About this document
About this document
Purpose
This document gives a high-level description of all FDD features introduced in LA5.0.0.
The purpose of this document is to help service provider personnel prepare to receive a
new release by clearly explaining the changes in this release that affect operational
activities.
Attention
Starting with Release LA5.0.0, all LTE RAN customer document numbers will have a
17-digit format to meet Alcatel-Lucent documentation standards. Therefore, this
document's number has changed from 418-000-014 to 9YZ-03990-0005-FMZZA.
Old title
For LA4.0 and earlier, the title of this document was Release Operational Impacts (ROI)
FDD Technical Description.
New title
For LA5.0.0 and later, the title of this document is FDD Feature Planning Guide.
Audience
The primary audience for this document is service provider personnel who work with the
LTE RAN in one of the following capacities:
Network Operation and Maintenance Specialists
Network Planners
Engineers with responsibility for network planning, design, configuration, or
optimization
A secondary audience is Alcatel-Lucent personnel who are interested in learning about the
LTE RAN feature set.
Scope
This document lists features for the 9400 eNodeB only, not for the entire LTE Solution.

About this document
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Reason for reissue
This document has been reissued to add the following:
A statement that in LA5.0.0 feature L115223.1, Inter-freq Load Balancing, has a
capacity limit of < 8UE per eNodeB.
A statement that in LA5.0.0 there is a capacity limitation of 60 users for feature
115239.1, Voice over LTE for Commercial Launches.
Also, the following two features were deleted from this document because the features
were released in LA5.0.1, not LA5.0.0:
L115294 - Band 4 (AWS) ROCM LTE eNodeB Configurations in LA5.0.0
L115614 - Band 2 (PCS) ROCM LTE eNodeB Configurations in LA5.0.0
Supported systems
This document applies to the System Release LTE RAN Release LA5.0.0 frequency
division duplex (FDD).

L115149.1 - Support of Attribute Value Change Notifications

FID L115149.1 Support of Attribute Value Change Notifications
Global Market, NAR Market
Feature Description
This feature allows the eNodeB to inform the Management System (5620 SAM) of any
creation or deletion of managed objects and attribute value changes that occur on the
eNodeB dynamically and are not initiated by the Management System.
Feature Benefits
The introduction of the proactive notification from the eNodeB to the Management
system allows the operator to be aware of the autonomous changes occurring in the
eNodeB. This functionality is particularly useful for SON. Any tuning or dynamic
adjustment of parameters as a result of a SON function in the eNodeB is immediately
communicated to the 5620 SAM via SNMP, allowing the operator visibility into the
changes as a result of optimization.
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
LA5.0.0 L115149.1 - Support of Attribute Value Change Notifications
System
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
This also allows the Management System to be in sync with the eNodeB.
In addition the notifications are also raised via NETCONF. Any northbound system can
subscribe to these notifications.
Notifications are raised for all read-only parameters (like hardware equipment
parameters) as well, allowing the operator visibility into any hardware-related
autonomous parameter changes.
Impacted Systems
eNodeB OAM, SAM, and NPO
Dependencies
This is a base feature and is related to the introduction of the NETCONF tail-f stack.
Restrictions/Limitations
None
Engineering Impacts
There are no engineering impacts. The feature already takes into account any flooding
due to bulk changes. For example, if a WO is pushed down from the NEM, this change is
considered a bulk change and there will only be a single notification raised, which will
trigger 5620 SAM to up-sync the changes.
Operational Requirements
None.

L115217.1 - eNB Class Parameter Change Improvements

L115217.1 eNB Class Parameter Change Improvements
Feature Description
This feature improves the ability to re-configure the eNodeB without impact on service.
The key driver behind this feature is to further reduce the number of configuration
parameters that require an eNodeB reboot or board reset when updated in the eNodeB.

Feature Benefits
This feature is part of the ongoing drive to improve the operability of the eNodeB during
commercial operation. This feature benefits the operator by further reducing the need for
downtime of the eNodeB during configuration upgrades which will in turn increase the
time during which the eNodeB is able to handle traffic and therefore generate revenue.

