LTE TDD eRAN6.0Feature Description
Radio & Performance
1.1 LTE 2 Antenna

1.1.1 TDLOFD-001001 DL 2x2 MIMO
Availability
This feature was introduced in LTE TDD eRAN1.0.
Summary
Huawei LTE TDD eRAN1.0 supports DL 2x2 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), 2antenna transmit diversity, and adaptive MIMO schemes between UEs and eNodeBs,
improving system downlink performance.
Benefits
This feature significantly improves downlink system throughput and coverage performance
and also provides good user experience by offering higher data rates.
Description
The downlink 2x2 MIMO is critical to the LTE outperforming the legacy system. Both space
diversity and spatial multiplexing are supported as defined in LTE specifications. Huawei
eNodeBs support two DL 2x2 MIMO modes:
Transmit diversity
Open-loop spatial multiplexing
If two transmit antennas are configured for the eNodeB, the eNodeB adaptively selects one of
the two modes based on the UE rate and downlink channel quality.
Transmit diversity is a solution to mitigate signal fading and interference. By providing
several signal branches that present independently varying signal levels, the robustness of the
radio link creates a low probability that all signal copies are simultaneously in deep fading.
Spatial multiplexing is a technique to transmit independent and separately encoded data
signals, known as streams, from each of the transmit antennas that results in the space
dimension being reused, or multiplexed. If the transmitter is equipped with Ntx antennas and
the receiver has Nrx antennas, the maximum spatial multiplexing order is Ns = min (Ntx, Nrx). If
the spatial channels are independent of each other (that is, Ns different data streams are
transmitted over several independent spatial channels), it leads to an N s increase of the
spectrum efficiency or capacity.
Enhancement
None
Dependencies
The eNodeB must be configured with two transmit channels and two antennas per sector, and
the UE must be configured with a minimum of two antennas for receiving.
1.1.2 TDLOFD-001030 Support of UE Category 2/3/4

Availability
Summary
An eNodeB must obtain the signaled UE radio access capability parameters when configuring
and scheduling the UE. There are five categories defined in the protocol. When this feature is
enabled, eNodeBs support UE categories 2, 3, and 4.

1.2 LTE 4 Antenna

1.2.1 TDLOFD-001049 Single Streaming
Beamforming
Availability
Summary
This feature provides good user experience by offering higher data rates.
Benefits
This feature can significantly improve the system throughput (especially for CEUs) and
coverage performance in the uplink and downlink.
Description
The classical technique of using an antenna array for transmitting energy in the direction of
the intended receiver falls into the category of improving SINR. Beamforming achieves
increased SINR by adjusting the phase of signals transmitted on different antennas with the
aim of making the signals add-up constructively on the receiver. Huawei LTE TDD eRAN2.1
provides support on DL 8x2 and DL 4x2 Beamforming.
Enhancement
None
Dependencies
The eNodeB must be configured with a minimum of four antennas for transmission.
This feature cannot be used in the LampSite solution.
This feature is not applicable to micro eNodeBs

TDLOFD-001031 Extended CP
TDLOFD-001007 High Speed Mobility
TDLOFD-001008 Ultra High Speed Mobility
1.2.2 TDLOFD-001005 UL 4-Antenna Receive

Diversity
Availability
Summary
Receive diversity is a common type of multiple-antenna technology to improve signal
reception and to mitigate signal fading and interference. It improves network capacity and
data rates. In addition to UL 2-antenna receive diversity, Huawei eNodeBs also support 4antenna receive diversity.
Benefits
This feature improves uplink coverage and throughput.
Description
Receive diversity is a technique to mitigate signal fading and interference. Multiple
frequencies may be monitored from the same signal source or the same frequency may be
monitored from multiple antennas.
Receive diversity is a way to enhance uplink channel reception, including the PUSCH,
physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), physical random access channel (PRACH), and
sounding reference signal (SRS).
Huawei eNodeBs can work with or without RX diversity. In RX diversity mode, Huawei
eNodeBs in LTE TDD eRAN2.1 can be configured with 4 antennas (4-way) by setting the
antenna magnitude in addition to UL 2-antenna receive diversity.
Enhancement
None
Dependencies
This feature requires eNodeBs to provide enough RF channels and demodulation resources to
match the number of diversity antennas.
This feature cannot work when the bandwidth of the eNodeB equipped with the LBBPc is 5
MHz.
1.2.3 TDLOFD-001058 UL 2x4 MU-MIMO

Availability
Summary
Huawei LTE TDD eRAN2.2 supports UL 2x4 MU-MIMO between UEs and eNodeBs to
improve system uplink performance. A maximum of UEs can share the same time-frequency
resources to multiplex these resources.
Benefits
This feature improves the overall cell uplink throughput by allowing two users to transmit
data using the same time-frequency resources.
Description
If four receive antennas are configured for an eNodeB, the eNodeB adaptively selects
between UL 2x4 MU-MIMO and UL 4-antenna receive diversity.
The eNodeB measures the UE uplink channel SINR and channel orthogonality with another
UE. If the UE has adequate channel quality indicator (CQI) and channel orthogonality with
the other UE, 2x4 MU-MIMO is used. Otherwise, 4-antenna receive diversity is used.
UL 2x4 MU-MIMO is only used for the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).
Enhancement
In LTE TDD eRAN6.0, UL 2x4 MU-MIMO can be used with uplink-downlink subframe
configuration type 0.
Dependencies
This feature requires an eNodeB to provide four RX channels and four antennas per sector.
This feature is only applicable to Non-GBR bears.
This feature requires the following features:
TDLOFD-001015 Enhanced Scheduling
TDLOFD-001005 UL 4-Antenna Receive Diversity
When the LBBPc is configured, this feature cannot be used with the following features:
TDLOFD-001075 SFN
TDLOFD-002008 Adaptive SFN/SDMA
TDLOFD-001098 Inter-BBP SFN

1 Interference Handling
1.2.4 TDLOFD-001012 UL Interference Rejection
Combining
Availability
Summary
In addition to DL and UL inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC), Huawei LTE TDD
eRAN1.0 provides interference rejection combining (IRC) to effectively mitigate inter-cell
interference.
Benefits
This feature improves system performance in the presence of interference. Therefore,
enhanced network coverage and better service quality are provided for CEUs.
Description
IRC is a receive-antenna combining technique to effectively mitigate inter-cell interference.
IRC is often used together with receive diversity. In theory, IRC can be used for MIMO
decoding, and it is particularly effective for colored interference.
The main advantage of IRC is that it can outperform maximum ratio combining (MRC) in
terms of signal demodulation in the presence of interference or congestion.
Enhancement
None
Dependencies
eNodeBs must be configured with two or more receive antennas.
1.2.5 TDLOFD-001094 Control Channel IRC

Availability
This feature is introduced in LTE TDD eRAN6.0.
Summary
This feature prevents the PUCCH from being affected by inter-cell interference.
Benefits
This feature enhances interference resistance for uplink control channels and improves control
channel coverage.
Description
IRC combines signals on the PUCCH received by multiple antennas. Compared with MRC,
IRC performs better on colored interference mitigation.
eNodeBs support adaptive switching between IRC and MRC for PUCCHs. When there is
colored interference, eNodeBs select IRC. In other cases, eNodeBs select MRC.
Enhancement
None
Dependencies
This feature requires one of the following features:
TDLBFD-00202001 UL 2-Antenna Receive Diversity
eNodeBs must be configured with two or more receive antennas and the LBBPd is required.
1.2.6 TDLOFD-001075 SFN

Availability
Summary
This feature combines multiple common cells in one single frequency network (SFN) cell.
SFN implements the joint scheduling of air interface resources in multiple cells by
transmitting the same data on the same time-frequency resource of different cells.
SFN transforms co-channel interference into useful signals in the downlink, cancels inter-cell
co-channel interference in the uplink, and greatly improves the SINR at the cell edge.
Benefits
This feature reduces interference at the cell edge in a densely populated area.
Description
An SFN cell is a combination of multiple common cells, which use the same cell ID and
apply joint time-frequency resource scheduling. SFN converts inter-cell interference into the
time-frequency resources scheduled inside the SFN cell, and increases the proportion of UEs
with a high SINR in the entire RAN.
In the downlink, joint scheduling is used and all RRUs transmit the same signals except the
physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) of beamforming users and UE-specific
reference signals.
In the uplink, joint scheduling is used at the physical and Media Access Control (MAC)
layers. According to the measurement reports of a UE at the physical layer, the MAC layer
selects the serving RRU with the best channel quality for the UE. The physical layer
processes all UE signals and reports only the serving RRU physical uplink shared channel
(PUSCH) and physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) of the UE to the MAC layer.
In eRAN3.0, a maximum of three cells can be combined into an SFN cell.
Enhancement
In eRAN3.1, eNodeBs supported multi-user beamforming and UL CoMP in SFN cells, and
allowed a maximum of seven cells to be combined into an SFN cell.
In LTE TDD eRAN6.0, eNodeBs can work in 2T2R mode only in the LampSite solution.
Dependencies
The eNodeB must be configured with a minimum of two antennas for transmission and
receiving.

