All-in-One. 5G LTE Radio Configuration User Manual

This document describes the configuration of the All-in-One. 5G LTE eNodeB (eNB) for software version BaiBS_QRTA_2.11.x_RAK. It explains how to configure the device after installation.

Overview

The All-in-One. 5G LTE eNodeB (eNB) is loaded with its own GUI for configuring its operating parameters. You can log in to the GUI locally through the Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT), an Ethernet port, or remotely via an IP address.

When configuring a newly installed eNB, refer to the recommended configuration flow shown in Figure 1.

Figure 21: eNB Configuration Flow

Before configuring the eNB’s data, data planning must be done first. The data to configure the eNB includes local parameters and network parameters. These parameters are either provided by the user or determined after negotiation with the customers.

The data to prepare includes transmission parameters, wireless parameters, operation and maintenance parameters, and software version.

If the eNB works in SAS mode, set the Country Code to USA-FCC (CBRS).

Before logging into the Web client, the client computer’s IP address needs to be set up first so that the connection between the client and the server is possible.

Take Windows 7 as an example:

1. Click Start > Control Panel.
2. A window will pop up, then choose Network and Internet.
3. Click View network status and tasks, then select Local Connectivity.
4. In the Status of Local Connectivity, click Properties to see the Properties of Local Connectivity pop-up window.
5. Select Internet Protocol Version (TCP/IPV4), and click Properties to see the pop-up window, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 22: Internet Protocol version (TCP/IPV4)

6. Select either Obtain an IP address automatically or Use the following IP address.
   • If Obtain an IP address automatically is selected, go directly to Step 9.
   • If Use the following IP address is selected, follow Steps 7 to 9.

NOTE

In general, if auto-obtaining fails, you need to set up the IP address manually.

7. Select Use the following IP address.

8. Input the following, and then click OK:

   • IP address: 192.168.150.XXX: (recommended XXX: 100~254)

This field may be used in situations where you need to reduce the output power, such as testing the eNB before installing it on a tower. Restricting the eNB output to reduce interference with other eNBs in the same geographical area or staying within Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) rules. If the check box on the right is selected, you can configure any power.

LTE Setting

warning

It is not recommended to modify the advanced LTE parameters for common operators. It is better to keep the default values. For senior experts in need, proceed with extreme caution.

The LTE menu comprises various sub-menus that contain mobility and other radio-related settings. Efficient wireless network operations depend on several important LTE parameters.

When configuring an intra-frequency cell, you only need to configure the neighboring cell. However, when configuring an inter-frequency cell, you should first configure the neighbor frequency and then configure the neighbor cell.

Configure LTE Neighbor Frequency and Cell

1. To enter the LTE neighbor frequency and cell configuration page, go to LTE Setting and select LTE Freq/Cell.

Figure 55: LTE Neighbor Frequency/Cell Settings

• Users can add, modify, and delete the LTE neighbor frequency and cell. Up to eight (8) LTE neighbor frequencies and 16 LTE neighbor cells can be set.

NOTE

When the eNB operates in dual carrier mode, the LTE neighbor frequency and cell should be separately configured for cell1 and cell2.

Mobility Parameter

The Mobility Parameter menu pertains to how roaming UE sessions are handled between different eNBs in the same service area. When a UE is connected to an eNB, that eNB becomes the serving eNB or cell, while other eNBs in the vicinity are called neighbor or target eNBs or cells.

The process of a device moving from cell to cell and changing over from its serving eNB to a neighbor (target) eNB is called handoff or handover. The UE communicates with its serving eNB to perform cell selection and reselection based on the parameters that you specify for each eNB.

On the left navigation column, select LTE Setting > Mobility Parameter to enter the mobility parameter configuration page.

NOTE

When the eNB operates in dual carrier mode, the mobility parameters should be configured separately for cell1 and cell2.

Measurement Control Parameter

The Measurement Control parameters determine how frequently the UE measures the serving and neighboring eNB’s RSRP values and at what level of hysteresis-based RSRP triggers a handover. The UE evaluates the RF conditions around it and reports the information to the serving eNB. The eNB’s radio resource management function evaluates the measurements and determines whether or not to hand over the session to a neighbor eNB.

1. To display the measurement control parameters configuration parameters, click Measurement Control Parameters.
2. Click Save to complete the measurement control parameters setting.

Table 20: Measurement Control Parameter Description

Parameter	Description
Hysteresis	•This parameter refers to the hysteresis (historical records) of the handover measurement event. •The value is used to avoid the frequent triggering of cell handover evaluation due to the fluctuation in wireless signals. This setting tells the UE, if you hear another eNB with at least this amount of dB or better, to initiate a handover. The lower the number the sooner the handover is initiated. If set too low, it may cause the UE to ping-pong between eNBs. •Range from 0 to 30 dB. The default is 0. In this example, the recommended value is 5 dB.
Time To Trigger	Length of time the target cell RSRP value is better than the serving cell before the UE initiates a handover request.

Table 21: Cell Selection Parameter Description

Parameter	Description
Qrxlevmin ()	•The minimum acceptable signal level at the UE before cell selection. •Defining this parameter prevents the UE from accessing a cell with a low receiving signal level. The value of this parameter needs to take factors such as cell size, cell coverage, and background noise into consideration. •Reducing the parameter value will expand the allowable access range of the cell, but it may result in poor call quality.
QrxlevminOffset	•The minimum level offset (difference) in RSRP at the UE needed for cell selection. •When the UE residing on a VPLMN periodically searches for a higher-level cell, the minimum threshold value is offset to prevent ping-pong effect.

Cell Reselection Parameter

When a UE is in idle state, it needs to select a better cell by monitoring the signal quality of the neighbor cell and the serving cell. Cell reselection includes the intra-frequency cell reselection and the inter-frequency cell reselection.

The intra-frequency cell reselection mainly solves the problem of wireless coverage. The inter-frequency cell reselection can solve the problem of wireless coverage, but also achieve load balancing between different frequency points.

S-NonIntraSearch	Inter-frequency measurement threshold that must be met before the UE will reselect a neighbor eNB.
Qrxlevmin()	•The minimum level for re-selection •Range is -70 to -22 (integer). •In this example, the recommended value is -62 (integer), which means -62*2 = -124 dB.
Qhyst	•Delay time for re-selection. Generally the value of the parameter is 2. •This parameter will overestimate the signal strength of the serving cell to delay the cell reselection.
Reselection Priority	•Priority for the reselection. •Range is 0 to 7. In this example, the recommended value is 4.

QoS Algorithm

• Different QoS is provided for different data bearer categories. Each data bearer category is associated with a QoS Class Identifier (QCI).

Signaling Trace

The Signaling Trace function is typically used for troubleshooting UE attachment and handover issues. It captures RRC and SCTP packets in real-time and sends them to a remote computer running Wireshark or a local OMC for analysis.

RRC is a protocol that regulates UE and eNB over-the-air communication. It is especially important during mobility scenarios when a mobile user is handed off from one eNB to another.

On the other hand, SCTP is a transport protocol layer for the S1-MME signaling bear. It is responsible for various tasks, such as:

• Evolved Packet System (EPS) bearer setup, modification, and release
• Handover procedures
• Non-Access Stratum (NAS) signaling transport
• Paging procedures
