Introduction

1.1 Objectives According to the network equipment list, traffic model and the requirement of customer, the ethio telecom Technical Solution Document is to design an excellent network, which meets the requirement of network dimension, with high security & availability, reasonable resource distribution, and convenient to maintenance and expand in future.

1.2 Scope of Work This design is a High Level Design document for the AA area in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The Technical Solution takes into account the security for the whole RAN network, which should consider convenient to expand & maintenance in future based on existing network. The report covers the design of BSS network design for BSC/RNC/MBTS, which does not include SGSN, core network design such as MSC, MGW, HLR, and the RF network design. This design does not include the BSC6910 design such as heat and cooling solution, materials and etc. This topic will be covered in the BSC6910 Product Documentation.

1.3 Inputs The following sources of information have been used for this HLD 

Description The default values of RAN network elements are Huawei’s empirical values. It has been tested by Huawei and can guarantee the performance of network. The design follows traffic model from ethio telecom network. The design follows target network scale from ethio telecom network. The design follows transmission network information from ethio telecom network. The design for Addresses will need to follow ethio telecom’s actual IP Plan This design will follow the list provided by ethio telecom of MBTSs that need to connect to the new Huawei RAN Network. This will follow ethio telecom’s Naming and Numbering Plan.

1.5 Assumptions This Document is based on the following general assumptions: 

Traffic model and traffic forecast is confirmed.



Target network scale is confirmed.



Target number of subscribers is confirmed.



The capacity and distribution information of BTSs are confirmed.

GSM BSC6910 Dimension Design

2.3.2.1 Dimension principle Huawei will obey the following BSC dimension principle within Addis Ababa project. 

Traffic volume ethio telecom request the traffic volume for each BSC must not be more than 50,000 Erl in image network. So Huawei respected this requirement and took it as dimension input. Each BSC traffic volume should between 20,000 Erl and 50,000 Erl.



Transmission resource availability All the BTS throughput will converge to BSC. If the single node throughput of BSC is too high, it will impact on the metro transmission resource. Considering the 10G SDH capacity and fiber resource availability, huawei will distribute the throughput into several BSC. Worada division



ET provide 28 woradas polygon for Addis Ababa project planning. The sites in the same worada should be connected to the identical BSC as much as possible. To figure out the number of BSC, Huawei will find a standard reference BSC model which comply the above design principle. Then the number of BSC can be calculated as below:

Number of BSC = Total Capacity/Capacity of standard reference BSC 2.3.2.2 BSC Model Dimension To find out BSC standard reference model, Huawei assume the reference BSC model as below: Reference BSC Model Assumption Parameter TRX Qty

UMTS BSC6910 Dimension Design

2.3.3.1 Dimension principle Huawei will obey the following RNC dimension principle within Addis Ababa project. 

Data throughput The data service throughput is not even in real network. Sometimes the burst throughput will exceed the design target. Considering the combine voice/data service traffic model and network safety, Huawei suggests the throughput for each RNC should be between 20Gbps and 45G bps.



Transmission resource availability All the NodeBs throughput will converge to RNC. If the single node throughput of RNC is too high, it will impact on the metro transmission resource. Considering the 10G SDH capacity and fiber resource availability, huawei will distribute the throughput into several RNC. 

2.5 MBTS Homing Allocation Design 2.5.1

2G BTS Allocation Design

BTS homing and TRX homing are designed according to the network planning design . To balance the processing capabilities of various BSC modules and improve anti-impact and anti-risk capabilities, allocate BTSs among modules properly to implement load balancing. That is, distribute BTSs in a continuous manner between BSCs but distribute BTSs in a discontinuous manner within a BSC and between boards in large sites. Design principles: The number of TRXs needs to meet the designed specifications of GMPS and GEPS

 subracks.

The number of TRXs needs to meet the required board processing specification.



The traffic carried by each module and BHCA do not exceed 60% of the designed

 specification.

 Certain redundant ports and capacity need to be reserved for each Abis interface board for subsequent small-scale adjustment and expansion.  Plan the BTSs connected to the BSC continuously in the coverage area (unless transmission conditions do not permit). Avoid discontinuous BTS distribution in different BSCs; otherwise inter-MSC handovers increase.  signaling traffic.

Allocate the BTSs in the same LAC to the same subrack to reduce inter-module

 Allocate the VIP sites (hot-spot areas with heavy traffic) in an area to different Abis interface boards in a subrack in a discontinuous manner. Overlapping coverage exists between adjacent cells. Therefore, this allocation mode can minimize the impacts due to out-of-service of partial VIP sites in the same area.  For an office that is constructed by phase, there may be many site re-homing requirements. Therefore, during initial site allocation, allocate the sites that have such a re-homing requirement to several Abis interface boards in a module to reduce the workload during re-homing.

