Introduction

Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS Baseband
Introduction
This dimensioning guideline is focused on Flexi Multiradio System Module
Rel.3 (FSMF) and Flexi Multimode System Module Rel.2 (FSMC/D/E)
dimensioning in RU50 and RU50 EP1.
The RU50 Main release supports FSMF with RU40 SW level. In this case,
refer to the RU40 version of Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS
Baseband.
Chapters 2-10 cover the basic part of this document that corresponds to Flexi
System Module Baseband dimensioning. These chapters describe the basic
dimensioning rules needed in most typical cases:
 Common Control Channel (CCCH) dimensioning with 1-4 Local Cell
Groups
 2-Way/4-Way RX Diversity (Div)
 10km/20km cell range
 Rel.99
 HSDPA
 HSUPA
 Parallel Interference Cancellation (PIC)
 DC-HSDPA and DB-HSDPA
 Local Cell Grouping
For your convenience, the HSUPA Dimensioning tables are found at the end
of the document (Chapter 24).
Chapters 11-23 cover Flexi System advanced information and additional
aspects that originate from Chapters 2-10. These chapters describe advanced
dimensioning rules, for example:
 extended cell (>20km cell range) CCCH dimensioning
 CCCH dimensioning for other than 10/20 km cell range
 HSDPA throughput allocation in case of HSDPA throughput steps are not
commissioned

Feature highlights and HW dependence

Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS Baseband
Feature highlights and HW dependence
2.1
RU50
The RU50 main release brings the following new features:
RAN2179: Dual Band HSDPA 42Mbps
This feature makes it viable to use Dual Cell HSDPA with two carriers
originating from different frequency bands (for example 2100MHz + 900 MHz).
It is especially beneficial when no contiguous 10 MHz excerpt of spectrum is
available. The RAN2179: Dual Band HSDPA 42Mbps feature allows doubling
the user throughput compared to a single carrier case. Moreover, better
propagation conditions provided by a lower carrier can extend cell range and
increase overall cell throughput. From baseband dimensioning point of view,
the Dual Band (DB)-HSDPA feature has the same impact as classic DCHSDPA feature.
RAN3017: Additional 6 WCDMA cells activation
The RAN3017: Additional 6 WCDMA cells activation License Key (LK) enables
increase of supported cells in BTS configuration. The RAN2736: 18 Cells BTS
License Key (LK) is replaced with the RAN3017 LK (RAN2736 is still required
to support increased number of cells per BTS).
RAN2482: Enhanced Virtual Antenna Mapping
This feature improves the performance of Virtual Antenna Mapping (VAM) by
introducing the controllable phase difference between the signals sent from
both physical antennas. The best signal quality for HSDPA is obtained by
tuning this phase difference. The Channel Quality Indicators (CQIs) of active
non-MIMO UEs in the cell are used to obtain the best phase difference.
Benefit from the feature is increased average HSDPA throughput for nonMIMO users. RAN2482: Enhanced Virtual Antenna Mapping is supported with
System Module (FSMC/D/E) and MIMO-capable Radio Modules.

Feature highlights and HW dependence
RU50 EP1
The RU50 EP1 release brings the following new features, which are
considered in BTS Baseband dimensioning:
RAN2733: Flexi Multiradio System Module extension, FSMF + FSMF
Two FSMF System Modules (Master FSMF and Extension FSMF) can be
chained to benefit from increased BTS Baseband capacity. This feature is a
Basic Software (BSW) feature and as such does not require a license. Up to
24 cells are supported. The RAN3017: Additional 6 WCDMA Cells feature is
required to support more than 12 cells. One SRIO (Serial Rapid Input Output)
link and two OBSAI links are used for System Modules chaining. The Master
FSMF must be equipped with two Capacity Extension Sub-modules FBBA. Up
to four Radio Frequency (RF) Modules can be directly connected to the
Master System Module. RF Modules Rel.2 or newer are required.
For supported configurations, see Flexi Multiradio BTS WCDMA Supported
Configurations (DN0965552) and Flexi Multiradio BTS RF Sharing Released
Configurations.
RAN1905: Dual Cell HSUPA
Dual Cell (DC) HSUPA using QPSK modulation per frequency carrier enables
UE peak data rates of up to 11.5Mbps. The feature combines two contiguous
carriers in uplink that correspond to DC-HSDPA carriers. A better user
experience is seen in the whole cell area because of data rate balancing
across both UL carriers according to channel conditions. UE data rate gain of
up to 100% for non-power limited UEs.
RAN2250: Enhanced HSUPA Intereference Cancellation
The RAN2250: Enhanced HSUPA Interference Cancellation feature, on top of
the RAN1308: HSUPA Interference Cancellation Receiver, increases cell
HSUPA throughput by up to 45%. The gain is achieved by increasing signalto-noise ratio for a high data rate 2 ms HSUPA user while keeping the noise
rise within the planned limits. Cell throughput or the peak data rate of NRT
users mapped on the E-DCH transport channel with 2 ms TTI is increased.
The Enhanced HSUPA IC feature does not impact Baseband dimensioning as
such. RAN1308 is a prerequisite for RAN2250 activation.
RAN3010: 24 cell support with Flexi FSMF + FSMD/E System Modules
This is a BSW (Basic SW) feature, and as such, does not require a License
Key. The RAN3017: Additional 6 WCDMA Cells feature is required to support
more than 12 cells. The RAN3010 feature increases the number of supported
cells to up to 24 2-Way RX Div cells or up to 12 4-Way RX Div cells per BTS.
The BTS consists of FSMF (Master System Module) chained with FSMD or
FSME. Two OBSAI links are used for System Module chaining. The FSMF is
equipped with 0-2 Capacity Extension Sub-modules FBBA. Up to three Radio
Frequency (RF) Modules can be directly connected to the Master System
Module:

Flexi WCDMA BTS
Flexi WCDMA BTS
Flexi Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) Base Transceiver
Station (BTS) is a truly modular, very compact, and high capacity wide-area
BTS that can be used in various indoor and outdoor installation options (such
as floor, wall, stand, pole, mast, cabinet, 19" rack) and site applications (mini,
macro, and distributed site solution).
This solution can also be used as a multimode upgrade to existing UltraSite
EDGE BTS with WCDMA carriers.
Flexi WCDMA BTS consists of the following self-supporting BTS modules:

Radio Module provides the Radio Frequency (RF) functionality. A maximum
of three RF Modules can be directly connected to the Master System
Module.

