Description 3 Overview
3 Overview
3.1 Background
DC-HSDPA allows a UE to transmit data over dual carriers, thereby increasing
network throughput and improving user experience. This multi-carrier technology
increases the single-user throughput by about 100% compared with the use of a
single carrier. The throughput improvement is noticeable even at the cell edge.
However, some operators need to cope with insufficient 900 MHz spectrum and
continued existence of GSM users, making it unable to implement direct GSM-to-
UMTS evolution. Specifically, DC-HSDPA cannot be directly deployed on the UMTS
low-frequency band to deliver better data service experience for UEs. To address
this issue, the DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM feature is introduced.
3.2 Introduction
The DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM feature allows an operator having a contiguous
8.8 MHz or larger spectrum to deploy GSM cells and UMTS DC-HSDPA cells in the
contiguous spectrum without GSM frequency release. The secondary carrier of DC-
HSDPA can completely share the spectrum with GSM cells.
Sharing the spectrum between GSM cells and the secondary carrier of UMTS DC-
HSDPA increases the inter-RAT interference. This feature requires coordination
between the GSM and UMTS networks to minimize inter-RAT interference. It
ensures specified UMTS capacity without compromising uplink and downlink GSM
performance stability. For details, see 4.1 Principles.
3.3 Benefits
● Simplifying dual-carrier UMTS deployment
● Improving UMTS data service rates and user experience
● Ensuring stable GSM performance and capacity

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
3.4 Scenario
The typical application scenarios of the DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM feature are
as follows:
● An operator has a contiguous spectrum of 10 MHz or larger. In this scenario,
the GSM S3/3/3 network can be deployed continuously, as shown in Figure
3-1.
Figure 3-1 Deployment on contiguous spectrum of 10 MHz or larger
● An operator has a contiguous spectrum of greater than or equal to 8.8 MHz

and less than 10 MHz. In this scenario, the GSM S2/2/2 network can be
deployed continuously. The primary carrier f1 on the UMTS side can occupy
the standard 5 MHz bandwidth, as shown in Figure 3-2, or occupy a non-
standard bandwidth of 3.8 MHz, 4.2 MHz, 4.4 MHz, 4.6 MHz, or 4.8 MHz, as
shown in Figure 3-3.
Scenario 1: On the UMTS side, the primary carrier uses the standard 5 MHz
bandwidth and the secondary carrier uses a non-standard bandwidth.
Figure 3-2 5-MHz primary carrier
Scenario 2: Both the primary and secondary carriers use non-standard

bandwidths (4.2 MHz is used as an example).

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
Figure 3-3 4.2-MHz primary and secondary carriers
If the total bandwidth is 8.8 MHz, the UMTS primary carrier occupies 5 MHz,
and the GSM TRX occupies 3.8 MHz, the following two networking modes are
available:
– Mode 1: The central frequency spacing is 3.8 MHz between two UMTS
carriers.
Figure 3-4 3.8 MHz central frequency spacing between two UMTS
carriers
– Mode 2: The central frequency spacing is 4.4 MHz between two UMTS
carriers.
Figure 3-5 4.4 MHz central frequency spacing between two UMTS
carriers

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
Mode 1 and mode 2 use different center frequencies for the UMTS
secondary carrier. If NONSTABANDDLFILTEROPT is set to 3800, mode 2
takes effect. If this parameter is set to 5000, mode 1 takes effect.
● In mode 2, the out-of-band leakage of a downlink filter must meet protocol

requirements. In this feature, the secondary carrier does not have the uplink
and therefore interference leakage is not involved.
● Before feature deployment, you are advised to learn the local laws and
regulations and check whether the frequency range that can be used by an
operator is specified. If specified, use method 1.

Description 4 DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM
4 DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM
4.1 Principles
4.1.1 Overview
Sharing the spectrum between GSM cells and the secondary carrier of UMTS DC-
HSDPA increases the inter-RAT interference. Therefore, the GSM and UMTS
networks must be coordinated to mitigate the inter-RAT interference, boosting the
capacity of UMTS networks without compromising GSM network stability.
In DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM, interference between GSM and UMTS networks
falls into the following types:
● Interference from UEs to BTSs
● Interference from NodeBs to MSs
● Interference from MSs to NodeBs
● Interference from BTSs to UEs
Figure 4-1 shows the inter-RAT interference in DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM.

