Dependency
UE should support the rates at the same time
Benefits
This feature is the base of service support.
Conversational QoS class support capability can provide upper layer corresponding
services with QoS guaranteed.
Dependency
CN Node and UE should support the services at the same time.
Benefits
Streaming QoS class support capability can provide upper layer corresponding
services with QoS guaranteed.
Description
QoS classes also refer to traffic classes. There are four different QoS classes:
Conversational class;
Streaming class;
Interactive class;
Background class.
The main difference between these QoS classes is how delay sensitive the traffic is.
Interactive class is another typical data communication scheme that on an overall
level is characterized by the request response pattern of the end-user. At the
message destination there is an entity expecting the message (response) within a
certain time. Round trip delay time is therefore one of the key attributes. Another
characteristic is that the content of the packets shall be transparently transferred (with
low bit error rate). Fundamental characteristics for Interactive QoS class include:
Request response pattern.
Preserve payload content.
There are interactive class services in PS domain while no application service in CS
domain is obviously needed. The most well known interactive traffic is web browsing.
Huawei RAN supports the following interactive services as fundamental features:
1. PS bidirectional symmetric or asymmetric interactive services at the rates of 384
kbit/s, 256 kbit/s, 144 kbit/s, 128 kbit/s, 64 kbit/s, 32 kbit/s, 16 kbit/s, and 8 kbit/s.
The higher rates can only be supported on HSDPA/HSUPA which are optional
features and described in WRFD-010610 HSDPA Service and WRFD-010612 HSUPA
Service
Enhancement
In RAN3.0, PS UL 384 kbit/s service is supported.
Dependency
CN Node and UE should support the services at the same time.
Benefits
Interactive QoS class support capability can provides upper layer corresponding

Description
QoS classes also refer to traffic classes. There are four different QoS classes:
Conversational class;
Streaming class;
Interactive class;
Background class.
第100章 The main difference between these QoS classes is how delay
sensitive the traffic is. Background class is one of the typical data communication
schemes. It is characterized by that the destination is not expecting the data within a
certain time. The scheme is thus more or less delivery time insensitive. Another
characteristic is that the content of the packets shall be transparently transferred (with
low bit error rate). Fundamental characteristics for background QoS class include:
The destination is not expecting the data within a certain time;
Preserved payload content;
There are background class services in PS domain while no application service in CS
domain is obviously needed. The most well known background traffic is background
download or E-mails.
Huawei RAN supports the following background services as fundamental features:
PS bidirectional symmetric or asymmetric background services at the rates of 384
kbit/s, 256 kbit/s, 144 kbit/s, 128 kbit/s, 64 kbit/s, 32 kbit/s, 16 kbit/s, and 8 kbit/s.
The higher rates can only be supported on HSDPA/HSUPA which are optional
features and described in WRFD-010610 HSDPA Service and WRFD-010612 HSUPA

Each RRU or Pico RRU has an independent antenna and it can cover different areas,
but several RRU digital signals can be combined to one cell in uplink and one cell
signal can replicated to several RRU in RHUB, Pico RRU or macro RRU . It has same
scramble code.
Huawei introduces this feature to the Pico RRU and RRU, which is assigned to indoor
coverage.
Enhancement

Benefits
Cell digital combination and split will not bring additional noises and signal losses
compared with the analog combination and split. It can provide larger capacity and
wider coverage.
During the soft handover or the hard handover, the RNC does not send
measurement control indication if the UE is not allowed to access a cell.
Therefore, the UE does not trigger a measurement report of that cell. As a result,
the UE cannot be handed over to that cell.
Relocation
When the target RNC (TRNC) receives a RELOCATION REQUEST message, it
decides whether or not the UE is allowed to access the destination cell.
If the UE is not allowed to access the destination cell, the relocation failure
procedure is triggered.
Handling common ID message
The RNC obtains the IMSI information of the UE in the common ID message and
decides whether or not the UE is allowed to access the current cell.
If the UE is not allowed to access the current cell, the RRC connection is
released.
Enhancement
None
Dependency
CN mode must support this feature at the same time and when it is related to Iur
interface, the RNC connected to should also support the feature.
Benefits
With this feature, the RNC can prevent UE in connected mode from moving to an un-
subscribed area. It is also a supplement feature for implementing shared networks
solutions.
In RAN 6.0 with the deployment of HSUPA feature, UE in CELL_DCH (E-DCH) state
is also supported.
Dependency
UE should support the states.
Benefits
This feature makes it possible to put UE in the proper state according to the QoS
requirements. Thus, it improves the resources usage efficiency and increases the

