2.3 Features of the CME This describes the features of the CME.

Scenario-Oriented Integrated Solutions The CME supports common configuration scenarios, such as initial configuration, system expansion, network optimization, and base station reparenting. The CME can provide end-toend integrated solutions as required.

Configuration Management for Multiple RNSs of Different Versions The CME enables the NE management conversion from single-point configuration to multipoint configuration. The CME allows overall configuration management for multiple RNSs of different versions. Thus, it can be used in practical applications with NEs of different versions. Issue 01 (2008-06-25)


2-5



RNS-Based Data Management All the configuration data of the CME is saved in the database of the CME server. When the CME is integrated into the M2000, multiple planned data areas can be created for different types of RNS. In these areas, multiple engineers can work in parallel without interference to others. RNS-based data management facilitates data configuration and maintenance.

Flexible Running Modes The CME runs in standalone or integrated mode, which is specified on the basis of different scenarios.

User-Centered Design The CME supports multiple information navigation modes, such as navigation by NE, by protocol stack, and by configuration. l

In the mode of navigation by NE, the RNS navigation tree in the main window displays the RNC in an RNS and all the NodeBs and cells controlled by the RNC. You can rightclick an item to view the corresponding configuration window.

l

In the mode of navigation by protocol stack, you can view the Iub, Iu-CS, Iu-PS, and Iur protocol stacks on the CME. The protocol stacks are vivid for configuration of the interface data.

l

In the mode of navigation by configuration, you can perform data configuration through the wizard.

User-Centered Design (UCD) simplifies data configuration.

Data Consistency Guarantee of the Iub Through the Iub refreshing function and the consistency check function, the CME can guarantee the Iub data consistency, reduce the workload on manual check, improve the processing efficiency, and thus implement integrated data configuration.

3.1 Definition of RAN Initial Configuration RAN initial configuration consists of RNC initial configuration and NodeB initial configuration. RAN initial configuration refers to certain operations that are performed after the RAN hardware, which consists of at least one RNC and one NodeB, is initially installed. During RAN initial configuration, you configure data for the RAN elements based on the hardware configuration, network planning, and negotiation between network elements. Then, you export configuration files and load the files onto the RNC and NodeB through LMT or M2000. RAN initial configuration consists of the following activities: l

Adding an RNC initially

l

Adding a NodeB initially

3.1.1 Definition of RNC Initial Configuration RNC initial configuration is the process of preparing and configuring the data after the RNC hardware components are installed. The configuration is based on the RNC hardware components, network planning, and data negotiation between the RNC and other equipment. After the configuration, you can obtain an RNC initial configuration file in .txt format. 3.1.2 Definition of NodeB Initial Configuration NodeB initial configuration is the process of preparing and configuring the data after the NodeB hardware components are installed. The configuration is based on the NodeB hardware components, network planning, and data negotiation between the NodeB and other equipment. After the configuration, a data configuration file in .xml format is generated.

3.1.1 Definition of RNC Initial Configuration RNC initial configuration is the process of preparing and configuring the data after the RNC hardware components are installed. The configuration is based on the RNC hardware components, network planning, and data negotiation between the RNC and other equipment. After the configuration, you can obtain an RNC initial configuration file in .txt format. The configuration file must meet the following requirements: l

The data is intact, correct, and compatible with the physical configuration of the equipment.

3.1.2 Definition of NodeB Initial Configuration NodeB initial configuration is the process of preparing and configuring the data after the NodeB hardware components are installed. The configuration is based on the NodeB hardware components, network planning, and data negotiation between the NodeB and other equipment. After the configuration, a data configuration file in .xml format is generated. The configuration file must meet the following requirements:

4.1 Workspace Workspace is a space where operators can perform data configuration. The minimum unit of the workspace is an RNS, which is composed of one RNC and multiple NodeBs controlled by this RNC. The CME supports management and maintenance of multiple RNSs. When the CME is integrated into the M2000, the workspace is divided into the current data area and planned data areas.

Current Data Area The current data area records the data on the existing network. It manages the configuration data of all the NEs within the RAN, which is composed of multiple RNSs. The current data area can synchronize its data with that on the existing network at default intervals. You can also perform the synchronization manually.