1.2.7 TDLOFD-002008 Adaptive SFN/SDMA

Availability
Summary
When multiple common cells are combined into an SFN cell, the eNodeB classifies the users
according to their signal quality, and implements adaptive joint scheduling and independent
scheduling of time-frequency resources in multiple cells. The space division multiple access
(SDMA) technology was introduced to implement independent scheduling of time-frequency
resources in multiple cells.
Benefits
Adaptive SFN/SDMA increases resource usage and improves system throughput while
ensuring coverage quality.
Description
Based on the uplink reference signal received power (RSRP), the eNodeB determines UE
attributes and then performs one of the following functions:
Joint scheduling of resources in all cells
Joint scheduling of resources in some cells
Independent scheduling of resources in a single cell
In addition, the eNodeB collects the working RRU list. The PDSCHs and PUSCHs of the
RRUs in this list will be scheduled jointly or independently.
Enhancement

1.3 UL CoMP
1.3.1 TDLOFD-001066 Intra-eNodeB UL CoMP
Availability
Summary
UL coordinated multi-point transmission/reception technology (CoMP) provides joint
receiving and interference attenuating functions for neighboring cells within the same
eNodeB.
Benefits
This feature increases UL throughput for CEUs between two cells within one eNodeB.
Description
When this feature is enabled, an eNodeB performs the following functions:
Joint receiving
This feature uses two adjacent cells (each of which has two RX channels) to receive the
data from a single UE on uplink physical channels. This UE is called CoMP UE, and is
at the edge of the serving cell and near the coordinating cell at the same time.
Interference attenuating
A CoMP UE in the serving cell provides signals to its coordinating cell, which can be
used by the coordinating cell to attenuate the interference on the UEs using the same
physical resource block (PRBs) in the coordinating cell.
Enhancement
In LTE TDD eRAN6.0, eNodeBs can work in 4T4R mode.
Dependencies
This feature only applies to macro eNodeBs.
The total number of activated cells in one LBBP must be equal to or less than 3.
TDLOFD-001075 SFN
This feature can coexist but cannot work simultaneously with TDLOFD-001058 UL 2x4 MUMIMO.
When the UlHoppingType parameter in the CellUlschAlgo MO is set to Hopping_OFF, UL
CoMP is enabled.

1.4.2 TDLOFD-001015 Enhanced Scheduling

TDLOFD-00101501 CQI Adjustment
Availability
Summary
This feature enhances the conventional AMC scheme by introducing downlink CQI
adjustment. It provides additional performance gains.
Benefits
This feature brings the following benefits:
Effectively compensates for inaccurate CQI measurement and makes the modulation and
coding scheme (MCS) selection more accurate by using a closed-loop mechanism.
Improves system capacity by selecting an accurate MCS.
Allows an adaptive CQI measurement in different scenarios and therefore improves

system capacity.
Description
Under the conventional AMC scheme, the eNodeB chooses an MCS for a UE based on the
reported CQI. As a result, the MCS will mainly change according to the reported CQI.
However, the UE measurement error and channel fading affects the accuracy of the reported
CQI to some extent. MCS selection based on an inaccurate CQI will cause a failure to reach
the block error rate (BLER) target in DL transmission. The conventional AMC scheme does
not have a closed-loop feedback mechanism to guarantee that the actual BLER reaches the
BLER target.
The CQI adjustment scheme introduces a closed-loop mechanism to compensate for CQI
measurement errors. When an eNodeB selects the MCS for DL transmission, in addition to
the CQI and transmit power, the eNodeB also considers the difference between the target
BLER and the actual BLER. Note that the actual BLER is calculated based on the closed-loop
ACK/NACK that the eNodeB received in DL transmission. In addition, the closed-loop
mechanism used in the CQI adjustment scheme allows the eNodeB to instruct a UE to change
the BLER target for CQI reporting, which can maximize system throughput.

TDLOFD-00101502 Dynamic Scheduling

Availability
Summary
This feature achieves efficient resource utilization. The fairness between different UEs is also
considered in the function. The dynamic scheduling algorithm is mainly used for guaranteed
bit rate (GBR) and non-GBR services.
Benefits
This feature provides the following benefits:
Achieves efficient resource utilization.
Achieves an optimal tradeoff among throughput, fairness, and QoS.
Description
This feature achieves efficient resource utilization on a shared channel. In an LTE system, the
scheduler allocates resources to the UEs every 1 ms or every one TTI. The scheduling
algorithm must achieve a balanced tradeoff between priority differentiation among different
services and fairness among users.
The UL scheduler uses the token bucket algorithm to control GBR and non-GBR service
rates. The proportional fair (PF) algorithm is the basic strategy to ensure scheduling priorities
(based on the QCI) among different services. High priorities are assigned to IMS signaling
and GBR services. When the congestion indicator from the load control algorithm is received,
the scheduler may reduce the guaranteed data rate for GBR services. The scheduler may also
consider the input from UL ICIC to reduce interference. QCI is short for QoS class identifier.
The DL scheduler uses an enhanced scheduling strategy. For GBR services, priorities are
calculated based on user channel quality and service packet delay. For non-GBR services, in
addition to user channel quality, the scheduled service throughput is also considered for
calculating the priority. The enhanced DL scheduler can guarantee an optimal tradeoff among
throughput, fairness, and QoS guarantee. Like the UL scheduler, the DL scheduler also
considers DL ICIC input to reduce inter-cell interference.
Enhancement
In LTE TDD eRAN6.0, when the Uu resources of a cell are congested, there is a possibility
that non-GBR services cannot be granted resources because non-GBR services have a lower
priority than GBR services. To address this issue, this feature allows a preset proportion of
resources to be reserved for non-GBR services, which ensures that there are always resources
for downlink non-GBR services.

1.4.3 TDLOFD-001028 TCP Proxy Enhancer (TPE)

Availability
Summary
A series of enhanced Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) functions adaptive to RAN link
characteristics are implemented in the eNodeB. This feature greatly improves the performance
of the TCP protocol (derived from the wired network) in the wireless network, therefore
enhancing user experience and system efficiency.
Benefits
Mitigates the negative impact of some factors (such as RAN packet loss) on TCP data
transmission performance.
Accelerates slow startup and fast retransmission of the server during data transmission.
Greatly improves TCP transmission performance.
Description
The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol is used worldwide. It
was initially developed for wired transmission and later used in wireless networks. However,
wireless networks exhibit some characteristics quite different from the wired network. To
mitigate this effect, a number of enhancements have been implemented in the eNodeB.
The TPE functionality, implemented in the eNodeB, improves data transmission performance
in the wireless network. The TPE processes the TCP/IP packets by adopting the following
TCP performance optimization technologies:
ACK splitting
The congestion window is updated according to the number of received ACK messages
and is expanded by increasing the number of ACK messages. When slow startup occurs,
ACK splitting can quickly recover the congestion window. When the sender is in
congestion avoidance mode, ACK splitting can accelerate expansion of the congestion
window.
Enhancement
In LTE TDD eRAN6.0, this feature is enhanced by introducing the uplink ACK control
function to prevent bursts of ACKs.
In an LTE system, fluctuations over the air interface are inevitable. To ensure correct uplink
data transmission, HARQ or automatic repeat request (ARQ) is performed in the uplink to
ensure correct data transmission. According to 3GPP specifications for LTE, packets at the
Radio Link Control (RLC) layer must be transmitted in sequence. However, the HARQ/ARQ
transmission takes at least 8 ms, which may delay the in-sequence transmission of packets. If
the transmission is delayed, the packets to be transmitted are buffered, and then burst. For
downlink TCP services, ACK packets may also burst. As a result, downlink TCP services
burst as well, causing packet loss if the buffer of the transmission equipment is limited.
The ACK control function manages the uplink ACK traffic to prevent bursts of ACKs. If the
number of ACKs exceeds a threshold, the remaining ACKs are buffered for transmission in
the next transmission period. As a result, the ACK control function prevents bursts of
downlink data, reduces the packet loss rate, and increases average throughput.