System Module provides baseband capacity for processing as well as
control and transmission functionality.
System Module capacity depends on the System Module type. For more
details, see Chapter 4. The number of activated Rel.99 CE, HSUPA, HSDPA,
and CCCH Processing Set License Keys (LK) can be increased by license
control.
To extend Flexi WCDMA BTS baseband capacity, two System Modules are
interconnected. In this case, Flexi System Extension Kit cable set (FSKA) is
required. A System Module which provides synchronization is a Master
System Module. A capacity extension System Module is an Extension System
Module.

System Module baseband capacity available for traffic might be further
impacted by the following:

Additional CCCH recourses (Chapter 5.2.1)

Local Cell Group HSPA settings (Chapter 7.1)

HSDPA Subunits (Chapter 9.1.1)

Number of activated Interference Cancellation units (PIC pools) (Chapter

The available baseband capacity (Subunits) for traffic usage after activation of
HSDPA, PIC, after allocation of Static HSUPA or additional CCCH resources
can be calculated using the formula below:
Number_of available_subunits = (number_of_subunits –
HSDPA_subunits – subunits_for_PIC_pool – subunits_for_static_HSUPA
- subunits_for_additional_CCCH- subunits_for_HS_FACH)
Equation 1 Number of available Subunits
where:
Number_of_available_subunits - number of Subunits available in System
Module from Table 3
HSDPA_subunits - number of HSDPA Subunits (Chapter 9.1.1)
subunits_for_PIC_pool - number of commissioned Interference
Cancellation Subunits (Chapter 10.6.1);
subunits_for_static_HSUPA - number of HSUPA static commissioned
Subunits (Chapter 20)
subunits_for_additional_CCCH - number of additional Subunits allocated
for additional CCCH processing (CCCH pools) (Chapter 5.2.1)
subunits_for_HS_FACH - number of Subunits statically allocated for HSFACH users (Chapter 10.6.2)
Note that available Subunits are used for traffic processing after they are
licensed with Rel.99 CE, HSUPA, HSDPA, and CCCH Processing Set License
Keys.
Available Subunits (Pure traffic subunits, see Figure 6) can be used for R99

CCCH resources in System Module
 The System Module processes Common Control Channels for basic
configurations without any additional baseband resources or CCCH PS
LKs. In this case, CCCH resources for processing of CCCH are included in
System Module HW capacity.
 One pool of CCCH resources (CCCH pool) is included in every System
Module HW capacity in BTS configuration.

Other numbers of cells per CCCH pool are also supported. See Chapter 11 for
more details.
The following is a list of typical basic configurations that are served with one
CCCH pool included in System Modules HW capacity and do not require any
additional resources for CCCH processing.

1 x System Module: 3 cells/20 km 2-Way-Rx Div



2 x System Module: 12 cells/10 km 2-Way-Rx Div
Other basic configurations are also served with CCCH resources included in
the System Module HW capacity. For details, see Chapter 11 CCCH
dimensioning details.
Whenever CCCH resources included in System Modules’ HW capacity are not
enough, additional CCCH resources included in HSDPA Subunits are used
(valid for FSMF only, see Chapter 5.2.1 for details) or additional CCCH

 One CCCH pool is included in FSMC/D/E System Module capacity.
 Additional CCCH pools are allocated whenever it is required (and
Baseband capacity is available). See Chapter 11 CCCH dimensioning
details.
 One additional CCCH pool consumes 48 Rel.99 CE LKs (1 SU).
5.3
CCCH Resources allocation
 CCCH resources are Local-Cell-Group-specific.
 Each LCG must have CCCH resources (CCCH pool(s)) for cells that are
mapped to a particular LCG.
 CCCH resources included in the BTS HW are not connected with a
particular System Module. For example, in case of a BTS with two System
Modules, CCCH resources included in HW from both System Modules
might be allocated on one System Module, depending on Local Cell Group
allocation.
In cases of:
 2x System Modules Rel.2 and 1x LCG
 2x System Modules Rel.2 and 2x LCG where LCG is shared on both
System Modules
CCCH resources (CCCH included in System Module Rel.2 HW capacity and
additional CCCH) for particular cells are allocated on particular System
Module depending on HSDPA commissioning. In other words, CCCH

5.3.2 Two System Modules Rel.2 one LCG and HSPA mapping to HW
If some frequency layer is mapped to a System Module with the Mapping
HSPA Cell to HW parameter, then the selected System Module has to
provide CCCH resources.
For example:
Flexi WCDMA BTS 3+3+3 /20km, FSME+FSMD;
Frequency layers #1 and #2 are mapped to FSME (2+2+2): 3 cells are
served with CCCH resources included in HW; another 3 cells require 48
Rel.99 CE LKs for CCCH processing.
Frequency layer #3 is mapped to FSMD (1+1+1): cells are served with
CCCH resources included in HW capacity and additional CCCH resources
are not required (0 Rel.99 CE LKs).
For more details, see Chapter 18 HSPA frequency mapping.
5.3.3 Two System Modules Rel.2 and two LCGs, where one LCG is
shared on both System Modules
CCCH are allocated on particular System Module depending on HSDPA
commissioning:
a)HSDPA activated on both System Modules
CCCH resources of a LCG are allocated on both System Modules
b)HSDPA activated on one System Module

