baseband processing and radio interface unit ver. b (BBBIb) and BBBI.
Each BBBIb or BBBI 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.
Compared with V300R002C03, V300R003C01 has a higher peak throughput. The

downlink (DL) peak throughput of one sector carrier reaches 31.41 Mbit/s with multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) Matrix B enabled, and the uplink (UL) peak throughput
of one sector carrier reaches 9 Mbit/s with UL collaborative spatial multiplexing (CSM)
or space division multiple access (SDMA) enabled
The DL-to-UL subframe ratio is 29:18 in PUSC with all subchannels mode.
The bandwidth is 10 MHz.

and eNodeB are bound.
Binding relationship check: The M2000 can check whether the BS

and eNodeB are bound.
Base station binding: The M2000 automatically binds the BS and

eNodeB if the check results indicate that they are not bound.
Version matching check: The M2000 checks whether the BS

version and the eNodeB version match before an upgrade is
performed. The upgrade is performed only when the versions
match.

Impacts of V300R003C01 Functions on

V300R002C03
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, and 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.

Ltd

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.

3.2 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 V300C003C00, UL EFFR without extended bands was introduced.
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 1.1Figure 1.1 shows UL EFFR that uses extended bands.

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 timefrequency 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 1.1 shows the subframe structure.

Ltd
24

Figure 1.1 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.

DL EFFR increases BS DL throughput.
Network Performance
DL EFFR improves BE subscriber experience.

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 1.1.

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.
Measures the NI of the UL common band to detect interference
2.
Reports an alarm if interference is detected
3.
Scans the preamble to locate interference sources
4.
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

System Capacity
There is no impact on system capacity.

Number of times there is no interference in the first three

must be canceled.
Fault Management
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 higher priority than 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.

Ltd

System Capacity
DL power control helps increase the number of online MSs if loads are unbalanced on the
network.

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 preprocessing 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.
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 singlestream mode, CSM-SDMA mode doubles spectral efficiency in optimal channel
conditions.
The BS selects the optimal UL receiving mode that can maximize spectral efficiency.

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

This function cannot be used on the BTS3702C, because it does not support IRC.

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.

System Capacity
Throughput decreases by less than 3%, because several data frames are not used for data
transmission periodically over the air interface when the BTS3701B is receiving preamble

3.15 Power Saving Scheduling

3.15.1 Description
Power saving scheduling enables a BS to transmit service data using the start part of a DL
subframe and to stop power amplification after data transmission. This eliminates power
consumption due to pilot transmission and static power consumption due to power amplifiers
when no data is transmitted on the DL. As a result, BS power consumption decreases.
Figure 1.1 shows data transmission in the DL subframe when power saving scheduling is
enabled.

If a large number of DL zones are configured, BS power consumption does not significantly
decrease due to zone boundary limitations. In this case, this function should be disabled.

R1.3
3.16.1 Description
V300R002C03 supports the R6 interface complying with the NWG R1.0 and R1.2.
In addition to the R6 interface based on the NWG R1.0 and R1.2, V300C003C01 also
supports the R6 interface based on the NWG R1.3. This facilitates interoperability between
NEs supplied by different vendors, and reduces the requirements for matching R6 interfaces

between the BS and the ASN-GW.

3.16.3 Hardware

R6 interfaces based on the NWG R1.0, R1.2, and R1.3 are supported.

Data Configuration
The NWGVERSION parameter is added to the following commands:
MOD SIGENHCFG
LST SIGENHCFG
The NWGVERSION parameter can be set to one of the following values:
PRE_12: The BS uses the R6 interface based on the NWG R1.0.
NWG_12: The BS uses the R6 interface based on the NWG R1.2.
NWG_13: The BS uses the R6 interface based on the NWG R1.3.
AUTO: The BS uses the R6 interface based on the NWG R1.2 or R1.3, which is
determined in the first message that the ASN-GW sends to the BS over the R6 interface
during MS network entry. In the message header, if S bit is set to 1, the R6 interface
complies with the NWG R1.3, and if S bit is set to 0, the R6 interface complies with the
NWG R1.2 or earlier.
For a new BS of V300C003C01, the default value of the NWGVERSION parameter is

AUTO.
For a BS upgraded from V300C002C03 to V300C003C01, the R6 interface is used based on
the same NWG version as that used before the upgrade. This ensures that the R6 interfaces on
the BS and the ASN-GW complies with the same NWG protocol.

3.16.6 Other NEs

The R6 interfaces on the ASN-GW and the BS must comply with the same NWG protocol.

BSs of V300C003C01 do not support NWG R1.3-based R6 messages or TLV if they
communicate with the ASN-GW over the R6 interface that complies with the NWG R1.2 or
an earlier version.
