Cell RRUs in One Cell Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
A key feature in the LampSite UMTS solution and the LampSite UMTS solution for outdoor
residential areas, WRFD-141202 Independent Demodulation of Signals from Multiple Small
Cell RRUs in One Cell combines the areas covered by multiple pRRUs or RRUs into one
logical cell.
The LampSite solution is mainly used for indoor coverage. This solution consists of the
baseband unit (BBU), RRU HUB (RHUB), and pico remote radio unit (pRRU).
The LampSite solution for outdoor residential areas is used for outdoor coverage in residential
areas. This solution consists of the baseband unit (BBU), optical RRU HUB (RHUB), and
remote radio unit (RRU). Currently, only the RRU3930E supports this feature. Descriptions
about networking of the LampSite solution in this document also apply to the LampSite
solution for outdoor residential areas.
The RRU3930E works only on one frequency band and supports LTE only, UMTS only, or
UMTS+LTE mixed deployment. It features a low transmit power and plays the same role as
the pRRU. Descriptions about the pRRU in this document also apply to the RRU3930E.
2.2 Benefits
Feature Benefits
The WRFD-141202 Independent Demodulation of Signals from Multiple Small Cell RRUs in
One Cell feature effectively mitigates interference and reduces handovers and call drops
through flexible capacity-based division of sectors and cells.
Feature Comparison
Currently, Huawei products support the following features that allow for multiple RRUs in
one cell: WRFD-021350 Independent Demodulation of Signals from Multiple RRUs in One
Cell and WRFD-010205 Cell Digital Combination and Split.

WCDMA RAN
l Compared with WRFD-021350 Independent Demodulation of Signals from Multiple

RRUs in One Cell, this feature extends the coverage of a cell by accommodating more
pRRUs/RRUs in the cell, reduces handovers, and enhances user experience.
l Compared with WRFD-010205 Cell Digital Combination and Split, this feature
accommodates more pRRUs/RRUs in a cell and reduces the rise in uplink noise floor
caused by these pRRUs/RRUs, improving uplink coverage.
NOTE
When the cell is configured with only one pRRU/RRU, this feature works in the same manner and
provides the same benefits as the WRFD-021350 Independent Demodulation of Signals from
Multiple RRUs in One Cell feature. When the cell is configured with only one cell sector
equipment group, this feature works in the same manner and yields the same benefits as the
WRFD-010205 Cell Digital Combination and Split feature.
2.3 Architecture
One Cell feature uses the following techniques:
l Digital combination and splitting within a cell sector equipment group
l Independent demodulation for each cell sector equipment group
l Cell-level desensitization and group-level desensitization
In the uplink, an RHUB combines signals from a cell sector equipment group and then
separately sends signals from different cell sector equipment groups to the BBU for
independent demodulation. All cell sector equipment groups connected to the BBU form a
local cell. Cell-level desensitization and group-level desensitization are used to reduce
interference between cell sector equipment groups and between a LampSite cell and its
neighboring cells. Figure 2-1 illustrates how this feature works.

3 Technical Description
3.1 Concepts
Multiple pRRUs/RRUs in One Cell
By combining the areas covered by multiple pRRUs/RRUs into one cell, this technique helps
to achieve flexible network coverage. See Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 Multiple pRRUs/RRUs in one cell
Sector Equipment Group

A sector equipment group is a group of physical pRRUs/RRUs. See Figure 3-2.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 3-2 Sector equipment group
Cell Sector Equipment Group

A cell sector equipment group is a carrier configured on one or multiple pRRUs/RRUs
involved in uplink RF combination. Each such group independently consumes a channel of
demodulation resources on a baseband processing unit and a channel of RHUB logical
resources.
Cell sector equipment groups for different carriers can be consistent or inconsistent. In typical
scenarios, such groups on multiple UMTS carriers on the same frequency band are configured
in the same manner. See Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3 Relationship between cell sector equipment groups and sector equipment groups
Digital Combination and Splitting

Digital combination and splitting refer to digital combination in the uplink and digital
splitting in the downlink.