Restrictions/ Limitation
A Signal Quality alarm (IK4006014) may be raised in some scenarios for cells equipped
with certain type of RFM see Engineering Impacts for more details.
Engineering Impacts
Upon detection of an S1 link outage the eNodeB will not only auto-bar each cell of the
eNodeB but also reduce the cell's referenceSignalPower by a configurable offset
(DynamicCoverageMgmt::cellShrinkForS1LinksOutage that can be up to 30 dB) to
minimize inter-cell interference. Depending on whether the type of RFM of the cell
supports "EDPD bypass" or not, an RFM Signal Quality alarm (IK4006014) may be
raised as a result of referenceSignalPower change to the minimum (reduced by 30 dB).
Since referenceSignalPower is proportional to total Tx power and output linearization for
high fidelity of signal is not needed when it is reduced by (up to) 30 dB, the alarm may be
ignored if the goal is to eliminate inter-cell interference when all S1 links are lost.
Alternatively, the configurable offset of cellShrinkForS1LinksOutage can be set to a
smaller value (for example, 15 dB) to avoid the alarm in the S1 link outage scenario at the
expense of a certain level of inter-cell interference.
This feature introduces the following new parameters:
TxPowerDynamicRange::maxRefSigPower - This parameter specifies the upper
bound of referenceSignalPower above which the cell's LTE RRH/TRDU will not
operate properly and ACLR (adjacent channel leakage ratio) level is strictly limited by
FCC and ETSI regulations. The value is derived from the power settings of the cell
and managed by Alcatel-Lucent Templates. WARNING: The maximum absolute
power per RE must not be exceeded. This parameter must not be changed without an
agreement from Alcatel-Lucent.
TxPowerDynamicRange::minRefSigPower - This parameter specifies the lower
bound of referenceSignalPower below which the cell's LTE RRH/TRDU may not
operate properly. The value is derived from the power settings of the cell and
managed by Alcatel-Lucent Templates. WARNING: The minimum absolute power
per RE taking into account LTE RRH/TRDU minimum power should be respected.
This parameter must not be changed without an agreement from Alcatel-Lucent.
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
System
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
DynamicCoverageMgmt::cellShrinkForS1LinksOutage - This parameter specifies an
offset from referenceSignalPower and the net is used to minimize cell coverage when
the cell is auto barred due to S1 links outage where existing calls are locally released
gradually and outgoing HOs are not possible. Typically the offset value is larger than
cellShrinkForCallsDraining to eliminate coverage overlapping with neighbor cells for
minimal inter-cell interference.
DynamicCoverageMgmt::cellShrinkForOamBarring - This parameter specifies an
offset from referenceSignalPower and the net is used when the cell is manually barred
by OAM. The offset can be set to a value different from cellShrinkForCallsDraining
or cellShrinkForS1LinksOutage.
DynamicCoverageMgmt::cellShrinkForCallsDraining - This parameter specifies an
offset from referenceSignalPower and the net is used to encourage outgoing HO from
the cell and discourage incoming HO to the cell when existing calls on the cell are
drained prior to Cell Block by auto use of cell barring. Typically the offset value is
smaller than cellShrinkForS1LinksOutage to maintain coverage overlapping with
neighbor cells during the draining interval.
Note: Multiple steps of automatic cell shrinking are not supported in this release.
Update of existing parameters:
Many (not listed here) Some are changed to Class C; some are changed to per-cell from
per-eNodeB.

L115218.1 - Support for eNB Software Patching

FID L115218.1 Support for eNB Software Patching
Global Market
Feature Description
This feature is intended to enhance the software management of the eNodeB by:
Rebuilding only those software executable files that have changed
Downloading only those software executable files that have changed
Activating a new software load with the least disruptive actions possible.
Rebuilding and downloading only those software executable files (SEFs) that have
changed is an important step to facilitate patching and to reduce software download and
activation times. For LTE, a "patch" is a complete load build with a unique name and
version just like any other load but the thing that makes this a patch is that only one (or a
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

System
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
small number) of SEFs have changed from the previous load. The other SEFs are the
same. If the eNodeB can recognize and download only those SEFs that have changed,
software download times are reduced. But the bigger advantage comes because software
activation times can also be reduced. The eNodeB resets only the boards that are affected
by the changed SEFs, for example, a modem reset or a RF module (RFM) reset instead of
a complete eNodeB reset. This reduces downtime during software upgrades.
Feature Benefits
This feature benefits the customer by reducing download times, reducing activation times,
reducing downtime during software upgrades, and facilitating patching.