Planned Data Area The data in a planned data area is synchronized with that in the current data area before related data configuration. Before data activation, the planned data area functions as an offline working area. Users configure the data in their own planned data areas. Therefore, several users can work in parallel. The data on the existing network is modified only after the configured data is activated.

CAUTION To protect the system from failures, ensure that one object is not modified in several planned data areas at the same time.

4.2 Negotiation and Planning Data File This defines the negotiation and planning data file and describes the scenarios for using the file, the method of obtaining the file, and the role of the file in the CME.

Licensing Modes of the CME The license file of the CME is used in the following scenarios: l

For the CME that is integrated into the M2000, the M2000 server performs license control. The license file of the M2000 is located in a specific directory on the M2000 server. When you start the CME client on the M2000 client, the system automatically reads the license file and acquires the control items.

l

For the standalone CME, the license is client-specific. The license file is named WRANCME License.DAT and located in the system directory under the installation directory of the CME. When you start the CME client, the system automatically reads the local license file and acquires the control items.

Obtaining Method The license file is obtained according to the procedure worked out by the supplier and the customer.

Implementation Method Under the control of the CME license file, the functions of the CME are categorized into the following types: l

GUI-based basic functions of WRAN data configuration

l

Enhanced functions of WRAN transport network configuration

l

Enhanced functions of WRAN radio network configuration

l

Check of consistency in WRAN configuration data

l

WRAN NodeB reparenting

Based on the license, the CME controls to enable or disable functions. Without a license file, the CME performs only basic functions. With a license file, the CME controls and manages functions as negotiated between the supplier and the customer.

Description

NRNC Cell

l

Check Existence of NRNCCELL: After the reparenting, the NRNC cells configured by a third party may not exist on the NRNCs. In this case, the CME checks whether the involved RNCs exist and provides a wizard for changing the ownership of the NRNC cells. This wizard guides you to move the NRNC cells to other RNC and exports the modified MML script.

l

Check CellNameConflict: The CME checks whether the names of the cells and NRNC cells under the current RNC are in conflict with the names of the cells configured with the Iub interface under other RNCs. After the check, the CME provides a modification wizard and generates an MML script. To modify the name of a cell under an NRNC, you need to exit the current RNC and open the NRNC.

l

Check Consistency of NRNCCELL: Based on the cell ID, the CME checks whether the data of a cell under an RNC is consistent with the data of the same cell under another RNC. The data includes the cell name, frequency, and scrambling code. After the check, the CME provides a modification wizard and generates an MML script. If the frequency is changed, the CME can automatically adjust the neighboring relations between cells.

l

Check GSMCELL Consistency: If the MCC, MNC, CID, and LAC of each GSM cell configured on the local RNC are consistent with those configured on other RNCs, the CME checks the consistency of other data and displays the inconsistent data.

l

Check GSMCELL Frequency: The CME checks whether the frequency of a GSM cell in the current RNS adheres to the rules.

The data in the current data area must be consistent with the data on the existing network.

Synchronize data from the existing network

Before reconfiguration, ensure that the data in the current data area of the CME is consistent with that on the existing network. For details, refer to 7.2.4 Synchronizing with the Data on the Existing Network. If there is no information about the NE to be synchronized in the current data area, you are required to load the RNS at first. For details, refer to 7.2.2 Loading Data from the Existing Network.

Create a planned data area

The planned data area is a workspace for data configuration. Perform this operation by referring to 7.2.5 Creating a Planned Data Area.

Data in the planned area consistent with data in the current area?

Before reconfiguration, check the data consistency between the planned data area and the current data area by referring to 7.2.10 Checking Data Consistency.

Synchronize RNS

If data inconsistency occurs, synchronize the RNS data to ensure the data consistency between the planned area and the current area.

The user can check the data consistency by referring to 7.2.3 Viewing Changed NEs.

For details, refer to 7.2.7 Synchronizing RNS Data. Reconfigure data

After the reconfiguration on the CME in integrated mode, activate the modified data through the M2000. For details, refer to 7.2.12 Activating Data.

