power options of min 8/10/15/20/30/40W/60W or 80W (depending on the RFmodule) are available.
For more specific information related to supported configurations, see CablingFlexi WCDMA BTS and Creating Configurations, Commissioning Flexi WCDMABTS, and Flexi Multiradio BTS WCDMA Supported and Planned Configurationsdocuments.
System Module Rel.3 (the so called Flexi Multiradio 10 BTS System Module) isnew software, defined BTS for four different technologies (GSM/WCDMA/LTEand LTE-Advanced). Capacity of System Module Rel.3 (FSMF) can be extendedwith optional capacity extension submodules (FBBA). Up to two capacitiesextension submodules can be used with single System Modules Rel.3. FSMFSystem Module and FBBA extension submodules are seen as one common poolof baseband capacity. For more specific information about System ModuleRel.3, see RAN2262: Flexi Multiradio System Modules feature description.
Figure 2 FSMF System Module structure shows the Flexi Rel.3 MultiradioSystem Module FSMF. It has 5.5 subunits.

Table 2 System Module Rel.3 LCG configuration type details
With small HSPA and normal HSPA configuration, HSDPA scheduler resources(HSDPA subunits) provide certain amount of CCCH baseband processingresources (so called CCCH pools) that can be used as additional CCCHprocessing resources. For more information, see Chapter 2.2.1.
The amount of LCG subunits for pure traffic can be calculated by subtractingfrom LCG baseband capacity:
CCCH processing subunits (if needed to be licensed from SM Rel.3capacity)
HSDPA scheduler processing subunits
Interference Cancellation units (PIC pools) subunits
HSUPA static allocation processing subunits
Figure 4 FSMF System Module, 1 LCG scenario with 12 HSPA (non-MIMO)cells and 1 interference cancellation (PIC pool) unit shows how the subunitsfor pure traffic capacity can be used for R99 (DCH) users, HSDPA users (A-DCH/SRB), and HSUPA users (HSUPA scheduler).

Note that CCCH processing for 6cells/10km/2-way Rx Div are covered byresources included in SM Rel.3 capacity. The remaining 6 cells/10km/2-way RxDiv are processed with resources included in HSDPA scheduler subunitscapacity (1xCCCH Processing Set licenses needed).
Therefore, the LCG pure traffic capacity is 2.875 subunits .

According to scenario assumptions during BTS commissioning, 8.5 subunitswere dedicated to LCG1.
LCG_pure_traffic_subunits=LCG_dedicated_subunits– Additional_CCCH_subunits–PIC_pool_subunits–HSDPA_subunits
= 8.5–0–2–1.125

Therefore, the LCG1 pure traffic capacity is 5.375 subunits.

LCG 2 requires one CCCH pool (0.5 subunit) for CCCH processing (1xCCCHProcessing Set license required). Note that any additional CCCH processing (forexample, in extended cell range case) can be done with baseband resourcesincluded in HSDPA scheduler subunits capacity (CCCH Processing Set licenserequired)
According to scenario assumptions during BTS commissioning, 3 subunits werededicated to LCG 2.
LCG_pure_traffic_subunits=LCG_dedicated_subunits–CCCH_subunits–PIC_pool_subunits–HSDPA_subunits
= 3–0.5–0–0.625
= 1.875
Therefore, the LCG2 pure traffic capacity is 1.875.

2.2. Common Control Channels
The following DL Common Control Channels are supported in each cell in BTS:
1xP-SCH (Primary–Synchronization Channel)
1xS-SCH (Secondary–Synchronization Channel) 1xP-CCPCH (Primary–Common Control Physical Channel)
1xP-CPICH (Primary–Common Pilot Channel)
1xPICH (Paging Indicator Channel)
1xAICH (Acquisition Indicator Channel)
3xS-SCCPCH (Secondary Common Control Physical Channel)
In the UL, the resources for processing the PRACH channel per each cell arerequired.
The cells with ranges bigger than 20km are called extended cells. Requiredbaseband resources for Common Control Channels for extended cells aredescribed separately in Chapter 5.
Baseband resources allocated for CCCH are LCG specific. It means that everyLCG needs to have own CCCH processing resources for all cells dedicated toLCG according to cell radius, Rx Div type and number of cells dedicated to LCG.
CCCH baseband processing resources are statically allocated in steps, so calledCCCH pools. Each CCCH pool (except CCCH pool included in System Modulecapacity) requires CCCH license - CCCH Processing Set license – for activation.
2.2.1 CCCH requirements for Multi radio 10 BTS systemmodules
Similar to Rel.2 HW, System Module Rel.3 (FSMF) provides one CCCH poolincluded in FSMF Core Module capacity which does not require any license.
Figure 5 CCCH pool included in System Module Rel.3 (FSMF) capacity
Below you can find a list of typical configurations covered by single CCCH poolincluded in System Modules Rel.3 capacity.
1 * System Module: 3 cells/20 km (for example 1+1+1 with 20 km cells);
1 * System Module: 6 cells/10 km (for example 2+2+2 with 10 km cells);
Listed above configuration assumes 2-way Rx Div enabled. If 4-way Rx Divfeature is enabled then number of cells or cell range is halved.