SEFs are built at the HW unit level, meaning there is one SEF per HW board type. There
is one SEF for each controller, modem and RF module type. In addition, all the modems
in an eNodeB must be of the same type.

System
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
In most cases, software activation still causes a service outage even if only the affected
HW units are reset. Service outages happen for the following reasons:
If the controller software changes, an eNodeB reset is required.
If the modem software changes and all modems are the same type, then all modems
are reset.
If the RFM software changes for a particular RFM type, then all RFMs of that type
are reset. In general, an eNodeB uses the same type of RFM for all sectors.

L115220.1 - eNB US Time Zone Support for PM Files

FID L115220.1 eNB US Time Zone Support for PM Files
NAR Market
Feature Description
This feature provides the ability to manage the time zone of individual eNodeBs The
eNodeB Time will be made available in eNodeB performance reports.
The eNodeB provides and manages the UTC offset and the DST rules. The eNodeB
displays eNodeB local time with +/- UTC offset if timeZoneName is set to
Non-UTC.
A new parameter, timeZoneName, is used to support this feature. This parameter allows
the service provider to configure the timeZoneName for a particular eNodeB via SAM.
Note: The timeZoneName format matches with the Olson time zone database for
timeZoneName format.
The following time zones are supported:
Atlantic Standard Time (AST) UTC-4
Eastern Standard Time (EST) UTC-5
Central Standard Time (CST) UTC-6
Mountain Standard Time (MST) UTC-7
Pacific Standard Time (PST) UTC-8

Load Based Idle Mode Mobility
OI number
3BK36395DCAA
Feature Description
This feature enables the eNodeB to automatically change the cell reselection parameters
broadcast in the SIB3 based on the load in the serving cell. Up to 4 loading levels can be
defined. For each loading level the service provider can configure the amount by which
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
LA5.0.0 L115203.1 - Load based Idle Mode mobility

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
each SIB3 reselection parameter will be modified. The following SIB3 parameters can be
adapted: q-Hyst, threshServingLow, threshServingLowQ-R9, s-nonIntraSearch,
s-nonIntraSearchP-r9, and s-nonIntraSearchQ-r9.
Up to 3 loading levels can be defined by creating a CellReselectionAdaptation object for
each level.
Each CellReselectionAdaptation object contains parameters that define the delta between
the existing MIM parameters that are used to populate each of the SIB3 parameters listed
above and the SIB3 value to use at a loading level that is defined by CellReselectionAd-
aptation::lowerBound and CellReselectionAdaptation::upperBound.
If the cell loading is not within the range defined by any CellReselectionAdaptation
object then the SIB3 value is taken from the baseline MIM parameter in
CellSelectionReselectionConf. Thus it is possible to construct 4 loading levels if desired,
for example when CellSelectionReselectionConf has 3 objects defined as follows:
Object 1 has bounds of 80 and 100%
When the loading level is from 20 to 59% the normal MIM parameters in
CellSelectionReselectionConf apply.
The service provider can configure how often the automated adjustment can be made. The
loading level is derived from the recent UL / DL PRB consumption.
An individual weighting factor can be applied for each of the 4 components of PRB
consumption using MIM parameters. At the interval defined by autoReselectMinInterval
the system will apply the weighting factors as following:
CellSelectionReselectionConf::weightDlPrbCell * (% of cell DL PRB consumed)
CellSelectionReselectionConf::weightUlPrbCell * (% of cell UL PRB consumed)
CellSelectionReselectionConf::weightDlPrbEnb * (% of total PRB consumption of
the band in DL)
CellSelectionReselectionConf::weightUlPrbEnb * (% of total PRB consumption of
the band in UL)
Feature Benefits
This feature provides the capability to automatically adjust broadcast cell reselection
parameters based on the loading condition of the serving cell. It can reduce the load in the
serving cell by causing some idle UEs to re-select to neighbor cells, and thus some future
connection requests will be handled by the neighbors. The operator will be able to
configure the extent of the adjustments made.

