Licensing The application software features (ASW) are unde r license key management. A license is a file that includes the feature information. Before a licensed feature can be activated, the license file needs to be transferred to and installed in the network element. For information on transferring the license, see License Management Operations in RNC in WCDMA RAN License Operation. For information on installing the license, see Installing licenses in the network element in Managing License-based Features.

g

Some RNC-controlled features are activated using an RNC general parameter file (PRFILE) or a feature information control file (FIFI LE). For details, see Parameter-based Option Management in WCDMA RAN License Operation. A license can be installed using NetAct or a local MML (IPA-RNC) or SCLI (mcRNC) interface. If it is installed using NetAct, the licensed feature state is automatically set to ON state. If the MML/SCLI interface is used, the default value is OFF, and you need to set the feature to ON state manually. For information on feature states, see Feature States in WCDMA RAN License Operation. The license-related MML commands are described in W7 - License and Feature Handling.

Activating Power Saving Mode for BTS Purpose

Follow the procedure below to activate the RAN955: Power Saving Mode for BTS feature. For more information on the feature, see the RAN955: Power Saving Mode Feature Description in WCDMA RAN, Rel. RU20, Feature Descriptions. Before you start

This feature belongs to application software. Ensure that you have a val id license (a file including the information), because this feature is under license key management. For information on managing licenses, see Licensing. The feature code for this feature is 1459. Before a license feature can be activated, the license must be transferred to and installed in the RNC . The license can be installed by using NetAct or a local MML interface. If the installation is done with NetAct, the feature covered by the license is automatically set to the ON state. I f the installation is done with an MML interface, the feature state (ON/CONFIG/OFF) must be set by the user. In new installations, the default state is OFF. Installing of new increment does the change the previously set state it remains the default. The parameters for this feature can be configured with the RNC RNW Object Browser GUI. The Power Saving Mode feature can be activated on BTS o nly if the BTS is either Flexi BTS or Ultra BTS with software release WBTS6.0 onwards. Ensur e that the O&M DCN link status is set to “Enabled”(check in RNC RNW Object Browser in WCDMA BTS object). Preconditions:

To activate HSPA05 reconfiguration the following criteria must be fulfilled: •

The BTS has cells on exactly two frequencies

• All cells in the BTS belong to the same Power Saving Mode cell group. The value of the PWSMCellGroup parameter is different from zero • All cells of the BTS belong to the same Local Cell Group •

•

• •

Every non-remaining cell in one frequency has PWSMShutdownOrder parameter value set to “1” and the PowerSaveHSPAType parameter in all these cells is set to “HSPA5” Every remaining cell in one frequency have all PWSMShutdownOrder parameter value set to “0” and the PowerSaveHSPAType parameter in all these cells is set to “HSPA0” The HSDPA is enabled in all cells in the BTS (HSDPAenabled parameter has value set to “Enabled” in all cells in the BTS) The remaining cells are not allowed to be shutdown ( PWSMShutdownRemCell parameter value in all remaining cells is set to “No”).

•

DCN is working and WBTS type is FlexiBTS.

•

Licence is installed in RNC.

If one or more criterias are not fulfilled, then HSPA05 reconfiguration is not ne eded, the cell shutdown decision is based on other cell shutdown criteria. If a need for HSPA05

reconfiguration is detected, the HSPA0 cells are to be reconfigurated to HSPA5 cells, and the HSPA5 cells are to be reconfigurated to HSPA0 cells before shutdown. Instructions to network operator Power Saving Mode instructions: •

The usage of gradual power ramp-down in Cell Deletion procedure is recommended. During gradual common pilot channel ( CPICH ) power ramp-down, the UE initiates a soft handover branch removal. Also, during or after gradual CPICH power ramp-down the RNC detects a need for handover (inter-frequency or inter-system handover) and starts the procedure.

•

The gradual power ramp-down is the basis of the UE mana gement in Cell Deletion procedure, and therefore it is recommended. After CPICH power decrease, RNC performs forced inter-frequency handover for the remaining UEs. When the gradual CPICH power ramp-down is used, the success rate of branch removals and interfrequency/inter-system handovers is increased (the number of lost calls during cell shutdown is smaller because of the RNC capability to handle simultaneous inter-frequency/inter-system handovers). Also, the number of remaining UEs in a cell is lower.

•

The following features are recommended to b e in use in the RNC, as they help balancing the traffic between cells after shutdown and after activation: •

Service and Load Based Handover

•

Direct RRC Connection Setup

•

HSPA Capability Based Handover.

•

The multi-operator RAN (MORAN ) needs to be taken into consideration according to the definitions of the feature management parameters, the MORAN network operators have to define the PWSMCellGroup and PWSMShutdownOrder parameters correctly. The RNC does not verify the MORAN definitions in Power Saving Mode.

•

If the operator's actions lead to the situation when Power Saving Mode e nvironment is not according to Power Saving Mode concept, the network can turn off the P ower Saving Mode feature in BTS by the PWSMInUse parameter. For example if both a non-remaining cell and a remaining cell in Power Saving Mode two-cell group are shut down and the operator deletes the r emaining cell from RNC, the non-remaining cell cannot be activated for traffic by means of Power Saving Mode.

HSPA05 reconfiguration instructions:

32

•

The HSPA05 reconfiguration (resource swapping in BTS) can be made only between cells belonging to the same Local Cell Group (LCG). Therefore, the network operator has to take the LCG - cell mapping into conside ration when setting the PWSMCellGroup and PowerSaveHSPAType parameters.

•

The cells controlled by the shared M AC high speed entity are selected with the RNC Tcell parameter (Frame timing offset of a cell). BTS maps the cells that belong to the same Tcell group to the same MAC high speed entity. This rule applies only for shared schedulers.

•

The cell and Tcell mapping have to be defined correctly by network operator ,so that the MAC high speed entity in HSPA0 - HSPA5 reconfiguration i s made correctly (the HSPA5 and HSPA0 cells using same scheduler are defined to the same Tcell group).

•

The network operator should take also into consideration the BTS HW units (that is Rel1 and Rel2 system modules) in HSPA. In Flexi BTS the Rel2 system module supports HSPA+ functionalities and Rel1 system module does not. If the HSPA05


DN0988674


reconfiguration is made between different system module releases, some of the HSPA functionalities might not be available. •

For working HSPA0 and HSPA5 conf iguration and reconfiguration, all cells need to be assigned to the same Power Saving Mode cell group.

•

The parameter HSDPAenabled has to be set to value “Enabled” in both HSPA 5 and HSPA0 cells if HSPA05 reconfiguration is to be used.

•

In cell setup the HSDPA is not to be configured to a cell with PowerSaveHSPAType parameter value set to “HSPA0”, even if the HSDPAenabled parameter is set to value “Enabled”. The activation status o f Power Saving Mode for BTS feature is not relevant.

•

When HSUPA services are to be used, the HSUPAenabled parameter has to be set to value “Enabled” in both HSPA5 and HSPA0 cells if HSPA05 reconfiguration is to be used

Steps

Check the RNC time setting.

For RNC use the MML command: ZDCD For mcRNC/ADA use the sCLI command: show networking-service ntp

Open the RNC RNW Object Browser GUI.

Configure WBTS object.

Set the non-remaining cell shutdown start time by configuring the PWSMShutdownBeginHour and the PWSMShutdownBeginMin parameters. Set the non-remaining cell shutdown end time by configuring the PWSMShutdownEndHour and the PWSMShutdownEndMin parameters and ensure that current RNC time is within this shutdown duration. Set the remaining cell shutdown start time by configuring the PWSMRemCellSDBeginHour and the PWSMRemCellSDBeginMin parameters. Set the remaining cell shutdown end time by configuring the PWSMRemCellSDEndHour and the PWSMRemCellSDEndMin parameters. Set the remaining cell shutdown day by configuring the PWSMWeekday parameter.

Configure WCEL object.

g

To meet the HSPA5 criteria, the BTS has cells on exactly two frequencies. To meet the shutdown criteria, two different cells with different frequencies cannot be assigned to the same shutdown order.

g

Please note, that before configuring the PowerSaveHSPAType parameter, the related WCEL object needs be locked. Set two cells with the same frequency as remaining cells, by configuring the PWSMShutdownOrder parameter to value "0", and set the PowerSaveHSPAType parameter to value "HSPA0".

DN0988674


33


Set the third cell as a non-remaining cell, by configuring the PWSMShutdownOrder parameter to value "1", and set the PowerSaveHSPAType parameter to value "HSPA5". Configure the PWSMShutdownReCell parameter to value “No” to avoid the remaining cell shutdown.

Configure BTS object.

Set the PWSMinUse parameter to value “ON”.

