AIR INTERFACE L96853 128815 LA1.1 UE Emission control in 700MHz Upper C block This feature uses over-provisioning of PUCCH mechanism to

provide receiver protection and UE emission control on the

uplink. The over-provisioned PUCCH area shall be used to

support PUSCH, where the defined A-MPR can be fulfilled. At

lower band edge, PUSCH must be supported with lower power

(subject to A-MPR limitation imposed by 3GPP for band 13, CR

R4-090902 in March 2009) while PUSCH shall be supported in

middle and upper band edge with normal power.

This feature is specific to band 13.

RRM L97915 128824 LA1.1 Scheduling Evolutions This feature defines the scheduling solution aiming at

differentiating the access to the air interface to different type of

applications such as VoIP, GBR and non-GBR data traffic.

The dynamic resource allocation (DRA) or packet scheduling

(PS) role is to allocate and de-allocate resources (including

buffer and processing resources and resource blocks) to user

and control plane packets.

The DRA feature consists in involving several sub-tasks,

including the selection of radio bearers whose packets are to be

scheduled and managing the necessary eNB and air interface

resources (e.g. the power levels or the specific resource blocks

used). The DRA feature may also take into account restrictions

or preferences on some of the available resource blocks or

resource block sets due to inter-cell interference coordination

considerations (not in LA2.0).

The PS feature part typically takes into account the QoS

requirements associated with the radio bearers, the channel

quality information for UEs, buffer status, interference situation,

etc.

Also used for RAC and congestion control features, the DRAPS

solution across e-UTRAN releases will benefit from hereafter S1-

AP SAE Bearer QoS parameters.

o AMBR (from LA1.0)

o SAE bearer list: SAE Bearer Level QoS Parameters

types of bearer.

It also specifies the maximum number (up to 3) of simultaneous

bearers to support per user connection in that EUTRAN release

as far as the terminal vendor roadmaps are defined so far.

fallback state from RRC_connected state in case of data

inactivity period of a connected user.

INTERFACES & STANDARD COMPLIANCEL82729 128681 LA1.1 S1 Flex Introduction This feature creates the ability for the S1 interface to be a multi-

to-multi interface, where one node in E-UTRAN can be

connected to multiple MME / SGWs for different terminals.

This implies that an eNodeB must be able to determine which of

the MMEs covering the area where an UE is located, should

receive the signalling sent from a UE.

MOBILITY L97916 128825 LA1.1 Lossless Intra-LTE Mobility In E-UTRAN RRC_CONNECTED state, network-controlled UE-

assisted handovers are performed. In E-UTRAN RRC_IDLE

state, cell reselections are performed. This feature is describing

mobility for both RRC_CONNECTED and RRC_IDLE based on

criterion for best radio conditions.

Assumption is that neighbors are known by each eNB, or at

least each eNB can map identifiers provided by UE in

measurement reports onto neighbor nodes. Configuration

Management for Neighbor Cell List and Automatic Neighbor

Relation (ANR) function are not part of this feature.

Following mobility modes are supported by this feature:

- Inter-MME mobility management (S1 flex)

- Intra-LTE intra-frequency cell reselection based on radio

measurements in RRC_IDLE

- Intra-LTE intra-frequency handover based on radio

measurements in RRC_CONNECTED

OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS L76506 128613 LA1.1 Self Configuration of eNB Network deployment is one of the early phases of network

operations. For a customer, it is an expensive phase since it

involves installing each and every eNodeB site. Since the sites

are spread over a large area, the personnel in charge of the

installation cannot always be technical experts. Most of the time,

site installation is performed by subcontractors with only minimal

training on the system being deployed.

Therefore, the commissioning of each eNodeB must be as

simple as possible for the on-site technician. It should be limited

to installation and cabling of the eNodeB HW, with as few

actions as possible. The rest of the configuration must be

feasible remotely, from the XMS.

Ultimately, the eNodeB should be plug and play: cable it and

power it on, then leave the site. No usage of local terminal

should be mandatory.

Additionally on the element manaqement side, it shall be possible

to provision the full configuration of the eNodeB before it is

installed and connected to network. Then, when the eNodeB

comes up, the whole setup must be applied automatically so that

the eNodeB comes online as soon as possible.

Self configuration of eNB will be completed in phases. This

feature is Phase 1 will and will include automatic establishment

of connection between the eNB and element management

system and automatic remote provisioning of the logical

configuration but the HW configuration must be manually

provisioned on site by the technician. Phase 2 will be in a later

release and will automatic software upgrade provide and

automatic remote provisioning of the HW configuration.

RRC release and redirection. RRC release/redirect provides a

network based mobility control for a RRC-connected UE when

PS handover or NACC procedure are not supported by the UE

and the network. Redirection capability allows the eNB to for the

UE to perform a cell reselection to a target cell based on target

cell measurement or configuration when LTE radio condition has

degraded below a pre-defined threshold, and the GSM neighbor

cells is better than a threshold if UE can support GSM neighbor

cell measurement without measurement GAP. Comparing to

AIR INTERFACE L84816 128699 LA2.0 Support group hopping for PUCCH

and PUSCH

Standard allows group hopping (applies to both PUCCH and

PUSCH) and sequence hopping (applies to PUSCH only). The

group and sequence hopping allows auto-configuration of root

sequence (CAZAC) and the base sequence within the sequence

group for each cell such that the UEs within each cell can be

orthogonal to each other and UEs served by neighboring cells

will also be using different cyclic shift + root sequence. Hopping

can reduce cross-correlation and interference between UEs

from different cells. Without group hopping, each cell is assigned

with a fixed root sequence and careful planning of the root

sequence is needed. Since there are only 30 groups, when

group hopping is disabled, it is possible to have root sequence

overlapping with neighboring cells (note a LTE cell is the

coverage area of the broadcast channel. So one sector is a cell)

PRACH processing due to the round trip delay which skews the

RACH preamble arrival time at the eNB. The eNB must adjust

the center of its search window so that the search window range

of the eNB can be used fully for cell range. In addition, there

may be other digital delay within the eNB and/or other external

delay beyond the radio due to DAS (Distributed Antenna

System) fiber or use of repeaters. The external delay can also

be accounted for in this feature as long as the total delay of ALU

equipment and external delay is within the compensation range.

Common Base

OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS L115218 128235 LA5.0 Support for eNB Software Patching 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 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.
