Overview
A maximum of three baseband boards can be installed in a DBS3900, and each baseband board supports a maximum of three sector carriers. DBS3900 WiMAX V300R003C01 and V300R003C00 use the same BWA baseband processing and radio interface unit version b (BBBIb). Each BBBIb serves a maximum of 200 active mobile stations (MSs) for each sector carrier in partial usage of subchannels (PUSC) with all subchannels mode when the bandwidth is 10 MHz. 70% of the active MSs are configured with one pair of best effort (BE) service flows and the remaining 30% with one pair of BE service flows and one pair of extended real-time polling service (ertPS) flows. The long-term evolution baseband processing unit version c (LBBPc) has been added in DBS3900 WiMAX V300R003C01. Each LBBPc serves a maximum of 256 active MSs for each sector carrier in PUSC with all subchannels mode when the bandwidth is 10 MHz. 70% of the active MSs are configured with one pair of BE service flows, and the remaining 30% with one pair of BE service flows and one pair of ertPS service flows. DBS3900 WiMAX V300R003C01 provides the same peak throughput as DBS3900 WiMAX V300R003C00. The downlink (DL) peak throughput of one sector carrier is 31.41 Mbit/s with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Matrix B enabled, and the uplink (UL) peak throughput of one sector carrier is 9 Mbit/s with UL collaborative spatial multiplexing (CSM) or space division multiple access (SDMA) enabled if the following conditions are met:

The DL-to- UL subframe ratio is 29:18 in PUSC with all subchannels mode. The bandwidth is 10 MHz.
BTS3702C

BTS3702C WiMAX V300R003C01 provides the same system capacity as BTS3702C WiMAX V300R002C00. A maximum of two sector carriers can be configured.
1 Overview
Each BTS3702C serves a maximum of 256 active MSs, and supports a maximum of 300 pairs of service flows when only one sector carrier is configured in PUSC with all subchannels mode and the bandwidth is 10 MHz. Each BTS3702C serves a maximum of 150 active MSs, and supports a maximum of 150 pairs of service flows for each sector carrier when two sector carriers are configured in PUSC with all subchannels mode and the bandwidth is 10 MHz. The DL peak throughput of one sector carrier reaches 31.41 Mbit/s with MIMO Matrix B enabled, and the UL peak throughput of one sector carrier reaches 9 Mbit/s with UL CSM enabled

The DL-to-UL subframe ratio is 29:18 in PUSC with all subchannels mode. The bandwidth is 10 MHz.
BTS3701B

The BTS3701B supports only one sector carrier. Each BTS3701B serves a maximum of 100 active MSs and supports a maximum of 100 pairs of service flows in PUSC with all subchannels mode when the bandwidth is 10 MHz. The DL peak throughput of one sector carrier reaches 31.41 Mbit/s with MIMO Matrix B enabled, and the UL peak throughput of one sector carrier reaches 9 Mbit/s with UL CSM or SDMA enabled

The DL-to-UL subframe ratio is 29:18 in PUSC with all subchannels mode. The bandwidth is 10 MHz.
1.1.2 Network Performance

Network performance is optimized as follows:
The use of DL enhanced fractional frequency reuse (EFFR), UL EFFR, and DL power control enable interference to distribute evenly across sectors, and increases sector throughput in intra-frequency mode. The beamforming function is more robust. This obtains stable performance gain. Loads and BE satisfaction are better balanced among carriers in multi-carrier mode. UL SDMA improves base station (BS) spectral efficiency. Interference detection and countermeasures are provided. The SBC-REQ message handling process is optimized to expand UL network coverage.
1.2 Hardware
ASN-GW
Huawei WASN9770 V300R003C02 is recommended. It can run on the NE40E and Packet Gateway Platform (PGP).
BS
The hardware in DBS3900 WiMAX V300R003C01 is optimized as follows:

1 Overview
DBS3900 WiMAX V300R003C01 uses a new power board whose output power reaches 360 W. A new fan with a higher rotation speed is used, and the BBU heat dissipation reaches 650 W. The main control boards and baseband boards can be upgraded to support Long Term Evolution (LTE) time division duplex (TDD) systems without replacing any of the hardware. Each RRU3232 supports three carriers in 4T4R mode, and the output power over each antenna port is 20 W. The software can be upgraded to support a WiMAX- LTE TDD dual-mode system or an LTE TDD system. WiMAX is short for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. The following power cabinets can be used:

Indoor power cabinet TP48300/A Enhanced outdoor power cabinet APM30

Table 1-6 describes new operation and maintenance functions in V300R003C01. Table 1-6 New operation and maintenance functions in V300R003C01 Function Customized CHR Description Customized CHR helps you resolve subscriber complaints and analyze MS faults. Upon receiving subscriber complaints, you can collect customized CHR logs, and analyze subscriber call information according to the structure field documentation provided by Huawei.
1 Overview
Function MS information query optimized
Description The following parameters are added to the DSP ALLMSINFO command:

ULPER NI DLDATARATE ULDATARATE
You can run this command to query MS signal quality in real time. Trial license A trial license enables you to use a function for free for a trial period, and helps you decide whether to purchase the function. A trial license does not affect other functions for which licenses have been purchased. The default trial period is three months.
WCS
In V300R003C01, you can preset the time for a golden check. The system automatically checks benchmark parameters as scheduled. The neighboring cell parameter import function is added to the template-based and clone-based site deployment wizards. Neighboring cell parameters and radio parameters can be modified in batches on the WCS. A notification message is displayed when you attempt to modify a cold parameter. After a cold parameter is modified, you must block carriers for the modification to take effect.
Jitter information collection and graphical display
You can collect network latency and jitter information based on the IEEE P1588 protocol and view collected information in real time on the GUI. Only the BTS3702C and BTS3701B support this function.
Alarm correlation
This function decreases the number of alarms that are reported. It also enables you to identify the root causes of alarms, which facilitates alarm clearance. You can run an MML command to disable LMT-based manual alarm clearance. This prevents site engineers from manually clearing these alarms. The Web LMT provides the engineering quality self-check as a routine health check item. This self-check consists of subitems related to engineering quality, including global positioning system (GPS) satellite locking, antenna standing-wave ratio (SWR), and optical port power. The check results indicate whether a BS passes the check and also contain check criteria and related MML command execution results. This facilitates fault analysis and location. BS software packages are compressed more efficiently. As a result, downloaded and activated more quickly. Version rollback can be performed if necessary after a hot patch is installed.

3 Impacts of V300R003C01 Functions on V300R003C00
Impacts of V300R003C01 Functions on V300R003C00
3.1 Enhanced Multi-Carrier Load Balancing

3.1.1 Description
Multi-carrier load balancing is supported in versions earlier than V300R003C01. In V300R003C01, due to the differences of network coverage between carriers, this function is optimized as follows: Load balancing handovers from an outer carrier to an inner carrier are supported. The thresholds for starting and stopping this type of handover are lower than those for starting and stopping the original load balancing handovers. MSs are highly likely to enter the network over an outer carrier with optimal signal quality. If this happens, the outer carrier load is heavy. This function decreases the load on the outer carrier, and improves the network entry success rate. The existing algorithms for load balancing handovers and BE satisfaction balancing handovers are optimized. Now, cell edge MSs can be handed over to neighboring sectors and central MSs to other carriers in the same sector. The algorithm optimization ensures that load balancing handovers are performed in a timely manner. It also improves the handover success rate and balances loads and BE satisfaction across carriers on a multi-carrier network.
3.1.2 Capacity and Performance

System Capacity
Enhanced multi-carrier load balancing ensures that loads and BE satisfaction are balanced among carriers on a multi-carrier network, BSs can serve more MSs and carry more service flows as a result as well.
Network Performance
The possibility of BS overloads decreases, and the network entry success rate increases.
12
3.1.3 Hardware
The BTS3701B and RRU3701 do not support enhanced multi-carrier load balancing and BE satisfaction balancing, because they do not support multi-carrier configurations.

