1.1 Activating Basic HSDPA with QPSK and 5 codesPurposeFollow this procedure to activate feature RAN763: Basic HSDPA with QPSK and 5 codes in the RNC.

Before you startThis feature belongs to application software. Ensure that you have a valid licence. This feature is under licence key management.

Before licensed features can be activated, the licence (a file containing the feature infor-mation) must be transferred to and installed in the RNC. The licence can be installed with NetAct or with a local MML interface. If NetAct is used for the installation, the state of any feature covered by the licence is automatically set to ON. If the MML interface is used, the user must set the feature state (ON/OFF/CONFIG) explicitely. In new installa-tions, the default state is OFF. When installing a new increment, the previously set state remains as the default. For more information on feature states, see Section Installing licences in the network element in Licence-based Feature Management.

Use the ZW7M command to activate the license for the feature with the feature code 641.

The parameters can be configured with the RNC RNW Object Browser GUI.

Select the packet scheduler (baseband option) to be used in the BTS according to the instructions in Baseband options in WCDMA RAN HSDPA in BTS.

In order to activate the HSPA feature in the DMPG units, you need to know the present capacity step of your RNC. With this information, you can assign a predefined amount of the Data and Macro Diversity Combining Unit (DMCU) capacity to the HSDPA soft pool. Select the correct capacity step from the tables in Change the pool allocation.

Give the following command to find out the current Data and Macro Diversity Processor Group (DMPG) resource allocation situation:

• Service pool setup name: the name of the DMPG pool setup. DMPG pool setup defines how DSP service pools are selected for DSPs in the DMPG. ? In 'DCH DMPG' all DSPs support only DCH services, and in 'HS DMPG' part of the DSPs are dedicated for DCH traffic only and part of the DSPs for HSPA traffic only (this division can be checked with ZWPI:C:; command, but not adjusted by the user).

• Configured share %: configured share defines how big part of the DMPG units should use this DMPG pool setup in question (as percentage value).

• Actual share %: the current amount of the DMPG units using this DMPG pool setup (as percentage value).

• Number of Units: the current amount of the DMPG units using the pool setup in question.

When the configured share and actual share are equal, pool allocation has been com-pleted successfully.

Even if resources have already been allocated and the printout is not exactly the same as above, you can still follow the steps below to activate the HSPA feature in the DMPG units.

Steps

1 Select a capacity step.Select a capacity step from the tables in step 2.

In this example, the capacity steps RNC196/48M and RNC2600/900M are used. Modify the commands accordingly when using a different capacity step.

2 Change the Pool allocation.According to Table RNC capacity steps for RNC196 and RNC450 when the feature RAN1226: HSPA Peak Rate Upgrade is not used, you must allocate 68% of the DMPGs to the DCH DMPG (SETUP1) and 33% to the HS DMPG (SETUP2).

4 Configure WBTS and CoCo.For the WBTS object, set the values for the following parameters:

22 DN0554882Issue 09C



HSDPA

• PtxnonHSDPA averaging window size for LC (WinLCHSDPA) • Shared HSDPA AAL2 allocation (SharedHSDPAallocation) • Number of overbooked HSDPA users (NbrOfOverbookedHSDPAUsers) • Release timer for shared HSDPA allocation

(ReleaseTimerForSharedHSDPAallocation) • Shared HSDPA AAL2 VCC selection method

(SharedHSDPAVCCSelectionMethod)

As there are no HSDPA-specific parameters for the CoCo object, set the values normally according to the transmission network planning. The default values can be used initially.

For more information on WBTS and CoCo, see Sections Creating a WCDMA BTS site in Integrating RNC, Modifying WCDMA BTS parameters in Administering Radio Net-works, Creating a radio network connection configuration in Integrating RNC, and Mod-ifying radio network connection configuration parameters in Administering Radio Networks.

For more information on the relevant WBTS and CoCo parameters, see WCDMA Radio Network Configuration Parameters.

5 Configure FMCS/FMCI/FMCG.Set the values for the FMCS, FMCI, and FMCG parameters listed below. With these parameters, you can adjust the sensitivity of the transfer from HS-DSCH to DCH. The default values can be used initially.

Note that it is not always necessary to create a new FMCS/FMCI/FMCG set for HSDPA; you can also use the same FMCS/FMCI/FMCG set as for RT and NRT calls. The ID of the HSDPA FMCS set (HsdpaFmcsIdentifier) can, for example, be the same as the ID of the RT or NRT FMCS set (RtFmcsIdentifier or NrtFmcsIdentifier).

• FMCS is needed if ADJS is defined for WCEL. • FMCI is needed if ADJI is defined for WCEL. • FMCG is needed if ADJG is defined for WCEL.