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
Figure 4-1 Inter-RAT interference in DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM
Table 4-1 lists solutions to such interference.
Table 4-1 Solutions to different interference types

Interference Type Solution
Interference from UMTS side: mobility policy optimization policies are used.
UEs to BTSs UEs are not allowed to camp on, be handed over to, or
be switched through DRD to a cell enabled with the DC-
HSDPA Shared with GSM feature. For details, see 4.1.2
UE-to-BTS Interference Control.
GSM side: After the UMTS solution is implemented, UEs
do not establish the uplink on the secondary carrier of
DC-HSDPA. Therefore, no handling is required on the
GSM side.
Interference from UMTS side: downlink adaptive band-pass filter and auto
NodeBs to MSs configuration of downlink adaptive band-pass filter are
used. For details, see 4.1.3 NodeB-to-MS Interference
Control.
GSM side: GBFD-191205 GU@5MHz Joint Scheduling is
used. For details, see the GBSS Feature Documentation.
Interference from A cell enabled with the DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM
MSs to NodeBs feature carries only radio links (RLs) of the DC-HSDPA
secondary carrier, which does not involve the uplink
because only the uplink channel in the primary carrier is
available for UEs to send uplink data. Therefore, uplink
interference from MSs to NodeBs does not need to be
processed.
For details, see 4.1.4 MS-to-NodeB Interference
Control.

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
Interference Type Solution
Interference from UMTS side: keeping the maximum transmit power in

BTSs to UEs UMTS cells 3 dB higher than that in GSM cells. For
details, see 4.1.5 BTS-to-UE Interference Control.
GSM side: GBFD-111609 Enhanced BCCH Power
Consumption Optimization, GBFD-181204 Intelligent
BCCH Interference Suppression (IBIS), and GBFD-117602
Active Power Control are used. For details, see the GBSS
Feature Documentation.
4.1.2 UE-to-BTS Interference Control

To prevent interference from UMTS UEs to GSM BTSs, a cell enabled with the DC-
HSDPA Shared with GSM feature carries only the RLs of the DC-HSDPA secondary
carrier but not RLs of R99 and SC-HSDPA users. As shown in Figure 4-2, UEs are
not allowed to camp on or be handed over, redirected, or reselected to the
secondary carrier cell of DC-HSDPA.
Figure 4-2 UE access policy
● For LTE and GSM cells, the frequency of the secondary carrier cell is not
configured and the secondary carrier cell is not configured as the target cell
for reselections, redirections, and handovers; otherwise, such reselections,
redirections, and handovers fail.
● For UMTS cells on other frequencies, the frequency of the secondary carrier
cell is not configured and the secondary carrier cell is not configured as the

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
target cell for reselections, redirections, and handovers; otherwise, such

reselections, redirections, and handovers fail.
In this scenario, no uplink of UEs is established on the secondary carrier cell.
Therefore, uplink related features do not need to be enabled on the secondary
carrier. The codewords used by the HSUPA feature can be used for DC-HSDPA to
increase downlink capacity gains.
4.1.3 NodeB-to-MS Interference Control
4.1.3.1 Downlink Adaptive Band-Pass Filter

In DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM, downlink filters are used to mitigate interference
from NodeBs to MSs but also weaken wanted UMTS signals and cause downlink
performance loss in UMTS cells.
By adaptively adjusting the filter status based on GSM service status, this feature
helps reduce UMTS performance loss.
The 200 kHz comb filters are added for frequencies spaced less than 2.5 MHz from
the center frequency of the UMTS secondary carrier cell.
● When the DCHSDPASHAREDWITHGSM parameter is set to
STATICBANDWIDTH, the NodeB uses 200 kHz comb filters to filter downlink
UMTS signals for GSM cells mapping the frequencies specified by the RNC
parameters GsmCellIndex, BcchArfcn, Tch1Arfcn to Tch6Arfcn, and
TchArfcn.
● When the DCHSDPASHAREDWITHGSM parameter is set to
DYNAMICBANDWIDTHWITHGSM or
DYNAMICBANDWIDTHWITHOUTGSM, the NodeB disables or enables the
200 kHz comb filters based on the GSM service status provided by the BSC, as
well as GSM cells mapping the frequencies specified by the RNC parameters
GsmCellIndex, BcchArfcn, Tch1Arfcn to Tch6Arfcn, and TchArfcn.
– If a GSM cell is using a timeslot at a frequency spaced less than 2.5 MHz
from the center frequency of the UMTS secondary carrier cell, the NodeB
enables the 200 kHz comb filter for the frequency mapping the timeslot.
As shown in Figure 4-3, frequencies f10, f1, and f4 are occupied in the
current timeslot and therefore the NodeB enables 200 KHz comb filters at
theses frequencies.
– If no GSM cell is using a timeslot at a frequency spaced less than 2.5
MHz from the center frequency of the UMTS secondary carrier cell, the
NodeB disables the 200 kHz comb filter for the frequency mapping the
timeslot.

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
Figure 4-3 200 kHz comb filter in the downlink adaptive band-pass filter
function
If the number of real-time frequencies requiring filtering within the

bandwidth of the UMTS secondary carrier is greater than the value calculated
using the formula [16 - (5 - secondary carrier bandwidth)/0.2], the secondary
carrier cell enables full filtering for the secondary carrier bandwidth. In this
case, the secondary carrier cell does not carry data and DC-HSDPA cannot
deliver gains.
For example: If the UMTS secondary carrier bandwidth is 5 MHz, full filtering
is implemented on the 5 MHz bandwidth of the secondary carrier cell when
more than 16 real-time frequencies require filtering within the 5 MHz
bandwidth of the UMTS secondary frequency.
When the total filtering ratio makes it unable to deliver gains for the shared
cell, the scheduling of the secondary carrier is stopped.

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
● When DCHSDPASHAREDWITHGSM is set to DYNAMICBANDWIDTHWITHGSM or

DYNAMICBANDWIDTHWITHOUTGSM, the NodeB enables the comb filters
immediately after users access the GSM cells and occupy the mapping frequencies. To
prevent GSM KPIs from deteriorating due to the delay in message interactions between
the BSC and the NodeB, the total delay over the Iur-g and Iub interfaces must be less
than 60 ms.
● If the RNC finds that the total delay over the Iur-g and Iub interfaces is shorter
than 60 ms, the NodeB performs frequency filtering as
DYNAMICBANDWIDTHWITHGSM or DYNAMICBANDWIDTHWITHOUTGSM
indicates.
● If the RNC finds that the total delay over the Iur-g and Iub interfaces is 70 ms or
longer, the RNC instructs the NodeB to change the value of
DYNAMICBANDWIDTHWITHGSM or DYNAMICBANDWIDTHWITHOUTGSM to
STATICBANDWIDTH.
● Asynchronous clocks between NodeBs and BTSs may cause filtering on incorrect GSM
frequencies, posing uncontrollable interference on GSM cells. To ensure clock
synchronization:
● If DCHSDPASHAREDWITHGSM is set to DYNAMICBANDWIDTHWITHGSM, you
are advised to enable the GBFD-118201 Soft-Synchronized Network feature or the
GBFD-510401 BTS GPS Synchronization feature on the GSM side three to seven
days before deploying this feature to ensure inter-BTS clock synchronization.
● If DCHSDPASHAREDWITHGSM is set to DYNAMICBANDWIDTHWITHOUTGSM,
the UMTS cell does not have a co-site GSM cell. In this case, you need to add a
GPS device to support GSM-UMTS synchronization.
● When the DCHSDPASHAREDWITHGSM parameter is set to NOTSUPPORT, the NodeB
does not filter signals.
● After PERFENH_CGI_FOR_GU5M_SWITCH is selected under the PerfEnhanceSwitch10
parameter, the NodeB can identify whether a GSM cell is co-sited with the UMTS cell.
● If a GSM cell is in the out-of-synchronization state and the CGI delivered by the
RNC for the target cell of filtering is on the CGI list forwarded by the BTS, the GSM
cell is co-sited with the UMTS cell. In this case, the NodeB performs adaptive
filtering in this GSM cell.
● If a GSM cell is in the out-of-synchronization state and the CGI delivered by the
RNC for the target cell of filtering is not on the CGI list forwarded by the BTS, the
GSM cell is served by a neighboring base station. In this case, the NodeB performs
static filtering for this GSM cell.
This setting helps mitigate UMTS-to-GSM interference, improving performance in
GSM cells.
● When the VAM parameter is set to TRUE for the secondary carrier cell, the bandwidth
range of the downlink band-pass filter function falls back from 5 MHz to 3.8 MHz.
4.1.3.2 Auto Configuration of Downlink Adaptive Band-Pass Filter

In DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM, downlink adaptive band-pass filters are required
to mitigate downlink UMTS-to-GSM interference on GSM frequencies overlapping
with UMTS frequencies. Therefore, it is essential to determine the interference
matrix between the GSM and UMTS cells and identify the GSM frequencies to be
filtered out.
Auto configuration of downlink adaptive band-pass filter helps automatically

identify the GSM cells and frequencies to be filtered. For details about the
algorithm process and description, see "Auto Configuration of Downlink Adaptive
Band-Pass Filter" in GU@5 MHz Feature Parameter Description.

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
Compared with GU@5 MHz, this feature requires that a co-coverage GSM cell be
configured as a blind neighboring cell for the DC-HSDPA primary carrier cell, but
not for the DC-HSDPA secondary carrier cell.
A GSM cell provides the same coverage as a UMTS cell if it meets all the following
conditions:
● The GSM cell is a neighboring cell of the UMTS cell for blind handovers.
● BlindHoFlag is set to True.
● BlindHOPrio is set to the highest priority.
4.1.4 MS-to-NodeB Interference Control

In DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM, MSs send signals in the overlapped spectrum,
which can be received by the NodeBs. However, a cell enabled with the DC-HSDPA
Shared with GSM feature carries only the RLs of the DC-HSDPA secondary carrier.
As stipulated in protocols, multi-carrier HSDPA allows UEs to concurrently
establish HSDPA connections to multiple inter-frequency co-coverage synchronous
cells.
● In the downlink, a UE can receive different data over HS-DSCHs in these cells.
● In the uplink, the UE transmits data only in the primary carrier cell.
Therefore, the uplink interference from MSs to NodeBs does not affect UMTS
services. Due to the absence of uplink UE access in the cell enabled with the DC-
HSDPA Shared with GSM feature, reporting of the following alarms and event is
affected.
● ALM-28209 Cell No Traffic

● ALM-26200 Board Hardware Fault
● ALM-26203 Board Software Program Error
● ALM-26532 RF Unit Hardware Fault
● ALM-26533 RF Unit Software Program Error
● EVT-28231 UMTS Traffic Abnormal Recovery
The secondary carrier cell receives interfering signals from MSs in the uplink and therefore
has a high RTWP, which is represented by RTWP-related counters and the corresponding
uplink LDR/OLC counters.
A cell enabled with the DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM feature does not report
alarms listed in Table 4-2.
Table 4-2 Relevant alarms and events
Alarm Name Description
ALM-28205 Cell Output The cell output power is reduced due to full filtering.
Power too Low This alarm is no longer reported.

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
Alarm Name Description
ALM-28213 Cell RTWP The NodeBs detect interference generated by MSs

Too High and therefore the uplink RTWP is relatively higher
than that in common cells. This alarm is no longer
reported.
4.1.5 BTS-to-UE Interference Control

For details, see the GSM feature documentation.
4.1.6 Primary and Secondary Carrier Interference Control

If the GSM/UMTS contiguous spectrum to be enabled with the DC-HSDPA Shared
with GSM feature is less than 10 MHz, fixed bandwidth compression must be
performed on the DC-HSDPA secondary carrier to ensure that the secondary
carrier cell does not have overlapping spectrum with the primary carrier cell or
interfere with the primary carrier cell. This function can be configured through the
DLLEFTSHAREDBANDWIDTH or DLRIGHTSHAREDBANDWIDTH parameter.
As shown in Figure 4-4, the bandwidth is 5 MHz for the UMTS primary carrier and
is 4 MHz for the GSM TRX. The bandwidth for the UMTS secondary carrier is also
4 MHz after being shared with the GSM TRX. The overlapping bandwidth between
the primary and secondary carriers is 1 MHz. Therefore, the
DLLEFTSHAREDBANDWIDTH or DLRIGHTSHAREDBANDWIDTH parameter must
be set to 1000 kHz for the secondary carrier so that the secondary carrier does not
interfere with the primary carrier.

