LTE SYSTEM INFORMATION feature Prepared By:Adel Belguidoum Mohammed Chebbo 2 Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / Author / Date For internal use Contents Introduction Feature activation tests Feature Deactivation tests Conclusion
3 Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / Author / Date For internal use Introdution This feature enables cell reselection from GSM cells to LTE cells in a mixed GSM/LTE radio access network. To use this feature, the following information is required about the adjacent LTE cells: the frequencies and the bandwidth the cell indices, the country code, the tracking area code, and the network code
To administer this information Adjacent LTE cell (ADJL) object class is introduced to the system. This information is sent via the SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 2quater (SI2q) message on BCCH to the MS. Up to eight adjacent LTE cells may be configured per GSM cell. 4 Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / Author / Date For internal use Feature activation tests 2G system information type2quater contains the LTE adjacent cells parameters A cell Reselection to EUTRAN is performed from ALFA4 (2G)to LTE cell ALFA-L10063 To enable 2G to LTE cell reselection we should respect the following steps: Activate the feature on the BSC level Create 2G-4G neighbors with mandatory parameters (MCC,MNC,TAC,INDEX,EUFREQ) Based on the Layer 3 messages form DT We can confirm now the successful working of the feature LTE SYSTEM INFORMATION
5 Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / Author / Date For internal use Feature Deactivation tests 2G system information type2quater doesnt contain the LTE adjacent cells parameters A cell Reselection to UTRAN is performed from ALFA4 (2G)to ALFA3 (3G) We Deactivate the Feature in order to check the interworking between the 3G and 4G Layers we notice the following: LTE parameters are not braodcasted in the System information type2quater message Cell reselection from 2G to 3G The Ue camp on The 3G layer and cannot perform a cell reselection to LTE
6 Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / Author / Date For internal use Conclusion In order to avoid complaints and to ensure the interworking Between different technologies in ALFA network we should enable the following features: LTE SYSTEM INFORMATION (System information type 2quater) (BSS RG 20) WCDMA broadcasts LTE information (System information block 19) (W11B)