1.4.4 TDLOFD-001027 Active Queue Management

(AQM)
Availability
Summary
This feature provides an optimized buffer handling method to positively interact with the TCP
protocol and shorten the buffering delay.
Benefits
This feature decreases the delay of interactive services and improves user experience.
Description
In an interactive connection, the packet data to be transmitted is typically characterized by
large variations. To address this issue, the buffer is introduced. However, if the buffer is filled
or an overflow occurs, data packet loss will result.
Currently, TCP is the main transport layer protocol used on the Internet. Packet loss is
regarded as link congestion by TCP, and TCP will correspondingly reduce the data
transmission rate. The TCP protocol is also sensitive to round trip delay and will act
differently if just one packet is lost or if a burst of packets is lost. If a large number of packets
are discarded, it may take considerable time for the data rate to increase again, leading to low
radio link utilization and causing long delays for users.
In addition, if a user is performing concurrent services (such as FTP download and web
browsing), the file download as a dominant stream fills the buffers, leading to a long delay for
web browsing.
This feature can be disabled or enabled.

1.4.5 TDLOFD-001029 Enhanced Admission Control

TDLOFD-00102901 Radio/transport Resource Pre-emption
Availability
Summary
This feature enables service differentiation when the network is congested to provide better
services for high-priority users.
Benefits
This feature provides operators with a method to differentiate users according to priorities.
High-priority users can still obtain system resources in cases of resource limitation. In this
way, operators can provide better service to those high-priority users.
Description
Pre-emption is a function related to admission control and is the method for differentiating
services. It enables operators to provide different services by setting different priorities, which
affect the service setup success rate during the service setup procedure. If there are not enough
resources and a new service is not admitted to access the network, high-priority users have
more chances to access the network than low-priority users, and the resources of low-priority
users are pre-empted.
Priority information is obtained from the E-RAB-specific QoS parameters, including the
allocation/retention priority (ARP), in the ERAB SETUP REQUEST message. The eNodeB
assigns user priority based on ARP values. E-RAB is short for E-UTRAN radio access bearer.
Pre-emption is performed if service admission fails due to lack of resources, including S1
transmission resources and radio resources (for example, admission based on the QoS
satisfaction rate fails). The attributes of Pre-emption Capability and Pre-emption Vulnerability
indicate the capability of pre-empting resources of other services and vulnerability to preemption by other services, respectively.
Pre-emption is not triggered for a signaling radio bearer (SRB) if resource allocation for SRB
fails. Emergency call (for example, E911) service has top priority, and therefore always has
pre-emption capability. In general, common services cannot pre-empt the resources for SRBs,
emergency calls, or IMS signaling.
Enhancement
In LTE TDD eRAN6.0, this feature allows resource pre-emption when the number of UEs that
have accessed cells reaches the maximum number of UEs supported by an eNodeB. With this
enhancement, high-priority services and services that must be guaranteed according to local
laws and regulations can pre-empt the resources of common services.
An eNodeB allows RRC connections to be established for all UEs that initially access the
network. During E-RAB setup, the eNodeB enables high-priority services and emergency
calls to pre-empt the resources of common services. The eNodeB selects high-priority
services and emergency calls based on ARP values, and selects common services, whose
resources are to be pre-empted, in the following sequence: non-GBR services on
unsynchronized UEs, non-GBR services on synchronized UEs, and low-priority GBR
services.
Dependencies
This feature requires the core network to bring the ARP IE to eNodeB during E-RAB
assignment procedure so that the eNodeB can obtain service priorities with those E-RAB
parameters.
1.4.6 TDLOFD-001054 Flexible User Steering

TDLOFD-00105401 Camp & Handover Based on SPID
Availability
Summary
This feature helps operators control UE mobility to enable it camp in, be redirected to, or be
handed over to a suitable cell. The priorities for cell selection are predefined and configured
on the eNodeB by using the subscriber profile ID for RAT/frequency priority (SPID).
Benefits
Operators can enable users to camp in, be redirected to, or be handed over to a suitable LTE,
UMTS, or GSM cell or frequency based on service characteristics. For a data centric
subscriber, an LTE cell is more suitable than a UMTS cell or a GSM cell; for a voice centric
subscriber, a GSM cell or a UMTS cell is more suitable than an LTE cell.
Description
The SPID is an index of user information (such as the mobility profile and service usage
profile). The information is UE-specific and applies to all its radio bearers.
The eNodeB maps this index to locally defined configuration to apply specific radio resource
management (RRM) policies (such as defining priorities in RRC_IDLE mode and controlling
inter-RAT or inter-frequency redirection or handover in RRC_CONNECTED mode).
In RRC_IDLE mode, a UE can camp in a cell with a suitable RAT or frequency.
In RRC_CONNECTED mode, when load balance or overload control triggers an interfrequency or inter-RAT handover or redirection, the eNodeB selects a suitable target cell
based on the priorities indexed by its SPID. In addition, when the UE completes a service, the
eNodeB can release it to a suitable cell according to its SPID priority. In case of overload,
UEs without SPIDs can also be redirected to a suitable cell based on common priority and
overload information.
Therefore, an operator can enable a user to camp in, be redirected to, or be handed over to a
suitable cell according to its subscription. For example, a dongle user usually stays in an LTE
high frequency band for a high service rate; a VoIP user preferentially stays in an LTE low
frequency band to guarantee continuous coverage.

1.4.7 TDLOFD-001059 UL Pre-allocation Based on

SPID
Availability
Summary
Operators can configure a suitable SPID on the core network for each UE. When a UE
accesses the network, its SPID is transmitted to the eNodeB. Based on the SPID, the eNodeB
enables or disables the UL pre-allocation for the UE.
Benefits
Operators can assign different UL pre-allocation capabilities for different UEs. UL preallocation is used for light-loaded cells to decrease the latency for a certain UE.
Description
The SPID is an index of user information (such as the mobility profile and service usage
profile). The information is UE-specific and applies to all its radio bearers.
The eNodeB maps this index to locally defined configuration to apply specific RRM policies.
The UL pre-allocation functionality allocates PUSCH RBs to a UE in a light-loaded cell even
if the sending buffer of the UE is empty. This feature allows the UE to quickly obtain the
transmission chance and accelerates the ACK of a DL RRC signaling message.
UL pre-allocation decreases UE transmission delay but increases UE power consumption.
Operators can modify related parameters to achieve an optimal tradeoff between transmission
delay and power consumption.

1.4.8 TDLOFD-001109 DL Non-GBR Packet Bundling

Availability
Summary
This feature introduces delay control and bundles downlink packets before transmission.
Benefits
Reduces PDCCH overhead and increases PDCCH capacity.
Meets the delay requirements of best effort (BE) services and increases the eNodeB
throughput when both GBR and non-GBR services are in use.
Description
This feature primarily introduces delay control for BE services.
When the network load is light and resources for control and traffic channels are sufficient,
the eNodeB does not perform delay-based downlink packet bundling. If the packet delay
increases with the network load, the eNodeB bundles downlink packets to reduce PDCCH
overhead to improve BE service quality. The eNodeB also increases throughput when users
are performing both GBR and non-GBR services.

Summary
This feature reduces the common public radio interface (CPRI) bandwidth required by a cell.
Benefits

Decreases the number of optical fibers.
Reduces eNodeB installation and reconstruction costs.
Description
This feature decreases CPRI bandwidth resources required by a cell. More RRUs can be
cascaded on a CPRI port without changing the CPRI line rate, cell bandwidth, or number of
antennas for the cell. This reduces eNodeB installation and reconstruction costs.
When this feature is enabled, the CPRI data on the LBBPd and LBBPc decreases to about
50% and 60% of the original CPRI data, respectively. The extent of reduction is determined

TDLOFD-00110502 High-Mobility-Triggered Idle Mode
Availability
Summary
This feature enables a fast-moving UE to switch from always-online to idle mode if the
amount of signaling that increases due to frequent UE handovers is greater than the amount of
signaling that decreases when the UE is in the always-online state.
Benefits
This feature reduces signaling to protect the network against signaling storms.
Description
This feature provides the following functions:
Checks whether always-online UEs are in the high-mobility state.

This feature applies to UEs that have entered the always-online state. Generally, UEs
stay in connected mode when they are using applications that require heartbeat
messages, such as IM, Facebook, or Twitter.
With this feature, an eNodeB checks the UE speed, packet transmission status, and
duration when the UE camps on a cell. Based on the check results, the eNodeB
determines whether the UE meets the conditions to enter idle mode to minimize
signaling impact.
Supports feature performance monitoring.

To monitor the performance of this feature, check the control-plane CPU usage and the
number of handovers before and after this feature is enabled.