In case when more cells or higher cell radius is needed additional basebandresources (CCCH pools) and CCCH Processing Set licenses need to beallocated for CCCH processing. One System Module Rel.3 CCCH poolcorresponds to 0.5 subunit.
Number of cells that can be served with single CCCH pool from System ModuleRel.3 can be determined with the formula below:
cellsof
i
_ _ #
1
ii 480Rx)*Signaturesof #*Range(Cell
where:
i – number of cells (from one to six);
Cell range – user cell radius referred to in kilometers (rounded up to thewhole kilometer that is divisible by five);
# of Signatures - means maximum number of Preamble signatures 1=<z =< 4.
where:
2-way Rx div:
0km< r <=60km # of signatures = 4;
60km< r <=120km # of signatures = 2;
120km<r<180km # of signatures = 1.
4-way Rx div:
0km< r <=30km # of signatures = 4;
30km< r <=60km # of signatures = 2;
60km<r<120km # of signatures = 1.
Rx – {2 ; 4} if 4 way Rx diversity Rx= 4, otherwise Rx =2
For example:
1) FSMF, 1 LCG - R99 only configuration, 12 cells/10km cell range, 2way Rx Div.
- 2 CCCH pools needed to cover 12 cells/10km:- 0 x CCCH Processing Set (CCCH pool included in System
Module capacity) required for 6 cells/10km- 1 x CCCH Processing Set required for 6 cells/10km
2) FSMF + FBBA, 1 LCG - R99 only configuration, 12 cells/20km cellrange, 2 way Rx Div.
- 0 x CCCH Processing Set (CCCH pool included in System Modulecapacity) required for 6 cells- 1 x CCCH Processing Set required for 6 cells

NOTE:
With System Module Rel.3 single cell cannot be split between two
CCCH pools.
The HSDPA scheduler(s) resources (HSDPA subunits) provide certain amountof baseband resources (CCCH pools) that can be used for additional CCCHprocessing. It means that each LCG requires at least one CCCH pool (0.5subunit) for CCCH processing unless CCCH processing is performed withresources included in SM Rel.3 baseband capacity. CCCH processing forremaining cells can be performed with baseband resources included in HSDPAscheduler capacity (HSDPA subunits). To use these resources for CCCHprocessing CCCH Processing Set licenses are required.
Below you can find a list of exemplary configurations and CCCH Processing Setlicenses / CCCH subunits requirements for different LCG configuration types.

2.2.2 Capacity licenses
The Flexi WCDMA BTS licensed capacity defines the capacity that the operatorhas purchased. The licensed capacity can be less than the maximum hardware
capacity.
Flexi WCDMA BTS Baseband capacities are allocated according to the capacitylicense file. Because the sites exist in high volumes in the network, NokiaSiemens Networks does not generate licenses for these network elementsdirectly (NE licenses), but so-called pool licenses are used. This means that theuser gets the license to use a dedicated amount of features or capacity (poollicense) and it is up to the user to determine how these NE licenses aredistributed towards the network elements.
As an example, the operator buys a pool license for 10 000 Rel99 CE for BTSs.The operator gets a pool license file that allows use of this capacity. With thispool license and the help of the license management tools in NetAct, one candistribute the capacity according to the capacity needs. For example: 120 Rel99