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
Figure 4-4 Primary and secondary carrier interference control
In some scenarios, if the overlapping bandwidth of the primary and secondary

carriers is an odd number multiplied by 100 kHz, the
DLLEFTSHAREDBANDWIDTH or DLRIGHTSHAREDBANDWIDTH parameter must
be set based on the result of the overlapping bandwidth plus 100 kHz. This is
because this filtering parameter can only be set to an even number multiplied by
100 kHz. For example, if the actual overlapping bandwidth of the primary and
secondary carriers is 300 kHz, set this parameter to 400 kHz.
If NONSTABANDDLFILTEROPT is set to 3800, DLLEFTSHAREDBANDWIDTH or

DLRIGHTSHAREDBANDWIDTH does not take effect.
4.2 Network Analysis
4.2.1 Benefits
This feature offers the following benefits:
● Simplifies dual-carrier UMTS deployment.

● Improves UMTS data service rates and user experience.
● Ensures stable GSM performance and capacity.
UMTS counters for evaluating the network capacity changes after feature
deployment are as follows:

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
● Average HSDPA throughput of UMTS UEs on the NodeB side

VS.HSDPA.DataOutput.Traffic/(VS.HSDPA.DataTtiNum.User x 2)
● DC-HSDPA throughput of UMTS UEs on the NodeB side
It is recommended that DC-HSDPA UE throughput be measured by the sector
of the primary and secondary carriers as follows: Sum of
VS.DataOutput.DCHSDPA.Traffic values of the primary and secondary
carriers on the sector/(Sum of VS.DCHSDPA.DataTtiNum.User values of the
primary and secondary carriers on the sector x 2)
● Average HSDPA throughput of cells on the NodeB side
VS.HSDPA.DataOutput.Traffic/[(VS.DataTtiRatio.Mean –
VS.HSDPA.InactiveDataTtiRatio.Mean) x Measurement period x 60]

4.2.2 Impacts
System Capacity
● In this feature, the primary carrier cell and the secondary carrier cell work in
DC-HSDPA mode to improve user experience. Based on the GSM service
status, the secondary carrier cell adaptively enables or disables the band-pass
filter for shared frequencies spaced less than 2.5 MHz from the UMTS center
frequency, improving downlink UMTS capacity.
Network Performance
● The percentage of low-quality downlink GSM services does not rise
significantly.
● New sites have a less than 5% impact on GSM network KPIs in the concerned
area.
● The RTWP of the primary carrier cell increases by about 1 dB, because DC-
HSDPA adds the uplink feedback messages of the secondary carrier.
● This HSDPA inter-cell power sharing function increases the average cell load
by 2% to 10%. Due to increased downlink cell load and increased downlink
inter-cell interference, any of the following KPIs may deteriorate: Ec/No, CS
call drop rate, PS call drop rate, CS RAB setup success rate, and PS RAB setup
success rate.

board.
● The BSC6910 is configured with the EXOUa/EXOUb/FG2c/FG2e/GOUc/GOUe/
GOUf board.
● An Iur-g interface must be configured between the RNC and the BSC.

