1 Introduction
1.1 Scope
This document describes the implementation of the high speed mobility feature in E-UTRAN NodeBs
(eNodeBs) and provides engineering guidelines for this feature.
High speed mobility refers to the mobile connections of UEs traveling at speeds of 120 km/h or higher.
UE refers to user equipment. In high speed scenarios, the eNodeB sustains the services on UEs and
ensures the service quality by using the automatic frequency control (AFC) function.
Any managed objects (MOs), parameters, alarms, or counters described in this document correspond to
the software release delivered with this document. In the event of updates, the updates will be described
in the product documentation delivered with the latest software release.

Compared with issue 01 (2012-03-30) of eRAN3.0, issue 02 (2012-12-29) of eRAN3.0 includes the
following changes.
01 (2012-03-30)
This is the first official release.
Compared with draft A (2012-01-10) of eRAN3.0, issue 01 (2012-03-30) of eRAN3.0 includes the
following changes.
Draft A (2012-01-10)
This is a draft.
Compared with issue 02 (2011-09-30) of eRAN2.2, draft A (2012-01-10) of eRAN3.0 includes the
following changes.
f0 – 2fd. If the UE moves towards the eNodeB, the receive frequency of the UE is f0 + fd and that of the
eNodeB is f0 + 2fd.

2.4 Scheduling
In high speed scenarios, both frequency-selective scheduling and semi-persistent scheduling are not
applied. The reasons are as follows:
Frequency-selective scheduling requires better channel quality on one subcarrier than on others for a
period of time. When a UE moves at high speed, the quality of channels within the cell bandwidth
changes rapidly with time, and therefore no subcarrier has an outstanding channel quality for a period
of time.
Semi-persistent scheduling requires that the scheduled resources be retained for a period of
time, which is not suitable in high speed scenarios.
Because frequency-selective scheduling is not applied, full-band channel quality indicator (CQI)
reporting rather than sub-band CQI reporting is used in high speed scenarios. The CQI reporting interval
depends on the channel variations of the UE with time. In high speed scenarios, however, shortening the
CQI reporting interval cannot help the eNodeB to trace channel variations faster. In addition, a short
interval may result in high occupancy of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources. Therefore,
UEs in high speed mobility report CQIs at a fixed interval.
If a cell has more than one transmit antenna, the transmission mode on the radio interface can be set to
open- or closed-loop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). In closed-loop MIMO mode, the transmitter
performs precoding on signals based on the prior information about channels. If the prior information is
reliable and the associated precoding is valid, the closed-loop MIMO mode can provide much better
performance than the open-loop MIMO mode. However, the prior information is reliable and the
associated precoding is accurate only in low speed cells. If the prior information is insufficient, feedback
overhead is required in closed-loop MIMO mode. In addition, if the associated precoding does not
accurately reflect channel conditions, closed-loop MIMO may result in more costs than benefits.
Therefore, open-loop MIMO is recommended for Huawei eNodeBs in the high and ultra high speed
mobility scenarios. For details about MIMO, see MIMO Feature Parameter Description.

5 Engineering Guidelines
This chapter provides engineering guidelines for high speed mobility.
Scenario-specific Data
Scenario 1: High Speed Railways with High Frequency Band
The following table describes the parameters that must be set in a Cell managed object (MO) to
configure an ultra high speed cell.
Scenario 2: High Speed Railways with Low Frequency Band, Highways and Surrounding Areas
The following table describes a parameter that must be set in a Cell MO to configure a high speed cell.
Other parameters in this MO required for this scenario are the same as those for scenario 1. The only
difference is the setting of the Cell.RootSequenceIdx and Cell.HighSpeedFlag parameters
For descriptions of the user-defined template and summary data file and also the detailed procedure for
configuring eNodeBs in batches, see eNodeB Initial Configuration Guide.
Scenario 1: High Speed Railways with High Frequency Band
Scenario 2: High Speed Railways with Low Frequency Band, Highways and Surrounding Areas
Same as in scenario 1.
Step 3 Run the LST CELL command to query the value of the Cell.HighSpeedFlag parameter.
LOW_SPEED(Low speed cell flag) indicates a low speed cell, HIGH_SPEED(High speed cell
flag) indicates a high speed cell, and ULTRA_HIGH_SPEED(Ultra high speed cell flag)
indicates an ultra high speed cell.

5.4.5 Deactivation
Run the MOD CELL command with the Cell.HighSpeedFlag parameter set to LOW_SPEED(Low
speed cell flag).
5.6 Troubleshooting
Cells configured by referring to chapter 5 "Engineering Guidelines" can work properly in normal cases. If
they cannot work properly, perform the following steps to troubleshoot problems:
Step 1 Verify that the licenses are available and do not expire.
Step 2 Verify that the usage suggestion in section 5.1 "When to Use High Speed Mobility" has been
taken.
Step 3 Verify that the network planning suggestion in section 5.3 "Network Planning" has been taken,
such as the planning of root sequence indexes.
Step 4 Verify that the parameter setting suggestion in section 5.4 "Deploying High Speed Mobility" has
been taken.
Step 5 Verify that high speed mobility has been activated by referring to steps Step 1 and Step 2 in
section 5.4.4 "Activation Observation."
Step 6 Verify that a high speed cell or an ultra high speed cell has been configured by referring to Step 3
in section 5.4.4 "Activation Observation."
Step 7 If there are other problems, contact Huawei technical support engineers.