FMCS parameters

• Addition Window (AdditionWindow) • Addition Time (AdditionTime) • Addition Reporting Interval (AdditionReportingInterval) • CPICH Ec/No Filter Coefficient (EcNoFilterCoefficient) • CPICH Ec/No HHO Threshold (HHoEcNoThreshold) • CPICH Ec/No HHO Time Hysteresis (HHoEcNoTimeHysteresis) • CPICH RSCP HHO Filter Coefficient (HHoRscpFilterCoefficient) • CPICH RSCP HHO Threshold (HHoRscpThreshold) • CPICH RSCP HHO Time Hysteresis (HHoRscpTimeHysteresis)

FMCI parameters

• IFHO caused by UE TX Power (IFHOcauseTxPwrUL) • IFHO caused by CPICH Ec/No (IFHOcauseCPICHEcNo) • IFHO caused by CPICH RSCP (IFHOcauseCPICHrscp) • UE TX Power Filter Coefficient (InterFreqUETxPwrFilterCoeff) • UE TX Power Threshold for NRT PS (InterFreqUETxPwrThrNrtPS)

DN0554882Issue 09C

23



• UE TX Power Time Hysteresis (InterFreqUETxPwrTimeHyst)

FMCG parameters

• GSM HO caused by CPICH Ec/No (GSMcauseCPICHEcNo) • GSM HO caused by CPICH RSCP (GSMcauseCPICHrscp) • GSM HO caused by UE TX Power (GSMcauseTxPwrUL) • UE TX Power Filter Coefficient (GsmUETxPwrFilterCoeff) • UE TX Power Threshold for NRT PS (GsmUETxPwrThrNrtPS) • UE TX Power Time Hysteresis (GsmUETxPwrTimeHyst)

For more information on FMC, see Sections Creating frequency measurement control in RNC Integration and Modifying frequency measurement control parameters in Radio Network Administration.

For more information on the relevant FMCS, FMCI, and FMCG parameters, see WCDMA Radio Network Configuration Parameters.

6 Configure HOPS.Set the values for the following HOPS parameters:

• HHO Margin for Average Ec/No (HHOMarginAverageEcNo) • HHO Margin for Peak Ec/No (HHOMarginPeakEcNo) • Release Margin for Average Ec/No (ReleaseMarginAverageEcNo) • Release Margin for Peak Ec/No (ReleaseMarginPeakEcNo) • CPICH Ec/No Averaging Window (EcNoAveragingWindow) • Enable RRC Connection Release (EnableRRCRelease)

The default values can be used initially. HSDPA-specific HOPS is needed for advanced features such as HSDPA CELL FACH inter RNC mobility.

HOPS is needed if the HSDPA-enabled WCEL has ADJS. If HOPS is not configured, the mobility of the UE in the network cannot be guaranteed.

For more information on HOPS, see Sections Creating handover path in Integrating RNC and Modifying handover path parameters in Administering Radio Networks.

For more information on the relevant HOPS parameters, see WCDMA Radio Network Configuration Parameters.

7 Configure ADJS.Configure the ADJS for the WCEL by setting the value for the HSDPAHopsIdentifier parameter. Use the same value as in step 6.

For more information on the relevant ADJS parameters, see WCDMA Radio Network Configuration Parameters.

8 Configure WCEL.

Before you startEnsure that the PLMN ID of the circuit-switched core network and packet-switched core network is correct (according to the network planning). The PLMN identity must be con-figured when creating the core network. For more information, see WCELCSCNId (CS

Core Network Identity) and WCELPSCNId (PS Core Network Identity) parameters in WCDMA Radio Network Configuration Parameters.

In the WCEL object modification operation, the WCEL must be locked before the value of the HSDPAenabled parameter can be changed. The WCEL must also be locked when modifying the PtxMaxHSDPA parameter.

a) Set the values for the following parameters. The default values can be used initially. • Target for transmitted non-HSDPA power (PtxTargetHSDPA) • Maximum allowed HSDPA power (PtxMaxHSDPA) • Offset for transmitted non-HSDPA power (PtxOffsetHSDPA) • HSDPA FMCS identifier (HSDPAFmcsIdentifier) • HSDPA FMCI identifier (HSDPAFmciIdentifier) • HSDPA FMCG identifier (HSDPAFmcgIdentifier) • HSDPA enabled (HSDPAenabled) • Directed RRC connection setup enabled (DirectedRRCEnabled)Select the required parameters from the HC, AC, and LC tabs of the Modify WCEL dialog box. The default values can be used initially.

b) Set the correct FMCS, FMCI, and FMCG references corresponding to theHSDPA FMCS identifier, HSDPA FMCI identifier, and HSDPA FMCG identifier parameters.

c) After the HSDPA parameters have been configured as planned, set the value for the HSDPA enabled parameter to Enabled. This activates HSDPA functionality for the cell.For more information, see Sections Creating a WCDMA cell in Integrating RNC and Modifying WCDMA cell parameters in Administering Radio Networks. For more information on the relevant WCEL parameters, see WCDMA Radio Network Config-uration Parameters.

Expected outcomeThe HSDPA feature is activated in the cell(s) of the RNC. The BTS informs the RNC when HSDPA is active. The HSDPA state can be seen on the Operational HS-DSCH state WCEL parameter. The expected state is ENABLED.

Unexpected outcomeIf something goes wrong when the RNC requests configuration or reconfiguration of the HSDPA channels to the BTS, the following alarm is set:

7772 Physical shared channel configuration failed

If the BTS informs that the Operational HS-DSCH state is DISABLED, the following alarm occurs:

7776 HSDPA failure in WCEL

Do not cancel the alarms. The system cancels the alarms automatically when the fault has been corrected.

Next successful configuration of the HSDPA channels cancels alarm 7772.

For more information on the alarms and troubleshooting instructions, see Base Station Alarms (7000–7900).

Further informationIt is not necessary to reset the RNC after activating this feature.

HSDPA Features, Feature Activation Manual RAN839: HSDPA 16 Users per Cell


2 RAN839: HSDPA 16 Users per Cell

2.1 Activating HSDPA 16 Users per CellPurposeFollow this procedure to activate feature RAN839: Activating HSDPA 16 Users per Cell.

This optional feature enables a cell-dedicated packet scheduler in the BTS, which is capable of serving 16 simultaneous HSDPA users.

Before you startThe following features with RNC licenses need to be activated in order to activate this feature:

• RAN763: Basic HSDPA with QPSK and 5 codes

For instructions, see Activating Basic HSDPA with QPSK and 5 codes.

This feature belongs to application software. Ensure that you have a valid license. This feature is under license key management.

Before licensed features can be activated, the license (a file containing the feature infor-mation) must be transferred to and installed in the RNC. The license can be installed with NetAct or with a local MML interface. If NetAct is used for the installation, the state of any feature covered by the license is automatically set to ON. If the MML interface is used, the user must set the feature state (ON/OFF/CONFIG) explicitely. In new installa-tions, the default state is OFF. For more information on feature states, see Section Installing licenses in the network element in License-based Feature Management.


Steps

1 Open the WCDMA BTS Site Manager.

2 Set the commissioning parameter HSDPA.BB.Resource.Allocation to value 16 HSDPA Users per Cell.The corresponding value in the commissioning file is Cell.

Expected outcomeThe BTS is restarted and the feature is activated. The BTS accepts up to 16 users per cell.

Further informationRecommissioning the BTS baseband setting requires a BTS restart for the new config-uration to activate. RNC restart is not required to activate this feature.

Note that if RNC has a valid license for feature RAN1033: HSDPA 48 Users per Cell or RAN1464: HSDPA 64 Users per Cell, BTS rejects the setups exceeding 16 users per scheduler in this baseband configuration. With RAN1033: HSDPA 48 Users per Cell, the BTS baseband should be configured instead to setting Full Baseband or Shared HSDPA Scheduler for Baseband Efficiency. For more information, see the fol-lowing activation instructions:

HSDPA Features, Feature Activation Manual RAN1034: Shared HSDPA Scheduler for Baseband Ef-ficiency


3 RAN1034: Shared HSDPA Scheduler for Baseband Efficiency

3.1 Activating Shared HSDPA Scheduler for Baseband Effi-ciencyPurposeFollow the procedure below to activate feature RAN1034: Shared HSDPA Scheduler for Baseband Efficiency.

This optional feature enables simultaneous HSDPA transmission of up to three HSDPA-capable cells by using a single WSPC card or one submodule in the Flexi WCDMA BTS. It is application software and under license key management.

Before you startAt least the following feature with RNC license needs to be activated before activating this feature:

• RAN763: Basic HSDPA with QPSK and 5 codes (For activation instructions, see Activating Basic HSDPA with QPSK and 5 codes.)

BTS needs to have one of following baseband allocations commissioned:

• Minimum Baseband (commissioning file value “BTS”) • 16 HSDPA Users per Cell (commissioning file value “Cell”)

Baseband option “Full Baseband” (commissioning file value “Full”) cannot be selected, because it would override the license of RAN1034 and enable the cell-specific sched-uler.

BTS needs to have a valid license for feature RAN1034: Shared HSDPA Scheduler for Baseband Efficiency present in the BTS.

A BTS reset is required to activate this feature.

☞ To allow easy upgrade from Minimum Baseband or 16 HSDPA Users per Cell without commissioning each BTS, this feature can be activated by loading a license file to each BTS and resetting the BTS. After BTS reset, BTS checks if the commis-sioning parameter (HSDPA.BB.Resource.Allocation) is set to either Minimum Baseband or to 16 HSDPA Users per Cell and a valid license is found. Then BTS takes the upgraded scheduler into use. That is, the license overrides the Minimum Baseband or 16 HSDPA Users per Cell setting.

For a thorough explanation of baseband settings, see Baseband options in WCDMA RAN HSDPA in BTS.

Steps


2 Download a valid license for the feature to the BTS.

36 DN0554882Issue 09C



RAN1034: Shared HSDPA Scheduler for Baseband Ef-ficiency

3 If BTS is commissioned to Full Baseband, commission the BTS to use either Minimum Baseband or 16 HSDPA users per cell as HSDPA Baseband Allocation, and send the parameter to the BTS. Otherwise, go to step 4.

4 Define the cell groups for the BTS with the Tcell parameter. For more information on the Tcell parameter usage, see Baseband options in WCDMA RAN HSDPA in BTS.

5 Reset the BTS.A whole WSPC card (sub-module in case of FlexiBTS) is used to provide capacity for two to three cells in the BTS.

The card supports a maximum of 48/64 simultaneous HSDPA users, depending on the hardware as described earlier.

Expected outcomeIn BTS restart, the license of RAN1034: Shared HSDPA Scheduler for Baseband Effi-ciency overrides the “Minimum Baseband” or “16 HSDPA Users per Cell” setting and the feature is activated. The scheduler supporting a total of 48/64 (HW dependent) users in the cell group is active.

Note that RNC limits the user amount per cell to 16 (3*16=48). To allow higher flexibility for distributing the users to the shared scheduler cells or to increase the amount of users admitted to the cell group, the cell-specific limit of RNC can be increased to 48 per cell (maximum amount of users per cell group does not change) by activating the RNC license controlled feature RAN1033: HSDPA 48 Users per Cell or RAN1464: HSDPA 64 Users per Cell in RNC, but without changing the baseband setting of BTS.

Further informationFor more information on commissioning, see BTS Commissioning Instructions in BTS Product Documentation sets.

DN0554882Issue 09C

3.2 Verifying Shared HSDPA Scheduler for Baseband Effi-ciencyPurposeFollow the procedure below to verify the activation of feature RAN1034: Shared HSDPA Scheduler for Baseband Efficiency.

Steps

1 If the M5000 HSPA in WBTS measurement is not active, start the RNW Measure-ment Management application in the RNC Element Manager.For more information on starting measurements, see Sections Management of basic RNW measurements and Starting radio network measurements in Managing RNC mea-surements.

2 Activate HSDPA for three cells by configuring the cells to same Tcell group.

3 Allocate one UE to each cell.

4 Verify whether three cells transmit data simultaneously.This can be done, for example, by monitoring the following RNW Measurement Presen-tation GUI counter. The counters indicate the number of users scheduled during each 2ms TTI in cells controlled by the MAC-hs Packet Scheduler.

A non-zero value in the following counter indicates that the feature is working:

• M5000C81 HSDPA USERS 1 IN TARGET CELL 2 IN OTHER CELL

The value is incremented when all three users are scheduled in same TTI. If counter M5000C81 stays at zero, check that the baseband allocation setting in the BTS is correct (“Minimum Baseband” or “16 HSDPA Users per Cell”) and that the licence is loaded in the BTS.

5 Add two more users to each cell.This step can be performed if you have enabled the RAN853: HSDPA Code Multiplexing on top of this scheduler and have configured up to three HS-SCCH codes to the cells.

This step also highlights the RU10 release upgrade to the combined operation of shared scheduler with code multiplexing. That is, the scheduler is able to multiplex up to six (WSPC/FSMB) / eight (FSMC/FSMD) users per TTI (up to three per cell as defined for the RAN853). When user cannot use the available resources – for example has less data in priority queue than the radio conditions would allow to send - the freed power and code resources are given to other users. This operation can be seen from the coun-ters:

• M5000C76 HSDPA USERS 0 IN TARGET CELL 1 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C77 HSDPA USERS 0 IN TARGET CELL 2 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C78 HSDPA USERS 0 IN TARGET CELL 3 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C79 HSDPA USERS 1 IN TARGET CELL 0 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C80 HSDPA USERS 1 IN TARGET CELL 1 IN OTHER CELL

38 DN0554882Issue 09C



• M5000C81 HSDPA USERS 1 IN TARGET CELL 2 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C82 HSDPA USERS 2 IN TARGET CELL 0 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C83 HSDPA USERS 2 IN TARGET CELL 1 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C84 HSDPA USERS 3 IN TARGET CELL 0 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C158 HSDPA USERS 0 IN TARGET CELL 4 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C159 HSDPA USERS 0 IN TARGET CELL 5 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C160 HSDPA USERS 0 IN TARGET CELL 6 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C161 HSDPA USERS 1 IN TARGET CELL 3 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C162 HSDPA USERS 1 IN TARGET CELL 4 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C163 HSDPA USERS 1 IN TARGET CELL 5 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C164 HSDPA USERS 1 IN TARGET CELL 6 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C165 HSDPA USERS 2 IN TARGET CELL 2 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C166 HSDPA USERS 2 IN TARGET CELL 3 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C167 HSDPA USERS 2 IN TARGET CELL 4 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C168 HSDPA USERS 2 IN TARGET CELL 5 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C169 HSDPA USERS 2 IN TARGET CELL 6 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C170 HSDPA USERS 3 IN TARGET CELL 1 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C171 HSDPA USERS 3 IN TARGET CELL 2 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C172 HSDPA USERS 3 IN TARGET CELL 3 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C173 HSDPA USERS 3 IN TARGET CELL 4 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C174 HSDPA USERS 3 IN TARGET CELL 5 IN OTHER CELL

They count the number of TTIs where N users were multiplexed in the monitored cell and M users in the other cells controlled by the shared scheduler.

In this case a non-zero value in any of the counters indicating more than one HSDPA user in target cell indicates that the RAN853: HSDPA Code Multiplexing is working.

For more information on counters, see RNC Counters – RNW Part.

3.3 Deactivating Shared HSDPA Scheduler for Baseband Effi-ciencyPurposeFollow the procedure below to deactivate feature RAN1034: Shared HSDPA Scheduler for Baseband Efficiency.

Steps

1 You can deactivate the feature in two ways:Delete the license from the BTS and reset the BTS.

OrRecommission the BTS and set the HSDPA Baseband Allocation to Full Base-band.

Expected outcomeThe feature is deactivated. If you only delete the license, the BTS activates the Minimum Baseband or HSDPA 16 users per cell scheduler. Otherwise BTS activates the high capacity cell specific scheduler (Full Baseband).

Further informationFor more information, see Section Removing licenses from the network element in License-based Feature Management.

4.1 Activating HSDPA 48 users per cellPurposeFollow the procedure below to activate feature RAN1033: HSDPA 48 Users per Cell.

This optional feature makes it possible to have 48 simultaneous HSDPA users in one cell. This feature is application software and under RNC licence key management.

A high-capacity dedicated packet scheduler is assigned to each HSDPA cell. HS-DSCH is transmitted simultaneously in each cell.

Before you startThe following features with RNC licences need to be activated to activate this feature:

• RAN763: Basic HSDPA with QPSK and 5 codes • RAN1013: 16 kbit/s Return Channel DCH Data Rate Support for HSDPA

For activation instructions, see Activating Basic HSDPA with QPSK and 5 codes.

Feature RAN1013: 16 kbit/s Return Channel DCH Data Rate Support for HSDPA is available for sensible Iub and BTS baseband dimensioning with increased amount of users. It can be enabled with parameter HSDPA16KBPSReturnChannel. The initial and minimum bitrates on the return channel can be controlled with parameters HSDPAinitialBitrateUL and HSDPAminAllowedBitrateUL.

Feature RAN409: Throughput Based Optimisation of the Packet Scheduler Algorithm can be optionally activated. This feature downgrades the DCH bit rate if DCH utilisation is smaller than the reserved bit rate. In practice, when more HSDPA users come in, the bit rates of each user get smaller. As a result, the resources reserved for those users should be decreased.

Ensure that you have a valid licence. Before licenced features can be activated, the licence (a file containing the feature information) must be transferred to and installed in the RNC.

The licence can be installed/activated/deactivated with NetAct or with a local MML inter-face.

• If NetAct is used for the installation, the state of any feature covered by the licence is automatically set to ON.

• If the MML interface is used, the user must set the feature state (ON/OFF/CONFIG) explicitly. In new installations, the default state is OFF. For more information on feature states, see Installing licences in the network element in Licence-based Feature Management.

By default, RNC limits the cell-level user amount to 16 for each cell. With this feature, that amount is raised to 48. BTS needs to have baseband allocation parameter HSDPA.BB.Resource.Allocation commissioned to Full Baseband. The corre-sponding value in the commissioning file is Full.

The value can be controlled with WCDMA BTS Site Manager.

For a thorough explanation of baseband settings, see Baseband options in WCDMA RAN HSDPA in BTS.

For more information on HSDPA dimensioning, also see Dimensioning WCDMA RAN.

HSDPA Features, Feature Activation Manual RAN312: HSDPA Dynamic Resource Allocation

Id:0900d805806e2dc7Confidential

8 RAN312: HSDPA Dynamic Resource Alloca-tion

8.1 Activating HSDPA Dynamic Resource AllocationPurposeFollow the procedure below to activate feature RAN312: HSDPA Dynamic Resource Allocation.

Before you startThe basic HSDPA must be configured before this feature can be activated. For instruc-tions, see Section Activating Basic HSDPA with QPSK and 5 codes.

Ensure that you have a valid licence. This feature is under licence key management.


This feature belongs to the application software.

With this optional feature, BTS (Node B) dynamically controls the amount of DL power used for HSDPA. This feature controls dynamically the allocation of HS-PDSCH codes and downlink power resources that can be used for HSDPA and R99 channels. BTS (NodeB)-based HSDPA dynamic power allocation is realised in the RNC.

The feature comprises the following functionalities:

• Dynamic NRT DCH scheduling (RNC) • Dynamic power allocation (BTS) • Dynamic allocation of HS-PDSCH codes

Dynamic allocation of HS-PDSCH codes requires the HSDPA 15 Codes optional feature. The RNC dynamically adjusts the HS-PDSCH codes from 5 to the maximum number according to the instantaneous traffic mix in the cell (DCH load). The operator can define the set of permitted HS-PDSCH codes.

Parameters used with this feature:

• PtxCellMax – operator adjustable management parameter • MaxDLPowerCapability – the maximum output power capability received from

the BTS

The RNC selects and uses the smaller value between the PtxCellMax and MaxDLPowerCapability parameters received from the BTS.

Before activating the feature, configure the following WCEL parameters:

• Min DCH PS target for HSDPA dynamic pwr allocation (PtxTargetPSMin)

• DCH PS target step up for HSDPA dynamic pwr allocation (PtxTargetPSStepUp)

56 DN0554882Issue 09C


Id:0900d805806e2dc7Confidential

RAN312: HSDPA Dynamic Resource Allocation

• DCH PS target step down for HSDPA dynamic pwr alloc (PtxTargetPSStepDown)

• High threshold of PtxTotal for HSDPA dynamic pwr alloc (PtxHighHSDPAPwr)

• DCH PS target adjustment period for HSDPA dyn pwr alloc (PtxTargetPSAdjustPeriod)

Feature RAN312: HSDPA Dynamic Resource Allocation should be activated/deacti-vated only if the HSDPA is disabled in the cell or if the cell is locked.

To activate this feature you do not need to lock all the cells simultaneously.


Steps


2 Open the WCEL object.

3 Deactivate HSDPA in the cells one by one: Set theHSDPAenabled parameter to 'Disabled'.You need to lock and unlock the cells for this procedure.


5 Activate HSDPA Dynamic Resource Allocation feature in the RNC by setting HSDPADynamicResourceAllocation parameter to 'Enabled' in the Miscella-neous Parameters of the PS tab.

6 Open the WCEL object.

7 Activate HSDPA in the cells one by one: Set HSDPAenabled parameter to 'Enabled'.You need to lock and unlock the cells for this procedure.

Expected outcomeThe feature is activated.

Based on the HSDPADynamicResourceAllocation management parameter and capability indication from the BTS, the RNC decides whether to apply a static or dynamic resource allocation algorithm for downlink power resources and HS-PDSCH codes.

In the case of dynamic resource allocation, the RNC does not allocate HSDPA power (BTS-based power allocation) and can allocate up to 15 HS-PDSCH codes depending on the prevailing load in the cell and the maximum number of HS-PDSCH codes. If the BTS does not send capability information, the RNC applies static resource allocation.

Id:0900d805805d895dConfidential

8.2 Verifying HSDPA Dynamic Resource AllocationPurposeFollow the procedure below to verify the activation of feature RAN312: HSDPA Dynamic Resource Allocation.

Steps

1 Start Cell Load online monitoring with the RNW Online Monitoring application.

2 Make PS NRT calls with an HSDPA capable UE.

3 Check the value of the Ptx Target PS parameter in online monitoring.If the feature is DISABLED and one MAC-d flow (HSDPA call) is allocated, Ptx Target PS will follow the PtxTargetHSDPA parameter (Cell/AC parameter). For example, if default parameter values are used, Ptx Target PS will be 38.5 dBm in an empty cell after the first HSDPA call is allocated.

If the feature is ENABLED and one MAC-d flow (HSDPA call) is allocated, the value of Ptx Target PS parameter is the lower of PtxTarget and PtxTargetPSMax param-eters. For example, if default parameter values are used, Ptx Target PS will be 40 dBm in an empty cell after the first HSDPA call is allocated.

Expected outcomeThe activation of feature RAN312: HSDPA Dynamic Resource Allocation has been ver-ified.

HSDPA Features, Feature Activation Manual RAN852: HSDPA 15 Codes


9 RAN852: HSDPA 15 Codes

9.1 Activating HSDPA 15 CodesPurposeThis optional feature allows the allocation of a maximum of 15 HS-PDSCH codes per cell. The allocation of 15 codes increases the average cell throughput by about 50% in comparison to the same 5-code reference scenario. This feature is application software and under licence key management.

This feature offers two options depending on the installed licence: 10 codes or 15 codes. Follow the procedure below to activate feature RAN852: HSDPA 15 Codes.

Before you startThe following features with RNC licences need to be activated before this feature is fully in use:

• RAN763: Basic HSDPA with QPSK and 5 codes • RAN852: HSDPA 15 Codes (needed for cat 7-10 terminals) • RAN312: HSDPA Dynamic Resource Allocation (needed for RAN852)

For activation instructions, see Activating Basic HSDPA with QPSK and 5 codes and Activating HSDPA Dynamic Resource Allocation.

The activation of the feature takes place in the RNC.

The RNC periodically attempts to upgrade the HS-PDSCH codes when the timer for the periodical adjustment of the HS-PDSCH codes (parameter HSPDSCHAdjustPeriod) expires.

BTS baseband must be set up according to instructions in Activating Shared HSDPA Scheduler for Baseband Efficiency, Activating HSDPA 48 Users per Cell or Activating HSDPA 64 Users per Cell. See Baseband options in WCDMA RAN HSDPA in BTS for more information on the baseband options.

Select wanted code amounts with HS-PDSCH Code Set parameter.

If the 15 codes licence is present, there is an option of choosing from 5 to 15 codes.

The maximum number of codes that will be used depends on the highest value selected from the HS-PDSCH Code Set. If the highest value selected is 10 then the maximum number of codes used will be 10 codes. Values that are below the maximum value chosen from HS-PDSCH Code Set up to the maximum value chosen will be the number of codes that are available for use by the HSDPA Dynamic Resource Allocation feature when allocating codes.

Please notice that every cell where more than 10 codes is configured to HS-PDSCH code set needs license for 15 codes.

Also every cell where more than 5 codes but less than 11 codes is configured to HS-PDSCH code set needs at least license for 10 codes


The licence can be installed with NetAct or with a local MML interface.

60 DN0554882Issue 09C



RAN852: HSDPA 15 Codes



Use the ZW7M command to activate the license for the feature with the feature codes 620 and/or 621.

Steps


2 Open the RNC object and select PS tab > Miscallenous PS parameters > HSDPA dynamic resource allocation (HSDPADynamicResourceAllocation) parameter and set it to Enabled.

3 Check that the MaxBitRateNRTMACdflow parameter value is set for the desired HSDPA throughput.

4 Select the appropriate WCEL object.Lock the WCEL cell and open the object.

5 Select the AC tab and scroll down to the HS-PDSCH code set and select the required amount of codes.The number of codes that can be allocated depends on the licence options activated in the RNC.

If HSDPA 10 Codes is used, the recommended code set contains 5, 8, and 10 codes. If HSDPA 15 Codes is used, the recommended code set contains 5, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 15 codes.

6 Check the HS-PDSCH code upgrade margin for SF128 codes parameter (HSPDSCHMarginSF128). If feature RAN852: HSDPA 15 codes is being used, change the value to a value less than the default value of 8.When the first HS-DSCH MAC-d flow setup takes place in the cell, the highest value from the HS-PDSCH code set is taken into use.

The RNC chooses whether to use DL RLC PDU size 656 (bits) or 336 (bits) when feature RAN852: HSDPA 15 Codes is enabled. The RNC dynamically adjusts the HS-PDSCH codes from 5 to a maximum number according to the instantaneous traffic mix in the cell (DCH load) and BTS capability. HSDPA 10 codes licence is in use for that cell if the selected code values in the HS-PDSCH Code Set parameter are 10 or lower (selected codes range 5-10). If bigger code values than 10 are selected in the HS-PDSCH Code Set parameter, HSDPA 15 codes licence is needed for that cell. The operator can define the set of permitted HS-PDSCH codes.

HSDPA Features, Feature Activation Manual RAN852: HSDPA 15 Codes


Further informationThe operator must check and update the value of the MaxBitRateNRTMACdflow according to the active features. This parameter can be used to restrict the maximum data rate of one HSDPA user. Depending on whether this feature or feature RAN1249: HSDPA 10 Mbps per user is used, the operator can restrict the peak rate of one user and lower the value of this parameter.

10.2 Verifying HSDPA Code MultiplexingPurposeFollow the procedure below to verify the activation of feature RAN853: HSDPA Code Multiplexing.

Steps

1 If the M5000 HSPA in WBTS measurement is not active, start the RNW Measure-ment Management application in RNC Element Manager.For more information on starting measurements, see Sections Management of basic RNW measurements and Starting radio network measurements inManaging RNC mea-surements.

2 Make two or three simultaneous PS NRT calls (two calls for HSDPA 10 Codes and three calls for HSDPA 15 Codes) with UEs capable of using only 5 simultaneous codes (category 1-6, 11-12) and start a download for all of the UEs.

3 After the measurement data has been collected, use the RNW Measurement Pre-sentation application to check that the appropriate counters have been updated and have a value greater than zero.The counters indicate the number of users scheduled during each 2ms TTI in cells con-trolled by the MAC-hs Packet Scheduler. The feature is successfully enabled if any of following counters gives non-zero values:

• M5000C82 HSDPA USERS 2 IN TARGET CELL 0 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C83 HSDPA USERS 2 IN TARGET CELL 1 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C84 HSDPA USERS 3 IN TARGET CELL 0 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C158 HSDPA USERS 0 IN TARGET CELL 4 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C159 HSDPA USERS 0 IN TARGET CELL 5 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C160 HSDPA USERS 0 IN TARGET CELL 6 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C162 HSDPA USERS 1 IN TARGET CELL 4 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C163 HSDPA USERS 1 IN TARGET CELL 5 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C164 HSDPA USERS 1 IN TARGET CELL 6 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C165 HSDPA USERS 2 IN TARGET CELL 2 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C166 HSDPA USERS 2 IN TARGET CELL 3 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C167 HSDPA USERS 2 IN TARGET CELL 4 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C168 HSDPA USERS 2 IN TARGET CELL 5 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C169 HSDPA USERS 2 IN TARGET CELL 6 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C170 HSDPA USERS 3 IN TARGET CELL 1 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C171 HSDPA USERS 3 IN TARGET CELL 2 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C172 HSDPA USERS 3 IN TARGET CELL 3 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C173 HSDPA USERS 3 IN TARGET CELL 4 IN OTHER CELL • M5000C174 HSDPA USERS 3 IN TARGET CELL 5 IN OTHER CELL

Further informationFor more information on how to view measurement data, see RNC Measurement Pre-sentation.


Expected outcomeThe feature has been activated successfully if above conditions are met.

Unexpected outcomeEnsure the following:

• Confirm that the BTS is set up with scheduler that supports code multiplexing. Scheduler options are explained in Baseband options in WCDMA RAN HSDPA in BTS.

• Confirm that the cell has more than 5 HS-PDSCH codes and more than one HS-SCCH code. Confirm that Dynamic Resource Allocation and HSDPA 15 Codes features are enabled.

• Use five code UEs in the test or lower the data rates to get more users code multi-plexed. Especially with Shared HSDPA Scheduler for Baseband Efficiency, the scheduler prefers to select best user from each cell and only after that multiplex more. If these users can use all the resources (good radio conditions, abundant data and capable of high code amounts), there is no need for code multiplexing.

HSDPA Features, Feature Activation Manual RAN1099: Dynamic Scheduling for HSDPA with PathSelection


11 RAN1099: Dynamic Scheduling for HSDPA with Path Selection

11.1 Activating Dynamic Scheduling for HSDPA with Path SelectionPurposeFollow the procedure below to activate feature RAN1099: Dynamic Scheduling for HSDPA with Path Selection.

Before you startFeature RAN1099: Dynamic Scheduling for HSDPA with Path Selection belongs to the application software.

The basic HSDPA must be configured before this feature can be activated. For instruc-tions, see Activating Basic HSDPA with QPSK and 5 codes.

Ensure that you have a valid license. This feature is under license key management.

Before licensed features can be activated, the license (a file containing the feature infor-mation) must be transferred to and installed in the RNC. The license can be installed with NetAct or with a local MML interface. If NetAct is used for the installation, the state of any feature covered by the license is automatically set to ON. If the MML interface is used, the user must set the feature state (ON/OFF/CONFIG) explicitely. In new installa-tions, the default state is OFF. For more information on feature states, see Section Installing licences in the network element in Licence-based Feature Management.

The feature comprises two functionalities. First, it introduces an enhanced internal AAL2 flow control for HSDPA data, and secondly, it introduces a VCC bundling concept for the last mile protection.

The feature can be activated separately for each BTS. In RU10 the RAN1099 feature replaces the Feature RAN324: Dynamic HSDPA Transport Scheduling. Thus the used control method STATIC is no more available. In RNC upgrade the STATIC value is replaced with DYNAMIC regardless of the ATM service category. This means that the DYNAMIC flow control supports UBR+.

For activating Feature RAN759: Path Selection, see Activating Path Selection in Feature RAN759: Path Selection, Feature Activation Manual.

Dynamic Scheduling for HSDPA with Path Selection activation requires an RNC-specific capacity license. This means that the feature can be activated only for a limited number of BTSs.


The license is charged when a VCC carrying HSDPA traffic (HSDPA or HSPA VCC) is included in the VCC bundle.

Steps

1 Open the RNC RNW Object GUI.

2 Lock all the WCELs under the BTS.

70 DN0554882Issue 09C



RAN1099: Dynamic Scheduling for HSDPA with Path Selection

3 Ensure that a VCC carrying HSDPA traffic is included in the bundle and the Internal HSDPA flow control method for BTS parameter is set to Dynamic on CoCo objects.For an example configuration, see the following screenshot.

Figure 1 AAL2 User plane VCC

After the feature activation, the operator can configure the related parameters through NetAct or the RNC RNW Object Browser GUI.

4 Unlock all the WCELs under the BTS.

5 Repeat Step 3 for all BTSs where the feature is used.

11.2 Verifying Dynamic Scheduling for HSDPA with Path Selec-tionPurposeFollow the procedure below to verify the activation of feature RAN1099: Dynamic Scheduling for HSDPA with Path Selection.

Steps

1 Use the NE Measurement Explorer application in Application Launcher to start the 553/229H AAL2 Scheduling Performance in RNC measurement. Set the measure-ment interval to 15 minutes.For more information on starting measurements, see Sections Management of basic RNW measurements and Starting radio network measurements in Managing RNC mea-surements.

2 Use the RNW Measurement Management application in Application Launcher to start the M1017 Radio Connection Performance Measurements RLC (RCPM RLC) measurement. Set the measurement interval to 15 minutes.

3 Exclude the HSDPA VCC from the bundle and set Internal HSDPA Flow Control Method for BTS toNone.

4 Make several HSDPA calls and start simultaneous FTP downloads.

5 After the downloads have been completed, disconnect the calls.

6 Wait for the measurement period to end, then view the results of the measure-ments.Use the NE Measurement Explorer for the 553/229H AAL2 Scheduling Performance in the RNC measurement and the RNW Measurement Management application to view the results of the M1017 RCPM RLC measurement.

7 Save the results.

8 Set Internal HSDPA Flow Control Method for BTS to Dynamic and repeat steps 4 to 7.

9 Compare the results.

Expected outcomeWhen feature RAN1099: Dynamic HSDPA Scheduling with Path Selection is used, the FTP throughput is more stable and not so many RLC retransmissions and AAL2 Drop events are visible. The AAL2 Down/Up counters indicate that the flow control mecha-nism is working.

11.3 Deactivating Dynamic Scheduling for HSDPA with Path SelectionPurposeFollow the procedure below to deactivate feature RAN1099: Dynamic Scheduling for HSDPA with Path Selection.

Steps

1 Ensure that the Internal HSDPA flow control method for BTS parameter is set to None on CoCo objects.

2 Recreate the CoCo object.The CoCo object must be recreated because the scheduling method used affects the length of the AAL2 queue, and the queue length can be set only when the CoCo object is created. Without CoCo object recreation, the features are not turned off even if the value is changed.
