Configuring CS Voice over HSPA/HSPA+

This section describes how to activate, commission, and deactivate the optional feature WRFD-010619 CS Voice over HSPA/HSPA+.

1.1 Prerequisites
The network is ready. The following table describes the requirements on NEs. NE CN RNC Requirements None. There is no requirement for the hardware. The software version is RAN11.0 or later. NodeB There is no requirement for the hardware. The software version is RAN11.0 or later. UE The UE supports this feature.

The features on which this feature depends have been activated, as described in the following table. Feature CS voice over HSPA/HSPA+ Dependencies In the case of CS voice over HSPA, the following features should be activated in advance: WRFD-010610 HSDPA Introduction Package WRFD-010612 HSUPA Introduction Package In the case of CS voice over HSPA+, the following feature should be activated in advance: WRFD-010686 CPC-DTX/DRX

The license item CS Voice over HSPA/HSPA+ on the RNC has been activated.

1.2 Context
The implementation of CS voice services over HSPA is introduced in 3GPP Release 8. In the case of CS voice services over HSPA, uplink CS voice packets are carried on the E-DCH and downlink CS voice packets are carried on the HS-DSCH. CS Voice over HSPA is intended for CS conversational AMR and AMR WB. CS streaming services are still carried on the DCH. The IMS for VoIP services is not required as the CS voice services over HSPA are carried on the CS domain of the CN.
In the case of HSUPA, it is recommended that the non-scheduling transmission mode be used. In the case of HSDPA, it is recommended that the Enhanced Proportional Fair (EPF) algorithm be activated. The purpose is to reduce the delay of CS voice services. It is recommended that the WRFD-010686 CPC-DTX/DRX feature be activated to increase the system capacity. To activate the CPC-DTX/DRX feature, configurations on the RNC and NodeB are required.

1.3 Procedure
Activation Procedure
Step 1 Run the RNC MML command SET UFRCCHLTYPEPARA to set the parameter CS voice channel type to HSPA(UL EDCH,DL HSDSCH). For example, SET UFRCCHLTYPEPARA: CSVoiceChlType =HSPA; Step 2 (Optional) If CS voice services need to be carried on the 2 ms Transmission Time Interval (TTI), run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH. Then, select MAP_HSUPA_TTI_2MS_SWITCH from the Service mapping strategy switch list. For example, SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: MapSwitch=MAP_HSUPA_TTI_2MS_SWITCH-1; Step 3 (Optional) Run the RNC MML command SET UFRC to set the parameter HSUPA TTI type of CS voice traffic to EDCH_TTI_2ms. For example, SET UFRC: CSVoiceHsupaTti=EDCH_TTI_2ms; Step 4 (Optional) If the dynamic adjustment of CS voice services over HSUPA from 2 ms TTI to 10 ms TTI needs to be used, run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH. Then, select DRA_VOICE_TTI_RECFG_SWITCH from the Dynamic resource allocation switch list. For example, SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH DraSwitch= DRA_VOICE_TTI_RECFG_SWITCH-1; Step 5 In the case of HSUPA, use the non-scheduling strategy (no configuration required). In the case of HSDPA, use the EPF scheduling strategy. The purpose is to reduce the delay of CS voice services. To configure the EPF scheduling strategy, run the NodeB MML command SET MACHSPARA to set the parameter Scheduling Method to EPF(Enhanced PF).

For example, SET MACHSPARA: SM=EPF;

Commissioning Procedure
Step 1 In the Navigation Tree pane on the RNC LMT, click the Trace tab. In the displayed Trace Navigation Tree pane, double-click UMTS Services. On the unfolded list, double-click Uu Interface Trace. In the displayed Uu Interface Trace dialog box, select RRC_RB_SETUP and RRC_RB_RECFG as shown in Figure 1-1 to trace Uu interface signaling messages. Figure 1-1 Uu Interface Trace dialog box

Step 2 Analyze the trace messages. If the data traced on the Uu interface is displayed, as shown in Figure 1-2, you can infer that CS voice services are established on the DCH. If the data traced on the Uu interface is displayed, as shown in Figure 1-3, you can infer that CS voice services are established on the HSPA/HSPA+.

Step 3 If CS voice services are carried on the HSPA or HSPA+, trace the RRC_RB_SETUP or RRC_RB_RECFG message on the Uu interface to view the type of carried TTI, as shown in Figure 1-4. Figure 1-4 Type of TTI carried in the message

Deactivation Procedure
The services admitted before the deactivation of this feature are not affected. The services admitted after the deactivation will not use this feature.

Step 1 Run the RNC MML command SET LICENSE to deselect CS_OVER_HSPA(CS voice over HSPA) from the Function Switch4 list. For example, SET LICENSE: SETOBJECT=UMTS, ISPRIMARYPLMN=YES, FUNCTIONSWITCH4=CS_OVER_HSPA-0;
