User Guide

1.

This template includes the work sheet of "RAN Traffic Model", "IUCS", "IUPS", "IuB",
"IUR", "Converter", and "Reference".

2.

The user need to input the data in work sheet of "RAN Traffic Model", "IUCS", "IUPS",
"IuB", and "IUR".

3.

This template will calculate the total bandwidth needed for each ATM- and IP-based interface;
include IUCS, IUPS, IuB and IUR based on the RAN traffic model input at worksheet " RAN
Traffic Model". Beside that, this template will calculate the bandwidth of user plane need to
be configured for IUCS, IUPS and IUR.

4.

Firstly, input the data at worksheet "RAN Traffic Model" according to traffic model provided:
a)
b)
c)

d)
e)

5.

This template is design maximum used for 10 RNCs.

Input the RNC Name at the row of "RNC Name" . Without RNC Name provided, the
template will ignore all the data input under this RNC.
Select/Specified the RNC version . This is to use to calculate some of recommended
data used for each version of RNCs. Currently support for RAN10, RAN11, RAN11.1
and RAN12.
Input the RAN Traffic Model Parameters RNC by RNC (column by column), which
highligted with .
All the Parameters have default value (Huawei experience/recommend value) which
highlighted with . If user didn't input the value, the default value will take in place.

Secondly, input the data at worksheet "IUCS":

a)
b)
c)
d)

e)

Most of the data related with Traffic Model parameter will auto fill in when user input in
worksheet "RAN Traffic Model", which highlighted with .
User has to input parameters which highlighted with . If user didn't input the value, the
Huawei recommend/default value will take in place.
In this section, the total bandwidth for IUCS control plane, user plane and total IUCS
interface throughput will be calculated.
Beside that, this template also will calculate the total bandwidth for each signaling and
AAL2Paths after user inputs total links would like to configure for signaling and
AAL2Paths.
(The minimum bandwidth for each signaling is 256kbps)
For user plane data, user can choose to calculate how many paths to be configured by
input the bandwidth of each path
(Huawei recommend value, 4 Mbps for each path).

6.

Thirdly, input the data at worksheet "IUPS":

a)
b)
c)
d)

e)

7.

Most of the data related with Traffic Model parameter will auto fill in when user input in
worksheet "RAN Traffic Model", which highlighted with .
User has to input parameters which highlighted with . If user didn't input the value, the
Huawei recommend/default value will take in place.
In this section, the total bandwidth for IUPS control plane and user plane will be
calculated.
This template also will calculate the total bandwidth for each signaling links after user
input total links to be configured for IuPS signaling.
(The minimum bandwidth for signaling is 256kbps.)
If the total bandwidth of user plane throughput higher than 150Mbps, the cell will
highlighted with indicates that 1 physical link is not enough to cover IuPS interface.
(Maximum physical bandwidth for 1 STM-1 is 155Mbps).

Fourthly, input the data at worksheet "IUB":

a)
b)
c)
d)
e)

8.

Internal Only

Most of the data related with Traffic Model parameter will auto fill in when user input in
worksheet "RAN Traffic Model", which highlighted with .
User has to input parameters which highlighted with . If user didn't input the value, the
Huawei recommend/default value will take in place.
In this section, IUB USER PALNE PAYLOAD THROUGHPUT, IUB USER PALNE
PAYLOAD THROUGHPUT and IUB OAM THROUGHPUT will be calculated.
The value of IUB USER PALNE PAYLOAD THROUGHPUT and IUB USER PALNE
PAYLOAD THROUGHPUT used for IUR (ATM) bandwidth calculation.
For the configured bandwidth of signaling links and user plane paths for each NodeB,
please refer to worksheet "Reference" for details based on different scenarios.

Lastly, input the data at worksheet "IUR":

a)
b)
c)
d)
e)

f)

g)

This section is only applicable if there is relationship with cells in neighboring RNCs.
Most of the data related with Traffic Model parameter will auto fill in when user input in
worksheet "RAN Traffic Model", which highlighted with .
User has to input parameters which highlighted with . If user didn't input the value, the
Huawei recommend/default value will take in place.
In this section, IUR USER PALNE PAYLOAD THROUGHPUT and IUR CONTROL
PALNE PAYLOAD THROUGHPUT will be calculated.
This template also will calculate the total bandwidth for each signaling after user inputs
total links would like to configure for signaling links.
(The minimum bandwidth for each signaling is 256kbps)
Users have to input the max. bandwidth for 1 AAL2Path to be configured, otherwise the
bandwidth of AAL2Path is same with the "Total IUPS User Plane Throughput (ATM
Layer)".
The type and quantity of AAL2Path recommended for IUR: 2 Paths for RT, 2 Paths for
NRT and 2 Paths for UBR. Therefore:

IF <Total AAL2Path need to be configured> is 1, totally 6 Paths need to configure:

2 for RT, 2 for NRT and 2 for UBR with BW specified in <Bandwidth of each
AAL2Path>.
IF <Total AAL2Path need to be configured> is x, then, 6x Paths need to configure:
2x for RT, 2x for NRT and 2x for UBR with BW specified in < Bandwidth of each
AAL2Path>.
In IP based (RAN 11 onward), if NRNC is Huawei RNC, it is recommend to
configure 1 IPPath with type QoSPATH.
In IP based (RAN 11 onward), if NRNC is not Huawei RNC, it is recommend to
configure 1 IPPath each for path type EF, AF43, AF23 and AF13.

This template also provides a converter tool between CPS and KBPS conversion. Please refer
to the worksheet "Converter".
a)
b)

User has to input the value of bandwidth at the cell highlighted with .
Select "CPS" or "KBPS". If user wants to convert from CPS to KBPS, please select
"CPS", otherwise, select "KBPS".