WCDMA RAN
Digital combination, also called RF combination, refers to the superposition of pRRU/RRU

inputs by the RHUB.
Digital splitting refers to the process of duplicating and sending signals to all pRRUs/RRUs in
a group.
Independent Demodulation
Independent demodulation, also called baseband signal combination or independent
demodulation and combination, refers to the process of independently demodulating uplink
signals from cell sector equipment groups in a cell and combining the groups into a local cell.
3.2 Working Principles

One Cell feature uses the following techniques:
l Digital combination and splitting within a cell sector equipment group

l Independent demodulation for each cell sector equipment group
l Cell-level desensitization and group-level desensitization
Uplink signals from pRRUs/RRUs in a cell sector equipment group, after undergoing cell-
and group-level digital desensitization, are combined on an RHUB, sent to the BBU for
independent demodulation, and then combined to form a local cell. Downlink signals for a
cell sector equipment group are divided into multiple outputs by the RHUB.
3.2.1 Digital Combination and Splitting Within a Cell Sector

Equipment Group
This function is mainly performed by RHUBs. In the uplink, the RHUB sends signals from a
cell sector equipment group to the BBU for independent demodulation. In the downlink, the
RHUB duplicates signals and sends them to all pRRUs/RRUs in a cell sector equipment
group.
Digital Combination in the Uplink

A pRRU/RRU can work in 1T1R or 1T2R mode. A pRRU/RRU can also be configured with
one or two carriers. If each pRRU/RRU in a sector equipment group is configured with one
carrier, this group equals a cell sector equipment group; if each pRRU/RRU in this group is
configured with two carriers, either carrier in this group equals a cell sector equipment group.
l If the pRRUs/RRUs are configured with one carrier and work in 1T2R mode,
– An RHUB (such as RHUB 2 or RHUB 3 in Figure 3-4) combines digital signals
from pRRUs/RRUs in a cell sector equipment group, and then sends the combined
signals to an upper-level RHUB or the BBU.
– A higher-level RHUB (such as RHUB 1 in Figure 3-4) combines signals from a
lower-level RHUB and signals from the directly connected pRRUs/RRUs in a cell
sector equipment group, and then sends the combined signals to the BBU.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 3-4 Digital combination in the uplink
l If each of the pRRUs/RRUs is configured with two carriers (carrier 1 as cell sector
equipment group 1 and carrier 2 as cell sector equipment group 2), the RHUB separately
combines signals transmitted over carrier 1 and carrier 2 of a sector equipment group,
and then separately sends combined signals of the two carriers to an upper-level RHUB
or the BBU.
l If the pRRUs/RRUs work in 1T2R mode, the RHUB separately combines signals from
the two RX channels (R0A and R0B) and sends combined signals to an upper-level
RHUB or the BBU.
Figure 3-5 illustrates digital combination for pRRUs with two carriers and working in 1T2R
mode.
Figure 3-5 Digital combination for pRRUs with two carriers and working in 1T2R mode
Signal Duplication and Distribution in the Downlink

For signals destined for all cell sector equipment groups over a CPRI chain, the BBU
duplicates the signals and sends them to all RHUBs on the chain. The RHUBs then duplicate
the signals and send them to lower-level RHUBs or to all pRRUs/RRUs in a sector equipment
group. Figure 3-6 provides a more illustrative diagram.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 3-6 Signal duplication and distribution in the downlink
3.2.2 Independent Demodulation for Each Cell Sector Equipment

Group
This function is mainly performed by the BBU. In the uplink, the BBU separately
demodulates signals for cell sector equipment groups and then combines the demodulated
signals, as shown in Figure 3-7.
The BBU can combine signals from cell sector equipment groups on one or multiple CPRI
chains.
Figure 3-7 Independent demodulation for each sector equipment group
3.2.3 Cell-Level and Group-Level Desensitization

This section describes the working principles of cell-level desensitization and sector
equipment group-level desensitization. Desensitization mentioned in this document refers to
digital desensitization. Desensitization helps increase the RTWP by increasing the noise floor
of pRRUs/RRUs and reducing their uplink receiver sensitivity.