Benefits
The proper initial power setting can decrease the possibility of burst interference to
the network and improve the performance of the inner power control.
Four basic load thresholds are used for admission decision. They are:
Handover admission threshold
AMR conversational service admission threshold
Non AMR conversational service admission threshold
Other service admission threshold
With these thresholds, the RNC can define the proportion between speech service
and other services while ensuring handover preference.
III. NodeB credit
The NodeB credit admission includes the following:
Local cell level admission decision
Local cell group level admission decision (if any)
NodeB level admission decision
Services can access the network only after all admission decisions are passed
For details about local cell, local cell group, and capacity consumption law, please
refer to the 3GPP TS 25.433.
According to the common and dedicated channels capacity consumption laws, and
the addition, removal, and reconfiguration of the common and dedicated channels,
the controlling RNC (CRNC) debits the amount of the credit resource consumed from
or credits the amount to the capacity credit of the local cell (and local cell group, if
any) based on the spreading factor.
If the UL capacity credit and DL capacity credit are separate, the maintenance on the
local cell (and local cell group, if any) is performed in UL and DL respectively.
If the UL capacity credit and DL capacity credit are not separate, only the
maintenance on the global capacity credit is performed for the local cell (and local cell
group, if any).
IV. Iub transport layer resource
Different services have different QoS requirements, therefore, differentiated
transmission must be applied according to the service QoS requirements. The
mapping relation between service and transport resources can be configured.
The principles of Iub bandwidth admission control are described as follows:
I. Each type of path can be configured with the total bandwidth of the physical port to
which the path is connected. Thus, the total bandwidth of all paths that connect to the
port may exceed the physical bandwidth of the port. Therefore, the following two
levels of admission are necessary:
Admission control on the path level
Admission control on the port level
II. Traffic congestion and bearer congestion are considered. For admission, the only
factor that needs to be considered is the Iub resources corresponding to the traffic
class.
III. The primary path takes priority over the secondary path during admission. The
secondary path is tried when the admission attempt for the primary path fails.
For HSDPA/HSUPA, the admission control also applies. Please refer to optional
features WRFD-01061003 HSDPA Admission Control and WRFD-01061202 HSUPA
Admission Control.
In the admission control procedure, some other features can be used to improve the
access success rate. That is, the feature Rate Negotiation at Admission Control
(WRFD-010507) can be used to decide the proper resource request based on the cell
load. When the admission fails, Queuing and Pre-Emption (WRFD-010505), DRD
Introduction Package (WRFD-020400) can be used to maximize the possibility of
access to the system.
Enhancement
In RAN5.0, AMR and Non-AMR threshold for power load admission is divided.
In RAN6.0, algorithm 3 for power load admission is added.
In RAN6.0, resource reserved for handover is supported to decrease the call failure
due to the admission failure during the handover.
Dependency
None
Benefits
This feature maximizes system capacity while ensuring QoS requirements, and
improves the stability of the network.
Benefits