Per QCI-Group Measurement Parameters, a call is considered to be in the VoIP QCI
Group if it has a VoIP bearer set up; in the non-VoIP GBR QCI Group if it has a GBR
bearer but no VoIP bearer set up; in the non-GBR QCI Group otherwise.
Existing measurement parameters apply to calls that have only non-GBR parameters;
for the other types of calls (VoIP, calls with non-VoIP GBR bearers), offsets are
applied:
Support for simultaneous power and quality based Intra-LTE and IRAT measurement
configurations
This support is achieved through the configuration of two event reports
(ReportConfigEUTRA object), one power-based and the other quality-based, for the
purpose of activating (A2) or deactivating (A1) measurement gaps and
inter-frequency/inter-RAT measurements, for blind redirection (A2), and for intra- and
inter-frequency handover (A3, A4 and A5). Report configurations for inter-RAT
mobility (B2) can also be duplicated to have both power-based and quality-based
serving cell thresholds.
Enabling of multi-carrier measurement prioritization for load balancing purposes
Carriers are divided into 3 priority groups with the two following parameters:
mediumToHighPriorityThreshold and lowToMediumPriorityThreshold.
Measurements for high priority carriers are set up when the offload decision is taken.
Measurements for medium priority carriers are set up after timeOffsetForMediumPri-
orityCarriers has elapsed.
Measurements for low priority carriers are set up after another timeOffsetForLowPri-
orityCarriers has elapsed.
Feature benefits
This feature enhances eNodeB measurement management to enable Simultaneous RSRP
and RSRQ measurements, per QCI grouped RSRP and RSRQ thresholds and increased
service provider control on handover procedures.

L115223.1 Inter-freq Load Balancing

L115223.1 - Inter-freq Load Balancing

Inter-frequency Load Balancing
OI number
3BK36395DBAA
Feature Description
This feature introduces the capability of performing load balancing between eUTRAN
carriers.
The feature can be split by function, into three parts:
Preventive offloading / load balancing: Includes the triggers and mechanisms used to
balance the load between LTE carriers in connected mode
Load information exchange over X2, per 3GPP TS36.423: Allows the gathering of
load information from neighbor cells in eNodeBs connected through X2
Aims to redirect UEs to another frequency within LTE when the cell becomes
loaded.
Cell load is determined by the total number of UL/DL PRBs consumption.
Threshold configurable by operator.
Hysteresis configurable parameter (in the order of seconds) preventing load
balancing from being triggered too often.
eMCTA load and capacity filtering: Allows the system to avoid triggering an
inter-frequency handover to a cell that is highly loaded.
The target cell load can be used by eMCTA as either a differentiator or as target cell
selection criteria.
As a differentiator, the information allows the cell with the lesser load to be selected.
As target cell selection criteria, the information can be used, along with a threshold
condition, to filter out target cells that have a certain load.

Global Market
Feature Description
With this feature, the NodeB provides detection capability to monitor the radio link
failures (RLF) caused by RRC re-establishment on an unprepared cell. The detection
capability provides the per monitored cell relation between one cell and its LTE
intra-frequency neighboring cells. This monitoring relies on PM counters per Neighbor
Cell Relations (NCR).