Downlink adaptive band-pass filter in this feature has the following hardware
requirements on the base station:
● The BTS3900/BTS3900A/BTS3900C/BTS3900L/BTS3900AL/DBS3900/BTS5900
supports this feature.
● The BBU3900/BBU3910/BBU3910A/BBU5900/BBU5900A supports this feature.
● At least one UBBP board is required, and downlink services must be set up on
the UBBP board. Uplink access resources cannot be set up on the WBBPa
board.
● When the concurrent deployment of UMTS and LTE is configured on the
baseband processing unit, some UMTS and LTE resources are shared to
support DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM. Therefore, RAN21.1 or later must be
used.
● This feature depends on the UMPT and supports co-MPT or separate-MPT
GSM/UMTS mode. In separate-MPT GSM/UMTS scenarios, the GSM
maintenance mode must be set to Single OM.
● Only the following RF modules support this feature: MRFU V2a, MRFU V6,
MRFUd, MRFUe, RRU3926, RRU3928, RRU3929, RRU3936, RRU3938,
RRU3942, RRU3952, RRU3953, RRU3959, RRU3961, and RRU3971.
● When this function is enabled, the slots that can house a BBP providing
optical connections must house a UBBP board containing the UMTS mode,
and the BBP that provides optical connections must be a UBBP board. If
multiple BBPs provide optical connections, one of them must be a UBBP
board containing the UMTS mode. If the RF module serving the cell uses the
inter-board cold backup ring topology, the BBP that is connected to the RF
module over an optical fiber must be a UBBP board containing the UMTS
mode.
● A cell enabled with DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM requires 2.2 times as much
CPRI bandwidth as a common UMTS cell does in the downlink. Therefore,

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
prepare sufficient optical modules and CPRI bandwidth before activating the
feature.
● The base stations must support one of the following clock synchronization
methods:
– GPS synchronization: To support GPS synchronization, the main control
board of the base station must be a UMPT board that is equipped with a
satellite card. If the main control board is not equipped with a satellite
card, a USCU board can be added to implement GPS synchronization.
– Soft-Synchronized Network
– IEEE1588 V2 synchronization, which requires that IPCLK3000 be installed.
For details about the maximum number of UMTS cells and CEs supported by a
baseband processing unit, see 3900 Series BBU Technical Specifications and 5900
Series BBU Technical Specifications in 3900 & 5900 Series Base Station Product
Documentation.
The number of cells using DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM varies among baseband
processing units.
● A baseband processing unit supporting six UMTS cells can serve three or
fewer cells using DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM.
● A baseband processing unit supporting 12 UMTS cells can serve 6 or fewer
cells using DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM.

4.3.4 Networking
If this feature needs to be activated after GSM/UMTS frequency replanning,
contact Huawei technical support for the replanning.
This feature has the following requirements on network planning:
● The GSM and UMTS cells enabled with this feature must be co-sited on the
network in a 1:1 ratio. The co-coverage GSM and UMTS sites must share one
antenna system (with the same azimuth, downtilt, and antenna port). It is
recommended that the involved base stations provide contiguous coverage.
● The transmit power used in GSM cells (typically, 20 W) must be 3 dB less than
that in UMTS cells (typically, 40 W).
● After this feature is enabled, a 4x3 GSM frequency reuse pattern for the BCCH
is recommended on the shared spectrum. If a tighter reuse pattern is used,
GSM KPIs will become less robust. As listed in specifications, a maximum of
three frequency hopping groups can be configured on the GSM side, and the
number of frequencies in each group cannot exceed 10. Otherwise, the UMTS
side cannot filter GSM cell frequencies. In this case, frequency replanning
needs to be performed on the GSM side.

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
● The base stations must support one of the following clock synchronization
methods:
– GPS
– Soft-Synchronized Network
– IEEE 1588v2
In separate-MPT scenarios, the NodeB locks the reference clock source from the BTS to
achieve synchronization between the GSM and UMTS networks.
● Transmission over the Iur-g interface must satisfy QoS requirements listed in
the following table.
Table 4-3 QoS requirements on transmission over the Iur-g interface

QoS Item Target Value Maximum Value

RF Requirements
Based on the operator's spectrum information, obtain the available spectrum
bandwidth of a cell to be enabled with DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM and
determine the GSM and UMTS frequency planning solution. When planning
frequencies for GSM and UMTS cells, it is good practice to adhere to the following
rules:
● If the GSM spectrum is on both sides of the UMTS spectrum, frequency
replanning is required on the GSM side and the primary carrier on the UMTS
side to ensure that two consecutive UMTS carriers can be accommodated.
Before frequency replanning on the GSM side:
After frequency replanning on the GSM side:

(2020-01-20)

● Preferentially space BCCH frequencies of a GSM cell 1.9 MHz away from the
UMTS center frequency of a cell enabled with the DC-HSDPA Shared with
GSM feature.
● Plan a maximum of 25 GSM frequencies spaced less than 2.5 MHz from the
UMTS center frequency.
● GSM indoor distributed base stations cannot use frequencies spaced less than 2.5 MHz
from the UMTS center frequency. Otherwise, severe interference will arise.

