SFN Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
Co-channel interference is a critical problem on intra-frequency networks. This problem is
more critical at the cell edge where the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) is low
for some users. In dense urban areas where sites are densely deployed to ensure network
coverage, interference is severe on control channels between cells, reducing coverage of
control channels. Inter-eNodeB interference also deteriorates the performance of traffic
channels. When interference is severe, high-order modulation schemes cannot be used and
LTE advantages are compromised.
To mitigate the previous interference, Single Frequency Network (SFN) is introduced. SFN
allows two to seven RRUs to serve an SFN cell, changing the original cell edges into the SFN
cell center. For details about how to deploy multiple RRUs to serve one SFN cell, see 10.3
Planning.
2.2 Benefits
The SFN feature converts inter-RRU interference into desired signals. Large-scale SFN
deployment improves the SINR of the entire network. For example:
l The average SINRs on the PDCCH and PDSCH increase by 2 dB to 3 dB when three
RRUs serve an SFN cell in a typical dense urban area.
l The average SINRs on the PDCCH and PDSCH increase by 5 dB to 6 dB when three
RRUs serve an SFN cell in a typical dense urban area.
The SFN feature also increases the cell coverage area and handover success rate, and reduces
the number of handovers and service drop rate.
Enabling the SFN feature, however, decreases the overall system capacity to some extent.
Compared with the throughput of three single-RRU cells in a common network, the average
cell throughput decreases to about 51% in the downlink when three RRUs serve an SFN cell
in a typical dense urban area and the load ratio is 100%.
To maintain system capacity, adaptive SFN/SDMA is adopted. The average cell throughput
decreases to about 85% in the downlink when three RRUs serve an SFN cell in a typical
dense urban area and the load ratio is 100%.

SFN Feature Parameter Description 3 Feature Principles
3 Feature Principles
3.1 Joint-Scheduling-based SFN

This section describes the principles of the following features:
l TDLOFD-001075 SFN
Joint scheduling-based SFN enables multiple RRUs using the same physical cell identifier
(PCI) to serve an SFN cell. When joint scheduling-based SFN is enabled, multiple RRUs
jointly transmit data on downlink physical channels and some or all RRUs receive data on
uplink physical channels from a UE in an SFN cell. In this way, signals from different cells
that originally interfered with each other turn into multi-path signals from one cell. Joint
scheduling-based SFN decreases the number of neighboring cells, mitigates co-channel
interference between cells, and increases the SINR and user experience at the cell edge.
Figure 3-1 shows an example of common cells and an SFN cell for comparison. In this
example, cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3 in common networking mode are combined into an SFN
cell, and the edge areas between cells 1, 2, and 3 become the internal coverage area of the
SFN cell.

eRAN TDD
Figure 3-1 Comparison between the common networking mode and the SFN networking
mode
In the downlink, the RRUs serving an SFN cell use the same time-frequency resource to
transmit the same data on downlink physical channels. Compared with the common
networking mode, the SFN networking mode prevents interference on control channels
between RRUs and enhances the signal quality by combining received signals.
In the uplink, all RRUs serving the SFN cell receive data transmitted on the physical random
access channel (PRACH) and also sounding reference signals (SRSs). Selective reception or
joint reception is adopted for receiving data transmitted on the physical uplink shared channel
(PUSCH). However, only selective reception is adopted for receiving data transmitted on the
physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).
l For physical random access channel (PRACH) data and sounding reference signals
(SRSs), all the RRUs serving the SFN cell are used for data reception.
l For physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and physical uplink control channel
(PUCCH) data, only the target RRU is used for data reception. The target RRU is
determined by the eNodeB based on the measured channel quality of the UE.
In eRAN TDD 7.0, the TTI-level layer-2 selective reception function is introduced. With
this function, multiple working RRUs of a UE demodulate PUSCH data for the UE and
then report the demodulation results to the MAC layer. Based on the demodulation
results, the MAC layer combines the correctly demodulated PUSCH data. Layer-2
selective reception improves uplink coverage.
Layer-2 selective reception applies only to 10 MHz or 20 MHz SFN cells served by
4T4R/8T8R RRUs. The SFNULL2SELECTIVERCVSWITCH option in the
CellAlgoSwitch.SfnAlgoSwitch parameter specifies whether layer-2 selective reception
is enabled.
When SFNULL2SELECTIVERCVSWITCH is set to ON, layer-2 selective
reception is enabled and the working RRUs selectively receive PUSCH data at the
MAC layer.

eRAN TDD
When SFNULL2SELECTIVERCVSWITCH is set to OFF, layer-2 selective

reception is disabled and the target RRU receives PUSCH data at the MAC layer.
l Joint reception indicates that the eNodeB receives PUSCH data from both the target
RRU and coordinated RRUs and jointly demodulates the data. Coordinated RRUs are
other RRUs with stronger signal strength. Uplink joint reception is controlled by
CellAlgoSwitch.SfnUplinkCompSwitch.
Based on the uplink SRS strength reported by a UE, the eNodeB selects the RRUs whose
uplink SRS strength is lower than that of the target RRU within a preset range. Such
RRUs are termed coordinated RRUs. The range of the difference can be set in the
CellUlCompAlgo.SfnUlCompThd parameter.
The eNodeB supports joint reception between RRUs with four or eight receivers. Up to
two RRUs can be selected as the coordinated RRUs for each UE.
The eNodeB may select a wrong target RRU if data about RRUs is measured
inaccurately in the uplink when a UE is moving in an SFN cell. To select target RRUs
accurately, the SfnTarRruSelEnhSwitch option is added to the
CellAlgoSwitch.SfnAlgoSwitch parameter. When SfnTarRruSelEnhSwitch is on, the
physical layer calibrates received signals in the uplink based on the TA measurement
result to select a more appropriate target RRU. However, if the distance between
physical cells is excessively long, there is a higher possibility that the TA is measured
incorrectly. When SfnTarRruSelEnhSwitch is off, the eNodeB can select a correct
target RRU if the time reference difference between received signals in the uplink is
small. If the time reference difference is large, the eNodeB may select a wrong target
RRU.
3.2 Adaptive SFN/SDMA

This section describes the principles of the following features:
3.2.1 Introduction
Adaptive SFN/SDMA enables the RRUs serving an SFN cell to determine scheduling modes
based on UE attributes. It helps to increase the spectral efficiency while maintaining system
capacity. Adaptive SFN/SDMA supports the following scheduling modes:
l Joint scheduling: Some or all RRUs in an SFN cell use the same time-frequency resource
to transmit the same data to a UE and receive data for selective or joint demodulation
and detection. This mode applies to UEs served by multiple RRUs.
l Independent scheduling: UEs served by different RRUs use the same time-frequency
resource to transmit and receive their own data. This mode applies to UEs served by only
one RRU.
NOTE
When space division multiple access (SDMA) is adopted in an SFN cell, the RRUs serving the
SFN cell use the same time-frequency resource to transmit or receive different data.

eRAN TDD
3.2.2 UE Attribute Determination

This section describes the procedures for determining the working RRU list and attributes of a
UE separately in the uplink and downlink.
Downlink UE Attribute Determination

In the downlink, an eNodeB determines UE attributes by following the procedure shown in
Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2 Flowchart for determining downlink UE attributes
The eNodeB determines downlink UE attributes as follows:

1. Calculates the equivalent RSRP values of the signals that each RRU sends to the UE
based on the RSRP values of the signals that the UE sends to the RRUs in the SFN cell.
2. Arranges the RRUs in descending order of downlink equivalent RSRP values.
3. Selects the RRU with the largest equivalent RSRP value as the target RRU of the UE.
4. Determines the working RRU list based on the isolation.
a. Arranges the RRUs with the largest equivalent RSRP value into RRU group A and
the other RRUs into RRU group B, and then calculates the isolation between RRU
groups A and B. The isolation equals the ratio of the total RSRP of RRU group A to
the total RSRP of RRU group B.
b. Compares the isolation with a specified threshold. If the isolation is less than a
specified threshold, the eNodeB moves the RRU with the largest equivalent RSRP

eRAN TDD
from RRU group B to RRU group A and calculates the isolation again. The eNodeB
repeats the moving and calculation until the isolation is greater than the specified
threshold. When the isolation is greater than the specified threshold, the RRUs
contained in RRU group A form the working RRU list of the UE.
NOTE
When adaptive SFN/SDMA is enabled, the SFN cell can use a fixed isolation decision threshold or
an isolation decision threshold that is adjusted based on load status. The
CellAlgoSwitch.SfnLoadBasedAdptSwitch parameter specifies which threshold is used in an SFN
cell.
l When this parameter is set to OFF, the SFN cell adopts a fixed isolation decision threshold.
l When this parameter is set to ON, the SFN cell adopts an isolation decision threshold that is
adjusted based on load status. The eNodeB periodically measures and updates the load status
of a cell. The period is specified by the CELLDLSCHALGO.SfnDlLoadPeriod parameter.
When the network load is light, SFN cells adopt a high isolation decision threshold to make
full use of RRU resources, improving user experience. When the network load is heavy, SFN
cells adopt a low isolation decision threshold to facilitate spatial multiplexing, improving
spectral efficiency.
In eRAN8.1, load-based adaptive adjustment is determined by the SFN downlink two-load-level
adaption switch SfnDl2LoadLevelAdptSwitch in the CellAlgoSwitch.SfnAlgoSwitch parameter.
When the SFN load-based adaption switch (CellAlgoSwitch.SfnLoadBasedAdptSwitch) is on:
l If SfnDl2LoadLevelAdptSwitch in the CellAlgoSwitch.SfnAlgoSwitch parameter is set to
OFF, load levels are not differentiated for SFN cells in the downlink.
l If SfnDl2LoadLevelAdptSwitch in the CellAlgoSwitch.SfnAlgoSwitch parameter is set to
ON, two load levels are adaptively adjusted for SFN cells in the downlink. Two load levels are
light load and heavy load. SFN cells in light load adopt a high decision threshold to make full
use of RRU resources, improving user experience. SFN cells in heavy load adopt a low
decision threshold to facilitate spatial multiplexing, increasing spectral efficiency. The
threshold for switching from light load to heavy load is specified by the
CELLDLSCHALGO.SfnDlHighLoadThd parameter. The threshold for switching from
heavy load to light load is specified by the CELLDLSCHALGO.SfnDlLowLoadThd
parameter.
5. Determines UE attributes based on the number of RRUs in the working RRU list of the
UE.
If the working RRU list contains only one RRU, the UE is an independent-
scheduling UE.
If the working RRU list contains multiple RRUs, the UE is a joint-scheduling UE.
Uplink UE Attribute Determination

In the uplink, an eNodeB determines UE attributes by following the procedure shown in
Figure 3-3.

eRAN TDD
Figure 3-3 Flowchart for determining uplink UE attributes
The eNodeB determines uplink UE attributes as follows:

1. Arranges the SINRs and RSRP values of the signals that the UE sends to RRUs in
descending order.
2. Selects the RRU with the highest SINR as the target RRU.
3. Calculates the RSRP differences between other RRUs and the target RRU based on the
RSRP values of the signals that the UE sends to RRUs.
4. Compares the RSRP difference between an RRU and the target RRU with the specified
threshold. If the RSRP difference is less than or equal to the specified threshold, the
RRU belongs to the working RRU list of the UE.
NOTE
When adaptive SFN/SDMA is enabled, the SFN cell can use a fixed isolation decision threshold or
an isolation decision threshold that is adjusted based on load status. The
CellAlgoSwitch.SfnLoadBasedAdptSwitch parameter specifies which threshold is used in an SFN
cell.
l When this parameter is set to OFF, the SFN cell adopts a fixed isolation decision threshold.
l When this parameter is set to ON, the SFN cell adopts an isolation decision threshold that is
adjusted based on load status. The eNodeB periodically measures and updates the load status
of a cell. The period can be set in the CELLULSCHALGO.SfnUlLoadPeriod parameter.
When the network load is light, SFN cells adopt a high isolation decision threshold to make
full use of RRU resources, improving user experience. When the network load is heavy, SFN
cells adopt a low isolation decision threshold to facilitate spatial multiplexing, improving
spectral efficiency.
5. Determines UE attributes based on the number of RRUs contained in the working RRU
list of the UE.
If the working RRU list contains only one RRU, the UE is an independent-
scheduling UE.

eRAN TDD
If the working RRU list contains multiple RRUs, the UE is a joint-scheduling UE.
3.2.3 Adaptive Resource Scheduling

The eNodeB determines the working RRU list and target RRU of a UE based on UE attribute
determination results. Based on the UE type, working RRU list, and target RRU of a UE, an
eNodeB determines whether to perform joint or independent scheduling for the UE.
l Joint scheduling
In the downlink, some or all RRUs in an SFN cell transmit the same data to a UE by
using the same time-frequency resource. This brings performance gains and prevents
interference between RRUs. Joint scheduling applies to UEs located at the edges of the
original common cells, such as UE 1 and UE 2 shown in Figure 3-4. In the uplink,
multiple RRUs use the same time-frequency resource to receive data for selective or
joint demodulation and detection.
Figure 3-4 Joint scheduling
l Independent scheduling
In independent scheduling mode, only the target RRU of a UE allocates resources to the
UE, and other RRUs in the SFN cell allocate the same time-frequency resource to other
UEs. Independent-scheduling UEs use the same time-frequency resource to transmit and
receive their own data. Independent scheduling applies to UEs located at the centers of
the original common cells, such as UE 3, UE 4 and UE 5 shown in Figure 3-5. UE 3, UE
4 and UE 5 use the same time-frequency resource to receive the data sent by RRU 1,
RRU 2 and RRU 3, respectively. In the uplink, UE 3 and UE 4 use the same time-
frequency resource to receive data from RRU 1 and RRU 2, respectively.

eRAN TDD
Figure 3-5 Independent scheduling
Downlink Adaptive Resource Scheduling

In the downlink, joint transmission and independent scheduling are adopted adaptively, as
shown in Figure 3-6.
Figure 3-6 Downlink adaptive resource scheduling
In Figure 3-6, the blocks in blue, red, and yellow represent different time-frequency
resources. In the left part where joint transmission is used, three RRUs allocate the same time-
frequency resources to a UE. In the right part where independent scheduling is used, only one
RRU allocates time-frequency resources to a UE and different RRUs allocate the same time-
frequency resource to different UEs.

In eRAN11.0, downlink adaptive resource scheduling is optimized so that SFN downlink scheduling
attributes are determined by SfnDlSchAttriAdjsSwitch in the CellAlgoSwitch.SfnAlgoSwitch
parameter. If SfnDlSchAttriAdjsSwitch in the CellAlgoSwitch.SfnAlgoSwitch parameter is set to ON
when CellAlgoSwitch.SfnLoadBasedAdptSwitch is turned on and SfnDl2LoadLevelAdptSwitch in the
CellAlgoSwitch.SfnAlgoSwitch parameter is turned on, the eNodeB dynamically adjusts scheduling
attributes and resource allocation for UEs in an SFN cell at each TTI based on the cell load status and
the distribution of UE attributes, decreasing scheduling delay for UEs.
Uplink Adaptive Resource Scheduling

In the uplink, selective reception and independent scheduling are adopted adaptively, as
shown in Figure 3-7.
Figure 3-7 Uplink adaptive resource scheduling
In Figure 3-7, the blocks in blue, red, and yellow represent different time-frequency
resources. In the left part where selective reception is used, three RRUs allocate the same
time-frequency resource to a UE and the UE receives data only from one RRU or jointly
receives data from multiple RRUs. In the right part where independent scheduling is enabled,
three UEs use the same time-frequency resource to transmit data to their target RRUs.
eRAN7.0 introduces layer-2 selective reception in addition to uplink selective reception. For
details about layer-2 selective reception, see 3.1 Joint-Scheduling-based SFN.
eRAN8.1 introduces uplink joint reception in addition to uplink selective reception and
layer-2 selective reception. For details about uplink joint reception, see 3.1 Joint-Scheduling-

3.3 PDCCH Enhancement in Adaptive SFN/SDMA
3.3.1 PDCCH DCS in Adaptive SFN/SDMA

This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-070227 PDCCH DCS in SFN.