RLF monitoring and recovery improvement
OI number
3BK36395IAAA
Feature Benefits
This feature improves network monitoring capability and improves commercial KPI for
handover mobility.
Impacted Systems
For this feature, the main impacted subsystem in the eNodeB is CallP. The CallP is
impacted by the following scenarios:
Intra-eNodeB handover scenarios:
HO to wrong cell: Re-establishment on wrong eNodeB during intra-eNodeB HO
execution
HO to wrong cell: Re-establishment on wrong eNodeB after successful
intra-eNodeB HO execution
Inter-eNodeB handover (over X2) scenarios:
HO too late: Re-establishment before X2 HO preparation request
HO too early: After successful X2 HO execution
HO to wrong cell: Re-establishment on wrong eNodeB during X2 HO execution
HO to wrong cell: Re-establishment on wrong eNodeB after successful X2 HO
execution
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
This feature also impacts the other eNodeB subsystems:
CM: The eNodeB CM model includes a feature activation flag, parameters for guard
timer.
PM: The eNodeB CM model includes new counters and new screening on existing
counters.
PCMD: The eNodeB PCMD adds an RLF INDICATION in UE PCMD record with
Re-establishment ECGI.
WiPS: The eNodeB WPS includes about 10 WPS checks to configure the feature.
This feature also impacts NPO. The centralized CDR algorithm in NPO uses the
monitoring data provided by the eNodeB with L115361.1 RLF monitoring (Step 1).
Dependencies
Features
Interactions with other features:
FID L115361.1 includes the deployment scenarios where the source eNodeB has not
yet prepared the handover and where therefore the target eNodeB does not have the
UE context and cannot recover the re-establishment that is triggered by the UE. These
scenarios are said to be 'with re-establishment to an unprepared cell'. Any other case is
not in the scope of L115361.1. Other cases can be supported by the eNodeB via other
features like post-LA5 L103177 SON Handover Optimization. There is a split of
scenarios between LA5 L115361.1 and post-LA5 L103177.
L115361.1 interacts also with post-LA5 L103177 because L115361.1 RLF monitoring
data is used by L103177 MRO.
L115361.1 interacts also with post-LA5 L114476 Centralized Call Drop Rate Self
Optimization because L115361.1 RLF monitoring data is used by L114476 CDR.
Note that these interactions are not applicable for LA5.
Dependencies on other features: None
There is no dependency on any other feature.
The proposed network architecture for L115361.1 uses the basic eNodeB services for PM
file transmission and for PCMD transmission from the eNodeB to the NPO via the
EMS/SAM. Before LA5 the PM file was sent from the eNodeB to EMS/SAM via SNMP
and from the EMS/SAM to NPO via FTP. In LA5.0.0, FID L115462 PM Counter
Delivery via sFTP improves PM reporting mechanism with sFTP: this is a basic eNodeB
PM service.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
LteCell::hoReportTimer
This parameter is used for the following case: when the handover is successful from a
source cell to a target cell, a re-establishment can occur with the source cell or a
wrong cell. This parameter specifies the maximum time the eNodeB allows at the
target cell to determine whether it should count a 'Handover Too Late' towards the
re-establishment cell or whether it should inform the source cell of a failure
('Handover Too Early' if the re-establishment is on the source cell or 'Handover To
Wrong Cell' if the reestablishment is on a wrong cell). This timer is started in the
eNodeB after an incoming intra-eNodeB or X2 handover is successful. Refer to TS
36.300.
This feature has no impact on existing parameters.
Feature Type
Optional
L115458.1 - Connected Mode mobility enhanced for reserved

cells
L115458.1 - Connected Mode mobility enhanced for reserved cells
Feature Description
The aim of this feature is to allow handovers towards cells reserved for service provider
use for UEs used by the service provider's staff, and to block all other incoming
handovers.
Prior to opening up newly installed eNodeBs to use by commercial UEs, service
providers may have a period of time where access to these eNodeBs is restricted and the
service provider's teams verify that the radio parameters have been set properly. 3GPP
Standards have a mechanism to forbid idle mode reselection of commercial UEs towards
these restricted eNodeBs, but there is no mechanism to forbid incoming handovers of
commercial UEs while allowing handovers of the service provider's test UEs. This feature
introduces a proprietary mechanism to permit this behavior. The mechanism is based on
associating a given RFSP index value to the service provider's test UEs, and using this
RFSP index in the eNodeB to distinguish the service provider's test UEs from the general
population UEs.
Alcatel-Lucent's customers will gain from this mechanism as they will be able to perform
more testing in a controlled environment prior to opening up the new eNodeBs to
commercial use.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
To mitigate the fact that handovers to reserved cells are not allowed for commercial UEs,
this feature also introduces a handover retry mechanism on the second best cell if the
handover preparation to the best cell fails for specific reasons.
Operational aspects of the feature include:
CM
Parameter to indicate for which RFSP index incoming handovers should be
allowed when a cell is reserved for service provider use
Parameter to allow handover retry to a second best cell
Parameter to activate the feature