WCDMA RAN
Cell-Level Desensitization
Cell-level desensitization minimizes uplink interference generated in LampSite cells/
LampSite cells covering outdoor residential areas due to the following reasons:
l Low minimum coupling loss (MCL)

When a UE is close to a pRRU/RRU, insignificant uplink path loss is generated. For
example, if the pRRU/RRU is mounted on a ceiling and the UE is about one meter below
the pRRU/RRU, the uplink path loss is only 38 dBm on the UMTS 2100 MHz band. In
this case, the RTWP in the cell will increase significantly even with the lowest UE
power, resulting in low MCL which further causes uplink interference and small uplink
capacity.
l Difference in uplink between LampSite cells/LampSite cells covering outdoor residential
areas and intra-frequency neighboring macro cells (such as outdoor macro cells and
indoor DAS cells)
When such difference occurs, an attempt of handover from a macro cell to a LampSite
cell/LampSite cell covering outdoor residential areas will cause uplink interference in the
LampSite cell/LampSite cell covering outdoor residential areas. This interference will be
intensified if a few pRRUs/RRUs are used for digital combination in a LampSite cell
with low noise floor.
Cell-level desensitization can be implemented either statically or dynamically. Static

desensitization is recommended in LampSite cells.
l To enable static desensitization, run the SET ULOCELLDESENS command with DI

(BSC6900, BSC6910) set to a fixed value.
l To enable dynamic desensitization, activate the WRFD-150201 Macro & Micro Co-
carrier Uplink Interference Control feature. Static desensitization becomes ineffective
after this feature is activated. For details about dynamic desensitization, see Macro and
Micro Co-carrier Uplink Interference Control Feature Parameter Description.
Calculating the Cell-Level Desensitization Intensity

Cell-level static desensitization is employed to minimize uplink interference caused by low
MCL and difference in uplink between LampSite cells/LampSite cells covering outdoor
residential areas and intra-frequency neighboring macro cells.
The desensitization intensity for minimizing interference caused by low MCL is hard to
calculate because the RTWP increase of cell-center UEs is not yet agreed upon in the industry.
For this reason, this part describes how to calculate cell-level desensitization intensity for
minimizing uplink interference caused by difference in uplink between LampSite and intra-
frequency neighboring macro cells. Ideally, a UE experiencing the same RSCP on both
LampSite and intra-frequency neighboring macro cells can enjoy the same SIR. Then, uplink
interference caused by low MCL can be alleviated.
Cell-level desensitization intensity is defined as follows (with 0.1 dB accuracy):
Intensity_DESENS = –73 dBm – P_PCPICH_LampSite – RTWP_LampSite_NoLoad
where
l P_PCPICH_ LampSite indicates the downlink pilot transmit power of each carrier in a
LampSite cell. For example, the value is 9 dBm for a typical LampSite cell with two
carriers.

WCDMA RAN
l RTWP_LampSite_NoLoad indicates the no-load RTWP configured for a LampSite cell.

l –73 dBm is the sum of pilot transmit power (typically 33 dBm) and no-load RTWP
(typically -106 dBm) configured for a macro cell.
Group-Level Desensitization
Group-level desensitization is employed to balance the rise over thermal (RoT) among cell
sector equipment groups. The RoT caused by RF combination in cell sector equipment groups
differs from each other if these groups contain different numbers of pRRUs/RRUs. For
example, a cell sector equipment group with a few pRRUs/RRUs typically has a low RoT but
a high RoT in busy hours, and thereby is unable to deliver satisfactory network performance if
this group admits too many UEs. As exemplified in Figure 3-8, cell sector equipment group 2
has fewer pRRUs/RRUs than cell sector equipment group 1 but admits two more UEs (UE 5'
and UE 6'). Consequently, UE 5' and UE 6' have poor experience.
Figure 3-8 Network experience prior to desensitization
In this case, desensitization is required in cell sector equipment group 2 to increase its no-load
RTWP until it is balanced with that of cell sector equipment group 1. After desensitization is
implemented, admitted UEs have better experience even though UE 5' and UE 6' are rejected,
as shown in Figure 3-9.
Figure 3-9 Network experience after desensitization