eRAN TDD
In eRAN TDD 7.0, TDLOFD-070227 PDCCH DCS in SFN is introduced to mitigate

interference on the PDCCH between SFN cells and increase the PDCCH's SINR. This feature
is controlled by the SFNPDCCHDCSSWITCH option in the
CellAlgoSwitch.SfnAlgoSwitch parameter.
Figure 3-8 Comparison between the networking with PDCCH DCS in SFN disabled and that
with PDCCH DCS in SFN enabled
In the network shown in Figure 3-8, UE1 is located at the edges of cells 1 and 2, and UE2 is
located in cell2 and is far away from cell1.
l When PDCCH DCS in SFN is not enabled, all the RRUs serving cell1 transmit PDCCH
data to UE1 and all the RRUs serving cell2 transmit PDCCH data to UE2. In this

eRAN TDD
situation, UE1 receives PDCCH data from both cells 1 and 2 and PDCCH data received
from cell2 causes interference to UE1.
l When PDCCH DCS in SFN is enabled, all the working RRUs of a UE are allocated
normal transmit power to transmit PDCCH data and the other RRUs are not allocated
transmit power. In the network shown in Figure 3-8, UE1 receives PDCCH data only
from RRU3 and UE2 only from RRUs 4 and 6, thereby mitigating PDCCH interference
caused by cell2 to UE1.
NOTE
When PDCCH DCS in SFN is enabled, RRUs use different CCE resources to transmit PDCCH data to
different UEs.
The procedure for determining the working RRU list in PDCCH DCS in SFN mode is similar
to that used in adaptive SFN/SDMA mode. In the procedure, the eNodeB determines the
working RRU list as follows:
1. Calculates the equivalent RSRP values of the signals that each RRU sends to the UE
based on the RSRP values of the signals that the UE sends to the RRUs in the SFN cell.
2. Arranges the RRUs in descending order of downlink equivalent RSRP values.
3. Selects the RRU with the largest equivalent RSRP value as the target RRU of the UE.
4. Determines the working RRU list based on the isolation.
a. Arranges the RRUs with the largest equivalent RSRP value into RRU group A and
the other RRUs into RRU group B, and then calculates the isolation between RRU
groups A and B. The isolation equals the ratio of the total RSRP of RRU group A to
the total RSRP of RRU group B.
b. Moves the RRU with the second largest equivalent RSRP value from RRU group B
to RRU group A and calculates the isolation again if the isolation is less than the
isolation threshold specified by the CellPdcchAlgo.SfnPdcchDcsThd parameter. In
this way, the eNodeB calculates the isolation until it exceeds the isolation threshold.
When the isolation exceeds the isolation threshold, the RRUs contained in RRU
group A form the working RRU list of the UE.
NOTE
l The working RRU list can be determined only when adaptive SFN/SDMA is enabled. Therefore,
PDCCH DCS in SFN depends on adaptive SFN/SDMA but does not work together with PDCCH
SDMA in SFN.
l If PDCCHAggLvlAdaptStrage is set to STRATEGYBASEDONCOVERAGE, the eNodeB
determines that the working RRUs on PDCCH demodulation for UEs providing HARQ feedback in
multiplexing mode, UEs of PUCCH format 3, and UEs of PUCCH format 1bcs are all RRUs serving
the SFN cell. This ensures that the PDCCH demodulation performance of UEs does not deteriorate.
3.3.2 PDCCH SDMA in Adaptive SFN/SDMA

This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-081221 PDCCH SDMA in SFN.
In eRAN TDD 8.1, TDLOFD-081221 PDCCH SDMA in SFN is introduced to increase the
PDCCH capacity of SFN cells. This feature is controlled by the
SFNPDCCHSDMASWITCH option in the CellAlgoSwitch.SfnAlgoSwitch parameter.

eRAN TDD
Figure 3-9 Comparison between the networking with PDCCH SDMA in SFN disabled and
that with PDCCH SDMA in SFN enabled

eRAN TDD
In the network shown in Figure 3-9, UE1 is located in the cover area of RRU1 in cell1 and is
far from other RRUs. UE2 is located in the cover area of RRU2 in cell1 and is far from other
RRUs. UE3 is located in the cover area of RRU4 in cell2 and is far from other RRUs. UE4 is
located in the edge area covered by both RRU5 and RRU6 in cell2.
l When PDCCH SDMA in SFN is not enabled, all the RRUs serving cell1 transmit
PDCCH data to UE1 and UE2 and all the RRUs serving cell2 transmit PDCCH data to
UE3 and UE4.
l When PDCCH SDMA in SFN is enabled, the eNodeB allocates PDCCH resources and
transmits PDCCH signals to a UE in the SFN cell only on the working RRUs of the UE.
PDCCH CCE resources of different RRUs in the SFN cell can be reused by UEs. As
shown in Figure 3-9, UE1 receives only the PDCCH signals transmitted by RRU1 in
cell1 and UE2 receives only the PDCCH signals transmitted by RRU2 in cell1. UE1 and
UE2 can reuse the CCE resources of cell1. UE3 receives only the PDCCH signals
transmitted by RRU4 in cell2 and UE4 receives only the PDCCH signals transmitted by
RRU5 and RRU6 in cell1. UE3 and UE4 can reuse the CCE resources of cell2.
NOTE
When PDCCH SDMA in SFN is enabled, RRUs reuse CCE resources to transmit PDCCH data to
different UEs.
As the key of the PDCCH SDMA in SFN feature, the procedure for determining the working
RRU list is similar with that for determining the working RRU list in PDCCH DCS in
Adaptive SFN/SDMA. For details, see 3.3.1 PDCCH DCS in Adaptive SFN/SDMA. The
isolation judgment threshold is specified in the CellPdcchAlgo.SfnPdcchSdmaThd
parameter.
NOTE
The working RRU list can be determined only when adaptive SFN/SDMA is enabled. Therefore,
PDCCH SDMA in SFN depends on adaptive SFN/SDMA but does not work together with PDCCH
DCS in SFN.
If PDCCHAggLvlAdaptStrage is set to STRATEGYBASEDONCOVERAGE, the eNodeB
determines that the working RRUs on PDCCH demodulation for UEs providing HARQ feedback in
multiplexing mode, UEs of PUCCH format 3, and UEs of PUCCH format 1bcs are all RRUs serving the
SFN cell. This ensures that the PDCCH demodulation performance of UEs does not deteriorate.
3.4 Coordination Between Adaptive SFN/SDMA and

Multiple-Antenna Techniques
To further increase cell throughput, adaptive SFN/SDMA can be used with coordinated
beamforming (CBF), multi-user beamforming (MU-beamforming), and multi-user multiple-
input multiple-output (MU-MIMO).
3.4.1 Inter-RRU CBF in Adaptive SFN/SDMA

If inter-RRU CBF is enabled for an SFN cell, UEs with a low correlation under different
RRUs are selected to pair through spatial multiplexing. Signals transmitted to the paired UEs
are weighted using CBF, mitigating inter-RRU interference on the UEs. Inter-RRU CBF in an
SFN cell is controlled by MuBfSwitch in the CellAlgoSwitch.MuBfAlgoSwitch parameter
and SfnCbfSwitch in the CellAlgoSwitch.SfnAlgoSwitch parameter.
Figure 3-10 shows an SFN cell served by RRUs 0, 1, and 2. UE 1 resides in the overlapping
coverage area of the three RRUs. By taking RRU 1 as its target RRU, UE 1 can also receive

eRAN TDD
strong signals from RRUs 0 and 2 simultaneously. UE 2 resides in the coverage area of RRU
2. Spatial multiplexing is performed between UE 1 and UE 2. In addition, CBF directs strong
signals to UE 2 and directs nulls to UE 1 by adjusting weights. This mitigates the interference
on UE 1 and generates only little signal loss for UE 2. As a result, the throughput of the SFN
cell increases.
Figure 3-10 Inter-RRU CBF (1)
As shown in Figure 3-11, UE 1 resides in the overlapping coverage area of RRUs 0, 1, and 2
while UE 2 resides in the overlapping coverage area of RRUs 1 and 2. Spatial multiplexing is
performed between UE 1 and UE 2. CBF directs strong signals transmitted by RRU 2 to UE 2
and directs nulls to UE 1 by adjusting weights. In addition, CBF directs strong signals
transmitted by RRU 1 to UE 1 and directs nulls to UE 2 by adjusting weights. These measures
mitigate the mutual signal interference between UE 1 and UE 2 and increase the throughput of
the SFN cell.
Figure 3-11 Inter-RRU CBF (2)

eRAN TDD
3.4.2 MU-Beamforming in Adaptive SFN/SDMA

MU-Beamforming is applicable to the UEs with high channel correlations and considerable
spatial diversities. In MU-Beamforming mode, multiple downlink data streams can be
transported using the same time and frequency resources, which increases cell throughput.
When adaptive SFN/SDMA is enabled, independent UEs under each RRU can be paired for
MU-Beamforming. For more information about MU beamforming, see Beamforming Feature
Parameter Description.
3.4.3 Adaptive SFN/SDMA+MU MIMO

In MU MIMO mode, multiple UEs use the same time-frequency resource for data
transmission in the uplink. Compared with uplink receive diversity that brings diversity and
array gains, MU MIMO also brings multiplexing gains. System gains brought by MU MIMO
are subject to the SINRs of MIMO UEs and channel correlations between UEs. For details
about MU MIMO, see MIMO Feature Parameter Description.
When Adaptive SFN/SDMA and MU MIMO are used together, UE pairing policies differ
between joint- and independent-scheduling UEs.
l A joint-scheduling UE can be paired with another joint-scheduling UE or an
independent-scheduling UE within the same working RRU list, including its working
RRU sublists. To mitigate inter-stream interference between paired UEs and enhance
uplink system performance, the eNodeB preferentially selects layer 2 UEs that have the
same target RRU as the joint-scheduling UE to be paired. After UE pairing succeeds, the
paired UEs receive data from their own target RRUs for demodulation.
l An independent-scheduling UE must be paired with another independent-scheduling UE
served by the same target RRU.

Intra-BBP SFN techniques consist of TDLOFD-001075 SFN and TDLOFD-002008 Adaptive

serve an SFN cell, as shown in Figure 4-1.

SFN Feature Parameter Description 5 Inter-BBP SFN Techniques
5 Inter-BBP SFN Techniques
In actual networking scenarios, to improve network coverage, multiple RRUs connected to

different BBPs in the same BBU subrack are combined to serve one SFN cell. With the proper
software configuration, inter-BBP SFN techniques allow RRUs, that are connected to
different BBPs, to serve a single SFN cell. This minimizes the changes in physical
connections between RRUs and BBUs during SFN network reconstruction, reducing the need
of on-site O&M.
Inter-BBP SFN techniques consist of TDLOFD-001098 Inter-BBP SFN and

TDLOFD-001081 Inter-BBP Adaptive SFN/SDMA. Figure 5-1 shows an inter-BBP SFN
cell.
Figure 5-1 Inter-BBP SFN cell
With inter-BBP SFN techniques, a maximum of seven RRUs connected to different LBBPs in
a BBU can be combined to serve an SFN cell. Compared with an SFN cell served by three
RRUs, the SFN cell served by seven RRUs increases the average SINR on the PDCCH and
PDSCH.

eRAN TDD
SFN Feature Parameter Description 5 Inter-BBP SFN Techniques
For an inter-BBP SFN cell, the primary BBP processes both Layer-2 and Layer-1 data and the
secondary BBPs process only Layer-1 data. Layer-1 data of each RRU is processed on the
connected BBP, which can be the primary or secondary BBP. Layer-2 data of all RRUs are
processed only on the primary BBP.
When an inter-BBP SFN cell is activated, the eNodeB automatically selects a BBP as the
primary BBP of the inter-BBP SFN cell. After the SFN cell is activated, information about the
primary BBP can be queried by running the DSP CELL command.

Application Scenarios
When multiple BBUs are deployed in the same equipment room, the RRUs connected to
different BBUs may be required to serve an SFN cell during network reconstruction and
capacity expansion. When BBUs are interconnected using a universal switching unit (USU),
and with the proper software configuration, inter-BBU SFN techniques allow RRUs, that are
connected to different BBUs, to serve a single SFN cell. This minimizes the changes in
physical connections between RRUs and BBUs during SFN network reconstruction, reducing
the need of on-site O&M.
Inter-BBU SFN techniques cover TDLOFD-001080 Inter-BBU SFN and TDLOFD-001082
Inter-BBU Adaptive SFN/SDMA. Inter-BBU SFN is based on inter-BBU interconnection.
Different BBUs are interconnected using USU3900 or USU3910 so that RRUs that are
connected to different BBUs can be combined to serve an SFN cell. Figure 6-1 shows an
inter-BBU SFN cell when BBUs are interconnected using a USU3900.

eRAN TDD
Figure 6-1 Inter-BBU SFN cell
With inter-BBU SFN techniques, a maximum of seven RRUs connected to BBPs in different
BBUs can serve an SFN cell. Compared with an SFN cell served by three RRUs, the SFN cell
served by seven RRUs increases the average SINR on the PDCCH and PDSCH.
NOTE
BBU3910A does not support inter-BBU SFN.
Reliability
For inter-BBU SFN, the BBU on which the SFN cell is set up is known as the primary BBU
and the other BBUs are known as secondary BBUs.
NOTE
When an SFN cell is set up by running the ADD CELL command on the primary eNodeB, the
Cell.EuCellStandbyMode parameter must be set to ACTIVE(Active). In addition, engineers must run
the ADD SFNCELLBIND command on the primary eNodeB to specify auxiliary eNodeBs for the SFN
cell.
The primary BBU houses the primary BBP of the SFN cell. After an inter-BBU SFN cell is
activated, the information about the primary BBP can be queried by running the DSP CELL
command on the primary BBU.
To enable the RRUs connected to secondary BBUs to serve an SFN cell, the SFN cell and the
sector equipment of the secondary BBUs must be associated by running the ADD
SFNAUXRESBIND command on each secondary BBU.
To prevent service interruptions caused by the unavailability of all RRUs and improve service
reliability in an inter-BBU SFN cell, a standby cell can be added by running the ADD CELL
command with the Cell.EuCellStandbyMode parameter set to STANDBY(Standby) on a

eRAN TDD
secondary BBU. A standby cell can be configured as either an SFN cell or a common cell. It
cannot be configured as an inter-BBU SFN cell. After a standby cell is added, the RRUs
connected to the secondary BBU start to serve the standby cell for service provisioning when
any of the following faults persists for 10 minutes:
l Inter-BBU interconnection links are faulty.

l The clock accuracy error of the primary BBU is greater than 1.5 s.
l The primary BBP is faulty.
l Transmission of the primary BBU is faulty.
l The main control board in the primary BBU is faulty.
l The SFN cell configured on the primary BBU has been deactivated.
l The clock accuracy error of a secondary BBU ranges from 1.5 s to 10 s.
After the fault is rectified, the standby cell is automatically deactivated and the SFN cell
continues to provide services.
NOTE
l When the inter-BBU interconnection links on the control plane are functional, the operating
frequency of the standby cell must be the same as that of the SFN cell configured on the primary
BBU. Otherwise, the standby cell cannot be activated.
l When the primary BBP is faulty, the primary BBU attempts to select a new primary BBP. If the
primary BBU successfully selects a new primary BBP, the SFN cell continues providing services. If
the primary BBU fails to select a new primary BBP, the SFN cell is deactivated and the standby cell
starts to provide services.

connections between BBUs and USU3910s, see USU3910-based BBU Interconnection
Feature Parameter Description.
Topology Scanning
In BBU interconnection scenarios, interconnection cables must be properly connected
between USUs and BBUs and between USUs. If they are connected incorrectly, inter-BBU
SFN performance is compromised. The topology scanning function enables users to remotely
check cable connections in BBU interconnection scenarios and therefore facilitates fault
identification and improves O&M efficiency.
After the BBU and USU are powered on, the BBU and USU scan the interconnection port
topology of the USU and each BBP, respectively. Then, they check whether the obtained
topology complies with interconnection rules. In case of inconsistency, the BBU and USU
report ALM-26315 Inter-BBU Port Connection Error and ALM-27110 Inter-Port Connection
Error, respectively.
When topology scanning is triggered, the eNodeB and USU periodically scan the
interconnection topologies and update the topology information in real time. The DSP
INTERCONTOPO command can be executed to query the interconnection topologies on
eNodeBs and USUs. The command output contains the following information:

SFN Feature Parameter Description 7 Application Restrictions
7 Application Restrictions
This chapter provides application restrictions of inter-BBP and inter-BBU SFN imposed in the
following scenarios: The primary baseband equipment is bound. The remaining primary BBP
resources are queried. Primary BBP adjustments are queried and primary BBP resources are
adjusted.
Binding with the Primary Baseband Equipment

When inter-BBP SFN is used, the primary baseband equipment is added using different
methods in single-carrier scenarios and in multi-carrier scenarios.
l In single-carrier scenarios, the eNodeB automatically selects a BBP as the primary BBP
in the cell activation process.
l In 10 MHz+20 MHz multi-carrier scenarios, the BBP in the sector equipment and the
primary baseband equipment must be bound with the SFN cell by running the ADD
EUCELLSECTOREQM and ADD EUCELLPRIBBEQM commands, respectively.
When the SFN cell is activated, the eNodeB automatically selects a BBP from the
primary BBP group as the primary BBP of the cell.
NOTE
l When the ADD EUCELLPRIBBEQM, MOD EUCELLPRIBBEQM, or MOD

BASEBANDEQM command is executed and the primary baseband equipment differs from that to
be bound, the SFN cell will be re-established. Therefore, exercise cautions before running these
commands.
l If a cell has been bound with the primary baseband equipment, the primary BBP of the cell is
selected only from the bound primary baseband equipment. If a cell is not bound with the primary
baseband equipment, only the BBP not bound with any cell can be selected as the primary BBP of
the cell.
l If any of the cells configured on an eNodeB need to be bound with the primary baseband equipment,
it is recommended that all the cells configured on the eNodeB be bound with the primary baseband
equipment. If the recommendation is not implemented, a large number of primary BBP resource
fragments exist and some cells may not be activated.
After the SFN cell is activated, information about the primary BBP can be queried by running
the DSP CELL command.
Query of the Remaining Primary BBP Resources

Before capacity expansion, ensure that primary BBP resources are sufficient. If primary BBP
resources are insufficient, capacity expansion may fail. You can query information about the
primary BBP resources by running the DSP PRIBBPRESINFO command.

eRAN TDD
SFN Feature Parameter Description 7 Application Restrictions
NOTE
l The remaining primary BBP resources can be queried only for 8T8R cells, 4T4R cells, SFN cells,
and LampSite cells. The SFN cells can be 8T8R, 4T4R, or 4T4R+8T8R.
l The query results contain only the BBPs configured with at least one cell. Capacity expansion must
be performed based on BBP processing capabilities.
Query and Adjustment of Primary BBP Resources

The algorithm for pre-allocating primary BBP resources is used when an eNodeB allocates
primary BBPs. This algorithm may generate primary BBP resource fragments. If this occurs,
primary BBP resources may fail to be allocated and the SFN cells may be deactivated. To
minimize the number of SFN cells deactivated due to primary BBP resource fragments,
primary BBP resources need to be adjusted by running the DSP PRIBBPADJUST and STR
PRIBBADUST commands after capacity expansion.
NOTE
When primary BBP resources fail to be allocated for multiple cells or non-adjustment cells are faulty,
deactivate the non-adjustment cells and then adjust and activate adjustment cells until all cells are
adjusted.
Table 7-1 Restrictions on querying and adjusting primary BBP resources
Item Description
Application l Network capacity is expanded.

scenarios l Primary BBP resources fail to be allocated for the adjustment cell.
l Primary BBP resources of only 8T8R cells, 4T4R cells, SFN cells,
and LampSite cells can be queried and adjusted.
Prerequisites l The CPU usage is lower than 50%. The query and adjustment will
increase the CPU usage.
l Non-adjustment cells are all activated and all BBPs are available.
Requirements l Primary BBP resources can be adjusted only within the primary BBP
for the query group.
and adjustment l The DSP PRIBBPADJUST and STR PRIBBADUST commands
process cannot be run simultaneously. Otherwise, a message indicating a
failure to run the MML command is displayed.
l Configuration data cannot be added, modified, or deleted in the
adjustment process. Otherwise, the STR PRIBBADUST command
execution process is aborted.
l If the eNodeB fails to obtain a resource allocation solution within 30
minutes after the STR PRIBBADUST command is run, the search
times out. In this case, adjust SFN networking based on BBP
capabilities.
NOTE
During the adjustment, the algorithm for adjusting primary BBP resources is used.
If the resource allocation solution recommended by the algorithm for adjusting
primary BBP resources does not meet the rules used by the algorithm for pre-
allocating primary BBP resources, the number of inter-BBP cells increases, leading
to a high inter-BBP bandwidth usage.

System Capacity
l The average cell throughput decreases to about 51% in the downlink when three RRUs
serve an SFN cell in a typical dense urban area and the load ratio is 100%.
l The average throughput for a single UE increases by about 53% in the downlink and by
about 59% at the cell edge in the downlink when three RRUs serve an SFN cell in a
typical dense urban area and the load ratio is 100%.
l In typical indoor coverage scenarios, SFN networking increases the average cell
throughput when compared with single-RRU or multi-RRU networking.
Network Performance
l The number of handovers decreases and the handover success rate increases, and
therefore the service drop rate decreases.
l Large-scale SFN deployment improves the SINR of the entire network.
The average SINRs on the PDCCH and PDSCH increase by 2 dB to 3 dB when
three RRUs serve an SFN cell in a typical dense urban area.
In typical indoor coverage scenarios, the average SINRs on the PDCCH and
PDSCH increase obviously.

NOTE
l Adaptive SFN/SDMA is recommended when traffic in the SFN cell is heavy.

l Adaptive SFN/SDMA is not recommended in high-speed scenarios, in which UE attributes change
frequently.
l It is recommended that PDCCH SDMA in SFN be activated when the PDCCH of an SFN cell is
heavily loaded, there are a large number of UEs scheduled by each TTI, and the Adaptive SFN/
SDMA feature has been activated. If PDCCH DCS in SFN has been activated before PDCCH
SDMA in SFN is activated, PDCCH DCS in SFN must be deactivated.
l It is recommended that PDCCH DCS in SFN be activated when the PDCCH load is heavy,
interference between SFN cells is severe, and Adaptive SFN/SDMA has been enabled. If PDCCH
SDMA in SFN has been activated before PDCCH DCS in SFN is activated, PDCCH SDMA in SFN
must be deactivated.
Differences in System Configurations

Compared with non-SFN networking, intra- and inter-BBP SFN techniques have the
following requirements:
l Multiple sectors and multiple pieces of sector equipment must be configured, because
each RRU requires one sector and one piece of sector equipment.
l When an SFN cell is added by running the ADD CELL command, the
cell.MultiRruCellFlag parameter must be set to BOOLEAN_TRUE(True) and the
cell.MultiRruCellMode parameter to SFN(SFN).
l The SFN cell must be associated with multiple pieces of sector equipment.
l After the SFN cell is configured, the following parameters must be set based on the
network plan:

Areas
l Collect the SINR and SINR distribution in a live network to determine whether to enable
the SFN feature.
l Collect traffic requirements to determine whether to enable the adaptive SFN/SDMA
feature.
10.2.2 Interference eNodeB and LBBP Configurations

l Collect information about eNodeBs and LBBPs that serve the cells in the interference
area. If the cells subject to interference are served by the same LBBP, the SFN or
adaptive SFN/SDMA feature is recommended. If these cells are served by different
LBBPs in the same BBU on an eNodeB, the inter-BBP SFN or inter-BBP adaptive SFN/
SDMA feature is recommended.
l Collect information such as space and power available at sites that need to deploy the
inter-BBU SFN feature. Based on the collected information, determine the number of
BBUs that can be installed in the same equipment room and the configuration principles
of the LBBPs in these BBUs.

eRAN TDD
10.3 Planning
RF Planning
l In outdoor coverage scenarios, the cell bandwidth must be 10 MHz or 20 MHz.
l In indoor coverage scenarios, the cell bandwidth must be 20 MHz.
l SFN is not supported when the cell bandwidth is 5 or 15 MHz.
Network Planning
The network planning for the SFN networking mode is the same as that for the common
networking mode.
Planning for the Primary eNodeB in Inter-BBU SFN Scenarios