DLCombFilterSelfOptSw set to ON.
b. Run the BSC MML command SET GMRCTRL with MRSWITCH set to ON
and MRLOGNCELLTYPE set to BCCHFREQ.
c. Run the BSC MML command SET GMRSCOPE with MRSCOPESWITCH
set to ON for all BTSs under the BSC.
You are advised to use the batch processing assistant on the LMT to
enable MR measurement on all BTSs. For details, see the "Batch
Processing Assistant" section in BSC6900 GSM LMT User Guide or
BSC6910 GSM LMT User Guide of BSC6900 GSM Product Documentation
or BSC6910 GSM Product Documentation.
d. Run the BSC MML command STR NCS to enable the BA polling function.
You are advised to set both Period and STEP to 1.
● Feature activation causes the secondary carrier cell to reset. Therefore, you
are advised to activate this feature when traffic is light, for example, in the
early morning.
● When this feature and multi-carrier features (such as DC-HSDPA and Flexible
Dual Carrier HSDPA) are enabled together, certain cells may experience
derating of multi-carrier HSDPA features. In this event, you can perform the
following operations:
– Run the SET NODEBALGPARA command with
HSPAMCINTERBRDSCHSW set to ON to enable joint scheduling of
multi-carrier cells on different baseband processing units.
– Run the SET NODEBRESALLOCRULE command with RULE set to
PERFFIRS.
● Before activating this feature, ensure that cells using this feature are set up on
the UBBP board.

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
If other cells are set up on the UBBP board, run the MML command STR
REALLOCLOCELL to re-establish local cells and to re-allocate the board
resources.
Running the STR REALLOCLOCELL command will cause service interruption

in the local cell. The service interruption lasts less than one minute.
● GSM frequencies that are spaced less than 2.5 MHz from the UMTS center
frequency must be configured as frequencies to be filtered in UMTS cells by
running the ADD UEXT2GCELL or MOD UEXT2GCELL command. Missing
configurations in frequency filtering will make GSM cells vulnerable to UMTS
interference.
● When running the ADD M3LNK command to add M3UA links over the Iur-g
interface, ensure that:
– When the BSC6910 is used, the number of SCTP links in the M3UA link
set is derived from (150 + CELL.KPI.TCH.TRAF.ERL.TRA/60)/1000.
– When the BSC6900 is used, the number of SCTP links in the M3UA link
set is derived from ROUNDUP [(50 + CELL.KPI.TCH.TRAF.ERL.TRAF/60)/
1000].
● To balance CPU load between SPU subsystems, allocate the SCTP links over
the Iur-g interface to multiple SPU subsystems. Transmitting 100 messages
per second over one SCTP on the Iur-g interface to the interface board will
increase the CPU usage of the system by approximately 2.5%.
● Parameters NBscIndex under the MO UEXT2GCELL and NBscIndex under the
MO UIURGCONN must be assigned the same value other than 0. Otherwise,
the Iur-g interface will become unavailable.
● After the DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM feature is enabled, the base station
preferentially sets up the cells using the DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM feature
on the UBBP board. If the UBBP board has insufficient cell resources,
ALM-28206 Local Cell Capability Decline is reported for cells set up on this
board and enabled with features WRFD-010696 DC-HSDPA and
WRFD-160209 192 HSPA Users per Cell.
● After this function is enabled, the output power of UMTS cells in the output
power monitoring results (choosing Monitor > Common Monitoring >
Output Power Monitoring on the Web LMT) may be higher than the actual
value. N/A is displayed if full filtering is performed.
● Activating the DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM feature increases the CPRI
bandwidth consumption. Each UMTS carrier requires contiguous CPRI
bandwidth, and the DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM feature may cause CPRI
bandwidth chunks, causing UMTS cell derating or unavailability. To avoid such
problems, re-allocate CPRI resources among all concerned UMTS cells to
ensure optimum CPRI bandwidth allocation.
● The NodeBs detect interference generated by MSs and therefore the uplink
RTWP and bit error rate are relatively higher than those in common cells.
● For details about the precautions for the auto configuration of downlink
adaptive band-pass filter function, see "Auto Configuration of Downlink
Adaptive Band-Pass Filter > Requirements > Others" in GU@5 MHz Feature
Parameter Description in RAN Feature Documentation.

carriers are set up on the same board.