3G NodeB Allocation Design NodeB deployment in RNC subracks and EGPU slots:

From version RAN 14.1 BSC6910 supports dynamic cell deployment. The service processing subsystem is automatically allocated by the system when the base station is configured. 

NodeB deployment in RNC interface boards:

According to the principle of each subsystem allocate cells balance, the system automatically calculates the allocation, human intervention is not possible, but pay attention to open the base station dynamic deployment switch (MML command SET UCELLAUTOHOMING). For super base station, it’s not needed that consider the problem of the deployment, because the RNC each system specifications are greater than the NodeB ability in BSC6910 RAN15.0.  TEP

NodeB and RNC configuration matching principle: Confidential

It’s necessary that the overall capacity of the RNC and the deployed configuration of each NodeB maximum capacity is match. This capacity is measured by the number of users that supported by the RNC and NodeB certain traffic model. The user number supported by the RNC hardware configuration = SUM (the user number supported by the NodeB hardware configuration) Output of the design LLD output (LLD based on the LLD template) NodeB name NodeB configuration

Hardware Distribution Design

3.1 Hardware Distribution Principle Purpose of board layout design:  performance.

Decrease the number of messages forwarded between subracks to improve the BSC



Balance the load between subracks to improve the anti-attack capability.



Reserve certain port redundancy to facilitate site adjustment and expansion.

 Deploy logical boards of the same type in a centralized manner to reduce interleaving with boards of different types.  Deploy electrical interface boards on one side and optical interface boards on the other side to facilitate cable connection.  Use different boards to provide 2G and 3G services to reduce the impact of software upgrade and board adjustment on services.  Allocate slots properly to maximize the board processing capability (the switching capability of the slots on the backplane differs).  Reduce inter-subrack signaling transfer. Ensure that the processing capabilities of the Abis interface board, A interface board, and embedded packet control unit (PCU) in the same subrack match each other. Recommended Layout Configuration  Assign EOMUa switch boards to slot 10 to 13. SCUb boards are assigned to slot 20 and 21, and EGPUa boards for resource management are assigned to slot 8 and 9. 

Assign GCUa/GCGa boards to slot 14 and 15.

 EGPUa/ESAUa boards can be inserted in other idle slots other than the fixed slots. The following assignment is recommended: −

TEP

Assign ESAUa boards to slot 0 and 1. Confidential

Preferred slots for EGPUa boards are slot 2 to 7 in MPS subrack; slot 0 to 13 in



EPS subrack.  −

The following assignment is recommended for GOUc/EXOUa boards: EXOUa boards can only be assigned to slot 16 to 19 and slot 22 to 25.

− Preferred slots for GOUc boards are slot 16 to 19 and slot 22 to 25. When these slots are inadequate, they can be assigned to slot 26 to 27.

The Iu/Iur interface board processes the messages and then sends them to the EGPUa board in the same subrack for processing. See signal flow 1 in the figure. If the EGPUa board in the same subrack as the Iu/Iur interface board cannot process the messages, the messages are switched by the MPS to the EGPUa board in another subrack. See signal flow 2 in the figure. After being processed by the Iu/Iur interface board, the messages are directly switched by the MPS to the EGPUa board in another subrack. See signal flow 3 in the figure. The uplink flow is the reverse of the downlink flow.

Naming Design

Huawei recommended the NE name was consist of letter and number, and NE name cannot contain special characters such as @, #, !, %, ^, &, *, .[], /\, and “”. In addition, the names must be unique in the entire network irrespective of whether the original naming rule or the naming rule recommended by Huawei. ( Note: All the sites naming will be finalized after detailed site survey and LLD by ethio telecom) 4.1

BSC/RNC Naming Huawei recommended the NE name was consistent of letter and number, and NE name cannot contain

special characters such as @, #, , %, ^, &, *, [], and “”. In addition, the names must be unique in the entire network irrespective of whether the original naming rule or the naming rule recommended by Huawei is used. The new naming combination that will be used as 

“A & B &C” represents the short name of geographical location where BSC/RNC installed TEP

“ C ” represents the Node Type – value range=R or B; R for RNC and B for BSC



“H”represents the code for Huawei equipment



“XX”is a two digits number that indicates the numerical sequence for nodes in this area, value range from 0 to 99. Table 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 BSC Naming BSC Name AAZBH01 SRRH02

Explanation 1st Huawei BSC in Addis Ababa region 2nd Huawei RNC in SR region

BSC EOMUa Naming. For BSC6910, each EOMUa card will occupy 2 slots. The active and standby EOMUa will be installed in slot10~13. 