Mobility control to reserved cells
OI number
3BK36395IEAA
Feature Benefits
This feature enables Alcatel-Lucent's customers to perform handover testing with
dedicated test UEs without permitting commercial users to access the cells. This allows
for performing parameter tuning prior to putting into commercial service a newly
deployed eNodeB or cluster of eNodeBs.

Feature benefit
This feature enhances the eNodeB mobility management to support VoIP service. The
feature allows maintaining VoIP calls as long as possible in the following situations:
When the UE enters an eUTRAN area where IMS VoIP is not supported.
When mobility towards UTRAN is triggered for an established IMS VoIP and IMS
VoIP is not supported by UTRAN, an SRVCC to UTRAN procedure may be
attempted, thus allowing Voice call continuity by transferring the service into the
UTRAN CS domain.

Feature Description
This feature provides eNodeB support of the SRVCC procedure as defined in 3GPP
specification TS 23.216 to enable handover of IMS VoIP calls from LTE to the UMTS CS
domain, where the IMS multimedia telephony sessions need to be anchored in the IMS.
The eNodeB capabilities provided by this feature are the following:
Perform appropriate neighbor cell selection and measurement configuration to the
UE, and determine that SRVCC is required for this handover based on UE/network
capability, QCI and target cell's VoIP capability.
Initiate handover request to MME and indicate SRVCC handover to CS domain in the
message.
Initiate handover from LTE to UE.

Feature Benefits
The SRVCC capability provided by this feature is important for the IMS Voice service
launch in LTE. The SRVCC capability enables voice call continuity from a PS access
(LTE) to a CS access (UTRAN) for calls that are anchored in IMS when the UE is
capable of Tx/Rx on only one of those RAN at a given time. SRVCC to UTRAN gives a
CS-handover-like user experience for voice calls when changing between LTE PS access
and legacy UTRAN CS access.

Feature Description
This feature introduces the following improvements related to the S1 interface:
Support of partial failures of Path Switch Request procedure
In case the EPC failed to perform the user plane path switch for at least one, but not
all, of the eRABs, the eNodeB considers the Path Switch procedure as successful and
releases the data radio bearers corresponding to the failed eRABs.
Support of the incoming Error Indication message from MME
When Error Indication messages are received from the MME, the eNodeB takes
appropriate actions, such as release of resources associated to inconsistent S1AP IDs,
and abortion of ongoing procedures, depending on the ongoing procedure state and on
the type of detected error.
New counters to count received and sent Error Indication messages
Feature Benefits

