1 Basic Features

1 WOFD – 181000 Basic Features

1.1 Platform Functions


1.1.1 WOFD- 181500 Management of the Current Area and
Planned Area
Availability
This feature is available in the WRAN CME V100R003 and later versions. WRAN is short
for WCDMA Radio Access Network and CME is short for Configuration Management
Express. Hereinafter, the WRAN CME is referred to as the CME.

Summary
The CME allows users to manage the current data area and planned data area. Users can plan
data in individual planned data area that are independent of each other.
1. Current data area: The current data area works as mirroring of the configuration data on
the existing network. A Radio Access Network (RAN) system has only one current data
area. The data in the current data area can be automatically synchronized with the data on
the existing network.
2. Planned data area: The planned data area contains the data related to a certain Radio
Network System (RNS). Users can create individual planned data areas that are
independent of each other and plan data in the planned data area.
After configuring data in planned data areas, users can export the data into scripts and deliver
the scripts to NEs. Then, the data takes effect on the NEs.

Benefits
By using the current data area, users can easily obtain the latest configuration data of the
existing network.
By using the planned data area, users can plan data offline on a local computer without
affecting the existing network.

Issue V1.0 (2009-03-20) Huawei Technologies Proprietary Page 6 of 53


CME V1R8 Feature Description

Description
When the CME is integrated into the M2000, it provides a current data area and multiple
planned data areas. The multi-area management improves data configuration efficiency and
enables several users to configure the same NE at the same time.
The process of RAN optimization is complicated. Users need to analyze network performance
counters and optimization policies and solutions. The entire process is experimental. Through
the multi-area management, the CME assigns the data of the existing network and the user-
configured data to different workplaces, that is, current data area and planned data areas. The
CME allows users to concurrently configure data in respective planned data areas. If the data
configured by a user is not activated, the data on the existing network and the data configured
by other users are not affected.
Current data area:
The current data area records the RAN configuration data on the existing network. It works as
mirroring of the data on the existing network. A RAN system has only one current data area.
The CME can automatically synchronize the data in the current data area with the data on the
existing network. Users can also synchronize the data manually.
Planned data area:
The planned data area contains the data that is copied based on a certain RNS. Users can plan
data in the planned data area and create individual planned data areas that are independent of
each other. After configuring data in planned data areas, users can export the data into scripts
and deliver the scripts to NEs. Then, the data takes effect on the NEs.

Enhancement
None.

Dependency
None.

1.1.2 WOFD- 181600 Data Browsing and Searching


Availability
This feature is available in the CME V100R003 and later versions.

Summary
Before planning new data, users can browse the RAN data on the CME to learn about the data
configuration on the existing network. In this way, users can compare the new data with the
previous data during the planning, thus avoiding data conflict.
After the data is configured and takes effect, users can check whether the added or modified
data takes effect and whether it is consistent with the planned data by using the RAN data
browsing function provided by the CME.

Benefits
By using the data browsing and searching functions, users can easily browse data.

1.1.7 WOFD- 182100 Automatic Upgrade of the CME Client


Availability
This feature is available in the CME V100R008 and later versions.

Summary
1. Supports automatic upgrades of SP patches for the CME client.
2. Supports automatic upgrades of NodeB components for the CME client.

Benefits
In a version earlier than the CME V100R008, upgrades are manually performed. When a
NodeB component needs to be upgraded, the required patch package is sent to the customer,
and then the customer manually performs the upgrade. Manual upgrades become complicated
when the number of users increases. By providing this new feature, the CME V100R008
enables the customer to easily upgrade patches even when there are a great number of users.

Description
Automatic upgrades of SP patches for the CME client
The CME system consists of the following software: CMEClient, CMEServer, and
CMEAppService.
The CME AppService contains SP patches and it updates the codes and database scripts. After
the update is complete, the CME AppService proactively establishes an FTP connection with
the CMEServer. Then, it sends the patches to the CMEServer, which updates the CME version
information in the database accordingly.
When the CMEClient is started, it checks whether its current version is consistent with the
CMEAppService version. If the CMEClient version is inconsistent with the CMEAppService
version, the CMEClient is automatically upgraded to match the CMEAppService.

1.2.3 WOFD- 182500 Automatic Discovery of RNCs and NodeBs


Availability
This feature is available in the CME V100R008 and later versions.

Issue V1.0 (2009-03-20) Huawei Technologies Proprietary Page 16 of 53


CME V1R8 Feature Description

Summary
After RNCs and NodeBs are created on the M2000, the system automatically adds their
configuration data to the CME.

Benefits
When NE data is added or deleted, the system can automatically perform relevant operations
such as creating and synchronizing NEs. This avoids manual operations and ensures that the
CME data is consistent with the M2000.

Description
1. Currently, this feature is applicable to only 3G NEs, namely, RNCs and NodeBs.
2. Automatic discovery of NEs refers to the situation where the M2000 creates NEs and
synchronizes NE data successfully. The database and synchronization of the CME
depend on the M2000. Thus, data synchronization on the CME must be performed after
data on the M2000 is successfully synchronized.
3. In the case of an RNC, this feature supports the processing of NE creation on the M2000
rather than the processing of data changes of existing NEs. NE data changes are
processed by the AVC mechanism.
4. In the case of a NodeB, this feature supports the processing of both NE creation and data
change of existing NEs. In addition, the NodeB data on the CME is always consistent
with the NodeB data on the M2000.
5. The CME does not process the NEs whose data is changed and the NEs that are created
before the connection between the AppService and the CmeServer is established. If the
CME processes such NEs, the system takes a long time to create databases and
synchronize data, and these operations cannot be cancelled. To provide a good user
experience, the CME processes only NEs that are created and the NEs whose data is
changed after the connection between the AppService and the CmeServer is established.
6. When processing a newly discovered NodeB, the CME synchronizes data with the
corresponding RNC if the corresponding logical NodeB data is unavailable on the CME.
If the corresponding RNC is not created, the CME does not synchronize the NodeB.
7. When the M2000 discovers a new NodeB, users can manually synchronize the NodeB on
the CME client before the M2000 automatically performs the synchronization. If the
RNC does not have the corresponding logical NodeB at this time, this NodeB should be
marked to be separated from other NodeBs. When users synchronize this NodeB, the
RNC is synchronized accordingly.
8. If a NodeB is deleted on the M2000, the CME automatically deletes the corresponding
physical NodeB data from the system. If an RNC is deleted on the M2000, the CME
does not perform any processing.
9. In addition to the existing selection modes (namely, selecting all NEs and selecting a
specified NE), another selection mode (namely, selecting all the NEs under an RNS) is
provided for the CME upload task of the centralized task management on the M2000. In
either of the existing selection modes, the upload task is automatically modified when a
NodeB is added or deleted. In the mode of selecting a specified NE, the system does not
perform any processing when a NodeB is added or deleted. When an RNC is added or
deleted, the upload task is not processed.
10. Users are allowed to disable the automatic discovery function of all the NEs. In addition,
users are allowed to disable the real-time synchronization function of NodeBs. The real-
time synchronization function of the NodeB covers the automatic discovery function.

Issue V1.0 (2009-03-20) Huawei Technologies Proprietary Page 17 of 53


CME V1R8 Feature Description

Thus, disabling the automatic discovery function of the NodeB does not mean that the
real-time synchronization function of the NodeB is disabled.
11. The creation and synchronization of an NE should be independent of the creation and
synchronization of the other NEs. The synchronization mode of an NE can be set to
Once or Period.

Enhancement
None.

Dependency
This feature depends on the CME upload task of the centralized task management on the
M2000. To support this feature, the M2000 must provide the mode of selecting all the NEs
under an RNS.

1.2.4 WOFD- 182600 RNC Pool Management


Availability
This feature is available in the CME V100R008 and later versions.

Summary
1. Supports the basic configuration of Pool parameters.
2. Supports the basic configuration of dual-homed NodeBs and their Iub interfaces. It does
not affect the enhancement function. In the case of using an existing enhancement
function, dual-homed NodeBs are operated as single-homed NodeBs. In the case of
reparenting, dual-homed NodeBs must be modified to single-homed NodeBs and then
are reparented.
3. Supports the basic configuration of dual-homed cells and their neighboring cell relations.
It does not affect the enhancement function. In the case of using an existing enhancement
function, dual-homed cells are operated as single-homed cells and neighboring cell
relations of the dual-homed cells are processed as the neighboring cell relations of
single-homed cells.
4. Supports the configuration of dual-homed cells and their neighboring cell relations on
two RNCs. The CME imports the planning data from the two RNCs by using the radio
negotiation plan (RNP) function and then creates the primary and secondary cells and
their neighboring cell relations.

Benefits
Users can use this feature on the NE side when the CME is integrated into the M2000.
The M2000 provides the configuration for dual-homed cells of their neighboring cell relations
on both sides, which simplifies the configuration management.

This feature is available in the CME V100R008 and later versions.

Summary
The CME allows users to export the NBI (NBI) data related to the radio and transmission
interface configuration. By using the NBI data, the NMS can check the network status and
collect statistics on the network. The CME obtains the configuration data about the existing
network from the current data area and writes the data to the northbound database. The NMS
access the database to view the configuration data according to the name of the negotiation
data file.

Benefits
Devices on the network of a telecommunications operator are provided by different
manufacturers. To deal with differences between the devices and reduce workloads, users of
the NMS can manage data configuration of NEs directly through the NBIs. In this way, the
network can be efficiently planned and configured. The NMS can access the database of the
CME to obtain the required data through the NBI. The database is read only, which ensures
the security and integrity of the data.

Description
Based on the NBI model, the CME enables users to query the NBI databases. Only one NBI
database, that is, wnbidb, is provided directly to the NMS. Considering the database sizes and
the different RNC versions, only one data file is provided for an RNS at R version level. To
demonstrate the differences of RNS configuration models, multiple data files are provided for
RNSs with different R versions.
To provide uniform read-only interfaces to users, views need to be created in the RNS
databases of each R version. After the database in the current data area is updated, the data in
the views is extracted to the wnbidb database. In this way, the data security is ensured and
users can easily query the data.

Figure 1-1 Northbound database interface

Users can update the northbound database in the following ways:


1. Manually synchronize the RNS to trigger the update function of the northbound
database.
2. Manually enable the update function of the northbound database.
3. Set a scheduled task to synchronize the RNS and thus to trigger the update function of
the northbound database.
The northbound database file is named as follows: NBI_WRAN_<MOC name>_Version
number. Note that the version number is R level, for example, R008.
The file contains the negotiated radio interface and transmission interface parameters. The
radio interface parameters are as follows:
 Area information such as the LAC, SAC, RAC, URA, and MBMSSA.
 Cell
 Neighboring cell
 RNC global algorithm parameters
 Cell algorithm parameters
 Cell channel
 Information about the local cell and the related site and sector
The transmission interface parameters are as follows:
 Flow control parameters of the Iub interface

 Parameters of the physical Iub interface (ATM networking)
There are following constraints when the NMS accesses the CME database through the NBI:
1. The database can be read only by the NMS.
2. The CME database may change according to the software. In this case, the NMS needs
to be adapted for the change. Note that the adaptation of the NMS is a part of the normal
software change process.
3. When the NMS accesses the CME database through the NBI, the CME performance may
be affected. This is normal.
The NMS can connect the NBI in ODBC drive mode to access the database.

Parameter Files
Availability
This feature is available in the CME V100R008 and later versions.

Summary
This feature provides the northbound data related to the configuration of the radio and
transmission interface for the NMS to check the data and collect statistics. Configuration data
is exported as XML files by the CME and is transferred to the NMS through the FTP. The
NMS obtains the configuration data exported by the CME from the FTP directory of the
M2000 through the FTP.

Benefits
This feature enables NMS users to manage configuration data through the NBI, thus
normalizing the devices of different vendors and reducing manpower requirement. This
facilitates network planning and configuration. By using this feature, the NMS obtains the
configuration data exported by the CME from the FTP directory of the M2000 through the
FTP.

Description
This feature provides the interface for exporting files based on the northbound configuration
model. For the radio network subsystem (RNS) that has multiple versions, each R version
uses only one model to normalize the data of B versions. Different R versions use different
models to demonstrate the difference between configuration models.

2.1.9 WOFD- 184600 Interface for Importing Radio Parameters and


Configuration Files of Neighboring Cells
Availability
This feature is available in the CME V100R008 and later versions.

Summary
NMS users can manage configuration data of NEs through the Northbound interface, thus
shielding the difference between the configuration tools on different element management
layers (EMLs). As a data transfer channel, the EML transfers messages between the NMS and
the NEs. In addition, the EML provides data check management.

Issue V1.0 (2009-03-20) Huawei Technologies Proprietary Page 41 of 53


CME V1R8 Feature Description

After the radio parameters and configuration data are modified, the NMS issues the modified
parameters and configuration data to the NEs for the modification to take effect through the
CME.
The NMS imports the modified NE data into the CME. Then, the CME automatically
generates MML commands based on the imported files and issues them to NEs through the
script executor for the modification to take effect.

Benefits
The Northbound interfaces for importing and exporting data shield the difference between the
devices of different vendors, thus enable users to quickly and accurately configure and
manage the NEs based on planning.
After the data is imported, users can export it to check the data accuracy.

Description
The NMS compresses the .xml file to be imported and saves it in the specified FTP directory
on the M2000 through the FTP. The file is named based on the conventions that need to be
complied to by the NMS and the CME. The CME obtains and decompresses the file, and then
performs rule check on the data in the file. If the data passes the rule check, the CME
generates the incremental script for modifying data and issues the script to NEs. Then, the
NEs activate the script.
If the .xml file does not pass the rule check, the CME generates a rule check report in .txt
format and saves it in the specified FTP directory on the M2000. The NMS can obtain the
report from the M2000. The NEs generates a report in .xml format indicating whether the
script is successfully activated and submits the report to the CME. Then, the CME saves the
report in the specified FTP directory on the M2000. The NMS can obtain the report from the
M2000.
The following figure shows the process for importing data through the Northbound interface.

2.1.11 WOFD- 180400 NodeB Reparenting


Availability
This feature is available in the CME V100R003 and later versions.

Summary
The WRAN NodeB reparenting function is an enhanced feature provided by the CME. The
CME provides a GUI-based wizard for NodeB reparenting inside one RNC or between
different RNCs. The NodeB reparenting function adjusts the neighboring cell relations, thus
ensuring the data consistency of neighboring cell relations after the reparenting.

Benefits
Complicated operations are integrated into an easy-to-use wizard, which improves the
maintenance efficiency and accuracy.

Description
NodeB reparenting inside one RNC
During network construction, operators may need to reparent NodeBs inside one RNC or
between different RNCs owing to the following reasons:
 For adjusting the network planning during the network operation
 For balancing the load after an RNC expansion during the network operation
 For adjusting the number of NodeBs in hot spot areas and in non-hot spot areas for load
balancing between the service subracks of the RNC
For NodeB reparenting inside one RNC, the NodeB is relocated from one RNS to another or
from one subrack to another with the upper layer applications unchanged. The physical

CME V1R8 Feature Description

location of the NodeB is not changed; thus, the neighboring cell relations of its corresponding
cell and other cells remain unchanged. The consistency of neighboring cell relations is
automatically updated by the CME.
 Supporting the scenario of NodeB reparenting inside one subrack of one RNC (over
ATM)
The CME provides a GUI-based wizard for NodeB reparenting inside one subrack of one
RNC. The NodeB is relocated from one RNS to another with the upper layer applications
unchanged. The physical location of the NodeB is not changed; thus, the neighboring cell
relations of its corresponding cell and other cells remain unchanged.
 Supporting the scenario of NodeB reparenting between different subracks of one RNC
(over ATM)
The CME provides a GUI-based wizard for NodeB reparenting between subracks inside one
RNC. The NodeB is relocated from one subrack to another with the upper layer applications
unchanged. The physical location of the NodeB is not changed; thus, the neighboring cell
relations of its corresponding cell and other cells remain unchanged.
NodeB reparenting between RNCs
During network construction, operators may need to reparent NodeBs inside one RNC or
between different RNCs owning to the following reasons:
 For adjusting the network planning during the network operation
 For balancing the load after an RNC expansion during the network operation
 For adjusting the number of NodeBs in hot spots and in non-hot spots for load balancing
between the service subracks of the RNC
For NodeB reparenting between RNCs, the upper-layer applications remain unchanged, but
the location of the NodeB is changed. Therefore, the corresponding cell and the neighboring
cell relations are updated. The CME automatically handles the neighboring cell relations and
maintains the neighboring cell relations after the NodeB reparenting.

Enhancement

2.1.12 WOFD- 180500 Consistency Check for Global Data


Availability
This feature is available in the CME V100R005 and later versions.

Summary
The CME provides the Sanity Checking function to check data redundancy and consistency.
This function enables users to find the unsanitary data globally, that is, in the data of multiple
RNCs. The unsanitary data is the data that is not intact, redundant, or improper. In addition,
the CME provides the interface switchover function for data modification.

Issue V1.0 (2009-03-20) Huawei Technologies Proprietary Page 46 of 53


CME V1R8 Feature Description

Users can use this function to check data consistency among RNSs so that improperly
configured or erroneous data can be detected. By using the interface switchover function,
users can restore such data.

Benefits
Users can check data consistency by using the consistency check function provided by the
CME.
The interface switchover function of the CME helps users to restore the system.

Description
Data integrity is ensured only when configuration data is loaded on network elements and the
network elements start and run successfully. Users can set conditions for data consistency
check. The check conditions include object types and rule types under a selected object type.
The CME performs consistency check on the current configuration data. The check result has
two alarm severities: Major and Warning. Major indicates the absence of required data. Such
absence data may affect the operation of the system. Warning is an alarm severity lower than
Major. An alarm at the Warning severity does not significantly affect the operation of the
system. Based on the check result, the interface switchover function helps users to switch to
the related interface to modify data.
After data configuration is complete, users can check data redundancy on the CME. The
redundant data refers to the data that has not been used for a long time. The redundancy check
helps clear redundant data to reduce the load. It also helps ensure that obsolete data is deleted
after a data modification. Users can set conditions for checking data redundancy. The check
conditions include object types and rule types under a selected object. The CME checks the
current configuration data and provides the check result. The interface switchover function of
the CME helps users to switch to the related interface to browse information. Based on the
check result, the CME allows users to delete redundant data from the system.
By using the data consistency check function, users can perform the following operations:
 Check whether parameters of the same cell or NRNC cell configured for different RNSs
are the same.
 Check whether parameters of the same GSM cell configured for different RNSs are the
same.
 Check whether the cell that corresponds to the NRNC cell is configured.
 Check whether the names of the cell, NRNC cell, and GSM cell conflict.
 Check unidirectional neighboring cells.
Users can customize check items based on all the items provided by the system, as shown in
Figure 1-1.

from TwinCell to FddCell.
 Deactivated FddCell HSPA: deactivates the HSDPA/HSUPA service of the FddCell if
the service is activated in the check result.
 Activated TwinCell HSPA: activates the HSDPA/HSUPA service of the TwindCell if
the service is deactivated in the check result.
 Modify FddCell->TwinCell Relation BlindHo: If only one inter-frequency relation
exists from FddCell to TwinCell, and the blind handover priority is not set, set this
priority to 0.
 Refresh NCell: automatically modifies the NRNCCell data of the other RNCs in this
check, to ensure that the NRNCCell data is consistent with that of the source cell.
Users can select multiple check results for comparison, as shown Figure 1-3.

CME V1R8 Feature Description

Figure 1-3 RAN Consistency Check window

Users can perform consistency check manually or set a time point for automatic check.
Check the consistency of the Iub interface data.
By performing consistency check for the Iub interface data, users can detect inconsistent
interconnection data for the two ends of the Iub interface. This helps users to find improper or
erroneous configuration data, thus ensuring the normal communication between the RNC and
the NodeB. Iub data consistency check involves only the data at the data link layer and higher
layers. Note that the check should be performed according to the Iub protocol stack in
descending order.
Iub data consistency check is applicable to the following scenarios:
− After the Iub interface data is configured on both the RNC side and the NodeB side,
users need to perform Iub data consistency check for each NodeB connected by the
Iub interface to implement the communication between the RNC and NodeBs.
− The data on the RNC side is synchronized with the data on the NodeB side by
updating the Iub interface data. In such a case, if the data on the RNC or NodeB side
is modified, users need to perform Iub data consistency check to compare the data on
the two sides and determine whether the data modification affects the communication
between the RNC and the NodeB.

Enhancement