CE for BTS-1, 70 Rel99 CE for BTS-2, and so on. For this purpose, NetActgenerates the appropriate license files and downloads them to the networkelements.
There are four types of capacity licenses (System Module Rel.3):
CCCH Processing Set license- Applicable only for CCCH processing (might be required for high
cell configurations or extended cell range case)
Rel99 CE license- Applicable for Rel99 traffic
HSDPA BTS Processing Set license- Applicable for HSDPA throughput and HSDPA users
HSUPA BTS Processing Set license- Applicable for HSUPA throughput and HSDPA users
The HSDPA BTS processing set describes the maximum HSDPA capability thatallows reaching a certain number of HSDPA users and DL throughput.
Note that the HSDPA BTS processing set does not directly increase the capacityfor maximum user amount and throughput. Separate ASW (applicationsoftware) licenses for peak throughput and user amount are required.
HSDPA BTS processing set capacities are as stated below:
HSDPA BTS processing set 1: 32 users and 7.2Mbps;
HSDPA BTS processing set 2: 72 users and 21Mbps;
HSDPA BTS processing set 3: 72 users and 84Mbps.
Multi RAB UE having more than one HSDPA RAB is counted as one user fromHSDPA Processing Set license point of view. For example 32 Multi RAB UEs,each having two HSDPA RABs, consume one HSDPA Processing Set 1 licensecapacity.
The HSUPA BTS processing set is an HSUPA capacity reservation insideSystem Module Rel.3 that allows allocation of a certain number of HSUPA usersand UL throughput. The HSUPA scheduler throughput allowed with one HSUPABTS processing set is equal to 5.8Mbps, while the number of users is up to 24.Multi RAB UE having more than one HSUPA RAB is counted as one user fromHSUPA Processing Set license point of view. For example 24 Multi RAB UEs,
each having two HSUPA RABs, consumes one HSUPA Processing Set license.In RU30, HSUPA BTS processing set allows to reach up to 5.8Mbps per HSUPAscheduler, with the minimum number of users or twenty four HSUPA users withthe minimum throughput. The baseband reservation provided by one HSUPABTS processing set is equal to 0,75 subunit maximally, as specified in the tablebelow. HSUPA resource reservation is dynamic and depends on actual totalHSUPA throughput and actual total number of HSUPA users in HSUPAscheduler.

For commissioning purposes, all licenses (including Rel99 CE licenses) areactivated for a 14-day period.
For more specific information, see Licenses Management in WCDMA RAN.
NOTE:
License files available at BTS are limited with commissioned licenses.For example if 1000 R99CE license file is available at BTS, whilecommissioned number Of R99Channel El ement s is set to 900, then
BTS shall only use 900 R99 CE licenses.
2.2.3 Local Cell Grouping for Flexi BTS
Local Cell Grouping might be needed if BTS sites with many cells, and can beused in Multi Operator RAN (MORAN) cases to divide baseband capacity toLocal Cell Groups (LCGs). It is possible to use MORAN without Local CellGrouping and dedicated baseband allocation.
A single LCG covers up to twelve cells. However, when 4-way Rx diversity isused, up to six 4-way RX diversity cells can be dedicated to one LCG.

With Local Cell Grouping it is also possible to allocate baseband capacity forLCGs if the same site is divided between several operators (MORAN) who wantto reserve some dedicated BB capacity for own use.
NOTE:
Small HSPA configuration (System Module Rel.3) supports up to 6 cellsin single LCG. If more cells in one LCG need to be supported, NormalHSPA configuration (up to 12 HSPA + R99 cells) or R99 Onlyconfiguration (up to 12 R99 cells) should be configured.
The operator has a possibility to define Local Cell Groups in one of the twodifferent ways:
Frequency layer based;
Sector based.
Each LCG covers a certain baseband capacity, which is used to serve CCCHand traffic from dedicated cells.
Sector based commissioning
Sector based commissioning allows the following:
Dedication of cells from the same frequency layer(s) to different LCGs ;
Dedication of cells from the same frequency layer(s) to the same LCG.In this case sector based commissioning might give the same results, asfrequency-layer based commissioning.

Asymmetric UL/DL allocation means that the UL and DL directions have differentbit rate requirements. The rule for allocating Submodule resources forasymmetric bit rates is based on a higher data rate requirement, but Rel99 CEreservations are done separately for UL/DL. For example, if the UL bearer is 64kbps and the DL bearer 384 kbps, the CE reservation is 4 CE in UL and 8CE inDL.

3.1 Flexi System Module Rel.3 HSDPAscheduler
There is one type of HSDPA scheduler available with System Module Rel.3.
The HSDPA scheduler based on System Module Rel.3 supports 64QAM, MIMO,and DC-HSDPA features and supports up to six cells.
The number of HSDPA schedulers is defined per LCG via LCG configurationtype commissioning parameter. With Small HSDPA configuration one HSDPAscheduler is available while Normal HSPA configuration supports 2 HSDPAschedulers.