L115372 - Transport CAC

FID L115372 Transport CAC

Transport CAC
OI number
3BK36396DAAA
Feature Description
This feature introduces a Congestion and Access Control (CAC) in the transport layer (IP
backhauling) of the eNodeB. The CAC applies either Per Ethernet Physical Port or Per
VLAN depending on the configuration.
Transport CAC is a preventive control, which safeguards the QoS of the existing RAB by
refusing additional RAB when necessary. The CAC ensures that there are enough
resources for the RAB to be admitted. For GBR services, there is an obvious link between
CAC and call proceeding as the eNodeB is required to guarantee resources for the GBR.
However, for elastic applications (non-GBR), there is no obvious link. For elastic
applications the service provider can choose if and where to set the reserved bit rate. How
the service provider sets the rate depends upon the degree of risk that the service provider
is prepared to take.
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
LA5.0.0 L115372 - Transport CAC
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The QoS mechanisms are applied to both CAC and traffic priority handling.
The bandwidth of a transport link is logically segmented into transport Classes of Service,
also called transport CoS.
The number of classes is configurable: from 1 up to 16.
As an example, in LA5.0.0 CoS could be defined as follows:
CoS for Voice Traffic (and also reserved room for High priority eRABs as Emergency
calls)
CoS for Real Time traffic
CoS for Gold Data traffic
CoS for Silver Data traffic
CoS for Bronze Data traffic
A transport CoS allows the service provider to manage a transport Quality of Service
compatible with constraints from variable packet length transmissions and real-time
traffic.
The bandwidth of each transport CoS is configurable.
Within the transport link, the bandwidth of a transport CoS is managed by a function
called CAC for Transport Call Admission Control. The TCAC applies to the following:
Per transport link of type Port (or Physical Link) or VLAN
To the user plane traffic S1U carried over this transport link
On a per eRAB basis:
For voice and GBR traffic, the TCAC relies on the guaranteed bit rate provided on
the S1C.
For non-GBR traffic, the TCAC relies on a configured minimum bit rate.
For a transport CoS, the TCAC ensures that the sum of the eRABs associated to
this CoS doesnt exceed the bandwidth configured for this CoS.
To the CoS to which the eRAB QCI belongs.
The transport admission control is triggered on events during the call lifetime.
Feature Benefits
This feature allows service providers to control the admission on new entrant bearer on a
per service type basis.
The service provider can then favor or restrict the admission of certain applications
depending on their impact/cost on the LTE network resources.

In LA5.0.0, only the T-CAC is supported.
The management of the Transport-congestion (also known as resources pre-emption
management) is a post LA5.0.0 feature that means that whenever a Class of Services does
not have enough free bandwidth to accept a new RAB, this last one is rejected. A
mechanism to accept some Emergency RABs for some Emergency VoIP calls is provided.
This mechanism should be considered as a temporary solution, until resources
pre-emption is supported by the eNodeB (not in LA5.0.0) in the transport layer.
Engineering Impacts
This feature contributes to compliance to the SLA (loss of packets, delay, packets delay
variation [jitter]) in complement to the feature offered by the shaper by limiting the
volume of traffic per CoS.
This feature manages the load of the physical Ethernet Link or the VLAN. The
configuration of the transport CAC and the shaper is defined from the Committed
Information Rate (CIR). The value of the CIR is defined in the SLA, either per port or per
VLAN.

LA5.0.0 L103896.1 - ECID location method and LPP/LPPa location
LTE Multimedia Services control plane protocol support for Commercial Deployment
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
This feature provides eNodeB support of the ECID location method based on TA_adv
value and includes the following capabilities:
Support of ECID requests (for Cell ID, TadvType1, RSRP/RSRQ) from eSMLC over
LPPa interface.
An option for the eNodeB to compute cell RF antenna coordinates based on the GPS
receiver inside the eNodeB determining its own position.
New configuration parameters for the operator to directly enter the cell RF antenna
position or to enter the position delta when the RF antenna and the GPS antenna are
not co-located.
A warning if the distance between configured and computed cell RF antenna
coordinates or the distance between old and new cell RF antenna coordinates exceeds
a configurable threshold.
LPP protocol mapping at the eNodeB that allows location assistance information to be
sent from the eSMLC to the UE and allows location measurement information to be
sent from the UE to the eSMLC.
Support of LPPa protocol for ECID. LPPa interface support can be enabled or
disabled.
Base Station Almanac information retrievable from SAM for use by the Location
Server (SLP or eSMLC). This information includes new parameters for TadvType1
correction, cell beamwidth, cell type, and cell antenna coordinates.
This feature also provides the following additional functionality that is separate from
ECID:
An option for the eNodeB to compute BBU coordinates based on eNodeBs GPS
receiver determining its own position.
New configuration parameters for the operator to directly enter the BBU position or to
enter position delta when the BBU and the GPS antenna are not co-located.
Warning if the distance between configured and computed BBU coordinates or the
distance between old and new BBU coordinates exceeds a configurable threshold.
Feature Benefits
This feature supports the ECID position location method, which is needed for E911
position location. Although less accurate than OTDOA, ECID position location method is
available even in places where OTDOA doesnt work. For commercial launch of VoIP in
LTE, the E911 caller location identification is a prerequisite.
Having the eNodeB compute RF antenna and BBU coordinates reduces the service
provider's manual configuration effort when cell RF antennas are close to the eNodeBs
GPS antenna.
Threshold warnings offer a way to detect errors in position configuration.