Cell shutdown

When cell does not have any emergency calls or Wireless Priority Service calls, and if the cell 3 traffic is low and it fullfils the shutdown criteria, then after five minutes cell 3 shutdown is to be performed. HSPA05 reconfiguration is triggered, cell 3 reconfiguration to HSPA0 and cells 1 and 2 reconfiguration to HSPA5 is performed. Expected outcome

RAN955: Power Saving Mode for BTS feature is activated in the RNC. Further information

Follow the procedure below to activate the RAN1202: 24 kbps paging channel feature in the RNC, using RNC object br owser. For more information on the feature, see RAN1202: 24 kbps paging channel in WCDMA RAN, rel. RU20, feature descriptions . Before you start

Restart of the RNC and the WBTS is not required after activation of this feature. This feature belongs to application software and is under license key management. Make sure you have a valid license (a file including the feature information) installed. For more information see section Licensing. To set the feature state to ON use the following command: For IPA-RNC, use the MML command: ZW7M:FEA=1485:ON ; For mcRNC, use the SCLI command: set license feature-mgmt id 0000001485 feature-admin-state on

g

I-HSPA Adapter is not under license control, therefore no MBLB license is needed for these products. With RAN1202: 24 kbps paging channel feature, the PCH has to be mapped to a separate. This means that when 24kbps PCH is activated (licensed and enabled), t here must be at least two secondary common control physical channels (SCCPCH) supported in the cell (the maximum number of SCCPCHs per cell is 3).The number of SCCPCHs in a cell is defined by the cell level NbrOfSCCPCHs parameter. With the activation of 24 kbps PCH, the minimum value of NbrOfSCCPCHs parameter should be enhanced to 2. Prior to RAN1202 feature, this minimum value was equal to 1 . To enable or disable 24kbps paging channel feature, the PCH24kbpsEnabled parameter is used. It is effective on a cell level and can be modified by object locking. Steps

Open the OMS Element Manager and go to Tree View .


Select the appropriate WBTS object and lock the WCEL where this feature needs to be activated.

Click the arrow next to the locked WCEL object icon and select Edit Parameters.

RAN1643: HSDPA 64QAM Activating HSDPA 64QAM Purpose

Follow the procedure below to activate the RAN1643: HSDPA 64QAM feature. For more information on the feature, see the RAN1643: HSDPA 64QAM feature description in WCDMA RAN, rel. RU20, feature descriptions. Before you start



•


Before activating the RAN1643: HSDPA 64QAM feature, enable the RAN1638: Flexible RLC feature. For information about activating the RAN1638: Flexible RLC, see Activating and operating the feature in RAN1638: Flexible RLC (DL) feature description. Both features RAN1638: Flexible RLC and RAN1643: HSDPA 64QAM can be used only under the WCDMA BTSs in the network that supports these features. WBTS capabilities are received by the RNC in NBAP: Audit response and NBAP: Resource status Indication messages. WBTS capabilities are read from IEs: SixtyfourQAM DL capability and HS-DSCH MAC-d PDU size capability. If the corresponding capabilities in any WBTS are reported as not supported, the feature is not available to the UEs under that WCDMA BTS even if it is activated in the RNC. Note that feature RAN1643: HSDPA 64QAM and feature RAN1642: MIMO 2x2 cannot be enabled simultaneously. 64QAM can be enabled only on System Module Rel2 (FSMC/ FSMD/ FSME) or EUBB. For best performance: •

•

64QAM should be enabled on HSPA carrier (not shared) in order: •

to decrease interferences from R99 users

•

not to decrease available number of spreading codes

F-DPCH feature should be used if available. It reduces code tree occupation and introduces higher probability of 64QAM usage.

Support of HSDPA 64QAM is possible only with the CDSP-DH (DMCU) configured as Feature Upgrade.

IP-based Iub connectivity for Flexi WCDMA BTS

Before you start

Enabling IP-based Iub requires the following interface units in the RNC: •

in RNC2600, the NPGE Gigabit Ethernet interface unit - RAN77: RNC Ethernet Physical Interface feature

•

in RNC196/450, IP-interface upgrade - RAN1225: IP Interface Upgrade for RNC196 and RNC450 feature

In the Flexi WBTS, an FTIA, FTIB, FTJA, FTFB, or FTLB hybrid PDH/Ethernet transport sub-module is required. The feature is an optional application with a separate license control. This feature belongs to the application software. Before you activate the feature, make sure you have a valid license (a f ile including the feature information) installed. Before a licensed feature can be activated, the license must be transferred and installed in the

112


DN0988674



RNC. For information on transferring the l icense to the RNC, see License management operations in RNC in WCDMA RAN license operation. You can install the license by using NetAct or a local MML interface. If you install the license using NetAct, the feature covered by the license is automatically set to the ON state. If you use the MML interface, you must also set the feature state (ON/CONFIG/OFF). In new installations, the default state is OFF. When installing a new increment, the previously set state remains as the default. For the specific instructions on the license installation in the RNC, see W7L INSTALL OR UPDATE LICENCE in W7 - Licence and Feature Handling. For more information, see Licence-based feature management, W7 - Licence and Feature Handling, and License management principles. See also System Administration Principles in NetAct Product Documentation and Licensed sales items in RU20 in License management in WCDMA RAN . Use the ZW7 command to activate the license for the feature with feature code 1079. Note that the license is capacity based, and the measure of the capacity is the number of BTSs. If the IP-based Iub is not ON, the IP based route ID cannot be configured. RNW configuration has to be done according to the network plan. Configuration can be created by using either the Parameter editor or the RNW plan interface. The IP-layer configuration can be managed using the local MML interface or the IP plan interface from NetAct.

Follow the procedure to activate Feature RAN1578: HSPA Transport Fallback. For more information on the feature, see RAN1578: HSPA Transport Fallback in WCDMA RAN, rel. RU20, Feature Descriptions. Before you start

In case of Dual Iub scenario, the BFD session (configured in the RNC) that monitors availability of the IP link must be bound to the respective IP based route. An IP link failure causes the change of the BFD state to DOWN, which makes the related IP based route unavailable for new connections. The RNC does not use this IP based route for ongoing or new calls as long as the BFD state remains DOWN. Restart of the RNC and the WBTS is not required after activation of this feature. This feature belongs to application software and is under license key management. Make sure you have a valid license (a file including the feature information) installed. To check if the RNC license is activated, use the W7I command. For more information on using the command, see W7 - Licence and Feature Handling. Before a licensed feature can be activated, the license must be transferred to and installed in the RNC. For information on transferring the license to the RNC, see License management operations in RNC in WCDMA RAN license management. You can install the license using NetAct or a local MML interface. If you install the license using NetAct, the feature covered by the license is automatically set to the O N state. For information on license management in NetAct, see Managing Licenses, License Manager Help, Licence Manager Technical Reference Guide, and Licence Manager problems in Troubleshooting System Management Problems in Nokia Siemens Networks NetAct documentation. If you use the MML interface, you must also set the feature state (ON/CONFIG/OFF). In new installations, the default state is OFF. For the specific instructions on the license installation in the RNC, see W7L INSTALL OR UPDATE LICENCE in W7 - Licence and Feature Handling.

g

•

Either RAN1142: ATM over Ethernet or RAN74: IP Based Iub for Flexi WCDMA BTS for the configuration of the packet transfer mode on the packet ba ckhaul as Pseudo Wires or Native Iub/IP respectively

•


Both RAN1708: BTS Synchronous Ethernet and RAN1254: Timing over Packet can be activated at the same time; one is set as primary and the other as secondary synchronization source. The feature RAN74: IP Based Iub for Flexi WCDMA BTS requires RAN1708: BTS Synchronous Ethernet feature for synchronization in case other synchronization methods are not available. Even though SyncE can work perfectly in the ATM over Ethernet Iub mode, the target application for SyncE is explicitly meant to be used in the IP-based Iub mode. It is because of the fact that in the ATM over Ethernet Iub mode there are classical alternatives for the provision of synchronization to the WCDMA BTS based on PDH/SDH TDM signal transmission. Steps

Take an Ethernet interface in use.

In the TRS Hardware view of the BTS Site Manager, under Physical Interfaces tab, take an Ethernet interface in use.

For more information on the feature, see RAN1708: BTS Synchronous Ethernet in WCDMA RAN, rel. RU20, feature descriptions. Before you start

Restart of the RNC and the WBTS is not required after activation of this feature. The feature RAN1708: BTS Synchronous Ethernet is an optional application with a separate license control. The feature belongs to application software. Before you activate the feature, make sure you have a valid license installed. Before a licensed feature can b e activated, the license (a file including the feature information) must be transferred and installed in the WBTS. You can install the license by using NetAct or a local AXC Manager interface. Once the license file has been installed, the activation of the feature takes place through the configuration of the SyncE as a synchronization clock source, as explained later in this document. For more information on transferring the license using NetAct, see License management operations in BTS in WCDMA RAN license management. For more information on transferring the license for UltraSite WBTS usi ng AXC Manager, see Managing licences in Operating and maintaining AXC .

g

Both RAN1708: BTS Synchronous Ethernet and RAN1254: Timing over Packet can be activated at the same time; one is set as primary and the other as secondary synchronization source. The feature RAN1634: IP Based Iub for UltraSite WCDMA BTS requires RAN1708: BTS Synchronous Ethernet feature for synchronization in case other synchronization methods are not available. Even though SyncE can work perfectly in the ATM over Ethernet Iub mode, the target application for SyncE is explicitly meant to be used in the IP-based Iub mode. It is because of the fact that in the ATM over Ethernet Iub mode there are classical alternatives for the provision of synchronization to the WCDMA BTS based on PDH/SDH TDM signal transmission. Steps

Launch AXC Manager. Make sure Ethernet interfaces are configured (AXCF unit is in use), and WBTS is in IP Iub or Dual Iub mode.