A cell enabled with DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM does not serve common R99 and SC-
HSDPA users and carries only the RLs of the DC-HSDPA secondary carrier. Therefore, the
cell parameters related to common channels except the pilot signals can be set to the
minimum values to ensure that more power resources are used by HSDPA services.

4.5 Activation Observation

● After the downlink adaptive filter is enabled, observe the following counters:
– VS.CombFilter.FreqNum.Mean or VS.CombFilterExtend.FreqNum.Mean
▪ If any of the counters returns a value greater than 0, the feature has
taken effect.
▪ If both counters return value 0, this feature does not take effect.
When full filtering is performed on the 5 MHz bandwidth,
VS.CombFilter.FreqNum.Mean, VS.CombFilterExtend.FreqNum.Mean,
and VS.CombFilter.Freq1 to VS.CombFilter.Freq25 provide the number
of actually filtered GSM frequencies.
– Observe the following counters to determine whether DC-HSDPA has
taken effect:
▪ VS.HSDPA.DC.PRIM.UE.Mean.Cell: Check that its value is greater

than 0.
▪ VS.HSDPA.DC.SEC.UE.Mean.Cell: Check that its value is greater than

0.
● Observe whether auto configuration of downlink adaptive band-pass filter
has taken effect:
– Activation observation by collecting feature-related data
Execute the following script to export data:
EXP UDLFILTERADAPTOPT: DlFilterAdaptOptDataType=MaintenanceData;
If the value of the field "Downlink Adaptive Band-Pass Filter Optimization

feature" is "Valid", the auto configuration of downlink adaptive band-
pass filter function has taken effect.
– Activation observation by viewing generated configuration
If the feature activation duration is greater than that specified by
DLFilterAdpOptMinVolume, run the RNC MML command LST
UCELLGUDLINTERFCTRL to query the downlink filter relationship
configuration for cells enabled with DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM. If GSM
Cell Resource is set to DLFILTERADPOPT, the filter relationship has been
generated by the auto-configuration of downlink adaptive band-pass
filter function and the generated filter relationship configuration has
taken effect.
4.6 Network Monitoring

Monitor the following counters to evaluate the feature gains.
● VS.HSDPA.NotAllowSchedule.FreqShare
This counter provides the number of TTIs in which scheduling is disallowed in a

cell enabled with the DC-HSDPA Shared with GSM feature in the measurement
period.

(2020-01-20)
WCDMA RAN
● Average HSDPA throughput of UMTS UEs on the NodeB side

VS.HSDPA.DataOutput.Traffic/(VS.HSDPA.DataTtiNum.User x 2)
● DC-HSDPA throughput of UMTS UEs on the NodeB side
It is recommended that DC-HSDPA UE throughput be measured by the sector
of the primary and secondary carriers as follows: Sum of
VS.DataOutput.DCHSDPA.Traffic values of the primary and secondary
carriers on the sector/(Sum of VS.DCHSDPA.DataTtiNum.User values of the
primary and secondary carriers on the sector x 2)
● Average HSDPA throughput of cells on the NodeB side
VS.HSDPA.DataOutput.Traffic/[(VS.DataTtiRatio.Mean –
VS.HSDPA.InactiveDataTtiRatio.Mean) x Measurement period x 60]
After this feature is enabled, the total throughput of the DC-HSDPA primary and
secondary carrier cells increases compared with the single-cell throughput before
the feature is enabled. After this feature is enabled, the throughput of DC-HSDPA
UEs increases compared with the average HSDPA throughput of UMTS UEs before
the feature is enabled.
To achieve the expected gains, contact Huawei engineers.
After the feature is activated, the GSM performance slightly deteriorates. The
following table lists GSM performance counters to be monitored after the feature
is activated.