Table 9 LCG configuration t ypes for System Module Rel.3
HSDPA scheduler based on System Module Rel.3 is LCG specific – it supportsonly cells dedicated to LCG. In comparison to System Module Rel.2, it does notrequire any additional baseband resources to reach high HSDPA throughput. Inother words, it provides HSDPA throughput up to 252Mbps withoutcommissioning any additional baseband resources for scheduler purpose.
The scheduler provides HSDPA throughput, which depends on activatedfeatures, number and type of BTS processing sets, and HSDPA throughputcommissioning by the operator.
The operator can specify the maximum throughput per each HSDPA scheduler.The maximum throughput for the scheduler is commissioned in steps calledHSDPA throughput steps (HSDPA Throughput Step). For each scheduler,

the operator can select HSDPA throughput step values from 1 up to 35. TheHSDPA throughput step has no impact on HSDPA baseband capacity allocationbut it is used for HSDPA licensed throughput distribution among availableschedulers (for more information, see chapter 3.3). In addition it can be used tolimit HSDPA scheduler throughput. Each HSDPA throughput step correspondsto 7.2Mbps
For example:
Normal HSPA configuration (2 HSDPA schedulers)
Commissioned HSDPA throughput step to scheduler #1 is equal to 2;Commissioned HSDPA throughput step to scheduler #2 is equal to 6;
HSDPA_scheduler #1_throughput = 2 * 7.2Mbps = 14.4Mbps;
HSDPA_scheduler #2_throughput = 6 * 7.2Mbps = 43.2Mbps.

3.2 Tcell grouping with System Module Rel.3
Tcell grouping is used to group cells to the scheduler based on System ModuleRel.3. Tcell groups 1 and 3 are handled by the first scheduler and Tcell groups 2and 4 are handled by the second scheduler.
One scheduler can handle up to two Tcell groups. If there is only one Tcellgroup used, scheduler can support six cells. If there are two Tcell groups andone scheduler, up to three cells per Tcell group can be supported (up to six cellsare supported totally).
The same Tcell values can be used by different cells if those are allocated todifferent frequency layers. With Dual Cell (DC) HSDPA feature cells from onesector should have the same Tcell value. Note that DC cells from the samesector need to be served by one scheduler, and belong to the same LCG. Notethat both DC cells from the dual cell sector need to be allocated on adjacentfrequencies in one band.
The principles of grouping (maximum four Tcell groups per LCG are possible)are as follows:

HSDPA schedulers based on System Module Rel.3 require HSDPA license socalled HSDPA BTS processing set. To learn more about HSDPA BTSprocessing sets, see chapter 2.2.2.
HSDPA license resources (specified by HSDPA BTS processing sets) aredistributed among HSDPA schedulers/LCGs according to the rules presentedbelow.

Total HSDPA licensed throughput is distributed among the available HSDPAschedulers.
When the maximum licensed HSDPA throughput per scheduler is calculated, itis divided between HSDPA schedulers proportionally to "Maximum Throughputper HSDPA” commissioned values (HSDPA Throughput Step). ”Maximum

Throughput per HSDPA scheduler" is commissioned for each HSDPA schedulerseparately. The commissioned step is 7.2Mbps.
If there are only HSDPA Processing Set 1 licenses present in BTS, thedivision of the licensed throughput will be done for each scheduler
according to the following formula:
Scheduler_licensed_throughput=Round_down{Number_of_HSDPA _Processing_Sets*(Scheduler_HSDPA_throughput_step/Total_number_of_HSDPA_throughput_step_per_BTS)}*7,2 Mbps
Equation 5 Scheduler licensed throughput with BTS Processing Set 1 type only
If there are only HSDPA Processing Set 2 and three licenses are present inBTS, the division of licensed throughput will be done for each scheduler
according to the formula below:Scheduler_licensed_throughput=Round_down{(Number_of_HSDPA_Pr ocessing_Sets_2+4*Number_of_HSDPA_Processing_Sets_3)*(Scheduler_HSDPA_throughput_step/Total_number_of_HSDPA_throughput_step_per_BTS)}*21 Mbps
Equation 6 Scheduler licensed throughput with BTS Processing Set 2 or Set3type
where:
Scheduler_licensed_throughput refers to thelicensed throughputavailable for given scheduler
Number_of_HSDPA_Processing_Sets_2 refers to the number of HSDPAProcessing Sets 2 present in BTS;
Number_of_HSDPA_Processing_Sets_3 refers to the number ofHSDPA Processing Sets 3 present in BTS;
Scheduler_HSDPA_throughput_steprefers to the HSDPA throughputstep commissioned for given scheduler (see chapter 3.1);
Total_number_of_HSDPA_throughput_step_per_BTSrefers to the sumof all commissioned HSDPA throughput steps in the BTS.
If after calculations presented above throughput for all schedulers is lower thantotal licensed throughput in the BTS, the remaining throughput is distributedbetween activated schedulers. Schedulers are prioritized in the following order:
a) Scheduler with lowest value of licensed throughput divided bycommissioned throughput;
b) Schedulers belonging to LCG with the lowest ID (for Normal HSPAconfiguration (2 HSDPA schedulers activated) scheduler#1 isprioritized over scheduler#2)
Distribution of remaining throughput is done iteratively with resolution 7.2Mbpsor 21Mbps depending on available HSDPA Processing Set.

