Configuring DC-HSDPA
This to describe how to activate, verifies, and deactivates the DC-HSDPA. DC-HSDPA is the acronym for Dual Cell-HSDPA.

Prerequisites

DC-HSDPA configuration procedure

The network is ready. Table 1 describes the requirements on NEs.

Table 1 Requirements on NEs NE CN RNC NodeB Requirements The CN and HLR support a downlink peak rate of 42 Mbit/s per user. The software version is RAN12.0 or later. Hardware requirements: The 3900 series base station is configured with a baseband board supporting six cells (for example, WBBPb3, WBBPb4, WBBPd1, or WBBPd2), or two baseband boards, each supporting three cells (for example, WBBPb1 or WBBPb2). The software version is RAN12.0 or later. The UE must belong to categories 21 to 24, as specified by the 3GPP specifications.

UE

The license has been activated.

Context
The DC-HSDPA feature allows the UE to establish downlink connections to two inter-frequency co-coverage cells simultaneously, thus increasing the peak downlink throughput of the UE. The gain of downlink throughput is higher when the UE is located at the cell edge.

Procedure
Activation Procedure 1. Run the RNC MML command DEA UCELL to deactivate the cell. For example, DEA UCELL: CellId=1; 2. Run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH to select CFG_HSDPA_DC_SWITCH from the Channel configuration strategy switch list. For example, SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: CfgSwitch=CFG_HSDPA_DC_SWITCH-1; 3. Run the RNC MML command SET UFRC to set Preferred MIMO_64QAM or DC_HSDPA character is set to DC_HSDPA. For example, SET UFRC: MIMO64QAMorDcHSDPASwitch= DC_HSDPA; 4. Run the RNC MML command SET UFRCCHLTYPEPARA to set the HSDPA threshold for DL streaming services and for DL BE services.

For example, SET UFRCCHLTYPEPARA: DlStrThsOnHsdpa=D64, DlBeTraffThsOnHsdpa=D64; 5. Run the RNC MML command MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH to select DL_L2ENHANCED and DC_HSDPA from the Cell Hspa Plus function switch list. For example, MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH: CellId=1, HspaPlusSwitch=DL_L2ENHANCED-1&DC_HSDPA-1; 6. Run the RNC MML command MOD UCELLHSDPAto select Automatic from the Allocate Code Mode list, select ON from the Code Adjust Switch for HSDPA list. For example, MOD UCELLHSDPA: CellId=1, AllocCodeMode=Automatic, CodeAdjForHsdpaSwitch=ON; 7. Run the RNC MML command LST UCELL to view the UARFCNDownnlink of a cell, ensure that the two cells in the DC-HSDPA work in the neighbor frequencies. LST UCELL: LstType=ByCellId, CellId=1; 8. Modify the IPPATH BW from 21Mbps to be 42Mbps For example, ADD IPPATH:ANI=5, PATHID=0, IPADDR="10.10.2.4", PEERIPADDR="10.169.14.140", VLANFLAG=DISABLE, CARRYFLAG=NULL, PATHT=EF, PEERMASK="255.255.255.255", TXBW=42000, RXBW=42000, PATHCHK=DISABLED, ITFT=IUB, TRANST=IP, TRMLOADTHINDEX=2; ADD IPPATH:ANI=5, PATHID=1, IPADDR="10.10.2.4", PEERIPADDR="10.169.14.140", VLANFLAG=DISABLE, CARRYFLAG=NULL, PATHT=AF43, PEERMASK="255.255.255.255", TXBW=42000, RXBW=42000, PATHCHK=DISABLED, ITFT=IUB, TRANST=IP, TRMLOADTHINDEX=2; ADD IPPATH:ANI=5, PATHID=2, IPADDR="10.10.2.4", PEERIPADDR="10.169.14.140", VLANFLAG=DISABLE, CARRYFLAG=NULL, PATHT=AF33, PEERMASK="255.255.255.255", TXBW=42000, RXBW=42000, PATHCHK=DISABLED, ITFT=IUB, TRANST=IP, TRMLOADTHINDEX=2; ADD IPPATH:ANI=5, PATHID=3, IPADDR="10.10.2.4", PEERIPADDR="10.169.14.140", VLANFLAG=DISABLE, CARRYFLAG=NULL, PATHT=AF23, PEERMASK="255.255.255.255", TXBW=42000, RXBW=42000, PATHCHK=DISABLED, ITFT=IUB, TRANST=IP, TRMLOADTHINDEX=2; ADD IPPATH:ANI=5, PATHID=4, IPADDR="10.10.2.4", PEERIPADDR="10.169.14.140", VLANFLAG=DISABLE, CARRYFLAG=NULL, PATHT=AF13, PEERMASK="255.255.255.255", TXBW=42000, RXBW=42000, PATHCHK=DISABLED, ITFT=IUB, TRANST=IP, TRMLOADTHINDEX=2;

DC-HSDPA configuration procedure

ADD IPPATH:ANI=5, PATHID=5, IPADDR="10.10.2.4", PEERIPADDR="10.169.14.140", VLANFLAG=DISABLE, CARRYFLAG=NULL, PATHT=BE, PEERMASK="255.255.255.255", TXBW=42000, RXBW=42000, PATHCHK=DISABLED, ITFT=IUB, TRANST=IP, TRMLOADTHINDEX=2; 1. Modify the NodeB IPPATH from 21Mbps to 42Mbps 2. Run the NodeB MML command ADD LOCELL to add local cell 1. 3. Run the NodeB MML command ADD LOCELL to add local cell 2. 4. Run the NodeB MML command ADD DUALCELLGRP to add a dual cell (DC) group. In this step, set the parameters First Local Cell ID and Second Local Cell ID to the ID of local cell 1 and local cell 2. For example, ADD DUALCELLGRP: FIRSTLOCELL=1, SECONDLOCELL=2; 5. Run the RNC MML command ACT UCELL to activate the cell. For example, ACT UCELL: CellId=1;

Verification Procedure
1. Run the NodeB MML command LST DUALCELLGRP to list all configured DCHSDPA cell groups. For example, LST DUALCELLGRP:;

Deactivation Procedure
1. Run the RNC MML command MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH to deselect CFG_HSDPA_DC_SWITCH from the Channel configuration strategy switch list. For example, MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH: CellId=1, HspaPlusSwitch=DC_HSDPA-0; 2. Run the NodeB MML command RMV DUALCELLGRP to remove the DCHSDPA cell group. For example, RMV DUALCELLGRP: LOCELL=1;