To plan the primary eNodeB of an inter-BBU SFN cell, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Count the RRUs serving each SFN cell, sort SFN cells in descending order by the number of
their serving RRUs, and then determine the primary eNodeB of each SFN cell starting from
the SFN cell served by the maximum number of RRUs.
Step 2 Select the eNodeB that provides the maximum number of RRUs serving an SFN cell as a
candidate primary eNodeB of the SFN cell.
Step 3 Check whether the eNodeB meets all the following conditions:
l The number of cells configured on the eNodeB has not reached the upper limit.
l The number of physical cells configured on the eNodeB has not reached the upper limit.
l Number of SFN cells with each served by four or more RRUs (Number of LBBPd
boards + Number of UBBP boards x 2)
l Layer 2 resources meet the BBP specifications provided in the following table.
Table 10-3 BBP specifications (Layer-2 logical cell configuration)

BBP Model Specifications

UBBPd6/ When the cell bandwidth is 10 MHz or 20 MHz, the total number of
UBBPd9/ cells is less than 6, and the total number of RRUs is less than 9, any
UMDUa3 combination of cell configurations is supported.
l The total number of out-of-eNodeB and into-eNodeB physical cells is less than or equal
to 14 times the number of optical fibers between the eNodeB and USUs.
NOTE
The number of optical fibers between the eNodeB and USUs must be equal to or less than the
smaller value between 4 and the number of LBBPd and UBBP boards installed in slots 0, 1, 2,
and 3 on the eNodeB.
An into-eNodeB physical cell for an eNodeB (for example, eNodeB 0) is a physical cell that
resides on an eNodeB different from eNodeB 0 and serves an SFN cell whose primary eNodeB
is eNodeB 0.
An out-of-eNodeB physical cell for an eNodeB (for example, eNodeB 0) is a physical cell that
resides on eNodeB 0 and serves an SFN cell whose primary eNodeB is not eNodeB 0.
"Physical cell" mentioned in this section corresponds to one carrier of each RRU.
The LBBPc board does not support the configuration of 8T8R L2 logical cells.
As shown in Figure 10-1, eNodeB 0 is configured with two into-eNodeB physical cells
and two out-of-eNodeB physical cells, and eNodeB 1 is configured with two into-
eNodeB physical cells and one out-of-eNodeB physical cell.

If one or more eNodeBs meet all of the preceding conditions, go to Step 4. If no eNodeB
meets all of the preceding conditions, go to Step 5.
Step 4 Select an eNodeB as the primary eNodeB of an SFN cell. If only one eNodeB meets all of the
preceding conditions, the eNodeB functions as the primary eNodeB of the SFN cell. If
multiple eNodeBs meet all of the preceding conditions, the eNodeB that provides the
minimum number of RRUs processed by Layer 2 is preferentially selected as the primary
eNodeB of the SFN cell.
NOTE
The total number of RRUs processed by Layer 2 equals the total number of RRUs serving any of the
SFN cells configured on the eNodeB, including RRUs connected to different BBUs.
Step 5 Select the eNodeB providing the second largest number of RRUs serving an SFN cell as the
candidate primary eNodeB of the SFN cell and repeat Step 3 until the primary eNodeB is
selected.
Step 6 Repeat Step 1 to Step 5 to select the primary eNodeBs for all the SFN cells.

Hardware Planning for Outdoor Coverage

4T4R or 8T8R RRUs must be used in outdoor coverage scenarios.
In outdoor coverage scenarios:
An intra-BBP SFN cell can be served by a maximum of three RRUs when the LBBPc,
LBBPd, UBBPd4, or UMDUa1 is used. An intra-BBP SFN cell can be served by a maximum
of six RRUs when the , UBBPd6, UBBPd9, or UMDUa3 is used.
l An inter-BBP or inter-BBU SFN cell can be served by a maximum of seven RRUs.
BBP capabilities must be considered before deploying an intra-BBP, inter-BBP, or inter-BBU
SFN cell. Table 10-4 and Table 10-5 describe BBP processing capabilities.

l Each BBU can house a maximum of six BBPs.

l When the cell bandwidth is 20 MHz, intra-BBP SFN techniques are not supported, because only one
RRU can be connected to each LBBPc.
l An 8T8R RRU and a 4T4R RRU cannot be connected to the same BBP.
When four or more RRUs are used to serve an inter-BBP or inter-BBU SFN cell, one LBBPd
or UBBPd must be installed.
Inter-BBU SFN techniques also have the following requirements:
l In addition to the LBBPc, other BBP models must be configured in the BBU.
l When USU3900s are used for BBU interconnection, one USU is required if five or fewer
BBUs are interconnected. If 6 to 25 BBUs are interconnected, two levels of USUs are
required. One first-level USU can connect a maximum of five BBUs. Multiple first-level
USUs (not more than five USUs) are interconnected to one second-level USU.
l When USU3910s are used for BBU interconnection, one USU is required if five or fewer
BBUs are interconnected. If 6 to 60 BBUs are interconnected, two levels of USUs are
required. One first-level USU can connect a maximum of five BBUs. Multiple first-level
USUs (not more than 12 USUs) are interconnected to one or two second-level USUs.

Hardware Planning for Indoor Coverage

2T2R pRRUs must be used for indoor coverage in SFN networking mode. Currently, only
pRRU3901 is the 2T2R pRRU.
A maximum of eight pRRUs can serve an aggregated pRRU cell.
In indoor coverage scenarios, an SFN cell can be served by:
l A maximum of seven pRRUs
l A maximum of seven pRRU-aggregation cells are combined to form one SFN cell.
l pRRUs + pRRU-aggregation cells: The total number of pRRUs and pRRU-aggregation
cells must range from 2 to 7.
NOTE
l Each BBU can house a maximum of six BBPs.

l In indoor coverage scenarios, inter-BBU SFN is not supported.
10.4 Deployment of Intra- and Inter-BBP SFN Techniques

This section describes the procedures for deploying the following SFN features:
l TDLOFD-001075 SFN
10.4.1 Requirements
Operating Environment
l In outdoor coverage scenarios, the BBP.WM parameter must be set to
TDD_ENHANCE(Support TDD BF) when the baseband processing board is LBBPc
or LBBPd.
When the BBP.WM parameter is set to TDD_ENHANCE for LBBPc, LBBPc+LBBPc
convergence is not supported. In the LBBPc+LBBPd convergence scenario, the
converged board must be LBBPd instead of LBBPc.
l In indoor coverage scenarios, the BBP.WM parameter must be set to TDD when the
baseband processing board is LBBPc or LBBPd.
l SFN and adaptive SFN/SDMA support subframe configurations 1 and 2 and special
subframe configuration 7.
l Inter-BBP SFN and inter-BBP adaptive SFN/SDMA support only subframe
configuration 2 and special subframe configuration 7.

eRAN TDD
l The Topo Type parameter in the RRUCHAIN MO must be set to CHAIN(CHAIN).

NOTE
LBBPc boards do not support CBF.

It is recommended that CBF be enabled when the UBBPd serves as the primary BBP.

NOTE
l When SFN and Adaptive SFN/SDMA are enabled, the number of feature licenses and capacity
licenses required for an SFN cell is calculated based on the number of RRUs serving the SFN cell.
For example, if an SFN or adaptive SFN/SDMA cell comprises three physical cells and DL 2x2
MIMO is enabled, three license units are required for each of the following license control items:
Number of cells, SFN, Adaptive SFN/SDMA, and DL 2x2 MIMO.
l If any of the following features is enabled, the feature license units must be purchased for both
primary and secondary BBUs: Inter-BBP SFN, Inter-BBU SFN, Inter-BBP Adaptive SFN/SDMA,
and Inter-BBU Adaptive SFN/SDMA. The number of license units purchased for any BBU is
determined in the same manner as that described in the previous point.
l When inter-BBU SFN or inter-BBU Adaptive SFN/SDMA is enabled, ALM-26819 Data
Configuration Exceeding Licensed Limit is reported only for the primary BBU if the licenses on
both primary and secondary BBUs are insufficient. If the licenses of the primary BBU meet service
requirements but those of the secondary BBU do not, this alarm is reported on the secondary BBU.
10.4.2 Precautions
l The activation of an SFN cell may deactivate and activate some activated cells served by
the eNodeB, which ensures optimal resource usage.
l When an SFN cell is served by RRUs connected to both LBBPc and LBBPd or to both
LBBPc and UBBPd and the PUCCHCFG.DeltaShift parameter is set to
DS1_DELTA_SHIFT(ds1), the parameter value will be automatically changed to
DS2_DELTA_SHIFT(ds2) after the SFN cell is activated.
l BBPs can be combined in LBBPc-only, LBBPd-only, UBBPd-only, LBBPc+LBBPd, or
LBBPd+UBBPd mode for an SFN cell. Table 10-6 describes BBP combination mode
switching and the impact of switching on an inter-BBP SFN cell.

before the SFN cell is activated.