Summary
This feature allows eNodeBs to provide services for UEs moving at up to 208 km/h (Band
38/39/40/41) and 79 km/h (Band 42/43) with good performance. High-speed access is one of
the key features in Huawei SingleRAN LTE solutions to provide high-speed coverage.
Benefits
Allows Huawei LTE systems to provide good coverage for UEs moving at up to 120
km/h.
Provides seamless coverage in a high-speed scenario.
Description
This feature enables Huawei LTE systems to operate and perform well in high-speed
scenarios.
When a UE moves at high speeds, the fast fading effect on the LTE system becomes severe. It
is more difficult to achieve the same performance at high-speeds as compared to normal
speeds.
Huawei LTE TDD eRAN1.0 supports UE velocity up to 208 km/h (Band 38/39/40/41) and 79
km/h (Band 42/43), which covers most mobility scenarios in urban areas. The eNodeB must
measure the UE mobility speed and refine the channel estimation scheme accordingly. In
addition, the MIMO scheme and resource allocation mechanism are adaptively adjusted by
the radio resource management (RRM) function to meet high-speed performance
requirements. For example, frequency diversity mode is more suitable than frequencyselective scheduling, as is transmit diversity rather than spatial multiplexing for a UE at high
speeds.

Management
TDLOFD-00301101 Transport Overbooking
Availability
Summary
This feature allows the admission of more users while guaranteeing QoS by using the
following mechanisms:
Enhanced admission control mechanism: Transport Admission Control (TAC).
QoS mechanisms: traffic shaping and congestion control.
Benefits
This feature increases the number of admitted users.
Description
The implementation of this feature requires the following mechanisms:
TAC: Allows the bandwidth for user admission control to be larger than the bandwidth of
the physical port. By using this mechanism, operators can set the admission threshold to
allow the admission of more users.
Traffic shaping: Guarantees that the total available traffic bandwidth is not larger than
the total configured bandwidth. The minimum transmission bandwidth of each resource
group supported by eNodeB is 64 kbit/s for dual rate and 32 kbit/s for single rate. The
bandwidth granularity is 1 kbit/s.
Congestion control: Detects congestion. If congestion is detected, a signal is sent to the

data source indicating congestion and then selected low-priority packets are discarded.
Enhancement
None
Dependencies
The core network must support this feature because SAE uses the TAC over the S1 interface.
TDLOFD-00301102 Transport Differentiated Flow Control

Availability
Summary
This feature enhances the following mechanisms:
Admission control: TAC.
Queue scheduling: priority queue (PQ) scheduling and WRR scheduling.
Back-pressure flow control.
Benefits
This feature provides users with differentiated services while guaranteeing equitable
distribution of bandwidth.
Description
Transmission differentiated flow control provides users with differentiated services while
guaranteeing equitable distribution of bandwidth.
Equitable distribution of bandwidth: Each admitted user can be allocated some

bandwidth.
Differentiation: High-priority users take precedence over low-priority users.
The implementation of this feature requires the following mechanisms:
TAC: In case of GBR services, the bandwidth allocated to services is computed based on
the GBR. Otherwise, it is computed based on the default reserved bandwidth (for
example, non-GBR services).
Queue scheduling: Services enter PQ and WRR queues based on service priorities.
Services that enter the PQ queues have the highest scheduling priority, and services that
enter the WRR queues are scheduled according to the weight, which is computed based
on the service bandwidth. Each service has a weight and then an opportunity to be
scheduled.
Back-pressure flow control: Detects congestion on the S1 interface. If congestion is

detected, a signal is sent to the data source indicating congestion and then selected lowpriority packets are discarded.

TDLOFD-00301103 Transport Resource Overload Control

Availability
Summary
This feature rapidly enhances transmission stability when transmission resources are
unexpectedly overloaded.
Benefits
This feature provides protection for the system when transmission resources are unexpectedly
overloaded.
Description
There are two scenarios of unexpected overload:
The transport bearer bandwidth (the bandwidth available in the system) is greatly
increased or decreased. For example, the transmission bandwidth decreases from 20
Mbit/s to 10 Mbit/s because of network failure.
The traffic bandwidth (the bandwidth used in the system) is greatly increased or
decreased. For example, the traffic bandwidth rapidly increases from 5 Mb/s to 10 Mb/s.
In either of the preceding scenarios, actions such as releasing low-priority users must be taken
to guarantee QoS for high-priority users.
The actions to be taken depend on the ARP, which defines whether a user can be released
when transmission resources are overloaded.

Summary
This feature enhances performance management by providing an E2E network monitoring
mechanism and acquiring key performance indicators (KPIs) such as information about traffic
volume, packet loss rate, delay, and jitter.
Benefits
Allows operators to monitor E2E network performance.
Enhances system maintainability and testability.
Improves system performance.
Description
This feature complies with a Huawei proprietary protocol.
An eNodeB periodically sends detecting packets to the peer device such as the S-GW, and the
peer device returns the response packets. The eNodeB acquires KPIs, such as traffic volume,
packet loss rate, delay, and jitter from these response packets. These KPIs allow operators to
learn about the network quality and provide a reference for taking actions, such as network
optimization and network expansion.
In addition, the IP PM feature helps operators to identify whether a fault occurred in
transmission network devices or LTE devices when LTE devices such as the eNodeB and SGW are enabled with IP PM. Furthermore, if all NEs are enabled with IP PM, the fault can be
quickly located.

Summary
According to the network quality detected by IP PM, the transmission dynamic flow control
feature can dynamically adjust flow control parameters.
Benefits
Flow control parameters are dynamically adjusted to adapt to network quality, which changes
dynamically.
Description
When network quality is unstable, it is recommended to dynamically adjust flow control
parameters, such as bandwidth. This feature provides a method to dynamically adjust QoS
parameters according to the network quality detected by IPPM. For example, when the
network quality is good, transmission dynamic flow control automatically increases the
bandwidth incrementally. Otherwise, it decreases the bandwidth.

TDLOFD-00301302 IEEE1588 V2 Clock Synchronization
Availability
Summary
The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) in IEEE1588 defines precision to the microsecond and
applies to the standard Ethernet.
This feature implements precise synchronization of distributed and independent clocks in
measurement and control systems. LTE networks can achieve high-accuracy frequency
synchronization and time synchronization between clock servers and eNodeBs.
IEEE1588 V2 clock synchronization is an alternative clock solution for GPS clock
synchronization.
Benefits
Compared with the GPS clock solution, IEEE1588 V2 clock synchronization reduces the
network deployment cost for operators and offers easy management and maintenance.
Description
This section describes basic principles as well as synchronization principles and signaling
procedure in the IEEE1588 standard.
Basic principles in the IEEE1588 standard.

Figure 2.1.3.I.1.1.1 illustrates the basic principles defined in the IEEE1588 standard.
Figure 2.1.3.I.1.1.1 Basic principles defined in the IEEE1588 standard
The NE with the master clock sends synchronization timing packets to the NE with the
slave clock. The intermediate switching device connects to the NE with the master clock
and functions as a slave clock to obtain the timing information on the transmission of the
master clock. Then, the intermediate switching device functions as a master clock and
connects to other devices functioning as slave clocks.
The Time Stamp Unit (TSU) implements precise time synchronization to reduce delay
and jitter caused by the intermediate switching device and sends accurate timing
information. Synchronization processing is shifted to the layer between the physical
layer and the MAC layer.
Synchronization principles
Figure 2.1.3.I.1.1.2 illustrates synchronization principles in the IEEE1588 standard.
Figure 2.1.3.I.1.1.2 Synchronization principles in the IEEE1588 standard
The signaling procedure is as follows:

1
The clock server (for example, the IPCLK1000) periodically sends a Sync message to
the eNodeB.
The Sync message carries standard time information, such as year, month, date, hour,
minute, second, and nanosecond. The eNodeB records T2, which indicates the Sync
message arrival time at the eNodeB. The time for sending or receiving the message must
be measured and recorded at the underlying physical layer or close to the physical layer
to improve clock accuracy.
In the IEEE1588 standard, the optional hardware assist techniques are designed to
improve clock accuracy. If the Sync message is generated by using hardware assist
techniques, the message can also carry the timestamp T1, indicating when the message is
sent. If the Sync message delay from the clock server is uncertain, the clock server
generates a Follow_UP message, which carries the timestamp T1. The Follow_UP
message is optional.
2.
The eNodeB sends a Delay_req message to the clock server at T3.