Define SyncE as the timing source.

Click “Configuration j Synchronization” to open the synchronization window. Add new timing source by checking in the Transmission interface and selecting AXCF along with its Ethernet interface.

Configure SyncE parameters.

In the same window, configure the SSM timeout. You can also enable the SS M monitoring on the selected interface.

g

The SSM value shows the current SSM value obtained from the concrete timing source.


Click OK to close the window.

Change the priority of synchronization timing sources if necess ary.

Select the timing source and use the arrow buttons to change the priority.


Click OK to send the changes and close the window. Expected outcome

The feature RAN1708: BTS Synchronous Ethernet has been activated in the UltraSite WBTS.

3.4.3

Verifying BTS Synchronous Ethernet To verify that the feature RAN1708: BTS Synchronous Ethernet has been activated, check that there is no pending Synchronization lost alarm. Use the BTS Site Manager or AXC Manager to confirm that the alarm is not visible. The currently active timing source is displayed in the BTS Site Manager in “Configuration j TRS Configuration j Synchronization” under Active source in TRS and in the AXC Manager in the “Configuration j Synchronization” window. The feature RAN1708: BTS Synchronous Ethernet has been activated successfully if there are no synchronization alarms and Synchronous Ethernet is the active source in synchronization window.

3.4.4

Deactivating BTS Synchronous Ethernet To deactivate the feature RAN1708: BTS Synchronous Ethernet, change the source for synchronization. For Flexi WBTS, in the Configuration menu of the BTS Site Manager, select TRS Configuration and Synchronization . Either delete the Synchronous Ethernet from the list of timing sources by selecting the checkbox and pressing Send, or select different source of synchronization. For UltraSite WBTS, in the “Configuration j Synchronization” window of AXC Manager, remove SyncE from the timing sources list and click OK .

g

150

Before deleting the Synchronous Ethernet, che ck that you have an alternative synchronization source available. In this case the synchronization automatically switches to the secondary source. If there is no secondary source, the system goes to internal clock automatically.

Configure two IP based routes towards the given WBTS for user p lane traffic differentation.

g

It is also possible to configure only one IP based route per WBTS in the RNC. In this case, the IP based route must be associated with two different IP addresses to support traffic differentiation. The mechanism of the IP based route selection for user plane traffic is described in User plane transport bearer setup in RAN1709: VLAN Traffic Differentiation in WCDMA RAN, rel. RU20, feature descriptions. a) Configure IP based route for user plane 1 ZQRU:ADD:10,"IPROUTE1":11000:10000:100:100:ON,20; ZQRC:NPGE,0:VL10:IPV4=10.2.10.2:ID=10:PHB=”EF,AF4,AF3,AF2,AF 1”; b) Configure IP based route for user plane 2 ZQRU:ADD:20,"IPROUTE2":11000:10000:100:100:ON,20; ZQRC:NPGE,0:VL20:IPV4=10.2.20.2:ID=20:PHB=”BE”;

g

The PHB sets assigned to the two IP addresses should cover all possible PHB values (BE, AF1, AF2, AF3, AF4, and EF). Only then can each kind of user plane traffic be mapped to one of the two dedicated VLANs.

g

Ensure the IP QoS is enabled in IP interfaces by using MML command Q8S. For more information, see Configuring IP QoS section in Configuring IP Connection for IPA-RNC document.

Configure static routes in the RNC for different traffic types.

g

It is assumed that all RNC VLANs are terminated in the site router. The site router 10.2.XX.1 IP addresses are the gateways for the respective egress RNC traffic types.

With the ZQKC command configure a static route in the NPGE towards the WBTS O&M subnet (10.4.0.0/30) with the gateway that is the IP address of the site router's VLAN interface used by management plane (in this configuration example, this IP address is 10.2.40.1). ZQKC:NPGE,0:10.4.0.0,24:10.2.40.1:PHY; e) Configure a static route for the BTS O&M subnet in the OMU unit. With the ZQKC command configure a static route in the OMU towards the WBTS O&M subnet (10.4.0.0/30) with the gateway that is the IP address of the NPGE in the same subnet as the OMU (10.0.0.0/24). ZQKC:OMU,0:10.4.0.0,24:10.0.0.X:LOG;

g

10.0.0.X is the IP address of the NPGE unit in the RNC O&M subnet (10.0.0.0/24). f)

Configure static routes in the OMU and NPGE units towards the NetAct network. The static route in the OMU unit should have the gateway configured to the IP address of the RNC's VLAN interface used by management plane (in this configuration example, this IP address is 10.2.40.2). The static route in the NPGE unit should have the gateway configured to the IP address of the site router's VLAN interface used by management plane (in this configuration example, this IP address is 10.2.40.1). The site router should have the routing information configured accordingly to f orward all O&M traffic destined for the NetAct network.

