This is the initial draft of the document for RAN11.0.
2 CBS Introduction
Cell broadcast service (CBS) enables the network operator to broadcast public messages to all
user equipment (UE) in a specific area. The messages to be broadcast are CBS messages. The
UE supporting the CBS feature monitors broadcast messages continually and displays the
messages to the user.
The CBS feature is an extension of the point-to-multipoint service to 3G networks.
The CBS feature enables text messages to be broadcast on forward access channels (FACHs)
in service areas (SAs).
The CBS feature has the following benefits:
Compared with the point-to-point mode, the broadcast mode enables multiple UEs to
receive the same message, thus saving system resources.
CBS SAs have a one-to-one correspondence with cells. Therefore, messages can be
broadcast in specific areas.
Based on customer demand, Huawei provides two ways of implementing the CBS feature,
namely, external cell broadcast center (CBC) and built-in CBC.
Intended Audience
This document is intended for:
System operators who need a general understanding of CBS feature.
Personnel working on Huawei products or systems.
Impact
Impact on system performance
The CBS service is carried on the FACH through the common traffic channel (CTCH).
Therefore, the activation of the CBS service affects the capacity of the FACH.
Impact on other features
None.
Others
None.

CBS enables the network operator to broadcast public messages to all the UEs in a specific
area. According to customer demand, an external CBC can be used to implement the CBS
feature.
This chapter describes the following aspects of the CBS feature:
System architecture
CBS message scheduling and sending

When an external CBC is used to implement CBS, the CBS configuration procedure consists
of the following tasks:
Activating the CBS license
Configuring Iu-BC interface interconnection
Configuring CBS for a cell
Verifying CBS activation
The IP address of the Iu-BC interface can be shared. The device IP address of the Iu-BC interface board,
however, must be configured separately. That is, the device IP address of the Iu-BC interface board
cannot be shared.

Network
RNC Configuration
Add the IP address of the Ethernet port.
Run the ADD ETHIP command to add the IP address of the Ethernet port.

The IP address of the Ethernet port connected to the CBC and the IP address of the
CBC must be on the same network segment.
Add the device IP address of the board.
Run the ADD DEVIP command to add the device IP address of the board.
The device IP address is the CBS IP address of the RNC.
Add the CBS configuration.
Run the ADD CBSADDR command to add the TCP IP address used for the
SOCKET communication between the CBC and the RNC.
If the RNC IP address and the CBC IP address are on different network segments,
first configure the related routes to ensure that the IP link works properly.
Router Configuration
For details, see the associated router configuration document. The data must be negotiated
with the RNC.
CBC Configuration
Configure the IP address of the CBC and the route from the CBC to the RNC.

FACH ID is the unique identifier of an FACH in a cell. You need to determine the channel configuration
scheme with NodeB engineers according to the channel specifications supported by the NodeB.
Step 2 Run the ADD CELLCBSDRX command to set the CBS DRX scheduling parameters for the
cell supporting CBS.
Step 3 Run the ADD CELLCBSSAC command to set the SAC that identifies the broadcast area for
the cell supporting CBS.
You can add a specific CBS cell to the CBS SA by setting the cell ID (CELLID).
CBS SAC identifies a CBS cell. The SAC is determined in network planning.
CBS SAs are different from CS/PS SAs. CBS SAs have a one-to-one correspondence with cells.
Step 4 Run the ACT CELLCBS command to enable CBS in a cell. You can enable CBS only after
other radio network layer configurations are complete. After CBS is enabled, you can monitor
the RESTART message on the Iu-BC interface and the CBS scheduling message on the Uu
interface.
----End
Step 2 Start Iu interface tracing and ensure that you can observe messages sent by the CBC.
Step 3 Start Uu interface tracing on the LMT and ensure that you can observe messages delivered by
the CBC.
Step 4 Use a CBS-capable UE to make a test and ensure that the UE can receive CBS messages.

According to customer demand, a built-in CBC can be constructed through RNC software
development. The cell name and information can be periodically sent to UEs. In this way, the
simple CBS feature can be implemented.
To implement simple CBS, the RNC needs to construct the CBC. That is, the RNC needs to
construct related messages to simulate the CBS server. The following messages need to be
constructed:
Write Replace message: This message is used to carry information. It is constructed
and sent by the RNC.
KILL message: When CBS is disabled or deactivated, the RNC needs to send a KILL
message to the cell that sends the Write Replace message so that the cell stops
broadcasting CBS messages.
The RNC does not need to send the Write - Replace RSP message and the KILL RSP message
to the CN because it is a simulated CBS server. When receiving a layer 2 failure message, the
RNC needs to send the corresponding error message to the UE.
RMV CELLCBSDRX

Delete the configuration of the built-in CBC subsystem in the RNC by running the
following command:

Disable the broadcasting function by running the following command:
