subchannels (PUSC) with all subchannels mode when the bandwidth is 10 MHz. 70% of

the active MSs are configured with one pair of best effort (BE) service flows and theremaining 30% with one pair of BE service flows and one pair of extended real-time

 polling service (ertPS) flows.

  The long-term evolution baseband processing unit version c (LBBPc) has been added inDBS3900 WiMAX V300R003C01. Each LBBPc serves a maximum of 256 active MSs

for each sector carrier in PUSC with all subchannels mode when the bandwidth is 10

MHz. 70% of the active MSs are configured with one pair of BE service flows, and theremaining 30% with one pair of BE service flows and one pair of ertPS service flows.

  A notification message is displayed when you attempt to modify acold parameter. After a cold parameter is modified, you must block

carriers for the modification to take effect.

Jitter information

collection and

graphical display

You can collect network latency and jitter information based on the

IEEE P1588 protocol and view collected information in real time on

the GUI.Only the BTS3702C and BTS3701B support this function.

Alarm correlation This function decreases the number of alarms that are reported. It also

enables you to identify the root causes of alarms, which facilitatesalarm clearance.

Control overLMT-basedmanual alarm

clearance

You can run an MML command to disable LMT-based manual alarmclearance. This prevents site engineers from manually clearing thesealarms.

Engineering

quality self-check

The Web LMT provides the engineering quality self-check as a

routine health check item. This self-check consists of subitemsrelated to engineering quality, including global positioning system(GPS) satellite locking, antenna standing-wave ratio (SWR), and

optical port power. The check results indicate whether a BS passesthe check and also contain check criteria and related MML command

execution results. This facilitates fault analysis and location.

Upgrade efficiency

improvement and

upgrade rollback

BS software packages are compressed more efficiently. As a result,

downloaded and activated more quickly.

Version rollback can be performed if necessary after a hot patch isinstalled.

3 Impacts of V300R003C01 Functions onV300R003C00

3.1 Enhanced Multi-Carrier Load Balancing

3.1.1 Description

Multi-carrier load balancing is supported in versions earlier than V300R003C01. In

V300R003C01, due to the differences of network coverage between carriers, this function is

optimized as follows:

  Load balancing handovers from an outer carrier to an inner carrier are supported. The

thresholds for starting and stopping this type of handover are lower than those forstarting and stopping the original load balancing handovers. MSs are highly likely to

enter the network over an outer carrier with optimal signal quality. If this happens, theouter carrier load is heavy. This function decreases the load on the outer carrier, andimproves the network entry success rate.

  The existing algorithms for load balancing handovers and BE satisfaction balancing

handovers are optimized. Now, cell edge MSs can be handed over to neighboring sectorsand central MSs to other carriers in the same sector.

The algorithm optimization ensures that load balancing handovers are performed in a

timely manner. It also improves the handover success rate and balances loads and BEsatisfaction across carriers on a multi-carrier network.

3.1.2 Capacity and Performance

System Capacity

Enhanced multi-carrier load balancing ensures that loads and BE satisfaction are balanced

among carriers on a multi-carrier network, BSs can serve more MSs and carry more service

flows as a result as well.

Network Performance

The possibility of BS overloads decreases, and the network entry success rate increases.

3.2 UL EFFR

3.2.1 Description

UL EFFR is a fractional frequency reuse (FFR) technology used in the frequency domain. Itensures that the frequency reuse coefficient for the edge band is close to 3, and allows MSs atthe central band to use all of the frequency resources. This expands network coverage andimproves sector capacity. In V300R003C00, UL EFFR is known as inter-cell interference

coordination (ICIC), and the extended band is not used.

In V300R003C01, UL EFFR allows the use of the extended band.

In V300R003C01, the first zone in a UL subframe is a PUSC with all subchannels zone. It is

divided into a UL common band and a UL extended band. The UL common band occupies thesame sub-band as the edge band in the second zone, and the extended band occupies the same

sub-band as the central band in the second zone. MSs can be scheduled for the extended bandto improve UL spectral efficiency.

Figure 3-1Figure 3-1 shows UL EFFR that uses extended bands.

Figure 3-1 UL EFFR that uses extended bands

3.2.2 Capacity and Performance

System Capacity

BS UL throughput increases.

Network Performance

Scheduling MSs for the extended band increases interference on UL common bands inneighboring sectors at the same frequency band, but does not affect ranging check, channelquality indication channel (CQICH) performance, and acknowledgment (ACK) channel

 performance.

Fault Management

There is no impact on fault management.

3.2.6 Other NEsThe MS must support the division of a UL subframe into two zones. If the first UL zone is a

PUSC with all subchannels zone, the MS must automatically identify and skip the common

 band, or the MS allows the BS to specify the start of the extended band using OFDMA

symbol offset and Subchannel offset in the UL Allocation Start IE or HARQ UL-MAP IE. 

3.2.7 Other Features

UL EFFR and UL CSM cannot be in the active state simultaneously, but UL EFFR and ULSDMA can.

3.3 DL EFFR

3.3.1 Description

DL EFFR is a key technology in intra-frequency networking mode. When DL EFFR is

enabled, sector coverage is close to that in PUSC with 1/3 subchannels mode, andtime-frequency resources are effectively used. This improves spectral efficiency.

Similar to DL FFR, DL EFFR divides a subframe into a PUSC with partial subchannels zone

and a PUSC with all subchannels zone. The PUSC with partial subchannels zone can be aPUSC with 1/2 subchannels zone or a PUSC with 1/3 subchannels zone. The PUSC with all

subchannels zone has a fixed boundary, and all sectors are aligned along the boundary. Thisreduces interference between the edge areas of neighboring sectors.

In the PUSC with partial subchannels zone, subchannel power is high. Subchannels in PUSCwith partial subchannels zones in neighboring sectors do not overlap. This type of zone servescell edge MSs on the UL common channel.

In the PUSC with all subchannels zone, subchannel power is low. This type of zone serves

cell center MSs. Figure 3-2 shows the subframe structure.

Figure 3-2 Subframe structure

In V300R003C01, MSs are scheduled between zones to maximize modulation order productcode rates (MPRs) and improve BS spectral efficiency. MS scheduling between zones can be

triggered based on BE satisfaction to improve average BE satisfaction in a BS.

When DL EFFR is enabled, MS switches between beamforming mode and MIMO

B+beamforming mode are optimized.

3.4 UL SDMA

3.4.1 Description

When UL SDMA is enabled, the spatial multiplexing technology allows multiple MSs to usethe same UL time-frequency resources. This increases UL throughput over the air interface.

The BS allows single-transmit-antenna MSs to use SDMA in the UL PUSC zone. The BSselects the MSs based on the measurement results on the physical layer (PHY) and the

information reported by the MSs.

SDMA gain is obtained by multiplexing UL time-frequency resources, as shown in Figure3-3.

Figure 3-3 UL SDMA gain principle

As shown in Figure 3-3, Layer 1 and Layer 2 belong to the same time-frequency resource set,

the amount of resources occupied by MS 1 and MS 2 are equal to that of resources occupied by MS 3. The pilot structure of MS 1 and MS 2 does not overlap with that of MS 3, and the

BS demodulates data sent from two MSs based on the pilot structure. This increases UL

throughput.

3.5 Interference Countermeasures

3.5.1 Description

TDD interference occurs between two distant BSs when the latency exceeds the transmit

transition gap (TTG).To prevent TDD interference, interference countermeasures are introduced and BSs performthe following operations:

1.  Measures the NI of the UL common band to detect interference.

2.  Reports an alarm if interference is detected.

3.  Scans the preamble to locate interference sources.

4.  Reserves the last symbols of the DL frame to cancel interference between BSs, orconfigures a safety zone in the front of the UL common band to prevent interference.

3.6 DL Power Control

3.6.1 Description

When DL power control is enabled, a lower-level MCS is used and the DL transmit power ofsome MSs is decreased to reduce intra-frequency interference between BSs without affectingthe MS quality of service (QoS) performance.

To maintain sector throughput, MCS levels can be reduced only when the DL load is light.

3.6.7 Other Features

DL power control is not effective in the PUSC with partial subchannels zone.

3.7 MCS Level Selection Optimized When IRC Is Enabled

3.7.1 Description

When IRC is enabled, the BS measures the post-processing carrier-to-interference-and-noiseratio (CINR) after the pre-processing CINR measurement. The pre-processing CINR is

obtained at the baseband antenna port after linear combination, and the post-processing CINR

is obtained after maximum ratio combining (MRC) or IRC self-adaptation.In versions earlier than V300R003C01, only the pre-processing CINR is used to determine

MCS levels. As a result, the CINR does not improve after IRC is enabled.

In V300R003C01, the BS dynamically determines the UL receiving mode based on pre-processing and post-processing CINRs on the MS. This maximizes UL link spectral

efficiency.

This function defines three UL receiving modes:

  Single-stream mode: CSM and SDMA are disabled, and the BS determines the MCSlevel based on the pre-processing CINR. This ensures link reliability and normal service

running when the radio conditions are poor.

  Single-stream enhanced mode: CSM and SDMA are disabled, and the BS determines theMCS level based on the post-processing CINR. Compared with single-stream mode, this

mode improves spectral efficiency and link availability when there is interference.

  CSM-SDMA mode: CSM or SDMA is enabled, and space multiplexing is used. This

mode uses the pre-processing CINR to determine the MCS level. Compared withsingle-stream mode, CSM-SDMA mode doubles spectral efficiency in optimal channel

conditions.

The BS selects the UL receiving mode that can maximize spectral efficiency.

3.8 UL SBC-REQ Coverage Optimized

3.8.1 Description

The SBC-REQ message used during MS network entry is large in size, and cannot besegmented. Three subchannels are used to transmit the SBC-REQ message, which increases

the possibility of transmission failures. This decreases UL network coverage and reduces thenetwork entry success rate.

In V300R003C01, a BS sends an MS the SBC-RSP message containing the minimumcapability set attribute if it does not receive an SBC-REQ message from the MS. This helps

expand BS coverage.

3.9 Air Interface Synchronization Clock System

3.9.1 Description

This function is applicable to indoor coverage where Global Positioning System (GPS) clock

synchronization usually fails due to weak indoor GPS signals. Preamble signals travel over a

longer distance than broadcast signals and service signals do in a WiMAX BS. The airinterface synchronization clock system enables a BS to demodulate preamble signals sent

from neighboring BSs to obtain a synchronization clock source. Then, the BS synchronizes itstime and frequency with those of a neighboring BS. This function achieves clock

synchronization in indoor coverage at a low cost.

3.9.2 Capacity and Performance

3.11 Beamforming Optimized

3.11.1 Description

In V300R003C01, beamforming is optimized as follows:

  Use of CQICH-based weight estimation algorithm: Compared with the pilot-based beamforming weight estimation algorithm, the CQICH-based weight estimation

algorithm provides high precision, optimal interference suppression, and no additional

overhead for the UL bandwidth.

  Restriction on MS scheduling for the space time coding (STC) zone: The statistic resultsfrom beamforming commercial sites indicate that some MSs supporting dedicated pilots

(DPs) fail to meet beamforming requirements and are scheduled for the STC zone. As aresult, resources are wasted in the STC zone.

In V300R003C01, only a few MSs can be scheduled for the STC zone, and themechanism for detecting idle MSs in the dedicated pilot zone is optimized.