Create BFD sessions and associate them with the IP based routes configured.

If you follow the exemplary configuration presented in this document, assign 10 to IP Based Route Id Iub (IPBasedRouteIdIub ) and 20 to IP Based Route Id Iub 2 (IPBasedRouteIdIub2 ).

g

It is possible to configure one IP based route per WBTS in the RNC. In this case, only IP Based Route Id Iub must be configured. If there are two VLANs attached to one IP based route, IP Based Route Id Iub 2 does not need to be configured. If you plan two IP based routes per WBTS, IP Based Route Id Iub 2 can be configured only when IP Based Route Id Iub has been configured. IP Based Route Id Iub 2 is used only for user plane connections. IP Based Route Id Iub is mapped by the system to IP Based Route Identification (IPBasedRouteId ) in the respective IPNB object and used during both user and control plane connections. While configuring IP Based Route Id Iub and IP Based Route Id Iub 2 , use the IDs of the IP based routes that have already been configured via MML in the IPA platform. Configuration of IP Based Route Id Iub 2 with a nonexisting IP based route ID is not checked by the system and results with a failure of user plane transport bearer establishment. Configuration of IP Based Route Id Iub with a nonexisting IP based route ID results with the Error 17126 The IP based route ID cannot be found , as this ID is used by the IPNB object during CNBAP link creation. The control plane traffic uses only IP Based Route Id Iub . Steps for activating RAN1709: VLAN Traffic Differentiation on the Multicontroller RNC Purpose

Use the values of the IP b ased route IDs configured in step Configure two IP based routes towards the given WBTS for user plane traffic differentation. If you follow the exemplary configuration presented in this document, assign 10 to IP Based Route Id Iub (IPBasedRouteIdIub ) and 20 to IP Based Route Id Iub 2 (IPBasedRouteIdIub2 ).

g

It is possible to configure one IP based route per WBTS in the RNC. In this case, only IP Based Route Id Iub must be configured. If there are two VLANs attached to one IP based route, IP Based Route Id Iub 2 does not need to be configured. If you plan two IP based routes per WBTS, IP Based Route Id Iub 2 can be configured only when IP Based Route Id Iub has been configured. IP Based Route Id Iub 2 is used only for user plane connections. IP Based Route Id Iub is mapped by the system to IP Based Route Identification (IPBasedRouteId ) in the respective IPNB object and used during both user and control plane connections. While configuring IP Based Route Id Iub and IP Based Route Id Iub 2 , use the IDs of the IP based routes that have already been configured via MML in the IPA platform. Configuration of IP Based Route Id Iub 2 with a nonexisting IP based route ID is not checked by the system and results with a failure of user plane transport bearer establishment. Configuration of IP Based Route Id Iub with a nonexisting IP based route ID results with the Error 17126 The IP based route ID cannot be found , as this ID is used by the IPNB object during CNBAP link creation. The control plane traffic uses only IP Based Route Id Iub .

g

The RNC type is not visible in WBTS. See the Steps for activating RAN1709: VLAN Traffic Differentiation on the WBTS.

Expected outcome

RAN1709: VLAN Traffic Differentiation has been activated.

Verifying RAN1709: VLAN Traffic Differentiation Purpose

Follow the procedure to verify the feature RAN1709: VLAN Traffic Differentiation . Before you start

The measurements M565 IP measurement on IP interface and M566 UDP measurement on IP interface support also the measuring of VLAN interfaces. These measurements can be used to verify the correctness of the activation. Steps

Start the M565 IP measurement on IP interface measurement with the RNW Measurement Management and RNW Measurement Presentation.

Create a new measurement object for the M565 IP measurement on IP interface measurement. Choose the VLAN interfaces configured for the user plane traffic.

Make suitable calls through the relevant WBTS.

g

The measurement object for the M565 IP measurement on IP interface measurement is updated every time the traffic generated by the given call is sent over any of the VLAN interfaces configured for the user plane traffic. a) Make an AMR, PS RT DCH, PS NRT DCH, or PS RT HSPA call. b) Make a PS NRT HSPA call.