The following naming rules recommended by Huawei: EOMUa_Slot No._ BSC

BAM Name EOMUa_S10_ AAZBH01 EOMUa_S12_ AAZBH01

EOMUa name should be the same with the name of SQL Server installed

BTS Naming Generally, the number of BTSs is large. Therefore, to simplify the BTS names. Name BTSs as follows: A stands for the name of area where the BTS is located, or the name of the property company that manages the area where the BTS is located. B stands for the BTS ID. For example, BTS2 located in Parkview named “Parkview2”.

4.2 eNodeB Naming Design Preferably an eNodeB name should reflect the geographical location or area of the eNodeB. Therefore, the recommended eNodeB naming rule is: eNodeB geographical area + site type + '_' + serial number. Examples as below:

TEP

Confidential

If the eNodeB geographical area name can be abbreviated, the abbreviated name is recommended. For example, Shanghai Jinqiao is abbreviated as JQ. If all the eNodeBs of a delivery project are of the same type, there is no need to specify the site type. If there is only one eNodeB in the area, there is no need to specify the serial number. If there are multiple eNodeBs, it is recommended that the serial number begin from 1. Discuss with the customer about the information that the customer wants to contain in the eNodeB name. Huawei eNodeB supports a maximum of 64 characters. The character string cannot be all blank or contain any of the following characters: ? : , & * / \ | '' ;= + two or more blanks, or two or more percent signs (%). The eNodeB naming rule must reflect the information that the customer wants to represent and should ensure unique names in the entire network. The EPCs of Nokia-Siemens and Alcatel-Lucent do not support the underline in the eNodeB name. Keep this rule in mind if Huawei eNodeBs need to connect to Nokia-Siemens or Alcatel-Lucent EPCs. If this rule is violated, the S1 interface will be faulty. Huawei EPC has no such rule.

4.3 Cell Naming Design For easy management and memory of cell names, it is recommended that the cell names be planned on the basis of eNodeB names. The recommended cell naming rule is: eNodeB name + '_' + Cell + serial number. Examples as below:

Determine where the serial number begins from 1. If multiple frequencies are used by the customer network, the serial number can be planned by the following rule: First frequency: serial number 1 to 5; second frequency: serial number 6 to 10. Discuss with the customer about the information that the customer wants to contain in the cell name. Huawei eNodeB supports a maximum of 99 characters in a cell name. The character string cannot be all blank or contain any of the following characters: ',', ';', '=', '"', ''', '', '!', '?', '\', two or more blanks, two or more %. The cell naming rule must reflect the information that the customer wants to represent and should ensure unique names in the entire network.

M2000 Software Structure and Interface

Huawei NMS solution: iManager M2000 supports the centralized O&M of CS, PS core, BSS, UTRAN and GERAN system, through OM network. Huawei has centralized OMC solution for GSM&UMTS based on unified platform regarding of network construction, management, network planning, performance evaluation and trouble shooting, etc. As shown in following figure, the M2000 software is classified into the following types: 

 M2000 server software



 M2000 client software



 NE mediation software

NE mediation software varies according to the NE version. Through the adaptation of the NE mediation software, the M2000 connects to the NE of the corresponding version.

TEP

Confidential

To interconnect with external systems and software, the M2000 provides the following interfaces: 

 CORBA interface

The CORBA interface is based on CORBA interface specifications and is in compliance with 3GPP R6 specifications. Through the CORBA interface, the NMS manages M2000 alarms, sets performance measurement tasks, queries M2000 configuration data, and queries and delivers configuration parameters in batches. 

 CORBA security interface

Through the CORBA security interface, the NMS manages M2000 users and user rights, such as creating users and maintaining user information. 

File interface

The M2000 saves alarm data, performance data, configuration data, inventory data, and LTE tracing data as files. Through the file interface, the NMS obtains and processes these files. The NMS can use the configuration file interface to obtain configuration data from the M2000. In addition, after the CME is installed, the configuration file interface can be used to integrate the data planning tools of telecom operators into the M2000. In that way,data planning, modification, and activation are automatically performed through the configuration file interface. The configuration file interface is applicable to OM scenarios, such as site creation, site relocation, network parameter optimization, and the optimization of neighboring cell relationships. 

 Alarm streaming interface

The M2000 forwards NE alarms to the NMS in the form of character stream in real time.The NMS can actively obtain the list of active alarms from the M2000. 

TEP

 SNMP interface Confidential

Through the SNMP alarm interface, the M2000 forwards alarms to the NMS for handling in real time. The SNMP interface supports the SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 protocols. 

 XML interface

Complying with the TMF MTOSI 2.0 series standards, the XML NBI enables the M2000 to provide unified alarm, performance, inventory, service provisioning, diagnostic test, and protection group management on transport and IP equipment for OSSs. 

 MML transparent transmission interface

The MML transparent transmission interface serves as a proxy for transferring MML commands between the NMS and NEs. With this interface, the NMS can operate and maintain the related NEs using MML commands. 