There is no impact on inter-NE interfaces.
3.1.5 Operation and Maintenance

3.2 UL EFFR
3.2.1 Description
UL EFFR is a fractional frequency reuse (FFR) technology used in the frequency domain. It ensures that the frequency reuse coefficient for the edge band is close to 3, and allows MSs at the central band to use all of the frequency resources. This expands network coverage and improves sector capacity. In V300R003C00, UL EFFR is known as inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC), and the extended band is not used. In V300R003C01, UL EFFR allows the use of the extended band. In V300R003C01, the first zone in a UL subframe is a PUSC with all subchannels zone. It is divided into a UL common band and a UL extended band. The UL common band occupies the same sub-band as the edge band in the second zone, and the extended band occupies the same sub-band as the central band in the second zone. MSs can be scheduled for the extended band to improve UL spectral efficiency. Figure 3-1Figure 3-1 shows UL EFFR that uses extended bands. Figure 3-1 UL EFFR that uses extended bands

System Capacity
BS UL throughput increases.
Network Performance
Scheduling MSs for the extended band increases interference on UL common bands in neighboring sectors at the same frequency band, but does not affect ranging check, channel quality indication channel (CQICH) performance, and acknowledgment (ACK) channel performance.

3.2.6 Other NEs

The MS must support the division of a UL subframe into two zones. If the first UL zone is a PUSC with all subchannels zone, the MS must automatically identify and skip the common band, or the MS allows the BS to specify the start of the extended band using OFDMA symbol offset and Subchannel offset in the UL Allocation Start IE or HARQ UL-MAP IE.

UL EFFR and UL CSM cannot be in the active state simultaneously, but UL EFFR and UL SDMA can.
3.3 DL EFFR
3.3.1 Description
DL EFFR is a key technology in intra-frequency networking mode. When DL EFFR is enabled, sector coverage is close to that in PUSC with 1/3 subchannels mode, and time-frequency resources are effectively used. This improves spectral efficiency. Similar to DL FFR, DL EFFR divides a subframe into a PUSC with partial subchannels zone and a PUSC with all subchannels zone. The PUSC with partial subchannels zone can be a PUSC with 1/2 subchannels zone or a PUSC with 1/3 subchannels zone. The PUSC with all subchannels zone has a fixed boundary, and all sectors are aligned along the boundary. This reduces interference between the edge areas of neighboring sectors. In the PUSC with partial subchannels zone, subchannel power is high. Subchannels in PUSC with partial subchannels zones in neighboring sectors do not overlap. This type of zone serves cell edge MSs on the UL common channel. In the PUSC with all subchannels zone, subchannel power is low. This type of zone serves cell center MSs. Figure 3-2 shows the subframe structure.
19
Figure 3-2 Subframe structure
In V300R003C01, MSs are scheduled between zones to maximize modulation order product code rates (MPRs) and improve BS spectral efficiency. MS scheduling between zones can be triggered based on BE satisfaction to improve average BE satisfaction in a BS. When DL EFFR is enabled, MS switches between beamforming mode and MIMO B+beamforming mode are optimized.

3.4 UL SDMA
3.4.1 Description
When UL SDMA is enabled, the spatial multiplexing technology allows multiple MSs to use the same UL time-frequency resources. This increases UL throughput over the air interface. The BS allows single-transmit-antenna MSs to use SDMA in the UL PUSC zone. The BS selects the MSs based on the measurement results on the physical layer (PHY) and the information reported by the MSs. SDMA gain is obtained by multiplexing UL time-frequency resources, as shown in Figure 3-3.
22
Figure 3-3 UL SDMA gain principle
As shown in Figure 3-3, Layer 1 and Layer 2 belong to the same time-frequency resource set, the amount of resources occupied by MS 1 and MS 2 are equal to that of resources occupied by MS 3. The pilot structure of MS 1 and MS 2 does not overlap with that of MS 3, and the BS demodulates data sent from two MSs based on the pilot structure. This increases UL throughput.

3.5 Interference Countermeasures

3.5.1 Description
TDD interference occurs between two distant BSs when the latency exceeds the transmit transition gap (TTG). To prevent TDD interference, interference countermeasures are introduced and BSs perform the following operations: 1. 2. 3. 4. Measures the NI of the UL common band to detect interference. Reports an alarm if interference is detected. Scans the preamble to locate interference sources. Reserves the last symbols of the DL frame to cancel interference between BSs, or configures a safety zone in the front of the UL common band to prevent interference.