Verify the allocation of the generated traffic to the proper VLAN interface. a) Stop the measurement. b) Verify if the traffic generated by the call has been a llocated to the proper VLAN interface in accordance with the PHB profile configuration. If configured as presented in the given example in Activating RAN1709: VLAN Traffic Differentiation, the traffic generated by the PS NRT HSPA call should be sent over VL20 interface. It is assumed that the PHB=BE is configured only to PS NRT HSPA calls. The traffic generated by all the ot her types of calls should be sent over VL10 interface.

g

For more information on the PHB profile configuration, see step Configure two IP based routes towards the given WBTS for user plane traffic differentation. Expected outcome

The feature RAN1709: VLAN Traffic Differentiation has been successfully activated.

3.5.3

Deactivating RAN1709: VLAN Traffic Differentiation Purpose

Follow the procedure to deactivate the feature RAN1709: VLAN Traffic Differentiation . Steps

Reconfigure WBTS.

Restore the old WBTS configuration so that all traffic types use the same IP address assigned to the Ethernet interface.

Reconfigure RNC.

Restore the old RNC configuration so that only one IP based route is used by the user plane to reach the WBTS. Configure only one local IP address to be used by the user plane traffic. Configure only one remote IP addresses (the sta tic route towards the given WBTS in the RNC routing table) to be used by both the user and control planes.


Go to Tree View :


Reconfigure Iub IP based route identifiers. a) Open the relevant WBTS object. b) Assign only one IP based route to IP Based Route Id Iub (IPBasedRouteIdIub ). c) Assign zero value to IP Based Route Id Iub 2 (IPBasedRouteIdIub2 ), which means that the IP based route is not defined.

Uninstall the license in the WBTS. Expected outcome

The feature RAN1709: VLAN Traffic Differentiation has been deactivated for the relevant WBTS.

Activating RAN1461: RNC RNW alarm reduction Activating RAN1461: RNC RNW alarm reduction

Purpose

Follow the procedure below to activate the following functions of the RAN1461: RNC RNW alarm reduction feature. 1. WBTS-level fault indication 2. Suspend mode

g

This feature is optional; therefore, no licensing is applied. This feature is active by default and can be deactivated manually.

Steps Open the connection to the required IPA-RNC or mcRNC IP address to start the ManMachine Interface (MMI) or Structured Command Line Interface (SCLI) respectively. Make sure you are logged into the fsclish interactive mode . The default user account of the mcRNC logs into that mode automatically. To log into fsclish interactive mode manually, use the fsclish command.

To activate the WBTS-level fault indication, change the PRFILE parameter 016:0009 value to 1. •

For IPA-RNC use the MML command of: ZWOC:16,9,1;

•

For mcRNC use the SCLI command of: set app-parameter configurationparameter class 16 number 9 value 1

To activate the RNW alarm system Suspend mode, change the PRFILE parameter 016:0010 value to 1. • •

g

For IPA-RNC use the MML command of: ZWOC:16,10,1; For mcRNC use the SCLI command of: set app-parameter configurationparameter class 16 number 10 value 1

This change affects handling of faults generated after the alarm change. If the number of alarms during the Suspend mode activation time exceeds the defined limit for a certain fault type group, and when a new alarm of that group is received and assigned a suspended status, the alarm indicating the Suspend mode activation is set on.

194


DN0988674


Expected outcome

The WBTS-level fault indication function and the Suspend mode function of RAN1461: RNC RNW alarm reduction feature have been activated. Alarm change after the functions are switched to active:

DN0988674

•

WBTS-level fault indication switched to active The activation affects only alarm setting for the BTS-level failures raised after the functionality is switched to active. Currently active WCEL ala rms remain active, and no WBTS-level alarms are set for sites that had failures before the activation of the feature.

•

Suspend mode switched to active The Suspend mode alarm 2881 RNW ALARM SYSTEM SUSPEND MODE ACTIVATED is set only if a new alarm is set and the new alarm is assigned the suspended status.

Verifying RAN1461: RNC RNW alarm reduction

Purpose

Follow the procedure below to verify that the a ctivation of the following functions of the RAN1461: RNC RNW alarm reduction feature has been successful. 1. WBTS-level fault indication functionality 2. The Suspend mode functionality

Steps

g

Verifying these functions requires an RNC with at least one working BTS site with multiple WCELs in working state (WO state). During the verification procedure the WCELs are disabled and thus the BTS becomes unavailable for traffic.

Verifying WBTS-level fault indication functionality

Ensure that WBTS-level fault indication is active.

For details see Activating RAN1461: RNC RNW alarm reduction, section 1.

Simulate C-NBAP link break between the RNC and the BTS, for example, by breaking the transmission connection between these elements.

Wait one minute.

Restore the transmission between the RNC and the BTS.

Wait one minute.

Expected outcome

After executing step 3, alarm 7786 WCDMA BASE STATION OUT OF USE is set to active and 77xx alarms are not raised for the W CEL objects that were in WO state prior to the transmission break. After executing step 6, alarm 7786 should no longer be active, and all the WCELs under the BTS should be restored to WO state.