BBU, they must be configured on different BBPs. In addition, the following
requirements must be met:
The carrier with the bandwidth of 20 MHz is preferentially configured on the
LBBPd or UBBPd, and the carrier with the bandwidth of 10 MHz is preferentially
configured on the LBBPc.
For the common cell, BBPs must be grouped based on cell bandwidths and then be
added to baseband equipment. The cells with different bandwidths must be
configured with different baseband equipment.
For the SFN cell, if the BBU configured with the SFN cell houses the LBBPc and
LBBPd or UBBPd, layer 1 must be bound to a single BBP and layer 2 must be
bound to baseband equipment based on cell bandwidths.
If the BBU does not house any LBBPc, layer 1 and layer 2 need to be bound to
baseband equipment based on cell bandwidths.
l The slots for installing the LBBPd and UBBPd are arranged in the descending order of
priority as follows: Slot 3 > Slot 2 > Slot 0 > Slot 1 > Slot 4 > Slot 5. The slots for
installing the LBBPc are arranged in the descending order of priority as follows: Slot 5 >
Slot 4 > Slot 1 > Slot 0 > Slot 2 > Slot 3. The UBBPd, LBBPd, and LBBPc must be
installed in sequence when all of them are required.

eRAN TDD
l In 20 MHz+10 MHz multi-carrier scenarios, the RRU must be connected to the BBP
configured with the 20 MHz carrier and then to the BBP configured with the 10 MHz
carrier through the backplane.
l The LBBPc configured with the 10 MHz carrier must be used with a BBP configured
with the 20 MHz carrier to perform CPRI aggregation. CPRI aggregation is not available
between a BBP installed in slot 0 or 1 and another BBP installed in slot 4 or 5. This
restriction applies only to the BBU3900.

NOTE
l This document provides configuration guidelines for newly deployed SFN cells. For details about
how to combine common cells into SFN cells, see eRAN(TDD) Reconfiguration Guide.
l The following description uses an SFN cell served by three RRUs as an example. The parameter
settings in the following commands are used for reference only. Set the parameters based on network
requirements.
Step 1 Add sectors.
Run the ADD SECTOR command to add sectors. In the command, specify the number of
antennas in a sector and each antenna's RRU cabinet number, subrack number, slot number,
and port number. In addition, set the Create Default Sector Equipment parameter to
TRUE(TRUE), enabling the eNodeB to create the default sector equipment.
Example (taking 4T4R sectors for example):

ADD SECTOR: SECTORID=0, ANTNUM=4, ANT1CN=0, ANT1SRN=60, ANT1SN=0, ANT1N=R0A,
ANT2CN=0, ANT2SRN=60, ANT2SN=0, ANT2N=R0B, ANT3CN=0, ANT3SRN=60, ANT3SN=0,
ANT3N=R0C, ANT4CN=0, ANT4SRN=60, ANT4SN=0, ANT4N=R0D, CREATESECTOREQM=TRUE,
SECTOREQMID=0;
SECTOREQMID=1;
SECTOREQMID=2;
Step 2 Add an SFN cell.
Run the ADD CELL command to add an SFN cell. In this step, set the
Cell.MultiRruCellFlag parameter to BOOLEAN_TRUE(True), the
Cell.MultiRruCellMode parameter to SFN(SFN), and the SectorEqmNum parameter to the
actual number of RRUs to be combined. Set the other parameters by referring to the
parameter settings of common cells.
Example (taking 4T4R SFN cell for example):

ADD CELL: LOCALCELLID=0, CELLNAME="TDD_SFN", FREQBAND=41, ULEARFCNCFGIND=NOT_CFG,
DLEARFCN=40340, ULBANDWIDTH=CELL_BW_N100, DLBANDWIDTH=CELL_BW_N100, CELLID=100,
PHYCELLID=100, FDDTDDIND=CELL_TDD, SUBFRAMEASSIGNMENT=SA2,
SPECIALSUBFRAMEPATTERNS=SSP7, EUCELLSTANDBYMODE=ACTIVE, ROOTSEQUENCEIDX=0,
CUSTOMIZEDBANDWIDTHCFGIND=NOT_CFG, EMERGENCYAREAIDCFGIND=NOT_CFG,
UEPOWERMAXCFGIND=NOT_CFG, MULTIRRUCELLFLAG=BOOLEAN_TRUE, MULTIRRUCELLMODE=SFN,
SECTOREQMNUM=3, TXRXMODE=4T4R;
Step 3 Run the ADD CELLOP command to configure operator information.
Example:

eRAN TDD
ADD CELLOP: LocalCellId=0, TrackingAreaId=0;
Step 4 Run the ADD BASEBANDEQM command to add baseband equipment.

Example:
ADD BASEBANDEQM: BASEBANDEQMID=0, BASEBANDEQMTYPE=ULDL, UMTSDEMMODE=NULL, SN1=3;
Step 5 Run the ADD EUCELLSECTOREQM command to add sector equipment.

The sector equipment ID must be consistent with that configured in Step 1 and the local cell
ID must be consistent with that configured in Step 2. The sectors served by one RRU can be
added to the SFN cell each time this MML command is executed. You can run this command
multiple times to configure the RRUs for the SFN cell.
Example:
ADD EUCELLSECTOREQM: LOCALCELLID=0, SECTOREQMID=0, BASEBANDEQMID=0;
Step 6 Run the MOD CELLALGOSWITCH command and set the

CellAlgoSwitch.SfnUlSchSwitch and CellAlgoSwitch.SfnDlSchSwitch parameters based on
network requirements.
Example 1: Run the following command to enable joint scheduling:
MOD CELLALGOSWITCH: LOCALCELLID=0, SFNULSCHSWITCH=JOINT, SFNDLSCHSWITCH=JOINT;
Example 2: Run the following command to enable adaptive scheduling:

MOD CELLALGOSWITCH: LOCALCELLID=0, SFNULSCHSWITCH=ADAPTIVE,
SFNDLSCHSWITCH=ADAPTIVE;
Step 7 Run the MOD CELLALGOSWITCH command to enable or disable load-based adaptive
SFN/SDMA.
Example 1: Run the following command to enable load-based adaptive SFN/SDMA:
MOD CELLALGOSWITCH: LOCALCELLID=0, SFNLOADBASEDADPTSWITCH=ON;
Example 2: Run the following command to disable load-based adaptive SFN/SDMA:

MOD CELLALGOSWITCH: LOCALCELLID=0, SFNLOADBASEDADPTSWITCH=OFF;
Step 8 (Optional) Run the MOD CELLALGOSWITCH command to configure PDCCH DCS in
SFN, PDCCH SDMA, PUCCH dynamic ACK SDMA, uplink layer-2 selective reception,
SFN downlink two-load-level adaption, or SFN downlink scheduling attribute adjustment, or
SFN CBF.
Example 1: Run the following command to enable PDCCH DCS in SFN and layer-2 selective
reception:
MOD CELLALGOSWITCH: LOCALCELLID=0,
SFNALGOSWITCH=SfnPdcchDcsSwitch-1&SfnUll2SelectiveRcvSwitch-1;
Example 2: Run the following command to disable PDCCH DCS in SFN and layer-2
selective reception:
Step 9 (Optional) Run the MOD CELLPDCCHALGO command to set the SFN PDCCH DCS
threshold or the SFN PDCCH SDMA threshold.
Example: Run the following command to set the SFN PDCCH DCS threshold to 20 dB:
MOD CELLPDCCHALGO: LOCALCELLID=0, SfnPdcchDcsThd=40;

eRAN TDD
Step 10 (Optional) Run the MOD CELLDLSCHALGO command to configure the downlink load
measurement period, downlink heavy-load threshold, downlink light-load threshold, and

