WTTx Feature Parameter Description 3 Overview
3 Overview
Wireless to the x (WTTx) is a cost-efficient Internet wireless broadband solution

for households. This solution boasts the same service experience as the optical
broadband solution. In this release, WTTx allows for Internet access services,
Internet Protocol television (IPTV) services, and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
services. Internet access is a basic WTTx service and is enabled for all WTTx users.
Only unicast IPTV services, but not multicast IPTV services, are available in this release.
This solution allows home terminals to directly access the wireless network
through the customer-premises equipment (CPE). Figure 3-1 shows the
networking.
Figure 3-1 WTTx networking
In this WTTx solution, the CPE acts as a WTTx user to provide wireless broadband
access to a wireless network.

5G RAN
WTTx Feature Parameter Description 4 WTTx
4 WTTx
4.1 General Principles

During user access, the gNodeB uses QoS class identifiers (QCIs) to identify WTTx
users and provides service commissioning or guarantees the minimum rate for
WTTx users. This meets WTTx service requirements while ensuring MBB service
experience.
QCIs belong to QoS parameters of evolved packet system (EPS) bearers in non-standalone
(NSA) networking, and 5G QoS Identifiers (5QIs) belong to QoS parameters of QoS flows in
SA networking. However, regardless of whether NSA networking or SA networking is used,
services are finally mapped to QCI-specific bearers of a gNodeB. Differentiated service
(DiffServ) is implemented by allocating different bearers. For details, see QoS Management.
4.1.1 WTTx User Identification

Operators plan that WTTx users use different QCIs (in NSA networking) or 5QIs
(in SA networking) from MBB users to carry services. The WTTx user identification
process is as follows:
1. The core network assigns QCIs (in NSA networking) or 5QIs (in SA
networking) to users.
Different QCIs (in NSA networking) or 5QIs (in SA networking) are assigned
to WTTx users and MBB users. The core network notifies the corresponding
gNodeB of QCIs (in NSA networking) or 5QIs (in SA networking) assigned for
each type of user during RAB setup. In SA networking, after receiving 5QIs
assigned for a type of user, the gNodeB maps the 5QIs to the corresponding
QCIs.
2. The gNodeB configures the B2H service type for each QCI (by using
thegNBQciBearer.B2hServiceType parameter).
– If gNBQciBearer.B2hServiceType is set to Internet, this QCI indicates
Internet access services.
– If gNBQciBearer.B2hServiceType is set to Video, this QCI indicates IPTV
services.

(2020-01-20)
5G RAN
For VoIP services, the default bearer with QCI 5 is always used for Simple Internet
Protocol (SIP) signaling, and the dedicated bearer with QCI 1 is always used for voice
packets.
3. Given that Internet access is a basic WTTx service and is enabled for all WTTx
users, the gNodeB identifies a user that has been assigned a QCI for Internet
access services as a WTTx user.
Internet access services are assigned the default bearer for Internet PDU sessions, which is a
non-guaranteed bit rate (non-GBR) bearer. IPTV services can be assigned a GBR bearer or a
non-GBR bearer.
4.1.2 IPTV Service Commissioning

IPTV services are highly valued for operators. This release uses standardized GBR
QoS procedures to guarantee the rate of IPTV services. This type of QoS flow does
not require configurations on the base station side. For details about the GBR QoS
procedures, see section 5.7 "QoS model" in 3GPP TS 23.501 V16.1.0.
The playback of IPTV videos may experience frame freezing, pixelations, black
screens, or other problems. To avoid these occurrences, Huawei defines the
following performance counters and call history records (CHRs) for IPTV service
commissioning:
● N.User.RRCConn.Active.QCI.Avg or N.User.RRCConn.Active.QCI.Max
counter: Used to measure the number of active users with the QCI dedicated
to IPTV services in NSA networking. The minimum rate of IPTV services must
be guaranteed. If there are an excessive number of active IPTV users, capacity
expansion is required.
● PERIOD_UE_PACKET_MEASURE_PDCP or
PERIOD_UE_PACKET_MEASURE_RLC CHR for IP transmission quality
monitoring: Used to record the IPTV transmission quality in NSA or SA
networking, including the packet loss rate, packet delay, and packet jitter.
4.1.3 Rate Guarantee for Internet Access Services

MBB services take precedence over Internet access services in terms of scheduling.
Insufficient air-interface resources may cause the Internet access service rate to be
overly low, affecting basic service experience. The uplink and downlink rate
guarantee function can be used for Internet access services by setting the
following QCI-specific parameters:
● gNBDUMacParamGroup.UlGuaranteedRate
● gNBDUMacParamGroup.DlGuaranteedRate
The parameters specify the preferred minimum bit rates (PMBRs) of the
corresponding QCI for Internet access services.
● If the user rate is lower than or equal to the PMBR, the gNodeB increases the
user scheduling priority to ensure the basic bandwidth for Internet access
services.
● If the user rate is higher than the PMBR, the gNodeB restores the user
scheduling priority to ensure the bandwidth for MBB services.

(2020-01-20)
5G RAN
This release uses standardized GBR QoS procedures to guarantee the rate of IPTV services.
The PMBR does not need to be configured on the base station.
4.1.4 Rate-based Service Provisioning

Service provisioning refers to the process in which an end user selects a package
and the operator determines the capability to provide services committed in this
package for the end user and registers the end user with the package.
WTTx belongs to wireless networks. It is much more difficult to ensure the average
rate of WTTx users than fixed line users. Therefore, traditional WTTx service
provisioning is based on the peak rate capability, that is, the capability committed
in the tariff and the capability evaluated by the operator. However, with the rise of
services such as IPTV that have high requirements on the average rate, service
provisioning based on the peak rate capability becomes a competitive
disadvantage compared with fixed network services. Therefore, rate-based service
provisioning is introduced. With rate-based service provisioning, a package is
charged based on the average rate and the operator determines the capability to
provide the average rate required in the package for users. If the average rate can
be provided as required, the operator registers users with the package. If the
average rate cannot be provided as required, the operator does not register users
with the package.
The process of rate-based service provisioning is as follows:
1. On the WTTx Suite > WTTx Map page of the MAE, the operator staff enters
the address of the WTTx service to be provisioned for a user.
2. The service provisioning system obtains the primary cell that this address is
homed to.
3. The gNodeB provides the service provisioning system with information such as
signal strength and system load of the primary cell.
4. Based on the gNodeB -provided information and other information, the
service provisioning system estimates the average rate that can be obtained
by the user. If the average rate meets the package requirements, service
provisioning is allowed. If the requirements are not met, service provisioning is
disallowed.
For details about the rate-based service provisioning process, see service
provisioning-related descriptions in WTTx Suite and Operation Guide in MAE
Product Documentation (EulerOS, x86) or MAE Product Documentation (EulerOS,
TaiShan).

4.2.1 Benefits
WTTx User Identification

WTTx user identification is the basis for IPTV service commissioning, rate
guarantee for Internet access services, and rate-based service provisioning to take
effect.
IPTV Service Commissioning

This function provides the KPIs for monitoring the number of active IPTV UEs and
the CHRs for monitoring the IP packet transmission quality, helping operators take
measures promptly to ensure the IPTV service performance when the IPTV service
rate is limited or the IPTV data transmission quality deteriorates.
Rate Guarantee for Internet Access Services

Setting QCI-specific PMBRs for WTTx users ensures that the WTTx user rate is not
lower than the PMBR when air-interface resources become insufficient. This will
allow WTTx users to enjoy a basic Internet access experience.
Rate-based Service Provisioning

This function improves the competitiveness of WTTx services.