 Syslog interface

The M2000 forwards operating system logs, M2000 logs, and NE logs using the Syslogprotocol. 

 LDAP user management interface

This interface complies with LDAP. Through this interface, the security management system provided by a third party can create, modify, delete, and query Huawei OSS systems accounts. 

 LDAP user authentication interface

This interface supports the account authentication based on LDAP as well as remote authentication of user names and passwords. 

 RADIUS user authentication interface

This interface supports the account authentication based on RADIUS as well as remote authentication of user names and passwords. 

 Northbound line test interface

The line test system connects to the NEs managed by the M2000 server through the northbound interfaces for line test. In this way, the line test system works with the NEs to automatically handle and manage subscriber complaints, conduct test, and rectifyfaults. 

 TL1 northbound interface

The TL1 northbound interface of the M2000 is used to interconnect the EMS with the OSS. By using the TL1 northbound interface, the OSS or NMS can provide services and perform OM operations for integrated access devices (IADs), multimedia terminals, voice subscribers, basic rate access (BRA) subscribers, primary rate adaptation (PRA) subscribers, and multimedia subscribers. In addition, the OSS or NMS manages NGN resources and services of the SHLR, AGCF and SoftX3000 by using the TL1 northbound interface. NEs report notification messages to the OSS or NMS by using the TL1 northbound interface of the M2000. Radio access networks (RANs) are divided into three layers: NE layer (NEL), element management layer (EML), and network management layer (NML). Accordingly, SingleRAN configuration management has three layers: NE configuration, subnet configuration management, and network configuration management. 

NE configuration

TEP

Confidential

Huawei provides various clients that support man-machine language (MML) interfaces, including the web-based LMT (Web LMT) and MML command-line interface integrated with the M2000. Such clients allow you to run MML scripts to fine-tune NE configuration parameters. You can also modify NE configuration parameters on the Configuration Management Express (CME) through the southbound interface. 

Subnet configuration management Huawei provides the CME, a professional configuration solution used to perform EMS-layer configuration management. The CME helps you centrally manage a SingleRAN network. The CME provides scenario-based templates and foolproof wizards, which allow you to efficiently migrate base stations, adjust networks, and check for consistency between parameter settings. The CME is recommended for configuration operations rather than Web LMT.



Network configuration management NMS-layer configuration management is a configuration solution for the entire network. The northbound interface allows EMSs from different vendors to be connected to the telecom operator's NMS. Huawei CME is connected to the NMS through the northbound interface. The telecom operator usually has a comprehensive evaluation system in the NMS for parameter planning. After the planning system determines the parameters to be optimized, you can send the modified parameter information to the CME through the northbound interface. The CME then modifies the parameters for NEs. This greatly improves end-to-end O&M efficiency and reduces the operating expense (OPEX). Following shows the configuration management structure.

Considering different departments and network management for the radio and CN, we suggest provide separated NMS for radio and CN: one set of NMS for GSM/UMTS and LTE in the future; another NMS for all CN equipments (MSS, MGW, SGSN, GGSN, HLR, STP, etc)

Commissioning IP address

This is not a common scenario. In this scenario, the commissioning is commonly performed through the portable computer connected to the BAM using an Ethernet cable.

Before delivery, these IP addresses should be planned and set for each BAM: the internal fixed IP address, internal virtual IP address, external fixed IP address, and commissioning IP address, and also backup channel IP addresses of the BAMs (if two OMUa board are configured). Usually, there is no need to modify the default internal network IP addresses. Therefore we can consider that the Virtual, Active BAM IP and Standby BAM IP addresses should be planned.

5.4

This section describes the design and configuration of eNodeB operation and maintenance. This includes the eNodeB OM IP design, OMCH design, OM security design, and time synchronization design.

5.4.1

eNodeB OM IP Address Design

Scenario: The OMCH of the eNodeB is connected to the Ethernet port with IPSec disabled. It is recommended that the OM IP address of the eNodeB and the Ethernet interface IP address (whose port type is ETH or ETHTRK) use the same IP address. TEP

Confidential

If the OM IP address is a logical IP address, you can directly run the ADD OMCH command; the ADD DEVIP command is not needed. 5.4.2

eNodeB OMCH Design

The eNodeB OMCH design includes the DSCP of the OMCH, DHCP. DSCP of the OMCH

Huawei recommend to set high priority for the OMCH. The DSCP value range is 0 to 63. The recommended DSCP value for the OMCH is 46 (for MML commands) and 18 (for FTP services). The following is a command for setting these values: SET DIFPRI: PRIRULE=DSCP, OMHIGHPRI=46, OMLOWPRI=18; 5.4.3

NTP Synchronization Design

5.4.3.1

NTP Overview

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is an application layer protocol for time synchronization between the distributed time server and the clients. It provides time synchronization for the network devices so that the devices can provide multiple applications based on synchronous time. The NTP is based on user datagram protocol; the available port numbers are 123 to 5999 and 6100 to 65534; the default value is 123. It is recommended that the NTP time synchronization period be set two 360 minutes. 5.4.3.2

NTP Server Selection Policies

The selection of the NTP server is determined by the actual situation. The order of preference is  GPS  Private NTP server  The M2000 Server We will use the M2000 as the NTP server for eNodeB time synchronization.. 5.4.3.3

NNTP Server Configurations

For the configurations on the M2000, see the M2000 manual. The commands for configuring the NTP on the eNodeB are as follows: 1.

