be sent at the current scheduling moment, the RNC extends the length of
scheduling messages.
Using the methods for UE battery saving increases the transmission delay of CBS messages.
4.4.1 Dynamically Turning On/Off the CTCH Indicator

Run the BSC6900 MML command SET UCELLALGORSVPARA command
with RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT1 selected in the RsvSwitch0 parameter.
4.4.2 Dynamically Adjusting the Length of Scheduling Messages

Step 1 Run the BSC6900 MML command DEA UCELLCBS to deactivate the CBS function for a cell.
Step 2 Run the BSC6900 MML command SET
UCELLALGORSVPARA with RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT2 selected in the RsvSwitch0 parameter.
Step 3 Run the BSC6900 MML command ACT UCELLCBS to activate the CBS function for a cell.
