5.1.1.3 Functional description

Functional overview

This feature enables faster data transfer for interactive applications and background traffic by reducing delay in data handling, and push end to end HSPA RTT delay for a 32 Byte Ping to be comparable with LTE delay.

Improvement in Round Trip Time (RTT) is achieved by reducing the delay components in the data path between the network and UE. The feature focus to reduce RNC Delay in HS(D)PA Downlink data path by using data arrival event to schedule data towards BTS in Iub. The data event trigger enables reduction of RTT, which further improves the response times for interactive services and faster data transfer for background traffic, thereby enhancing the user experience.

Activation

Introduction to the feature

RAN3017: Additional 6 WCDMA Cell Activation license key increases the number of

supported cells in the BTS configuration. Step size of one license key is 6 cells. In RU50 the number of cells can be up to 18.

6.1.1.1 Benefits

End-user benefits

This feature does not affect the end-user experience.

Operator benefits

Increasing traffic, demand for multicarrier, multiband, and multi-sector sites leads operator needs towards larger BTS site configurations, especially in hot spot areas. This feature enables to build such configurations with simple SW configuration.

6.1.2 Activating RAN3017: Additional 6 WCDMA Cell Activation

Purpose

Follow the procedure below to activate the RAN3017: Additional 6 WCDMA Cell

Activation.

Before you start

Make sure you have access to the BTS Site Manager.

g

Note that this feature is under license control. This feature requires a valid license file. The feature code is 0000005171. See

WCDMA RAN License Operation document for details.

1 Start the WCDMA BTS Site Manager application and establish the connection to the BTS.

Flexi Multiradio BTS WCDMA can autonomously request for missing license file(s) from NetAct Licence Manager during feature activation (RAN2131: Automatic

Licence Distribution to Flexi BTS).

Make sure that you have selected Automatic licensing in use checkbox in the Automatic License Distribution Settings page.

g

If RAN2131: Automatic Licence Distribution to Flexi BTS is not activated, relevant license must be uploaded manually.

2 Upload the configuration plan file from the BTS.

When BTS Site Manager is connected to the BTS, it automatically uploads the current configuration plan file from the BTS.

3 Activate RAN3017: Additional 6 WCDMA Cell Activation feature.

Go to Local Cell Resources page and select the Extended BTS site capacity enabled checkbox.

4 Send the commissioning plan file to the BTS. Click Send Parameters button.

You might save the parameters at this point.

5 The new commissioning plan file is automatically activated in the BTS.

BTS Site Manager automatically sends an activation command after finishing the file download.

6 Select Next to complete the commissioning. You can save the commissioning report, if required.

7 Backup commissioning files (if applicable). Select File ► Backup commissioning files

Save the complete backup commissioning file for further use. Result

The feature RAN3017: Additional 6 WCDMA Cell Activation is activated.

6.1.3 Verifying RAN3017: Additional 6 WCDMA Cell Activation

Purpose

Follow steps below to verify that the activation of the RAN3017: Additional 6 WCDMA