WCDMA RAN
Independent Demodulation of Signals from Multiple Small Cell RRUs in One Cell allows
automatic group-level desensitization, which is enabled by default.
Calculating Group-Level Desensitization Intensity

Assume that a cell has i cell sector equipment groups, which have n1, n2, ..., and ni pRRUs,
respectively.
The maximum RTWP rise is defined as follows: ΔPN_Max = Max {10 x lg(n1), 10 x
lg(n2), ... , 10 x lg(ni)}.
Each pRRU/RRU in a cell sector equipment group is assigned the same desensitization
intensity (measured in dB), which is defined as follows:
DI_Static_intracell_RRU_i = {ΔPN_Max – 10 x lg(nj)}
3.3 Network Topology for Cell Sector Equipment Groups

The BBU and RHUBs are connected by optical fibers. The RHUBs and pRRUs/RRUs are
connected by Ethernet cables/optical fibers. Ethernet cables can feed power to the pRRUs.
The typical network topologies are as follows:
l Network topology 1: The pRRUs/RRUs in a cell sector equipment group are connected
to the same RHUB. See Figure 3-10.
l Network topology 2: The pRRUs/RRUs in a cell sector equipment group are connected
to different RHUBs. See Figure 3-11.
l Network topology 3: The signals from one cell are combined over different CPRI ports
on the BBU. See Figure 3-12.
In the example shown in Figure 3-10, all pRRUs/RRUs in cell sector equipment group 1 are
connected to RHUB 1, and all pRRUs/RRUs in cell sector equipment group 2 are connected
to RHUB 2.
Figure 3-10 Network topology 1 where pRRUs/RRUs in a cell sector equipment group are
connected to the same RHUB
In the example shown in Figure 3-11, some pRRUs/RRUs in cell sector equipment group 1
are connected to RHUB 1, while others are connected to RHUB 2.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 3-11 Network topology 2 where the pRRUs/RRUs in a cell sector equipment group

In the example shown in Figure 3-12, cell 1 has two cell sector equipment groups, and signals
from the groups are forwarded to the same baseband processing unit in the BBU over
different CPRI ports.

Cell RRUs in One Cell Feature Parameter Description 5 Network Impact
5 Network Impact
System Capacity
l Compared with the scheme of deploying one pRRU/RRU for one cell, this feature affects
system capacity as follows:
– In the uplink, multiple pRRUs/RRUs are grouped into a cell, independent
demodulation is used for each cell sector equipment group, so the uplink capacity of
a cell sector equipment group equals the capacity of a common cell. Therefore, this
feature has no or negative impact on system capacity, depending on the number of
cell sector equipment groups.
– In the downlink, this feature decreases system capacity because multiple pRRUs/
RRUs are deployed in one cell.
l Compared with the Cell Digital Combination and Split feature, this feature affects
system capacity as follows:
– In the uplink, this feature has positive impact on system capacity. If a cell is
configured with six cell sector equipment groups, the traffic is fully balanced, and
there is no overlapping area between pRRUs/RRUs, the maximum capacity gain
can reach 500%. If a cell is configured with 12 cell sector equipment groups, the
traffic is fully balanced, and there is no overlapping area between pRRUs/RRUs,
the maximum capacity gain can reach 1100%.
– In the downlink, this feature has no impact on system capacity.
l Compared with the Independent Demodulation of Signals from Multiple RRUs in One
Cell feature, this feature affects system capacity as follows:
– In the uplink, this feature decreases the system capacity if there are two or more
pRRUs/RRUs in a cell sector equipment group.
– In the downlink, this feature has no impact on system capacity.
Network Performance
Compared with the scheme of deploying one pRRU/RRU for one cell, this feature affects
network performance as follows:
l Network KPIs
– Downlink Ec/Io: Increases due to a decrease in inter-cell interference. Downlink
Ec/Io is measured by drive tests.
– Call drop rate: Reduces unless cell capacity is limited. The call drop rate includes
CS and PS call drop rates.

