High Speed Mobility 2 High Speed Mobility

2 High Speed Mobility


In the LTE system, subcarriers are closely spaced. Therefore, the LTE system is prone to Doppler shifts.
High speed movement of UEs causes great Doppler shifts, which affect the orthogonality between
subcarriers and therefore degrades system performance. To minimize the impact of Doppler shifts and
meet performance requirements in high speed scenarios, Huawei eNodeBs perform AFC in response to
frequency changes and adjust the scheduling mode.
Huawei eNodeBs support high speed mobility in two scenarios:
 High speed mobility. In this scenario, eNodeBs can provide satisfactory network performance for UEs
moving at 120 km/h.
 Ultra high speed mobility. In this scenario, eNodeBs can provide satisfactory network performance for
UEs working in 1 GHz or lower frequency band and moving at 350 km/h to 450 km/h. The performance
of ultra high speed mobility can be ensured only when there is no obstacle between UEs and
eNodeBs.
Throughout this document, the cells in the two scenarios are referred to as high speed cells and ultra
high speed cells.
This document describes the following optional features:
 LOFD-001007 High Speed Mobility
 LOFD-001008 Ultra High Speed Mobility
Unless otherwise specified, the descriptions in this document are for the two optional features.

2.1 Doppler Shift


When there is relative movement between a UE and an eNodeB, the frequency on which the UE
receives data is different from the frequency on which the eNodeB transmits data. Such a change is due
to Doppler shift. It can be calculated according to the following formula:
fd = f0/C x v x cosθ
where
 fd is the Doppler shift.
 f0 is the carrier frequency.
 C is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate.
 v is the velocity at which the UE moves.
 θ is the angle between the direction in which the UE moves relative to the eNodeB and the direction
in which the eNodeB transmits signals.
As indicated by the preceding formula, the amount of Doppler shift increases with the velocity of the UE
relative to the eNodeB. The Doppler shift may extend the receive frequency band or change the receive
frequency, and therefore causes interference within and between Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. A larger amount of Doppler shift causes severer interference. In severe
cases, the receiver fails to demodulate data even if the signal-to-noise ratio is high on channels. As a
result, the UE fails to access the network.
Figure 2-1 shows an example of Doppler shift. In this example, f0 is the center of the transmit frequency
of the eNodeB. If the UE moves away from the eNodeB, the receive frequency of the UE is f0 – fd. The
UE synchronizes its local oscillator with the receive frequency and transmits signals to the eNodeB at the
frequency of this local oscillator. Then, the eNodeB receives the signals from the UE at the frequency of

High Speed Mobility 2 High Speed Mobility

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.
Figure 2-1 Doppler shift

2.2 Automatic Frequency Control


To reduce the impact of Doppler shift, Huawei eNodeBs use AFC in ultra high speed (LOFD-001008)
scenarios. A cell can be set as an ultra high speed cell through the Cell.HighSpeedFlag parameter. The
functions of AFC are as follows:
 Initial frequency correction
During random access of UEs, an eNodeB detects frequency changes by using preambles and
performs initial frequency correction. After initial frequency correction completes, UEs can transmit
access signaling on the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).
 Continuous frequency correction
The eNodeB performs continuous frequency correction after UEs access the network. The eNodeB
estimates frequency changes based on pilot signals of the UEs and uses the results as the continuous
inputs to the frequency correction function.
Figure 2-2 shows how the AFC function works. Initial frequency correction is a coarse
adjustment whereas continuous frequency correction is fine-tuning. When a UE that has accessed the
network experiences a sudden change in channels, fine-tuning may fail to trace the frequency change.
This may result in consecutive failures to decode uplink data. In this case, a Huawei eNodeB searches
for the frequency change to ensure correct demodulation and decoding of uplink data.
Figure 2-2 Functionality of AFC

2.3 Random Access Preamble


A random access preamble sequence is defined by a root Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence and cyclic shift
sequences. The logical index to a root ZC sequence is specified by the Cell.RootSequenceIdx
parameter. For details about the Cell.RootSequenceIdx parameter, see Connection Management
Feature Parameter Description. High and low speed cells use different NCS values (NCS represents the
number of cyclic shifts), based on which limitations are applied to logical indexes. For details, see
section 5.7.2 in 3GPP TS 36.211.

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.

3.2 Mutually Exclusive Features


In ultra high speed cells, semi-persistent scheduling and frequency selective scheduling are not
supported.

3.3 Affected Features


In high speed cells, it is recommended that semi-persistent scheduling and frequency selective
scheduling be disabled.
In ultra high speed cells, it is recommended that you disable physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)
symbol adaptation and that the PDCCH always occupy three symbols to improve PDCCH demodulation
performance. If more than one antenna is used in a cell, use transmission mode 2 in the cell to improve
the transmission reliability of the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). For details about PDCCH
symbol adaptation, see Physical Channel Resource Management Feature Parameter Description.