10.5 Deployment of Inter-BBU SFN Techniques

This section describes the procedures for deploying the following inter-BBU SFN features:

eRAN TDD

NOTE
The following sections use USU3900s as an example to describe how to interconnect BBUs. For details,
see USU3900 Installation Guide, USU3900 Initial Configuration Guide, and USU3900-based Multi-
BBU Interconnection Feature Parameter Description.
For details about how to interconnect BBUs using USU3910s, see USU3910 Installation Guide,
USU3910 Initial Configuration Guide, and USU3910-based Multi-BBU Interconnection Feature
Parameter Description.
10.5.1 Requirements
Operating Environment
l In indoor coverage scenarios, inter-BBU SFN is not supported.
l In outdoor coverage scenarios, the BBP.WM parameter must be set to
TDD_ENHANCE when the baseband processing board is LBBPc or LBBPd.
When the BBP.WM parameter is set to TDD_ENHANCE for LBBPc, LBBPc+LBBPc
convergence is not supported. In the LBBPc+LBBPd convergence scenario, the
converged board must be LBBPd instead of LBBPc.
l Inter-BBU SFN and inter-BBU adaptive SFN/SDMA support only uplink-downlink
subframe configuration 2 and special subframe configuration 7.
l Inter-BBU SFN and inter-BBU adaptive SFN/SDMA require that the TDD Frame
Offset parameter be set to the same value for primary and secondary eNodeBs by
running the MML command MOD ENODEBFRAMEOFFSET.
l The Topo Type parameter in the RRUCHAIN MO must be set to CHAIN(CHAIN).
l In inter-BBU SFN, the same software version such as V100R009C00SPC050 must be

loaded for different BBUs connected to the same USU.
l In inter-BBU SFN, the USU software must match the BBU software. For details, see the
relevant release notes.
l BBU3910A does not support inter-BBU SFN.
NOTE
LBBPc boards do not support CBF.

It is recommended that CBF be enabled when the UBBPd serves as the primary BBP.

10.5.2 Precautions
l The X2 interface is required only when at least one cell is configured on an eNodeB. If
all the cells are deleted on an eNodeB during network reconstruction or optimization,
remove the X2 interface.
l The activation of an SFN cell may deactivate and activate some activated cells served by
the eNodeB, which ensures optimal resource usage.
l When an SFN cell is served by RRUs connected to both LBBPc and LBBPd or to both
LBBPc and UBBPd and the PUCCHCFG.DeltaShift parameter is set to
DS1_DELTA_SHIFT(ds1), the parameter value will be automatically changed to
DS2_DELTA_SHIFT(ds2) after the SFN cell is activated.
l BBPs can be combined in LBBPc-only, LBBPd-only, UBBPd-only, LBBPc+LBBPd, or
LBBPd+UBBPd mode for an SFN cell. Table 10-7 describes BBP combination mode
switching and the impact of switching on an inter-BBP SFN cell.

LBBPc+LBBPd LBBPc+LBBPd No
l If the BBU configured with an SFN cell houses the LBBPc and LBBPd or UBBPd, layer
1 must be bound to a BBP by running the ADD EUCELLSECTOREQM command
before the SFN cell is activated.
l When two cells with the bandwidths of 10 and 20 MHz are configured on the same
BBU, they must be configured on different BBPs. In addition, the following
requirements must be met:
The carrier with the bandwidth of 20 MHz is preferentially configured on the
LBBPd or UBBPd, and the carrier with the bandwidth of 10 MHz is preferentially
configured on the LBBPc.
For the common cell, BBPs must be grouped based on cell bandwidths and then be
added to baseband equipment. The cells with different bandwidths must be
configured with different baseband equipment.
For the SFN cell, if the BBU configured with the SFN cell houses the LBBPc and
LBBPd or UBBPd, layer 1 must be bound to a single BBP and layer 2 must be
bound to baseband equipment based on cell bandwidths.
If the BBU does not house any LBBPc, layer 1 and layer 2 need to be bound to
baseband equipment based on cell bandwidths.
l The slots for installing the LBBPd and UBBPd are arranged in the descending order of
priority as follows: Slot 3 > Slot 2 > Slot 0 > Slot 1 > Slot 4 > Slot 5. The slots for
installing the LBBPc are arranged in the descending order of priority as follows: Slot 5 >
Slot 4 > Slot 1 > Slot 0 > Slot 2 > Slot 3. The UBBPd, LBBPd, and LBBPc must be
installed in sequence when all of them are required. This requirement does not apply to
the UBBPd, LBBPd, or LBBPc that has been installed.

eRAN TDD
l In 20 MHz+10 MHz multi-carrier scenarios, the RRU must be connected to the BBP
configured with the 20 MHz carrier and then to the BBP configured with the 10 MHz
carrier through the backplane.
l The LBBPc configured with the 10 MHz carrier must be used with a BBP configured
with the 20 MHz carrier to perform CPRI aggregation. CPRI aggregation is not available
between a BBP installed in slot 0 or 1 and another BBP installed in slot 4 or 5.

If the BBP on which an SFN cell has been configured fails, the SFN cell is automatically
deactivated and ALM-29240 Cell Unavailable is reported. After the fault is rectified, the SFN
cell is automatically activated.
For details about alarm handling, see eNodeB Alarm Reference.

l The primary BBP on which an SFN cell has been configured fails.
If the primary BBP on which an SFN cell has been configured fails, the SFN cell is
automatically deactivated and ALM-29240 Cell Unavailable is reported. The primary
eNodeB then attempts to select one of its BBPs as the primary BBP. If the attempt
succeeds, the SFN cell is reactivated. If the attempt fails, troubleshoot the primary BBP.
After the fault is rectified, the SFN cell is automatically activated. For details about
alarm handling, see eNodeB Alarm Reference.
l A secondary BBP on which an SFN cell has been configured fails.
If a secondary BBP on which an SFN cell has been configured fails, all the RRUs
connected to this BBP are deactivated and ALM-29248 RF Out of Service is reported.
After the fault in the secondary BBP is rectified, these RRUs are automatically activated.
For details about alarm handling, see eNodeB Alarm Reference.
l The primary BBP fails to be allocated.
When a large number of resource fragments exist and the primary BBP fails to be
allocated, the SFN cell fails to be activated and ALM-29240 Cell Unavailable is
reported. In this case, run the DSP PRIBBPADJUST command to check whether BBP
resources are sufficient and how to adjust BBP resources of other cells to ensure that the
primary BBP is successfully allocated to the SFN cell. Table 10-16 describes the
displayed information and the corresponding handling methods.

to be allocated, handle the fault by referring to Inter-BBP SFN and Inter-BBP
Adaptive SFN/SDMA.
l The IDX1 link is disconnected.
When the IDX1 link is disconnected, the secondary eNodeB reports ALM-29248 RF Out
of Service. For details about alarm handling, see eNodeB Alarm Reference. When the
IDX1 link is disconnected, the secondary eNodeB cannot obtain the cell ID and name.
NOTE
Therefore, the values of the Cell Name and Cell ID parameters in the alarm information are
invalid.
l In BBU interconnection scenarios, a fault may occur between a BBU and a USU or
between USUs:
When a fault occurs between a BBU and a USU, the BBU and USU report
ALM-26315 Inter-BBU Port Connection Error and ALM-27109 Inter-Port
Connection Error, respectively. Run the DSP INTERCONTOPO command to
query the interconnection topologies on the eNodeB and USU.
If the interconnection cables are connected incorrectly, instruct field engineers to
adjust cable connections. When a fault occurs between USUs, the USU reports
ALM-27110 Inter-Port Connection Error. Run the DSP INTERCONTOPO
command to query the interconnection topology on the USU. If the interconnection
cables are connected incorrectly, instruct field engineers to adjust cable
connections.
