2.1 Capacity and Performance
2.1.1 RNC
BSC6900 is the RNC model for RAN13.0.
Overview
Compared with RAN12.0 BSC6900, RAN13.0 BSC6900 provides improved capacity: Busy Hour Call Attempt (BHCA) Traffic volume (Erlang) PS throughput (UL+DL) (Mbit/s)
Table 2-1 describes the RAN13.0 BSC6900 capacity. For more information, see the RAN13.0 BSC6900 Product Description. Table 2-1 RAN13.0 BSC6900 capacity Item BHCA (K) Traffic volume (Erlang) PS throughput (UL+DL) (Mbit/s) Specification 3720 (using the balanced traffic model in Table 2-2) 100,500 24,000
The preceding specifications of the RAN13.0 BSC6900 are based on the condition that HW69 R13 hardware is configured. Note that traffic volume and PS throughput cannot reach the maximum at the same time. PS throughput is based on UL rate of 64 kbit/s and DL rate of 384 kbit/s.
Table 2-2 describes the balanced traffic model for the RAN13.0 BSC6900 UMTS.
Issue 06 (2012-11-30)

2.1.2 NodeB
Compared with RAN 12.0, 3900 series base stations of RAN 13.0 have improved in capacity specifications. DBS3900, BTS3900, BTS3900A, and BTS3900L of RAN 13.0 support a maximum of 2304 CEs, increased by 50% as compared with 1536 CEs supported by RAN12.0.
2.1.3 M2000
RAN13.0 M2000 can manage up to 50,000 UMTS cells, the same amount as RAN12.0 M2000.
2.2 Hardware
2.2.1 RNC
RAN13.0 BSC6900 introduces the following new boards:
Table 2-3 briefly describes the functions of the OMUc, SCUb and NIUa.

2 Overview
Table 2-3 RAN13.0 BSC6900 new boards Board Name OMUc Board Type Operation and maintenance board Function
Provides configuration management, performance management, fault management, security management, and loading management functions for the BSC6900 Provides an OM interface for communication between the LMT/M2000 and the BSC6900. Provides online help information.
One OMUc occupies only one slot and can be configured with one hard disk.
SCUb
Enables MAC switching and GE switching, supporting both ATM and IP networks Provides data switching channels Provides configuration and maintenance for a subrack or BSC6900 Distributes clock signals for the BSC6900
The SCUb provides a switching capacity of 240 Gbit/s, which is a 400% increase over the capacity of the SCUa.
NIUa
Provides the service identification function Works with the service processing boards to schedule different types of services
2.2.2 NodeB
A new hardware model BTS3902E is added to RAN13.0 NodeB family.
2.2.3 M2000
The M2000 compatible with RAN13.0 is iManager M2000-II V200R011. For a commercial network, iManager M2000-II V200R010 is upgraded to iManager M2000II V200R011 without changing the hardware. For a newly deployed network, iManager M2000-II V200R011 is used and its hardware configuration is slightly different from iManager M2000-II V200R010. For details, see the network impact report of iManager M2000-II V200R011.
2.3 Implementation

This feature allows one or both carriers to be configured with MIMO for 64QAM users. When one carrier is configured with 64QAM and MIMO, the theoretical peak rate reaches 63 Mbit/s. When both carriers are configured with 64QAM and MIMO, the theoretical peak rate reaches 84 Mbit/s. DC-HSDPA+MIMO applies to PS streaming services and best effort (BE) services.

Increased peak throughput per single user Compared with DC-HSDPA, DC-HSDPA+MIMO provides spatial multiplexing gain by using multiple antennas. Compared with MIMO, DC-HSDPA+MIMO enables the simultaneous use of two carriers. DC-HSDPA+MIMO increases the single-user peak rate from 28 Mbit/s to 56 Mbit/s (without 64QAM) and from 42 Mbit/s to 84 Mbit/s (with 64QAM).
Increased throughput of users at the cell edge DC-HSDPA+MIMO uses two carriers, and therefore doubles the throughput as compared with SC-MIMO.
CFG_HSDPA_DCMIMO_SWITCH is added to the parameter CfgSwitch in the RNC command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH.