High Speed Mobility 4 Impact on the Network

4 Impact on the Network


4.1 Impact on System Capacity
Compared with a low speed cell, a high speed cell or an ultra high speed cell has less measurement
accuracy and more inter-subcarrier interference caused by Doppler shift. This decreases system
capacity and even results in improper system operation. This feature is introduced to increase system
capacity and ensure proper system operation.

4.2 Impact on Network Performance


Compared with a low speed cell, a high speed cell or an ultra high speed cell has less measurement
accuracy and more inter-subcarrier interference caused by Doppler shift. This decreases the handover
success rate, increases the service drop rate, and even results in improper system operation. This
feature is introduced to increase network key performance indicators (KPIs) and ensure proper system
operation.

High Speed Mobility 5 Engineering Guidelines

5 Engineering Guidelines
This chapter provides engineering guidelines for high speed mobility.

5.1 When to Use High Speed Mobility


The high speed mobility and ultra high speed mobility features are optional. The Cell.HighSpeedFlag
parameter specifies whether a cell is an ultra high speed, high speed, or low speed cell.
The recommended settings for a cell are as follows:
 If the cell covers high speed railways with UEs working in high frequency band (2.6 GHz) and moving
at 350 to 450 km/h, set it as an ultra high speed cell.
 If the cell covers high speed railways with UEs working in low frequency band (1 GHz or lower) and
moving at 350 to 450 km/h, set it as a high speed cell.
 If the cell covers highways and surrounding areas, set it as a high speed cell.
 In other scenarios, set it as a low speed cell.
NOTE
The value EXTRA_HIGH_SPEED(Extra high speed cell flag) of the Cell.HighSpeedFlag parameter is reserved for
future use. It is invalid in this version. The following sections do not describe this value.

5.3 Network Planning


5.3.1 RF Planning
The relationship between the root sequence index and the cell radius for high speed cells and ultra high
speed cells involves limitations. Therefore, to ensure the use of different root sequence indexes for
cells whose coverage areas overlap, you must plan available root sequence indexes based on the cell
radius.

5.3.2 Network Topology


If the network covers high speed railways and highways, high speed mobility and ultra high speed
mobility features can be enabled to ensure satisfactory UE performance in the cells. During network
planning, ensure that the cells can directly cover high speed railways and highways. To ensure
satisfactory cell performance, very few deep-fading areas should exist that cannot be directly covered by
these cells.

5.4 Deploying High Speed Mobility


5.4.1 Deployment Requirements
Requirements for Other Functions
It is recommended that functions and parameters related to high speed mobility be set as follows:
 Frequency-selective scheduling is not supported by ultra high speed cells and not recommended for
high speed cells.
 Semi-persistent scheduling is not supported by ultra high speed cells and not recommended for high
speed cells.

Run the MOD CELL command with the Cell.HighSpeedFlag parameter set to LOW_SPEED(Low
speed cell flag).

5.5 Performance Optimization


5.5.1 Monitoring
High speed mobility may affect the handover and access performance of cells due to a relatively large
frequency offset. To evaluate the impact of high speed mobility on cell performance, observe the
following key performance indicators (KPIs) and counters on the M2000 client:
 Inter-frequency Handover Success Rate
 Intra-frequency Handover Success Rate
 L.E-RAB.SuccEst
 L.E-RAB.AttEst
If the cell access success rate (calculated by dividing L.E-RAB.SuccEst by L.E-RAB.AttEst),
Intra-frequency Handover Success Rate, or Inter-frequency Handover Success Rate decreases after
high speed mobility is activated, the Cell.RootSequenceIdx parameter or handover parameters may be
set incorrectly. To solve this problem, modify the Cell.RootSequenceIdx parameter or handover
parameters. For details about how to modify handover parameters, see Connection Management
Feature Parameter Description.

5.5.2 Parameter Optimization


Preamble sequences are used for initial frequency correction in ultra high speed cells. Preamble
sequence generation depends on cell types and logical indexes to root ZC sequences. The logical index
to a root ZC sequence is specified by the Cell.RootSequenceIdx parameter. A smaller value of this
parameter indicates a higher probability of detecting a preamble sequence. If a cell is an ultra high speed
cell and uses AFC, set the Cell.RootSequenceIdx parameter to a small value. During network planning,
it is recommended that logical indexes be set in the following order: large high speed cell, medium high
speed cell, small high speed cell, large low speed cell, medium low speed cell, and small low speed cell.
The radius of a cell determines the cell size.
If two cells are far from each other, they can use the same logical index to a root ZC sequence.

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."