WCDMA RAN
Cell RRUs in One Cell Feature Parameter Description 5 Network Impact
– Access success rate: Increases unless cell capacity is limited.

– Handover success rate: Increases unless cell capacity is limited because the number
of handovers decreases.
– For details about the counters and formulas for calculating the call drop rate, access
success rate, and handover success rate, see RAN KPI Reference.
l Resource usage
– Power resources: Power resource usage increases unless cell throughput changes.
– Channel elements (CEs): CE usage remains the same unless cell throughput
changes.
– Code resources: Available code resources decrease and code resource usage
increases in a cell unless cell throughput changes.
l Transport resources
– Iub resource usage remains the same unless cell throughput changes.
l User experience
– In the uplink, interference increases and throughput of cell edge users (CEUs)
drops.
– In the downlink, both interference and handovers decrease. UE downlink
throughput increases unless cell capacity is limited.
Compared with the Cell Digital Combination and Split feature, this feature affects network
performance as follows:
l Network KPIs
– Downlink coverage: Remains the same.
– Uplink coverage: Increases due to a smaller rise in uplink noise floor than that when
the Cell Digital Combination and Split feature is used.
– Call drop rate, access success rate, and handover success rate: Remain the same.
They slightly improve if there is a high uplink load.
l Resource usage
– Power resources: Power resource usage remains the same unless cell throughput
changes.
– CEs: CE usage remains the same unless cell throughput changes. However, the
uplink CE usage may increase because this feature increases uplink capacity.
– Code resources: Code resource usage remains the same unless cell throughput
changes.
l Transport resources
– Iub resource usage remains the same unless cell throughput changes. However, the
uplink Iub resource usage may increase because this feature increases uplink
capacity.
l User experience
– User experience of CEUs improves due to an increase in uplink throughput.

6.3 Planning
6.3.1 Indoor Cell Planning

The LampSite solution is primarily used for indoor coverage. If multiple sectors or intra-
frequency cells are planned to satisfy the indoor capacity requirements, plan the target
coverage area either vertically or horizontally. For example, in high-rise buildings with a
small square footage (like office buildings), it is good practice to plan the target coverage area
vertically by floors; in low-rise buildings with a large square footage, such as exhibition
centers, it is good practice to plan the target coverage area horizontally.
When the target coverage area is planned vertically, the signal strength deteriorates sharply
after the elevator door is closed. This causes handover failures when users enter or exit an
elevator. Therefore, you are recommended to plan antennas and pRRUs covering the elevator
room and the elevator waiting area into the same cell. In addition, plan the handover areas
between the elevator room and the floor room to make handovers occur before users enter an
elevator or after users exit an elevator. This increases the handover success rate. To provide
radio coverage inside elevators, pRRUs can also be installed in elevators or along elevator
shafts. As shown in the typical scenario in Figure 6-1, the elevator and the ground floor
belong to the same cell.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 6-1 Network planning for a high-rise building with a small floor area
For the LampSite solution for outdoor residential areas, in coverage-focused scenarios, it is
good practice to plan all RRUs covering the entire residential area into the same cell.
6.3.2 Cell Sector Equipment Group Planning

Maximum Number of Permitted Cell Sector Equipment Groups
For details about the maximum number of cell sector equipment groups that can be
configured for a single RHUB, see the carrier and cell specifications in the "RHUB Technical
Specifications" section of DBS3900 LampSite Technical Description. For example, one
RHUB3908 can be configured with four cell sector equipment groups at most. In Figure 6-2,
RHUB 1 is correctly configured with four cell sector equipment groups, whereas RHUB 2 is
incorrectly configured with five cell sector equipment groups.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 6-2 Maximum number of cell sector equipment groups configured for an RHUB
Coverage Areas and Number of pRRUs/RRUs in Cell Sector Equipment Groups