If there are no HSDPA BTS Processing Sets licenses available, BTS sets 0Mbps as throughput to all schedulers.
For example:
BTS configuration with two HSDPA schedulers (for example,NormalHSPA configuration) and four HSDPA Processing Sets:
- 3x HSDPA Processing Set 2 (3x 21Mbps) and 1x HSDPAProcessing Set 3 (1x 84Mbps) licenses available. Total licensedthroughput is 147Mbps
BTS has two HSDPA schedulers activated with following commissionedthroughput:
- Scheduler_#1 HSDPA Throughput Step=6 (42Mbps)
- Scheduler #2 HSDPA Throughput Step=18 (126Mbps)
According to Equation 6 scheduler licensed throughput is calculated as follows:Scheduler #1 = Round_down { (3 + 4* 1) * (6 / (6+18)) } * 21 Mbps =21Mbps
Scheduler #2 = Round_down { (3 + 4* 1) * (18 / (6+18)) } * 21 Mbps =105Mbps
Total licensed throughput available with HSDPA Processing Sets is147Mbps, while total scheduler licensed throughput is 21Mbps +105Mbps = 126Mbps, thus remaining 21Mbps is distributed toschedulers according to priority:
a) Scheduler with lowest value of licensed throughput divided by
commissioned throughput below commissioned throughput;
In case Scheduler #1: licensed throughput divided by commissionedthroughput = 21Mbps / 42Mbps = 0.5
In case Scheduler #2: licensed throughput divided by commissionedthroughput = 105Mbps / 126Mbps = 0.83
0.5 is lower than 0.83, thus according to a), the remaining 21Mbps isallocated to Scheduler #1.
In result licensed throughput of Scheduler #1 is 42Mbps while licensedthroughput of Scheduler #2 is 105Mbps
If there are no HSDPA BTS Processing Sets licenses available, BTS sets 0Mbps as throughput to all schedulers.
For example:
In case when only one HSDPA processing set 1 or set 2 waspurchased, then the entire licensed throughput will be assigned to onescheduler (there is no more licensed throughput left for remainingschedulers).
In case when HSDPA processing set 3 was purchased, then the totallicensed throughput can be shared between multiple schedulers.

In case when there are not sufficient HSDPA licenses compared to thenumber of scheduler, not all schedulers might get HSDPA throughput.
For example:
The operator has two schedulers and 1 x HSDPA BTS Processing Set2. In this case, first scheduler gets 21Mbps and the second scheduler0Mbps.
2) HSDPA users:
The number of HSDPA licensed users is distributed among the available LCGs.
The HSDPA user amount is controlled on the BTS level and it can be dividedbetween LCGs according to the commissioned shares.
The operator has the possibility to select the dedicated HSDPA option duringBTS commissioning (HSDPA user share). This option defines the
guaranteed HSDPA user capacity for each LCG. The sum of all dedicated
options of the LCG cannot exceed 100%. If this sum is less than 100%, thenthe remaining part is common and all LCG can use those licenses on a needbasis.
If commissioning is not done, then the user amount will be divided equallybetween LCGs.
For example:
If one HSDPA BTS processing set 3 license was bought, the availableuser amount is 72 users. If one LCG is set, all numbers of users can betaken.
If one HSDPA BTS processing set three licenses were bought and twoLCGs were configured, the operator can commission, for example, 20%
of all available users to LCG1 and 40% to LCG2. This means that theremaining 40% is common for both LCGs and can be shared freelybetween them.
If no commissioning is done, the whole available amount of users isdivided equally per each configured LCG.
For more information on HSDPA BTS processing set capacities, see chapter2.2.2.
3.4 Associated UL/DL DCH
The associated UL/DL DCH of the HSDPA user requires the capacity in thesame way as a normal DCH. See table below.

For more specific information related to HSUPA, see HSUPA in BTS document
Baseband capacity is reserved for HSUPA on a need basis. The basebandcapacity allocation might be changed dynamically between DCH and HSUPAuse. In the baseband allocation, DCH has a higher priority than HSUPA. Theoperator might commission a minimum fixed reservation for HSUPA, but the restof the capacity is dynamically allocated to HSUPA when DCH does not need it.
HSUPA is supported only with the co-existence of HSDPA.
With System Module Rel.3 depending on commissioned LCG configuration type,HSUPA scheduler supports:
160 HSUPA users (Small HSPA configuration)
240 HSUPA users (Normal HSPA configuration)

4.1.1 HSUPA resource steps
HSUPA baseband resource allocation is done with specific sizes of resourcesteps. The amount of resources needed depends on the desired throughput andthe number of NRT HSUPA users.
HSUPA activation does not require fixed processing resources when the featureis being activated (at least one HSUPA BTS processing set and HSDPA BTSprocessing set is required)
To allocate the next HSUPA resource step, an additional free capacity of sixRel99 CE is needed. These six Rel99 CEs must be licensed in LCG basebandcapacity. The required 6 Rel99 CE free on top of the HSUPA resource step is toavoid a “ping-pong” effect in reserving and freeing HSUPA resource steps. Thisis needed so that the HSUPA resource step is not requested back immediatelyafter its allocation.
When free channel capacity drops below four CE, the Resource Manager startsto free resources used by HSUPA.
4.1.2 HSUPA resource allocation
HSUPA does not consume Rel99 CE licenses (even for SRB purpose). Themaximum baseband resources that can be allocated for HSUPA are defined byHSUPA BTS processing sets.
Baseband resources allocated for HSUPA purpose can change dynamically,based on current need (number of active users and combined L1 throughput ofall NRT HSUPA users). HSUPA baseband resource allocation is performed on astep basis. One HSUPA baseband resource is called a HSUPA resource step.
One HSUPA resource step consumes 0.125 subunit of a System Module Rel.3subunit.

Table 14 HSUPA resource step baseband capacity
If the total number of available R99 CE licenses and the number of HSUPAresources (described by the number of available HSUPA BTS processing sets)exceed the System Module capacity for traffic, the overlapping basebandcapacity can be dynamically exchanged between R99 and HSUPA users.
One HSUPA BTS Processing Set license (per LCG) provides 48 Rel99 CEcapacities without Rel.99 CE licenses.
Below figure is an example of a no-license overlapping scenario.

overlapping
For overlapping R99 CE licenses and licensed HSUPA resources (defined bythe number of available HSUPA BTS processing sets), commissioning can beperformed to guarantee resources for HSUPA. HSUPA resource commissioningis performed with two parameters - HSUPA BB decoding capacity Mbps
and HSUPA BB minimum users. Up to two HSUPA resource steps can be
statically commissioned for HSUPA.
Note that single HSUPA scheduler can also use the capacity of both basebandextension submodules (FBBA).

In Table 15, Table 16, Table 16 and Table 17 the assumption is that the HSUPAlicensed capacity is limited, as well as the typical use case when the majority of the users
are DL data dominated and the remaining users are UL data dominated.
No more than 16.875 subunits can be allocated for HSUPA per single System ModuleRel.3
LCG conf iguration type FSMF FSMF + FBBA FSMF + 2xFBBA
Small HSPA 4,875 10,875 16,875
Normal HSPA 4,375 10,375 16,575
Table 19 Max number of HSUPA subunits wi th System Module Rel.3
If more than 160 (Small HSPA configuration) / 240 (Normal HSPA configuration) HSUPAusers per single System Module Rel.3 are required, then the second LCG needs to becreated.
To calculate the subunits reservation inside Rel.3 System Module for mixed user typecase, (F-DPCH/no-FDPCH/2ms TTI/10msTTI users and CS Voice over HSPA), thefollowing rule should be applied.
In some cases, the rule presented below leads to overestimation of baseband resources.
HSUPA_Subunits = F-DPCH_2msTTI_Subunits +
F-DPCH_10msTTI_Subunits + no-FDPCH_2msTTI_Subunits +
no-FDPCH_10msTTI_Subunits + CS_Voice_over _HSPA_Subunits
Equation 7 HSUPA subunits formula
where:
F-DPCH_2msTTI_Subunits – subunits required for HSUPA F-DPCH 2ms TTIusers (including data and CS Voice over HSPA users), calculated from Table 24;
F-DPCH_10msTTI_Subunits – subunits required for HSUPA F-DPCH 10ms TTIusers (including data and CS Voice over HSPA users), calculated from Table 26;
No-F-DPCH_2msTTI_Subunits – subunits required for HSUPA no-F-DPCH 2msTTI users, calculated from Table 25;
No-F-DPCH_10msTTI_Subunits – subunits required for HSUPA no-F-DPCH10ms TTI users, calculated from Table 27;
CS_Voice_over_HSPA_Subunits – subunits required for CS Voice over HSPAusers.
For example:
System Module Rel.3 in use;
HSUPA BTS combined L1 throughput = 28Mbps;