196


DN0988674


Steps

Verifying the Suspend mode functionality Open the connection to the required IPA-RNC or mcRNC IP address to start the ManMachine Interface (MMI) or Structured Command Line Interface (SCLI) respectively.

Switch off the WBTS level fault indication.

For details see Activating RAN1461: RNC RNW alarm reduction, section 4. This allows to generate enough WCEL alarms in a small environment.

Ensure that the Suspend mode is on.

For details see Activating RAN1461: RNC RNW alarm reduction, section 1.

Change the PRFILE parameter 016:0011 value to be low enough for activating the Suspend mode in the system.

The value should be lower than the number of working WCEL s available in the verification environment.

Simulate a C-NBAP link break for a BTS site (or multiple sites) so that more WCELs are dropped from WO state.

Wait three minutes.

Restore C-NBAP link(s).

Wait three minutes.

Expected outcome

After executing step 6, alarm 2881 RNW ALARM SYSTEM SUSPEND MODE ACTIVATED is raised. After executing step 8, alarm 2881 should no longer be active.

4.4.3

Modifying RAN1461: RNC RNW alarm reduction functionality

Purpose

Follow the procedure below to modify the following feature of the RAN1461: RNC RNW alarm reduction feature. 1. Individual fault type limits 2. Threshold limit

For the RNW alarm system Suspend mode, it is possible to change the limit values for individual fault types that can trigger the Suspend mode, and also the threshold value that controls writing of the buffered alarms in the system to the alar m system database in the RNC.


To change individual fault type limits, change parameters 0011-0014 under parameter class 016 w ithin the accepted ranges. Setting the limit value to 0 disables the Suspend mode for the fault type indicated by the variable. •

For IPA-RNC use the MML command of: ZWOC:16,,;

•

For mcRNC use the SCLI command of: set app-parameter configurationparameter class 16 number value

To change the threshold limit after which the buffered alarms in the system are to be written to the alarm database and shown as a ctive alarms: • •

g

198

For IPA-RNC use the MML command of: ZWOC:16,15,; For mcRNC use the SCLI command of: set app-parameter configurationparameter class 16 number 15 value

The parameter value should not be increased to the maximum as the alarm system requires some free resources to handle alarms. If the threshold value is too low, any reappearing fault (after corrective actions have been taken according to alarm manual) may become suspended. This can prevent verification of the result of the corrective actions.


DN0988674


Expected outcome

The outcome depends on the way the param eters are changed. A fault type specific limit increase may cancel alarm 2881, and cause new alarms to be activated fr om the buffer in the RNC. Decreasing these limit parameters does not change the number of active alarms displayed, but if the limit is dropped below the current number of active alarms of that fault type, the next alarm set of that fault type group could trigger the Suspend mode on. Increasing the threshold limit may cause some alarms to be activated from the buffer, depending on the ratio of buffered alarm s and free alarm system capacity set for the fault type groups.

Deactivating RAN1461: RNC RNW alarm reduction

Purpose

Follow the procedure below to deactivate the following feature of the RAN1461: RNC RNW alarm reduction feature. 1. WBTS-level fault indication functionality 2. The Suspend mode functionality


To deactivate the WBTS-level fault indication, change the PRFILE parameter 016:0009 value to 0. •

For IPA-RNC use the MML command of: ZWOC:16,9,0;

•

For mcRNC use the SCLI command of: set app-parameter configurationparameter class 16 number 9 value 0

To deactivate the RNW alarm system Suspend mode, change the PRFILE parameter 016:0010 value to 0. • •

For IPA-RNC use the MML command of: ZWOC:16,10,0; For mcRNC use the SCLI command of: set app-parameter configurationparameter class 16 number 10 value 0

Expected outcome

The WBTS level fault indication functionality and the Suspend mode functionality of the RAN1461: RNC RNW alarm reduction feature has been deactivated. When deactivating the WBTS level fault indication, any 7786 alarms active in the system remain unchanged. They are cancelled when the WCELs are recovered. When deactivating the Suspend mode, the buffered alarms are written to the alarm system as active alarms and any 2881 alarms are cancelled. The number of alarms activated from the buffer depends on the current alarm system capacity for storing new active alarms.

g

200

This change affects the alarm handling of the faults generated after the alarm change. The WBTS-level alarms are cleared only after at least one WCEL is successfully restored to the WO state. If the Suspend m ode was deactivated, and the suspend-mode indicating alarm (2881) was active at the time, the alarm system attempts to write any buffered alarms to the alarm system database as active alarms.