SET TIMESRC: TIMESRC=NTP; //Sets the NTP server as the clock source.

2.

SET TZ: ZONET=GMT+0800, DST=NO;

3.

ADD NTPC: MODE=IPV4, IP="10.10.10.1", PORT=123, SYNCCYCLE=60, AUTHMODE=PLAIN;

6.1 A Interface Design 6.1.1

Interconnection Solution Description

For A interface, the GOUc boards will be used as the interface board and the following solution will be deployed: Transmission pool of active/standby interface boards with manual active/standby LAG.

 The BSC connects to RT1 and RT2 routers through the manual active/standby LAG on the active and standby interface boards. Data is transmitted and received through the active port. The logical IP addresses on multiple pairs of active/standby interface boards form an IP pool.  VRRP is configured between the routers as the next hop of the BSC. VRRP heartbeats are transmitted over the trunk between RT1 and RT2.  The signaling plane and the user plane share a physical port, while the bearer network isolates the signaling plane and user plane of the A/IuCS interface with different VPNs. Accordingly, different VLANs and interface IPs should be made available on the BSC side (for the signaling interface, a separate interface IP address is configured: IP111 and VLAN; for the user plane, a separate IP address is configured: IP131 and VLAN; for the signaling plane of the standby board, a separate interface IP address is configured: IP121 and VLAN; and for the user plane, a separate interface IP address is configured: IP141 and VLAN.)

IP/VLAN/Routing Planning

6.1.2.1 Physical ports  For the BSC interface boards and the Ethernet ports of RT1 and RT2, enable the auto-negotiation mechanism.  Ports related to the VRRP on RT1 and RT2, including ports connecting the BSC and the trunk ports between the routers, must be configured as Layer 2 ports. Besides, given that traffic may be forwarded between RT1 and RT2 and the VRRP heartbeat link must be reliable, the trunk bandwidth must be greater than 50% of the total BSC traffic, and at least two GE ports should be aggregated.  BSC ports in even slots must be connected to high-priority routers to increase the consistency between the active paths of the BSC and routers. 6.1.2.2 IP addresses and VLAN For details about the configuration of the IP addresses and VLAN, see . The BSC port IP address (IP111), RT1 VLANIF IP address (IP112), RT2 VLANIF IP address (IP113), and VRRP virtual IP address (IP110) must be on the same network segment. That is, at least four IP addresses are required, using a 29-bit mask. For good scalability, logical IP addresses (DEV IP) are used for the service IP addresses of the BSC. The VLAN is divided based on the signaling plane and service plane, and different VLANs correspond to different VRRP groups in the router. Table2-22 IP address and VLAN Planning Equipment BSC

Each BTS is configured with an independent logical IP address. Each CS service channel, RSL, OML, and ESL is allocated with a UDP port number. For the PS service, each TRX is allocated with a UDP port number. On the BSC side, a fixed UDP port number is used, and the UDP port number on the BTS side is used to distinguish CS and PS signaling/O&M messages. Abis over IP interface protocol

Abis Port Allocation Design

Port allocation principal: 

Subrack-based Abis port planning by LAC

To minimize the inter-subrack signaling traffic caused due to inter-cell handover and paging forwarding, plan the BTSs in the same LAC to the same BM subrack as possible as you can. 

Discontinuous BTS distribution in a subrack (optional)

The BTSs in a subrack can be distributed between boards in a discontinuous manner. Overlapping coverage exists between adjacent cells. Based on discontinuous BTS distribution, adjacent BTSs are distributed to different Abis interface boards. When a board is faulty, the BTS under it is out of service but the overlapping coverage of the peripheral cells can still ensure services to a certain degree. This can minimize the impacts of board faults. TEP

Confidential

The BTS must be evenly distributed to different interface boards based on the station module to ensure load balance among boards. Batch site establishment



For certain projects, sites need to be established in batches due to transmission providing capabilities, engineering implementation capabilities and customer requirements.

heartbeats are transmitted over the trunk between RT1 and RT2. 