7.2.1 Starting the CME Client This describes how to start the CME client on the M2000 client when the CME is integrated into the M2000. 7.2.2 Loading Data from the Existing Network This describes how to create an RNS on the CME that is integrated into the M2000. This task is required when no RNS or not all RNSs are created in the current data area. 7.2.3 Viewing Changed NEs On the CME integrated into the M2000, multiple users can configure data in their own planned data areas. The modified data in the planned data areas does not take effect on the NEs until the data is activated. While a user performs data configuration, the CME can check whether another user modifies the NE data. 7.2.4 Synchronizing with the Data on the Existing Network If the data in the current data area is inconsistent with that on the existing network, you need to perform data synchronization. In multi-user mode, data on the existing network may be modified by any other user at any time. Therefore, you need to synchronize the data in the current data area with that on the existing network. The synchronization mode is of three types, which are manual synchronization, automatic synchronization, and periodical synchronization. 7.2.5 Creating a Planned Data Area This describes how to create a planned data area and add an RNS into this area before data configuration on the CME integrated into the M2000. RNS data can be obtained from the current data area after data synchronization. 7.2.6 Opening a Planned Data Area This describes how to open a planned data area before you configure data or resume data configuration. 7.2.7 Synchronizing RNS Data This describes how to synchronize the RNS data in a planned data area with that in the current data area on the CME that is integrated into the M2000. 7.2.8 Opening an RNS You need to open an appropriate RNS to continue an incomplete data configuration task. 7.2.9 Checking Data This describes how to check global data and Iub interface data. You need to check data integrity and redundancy after data configuration or reconfiguration. 7.2.10 Checking Data Consistency This describes how to check data consistency between the current data area and the planned data area on the CME that is integrated into the M2000. 7.2.11 Exporting a Modification Report This describes how to export a modification report on the CME that is integrated into the M2000.

NRNC Cell

l

Check Existence of NRNCCELL: After the reparenting, the NRNC cells configured by a third party may not exist on the NRNCs. In this case, the CME checks whether the involved RNCs exist and provides a wizard for changing the ownership of the NRNC cells. This wizard guides you to move the NRNC cells to other RNC and exports the modified MML script.

l

Check CellNameConflict: The CME checks whether the names of the cells and NRNC cells under the current RNC are in conflict with the names of the cells configured with the Iub interface under other RNCs. After the check, the CME provides a modification wizard and generates an MML script. To modify the name of a cell under an NRNC, you need to exit the current RNC and open the NRNC.

l

Check Consistency of NRNCCELL: Based on the cell ID, the CME checks whether the data of a cell under an RNC is consistent with the data of the same cell under another RNC. The data includes the cell name, frequency, and scrambling code. After the check, the CME provides a modification wizard and generates an MML script. If the frequency is changed, the CME can automatically adjust the neighboring relations between cells.

l

Check GSMCELL Consistency: If the MCC, MNC, CID, and LAC of each GSM cell configured on the local RNC are consistent with those configured on other RNCs, the CME checks the consistency of other data and displays the inconsistent data.

l

Check GSMCELL Frequency: The CME checks whether the frequency of a GSM cell in the current RNS adheres to the rules.

The resources in an IMA group cannot be used when the minimum number of activated links in the group is greater than the number of links in the group.

Physical layer: Check data to ensure that the relations between boards are configured. Radio network layer: l

Cell data is configured.

l

On the same TRU, the frequency difference between two local cells is equal to or greater than 4.2 MHz (= 21 x 0.2 MHz) and equal to or smaller than 5 MHz (25 x 0.2 MHz). This is true for both UL and DL.

l

If the sector where the local cell is located is in TX diversity mode or 0.5/0.5 carrier mode, then two transmitting channels of the local cell cannot be the same.

l

The transmitting units of the local cell uses one tributary of the antenna channel of the sector.

l

If the sector has one, two, or four antennas, then it must have one, two, or four antenna channels respectively.

l

If the sector is in no TX diversity mode, then at least one tributary of the antenna channel is a TX and RX tributary. If the sector is in TX diversity mode, then at least two are TX and RX tributaries.

l

In two-way antenna mode, a pair of antennas or two TX antennas (at antenna port 0A) can be configured on the same RF module. For a local cell in TX diversity mode, two RF modules are adjacent to each other.

l

In four-way demodulation mode or four-way economical demodulation mode, two pairs of antennas are configured for two RF modules, or four TX antennas (at antenna port 0A) are configured for four RF modules. For a local cell in TX diversity mode, two RF modules need to be adjacent to each other and the other two also need to be adjacent to each other.