The BS reports an interference alarm upon detecting that the difference between the common band NI and the data region NI exceeds the value of the ULNIDETECTTH parameter or that the absolute value of the common band NI is higher than the specified threshold. The BS clears the interference alarm upon detecting that the difference between the safety zone NI and the data region NI is smaller than the value of the ULNIDETECTTH parameter.
3.5.6 Other NEs

The MS must allow adding of a safety zone before the common band.
Preamble scanning has priority over any other functions such as reverse spectral scanning. Therefore, other commands are terminated when they conflict with the STR PREAMBLESCAN command. Interference on the UL common band increases if UL EFFR is enabled and safety zones are configured. Therefore, enable IRC to maintain UL EFFR performance.

3.6 DL Power Control

3.6.1 Description
When DL power control is enabled, a lower-level MCS is used and the DL transmit power of some MSs is decreased to reduce intra-frequency interference between BSs without affecting the MS quality of service (QoS) performance. To maintain sector throughput, MCS levels can be reduced only when the DL load is light.

System Capacity
DL power control helps increase the number of online MSs if loads are unbalanced on the network.
Network Performance
Intra-frequency interference decreases between sectors.

3.7 MCS Level Selection Optimized When IRC Is Enabled

3.7.1 Description
When IRC is enabled, the BS measures the post-processing carrier-to-interference-and-noise ratio (CINR) after the pre-processing CINR measurement. The pre-processing CINR is obtained at the baseband antenna port after linear combination, and the post-processing CINR is obtained after maximum ratio combining (MRC) or IRC self-adaptation. In versions earlier than V300R003C01, only the pre-processing CINR is used to determine MCS levels. As a result, the CINR does not improve after IRC is enabled. In V300R003C01, the BS dynamically determines the UL receiving mode based on pre-processing and post-processing CINRs on the MS. This maximizes UL link spectral efficiency. This function defines three UL receiving modes:
Single-stream mode: CSM and SDMA are disabled, and the BS determines the MCS level based on the pre-processing CINR. This ensures link reliability and normal service running when the radio conditions are poor.
28
Single-stream enhanced mode: CSM and SDMA are disabled, and the BS determines the MCS level based on the post-processing CINR. Compared with single-stream mode, this mode improves spectral efficiency and link availability when there is interference. CSM-SDMA mode: CSM or SDMA is enabled, and space multiplexing is used. This mode uses the pre-processing CINR to determine the MCS level. Compared with single-stream mode, CSM-SDMA mode doubles spectral efficiency in optimal channel conditions.
The BS selects the UL receiving mode that can maximize spectral efficiency.

System Capacity
This function helps increase UL throughput when interference is strong.

3.8 UL SBC-REQ Coverage Optimized

3.8.1 Description
The SBC-REQ message used during MS network entry is large in size, and cannot be segmented. Three subchannels are used to transmit the SBC-REQ message, which increases the possibility of transmission failures. This decreases UL network coverage and reduces the network entry success rate. In V300R003C01, a BS sends an MS the SBC-RSP message containing the minimum capability set attribute if it does not receive an SBC-REQ message from the MS. This helps expand BS coverage.

3.9 Air Interface Synchronization Clock System

3.9.1 Description
This function is applicable to indoor coverage where Global Positioning System (GPS) clock synchronization usually fails due to weak indoor GPS signals. Preamble signals travel over a longer distance than broadcast signals and service signals do in a WiMAX BS. The air interface synchronization clock system enables a BS to demodulate preamble signals sent from neighboring BSs to obtain a synchronization clock source. Then, the BS synchronizes its time and frequency with those of a neighboring BS. This function achieves clock synchronization in indoor coverage at a low cost.

Use of CQICH-based weight estimation algorithm: Compared with the pilot-based beamforming weight estimation algorithm, the CQICH-based weight estimation algorithm provides high precision, optimal interference suppression, and no additional overhead for the UL bandwidth. Restriction on MS scheduling for the space time coding (STC) zone: The statistic results from beamforming commercial sites indicate that some MSs supporting dedicated pilots (DPs) fail to meet beamforming requirements and are scheduled for the STC zone. As a result, resources are wasted in the STC zone. In V300R003C01, only a few MSs can be scheduled for the STC zone, and the mechanism for detecting idle MSs in the dedicated pilot zone is optimized.
