DC-HSDPA+ PREREQUISITES
Northern West

 Overviews Analysis Summary

Summary
Finding
• Total in Northern West are 52 NodeBs with active attempt of DC-HSDPA (290 cells)
• Of 52 NodeBs DC-HSDPA applied, no issues related to configuration (same group, TCELL, Multigroup, adjacent frequency, etc)
• There are 57 cells with improper DC-HSDPA implementation (No attempt DC-HSDPA but parameter DC-HSDPA active)
Highlight (need to be trial)
• Based on Huawei Documentation, there are two types of DC-HSDPA RRU configuration
- Shared 1 RRU
- Dual RRU
From static test result (speed test) in macrocell 3G_E721G_3G_GRAHA_XL_MEDAN (Dual RRU) with direct connection
to MSTP (means no issue at BW transmission), throughput DC-HSDPA is still low
• Proposed to configured with shared one RRU for 1 sector

DC HSDPA PREREQUISITES (RF Planning)

In order to deploy DC HSDPA feature optimally, below are the required information (mandatory)
• Downlink 64QAM & Downlink L2_Enhancend feature must be active (RNC & NodeB License)
• DC-HSDPA Function per cell must be active
• The two DC-HSDPA cells must belong to the same sector
• The two DC-HSDPA cells must belong to the same baseband board
• The two DC-HSDPA cells of a DC-HSDPA group are in the same downlink resource group of a NodeB
• The two DC-HSDPA of the same sector share one transmit channel, that is, share one RRU.When using dual RRU, the cascading
mode should be used between two’s RRU
• One local cell can belong to only one DC-HSDPA group
• The two DC-HSDPA cells of the same sector must have the same TCELL
• When the two DC-HSDPA cells of a DC-HSDPA group operate on adjacent frequencies, the difference between the values of the
UARFCNDownlink parameters for the two cells must be greater than 19 and meanwhile less than or equal to 25. When the two DC-
HSDPA cells of a DC-HSDPA group operate on non-adjacent frequencies, the difference between the values of the UARFCNDownlink
parameters for the two cells must be an integer multiple of 25
• The RNC software version is RAN12.0 or later
• The NodeB software version is RAN12.0 or later
• UEs must belong to HS-DSCH category 21 or higher
• For other parameters, please see Huawei Docs/HeDex

• Same sector is configured in the same multigroup

• Same sector : Loccell 1-4, Loccell 2-5, Locell 3-6

Same Baseband Group

• If only two carriers applied in the nodeB, all carriers are set to the same BasebandGroup ID (e.g BBGroup Id 0)
• If three carriers applied in the nodeB, DC-HSDPA carriers must be set in the same Baseband Group ID

Shared One RRU or Dual RRU Cascade

• Shared One RRU • Dual RRU (Cascade Mode)

- Sector 1 of F1 & F2 are configured in RRU slot 1 - Sector 1 of F1 is configured in RRU slot 0, F2 slot 1
- Sector 2 of F1 & F2 are configured in RRU slot 3 - Sector 2 of F1 is configured in RRU slot 2, F2 slot 3
- Sector 3 of F1 & F2 are configured in RRU slot 5 - Sector 3 of F1 is configured in RRU slot 4, F2 slot 5

Same sectors Same TCELL

• TCell of DC carrier group cells or MC carrier group cells must be the same
• If Tcell of same sector are not the same, DC is not active/no attempt of DC HSDPA

• After set Tcell properly

Adjacent Frequency of DC HSDPA Cells

• If two DC-HSDPA cells of a DC-HSDPA group operate on adjacent frequencies, the difference between the values of the
UARFCNDownlink parameters for the two cells must be greater than 19 and meanwhile less than or equal to 25

• If the two DC-HSDPA cells of a DC-HSDPA group operate on non-adjacent frequencies, the difference between the values of the
UARFCNDownlink parameters for the two cells must be an integer multiple of 25

• F2-F3 (non adjacent frequency DC-HSDPA cells) are not recommended to be applied
• Based on active attempt DC-HSDPA, no issue with F2-F3 implementation as DC-HSDPA cells