The signaling plane and the user plane share a physical port, while the bearer

network isolates the signaling plane and user plane of the IuCS interface with different VPNs. Accordingly, different VLANs and interface IPs should be made available on the RNC side (for the signaling interface, a separate interface IP address is configured: IP111 and VLAN; for the user plane, a separate IP address is configured: IP131 and VLAN; for the signaling plane of the standby board, a separate interface IP address is configured: IP121 and VLAN; and for the user plane, a separate interface IP address is configured: IP141 and VLAN.)

Interconnection Solution Description

For IuPS interface, two pairs of the EXOUa boards will be used as the interface board and the following solution will be deployed: Transmission pool of active/standby interface boards with manual active/standby LAG.



The RNC connects to RT1 and RT2 routers through the manual active/standby LAG

on the active and standby interface boards. Data is transmitted and received through the active port. The logical IP addresses on multiple pairs of active/standby interface boards form an IP pool. 

VRRP is configured between the routers as the next hop of the RNC. VRRP

heartbeats are transmitted over the trunk between RT1 and RT2. 

TEP

The RNC and the SGSN are connected at Layer 3.

Confidential

The signaling plane and the user plane share a physical port, while the bearer



network isolates the signaling plane and user plane of the Iu-PS interface with different VPNs. Accordingly, different VLANs and interface IPs should be made available on the RNC side (for the signaling interface, a separate interface IP address is configured: IP111 and VLAN; for the user plane, a separate IP address is configured: IP131 and VLAN; for the signaling plane of the standby board, a separate interface IP address is configured: IP121 and VLAN; and for the user plane, a separate interface IP address is configured: IP141 and VLAN.)

6.5.2 6.5.2.1

IP/VLAN/Routing Planning Physical ports

For the RNC interface boards and the Ethernet ports of RT1 and RT2, auto-



negotiation is recommended. Ports related to the VRRP on RT1 and RT2, including ports connecting the RNC and



the trunk between the routers, must be configured as Layer 2 ports. Besides, given that traffic may be forwarded between RT1 and RT2 and the VRRP heartbeat link must be reliable, the trunk bandwidth must be greater than 50% of the total RNC traffic, and at least two GE ports should be aggregated. RNC ports in even slots must be connected to the VRRP router with higher priority



for better consistency between the active paths of the RNC and the routers. 6.5.2.2

IP addresses and VLAN

For details about the configuration of IP addresses and VLAN, see Table

 1.1.1.I.1.1.1.6.

− The RNC port IP address (IP111), RT1 VLANIF IP address (IP112), RT2 VLANIF IP address (IP113), and VRRP virtual IP address (IP110) must be on the same network segment. That is, at least four IP addresses are required, using a 29-bit mask. For good scalability, logical IP addresses (DEV IP) are used for the service IP addresses of the RNC. − The VLAN is divided based on the signaling plane and service plane, and different VLANs correspond to different VRRP groups in the router.

TEP

Confidential

Iub over IP protocol stack



Control plane The application protocol for the control plane of the Iub interface is the NodeB Application Part (NBAP). NBAP is responsible for the transport of control plane messages between the NodeB and the CRNC at the radio network layer. When Iub over IP is used, NBAP is carried on the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) link. Signaling messages carried on SCTP links are NCP and CCP signaling messages.



User plane The application protocols for the user plane of the Iub interface are a series of frame protocols: DCH FP, RACH FP, FACH FP, PCH FP, HS-DSCH FP, and E-DCH FP. These protocols are responsible for the transport of data and control frames between the NodeB and the CRNC. These frames contain Uu interface user data and user-related control data. For the BSC6910, when Iub over IP is used, the user plane data on the Iub interface is carried by the transmission resource pool.

 

For the BSC6910, the data link layer of Iub over IP supports IP over FE/GE/10GE. For the NodeB3900, the data link layer of Iub over IP supports IP over E1/T1 and IP over FE/GE/10GE. Iub Transmission topology as below:

For Iub interface, one pair of the EXOUa board will be used as the interface board and the following solution will be deployed: single IP address Pool of active/standby boards + manual active/standby LAGs.



The RNC connects to RT1 and RT2 routers through the manual active/standby LAG on the active and standby interface boards. Data is transmitted and received through the active port.VRRP IP addresses are configured between the dual routers, which function as the next hops of the RNC. Heartbeat messages are transmitted over the trunk between CE1 and CE2.



Logical IP address of the active/standby interface board of the RNC comprises an Single IP pool.



The NodeB is connected to the Ethernet network through a single Ethernet port.



The RNC uses layer-3 networking. 6.7.2 6.7.2.1



IP/VLAN/Routing Planning Physical Ports

It is recommended that the following Ethernet ports are configured in auto-

negotiation mode: Ethernet ports on the interface boards and Ethernet ports on RT1/RT2. 

Ports related to VRRP1 on RT1 and RT2, including ports on the RNC as well as the

Trunk between the routers, must be configured in L2 mode. Because the service traffic may be forwarded TEP

Confidential

between RT1 and RT2 and the reliability of the VRRP heartbeat links must be ensured, the Trunk bandwidth must be larger than 50% of the data traffic on the RNC and at least two GE interfaces are aggregated. RNC ports in even slots must be connected to the VRRP high-priority routers to



enhance the consistency between the active paths of the RNC and routers. Ports on the RNC do not support L2 switching. Therefore, the STP protocol is not



required on the peer device.(STP Disable) 6.7.2.2

IP Addresses and VLAN

The service IP addresses of the RNC/NodeB use logical IP addresses in the L3 networking. L2 ports on RT 1 and RT 2 for connecting to the RNC must be configured in Access mode. In this way, the VLAN does not need to be tagged for the RNC. Table 1.1.1.I.1.1.1.10 Configuration of IP addresses and VLANs

Subrack-based Iub port planning by LAC

To minimize the inter-subrack signaling traffic caused due to inter-cell handover and paging forwarding, plan the NodeBs in the same LAC to the same BM subrack as possible as you can. 

Discontinuous NodeB distribution in a subrack (optional)

The NodeBs in a subrack can be distributed between boards in a discontinuous manner. Overlapping coverage exists between adjacent cells. Based on discontinuous NodeB distribution, adjacent NodeBs are distributed to different Iub interface boards. When a board is faulty, the NodeB under it is out of service but the overlapping coverage of the peripheral cells can still ensure services to a certain degree. This can minimize the impacts of board faults. The NodeB must be evenly distributed to different interface boards based on the station module to ensure load balance among boards. 

Batch site establishment

For certain projects, sites need to be established in batches due to transmission providing capabilities, engineering implementation capabilities and customer requirements. Based on special requirements, the site distribution strategy can be adjusted. For the best results, abide by the principle of subrack-based Iub port planning by LAC. TEP

6.8 LTE Interface Design 6.8.1

Port Planning

UMPT provides electrical ports and optical ports, depending on the type of ports supported by transmission equipment. 6.8.1.1

Electrical Ports

An electrical port is referred to as Ethernet port. There are three types: 10 Mbit/s (obsolete), 100 Mbit/s, and gigabit/s. The type of ports used depends on the customer's transmission network planning, switch type, and transmission bandwidth planning. The FE/GE electrical ports use RJ45 connector and have a maximum transmission distance. If the eNodeB uses the FE/GE network cables to connect to the LAN switch, xDSL, microwave equipment, or routers, the maximum transmission distance of the network cables needs to be considered. LTE requires high transmission bandwidth (300 Mbit/s for demo sites and at least 100 Mbit/s for commercial sites). The gigabit network ports are recommended, considering the LTE bandwidth requirement and future capacity expansion. Alternatively, two 100 Mbit/s FE ports can be bundled and Ethernet link aggregation can be used to support load sharing and bandwidth expansion. Auto-negotiation mode must be used for gigabit full-duplex electrical ports. 6.8.1.2

 

Optical Ports

In light of LTE's demand for high bandwidth and the evolution trend of the transmission network, fiber access will become the mainstream access for LTE. At present, most companies' L3 switches support both electrical ports and optical ports; fiber access to the eNodeB is common. The UMPT of Huawei eNodeB provides FE/GE optical interfaces that support both single-mode and multimode optical cables. The maximum transmission distance of the multimode FE optical interface is 2 km and that of the single-mode FE optical interface is 15 km, 40 km, or 80 km, depending on the optical modules and cable standard. The maximum transmission distance of the multimode GE optical interface is 550 m and that of the single-mode GE optical interface is 15 km, 40 km, or 80 km. The optical interface can work in designated rate and duplex mode, or in auto-negotiation. Designated rate and duplex mode is recommended. The duplex mode and auto-negotiation mechanism of the eNodeB are described as follows: If the settings of the two optical ports are inconsistent, the auto-negotiation port is down. Therefore, the settings must be consistent. The two ports must be both auto-negotiation and both full-duplex. If the settings of the two electrical ports are inconsistent, for example, one auto-negotiation and the other gigabit full-duplex, the auto-negotiation port changes to the gigabit full-duplex mode. A restraint on the electrical ports is that auto-negotiation must be selected for gigabit electrical ports. The default attribute of the ports of the LTE products is auto-negotiation. This is also the recommended setting for the transmission network, though the transmission network does not necessarily use the recommended auto-negotiation. Considering the accidents caused by auto-negotiation failure at the preliminary UMTS stage, we recommend that you ensure consistency with the peer transmission equipment by specifying the duplex mode and rate for the ports of both the eNodeB and the peer transmission

TEP

Confidential

equipment. If gigabit optical ports are used, specify gigabit full-duplex for both ports and avoid autonegotiation. If gigabit electrical ports are used, you have to specify auto-negotiation. 6.8.2

S1/X2 Interface Planning

1. X2 According to 3GPP, X2 interface is used for handover between eNodeBs. For the eNodeBs under the same L3 router, X2 forwarding can be done within the same router 2. For eNodeBs under different Routers, X2 forwarding through routers 3. It’s recommended that all X2 traffic is configured to one logical port. 4. S1-Flex enabled from a single eNodeB to MME/SGW Pool

IP Address Planning

6.8.3.1

IP Address Planning Policies and Principles



For the sake of saving physical resources, use one physical port only.



Considering the high bandwidth required by LTE and future expansion, gigabit optical ports or gigabit electrical ports are recommended.



For non-IPSec networking, for the sake of saving address resource, route planning, and future maintenance, the recommended configuration is three IP addresses for each eNodeB, one for S1/X2-CP, one for S1/X2-UP and one for OM/clock. If the address resource is insufficient, one eNodeB uses only one IP address.



Take into account VLAN planning when considering IP address planning.

To configure an interface IP addresses for the OMCH, run both the ADD DEVIP and ADD OMCH commands, where the ADD OMCH command uses the address specified by the ADD DEVIP command. To configure a logical IP address for an OMCH, run the ADD OMCH command only. This command does not use the address specified by the ADD DEVIP command. 6.8.3.2    

VLAN Planning

The nodes of a local area network are divided into logical network segments (virtual local area networks (VLANs)). That is, a physical LAN is logically divided into multiple broadcast domains (IEEE802.1Q). The broadcast traffic in a VLAN is not forwarded to other VLANs, preventing broadcast storm. VLAN also provides security. Different VLANs cannot access each other at layer 2; VLAN tags indicate priorities at layer 2. 6.8.5.1

VLAN Priorities

The value range of the VLAN priority is 0 (lowest priority) to 7 (highest priority). VLAN tags can be configured on the eNodeB or the intermediary equipment, preferentially the eNodeB. The following table lists the mapping between the differentiated service code points (DSCPs) and the VLAN priorities. PHB EF EF EF AF4 AF3 AF2 AF1 BE

DSCP Value Range 56~63 48~55 40~47 32~39 24~31 16~23 8~15 0~7

VLAN Priority 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

The abbreviations are explained as follows: PHB: pre-hop behavior EF: expedited forwarding AF: assured forwarding BE: best effort CoS: Class of Service, a concept in the transmission equipment. In CoS, packets are scheduled to queues of different priorities to ensure that packets with different priorities obtain different QoS treatment, including delay and bandwidth. You need to discuss with the transmission network engineers about the mapping from VLAN priorities to the COS and the VLAN allocations, including the VLAN attribute of the ports (such as access ports, trunk ports, or hybrid ports), and allocated VLANs. 6.8.5.2

VLAN Configuration

To configure the VLAN, perform the following steps: Step 1: Set DSCP values for all services. (This step is optional and required based on onsite requirements.) 1.

Run the following command to set DSCP values for signaling, OM service, and clock service:

SET DIFPRI:PRIRULE=DSCP,SIGPRI=46,OMHIGHPRI=46,OMLOWPRI=14,IPCLKPRI=46; TEP

Confidential

2.

Run the following command to set DSCP values for services at the user plane. The DSCP value of the service whose QCI is 1 is used as an example in the command. ADD UDTPARAGRP:UDTPARAGRPID=0,PRIRULE=DSCP,PRI=46, ADD UDT:UDTNO=1,UDTPARAGRPID=0; Step 2: Run the following command to set the VLAN information for the next hop: ADD VLANMAP: NEXTHOPIP="10.10.10.10", MASK="255.255.255.252", VLANMODE=SINGLEVLAN VLANID=100,SETPRIO=DISABLE; The commands in Step 3, instead of the command in Step 2, are used to set the VLAN priority for the next-hop service. Step 3: Run the following commands to configure the mapping between DSCP values and VLAN priorities (optional and required based on onsite requirements): SET DSCPMAP: DSCP=46, VLANPRIO=5; SET DSCPMAP: DSCP=34, VLANPRIO=4; SET DSCPMAP: DSCP=26, VLANPRIO=3; SET DSCPMAP: DSCP=18, VLANPRIO=2; ----End 6.8.6

QoS Design

7.1 Qos overview The quality of service (QoS) of an IP network refers to the capability of the network. The IP network that traverses multiple bottom network technologies (multi-link protocol, frame relay, asynchronous transfer mode, Ethernet, synchronous digital hierarchy, and multiprotocol label switching) provides services of preset and expected QoS in terms of packet loss rate, delay, jitter, and bandwidth. QoS requirements of all interfaces of IP transmission as below: 7.1.1