4.13 WRFD-010712 Adaptive Configuration of Traffic Channel Power Offset for HSUPA (New/Optional)
4.13.1 Description
This feature is new in RAN13.0. This new feature is applicable to the HSUPA 10 ms Transmission Timing Interval (TTI) Best Effort (BE) service. When an HSUPA 10 ms TTI UE has a small target number of retransmissions (known as small retransmissions), this feature dynamically configures an optimal power offset for the traffic channel based on the changes in uplink load and throughput. This feature helps maintain the power of such a UE on the uplink DPCCH at an optimal level, thereby increasing the capacity of HSUPA cells with multiple HSUPA 10 ms TTI UEs. This feature significantly improves the capacity of HSUPA cells in a live network, where the feature WRFD-010641 HSUPA Adaptive Transmission is unavailable or UEs in HSUPA adaptive transmission mode cannot perform a large number of retransmissions (known as large retransmissions) due to insufficient channel elements (CEs). UEs in HSUPA adaptive transmission mode require twice the CEs. The offset of E-DPDCH power relative to DPCCH power is one of the major factors that determine the DPCCH power in the uplink. For an HSUPA 10 ms TTI UE in the small retransmission state, if the data rate is low, a high offset can be configured. This decreases the DPCCH power and reduces the DPCCH load. After the load is reduced, UEs can transmit more data in the uplink, thereby increasing the capacity of HSUPA cells. If the data rate is high, a low offset can be configured. This increases the DPCCH power, thereby meeting the power requirements of multipath searching and channel estimation and ensuring high performance of HSUPA services. When the feature WRFD-010641 HSUPA Adaptive Transmission enables HSUPA 10 ms TTI UEs to be in the large retransmission state, the offset of the E-DPDCH power relative to the DPCCH power is not adjusted. In such a case, the gain of HSUPA adaptive transmission is not affected. The feature WRFD-010641 HSUPA Adaptive Transmission increases cell capacity at the cost of more CE consumption. In contrast, this feature does not require more CE consumption to increase the cell capacity. This feature and the feature WRFD-010641 HSUPA Adaptive Transmission are independent from each other, but they can be used together. This feature is not applicable to 2 ms HSUPA services because in commercial networks 10 ms UEs account for the majority of HSUPA UEs and 2 ms UEs can be reconfigured as 10 ms UEs in heavily loaded networks.

uplink enhanced CELL_FACH, which provides significantly higher data rates, enables quick resource allocation and release. Also, there are currently a small number of UEs in the uplink enhanced CELL_FACH state in commercial networks. This feature reduces uplink interference in the case of continuous data transmission because uplink enhanced CELL_FACH requires less physical random access procedures than nonenhanced uplink CELL_FACH. Uplink enhanced CELL_FACH can further improve uplink system capacity if more UEs can be configured in the CELL_FACH state.
Network Performance
This feature has the following impacts on network performance:
Shorter service setup delay The delay for a UE to switch from idle mode to the CELL_DCH state to establish services is shortened.
Shorter state transition delay The delay for a UE to switch from the CELL_FACH state to CELL_DCH state is shortened.
Higher uplink data rates The theoretical peak rate reaches 5.76 Mbit/s.
When used together with uplink enhanced layer 2, this feature provides better coverage for signaling and traffic when using the 10 ms TTI in the enhanced uplink CELL_FACH state than in the uplink non-enhanced CELL_FACH state. When using the 2 ms TTI in the enhanced uplink CELL_FACH state, this feature provides smaller coverage for signaling than in the uplink non-enhanced CELL_FACH state. The coverage for traffic is not affected.

Network Performance
This feature reduces the power consumption of the receivers of UEs in the enhanced CELL_FACH state. The power consumption reduction depends on parameter settings, the amount of transmitted data, and specific implementation of UE manufacturers. With enhanced DRX, the UTRAN sends data to UEs in the enhanced CELL_FACH state only at user-specified times, which leads to a slight increase in transmission delay.