CCCH resources of an LCG are allocated on System Module where LCG
has more resources. If LCG has the same number of resources in both
System Modules, then CCCH resources are allocated to Master System
Module.
5.3.4 Two System Modules (FSMF+FSMD/E) and more than one LCG,
where none of the LCGs is shared between System Modules
A BTS with two System Modules has two CCCH pools included in HW
capacity:

One pool is allocated to LCG on FSMD/E

One pool is allocated to FSMF System Module to LCG with lower
LCG ID (LCG ID#1 is lower than LCG ID#2 and so on)
Figure 7 presents allocation of CCCH pools included in HW price in case of
FSMF + FSMD, example with three LCGs..
Figure 7 CCCH pools allocation in case of FSMF+FSMD and more than two
LCGs (example)
5.3.5 Two System Modules (FSMF+FSMF) and more than one LCG
Both CCCH pools included in FSMF+FSMF HW capacity are assigned to
LCG#1 and LCG#2 (one CCCH pool per LCG). LCG#3 and LCG#4 require
CCCH PS LKs.
In case there is only one LCG configured both CCCH pools included in HW
are assigned to LCG#1.

Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS Baseband
Capacity licenses
Flexi WCDMA BTS licensed capacity is the baseband processing capacity that
the operator has purchased. The licensed Baseband capacity can be less or
equal to the available HW capacity.
Flexi WCDMA BTS baseband capacity is allocated according to the capacity
license file. Because the ATM Cross-Connection (AXC) and the BTS exist in
high volumes in the network, Nokia does not generate licenses for these
network elements directly (NE licenses), but so-called pool licenses are used.
This means that the user gets the license to use a dedicated amount of
features or capacity (pool license) and it is up to the user to determine how
these NE licenses are distributed toward the network elements.
As an example, the operator buys a pool license for 10 000 Rel.99 CE for
BTSs. The operator gets a pool license file that allows use of this capacity.
With this pool license and the help of the license management tools in NetAct,
one can distribute the capacity according to the capacity needs. For example:
120 Rel.99 CE for BTS-1, 70 Rel.99 CE for BTS-2, and so on. For this
purpose, NetAct generates the appropriate license files and downloads them
to the network elements.
The following capacity License Keys (LKs) are available:

For more specific information on licensing, see Licenses Management in
WCDMA RAN (DN70132411).
All licenses (including Rel.99 CE licenses) are activated for a 14-day trial
period if they are to be used for the first time because of BTS commissioning.
6.1
Rel.99 CE License Keys
Rel.99 CE LKs define the maximum capacity for Rel.99 traffic.
HSDPA/HSUPA schedulers do not consume Rel.99 CE LKs.
The number of required Rel.99 CE LKs in a System Module is calculated
according to the following formula:
#Rel99CE = Max { UL_Rel99CE; DL_Rel99CE }
Equation 4 Number of required Rel.99 CE licenses
where:
#Rel99CE – total number of required Rel.99 CE licenses;
UL_Rel99CE – total number of required Rel.99 CEs in UL channels;
DL_Rel99CE – total number of required Rel.99 CEs in DL channels;
Rel.99 CE consumption in UL and DL channels depends on the DCH radio
bearer. For details, see Chapter 8 DCH Dedicated channels dimensioning and
Chapter 9.5 Associated UL/DL DCH.
______________________________________________________________________
NOTE
License files available in the BTS are limited with commissioned licenses. For
example, if 1000 Rel.99 CE license files are available in the BTS, while
commissioned numberOfR99ChannelElements is set to 900, then the BTS
only uses 900 Rel.99 CE licenses.

Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS Baseband
HSDPA Processing Set License Key
HSDPA BTS Processing Set License Key LK (License Key) is the capacity
reservation in the System Module that allows for a certain DL throughput and
enables admitting the HSDPA users.
In case of absence of HSUPA UL return channel, HSDPA user requires Rel.99
CE for UL DCH return channel (A-DCH, or Associated-DCH) processing. For
details, see Chapter 9.5 Associated UL/DL DCH.
HSDPA BTS Processing Set LK does not directly increase the capacity for
maximum user number and throughput. Separate ASW (Application Software)
LKs for peak throughput (for example RAN1643: HSDPA 64QAM) and user
number (for example RAN2124: HSPA 128 users per cell) might be required.
HSDPA BTS Processing Set LKs are as follows:

HSDPA BTS Processing Set 1: 32 users and 7.2Mbps

HSDPA BTS Processing Set 2: 72 users and 21Mbps

HSDPA BTS Processing Set 3: 72 users and 84Mbps
6.2.1 Multi RAB user
A Multi RAB user which has more than one HSDPA RAB is counted as one
user from HSDPA Processing Set license point of view. For example, 32 Multi
RAB users, each having two HSDPA RABs, can be enabled by one HSDPA
Processing Set 1 LK.
6.2.2 HS CELL_FACH DL user
In RU50EP1 RAN1637: HS CELL_FACH DL user is not licensed. However in
future WCDMA releases, HS CELL_FACH DL user will be licensed.
6.2.3 HS CELL_FACH user
In RU50EP1 RAN1913: HS CELL_FACH user is not licensed. However in
future WCDMA releases, HS CELL_FACH user will be licensed.
6.3
HSUPA Processing Set License Key
HSUPA BTS Processing Set LK (License Key) is a HSUPA capacity
reservation in System Module that enables simultaneous allocation of 24
DN981084

Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS Baseband
Capacity licenses
HSUPA users and 5.8 Mbps UL throughput. HSUPA users are data users
(16QAM and non-16QAM) and CS-Voice over HSPA users.
One HSUPA user consumes one user license from HSUPA Processing Set LK
and also one user license from HSDPA Processing set LK.With x number of
available HSUPA licenses, the HSUPA baseband reservation inside System
Module is able to fulfill the simultaneous x * 5.8Mbps and x * 24 users
requirement.
No more than 15 Subunits are allocated for HSUPA per single FSMC/D/E and
16.875 Subunits per FSMF.
HSUPA baseband reservation is dynamic and depends on the actual total
HSUPA throughput and actual total number of HSUPA users in HSUPA
scheduler.
6.3.1 Multi RAB user
A Multi RAB user which has more than one HSUPA RAB (Radio Access
Bearer) is counted as one user from HSUPA BTS Processing Set LK point of
view. For example, 24 Multi RAB users, each having two HSUPA RABs,
consume one HSUPA Processing Set LK from licensed user point of view.
6.3.2 HS CELL_FACH user
In RU50EP1 RAN1913: HS CELL_FACH user is not licensed. However in
future WCDMA releases, HS CELL_FACH user will be licensed.
6.4
CCCH Processing Set License Key
CCCH PS LK is applicable for BTS with FSMF System Module in
configuration. CCCH PS LK is used to enable additional Baseband resources
(so called CCCH pools) for CCCH processing. CCCH PS LK is required in
case when CCCH resources included in System Module capacity are not
enough to process CCCH of a cell in System Module. For more details on
CCCH resources, see Chapter 5.2.1
In case of FSMF+FSMF or FSMF+FSMD/E and CCCH resources included
System Modules HW capacity are not sufficient, CCCH PS LKs are required.

Local Cell Grouping on BTS Site Commissioning
The operator can define Local Cell Groups in one of two different ways:
1) Flexible BB allocation/Fixed BB HW Rel.1 allocation
2) Fixed BB allocation
Option 1) Flexible BB allocation is applied to following BTS configurations
with 3-sector RF Modules:

one or two System Modules FSMC/D/E

one or two System Modules FSMF
Supports free adjustment of the Access Baseband Capacity parameter
for up to four LCGs. Whole carriers can be mapped to LCGs or carriers can be
split between LCGs freely (free mapping of cells to LCGs).
Flexible BB allocation supports:
 up to 18 cells with single FSMF and RF modules Rel.2 or newer
 up to 24 cells with FSMF + FSMF and RF modules Rel.2 or newer
In both above cases, the RAN3017: Additional 6 cells feature is required to
support more than 12 cells per BTS.
Fixed BB HW Rel.1 allocation is applicable to BTS configurations with Rel.1
RF Module. In this case, LCGs are fixed (based on whole System Module

Modules). Cells can be freely mapped to LCGs in case of two System
Modules and RF Rel.1.
Option 2) Fixed BB allocation is applicable to following BTS configurations
with 3-sector RF Modules:
a) FSMC/D/E + FSMC/D/E
b) FSMF + FSMF
c) FSMF + FSMD/E
In a) and b) two LCGs are required. LCG capacity is based on System Module
capacity: one LCG per one System Module. The Access Baseband
Capacity parameter cannot be used. Cells can be freely mapped to LCGs.
Mapping of LCG to System Module is supported with the sModId parameter
– see the following example.
For example:
 Fixed BB allocation selected on BTS Site commissioning,
BTS: FSME + FSMD, two LCGs created (LCG#1: six cells, LCG#2:
nine cells)
To map LCG#2 to Master System Module (FSME) and LCG#1 to
Extension System Module (FSMD), parameter sModId=1 for LCG#2
and sModId=2 for LCG#1 is configured.
In case of c) (FSMF + FSMD/E) 1-4 LCGs are supported:
-
1-3 LCGs are supported on FSMF
-
One LCG is required for FSMD/E
To flexibly adjust FSMF baseband capacity per every LCG, the Access
Baseband Capacity parameter can be used. Access Baseband
Capacity cannot be used for FSMD/E. To map the LCG to a respective
System Module, the sModId parameter can be used for every LCG in BTS
configuration.
Fixed BB allocation supports:

up to 24 cells 2-Way RX Div with FSMF + FSMF (RAN3017: Additional 6
cells up to two LKs required)

up to 24 cells 2-Way RX Div with FSMF + FSMD/E (RAN3010: 24 cell
support with Flexi FSMF + FSMD/E System Modules, RAN3017
Additional 6 cells up to two LKs required)

up to 18 cells 2-Way RX Div with two FSMC/D/E System Modules
(RAN3017 Additional 6 cells LK required)

System
FSMF+FSMF:

supported with up to four LCGs

one LCG can be shared between System Modules

shared LCG has PIC Subunits on Master System Module only

Extension System Module supports up to 15 cells in total from all LCGs
having access to Extension System Module. In other words, all the
cells from shared LCG are counted to the number of cells processed
on Extension System Module.
BTS internal algorithms take care for optimal allocation of LCGs on System
Modules capacity. Operator needs only to define the share of BTS Baseband
capacity per LCG (accessBBcapacity). When HSxPA schedulers are
enabled per LCG, then whole LCG Baseband available capacity is available
for HSPA processing within LCG.
FSMF + FSMD/E:
 supported with up to four LCGs
 None of the LCGs can be shared bewteen System Modules.
 One LCG is required for FSMD/E.
 FSMF supports 1-3 LCGs.
 Flexible
adjustment of FSMF baseband capacity per LCG is
supportedon FSMF.
 Mapping of LCGs to a particular System Module is supported (see
Chapter 7.4 for more information).
FSMC/D/E:
In case of BTS with RF Modules Rel.2 or newer and two Rel.2 System
Modules (FSMC/D/E), up to four LCGs can be created. In this case, the BTS
attempts to allocate the capacity of the whole LCG to the capacity of the whole
System Module. Therefore, the LCG with the biggest amount of resources is
allocated to the System Module that has bigger capacity (FSME has bigger
capacity as FSMD and FSMD has bigger capacity than FSMC). The LCG
which has the next biggest amount of resources is allocated to the System
Module with the next biggest capacity. This is repeated for all remaining
LCGs. For more information about principles of the baseband capacity
allocation to LCGs, see Chapter 13 Principles of the FSMC/D/E System
Modules baseband capacity allocation to LCGs.