Prerequisite l


l

7.2.5 Creating a Planned Data Area is complete. NOTE

Before checking data consistency, perform 7.2.4.1 Manual Synchronizing with the Data on the Existing Network to guarantee the validity of the data on the existing network.

Context This task is performed to ensure that the data before reconfiguration is consistent with the data after reconfiguration. The details are as follows: l

Before reconfiguration, check the data consistency between the planned area and the current area to ensure the validity of subsequent data configuration.

l

After reconfiguration and before activation, check whether the MML commands exported through the wizard on the CME are valid to the data on the existing network. The CME is integrated into the M2000. For example, when user A modifies the data of an RNS in a planned data area, user B may modify the data of the RNS in another planned data area and activate the data on related NEs. In this case, the data in the current data area is refreshed. Thus, the data modified by user A may become invalid. To avoid this problem, the user should check data consistency.

CAUTION Check data consistency before activation. If data conflict occurs, you should synchronize the data in the planned data area with the data in the current data area. The data conflict may result from the following operations: l

Adding an object that already exists on the network.

l

Modifying an object that is already removed from the network.

l

Removing an object that is already removed from the network.

Prerequisite l


l

The 4.2 Negotiation and Planning Data File to be imported is available and the data to be imported is valid. For details about how to fill in the data file, refer to Filling in Radio Network Data Sheets.

Context The rules for the import are as follows: l

When neighboring relation data is imported, an NRNC cell is automatically created. When neighboring relation data is imported, if the target cell is a cell in other RNSs under the management of the CME and if the local RNS is not configured with the NRNC cell, then the NRNC cell is automatically added to the CME during the import. The search for the NRNS aims at only the RNSs configured with the Iur interface. The search among different RNC versions is supported with some old versions not supported.

l

When GSM cell data is imported, the GSM cell index is automatically generated. The common identification of a GSM cell is CGI (MCC/MNC/LAC/CID). The GSM cell, however, is identified with the GSM cell index on the CME. As a result, the CME enables the automatic assignment of the GSM cell index function. That is, before the data is imported, manual assignment of the GSM cell index is not required. The CME preferably assigns the CID value to the GSM cell index. In this case:

l

Issue 01 (2008-06-25)

–

If the CID value to be assigned is not occupied by the GSM cell index of other GSM cells, the CID value is directly assigned to the GSM cell index.

–

If the CID value to be assigned is already occupied by the GSM cell index of other GSM cells, the CME assigns a proper value ranging from 0 in ascending order to an idle GSM cell index.

When GSM neighboring relation data is imported, the CME supports cells with the cell ID or cell name as an identification and GSM cells with the GSM cell index, GSM cell name or CGI as an identification. Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd

The GSM cell index takes priority over the GSM cell name. The GSM cell name takes priority over the CGI. If the field of high priority identification is specified, the identifications of low priority are automatically ignored.

When cell data is imported, the NRNC cell with the same name on the CME is automatically removed. At the network planning phase, names of cells are usually unique. During the reparenting of NodeBs from other vendors, there are cases where an imported cell has the same name, MCC, and MNC as an NRNC cell does. In this case, the CME automatically removes this NRNC cell and exports the MML commands.

The configuration file can be in .xls or .txt format. You can define the field name in the file, such as NodeBId, NodeBName, and CellName. Ensure that the modified field names are consistent with those displayed on the CME. For the file in .xls format: l

The data must be filled in the first sheet.

l

The first row is filled with the field names. If a field is null, then the corresponding column and the following columns are not processed by the CME.

l

The rows from the second row are filled with the field values. If a row is null, then this row and the following rows are not processed by the CME.

For the file in .txt format: l

The neighbor columns are separated by a Tab key.

l

The first row is filled with the field names. If there are two consecutive Tab keys in this row, then the column corresponding to the second Tab key and the following columns are not processed by the CME.

Currently, such data filtering involves at least the following interface elements and primary operations: l

Modify cell frequency