SecCellHUserNumThd: specifies the threshold for the number of downlink HSDPA users in a DC-HSDPA secondary cell. A larger value indicates a lower possibility that services of HSDPA users are carried by MIMO. A smaller value indicates a higher possibility that services of HSDPA users are carried by MIMO.
Network Performance
Impact on network coverage The RTWP threshold after IC remains the same as that before the IC feature is introduced and therefore this feature does not have negative impact on the cell coverage. The neighboring cells, controlled by the RTWP threshold, do not affect the cell coverage either, regardless of whether they are enabled with IC or not.
Impact on network capacity This feature increases the RTWP before IC, thereby causing stronger interference to the neighboring cells. If the neighboring cells are enabled with this feature and the parameters are set to the same value as the serving cell, the neighboring cell capacity will not be affected. If the neighboring cells are not enabled with this feature no matter whether they are enabled with IC or not, the neighboring cell capacity will decrease because of the stronger interference from the serving cell.
It is recommended that this feature be enabled for contiguous areas. The capacity of neighboring cells at the edge of the areas must not be limited.

4.21 WRFD-010713 Traffic-Based Activation and Deactivation of the Supplementary Carrier In Multicarrier (New/Optional)
4.21.1 Description
This feature is new in RAN13.0. The NodeB decides whether to deactivate the secondary carrier of a UE based on the amount of data to be transmitted by the UE and the throughput of the UE. Given a small amount of data and low throughput, the NodeB deactivates the secondary carrier and sends an HS-SCCH order to notify the UE of the deactivation. When the data amount or the throughput becomes high, the NodeB reactivates the secondary carrier and sends an HS-SCCH order to notify the UE of the reactivation.
Issue 06 (2012-11-30)
48
Network Performance
After the secondary carrier of a UE is deactivated, the UE only needs to demodulate the signals transmitted on the primary carrier, and the transmit power of the UE on the HSDPCCH can be reduced by about 2 dB. Therefore, the uplink load of the cell is lightened. For example, in scenarios with many DC-HSDPA users and low traffic in the downlink, deactivating the secondary carrier can reduce the uplink load of the cell by 5% to 10% when the penetration rate of DC-HSDPA UEs reaches 100%.
Differentiated services in HSDPA scheduling on the Uu interface and flow control on the Iub interface are based on SPI weight. Large-SPI-weight users can have more power and code resources on the Uu interface and higher Iub bandwidth than small-SPI-weight

users, thereby achieving higher downlink throughput. If the data source is sufficient for the two types of users with similar conditions (for example, configured with the same GBR and location) -- the ratio of their throughput approximates to the ratio of their SPI weight.
Increasing the SPI weight of users in weak coverage areas will increase the opportunity of scheduling, reduce the cell resource usage, and decrease the cell throughput. On the contrary, increasing the SPI weight of users in the areas with strong signals will increase the opportunity of scheduling, the cell resource usage, and the cell throughput.
Differentiated services in HSUPA scheduling on the Uu interface, flow control on the Iub interface, and CE scheduling are based on SPI weight. Large-SPI-weight users can have more load resources on the Uu interface, Iub bandwidth, and CE resources than smallSPI-weight users, thereby achieving higher uplink throughput. If the service rate is not limited in conditions such as user data source, transmit power, user capability, and QoS-related configurations, for example, GBR and MBR, the ratio of uplink throughput approximates to the ratio of SPI weight.
With the same number of users and configuration conditions, the uplink throughput of the system configured with service differentiation is higher than that of the system configured with service fairness.

ADD UOPERCAPARATERANGE, MOD UOPERCAPARATERANGE, RMV UOPERCAPARATERANGE, and LST UOPERCAPARATERANGE: used for adding, modifying, deleting, or querying telecom operator-oriented uplink/downlink rate references and rate thresholds. SET UCAPARATERANGE and LST UCAPARATERANGE: used for setting or querying RNC-oriented uplink/downlink rate references and rate thresholds.
The following RNC parameters are added to the commands ADD UOPERSPIWEIGHT, MOD UOPERSPIWEIGHT and SET USPIWEIGHT:
RateRangeSPIWeightInd: indicates whether to configure SPI weight by differentiating HSPA rate ranges. DlRateRange1SPIWeight to DlRateRange10SPIWeight: specify SPI weight for the downlink rate, ranging from 1 to 10. UlRateRange1SPIWeight to UlRateRange10SPIWeight: specify SPI weight for the uplink rate, ranging from 1 to 10.
To enable this feature, it must be determined in advance whether to distinguish SPI weightbased differentiated services provided by telecom operators.
Issue 06 (2012-11-30)

If SPI weight-related parameters have been configured for telecom operators, telecom operator-oriented commands take precedence over RNC-oriented commands. If such parameters are not configured, the RNC-oriented commands can be used.
Network Performance
This feature decreases the delay in web-page loading, significantly improving the user experience. The delay of FTP and P2P services, however, is prolonged because this feature increases the round trip time (RTT) of these services. FTP and P2P services are not delaysensitive; therefore, the user experience is subtly affected. This feature adjusts Scheduling Priority Indicator (SPI) weight for different services and affects the differentiated fairness of users accordingly. However, users using the same type of services are not affected. This feature is applicable only when the RNC must be configured with the NIUa board.

4.24 WRFD-020133 P2P Downloading Rate Control during Busy Hour (New/Optional)
4.24.1 Description
This feature is new in RAN13.0. As high-bandwidth mobile telecommunication systems grow rapidly, more and more users use P2P services to download music and video. Due to its high volume and long duration, P2P traffic consumes a large amount of system resources. This significantly increases operating costs and adversely affects the quality of other delay-sensitive services. This feature recognizes the common types of P2P download traffic by using the packet resolving function. When the system load is high, rate restriction rapidly limits the rate of P2P download services to release the occupied resources for other services. When the system load is low, resources for P2P are unrestricted and P2P services are still able to engage in high speed downloads. This allows multiple users and services to fully utilize network resources. This feature is applicable to P2P rate restrictions where HSDPA users take priority over other users and combined services take priority over other services.
Network Performance
This feature limits the P2P service rate, significantly improving the user experience of delaysensitive services. This feature increases the delay of P2P services while decreasing the RTT of other services. This feature adjusts SPI weight for different services based on the system congestion status, thereby affecting the differentiated fairness of users accordingly. This feature is applicable only when the RNC must be configured with the NIUa board.

The following description assumes that two carriers (carrier1 and carrier2) are used to carry UE services and data card services respectively. This feature impacts network performance in the following ways:
The RAB setup success rate may decrease. Assume that the parameter is set to allow data card services to be carried only by carrier2 to reduce impact on UE services. If carrier2 denies the admission request for data card services, the services cannot initiate RAB setup attempts on carrier1. The call drop rate may increase. Assume that R99 services and HSPA services are carried separately on carrier1 and carrier2 before this feature is applied. After this feature is applied, R99 services and HSPA services share one carrier (carrier1), and the high traffic volume of HSPA services will increase the carrier load and pose stronger interference on R99 services, which may increase the call drop rate of R99 services.

The DRD-based access success rate may be lower than the non-DRD-based access success rate. UEs are assigned different carriers by blind-handover-based DRD, which slightly decreases the DRD-based access success rate. The CPU load of the RNC may increase. Since the RNC needs to check the IMSI in each RAB setup procedure and periodic DRD procedure, the CPU load of the RNC increases when the IMSI ranges are complicated.

4.26 WRFD-020129 Service-Based PS Service Redirection from UMTS to LTE (Trial) (New/Optional)
4.26.1 Description
This trial feature is new in RAN13.0. If a UMTS/LTE dual-mode UE establishes services in a UMTS network, this feature allows the RNC to redirect the UE to an LTE network when the UE establishes the PS services only or the CS and PS combined services with CS services completed but PS services not. In a UMTS/LTE hybrid network where PS handover from UMTS to LTE is not supported this feature redirects the UEs that process only PS services from the UMTS network to the LTE network. To enable the UE to be directed from UMTS to LTE, the following conditions must be met:
Issue 06 (2012-11-30)
54
The conditions for PS handover from UMTS to LTE are met. The UE supports both UMTS and LTE. The UE is processing only PS services. The RAB assignment message from the SGSN does not indicate that PS services cannot be handed over to the LTE network.
The RNC carries the LTE frequency information in the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message and directs the UE to the LTE network.
Network Performance
This feature provides an alternative to PS handover. In a UMTS/LTE hybrid network that does not support PS handover from UMTS to LTE, this functionality redirects the UEs that process only PS services from the UMTS network to the LTE network. This improves the user experience of PS services.
HO_LTE_PS_OUT_SWITCH and HO_LTE_SERVICE_PS_OUT_SWITCH: added to the parameter HoSwitch in the command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH. These two switches are used for outgoing PS handover from UMTS to LTE and service-based handover from UMTS to LTE, respectively.
EUTRANSHIND: added to the commands ADD UTYPRABBASIC and MOD UTYPRABBASIC. The parameter specifies whether the PS services can be handed over to the LTE network. When EUTRANSHIND is set to HO_TO_EUTRAN_SHOULD_BE_PERFORM, the services can be handed over to the LTE network; otherwise, they cannot be handed over to the LTE network.

No impact.
VPLimitInd in the commands ADD UCELLSETUP, ADD UCELLQUICKSETUP, and MOD UCELLSETUP: used to specify whether to prohibit VP services. When the VPLimitInd parameter is set to TRUE, the VP service prohibition switch is turned on and therefore the VP services of the cell are prohibited. VPLimitInd in the commands ADD UEXT3GCELL and MOD UEXT3GCELL: used to specify whether a neighboring RNC cell restricts the VP services. When the VPLimitInd parameter is set to TRUE, the neighboring RNC cell prohibits VP services and such services cannot be handed over to this neighboring RNC cell.
No counter has been added for this feature. Users can use the relevant counters introduced in earlier versions for performance measurement.

considers the ratio of actual service rates of users to the GBR values. If the satisfaction degree of R99 users is higher than that of HSUPA users and reaches a certain preset threshold, the rate decrease of high-rate R99 BE services is triggered and the rate increase of low-rate R99 BE services is limited.
Network Performance
This feature may reduce CE resource consumption because the HSUPA service with higher CE resource utilization consumes less CE resources than the R99 service at the same rate. When this feature works, the CE resource consumption will decrease. In addition, this feature makes it less likely that a cell is in the load reshuffling (LDR) state and an LDR action is performed. This is because this feature triggers rate reduction for R99 BE users before the cell enters the LDR state.
BERateReduceOnFairnessSwitch: added to the commands ADD UCELLALGOSWITCH and MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH. When the parameter is set to ON, the RNC periodically compares the satisfaction degree between R99 and HSUPA users in a cell and triggers the rate decrease of BE services based on load types.
FairnessPeriodTimerLen: added to the command SET ULDCPERIOD to configure the fairness period. Within a fairness period, the RNC makes fairness decisions and determines whether to trigger the rate decrease of R99 BE services to improve user fairness.
FairnessThd: added to the commands ADD UCELLLDM and MOD UCELLLDM to configure the fairness throughput threshold.

Network Performance
Although this feature saves power, it may have the following impacts on network performance:
The risk of call drops and handover failures may increase because UEs must be handed over from a cell by using blind handover before the cell can be shut down. Low-priority user experience may deteriorate. Although the real-time rates of high-priority users in a new cell are ensured in the handover decision process, the handover users are scheduled in normal priority order. Therefore, if the number of users continues to increase, the rate of high-priority users may decrease because the number of carriers decreases.
DynShutDownType: added to configure the QoS-based carrier shutdown switch. HighPriSPI: added to configure the SPI for high-priority users.
The QoS-based carrier shutdown function takes effect only when the GBP measurement switch of both the serving cell and the inter-frequency same-coverage neighboring cell is turned on.

White-listing: With this function, only data sent from allowed peer IP addresses, at allowed ports, and in allowed protocols can access the NodeB. White-listing can also implement the ping denial function. White-listing enables the NodeB to discard Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets.

4.35 WRFD-021350 Independent Demodulation of Signals from Multiple RRUs in One Cell (New/Optional)
4.35.1 Description
This feature is new in RAN13.0.
Issue 06 (2012-11-30)
64
Independent demodulation of signals from multiple RRUs in one cell enables the signals from multiple RRUs to be demodulated independently and combined within a BBU. This feature effectively reduces the number of handovers between cells. In the uplink, the NodeB performs independent demodulation and combination of signals from multiple RRUs within a BBU. In the downlink, the NodeB multiplexes the signals of a cell to multiple RRUs. Each cell is split into multiple coverage areas, and each coverage area is independently covered by an RRU. Multiple RRUs belonging to one cell possess the same scrambling code.
Because baseband combination technology is used, combining signals from multiple RRUs does not introduce background noise or influence uplink receive sensitivity. This feature is suitable for coverage in special locations with high-speed motion such as highways, railroad tracks, or racetracks. Base stations configured with TX diversity or MIMO cannot use this feature. When using this feature, the following features cannot be supported:
WRFD-010209 4-Antenna Receive Diversity WRFD-010203 Transmit Diversity WRFD-010684 2x2 MIMO WRFD-010692 HSUPA FDE WRFD-010701 Uplink Enhanced CELL_FACH WRFD-021308 Extended Cell Coverage up to 200km
Network Performance
This feature introduces independent demodulation of signals from multiple RRUs in one cell. Different RRU coverage areas in the same cell can reduce the number of handovers between cells and increase cell capacity and throughput. Multiple RRU coverage areas can also flexibly form linear coverage areas. As a result, a relatively small number of cells can meet the coverage requirements of transportation routes.

This feature multiplexes downlink signals on multiple RRUs for transmission. This is known as baseband multiplexing. The WBBPd board supports a maximum of six two-way receive RRUs in one cell, and the WBBPb board supports a maximum of three two-way receive RRUs in one cell.
This feature is a part of end-to-end PTT solution. PTT needs support from the UE, RAN, CN, and PTT servers. In this feature, the RAN identifies PTT services and implements technologies to reduce the delay of PTT services. PTT services consist of a start-up process and a call setup process:
Start-up process
Issue 06 (2012-11-30)
66
After a UE starts the PTT client, the start-up process begins. The process includes the following actions:
PTT UE registration In this process, a UE registers itself on the PTT server by message exchange. PTT UE identification In this process, the RNC identifies the PTT UE when receiving a RAB ASSIGNMENT message with special QoS parameters and then keeps the UE in the CELL_PCH/URA_PCH state.
Call setup process After a subscriber presses the PTT button, the call setup process begins. The network sets up channels for PTT services. The delay of PTT call setup should be short. To reduce end-to-end delay, the following technologies are used in the call setup process.
Always On The RNC retains the UE in the CELL_PCH/URA_PCH state when there is no data to transmit, that is, the UE is always active in the RNC. The CN also has a mechanism to keep UEs constantly active. The Always On state allows the CN and the RNC to perform fast scheduling on the UEs without re-establishing the RRC connection or performing the activation procedure.
PCH to DCH (P2D) direct state transition A PTT UE directly switches from the CELL_PCH/URA_PCH state to the CELL_DCH state. This reduces PTT transmission delay and improves PTT call setup performance.
Preferred paging The RNC prioritizes PTT paging over the paging of other lower priority applications to improve PTT call setup delay performance.
Early Reception and Transmission The RAN supports the reception of PTT user data on the E-DCH before receiving the CELL UPDATE CONFIRM RESPONSE message from the PTT UE. To reduce delay, the RAN also supports sending messages to the PTT UE over the HS-DSCH without waiting for the CELL UPDATE CONFIRM RESPONSE message.
Fast L1 synchronization The TS 25.331 in 3GPP Release 6 introduces the "Post-verification period" IE to indicate whether a UE uses fast L1 synchronization. This IE is included in the RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION and CELL UPDATE CONFIRM messages. Fast L1 synchronization allows PTT UEs to perform uplink and downlink L1 synchronization concurrently, reducing PTT call setup delay for PTT UEs in the CELL_PCH/URA_PCH state at the start of the call.
Scheduling PTT services are carried over HSPA. The NodeB schedules PTT as VoIP in the downlink, and the NodeB applies the non-scheduling policy for PTT in the uplink.
E-PCH Enhanced PCH enables signaling exchange between PTT UEs in the CELL_PCH state and the RAN. This reduces cell update signaling for UEs to switch from CELL_PCH to CELL_DCH, and further reduces the initial call setup delay of UEs in the CELL_PCH state.

This feature enables the RNC to send PS data directly to the Internet through an offload Gi interface instead of through the Iu-PS interface, SGSN, backbone, GGSN and Gi interface. This reduces the traffic passing through the SGSN, GGSN and backbone and shortens the transmission delay. This reduces the cost of deploying the backbone, SGSN, and GGSN.
In RAN13.0, the RNC offload adopts the Network Address Translation (NAT) technique. In a real network, the downlink PS data is the main part of the PS data. NAT enables the RNC to offload some downlink PS data by controlling the uplink PS data. The RNC analyzes the uplink PS data and selects the data that allows RNC offload. NAT changes the source IP address of uplink PS data to the external IP address of the offload Gi interface before the RNC sends the selected uplink PS data. This enables the downlink PS data to directly arrive at the RNC without passing through the GGSN. Users can configure the usage scope of this feature by specifying the IMSI range, cell ID, service type, Access Point Name (APN), and destination IP address. This feature is configured on the RNC and only the FG2c and GOUc boards support the offload Gi interface.
Network Performance
This feature shortens the end-to-end transmission delay by connecting the RNC to the Internet over the offload Gi interface directly.

4.41 MRFD-221703 2.0MHz Central Frequency point separation between GSM and UMTS mode(UMTS) (New/Optional)
4.41.1 Description
This feature is a new multi-mode feature in RAN13.0. The propagation performance of the 900 MHz or 850 MHz band is better than that of the 2100 MHz band, but the spectrum resources of the 900 MHz or 850 MHz band are much less than those of the 2100 MHz band. Because of this, a conflict exists between the increasing demand for GSM services and the limited spectrum resources. Some telecom operators are unable to reserve the 5 MHz bandwidth from the 850 MHz or 900 MHz band for UMTS services. To maintain competitiveness, operators still expect to deploy new UMTS services on the 850 MHz or 900 MHz band. They use a non-standard bandwidth such as 3.8 MHz for UMTS carriers and 2.0 MHz frequency spacing between GSM and UMTS carriers. This method may cause network KPIs to deteriorate. For these operators, the competitive advantages brought by using non-standard bandwidth and small frequency spacing can compensate for the lower KPIs. Figure 4-5 shows the application of 3.8 MHz bandwidth for the UMTS network and 2.0 MHz frequency spacing shared by GSM and UMTS networks. Figure 4-5 Network application of the feature
Issue 06 (2012-11-30)
74
With this new feature, the GSM network interferes with the uplink of the UMTS network. To mitigate any adverse effect of neighboring GSM frequencies on UMTS frequencies, the Huawei NodeB provides a 3.8 MHz bandwidth filter. This feature does not support HSPA+ services.
Network Performance
This feature reduces the frequency spacing between GSM and UMTS networks and has the following impacts on network performance:
The throughput of UMTS HSPA services decreases because the GSM and UMTS networks interfere with each other and the UMTS network uses a 3.8 MHz bandwidth filter. The throughput of GSM EDGE services decreases because UMTS interferes with GSM. The mean opinion scores (MOSs) of GSM and UMTS decrease. In scenarios with limited spectrum resources, KPIs of the GSM network may deteriorate because the 3.8 MHz GSM bandwidth is allocated to UMTS.
