1 Introduction
This document provides the list of feature descriptions for the LTE Radio Access Network Release. Hardware (HW) requirements indicate if the feature requires specific HW from the RAN LTE portfolio. If the feature has no specific hardware requirements, it means that only LTE System Module should be used. The subchapter Interdependencies between features lists only dependencies among Nokia RAN LTE features.2 Activating and deactivating LTE features
using BTS Site Manager
Purpose
Follow this general BTS Site Manager (BTSSM) procedure to activate or deactivate LTE features.
Before you start
The eNB must already be commissioned. The BTS Site Manager can be connected to the eNB either locally, or from a remote location. For information on feature-specific prerequisites, see section Before you start of every feature-specific procedure.
Steps
1 Start the BTSSM application and establish the connection to the eNB.
For details, see Launching BTS Site Manager in Commissioning Flexi Multiradio BTS LTE or the BTSSM online help (section Instructions).
2 Upload the configuration plan file from the eNB.
When the BTSSM is connected to the eNB, it automatically uploads the current configuration plan file from the eNB. a) Select View ► Commissioning or click Commissioning on the View bar. b) The BTS Site checkbox, located in the Target section, is selected by default. This is the recommended setting. c) Choose the commissioning type. Use the Template, Manual, or Reconfiguration option depending on the actual state of the eNB. For details, see Manual commissioning, Performing template commissioning, and Performing reconfiguration commissioning in Commissioning Flexi Multiradio BTS LTE.
3 Modify the feature-specific eNB configuration settings.
The feature-related settings are found in the set of Commissioning pages. In the top right-hand corner of the BTSSM window, there is a location bar that shows at which stage of the Commissioning process the user is. It is recommended that the user carefully reads the pages containing full eNB configuration information.
4 Send the commissioning plan file to the eNB. Sub-steps
a) Go to the Send Parameters page.

3.1 LTE64: Service-based Handover Thresholds
3.1.1 Description of LTE64: Service-based Handover Thresholds
Introduction to the featureThe LTE64: Service-based Handover Thresholds feature introduces dedicated handover (HO) thresholds that are used when a UE has a QCI1 bearer active. Benefits End-user benefits Better radio frequency coverage for VoLTE users is ensured. VoLTE users can be handed over either earlier or later than data-only users. Operator benefits This feature provides: • different points of activation/deactivation of inter-frequency/inter-RAT measurements (A1/A2 event) • different points of triggering of the inter-frequency/inter-RAT handover (A3/A5/B2 event) Requirements

This feature requires no new or additional hardware. Functional description The operator can configure dedicated thresholds for a UE that has a QCI1 bearer (VoLTE call) established. Table 2: New dedicated thresholds introduced with the LTE64: Service-based Handover Thresholds feature shows which of the new measurements are active in particular handovers.
Table 2 New dedicated thresholds introduced with the LTE64: Service-based Handover Thresholds feature
HO Measurement type New dedicated threshold for
HO measurement inter-frequency intra-LTE A1 to stop inter-frequency HO measurements A2 to start inter-frequency HO measurements A3 for inter-frequency HO measurements (better cell) A5 for inter-frequency HO measurements (coverage) A1_QCI1 A2_QCI1_IF A3_QCI1_IF A5_QCI1_IF SRVCC LTE to WCDMA A1 to stop SRVCC measurements B2 for SRVCC measurements A1_QCI1 B2_QCI1_WCDMA SRVCC LTE to GERAN A1 to stop SRVCC measurements B2 for SRVCC measurements A1_QCI1 B2_QCI1_GERAN SRVCC LTE to 1xRTT A1 to stop SRVCC measurements A2 to start SRVCC measurements A1_QCI1 A2_QCI1_C2K For other dedicated HO thresholds, see the LTE2112: Dedicated Mobility Thresholds for SRVCC, LTE1198: RSRQ Triggered Mobility, and LTE738: SRVCC to 1xRTT/CDMA feature descriptions. The thresholds introduced with the LTE64: Service-based Handover Thresholds feature are as follows: • dedicated VoLTE A2 threshold to start LTE inter-frequency measurements • dedicated VoLTE A2 thresholds to start SRVCC to 1xRTT measurements • dedicated VoLTE A1 threshold to stop inter-frequency or SRVCC measurements • dedicated A3/A5 measurement setting per target frequency layer for inter-frequency HO • dedicated B2 measurement (GSM, UTRAN) setting per target frequency layer The A1/A2/A3/A5/B2 measurement configurations are updated with the establishment/removal of a QCI1 bearer. The usage of separate QCI1 thresholds is optional. This means that if the LTE64: Service-based Handover Thresholds feature is activated, and a value for a threshold for QCI1 is given, then this threshold will be used. If no such separate threshold is given, then a legacy threshold is used instead. The operator is free to use the separate QCI1 thresholds for each threshold which is supported. Upon the establishment of a QCI1 bearer, all thresholds are exchanged by the configured QCI1 values. The eNB always stores the last reported RSRP value of the UE and uses this at the QCI1 establishment/release to select (and configure) the correct
thresholds. This is done as thresholds may have to be changed and, therefore, another set of configured thresholds might be needed based on the last reported RSRP value (which is stored in the eNB).
Disabling A2-based redirect for VoLTE calls
The LTE64: Service-based Handover Thresholds feature introduces an O&M parameter to disable an A2-based redirect when a UE has a QCI1 bearer established. When this parameter is set to disabled, and the first QCI1 bearer is established for the UE, both RSRP- and RSRQ-based A2-redirect measurements (if configured) will be either deactivated or not activated. The measurements will be re-activated when the UE has no longer any QCI1 bearer. When this parameter is set to enabled, then the A2-based redirect configuration will not change in case of a QCI1 bearer establishment/release. Disabling the A2-based redirect when a UE has a QCI1 bearer is not controlled by the LTE64: Service-based Handover Thresholds feature flag. This feature flag controls the usage of dedicated thresholds only. System impact
Interdependencies between features
• LTE2112: Dedicated Mobility Thresholds for SRVCC
The actServBasedMobThr feature flag is shared by the LTE64: Service-based Handover Thresholds and LTE2112: Dedicated Mobility Thresholds for SRVCC features. • LTE10: EPS Bearers for Conversational Voice This feature implements support for a QCI1 bearer and is required for the support of VoLTE calls. • LTE55: Inter-frequency Handover The new A2/A3/A5 thresholds for an inter-frequency HO are used only if this feature is enabled. • LTE56: Inter-RAT Handover to WCDMA SRVCC to WCDMA can be used only if this feature is enabled. • LTE1060: TDD - FDD Handover This feature needs to be enabled together with the LTE64: Service-based Handover Thresholds feature if an FDD-TDD handover is needed for VoLTE calls. • LTE1198: RSRQ Triggered Mobility When the A2-RSRQ mobility event is received, if the O&M flag for A2-redirect for QCI1 is disabled, and a UE has a QCI1 bearer, the A2-RSRQ-redirect measurement will not be activated. • LTE423: RRC Connection Release with Redirect If the O&M flag for A2-redirect for QCI1 is disabled, and a UE has a QCI1 bearer, the A2-RSRP measurement for redirection will not be activated. • LTE1407: RSRQ-based Redirect If the O&M flag for A2-redirect for QCI1 is disabled, and a UE has a QCI1 bearer, the A2-RSRQ measurement for redirection will not be activated. Impact on interfaces This feature has no impact on interfaces. Impact on network management tools
Impact on system performance and capacity The LTE64: Service-based Handover Thresholds feature improves SRVCC and VoLTE call drop rate by decreasing VoLTE coverage via earlier start of inter-frequency and inter-RAT measurements and specific HO thresholds for VoLTE leading to earlier handovers. This depends on how the HO thresholds are set. Management data Alarms There are no alarms related to this feature. Measurements and counters