Huawei Node Bs support for 3rd party TMA, including AISG TMA. Huawei Node Bs
complies with AISG1.1 protocol and AISG2.0 protocol.
The TMA is power supplied from NODE B and control by Node B. Huawei Node B
can provide 10-13V output to support the TMA. All the operation management and
alarm can be configured in Node B. When a major alarm related to the TMA is
reported, the system automatically sets the attenuation value of the RX channel to 0.
After the alarm is cleared, the system automatically sets the attenuation value of the
RX channel to the configured one.
For AISG TMA, RET control signal, power, and RF signal can be transmitted via the
RF feeder cable and thus it is easy to install and maintenance. Smart bias tee can
separate DC from the feeder to power supply for LNA, and RET control signal for
RCU. In RAN5.0, Node B support TMA which is compliant with AISG1.1 specification.
In RAN6.1, AISG2.0 TMA can be supported.
Huawei provides dual TMA, which means that the TMA includes two TX/RX branches
in one unit, and only one TMA is needed in each sector. The basic function of the
TMA is described as follows. Each TMA includes two TX/RX branches and one LNA
supervision and alarm generation unit. The functions of both branches are the same
and the function of one branch is described as follows. The Rx channel of each
branch includes two Rx filters and a low noise amplifier. The low noise amplifier can
be automatically passed when the DC is faulty. There is a bias tee in the BTS port of
the TMA. For the SMART TMA, this bias tee is called the smart bias tee. It can
separate the DC from the feeder, and provide not only power supply to the LNA, but
the RET control signal to the RCU. The Tx channel includes a Tx filter.
Huawei support two kinds of TMA with the gain of 24 dB and 12 dB.
Enhancement
In RAN5.0, Node B support TMA which is compliant with AISG1.1 specification.
In RAN6.1, AISG2.0 TMA can be supported.
Dependency
None
Benefits
In the uplink coverage limited network, the use of the TMA can improve the receiver
sensitivity, enlarge the cell radius, reduce the number of NodeBs, and save the cost
of the investment.
Radome
Phase shifter
Pulling bar
RCU
Control cable
(DC+ control signals)
A pulling bar connects the step motor and the phase shifter. When the step motor is
triggered, the pulling bar moves and then the phase of the phase shifter changes
through the gearing. In this situation, the phase of the signals that arrive in each
element antenna inside the array changes regularly. Then, the direction of the main
beam of the antenna changes accordingly. The down tilt of the antenna is adjusted.
The NodeB supplies the DC power to the step motor and communicates with it
through the AISG interface on the motor.
In the Huawei RET solution, the RET system can either be remotely controlled on the
M2000 or locally controlled on the NodeB Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT). A
command is sent to the Node B on the M2000 or the LMT.
The Node B modulates that command to the On-Off-Keying (OOK) signals and RF
module transfers the DC power and the OOK signals to the STMA or the SBT through
the feeders. The STMA or the SBT demodulates the OOK signals to RS485 signals
and then supplies the RS485 signals and part of the DC power to the RCU. No
additional control cable should be added.
The HUAWEI RET solution supports the 3G RET cascading control. Several 3G RET
antennas can be cascaded and control the signal coming from the same control
cable. The cascading helps save the costs of the smart bias tees (SBTs).

The HUAWEI RET solution supports the 2G/3G RET cascading control. The 3G RET
antennas can be cascaded with the 2G RET antennas. On the 3G operation and
maintenance center (OMC), you can control the down tilt of the 2G RET antenna. The
cascading helps save the costs of smart bias tees (SBTs) and STMAs when the 2G
and 3G RET antennas are installed in the same place.

Benefits
The application of the RET can prominently improve the efficiency and minimize the
OM cost for adjusting the down tilt of the antenna. The application of the RET have
the following benefits:
The RET antennas at multiple sites can be adjusted remotely within a short
period. This improves the efficiency and saves the cost of the network
optimization.
Adjusting of the RET antenna can be performed in all weather conditions.
It is easy to operate the RET antennas located in some sites that are difficult to
access.
The configuration of the SASU900 in the GSM900 and UMTS900 co-site system
Note: We define the ANT_M as the main antenna port of the UMTS, and the ANT_D
as the diversity antenna port of the UMTS. But the ANT_D is the main antenna port of
the GSM, and the ANT_M is the diversity antenna port of the GSM.
There is a limitation when using the SASU: The GSM will only use one antenna
branch.
To allow GSM two antennas to use cases, the SASA (Same Band Antenna Sharing
Adapter) is introduced. The SASA is mainly used to combine 2 branches GSM
carriers to one antenna branch, and keep the combination/division loss as low as
possible. When sharing the antenna with WCDMA, The GSM carriers prefer to be
located separately as a “sandwich”.
