Overview

2 Overview
Owing to the restriction on the number of UEs involved in a system performance test and the complexity
of the test environment, it is difficult to use multiple UEs to construct a radio transmission environment
subject to interference at a certain level. This feature enables the setup of multiple downlink analog
channels on the Uu interface to simulate the interference caused by multiple codes and to implement the
downlink load test of a cell.
The feature provides a built-in function for simulating the load on a cell in the NodeB. It also facilitates
the cell load test.

3 Technical Description

3 Technical Description
When the orthogonal code noise simulator (OCNS) feature is used, all analog channels use mutually
orthogonal channel codes and each channel code adopts irrelevant PN9 random data. All analog
channels use different powers, but the powers of the channels is fixedly proportional to one another. This
feature is used to simulate the signal interference between channel codes and signal PAR in the real
environment. The total power of all analog channels can be set to simulate different downlink
interference (load) levels, which helps the operator to evaluate the system performance of a real UE at
different downlink load levels.
The downlink network load simulation uses the channelization codes from 112 to 127 whose SF = 128.
Therefore, when starting the downlink network load simulation, it is advised to reserve the channelization
codes in the RNC. And after starting the load simulation, new service can not be built in the channel
resource occupied by the simulation.
If there are services in a cell, the simulated load value should be calculated in the certain range when
starting the downlink load simulation. Because an excess of load value will result in the available service
stopped because of deteriorated SNR and downlink channel. The target value of the downlink load can
be set through the MML command MOD DLSIM.
If you adjust channel power of a cell after downlink load simulation is started, the total predefined cell
load varies with channel power. To keep the total load unchanged, stop the downlink load simulation and
then restart the simulation.
This feature can be performed on the OMC, and the cell load test of multiple NodeBs can be started
simultaneously.

Feature Deployment

4 Feature Deployment
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature WRFD-031200 OCNS
(Orthogonal Channel Noise Simulator). This feature cannot be configured using the CME.

Prerequisites

Dependencies on Hardware
This feature does not depend on the hardware.

Dependencies on Other Features

This feature does not depend on other features.

License
This feature is not under license control.

Procedure

Activation Procedure

1. Run the NodeB MML command STR DLSIM to start downlink load simulation. In this step, set Local
Cell ID and Load Ratio (%).

This command can be successfully executed only when the corresponding logical cell exists.

The downlink network load simulation uses the channelization codes from 112 to 127 whose SF = 128.

If you start the downlink network load simulation, it is advised to reserve the channelization codes in the RNC.

After starting the DL load simulation, new service can not be built in the channel resource occupied by the simulation.

Verification Procedure

1. Run the NodeB MML command DSP DLSIM to query the downlink load simulation result. In this step,
specify Local Cell ID. The execution result displayed on the LMT shows the simulated load rate.

Deactivation Procedure

1. Run the NodeB MML command STP DLSIM to stop the downlink load simulation. In this step, specify
Local Cell ID.

Example
//Activation procedure
STR DLSIM: LOCELL=1, LR=80;
//Verification procedure
DSP DLSIM: LOCELL=1;
//Deactivation procedure
STP DLSIM: LOCELL=1;