Hardware
The User Plane ECID requires SLP.
The Control Plane ECID requires eSMLC.
Computed coordinates require the eNodeB to be equipped with GPS.
Software
The Control Plane ECID requires the LPP interface between UE and eSMLC and
optionally the LPPa interface between the eNodeB and the eSMLC.
Interworking
None
Devices
Release 9 UE that supports ECID measurement requests.
Standards
LPP: TS 36.355
LPPa: TS 36.455
Restrictions/ Limitations
For the eNodeB to compute BBU and/or cell antenna coordinates, the eNodeB must
establish an accurate GPS position fix. From cold start, this takes approximately 1 hour
and up to 24 hours to achieve maximum position fix accuracy.
This feature does not work when the antenna delay is unknown, for example with
Distributed Antenna System (DAS).
Engineering Impacts
Cell antenna coordinates are assumed to have an accuracy of 10 meters in the horizontal
plane and an accuracy of 9 meters in altitude. Because accuracy of cell antenna
coordinates directly affects accuracy of ECID and OTDOA position calculations, a higher
accuracy is desirable, especially when OTDOA is being used.
Cell antenna coordinates can be configured directly by the operator or can be computed
by the eNodeB. When the eNodeB computes cell antenna position, error is introduced if
the cell antenna is not co-located with the eNodeBs GPS antenna. This error can be
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
corrected by providing the position delta, which is the difference between the cell antenna
position and GPS antenna position using the Earth Centered, Earth Fixed (ECEF)
coordinate system. The ECEF coordinate system is defined as follows: from center of the
earth, X,Y define the equatorial plane, X axis points to longitude=0, Y axis points to
longitude=90, Z axis points to the north pole.
For the eNodeB to compute the position with the assumed accuracy, the position delta
should have an accuracy of 9 meters in space.

L115222.1 - VoIP Emergency call for commercial deployment

L115222.1 - VoIP Emergency call for commercial deployment
Feature Description
This feature allows the eNodeB to support IMS Emergency VoIP calls. The following
capabilities are supported by this feature:
NULL Integrity Protection algorithm (EIA0) for air interface used for UEs making
an emergency call that cannot be authenticated.
Broadcast indication of whether IMS Emergency calls are allowed for Limited
Service Mode (LSM) UEs.
Ignore Handover Restriction List while an emergency call is ongoing.
Option to reserve some RRC connections at the cell level for emergency calls (IMS or
CSFB).
When an emergency call needs to use a reserved connection then preemption can be
used in order to maintain the desired number of reserved connections.
When at the limit on # of RRC connections at the eNodeB level a new emergency call
can be admitted if pre-emption is enabled and there is an existing UE that can be
preempted.
Support of bearers combination: EC VoIP + regular VoIP.

L115239.1 - Voice over LTE for Commercial Launches

L115239.1 - Voice over LTE for Commercial Launches
OI number
3BK36393AMAA
Feature Description
This feature manages VoIP bearers from a commercially deployed UE using the Dynamic
Scheduler (DS).
This feature benefits from the LA4.0.1 field experimentations with L115647 VoLTE
Friendly User Trial Solution and brings the same improvements such as Header
Compression of VoIP packets via RoHC V1. Compression of VoIP packets via RoHC V1
is supported to minimize the VoIP bearer impact on Air Interface resources, that is, impact
on user capacity and data throughput.
As RoHC reduces the required bandwidth of the VoIP application, the appropriate
scaled-down bandwidth must be taken into account by the scheduler to avoid
over-provisioning of air-interface resources for the VoIP bearers (which would in turn
impact user capacity and throughput).
Feature Benefits
This feature enables support of the VoLTE application within a commercial network
deployment and benefits from the LA4.0.1 field experimentations with L115647 VoLTE
Friendly User Trial Solution.