The eNodeB records T3. The clock server receives the Delay_req message at T4 and
then generates a Delay_resp message that carries the timestamp T4 to the eNodeB. The
delay sending the Delay_resp message does not affect T4. Therefore, the Delay_resp
message does not require real-time processing.
3.
The eNodeB saves complete information for T1, T2, T3, and T4.
Then, the delay of message exchange between the clock server and the eNodeB is
calculated as follows:
Delay = [(T4 T1) (T3 T2)]/2
In principle, the absolute time of the eNodeB is equal to the standard time plus the delay
carried in the Sync message.
In LTE TDD eRAN2.2, IEEE1588 V2 security in frequency synchronization mode is

enhanced by transmitting IEEE1588 V2related messages on Internet Protocol Security
(IPsec) tunnels.
Enhancement
None
Dependencies
For time synchronization, all devices on the clock relay path must support the IEEE1588V2
standard. For frequency synchronization, there is no requirement for devices on the clock

transmitted on IPsec tunnels.
2.1.4 TDLOFD-003016 Different Transport Paths

based on QoS Grade
Availability
Summary
This feature provides a transmission networking solution that consists of different transport
paths to implement different QCI grades.
Benefits
Improves QoE.
Improves network reliability.
Description
This feature provides two logical or physical paths set up between the eNodeB and the MME
or S-GW. The transmission network can be configured with two groups of different QCIs that
are allocated to two paths with different priorities. Services with a high QCI can be carried on
the high-priority path and services with a low QCI can be carried on the low-priority path.
This improves QoE.
Figure 2.1.4.I.1.1.1 Two paths configured between the eNodeB and the MME or S-GW
Different transport paths based on QoS grade can also improve network reliability. When one
path fails, the connection is released and new data traffic will be handed over to another path.
After the failed path recovers, the related traffic flow can again be transmitted over the
original path. Huawei eNodeBs support multiple OAM mechanisms to detect and handle path
failures, such as BFD, Ethernet OAM, Ping, ARP and SON.

2.1.5 TDLOFD-001134 Virtual Routing & Forwarding

Availability
Summary
This feature allows eNodeBs to connect to different operator networks that may be configured
with the same internal IP addresses.
Benefits
This feature greatly reduces the capital expenditure (CAPEX) and OPEX of operators.
Description
In a wholesale scenario, an eNodeB connects to each retailer's network, for which the retailer
operator has deployed the NEs and independently planned internal IP addresses.
When different operator networks are configured with the same internal IP address, this
feature allows an eNodeB to connect to the networks. The eNodeB prevents the destination IP
address of each route from conflicting with others and independently forwards packets in each
routing area. In this way, this feature prevents IP address conflicts between networks without
changing the internal IP addresses.

Availability
Summary
This feature provides confidentiality protection for both signaling and user data between
eNodeBs and UEs.
Benefits
This feature prevents signaling data and user data from being illegally intercepted and
modified.
Description
The eNodeB provides encryption for RRC signaling and user data. The encryption function
consists of ciphering and deciphering and is performed at the Packet Data Convergence
Protocol (PDCP) layer. After receiving the UE context from the EPC, the eNodeB initiates the
initial security activation procedure. During RRC connection setup, an encryption algorithm is
selected and an encryption key is generated based on the RRC protocol. All radio bearers use
the encryption algorithm and key. For example, the configuration is used for the radio bearers
carrying signaling data as well as for those carrying user data.
The encryption algorithm can be changed by a handover. The encryption key can be changed
by a handover or RRC connection setup. The encryption keys for a UE in

Availability
Summary
IPsec is used to protect, authenticate, and encrypt data flow for necessary security between
two NEs at the IP layer.
Benefits
This feature provides the security mechanism, confidentiality, integrity, and authentication
between two NEs at the IP layer.
Description
Figure 2.2.2.I.1.1.1 illustrates IPsec.
Figure 2.2.2.I.1.1.1 IPsec
IPsec provides a framework of open standards dealing with data confidentiality, integrity, and
authentication between two NEs. IPsec provides these security services at the IP layer. It uses
IKEV1 and IKEV2 for negotiation of protocols and algorithms based on the local policy and
to generate the encryption and authentication keys used by IPsec. IKE stands for Internet Key
Exchange.
IPsec protects one or more data flows between two eNodeBs, between the eNodeB and S-GW

2.2.3 TDLOFD-003010 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

Availability
Summary
PKI provides digital certificate authentication, which is applied to IPsec tunnels between the
eNodeB and SeGW, and SSL channels between the eNodeB and OMC.
Benefits
This feature improves network security.
Description
PKI is a framework to manage digital certificates, which are used to provide authentication
between two NEs.
Digital certificate management involves creating, storing, distributing, and revoking
certificates, and distributing the certificate revocation list (CRL).
In general, a PKI system includes the Certificate Authority (CA), Certificate Repository (CR),
CRL server, and users to be authenticated. The eNodeB and SeGW are users of the PKI
system. The eNodeB interacts with the CA, CR and CRL server with assistance from the
M2000.
The eNodeB supports the certificate reserved prior to delivery. The certificate format
complies with X.509 V3. After the eNodeB is working properly, it supports certificate
replacement.
Figure 2.2.3.I.1.1.1 shows an illustration of the eRAN certificate application scenario.
Figure 2.2.3.I.1.1.1 eRAN certificate application scenario
In LTE TDD eRAN2.0, the eNodeB can update digital certificates automatically on the
M2000.
In LTE TDD eRAN2.1, this feature is enhanced to support automatic certificate distribution
using CMPv2. When CMPv2 is introduced to establish a direct tunnel from the eNodeB to the
CA, certificate enrollment and update can be automatically performed, and eNodeB certificate
issuing and update are more efficient if a large number of eNodeBs have been deployed.
The Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) is an Internet protocol used for X.509 digital
certificate creation and management in PKI.
An eNodeB can utilize CMP to obtain certificates from the CA. This procedure involves the
following CMP message:
2
initial registration/certification
2.
key pair update
3.
certificate update
The CMP message cross-certification request helps a CA to obtain a certificate signed by

another CA.
CMP messages are encapsulated in HTTP/HTTPs messages for transmission.

2.2.4 TDLOFD-003014 Integrated Firewall

TDLOFD-00301401 Access Control List (ACL)
Availability
Summary
ACL is comprised of a series of access control rules. eNodeBs perform packet filtering based
on the ACL.
Benefits
Helps protect eNodeBs from some attacks.
Helps eNodeBs identify specific types of packets, which must be encrypted and
authenticated by IPsec.
Description
The system operates based on the rules in ACL.
By using the ACL, an eNodeB performs packet filtering according to packet attributes such as
source IP addresses, destination IP addresses, source port numbers and destination port
numbers. Packet filtering can also be performed based on the type of service (TOS), DSCP,
and address wildcard.
By using the ACL, operators can select data flows that must be encrypted and authenticated
by IPsec, which is applied to guarantee data flow security.
In eRAN3.0, the layer-2 filter implements ACL. At layer 2, ACL rules will filter packages by
VLAN IDs. The eNodeB can identify the VLAN IDs of the packages, and only packages with
the correct VLAN ID will be allowed.
In eRAN3.0, eNodeBs support IPsec for IPv6 on the data flows selected based on the ACL.

2.2.5 TDLOFD-003015 Access Control based on

802.1x
Availability
Summary
eNodeBs support authentication on the transmission network using IEEE 802.1x (Port-Based
Network Access Control). Authentication is performed based on the device certificate.
Benefits
This feature provides digital certificate authentication between the eNodeB and LAN switch,
improving network security.
Description
IEEE 802.1x (Port-Based Network Access Control) uses the physical access characteristics of
IEEE 802 LAN infrastructures to provide a method of authenticating and authorizing devices
attached to a LAN port that has point-to-point connection characteristics. IEEE 802.1x also
prevents access to that port if the authentication and authorization process fails.
IEEE802.1x authentication and authorization use the framework of Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP), and are performed for the eNodeB, LAN switch, and AAA server (RADIUS
server).

2.3 Reliability
2.3.1 TDLOFD-001018 S1-flex
Availability
Summary
This feature is part of the MME pool solution, which must be supported by both the eNodeB
and the MME. It allows an eNodeB to connect to multiple MMEs simultaneously.
In LTE TDD eRAN2.0, Huawei eNodeBs support a maximum of 16 S1 interfaces. One S1
interface can be connected to one or more MMEs.
Benefits
Increased S1 interface flexibility.
Increases overall usage of the MME pool capacity.
Improves the performance of load sharing across MMEs in a pool.
Prevents unnecessary EPC signaling when the UE moves within the MME pool area.
The served MME of the UE does not change.
Description
Figure 2.3.1.I.1.1.1 illustrates the topology between MME pools and eNodeBs.
Figure 2.3.1.I.1.1.1 Topology between MME pools and eNodeBs
When an eNodeB connects to an MME pool, the eNodeB must determine which MME in the
pool will receive UE signaling:
If the UE sends the MME information in an RRC signaling message, the eNodeB will
select the MME based on this information.
If the UE does not send the MME information or the registered MME is not connected to
the eNodeB, the eNodeB will select an MME in one of the following ways:
Topology-based MME pool selection

The MME is selected based on the network topology to reduce the possibility of
MME switching during mobility.
Load-based MME selection

The MME is selected based on its capacity and load. The eNodeB can be informed of
MME capacity during S1 setup. When an MME is overloaded, the eNodeB will limit
new UE assignments to the MME according to overload action information, which
the MME sends to the eNodeB when overload starts.
Enhancement
In LTE TDD eRAN6.0, the priority-based MME selection method is added. When MMEs or
the S1 interfaces to MMEs are assigned different priorities, the MME with the highest priority
is preferentially selected. If multiple MMEs have the highest priority, the MME with the
lowest load among them is preferentially selected. An MME with a low priority is selected
only when all high-priority MMEs are faulty or overloaded.
Dependencies
The MME must support the MME pool function.