In a cell sector equipment group with N pRRUs/RRUs, digital combination in the uplink
causes a rise in uplink noise floor by 10 x lgN. It is recommended that all cell sector
equipment groups in a cell have the same number of pRRUs/RRUs, so that the rise in noise
floor of the cell is minimized and the cell sector equipment groups have balanced uplink load
and equally sized coverage areas.
NOTE
However, the cell sector equipment groups in a cell sometimes cannot have the absolutely same number
of pRRUs/RRUs because the pRRUs/RRUs of the same group must be connected to the same CPRI port
on the baseband processing unit. Once activated, the Independent Demodulation of Signals from
Multiple Small Cell RRUs in One Cell feature automatically enables group-level desensitization to
balance the uplink noise floor between cell sector equipment groups.
6.3.3 Hardware Planning

l The baseband processing unit must be a WBBPf3, WBBPf4, WBBPf5, WBBPf6,
UBBPd, UBBPe, or UBBPei. The WBBPf3/WBBPf4/WBBPf5/WBBPf6, UBBPd1/
UBBPd2/UBBPd3/UBBPd4/UBBPd5, or UBBPe1/UBBPe2 supports up to six cell
sector equipment groups. For these boards, up to six cell sector equipment groups can be
configured to serve one cell. The UBBPd6, UBBPe3/UBBPe4/UBBPe5/UBBPe6, or
UBBPei supports up to 12 cell sector equipment groups. For these boards, up to 12 cell
sector equipment groups can be configured to serve one cell.
l The main control board must be a UMPTb or UMPTe.
l The RHUB supports a maximum of four cascading levels.
l Within a cell sector equipment group, the fiber length between two RHUBs must be less
than 3,000 m. In a cell, the total fiber length between the BBU and the first-level of
cascaded RHUBs must be less than 4,000 m. Because data transmission over the RHUB
and optical fibers will experience latency, the cell radius must be set properly. According
to radio propagation characteristics and optical fiber characteristics, the cell radius

WCDMA RAN
should be increased by 1.5 km whenever the fiber length increases by 1 km. Therefore,
you are advised to retain the default value 10 km for the local cell radius when
LOCELLTYPE is set to MIXED_MULTIRRU_CELL.
l The optical fibers between the RHUBs and the BBU must meet the bandwidth
requirements listed in Table 6-4 to Table 6-7.

related license parameters to implement manual license allocation.
NOTE
"pRRU Group" in the preceding table indicates sector equipment groups.

The number of required "UMTS Multi-Carrier License for LampSite pRRU" licenses depends only on
the number of configured pRRUs and carriers.
l For example, 96 pRRUs with each running one carrier require 96 licenses.
l 96 pRRUs with each running two carriers require 192 (96 x 2) licenses.
RRUs used in the LampSite solution for outdoor residential areas also require "UMTS Multi-Carrier
License for LampSite pRRU" licenses.

6.4.3 Precautions
The following are restrictions on deploying Independent Demodulation of Signals from
Multiple Small Cell RRUs in One Cell.
l pRRU/RRU
– One pRRU is configured with one UMTS RF daughter board by default and
supports one or two carriers.
– The pRRU works in 1T1R or 1T2R mode, and only antenna R0A transmits signals.
– One pRRU/RRU is configured with only one sector and one set of sector
equipment. If the pRRU/RRU supports two carriers, the sector and sector
equipment are shared by the two cells so that both antennas work in the same
TX/RX mode.
l Cell sector equipment group
– One cell sector equipment group accommodates 1 to 16 pRRUs/RRUs.
– pRRUs/RRUs of the same cell sector equipment group must be connected to the
same CPRI port on the baseband processing unit, while those of different cell sector
equipment groups can be connected to the same or different CPRI ports on the
baseband processing unit.
l Cell
– One cell can be covered by 1 to 96 pRRUs/RRUs. The minimum configuration is
one pRRU/RRU in a cell.
– For details about the number of supported cell sector equipment groups, see 6.3.3
Hardware Planning.
– pRRUs/RRUs and RRUs cannot cover the same cell.
– A cell can be configured with either pRRUs/RRUs working in 1T1R mode or
pRRUs/RRUs working in 1T2R mode, but cannot be configured with both modes.
– All sector equipment groups in a cell must be connected to the same baseband
processing unit.
In LampSite scenarios, the measurement results of propagation delay-related counters are

inaccurate, but this does not affect service performance. Propagation delay-related counters
are coarse-grained and mostly used for evaluating the performance of macro networks.
Therefore, measurement of such counters has insignificant reference value for troubleshooting
indoor coverage issues on LampSite networks.