Number of F-DPCH 2ms TTI users = 8 UEs with 7Mbps throughput;
Number of F-DPCH 10ms TTI users = 18 UEs with 7Mbps throughput;
Number of no-F-DPCH 2ms TTI users = 22 UEs with 7Mbps throughput;
Number of no-F-DPCH 10ms TTI users = 34 UEs with 7Mbpsthroughput;
.
F-DPCH_2msTTI_Subunits – 0.875 subunit required; see Table 24 (eight users,7Mbps combined L1 thr);
F-DPCH_10msTTI_Subunits –0.75 subunit required; see Table 26 (18 users,7.2Mbps combined L1 thr);
No-F-DPCH_2msTTI_Subunits – 1 subunit required; see Table 25 (22 users,7Mbps combined L1 thr);
No-F-DPCH_10msTTI_Subunits – 1.25 subunit required; see Table 27 (34users, 7.2Mbps combined L1 thr);
According to
Equation 7 HSUPA_subunits = 0.875 + 0.75 + 1 + 1.25
= 3,875
Therefore: 3,875 subunits for HSUPA users are required.
4.1.3 Interference Cancellation uni t (PIC pool)
To achieve high HSUPA throughput, the interference cancellation feature isrecommended. Interference cancellation is performed with PIC pool units. With thecommissioning parameter, the operator can activate the required number of PIC pools,and then perform cell mapping to the PIC pools.
PIC pool unit is LCG specific therefore it can provide interference cancelation for HSUPAcells dedicated to LCG where PIC pool unit and HSPA schedulers resources areallocated.
Up to six cells (with 2 way Rx diversity) can be mapped to one PIC pool unit andinterference cancellation is performed in six cells at the same time.
4-way Rx diversity is not supported with Interference Cancellation feature.
Cells from the same frequency layer (LCG) should be mapped to the same PIC pool unit.
Up to two frequency layers are supported by one PIC pool.
One PIC pool unit consumes one subunit capacity.

A CS voice over HSPA user has the same priority as an HSPA user.
Each CS voice over HSPA user decreases the number of HSUPA users allowed by theHSUPA license (HSUPA processing set) and the HSDPA license (HSDPA processingset).
CS voice over HSPA user consumes HSDPA and HSUPA scheduler resources, forexample, decreases the maximum number of HSPA users by one
CS Voice over HSPA users are allocated in the baseband capacity licensed for HSUPA.

4.1.5 E-TFCI table selection
E-DCH Transport Format Combination Indicator (E-TFCI) corresponds to single TransportBlock Size (TBS) transmitted within E-DPCH in single TTI. E-TFCI table is a set of TBSs,which can be selected for E-DCH transmission. In case 10ms TTI transmission 3GPPdefines two E-TFCI tables:
- E-TFCI Table 0,- E-TFCI Table 1;
For 10ms TTI transmission with configured F-DPCH channel (RAN1201 FractionalDPCH), it is recommended to use E-TFCI Table 1. Otherwise, if E-TFCI Table 0 isconfigured for 10ms TTI HSUPA users with F-DPCH channel, the amount of HSUPAusers in baseband gets limited. For E-TFCI Table 1, baseband can support 60% lessusers than in E-TFCI Table 0. Decoding capacity of a low data rate user with E-TFCITable 0 is affected, as in this case user consumes more baseband resources than a userwith E-TFCI Table 1. As a result, less resources are available for high data rate users.
For low data rates (single Mac-d PDU) and E-TFCI Table 0, the smallest physical channelfor sending one MAC-d PDU in a TTI is limited to Spreading Factor 16 (SF16). It is limitedby coding rate, which has constant threshold value in 3GPP. E-TFCI Table 1 allowsusage of physical channel SF32. Physical channel SF16 requires roughly double baseband resources compared to SF32 and thus it has direct impact on the amount of usersthat can be allocated.
Note that if SF16 or higher physical channel is not allowed then coding rate is allowed toget smaller values and SF32 is possible for one MAC-d PDU also with E-TFCI table 0.
To configure E-TFCI Table 1 for 10ms FDPCH E-DCH transmission, RNC PRFILEparameter needs to be modified (available from RU30EP2). Refer to WCDMA RAN and I-HSPA RRM HSUPA document for E-TFCI table configuration details.
4.1.6 HSUPA BTS Processing Set resources allocation
Each HSUPA BTS processing set license increases the LCG’s maximum user amount bytwenty four users and the available throughput by 5.8Mbps. For example, if two HSUPABTS processing sets were bought, then up to 2x5.8Mbps = 11.6Mbps throughput will be

supported and up to 2x24 users = 48 users. Note that also an ASW license might beneeded to reach a certain throughput or amount of users.
In RU30, the HSUPA license (HSUPA BTS processing set) does not assure maximumthroughput to all users simultaneously, but it provides maximum throughput (5.8Mbps) toone user and minimum throughput to all 24 users. Therefore, to calculate the requirednumber of HSUPA BTS processing sets for certain number of users and throughputvalue, it is recommended to use the following formula:
Number_of_HSUPA_BTS_Processing_Sets
max {
Roundup ((F-DPCH_2msTTI_Subunits + F-DPCH_10msTTI_Subuni ts
+ no-FDPCH_2msTTI_Subunits + no-FDPCH_10msTTI_Subunits +CS_Voice_over_HSPA_Subuni ts) / 0.75 ); Minimum number of HSUPA BTSProcessing Sets };