Summary
Ethernet OAM (IEEE 803.3ah) provides fault isolation and troubleshooting capabilities for
point-to-point (P2) Ethernet services.
Benefits
Ethernet OAM is available between two directly connected devices.
Description
Ethernet OAM is a protocol at the MAC layer. This protocol facilitates the operation,
administration, and maintenance (OAM) of Ethernet.
Ethernet OAM includes IEEE 802.3ah and 802.1ag.
802.3ah supports P2P OAM between two directly connected devices.
802.1ag provides the E2E OAM function.
The basic functions supported by IEEE 802.3ah are as follows:
Discovery: OAM session setup procedure. A device periodically sends OAM protocol
data units (PDUs) to check whether its peer device supports IEEE 802.3ah.
Remote failure indication: A device sends OAM PDUs to inform its peer device of faults
when detected. Faults may include a link fault, dying gasp, or critical event.
Link monitoring: A device supports link bit error rate (such as error frame and error
signal) monitoring. When the error rate exceeds a threshold, the device reports the event
to the peer device by sending OAM PDUs.
Remote loopback: A sends a loopback control PDU, instructing the peer device to loop
back. Loopback helps locate the fault and test link quality.

2.3.5 TDLOFD-003007 Bidirectional Forwarding

Detection
Availability
Summary
BFD (BFD) is a bidirectional-detecting mechanism used to detect faults on IP routes.
Benefits
Detects network faults.
Achieves reliability and high availability of Ethernet services and helps the service
provider to provide economical and efficient advanced Ethernet services.
Description
BFD is a method for IP connectivity failure detection that periodically transmits BFD packets
between two nodes. When no BFD packets are received during the detection interval, failure
is declared and related recovery actions will be triggered, such as IP routes, to prevent service
drops. BFD can quickly detect the failure, making it useful for telecom services on IP
networks.
eNodeBs support two BFD types:
One-hop BFD
There is only one router on the IP path between two NEs.
One-hop BFD is used to detect gateway availability when a router is used.
Multi-hop BFD
There is at least one router on the IP path between two NEs.
Multi-hop BFD is used to detect the connectivity between two NEs, for example,
between two eNodeBs, between the eNodeB and S-GW or MME, and between the
eNodeB and transport equipment.
Figure 2.3.5.I.1.1.1 illustrates one-hop and multi-hop BFD application scenarios.

Ethernet link aggregation is a protocol defined in IEEE 802.3ad.
IEEE 802.3ad defines the link aggregation control protocol (LACP) used to detect link status
in a link group.

3.1 SON Self-Configuration

3.1.1 TDLOFD-002001 Automatic Neighbour Relation
(ANR)
Availability
Summary
When this feature is enabled, the eNodeB uses algorithms to automatically plan and configure
neighbor relationships, resolving issues with incorrect neighbor relationship configuration.
Benefit
Manual configuration is not required, reducing workload and OPEX.
Missing or incorrect neighbor relationships can be identified or optimized, eliminating

handover failures caused by missing or incorrect neighbor relationship configuration.
Physical cell identifier (PCI) conflict detection can be triggered.
Description
ANR can automatically add and update neighbor relationships in the neighboring relation
table (NRT). However, the manual configuration of NRT attributes, including NO HO and NO
REMOVAL, have higher priority than the ANR algorithm. For example, if an operator sets up
NO REMOVAL, ANR will not remove this record from the NRT.
Figure 3.1.1.I.1.1.1 shows the ANR process.
Figure 3.1.1.I.1.1.1 ANR
The ANR process consists of the following steps:

3
The eNodeB instructs the UE for which the LTE frequency must be measured.
The UE sends a measurement report regarding cell B. This report contains the PCI of cell
B, but does not include its global cell identity (GCI).
2.
The eNodeB instructs the UE to use the newly discovered PCI as the parameter to read
the GCI of the related neighboring cell. The eNodeB may schedule appropriate gaps for
the UE to read the GCI of the neighboring cell because the UE must decode the
broadcasted GCI of the new cell.
3.
After the UE reads the GCI of the new cell, it reports the detected GCI to the serving
eNodeB.
The eNodeB determines that this neighbor relationship should be added and uses the PCI and
GCI to perform the following operations:
Searches a transport layer address to the new eNodeB.

OM or MME search mechanisms have already been standardized by the 3GPP.
Updates its NRT.
The eNodeB or serving cell finds a new neighboring cell by using one of the following
methods:
The PCI of the neighboring cell is reported to the eNodeB in the UE measurement report.
Then, the eNodeB instructs the UE to read the GCI of the new neighboring cell.
The GCI of the neighboring cell is sent to the eNodeB in the UE history information of
the HANDOVER REQUEST, and then the eNodeB requests the PCI of the new
neighboring cell.
After the eNodeB adds the new neighboring cell, the PCI conflict detection procedure can be
activated. For details on PCI conflict detection, see section 3.1.1"TDLOFD-002001
Automatic Neighbour Relation (ANR) ."
If required, an X2 link establishment can also be activated through the automatic transport
setup function in TDLOFD-002004 Self-configuration.
Periodic ANR is supported. Measurements are periodically performed to select and configure
UEs to report the strongest LTE cells. If a UE reports an unknown PCI, the eNodeB triggers
an ANR measurement to determine the corresponding GCI. Periodic ANR improves handover
performance.
In LTE TDD eRAN2.1, the ANR feature is enhanced with the following administration
function:
Log: records the key event during the SON process.
Operators can use log information to perform queries, collect statistics, and analyze the
feature running process and key event.
Enhancement
In LTE TDD eRAN6.1, the eNodeB supports automatic setting of the NO HO attribute.
ANR can automatically identify the neighboring cells with a low handover success rate, and
set NoHoFlag to FORBID_HO_ENUM(Forbid Ho) to prohibit handovers to them. This
function reduces handover failures and increases the handover success rate. As a result, ANR
focuses on incorrect neighbor relationship configuration.

3.1.2 TDLOFD-002007 PCI Collision Detection & SelfOptimization

Availability
Summary
This feature detects PCI collision by using ANR.
Benefits
eNodeB can automatically detect PCI collision.
Description
The PCI is an essential configuration parameter of an E-UTRAN cell. It corresponds to a
unique combination of one orthogonal sequence and one pseudo-random sequence. In an LTE
system, there are only 504 physical cell IDs that can be repeated for a large scale eNodeB
deployment. The two cells that share a PCI cannot be geographically close. Otherwise, they
will interfere with each other.
When a new eNodeB is deployed, a PCI, used to transmit data over the cell, must be selected
for each of its supported cells to prevent collision with neighboring cells that cause
interference and service deterioration. The PCI assignment must meet the following
conditions:
Collision-free: The PCI is unique in a certain geographical area.
Confusion-free: The PCI of a cell cannot be the same as that of any neighboring cell.
Whenever an eNodeB adds a new neighbor relationship, the PCI collision detection procedure
is triggered to check for possible PCI collision within the neighboring cells.
In LTE TDD eRAN2.1, PCI collision detection is enhanced with self-optimization
implemented in the EMS to resolve any detected collisions. To allocate the optimal candidate
PCIs for all cells and minimize the interference among neighboring cells, PCIs are assigned
based on the site engineering information (longitude, latitude, azimuth), GCI, and neighboring
cell list.
For micro eNodeBs, if the preceding information cannot be provided, the algorithms can also
allocate the optimal candidate PCI for the micro cell based on the PCIs of its neighboring
cells. The neighboring cell information can be obtained by ANR. The newly assigned PCI has
three possible delivery methods:
Immediate and automatic delivery: The EMS will deliver the new PCI to the eNodeB as
soon as it is generated.
Regular and automatic delivery: The EMS will deliver the new PCI on a cycle time
basis.
Manually confirmed delivery: The EMS will generate a notice for confirmation before
delivering the new PCI to the eNodeB
The PCI collision detection and self-optimization feature is enhanced with the following
administration functions:
Configuration:
Policy setting: operators can configure some policies for the feature, such as the
optimization analysis mode.
Break point: operators can configure break points to increase feature control
capability. The algorithm can be stopped at the break points and operator
confirmation is needed for process continuity.
Log
Records the key event during the SON process. Operators can use log information to
perform queries, collect statistics, and analyze the feature running process and key event.

3.2.1 TDLOFD-001032 Intra-LTE Load Balancing
Availability
Summary
This feature balances load between the serving cell and the inter-frequency neighboring cells.
Benefits
Utilizes the network resource efficiently.
Improves system capacity.
Reduces the possibility of system overload.
Improves the access success rate.
Description
In a commercial LTE network, some serving cells have high load but the load of neighboring
cells is low because of service differentiation. To resolve this problem, the eNodeB uses the
load balancing algorithm.
The serving cell measures the cell load and receives the neighboring cell load at the same
time. The serving cell evaluates the load and determines whether to perform a handover to a
neighboring cell.
If the serving cell load is very high and exceeds a specific threshold but the neighboring cell
load is low, some UEs are handed over to neighboring cells in advance.
The cell load is defined as the PRB utilization rate. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.314.
There is only one type of inter-frequency load balancing: active load balancing. The active
load balancing procedure includes the following steps: load measurement and evaluation, load
information exchanges, and load balance decision.
In an LTE system, load balancing applies when coverage is overlapped by multiple interfrequency LTE cells.
Enhancement
In LTE TDD eRAN6.0, eNodeBs dynamically balance load between sectors based on the load
difference between these sectors. The load difference can be configured.
Dependencies
None.
3.2.2 TDLOFD-001123 Enhanced Intra-LTE Load

Balancing
Availability
Summary
It can resolve the unbalance between the service cell and the inter-frequency neighbor cells in
the same eNodeB.
Benefits
It can utilize the network resource fully and improve the UE throughput by balancing the load
between the neighbor cells.
Description
In some situation of commercial LTE network, UEs in some serving cells have poor
throughput but other UEs in neighbor cells have high throughput because of the
differentiation of UE Number in cell. Under this condition, it can trigger enhanced load
balancing algorithm.
The serving cell measures the cell Ue Number and receives the neighboring cell's Ue number
at the same time. The serving cell evaluates the Ue number difference and decides whether to
perform a handover to neighboring cell. If the serving cell Ue number is higher than the
neighboring cell's Ue number, some UEs begin to be handed over to neighboring cell in
advance.
Selecting proper UE to handover, the overlap range difference of serving cell and neighboring
cell is considering, it is prior to selecting central UE to handover to small range neighbor cell,
and it is prior to selecting marginal UE to handover to big range neighbor cell.
The load balancing procedure includes the following steps: load measurement and evaluation,
load information exchanges, load balance decision, exection of measurement and handover.
Enhanced Intra-LTE load balancing is used in the scenario of coverage overlapped between
multiple multiple inter-frequency LTE cells.
Enhancement
None.
Dependencies
The serving cell and inter-frequency cell must deployed in the same eNodeB for enhanced
load balancing.
3.2.3 TDLOFD-002005 Mobility Robust Optimization

(MRO)
Availability
Summary
MRO optimizes typical mobility control parameter settings to prevent ping-pong handovers,
premature handovers, and delayed handovers.
Benefits
This feature simplifies network maintenance and reduces labor cost in typical and common
mobility optimization scenarios.
Description
During MRO, the cell individual offset (CIO) mainly needs to be adjusted.
The CIO explicitly declares the handover threshold between signal quality measurement
results from the source and target cells. Therefore, adjusting the CIO will significantly speed
up or delay handovers.
Both premature and delayed handovers are captured at the source eNodeB because the source
eNodeB is informed of delayed handovers that have been prepared by the UE context release
mechanism. Only outgoing handover failures are captured. There is no need to capture
incoming handovers.
During handover preparation, the source eNodeB sends UE history information to the target
eNodeB, which helps to reduce ping-pong handovers. When the UE History Information is
received, the target eNodeB identifies the ping-pong handover if the GCI of the second
newest cell is equal to that of the target cell and the duration that the UE camps in the source
cell is shorter than a ping-pong time threshold. To prevent ping-pong handover, decrease the
CIO value.
Huawei LTE TDD eNodeBs support intra-frequency Mobility Robust Optimization.
The following administration functions are also supported:
Switch: Provided to enable or disable the MRO feature.
Log: records the key event during the SON process. Operators can use log information to
perform queries, collect statistics, and analyze the feature running process and key event.
Enhancement
In LTE TDD eRAN6.0, UE-level MRO against ping-pong handovers is introduced. The
eNodeB identifies ping-pong UEs and sends corresponding UE-level MRO parameters to
these UEs. This type of MRO reduces the number of ping-pong handovers, reduces UE
resource usage, and improves UE quality of experience (QoE).
The UE-level MRO algorithm is independent of the cell-level MRO algorithm. They are
controlled by different switches.

3.3.2 TDLOFD-002012 Cell Outage Detection and

Compensation
Availability
Summary
This feature allows eNodeB to automatically detect cell outage and adjust mobility-related
RRM parameters to compensate outage cells.
Benefits
This feature shortens the duration required to detect cell outages and maintains user services
in the outage cell to the extent possible.
Description
Cell outage is a critical situation, especially when there is only one frequency or RAT. It leads
to service failure or significant KPI degradation. If there are alternative frequencies/RATs,
hand over UEs from the outage cell to the inter-frequency or inter-RAT cell instead of
compensating the coverage of surrounding cells.
This feature consists of cell outage detection, RRM compensation, and cell outage recovery.
Cell outage detection

Monitors both pre-defined alarms and cell KPIs in real time. According to the predefined alarms, the system detects whether the cell is out of service. KPI monitoring
helps detect abnormal outage cases that will not trigger alarms through cell KPI
degradation, including sleeping cells. Note that the KPI threshold is configurable by
operators.
RRM compensation
Adjusts the mobility-related RRM parameters to allow UE handovers to the surrounding
cells for service continuity. In addition, the outage cell is added into the blacklist to
prevent handover or reselection from neighboring cells. The priority for handover
triggering is defined in the mobility features to maintain service continuity.
Cell outage recovery

After cell outage is detected, the system recovers the cell. After outage recovery, the
system reverses the compensation.
Enhancement
To accelerate the cell outage detection process, LTE TDD eRAN6.0 introduces the assisted
cell outage detection method. This method is independent of KPI measurement and detects
cell outage by checking internal eNodeB counters at 5 minute intervals. When the counter
values exceed the specified thresholds, the eNodeB reports the check results to the M2000.
The M2000 then determines that a cell outage has occurred.
Dependencies
This feature requires the OSS feature WOFD-171000 Cell Outage Detection and Recovery
LTE.
If an operator has deployed a GSM and UMTS network, RRM compensation can be improved
by using these two optional features:
TDLOFD-001019 PS Inter-RAT Mobility between E-UTRAN and UTRAN
TDLOFD-001020 PS Inter-RAT Mobility between E-UTRAN and GERAN.
3.4 Power Saving

3.4.1 TDLOFD-001039 RF Channel Intelligent
Shutdown
Availability
Summary
In MIMO mode, the carrier for a cell is transferred through different transmission channels.
When no data is transmitted in the cell, the carrier can be switched off on part of the
transmission channels. In this way, the power consumption of the eNodeB without data
transmission is decreased. When data is to be transmitted in the cell, the carrier can be
switched on automatically to have the cell work normally again.
Benefits
This feature reduces eNodeB power consumption.
Description
In the LTE system, an eNodeB is usually configured with two or four antennas. The traffic in
the cell varies by time and operators can customize periods accordingly. In certain periods, for
example, from midnight to the early morning hours, no data is transmitted. When the eNodeB
detects an idle state, it switches off the carrier on one transmission channel (if there are two
transmission channels) or on two transmission channels (if there are four transmission
channels) to decrease power consumption. When a UE accesses the cell or the period ends,
the eNodeB can automatically switch on the carrier that has been switched off. The cell then
recovers and continues with services.

3.4.2 TDLOFD-001040 Low Power Consumption Mode

Availability
Summary
In some scenarios, such as a power outage, an eNodeB can be instructed to work in low power
consumption mode. This mode can help prolong the in-service time of an eNodeB powered by
battery.
Benefits
When an eNodeB is derated, its power consumption is reduced and its in-service time
powered by battery is prolonged. Therefore, the possibility of the eNodeB being out of service
is reduced even during periods of extended power outages.
Description
Low power consumption mode is implemented in four levels. If the power supply has not
recovered to its normal state and the power consumption of a level reaches the time threshold
preset by the operator, the eNodeB enters the low power consumption mode of the next level
until the cell is out of service.
Low power consumption mode of the eNodeB is triggered by one of the following conditions:
Power system alarms

If the power insufficiency or power failure lasts for the period preset by the operator, an
alarm is reported to trigger low power consumption mode of the eNodeB.
Command delivered by the EMS

The operator can deliver a command through the EMS to instruct the eNodeB to enter or
exit low power consumption mode.
Enhancement
None
Dependencies
This feature requires the OSS feature WOFD-200200 Base Station Power-Saving
Management -LTE.
3.4.3 TDLOFD-001041 Power Consumption

Monitoring
Availability
Summary
eNodeBs report the power consumption status to the EMS. On the EMS, operators can
monitor the change in eNodeB power consumption and generate a power consumption report.
Benefits
This feature allows operators to determine the exact benefits brought by the decrease in power
consumption.
Description
The eNodeB periodically checks the power of each monitoring point and reports the power
consumption within a period. The EMS receives and collects all power consumption data. On
the EMS, the operator can monitor the change in power consumption and analyze power
consumption according to a statistics report generated by the EMS.
Enhancement
None
Dependencies
This feature requires the OSS feature WOFD-200200 Base Station Power-Saving

3.4.4 TDLOFD-001042 Intelligent Power-Off of

Carriers in the Same Coverage
Availability
Summary
When traffic is light in an area covered by multiple carriers, some of the carriers can be
blocked, and all services can be automatically taken over by the carriers that remain in
service. When the traffic increases to a certain degree, the carriers that have been blocked can
be automatically unblocked to again provide services.
Benefits
This feature helps reduce eNodeB power consumption without any impact on service quality.
Description
When multiple carriers provide coverage for the same area, the traffic in the area varies by
time and operators can customize periods accordingly. In certain periods, for example, from
midnight to the early morning hours, the traffic is light. When the eNodeB detects light traffic,
it shifts UEs to some of the carriers and then blocks the carriers without any load. In this way,
the power consumption is reduced. When the traffic increases or the preset period ends, the
eNodeB can automatically switch on the carriers that have been blocked to recover
functionality. In this way, the system capacity is increased without any impact on the service
quality.
Enhancement
In eRAN3.1, RRU can adjust the power amplifier voltage according to the remaining carriers
after the carrier shutdown. If two carriers are configured and a carrier is shut down, the RRU
reduces the voltage of the power amplifier according to the remaining carrier to reduce power
consumption.
Dependencies
This feature requires either of the following features:
TDLBFD-00201802 Coverage Based Inter-frequency Handover
OSS feature WOFD-200200 Base Station Power-Saving Management -LTE
3.4.5 TDLOFD-001056 PSU Intelligent Sleep Mode

Availability
Summary
With this feature, certain power supply units (PSUs) can be powered on or off according to
the power consumption of the eNodeB to reduce the power consumption. For example, three
PSUs are configured for a light-traffic eNodeB. After this feature is enabled, the eNodeB
power consumption can decrease by 4% to 5%.
Benefits
When traffic is light, the eNodeB can power off certain PSUs to reduce power consumption.
Description
When an eNodeB with AC input is configured with Huawei PSUs (that are used to convert
AC power into DC power) and Huawei PMU, this feature can be enabled. The number of
configured PSUs depends on the maximum power consumption of the eNodeB and ensures
that the eNodeB operates properly even at the maximum load. In most cases, the eNodeB does
not operate with a full load, and therefore the PSUs do not operate with full power. Generally,
the PSU conversion efficiency is proportional to its output power. Therefore, the decrease in
the conversion efficiency increases the overall power consumption of the eNodeB.
When the eNodeB is powered by multiple PSUs, the PSU intelligent shutdown function
allows the eNodeB to shut down one or several PSUs according to the actual load and power
supply demand. In this way, the remaining PSUs work in full load mode, ensuring efficiency.
Enhancement
None
Dependencies
eNodeBs with AC input must be configured with Huawei PSUs and Huawei PMU.
3.4.6 TDLOFD-001070 Symbol Power Saving

Availability
This feature was introduced in LTE TDD eRAN3.0
Summary
This feature allows eNodeBs to shut down the PAs in the time of empty symbols. Multimedia
broadcast multicast service single frequency network (MBSFN) subframes can be used to
reduce the reference signal further, and therefore more empty symbols are available for PAs to
shut down.
Benefits
This feature reduces the static power consumption of PAs, and therefore reduces eNodeB
power consumption.
Description
PAs consume the most power in eNodeBs. A PA consumes static power even if no signal is
transmitted. If the PA supports fast power-on and power-off, the eNodeB can use symbol
power saving.
The eNodeB can shut down the PAs in the time of empty symbols to save the static power
consumption of the PA. To guarantee data integrity, the system must control the time when the
PA is switched on and off.
For example, when there are no active users in the cell and only RSs must be transmitted in
some subframes, the PA can be shut down in the OFDM symbols without RSs.
If the cell is not configured with the Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS), the
eNodeB must add some of the empty subframes to MBSFN subframes for further power
saving. When one subframe is configured as an MBSFN subframe, only the first RS must be
transmitted over the air interface. No data is transmitted in the remaining symbols so that the
PA can be shut down for those symbols to reduce power consumption.
Figure 3.4.6.I.1.1.1 Symbol power saving
Enhancement
None
Dependencies
This feature only applies to macro eNodeBs.
MBSFN subframe configuration requires that UEs can identify and apply the MBSFN
subframe configuration related to the serving and neighbor cells.
This feature is only supported by the RRU3232 and RRU3235.
3.4.7 TDLOFD-001071 Intelligent Battery

Management
Availability
Summary
With this feature, the battery management mode automatically changes depending on the
selected grid type, which prolongs the battery lifespan.
The battery self-protection function is triggered under high temperature to prevent battery
overuse and subsequent damage.
The battery runtime is displayed after the mains supply is cut off. By considering the runtime,
operators can take proactive measures to prevent service interruption due to power supply
cutoff.
Benefits
Prolongs battery lifespan
Reduces energy consumption
Reduces OPEX
Improves system stability
Automatic change of the battery management mode:
Description
The PMU board records the number of times power supply is cut off and the duration of
each cutoff. Then, the PMU board determines which grid type is selected and
correspondingly activates a specific power management mode. In grid types 1 and 2,
batteries can enter a hibernation state in which batteries do not charge or discharge,
which helps prolong battery lifespan.

This function is under license control. In addition, this function is disabled by default and
can be enabled by running an MML command.
Self-protection under high temperature:

When batteries work at a temperature exceeding the threshold for entering the floating
charge state for 5 minutes, they enter this state and no alarms are generated.
When batteries work at a temperature exceeding the threshold for the self-protection
function for 5 minutes, they are automatically powered off or the battery voltage is
automatically adjusted.
Battery runtime display:

After the mains supply is cut off, the eNodeB calculates the runtime of batteries based on
the remaining power capacity, discharge current, and other data. This runtime can be
queried by running an MML command.
The following formula is used to calculate the runtime of batteries:
Runtime of batteries = (Remaining power capacity x Total power capacity x Discharge

efficiency)/(Mean discharge current x Aging coefficient)
Enhancement

Dependencies
This feature only applies to the power module PMU02B.
3.5 Antenna Management

3.5.1 TDLOFD-001024 Remote Electrical Tilt Control
Availability
Summary
This feature improves OM efficiency and minimizes the OM cost for adjusting the downtilt of
the remote electrical tilt (RET) antenna. Huawei LTE RET solution complies with AISG2.0
specifications and is backward compatible with AISG1.1 specifications.
Benefits
RET antennas at multiple sites can be adjusted remotely within a short period. This
improves efficiency and reduces the cost of network optimization.
RET antennas can be adjusted in all weather conditions.
RET antennas can be deployed at sites with difficult access.
RET downtilt adjustment keeps the coverage pattern undistorted, strengthening the
antenna signal and reducing neighboring cell interference.
Description
The RET is an antenna system whose downtilt is controlled electrically and remotely.
After an antenna is installed, the downtilt of the antenna must be adjusted to optimize the
network. In this situation, the signal phases that reach the array antenna elements can be
adjusted under the electrical control. The vertical pattern of the antenna can then be changed.
The phase shifter inside the antenna can be adjusted by using the step motor outside the
antenna. The downtilt of the RET antenna can be adjusted when the system is powered on,
and the downtilt can be monitored in real time. Therefore, the remote precise adjustment of
the downtilt of the antenna can be achieved.
Enhancement
None
Dependencies
This feature is unavailable when an RRU3232, RRU3252, or RRU3256 is split into two 2T2R
RRUs.