WCDMA RAN
6.4.4 Activation
6.4.4.1 Using MML Commands

Step 1 Run the NodeB MML command ADD BRD to configure a baseband processing unit.
Step 2 Run the NodeB MML command ADD BASEBANDEQM with BASEBANDEQMTYPE set
to UL(UL) to configure uplink baseband equipment.
Step 3 Run the NodeB MML command ADD BASEBANDEQM with BASEBANDEQMTYPE set
to DL(DL) to configure downlink baseband equipment.
Step 4 Run the NodeB MML command ADD RRUCHAIN to configure an RRU chain connecting
the BBU and RHUBs.
Step 5 Run the NodeB MML command ADD RHUB to add an RHUB to an RRU chain or ring.
Step 6 Run the NodeB MML command ADD RRUCHAIN to configure a chain connecting the
RHUB and pRRUs/RRUs.
Step 7 Run the NodeB MML command ADD RRU to add a pRRU/RRU to an RHUB.
Step 8 (Optional) Run the NodeB MML command ADD LOCATION to add location information.
Step 9 Run the NodeB MML command ADD SECTOR to add a sector (one sector corresponds to
one pRRU/RRU).
Step 10 Run the NodeB MML command ADD SECTOREQM to add sector equipment (one set of
sector equipment corresponds to one sector).
Step 11 Run the NodeB MML command ADD ULOCELL to add a local cell.
For pPRUs, Local Cell Type must be set to MIXED_MULTIRRU_CELL. This command
can be used to add one to six cell sector equipment groups to a cell. When the number of cell
sector equipment groups in a cell exceeds six, you also need to perform Step 12 to add cell
sector equipment groups to the cell. Each cell sector equipment group supports one piece of
sector equipment. (In this case, each cell sector equipment group must support only piece of
sector equipment. To configure more than one piece of sector equipment, see Step 13.)
Step 12 (Optional) Run the NodeB MML command ADD ULOCELLSECTOREQMGRP to add a
sector equipment group to the local cell. One sector equipment group can be configured with
only one set of sector equipment.
Step 13 Run the NodeB MML command ADD ULOCELLSECTOREQMGRPITEM to add sector
equipment to an existing sector equipment group.
Step 14 Run the RNC MML command ADD UCELLQUICKSETUP to set up a cell.
Step 15 Run the RNC MML command ACT UCELL to activate each logical cell under the RNC.

WCDMA RAN
NOTE
l During logical cell activation, TRXs are also being activated in batches on the NodeB. If there is a
large number of antennas in the cell, RRU activation may take some time. However, feature
activation is not affected. If you repeatedly activate and then deactivate a logical cell, logical cell
activation may fail.
l If the pRRU3911/pRRU3916/pRRU59xx is used and the operating frequency band of the new cell is
not within the valid range, the pRRU will be reset to make the frequency band take effect. The reset
will interrupt services on other frequency bands.

WCDMA RAN
Using both cell sector equipment group-level and cell-level performance counters helps
achieve more precise network monitoring and fault diagnosis.
If the performance of a cell sector equipment group differs significantly from that of other
groups, check the cell sector equipment group. If all the groups do not differ much in
performance, it is good practice to check cell-level settings. For example, if the proportion of
abnormal RL releases in a cell sector equipment group is obviously higher than that in other
sector equipment groups, check whether the pRRU/RRU is faulty, whether the pRRU/RRU is
deployed properly, and whether there is strong interference nearby.

Cell-level desensitization can be implemented either statically or dynamically. Static

l To enable static desensitization, run the SET ULOCELLDESENS command with DI

Calculating the Cell-Level Desensitization Intensity

Cell-level desensitization intensity is defined as follows (with 0.1 dB accuracy):

Intensity_DESENS = –73 dBm – P_PCPICH_LampSite – RTWP_LampSite_NoLoad