F-DPCH_10msTTI_Subunits – subunits required for HSUPA F-DPCH 10ms TTIusers, calculated from Table 26;
No-F-DPCH_2msTTI_Subunits – subunits required for HSUPA no-F-DPCH 2msTTI users, calculated from Table 25;
No-F-DPCH_10msTTI_Subunits – subunits required for HSUPA no-F-DPCH10ms TTI users, calculated from Table 27;

Roundup (HSUPA_users / 24); Roundup (HSUPA_throughput / 5.8) };Equation 9 Minimum number of HSUPA BTS Processing Sets

Equation 7, for more information see previous example) it occurs that 3,875subunits in total are required for HSUPA users (82 HSUPA data users/combined
L1 throughput = 28Mbps);
Using Equation 8 and Equation 9 Number of HSUPA BTS Processing Sets =max (roundup(3.875 / 0,75) ; roundup (82 / 24) ; roundup(28 / 5,8) ) = max(roundup(5.17); roundup(3.41); roundup(4.8) ) = max( 6 ; 4 ; 5) = 6;
The required throughput and number of active HSUPA users can beachieved simultaneously.
If Baseband pooling is used then BTS will divide the HSUPA licenses between LCGsaccording to the commissioned share (shareOfHSUPALicences ). The sum of LCG
shares is always 100%. HSUPA license share is performed with HSUPA BTS processingset license granularity. If licenses cannot be shared equally between LCGs, the BTS willdivide the higher amount of licenses to the LCG starting from the lowest LCG number.For example, if commissioned shares are 50%/50%, and there are five HSUPA licenses,then LCG1 gets three licenses and LCG2 gets two licenses.

5 Extended cell in Flexi WCDMA
BTSThe basic principles for Extended Cell in WCDMA BTS are as follows:
- A cell is called an Extended Cell when its radius is >20km;- Cells with radius ≤ 20km are treated according to normal baseband
dimensioning rules;- Additional resources need to be calculated separately for each Extended Cell.
For example, if there is a 1+1+1 configuration, with 1 * 20km cell and 2 * 100km cell, it isneeded to calculate 1* 20km cell according to normal common channel dimensioningrules and 2 *100 km cells according to Extended Cell dimensioning rules.
- Extended cell baseband dimensioning rules are the same for all WCDMA
frequencies.- One or several of the cells in the BTS (supported configurations) can beconfigured as Extended Cells.
For more specific information about extended cell feature, see RAN1127: Extended Cell(180km) feature description
5.1 Extended cell dimensioning details
Extended Cell Common Control Channel dimensioning rules for Flexi WCDMA BTS areas follows:
Required baseband resources for Flexi System Module Rel. 3:
The number of baseband resources (CCCH pools) required for the Extended Celldepends on cell range and site configuration. One Extended Cell with range up to 180kmcan be served with CCCH pool (0.5 subunit). However, if a lower cell radius is required,more than one Extended Cell can be served with one CCCH pool or the Extended Cellcan be served together with normal cells using CCCH resources included in the SystemModule Rel.3 capacity. Note that each CCCH pool requires CCCH Processing Set foractivation.

6.1 HSDPA + AMR call resource allocation
If UE has active HSDPA service (UL: Rel.99, DL: HSDPA) while AMR on DCH service isestablished, Rel99 CE resources for the AMR service are allocated. DCH service of MultiRAB call consumes Rel99 CE licenses in UL/DL for DCH processing.
6.2 HSUPA + AMR call resource allocationIf AMR DCH service is established while UE has an active HSUPA service (UL:HSUPA,DL: HSDPA), the AMR service is processed with already allocated HSUPA resources. AMR service of Multi RAB call does not require any additional baseband resources forprocessing, nor Rel99 CE licenses in UL/DL are required.
AMR service of a Multi RAB call is processed on the same System Module where anongoing HSPA service of a Mutli RAB call is processed.
Set up of an AMR service with ongoing HSPA connection might have an impact onavailable baseband resources depending whether FDPCH feature is actively used by theUE:
