3D Beamforming (FDD) Feature Parameter
Description 3 Overview

3 Overview

The amount of traffic in densely populated urban areas has been increasing.
Capacity requirements over the next few years are predicted to increase three to
six fold. This expected demand for increased capacity means that the spectrum
resources in the 1.8 GHz to 2.6 GHz bands are likely to become more valuable
than ever and they should be fully utilized.

This feature uses active antenna units (AAUs) or remote radio units (RRUs) to
provide Static Shared Beam (SSB) and Dynamic Dedicated Beam (DDB) functions.
If multiple carriers are configured on the same AAU or RRU, it is recommended
that they all use the same function: SSB or DDB.
● SSB generates two beams on the horizontal plane to serve two cells at each
8T8R AAU, as shown in Figure 3-1.

Figure 3-1 SSB

● DDB sets up an 8T8R cell to provide dedicated traffic beams for multiple UEs
simultaneously, as shown in Figure 3-2.

3D Beamforming (FDD) Feature Parameter
Description 4 SSB

4 SSB

4.1 Principles
SSB splits one cell on an AAU into two 2T2R or 4T4R cells on the horizontal plane.
The two cells operate on the same frequency. SSB expands capacity at hotspots. It
is an option for operators that require more capacity but do not have additional
frequencies available.

4.2 Network Analysis


4.2.1 Benefits
System capacity increases considerably in urban areas where there is contiguous
coverage. In each 2T2R cell served by an eNodeB with a 3-sector configuration,
using SSB increases downlink cell traffic volume. When LOFD-001001 DL 2x2
MIMO, LOFD-001003 DL 4x2 MIMO, and LOFD-001005 UL 4-Antenna Receive
Diversity are all enabled, the capacity can be increased by 50% to 70% for
reconstruction into 2T6S or by 70% to 100% for reconstruction into 4T6S.
The increases are closely related to cell loads and whether the cells using SSB
provide contiguous coverage. The gains of SSB are higher if the cell load is higher,
cell coverage is more contiguous, and the percentage of UEs in each cell is closer
to 50%.
It is recommended that SSB be used when specific conditions are all met, whereas
DDB be used when any of these conditions is not fulfilled. When any of these
conditions is not fulfilled, SSB offers a smaller amount of gains than expected but
does not have a negative impact. The conditions are as follows:
● The busy-hour downlink PRB usage is high (for example, above 70%).
● The left- and right-cell loads are relatively balanced (for example, the left-to-
right cell load ratio is less than 7:3).
● The azimuth between the target sector for SSB and its adjacent sectors is
large (for example, greater than 90°) before SSB is used.
● The penetration rate of UEs that support transmission mode 9 (TM9) is low
(for example, lower than 50%).

4.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
● User-perceived downlink throughput
In 2T2R cells served by an eNodeB with a 3-sector configuration, using SSB
may decrease user-perceived throughput during idle periods (for example,
when the PRB usage is less than 20%) or when the left- and right-cell loads
are imbalanced.
● Other network performance indicators
For an eNodeB with a 2T2R 3-sector configuration, using SSB increases the
number of cells but decreases the SINR. Using SSB may result in a lower
handover success rate, more RRC connection reestablishments, and a higher
service drop rate than the performance indicators before SSB is used.

4.3.3 Hardware

Base Station Models


3900 and 5900 series base stations are compatible with this function.

Boards
The BBPs must be UBBPe4/UBBPe6/UBBPg. When passive ports are used for 4T6S
reconstruction from a 3-sector eNodeB equipped with combined 2T2R or 4T4R
RRUs, the left and right cells must be bound to a UBBPe4, UBBPe6, or UBBPg
board. Otherwise, channel calibration cannot be performed.

RF Modules
SSB requires a specific model of AAUs working in the 1.8 GHz, 2.1 GHz, or 2.6 GHz
band.

AAUs of this specific model in the 1.8 GHz band contain both radio and antenna
modules. Power supplies must be directly connected to the AAUs, and those AAUs
must be connected to the BBUs of the eNodeBs through CPRI optical cables. The
AAUs in other bands contain only antenna modules. They must be connected to
external radio units. These AAUs supply power to the radio units, which are then
connected to BBUs through CPRI optical cables. AISG cables do not need to be
connected to the AAUs.

Typically, each eNodeB requires three AAUs, each of which will serve a pair of cells
for SSB. Therefore, each eNodeB will serve a total of six cells.

When AAUs of that specific model are used, the power per channel for each pair
of cells must be configured to meet the following requirements:
● For AAUs in the 1.8 GHz band, the power configuration for a 20 MHz cell is
with CRS power set at 16.9 dBm, PA at –3, and PB at 1.
● For AAUs in the 2.1 GHz or 2.6 GHz band, the power configuration for a 20
MHz cell is with CRS power set at 18.2 dBm, PA at –3, and PB at 1.

4.3.4 Networking
For each eNodeB, three cells will be replaced with six cells corresponding to the
beams on the horizontal plane, with each cell covering a 60-degree arc, as
illustrated in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1 Network changes

To adapt to this change, the following network configurations must be re-planned:


● Neighboring cells
Increasing the number of cells results in more neighbor relationships. If the
total number of neighbor relationships for each cell reaches the maximum
allowed, the existing neighbor relationships will require re-planning.
● Physical random access channel (PRACH) root sequence indexes and physical
cell identifiers (PCIs)
Increasing the number of cells causes PCIs to be reused more frequently.
PRACH root sequence indexes change and the distance between cells reusing
PCIs decreases. As a result, PRACH root sequence index conflicts and PCI
conflicts are more likely, calling for re-planning of PRACH root sequence
indexes and PCIs.

When re-planning these configurations, operators should also consider the


reference signal (RS) power per port before and after SSB is enabled:
● If the RS power remains relatively stable, SSB has little impact on network
planning. Network planning can then focus on neighboring cells, PRACH root
sequence indexes, and PCIs.
● If the RS power decreases, network planning and optimization should
consider the RS power and the PA and PB settings.

● The following is an example of MML commands for SSB at passive ports on
an AAU that is used to transform a 3-sector eNodeB with 2T2R cells into a
2T6S eNodeB. On 8T8R AAUs, passive ports are always used together with
active ports. Therefore, by default, the cabinet, subrack, and slot numbers of

NOTE

When passive ports are used for 4T6S, active- and passive-port channel calibration can
be started only if calibration is enabled for both of the cells that are generated using
SSB.
When passive ports are used for 4T6S reconstruction from a 3-sector eNodeB
equipped with combined 2T2R or 4T4R RRUs, the left and right cells must be bound to
a UBBPe4, UBBPe6, or UBBPg board. Otherwise, channel calibration cannot be
performed.

Run the DSP CELL command. If the two cells are available, SSB has taken effect.

4.4.3 Network Monitoring


● Cell traffic volume increases.
Calculate the percent increase in traffic volume when PRB usage remains
unchanged. You are advised to observe this increase using a scatter chart, as
shown in Figure 4-2.
Traffic volume in the original cell = L.Thrp.bits.DL
Traffic volume after SSB is used = Sum of the L.Thrp.bits.DL counter values
for the pair of cells

Figure 4-2 Example scatter chart of PRB usage and traffic volume

● Average UE throughput increases.


Calculate the percent increase in User Downlink Average Throughput with
cell traffic volume held constant. You are advised to observe this increase
using a scatter chart.
Average UE throughput in the original cell = (L.Thrp.bits.DL –
L.Thrp.bits.DL.LastTTI)/L.Thrp.Time.DL.RmvLastTTI
Average UE throughput after SSB is used = (Sum of the L.Thrp.bits.DL
counter values for the pair of cells – Sum of the L.Thrp.bits.DL.LastTTI
counter values for the pair of cells)/Sum of the L.Thrp.Time.DL.RmvLastTTI
counter values for the pair of cells
● Other aspects
– The average downlink PRB usage of a single cell may decrease, while the
eNodeB traffic volume increases.
– Increasing the number of cells results in more cell edge areas and
therefore more handovers. The handover success rate may decrease, but
the number of RRC connection reestablishments and the service drop rate
may increase.

3D Beamforming (FDD) Feature Parameter
Description 5 DDB

5 DDB

5.1 Principles
DDB generates one or more 8T8R cells on an AAU or RRU. The cell bandwidth is
at least 5 MHz. In the uplink, 8-antenna receive diversity is available for all UEs in
the cells. In the downlink, the available functions depend on UE capabilities:
● For UEs not configured with TM9:
– If two CRS ports are configured, downlink 2x2 or 4x2 MIMO is available.
– If four CRS ports are configured, downlink 4x2 or 4x4 MIMO is available.
● For UEs configured with TM9 and capable of 8- or 4-port TM9, the available
functions vary depending on the TM9Switch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.EnhMIMOSwitch parameter. If this option is deselected, the
available functions are the same as those for UEs not configured with TM9. If
this option is selected, the available functions are as follows:
– If the 8T4PortTM9EnhanceSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.EnhMIMOSwitch parameter is selected and one of the
following conditions is met, CSI-RSs are sent from eight ports to 8-port
TM9-capable UEs and from four ports to 4-port TM9-capable UEs. In
addition, single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO) using 8T in TM9 is available.
Otherwise, the available functions are the same as those for UEs not
configured with TM9.

▪ The CellCsiRsParaCfg.CsiRsSwitch parameter is set to FIXED_CFG.

▪ The CellCsiRsParaCfg.CsiRsSwitch parameter is set to


ADAPTIVE_CFG, and the proportion of PRBs used to schedule 8-port
TM9-capable UEs and 4-port TM9-capable UEs in the cell exceeds
the value of the CellMimoParaCfg.PrbRatioThldForTm9SuMimo
parameter.
– If the 8T4PortTM9EnhanceSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.EnhMIMOSwitch parameter is deselected and one of the
following conditions is met, CSI-RSs are sent from eight ports to 8-port
TM9-capable UEs. In addition, SU-MIMO using 8T in TM9 is available.
Otherwise, the available functions are the same as those for UEs not
configured with TM9.

– If the 8T_TM9_MU-MIMO_SW option of the

(MU-MIMO) using 8T in TM9 is available. UEs engaged in 8T- and TM9-

following conditions are met:

▪ The modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index used for each of
the UEs is larger than the value of the
CellMimoParaCfg.MuPairingMcsThldForTm9 parameter.

▪ The gains of MU-MIMO over SU-MIMO would exceed the value of


the CellMimoParaCfg.MuPairingGainThldForTm9 parameter.

5.2 Network Analysis

5.2.1 Benefits
System capacity increases considerably in urban areas where there is contiguous
coverage. In each 2T2R cell served by an eNodeB with a 3-sector configuration,
using DDB increases the average downlink cell traffic volume by 70%–120% and
increases the average downlink UE throughput also by 40%–70%. These figures
assume that there is a 100% penetration rate of UEs capable of 8-port TM9 and
that LOFD-001003 DL 4x2 MIMO and LOFD-001005 UL 4-Antenna Receive
Diversity are both enabled. In a cell with only TM4 enabled, using DDB increases
the average downlink cell throughput by 20%–40%.
The gains provided by DDB for 4-port TM9-capable UEs are only 90% of the gains
for 8-port TM9-capable UEs, as the CSI feedback capabilities of 4-port TM9-
capable UEs are lower than those of 8-port TM9-capable UEs.
The benefits are most noticeable when specific conditions are all met. When any
of these conditions is not fulfilled, this function offers a smaller amount of gains
than expected but does not have a negative impact. The conditions are as follows:
● The 8T8R cells provide contiguous coverage.
● UEs are distributed evenly within the cells.
● There is a high percentage of large-packet services in the cells.
● Cell channel quality is stable.
This function is suitable for high-traffic scenarios in urban areas. It is
recommended when the penetration rate of TM9-capable UEs is high (for
example, over 50%) or when SSB is not suitable for use. You can use the
L.Traffic.User.TM9Capability.Avg counter as a reference for the TM9-capable UE
penetration rate.
Uplink 8-antenna receive diversity in 8T8R cells offers the following benefits over
uplink 2-antenna receive diversity.

Gains Impact Factor

The average uplink UE throughput For a single UE, the farther away it is
increases by 10% to 70%. from the cell center, the higher the
gains are.
For a cell, the more UEs far away from
the eNodeB there are, the higher the
gains.

The recommended CRS port configuration varies depending on the TM9


penetration rate.
● If the TM9 penetration rate is low, 4-port configuration is recommended. Most
UEs, which do not support TM9, can enjoy gains in User Downlink Average
Throughput.
● If the TM9 penetration rate is high, 2-port configuration is recommended.
Compared with the 4-port configuration, the 2-port configuration does not
change the cell coverage. It enables more resource elements (REs) to be
available for data traffic of TM9 UEs. Therefore, the 2-port configuration
results in an increase of about 6% in TM9 UE throughput.

5.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
Downlink SU-MIMO or MU-MIMO in TM9 takes effect when the DDB function is
used. The overhead for precoding matrix indication (PMI) reporting increases,
causing the following to occur:
● Interference on the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) increases.
● Interference on the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) increases.
● The residual block error rate (RBLER) of the PUSCH slightly increases,
resulting in a slight increase in the packet loss rate for voice users.
● CPU usage increases. The service drop rate slightly rises when CPU usage is
high.
● TM9-incapable UEs experience performance deterioration because of periodic
CSI-RS transmission in the cell when TM9 takes effect. The level of the
deterioration depends on the TM9-capable UE penetration rate and the CSI-
RS period.
In addition, as downlink MU-MIMO in TM9 takes effect, more PDCCH symbols are
used in the downlink. As a result, the failure rate of uplink grant assignments over
the PDCCH increases, and the average uplink UE throughput may decrease by at
most 5%.

CPRI optical cables. The AAUs in other bands contain only antenna modules. They
must be connected to external radio units. These AAUs supply power to the radio
units, which are then connected to BBUs through CPRI optical cables. For details
about how to install AAU5972 units, see AAU5972 Installation Guide.
When AAU5972 units, 2.1 GHz or 2.6 GHz 4T4R RRUs, or AAUs of that specific
model are used, the maximum power per channel must be configured to meet the
following requirements:
● For AAU5972 units in the 1.8 GHz band, the power must not exceed 47.7
dBm. (The maximum power configuration is 4 x 60 W, for example, with CRS
power set at 19.9 dBm, PA at –3, and PB at 1 for a 20 MHz cell.)
● For AAU5972 units in other bands, the power must not exceed 49 dBm. (The
maximum power configuration is 4 x 80 W, for example, with CRS power set
at 21.2 dBm, PA at –3, and PB at 1 for a 20 MHz cell.)

always used together with active ports. Therefore, by default, the cabinet, subrack,
and slot numbers of the RF modules that control RET antennas and RVDs are set
to the cabinet, subrack, and slot numbers of the AAUs that provide active ports.