Local Cell Grouping with Interference
Cancellation
For Interference Cancellation details, see Chapter 10.6.1 Enhanced HSUPA
Interference Cancellation feature dimensioning (PIC pools).
In case of RAN1308: HSUPA Interference Cancellation Receiver, LCGs are
created according to the following rules:
1) Flexi WCDMA BTS with single FSMF System Module; up to four LCGs can
be created
2) Flexi WCDMA BTS with FSMF + FSMF; up to four LCGs can be created.
One LCG can be shared between Master and Extension System Modules.
PIC Subunits from shared LCG are allocated on Master System Module.
3) Flexi WCDMA BTS with FSMF + FSMD/E; up to four LCGs can be created.
4) Flexi WCDMA BTS with one FSMC/D/E System Module; a maximum of
one LCG can be created.
5) Flexi WCDMA BTS with two FSMC/D/E System Modules; up to two LCGs
can be created.
For example:
 FSMD + FSME / 3+3+3 (9 cells)
 LCG1: Access Baseband Capacity = 80%, 6 cells, Interference

Dedicated Baseband Capacity
In case of Local Cell Grouping in use, it is possible to dedicate pools of Rel.99
CE License Keys (LKs) for respective LCGs. To dedicate pools of Rel.99 CE
LKs to LCGs, the Dedicated BaseBand capacity optional parameter is
used on BTS Site Commissioning. It is possible to guarantee, for example,
20% of LKs to LCG#1 and 20% of LKs to LCG#2, and then 60% of LKs are
shared by both LCGs (60% of Rel.99 CEs are in common LK pool).
It is possible to use dedicated Rel.99 CE licensed capacity in the single
operator case (if more than one LCG is available), for example, if the operator
wants to prioritize traffic from certain carrier(s) (LCG).
For example:
a) A site with two carriers (2+2+2) is shared by two operators (operator #1
- 1+1+1, operator #2 – 1+1+1). The site configuration is:

FSMD + FSMD (2 LCG), 500 Rel.99 CE LKs
b) A site with three carriers (3+3+3) is shared by two operators (operator
#1 - 1+1+1, operator #2 – 2+2+2).

FSME (2LCG) 500 Rel.99 CE LKs
For both cases, both operators agreed to share Rel.99 CE LKs 20% to LCG#1
and 40% to LCG#2 as the dedicated capacity and the rest (40%) as common
capacity.

DCH Dedicated channels dimensioning
DCH Dedicated channels dimensioning
For baseband dimensioning purposes, a certain number of Rel.99 CE per
active DCH user is required. Baseband resources are required per DCH active
user in “no handover” state and per DCH user in “soft handover” state.
Additional baseband resources are not required either for users in softer
handover state or compressed mode.

Table 13 Baseband resources required per one Rel.99 traffic channel
(FSMC/D/E or FSMF System Module)
Asymmetric UL/DL Rel.99 CE allocation
Asymmetric UL/DL allocation means that the UL and DL directions have
different bit rate requirements. The rule for allocating resources for asymmetric
bit rates is based on a higher data rate requirement, but Rel.99 CE
reservations are done separately for UL/DL. For example, if the UL bearer is
64 kbps and the DL bearer 384 kbps, the Rel.99 CE reservation is 4 Rel.99
CE in UL and 8 Rel.99 CE in DL.
UL and DL resources have to be allocated inside one Subunit but there is no
direct connection between UL and DL resource allocation. In other words, UL
and DL resources do not need to be allocated symmetrically across Subunit
UL and DL capacity.

HSDPA scheduler
HSDPA scheduler provides high throughput capability. From baseband
perspective, achievable HSDPA throughput further depends on activated
features (for example RAN2179: Dual Band HSDPA 42Mbps), available
HSDPA BTS Processing Set LKs, and HSDPA throughput commissioning.
HSDPA scheduler provides high number of users capability. Achievable
number of active HSDPA users further depends on the activated features
(RAN2124: HSPA 128 Users Per Cell) and available HSDPA BTS Processing
Set LKs.
HSDPA scheduler does not consume any Rel.99 CE LKs.
HSDPA scheduler supports 64QAM, MIMO, DC-HSDPA, and DB-HSDPA
features.

9.1.2 HSDPA scheduler in FSMC/D/E
 Flexi System Module supports one type of HSDPA scheduler.
 Up to two HSDPA schedulers can be activated per single System Module.
 Up to four HSDPA schedulers can be activated per single Flexi WCDMA
BTS with two System Modules.
 HSDPA scheduler supports up to six cells.
 HSDPA scheduler(s) supports cells from different LCGs that cover BB
capacity from System Module with activated HSDPA scheduler. In other
words, HSDPA traffic from particular cells is supported only on System
Module where the HSDPA scheduler(s) processing those cells exists.
Upon HSDPA activation, up to two HSPDA schedulers are activated and
certain HSDPA throughput capability is available in System Module. The
HSDPA activation has an impact on available System Module Baseband
capacity and requires a certain number of Subunits that are statically allocated
for HSDPA scheduler and throughput processing only. HSDPA Subunits are
allocated based on commissioned HSDPA throughput. The more HSDPA
Mbps is commissioned, the more baseband capacity is allocated for HSDPA.
Generally speaking, HSDPA activation consumes 2.25 SU from the available
System Module baseband capacity (see Table 7) and provides up to 84Mbps
for up to six non-MIMO (VAM, E-VAM, or non-VAM, non-E-VAM / three MIMO
(VAM or E-VAM) HSPA cells per System Module. One SU is further
consumed with throughput higher than 84Mbps, for example up to 168Mbps
consumes 3.25 SU from the available System Module baseband capacity.

HSDPA users
One HSDPA scheduler has 240 scheduling units. One scheduling unit serves
one active HSDPA user.
An HSDPA user consumes the following number of scheduling units:
 One HSDPA user or one DB/DC-HSDPA or one MIMO user consumes one
scheduling unit.
 One DC-HSDPA + MIMO user consumes 1.25 scheduling unit.
 One HSDPA user in High Speed CELL_FACH state consumes one
scheduling unit.

For example:
100 HSDPA active users and 50 DC+MIMO users consume Round_up
(100*1+50*1.25) = Round_up (100+62.5) = 163 scheduling units.
Thus, additionally 240-163 = 77 scheduling units are unused allowing
for allocation of additional 77 HSDPA or MIMO users or Round_down
(77/1.25) = 61 DC+MIMO users.
End of example.
Note that in two System Modules case the associated DCH (A-DCH) and
HSDPA signaling resources are allocated inside LCG capacity at the same
System Module as HSDPA scheduler.

Table 18 System Module HSDPA scheduler details
* Max number of Active Users per HSDPA scheduler is impacted by the
number of cells of an HSDPA scheduler that are HS_FACH enabled. For
example, if HSDPA scheduler has six cells, while three of them are HS_FACH
enabled, then Max number of Active Users per HSDPA scheduler is 2403=237 (DB/DC or MIMO or legacy users). For more information, see Chapter
9.2.1 HS CELL_FACH users.
9.2.1 HS CELL_FACH users
One HSDPA user in High Speed CELL_FACH state consumes one scheduling
unit.
In addition, one scheduling unit is reserved per HS_FACH (RAN1637: HS
Cell_FACH DL required) enabled cell. In other words, each HS_FACH
enabled cell consumes one scheduling unit. Thus, HSDPA scheduler with six
cells and each cell is HS_FACH enabled has 240 – 6 = 234 scheduling units.
9.2.2 Multi RAB users
One HSDPA scheduler supports 240 Radio Bearers. For example: in case of
one Multi RAB UE with ongoing HSDPA data download and simultaneous

FSMC/D/E HSDPA users and schedulers
allocation principles
In case of Flexi WCDMA BTS and two System Modules, the following
principles apply:
1) HSDPA users from respective cells (LCGs) are supported on the System
Module where the scheduler processing respective cells (LCGs) exists
(Tcell of a cell is set accordingly, see Chapter 9.6). See the figure below.
2) If HSPA frequency layer mapping is used, HSDPA users are supported on
both System Modules. Up to four HSDPA schedulers can be activated (up
to two schedulers per one System Module, but a minimum of one
scheduler per SM needs to be activated). Principle 1) holds.
3) HSPA frequency layer mapping is supported only in case of Flexi WCDMA
BTS with single LCG.
4) In case of Flexi WCDMA BTS with single LCG and HSPA frequency layer
mapping is not used, HSDPA users are supported on one of the two
System Modules. Up to two HSDPA schedulers can be used per one
System Module and also per Flexi WCDMA BTS. Principle 1) holds.
5) If more than one LCG is created and at least one HSDPA scheduler per
System Module is activated, then HSDPA users are supported on both
System Modules. Up to four HSDPA schedulers can be activated (two
schedulers per one System Module. Principle 1) holds.
For details on HSDPA resource allocation, see Chapter 16 FSMC/D/E HSDPA
resource allocation details.
For details on HSPA Frequency mapping, see Chapter 18 HSPA frequency
mapping.

HSDPA Rel.99 CE consumption for A-DCH and DL
SRB
An HSDPA active user consumes Rel.99 CEs for DL SRB processing and for
UL DCH return channel processing (Associated DCH, A-DCH).
SRB and A-DCH Rel.99 CEs for traffic from respective cells are allocated on
the same System Module where the HSDPA scheduler that is processing
respective cells exists.
In case of HSDPA user with HSUPA UL return Channel, Rel.99 CEs are not
consumed at all.
A-DCH consumption depends on the DCH data rate. For details, see Chapter
9.5 Associated UL/DL DCH.

Tcell grouping
From HSDPA point of view, the RNC parameter Tcell (frame timing offset of a
cell) is used to indicate which cell is processed by which scheduler. Tcell
Groups 1 and 3 are handled by the first scheduler and Tcell Groups 2 and 4
are handled by the second scheduler.

Table 20 Tcell values handled by HSDPA schedulers
With one scheduler and one Tcell group, up to six cells per Tcell group are
supported. With one scheduler and two Tcell groups, up to three cells per
Tcell group are supported (up to six cells are still supported totally).
The same Tcell values can be used by different cells if those are allocated to
different frequency layers.
FSMF specific:
With Small HSPA configuration only one HSDPA scheduler (Scheduler 1) is
available in LCG and cells must be grouped with Tcell values from Group: 1
and 3.
With Normal HSPA configuration up to two HSDPA schedulers (Scheduler 1
and Scheduler 2) are available in LCG and cells must be grouped with Tcell
values from Group: 1, 2, 3 and 4.
FSMC/D/E specific:
Up to two HSDPA schedulers (Scheduler 1 and Scheduler 2) are available in
every System Module and cells must be grouped with Tcell values from
Group: 1, 2, 3 and 4.
9.6.1 DB/DC-HSDPA Tcell settings
Dual Band (DB) as well as Dual Cell (DC) HSDPA features require both cells
from one sector to have the same Tcell value. Note that with the DB or DC
feature, two cells from the same sector need to be served by one System
Module and one scheduler, and belong to the same LCG. When both cells
from the DC-HSDPA sector are in one band, those need to be from adjacent
frequencies. DB-HSDPA enables to have DC functionality with two cells from
different frequency bands.
M5000 counters indicating scheduled HSDPA users are Tcell group specific.
Tcell grouping may affect counter behavior.

supports up to six cells and is able to select up to 12 users dynamically from
cells which have users eligible for transmission in the TTI.
If cells are mapped to two Tcell groups within same scheduler, the scheduler
supports up to three cells per Tcell group and is able to select up to 6 users /


In case when only one HSDPA processing set 1 or set 2 was
purchased, then the entire licensed throughput will be assigned to one
scheduler.

In case when HSDPA processing set 3 was purchased, then the total
licensed throughput can be shared between multiple schedulers (up to
four).

HSDPA dimensioning
Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS Baseband

In case when there are not sufficient HSDPA LKs compared to the
number of schedulers, not all schedulers may get HSDPA throughput.
For example:
The operator has two schedulers and 1 x HSDPA BTS Processing Set
2. In this case, the first scheduler gets 21Mbps and the second
scheduler 0Mbps.
If there are only HSDPA Processing Set 1 LKs present in BTS, the division of
the licensed throughput will be done for each scheduler according to the
following formula:
Scheduler_licensed_throughput = Round_down {
Number_of_HSDPA_Processing_Sets *
(Scheduler_HSDPA_throughput_step /
Total_number_of_HSDPA_throughput_step_per_BTS) } * 7,2
Mbps
Equation 5 Scheduler licensed throughput with BTS Processing Set 1 type only
If there are only HSDPA Processing Set 2 and 3 LKs in BTS, the division of
licensed throughput will be done for each scheduler according to the formula
below:
Scheduler_licensed_throughput = Round_down {
(Number_of_HSDPA_Processing_Sets_2 + 4*
Number_of_HSDPA_Processing_Sets_3) *
(Scheduler_HSDPA_throughput_step /
Total_number_of_HSDPA_throughput_step_per_BTS) } * 21 Mbps
Equation 6 Scheduler licensed throughput with BTS Processing Set 2 or Set 3

where:
Scheduler_licensed_throughput – licensed throughput available for

If after the calculations presented above, the throughput for all schedulers is
lower than the total licensed throughput in the BTS, the remaining throughput
is distributed between schedulers with non-zero commissioned throughput.
Schedulers are prioritized in the following order:

______________________________________________________________
c) Schedulers from FSMC/D/E Master System Module are prioritized over
schedulers from FSMC/D/E Extension System Module
Distribution of remaining throughput is done iteratively with resolution 7.2Mbps
or 21Mbps depending on available HSDPA Processing Set.
If there are no HSDPA BTS Processing Sets LKs available, the BTS sets 0
Mbps as throughput to all schedulers.
Example:
BTS configuration with two System Modules and four HSDPA Processing
Sets:
 Master Flexi System Module FSM_1
 Extension Flexi System Module FSM_2
 3x HSDPA Processing Set 2 (3x 21Mbps) and 1x HSDPA Processing Set 3
(1x 84Mbps) licenses available. The total licensed throughput is 147Mbps.
BTS has two HSDPA schedulers activated with following commissioned
throughput:
 FSM_1_Scheduler 1 HSDPA Throughput Step=6 (42Mbps)
 FSM_2_Scheduler 1 HSDPA Throughput Step=18 (126Mbps)
According to Equation 6 Scheduler licensed throughput with BTS Processing
Set 2 or Set 3 type, scheduler licensed throughput is calculated as follows:
FSM_1_Scheduler 1 = Round_down { (3 + 4* 1) * (6 / (6+18)) } * 21 Mbps =
21Mbps
FSM_2_Scheduler 1 = Round_down { (3 + 4* 1) * (18 / (6+18)) } * 21 Mbps =
105Mbps
Total licensed throughput available with HSDPA Processing Sets is 147Mbps,
while total scheduler licensed throughput is 21Mbps + 105Mbps = 126Mbps,
thus the remaining 21Mbps is distributed to schedulers according to priority:

b) Master FSM is prioritized over Extension FSM
In case of FSM_1_ Scheduler 1: licensed throughput divided by commissioned
throughput = 21Mbps / 42Mbps = 0.5
In case of FSM_2_ Scheduler 1: licensed throughput divided by commissioned
throughput = 105Mbps / 126Mbps = 0.83
0.5 is lower than 0.83, thus, according to a), the remaining 21Mbps is
allocated to FSM_1_ Scheduler 1.
Resultingly, the licensed throughput of FSM_1_ Scheduler 1 is 42Mbps while
the licensed throughput of FSM_2_ Scheduler 1 is 105Mbps.
End of Example.
2) HSDPA users:
The number of HSDPA licensed users is distributed among the available
LCGs.
The HSDPA user number is controlled on the BTS level and it can be divided
between LCGs according to the commissioned shares. On BTS site
commissioning, the operator has the option to dedicate the number of licensed
HSDPA users to respective LCG. It is done by means of the parameter HSDPA
user share. This option defines the guaranteed HSDPA user capacity for
each LCG in percentage share. The sum of all dedicated shares from all of the
LCGs cannot exceed 100%. If this sum is less than 100%, then the remaining
part is common and all LCGs can utilize those licenses on a need basis.
9.9

If one HSDPA BTS processing set 3 LK is activated, the available HSDPA
user amount is 72 users. If only one LCG is configured, all 72 users can be
used in this LCG.

If one HSDPA BTS processing set 3 LK was bought and two LCGs were
configured, the operator can commission, for example, 20% of all available
users to LCG1 and 40% to LCG2. This means that the remaining 40% is
common for both LCGs and can be shared freely between them.

If no commissioning is done, the whole available amount of users is divided
equally per each configured LCG.
HSDPA scheduler throughput commissioning
On BTS site commissioning, it is possible to specify the maximum throughput
per HSDPA scheduler by means of commissioned steps called “HSDPA
throughput steps” (HSDPA Throughput Step). Each HSDPA throughput
step refers to 7.2 Mbps. For each scheduler, HSDPA throughput step can take
a value from 0 to 35 (0-252 Mbps).. HSDPA throughput step is used for
HSDPA licensed throughput distribution among available schedulers (for more
information, see Chapter 9.8). In addition it can be used to limit HSDPA
scheduler throughput.

____________________________________________________________________
FSMF specific
In case of LCG with Normal HSPA configuration, if the HSDPA throughput
step value is commissioned to one scheduler, then it also has to be
commissioned to another scheduler in the LCG. If the maximum throughput for
the HSDPA scheduler is set to 0, then the HSDPA scheduler is not available in
a given LCG. It is possible to set 0 for one scheduler and value >0 for another
scheduler in the LCG. It is not possible to set 0 for both HSDPA schedulers in
the same LCG.
The HSDPA throughput step has no impact on HSDPA baseband capacity
allocation.
Each HSDPA throughput step refers to 7.2 Mbps.
For example:
Normal HSPA configuration (2 HSDPA schedulers)
Commissioned HSDPA throughput step to scheduler #1 is equal to 2;
Commissioned HSDPA throughput step to scheduler #2 is equal to 6;
HSDPA_scheduler #1_throughput = 2 * 7.2Mbps = 14.4Mbps;
HSDPA_scheduler #2_throughput = 6 * 7.2Mbps = 43.2Mbps.
End of example:

If the HSDPA throughput step value is commissioned to one scheduler in
System Module, then it also has to be commissioned to another scheduler in
that System Module. If the maximum throughput for the HSDPA scheduler is
set to 0, then the HSDPA scheduler is not available in a given System Module.
It is possible to set 0 for one scheduler and value >0 for another scheduler in
System Module. It is possible to set 0 for both HSDPA schedulers in the same
System Module. In this case System Module is for Rel.99 traffic only.
The HSDPA throughput step has an impact on HSDPA baseband capacity
allocation (see Chapter 9.9.1).

Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS Baseband
Subunits_for_HSDPA_throughput - number of Subunits from Table 23;
Number_of_LCGs - number of LCGs with HSDPA resources that are
located at System Module. In case HSPA frequency layer mapping to
HW is used, 0.25 is applicable to both System Modules (See Example
2 below)
MIMO_cells: VAM-MIMO or E-VAM-MIMO cells
Non-MIMO_cells: non-(E-)VAM or (E-)VAM cells
Example 1):
Two HSDPA schedulers are activated at System Module with 1 LCG (6
non-MIMO cells and 3 MIMO cells). The maximum HSDPA throughput
commissioned for schedulers is:
 1st HSDPA scheduler 84Mbps (six non-MIMO cells)
 2nd HSDPA scheduler 42Mbps (three MIMO cells)
The total HSDPA throughput available per System Module is:
 84Mbps + 42Mbps = 126Mbps
To fulfill HSDPA throughput requirements, three subunits required by
HSDPA throughput have to be allocated (see Table 23).
According to Equation 8 HSDPA baseband capacity allocation, HSDPA
baseband capacity is:
Subunits_for_HSDPA = Max {Round up ((2 * 3 (MIMO cells) + 6 (nonMIMO cells)) / 6) + 1 ; 3 (HSDPA Subunits for Throughput) } + 1
(number of LCGs) * 0.25 = Max {2 + 1 ; 3} + 0.25 = Max {3 ; 3} + 0.25 =
3 + 0.25 = 3.25 Subunits;
Equation 8 HSDPA baseband capacity allocation provides the final
number of Subunits required for HSDPA. Thus, in Example 1), 3.25
Subunits are required for HSDPA.
Example 2):
BTS Site configuration FSME + FSMD; 2 + 2 + 2; HSPA Frequency
mapping to HW (F1 -> FSME, F2-> FSMD); 63Mbps per HSPA
frequency layer.
Since HSPA mapping is used, only one LCG can be created. According
to Equation 8 HSDPA baseband capacity allocation, HSDPA Subunits
consumption for each System Module is as follows:
FSME System Module:
Subunits_for_HSDPA = Max {Round up ((0*2 (MIMO cells) + 3
(non-MIMO cells)) / 6) + 1 ; 2 (HSDPA Subunits for Throughput) } +

+ 0.25 = 2 + 0.25 = 2.25 SU;
FSMD System Module:
Subunits_for_HSDPA = Max {Round up ((0 * 2 (MIMO cells) + 3
(non-MIMO cells)) / 6) + 1 ; 2 } + 1 (number of LCGs) * 0.25 = Max
{1 + 1 ; 2} + 1 * 0.25 = Max {2 ; 2} + 0.25 = 2 + 0.25 = 2.25 SU;
In total, 2.25 SU + 2.25 SU = 4.5 SU is consumed in Flexi WCDMA
BTS for HSDPA processing.
If the HSDPA throughput step for HSDPA scheduler is set to 0, then the
HSDPA scheduler is not available in a given System Module. If HSDPA
throughput step value 0 was commissioned to both HSDPA schedulers in the
same System Module, HSDPA is not activated at a given System Module and
does not consume any baseband capacity.
HSDPA throughput step parameter is used for HSDPA licensed throughput
distribution between HSDPA schedulers (for more information, see Chapter
9.8 HSDPA BTS Processing Set License Keys allocation).
If the HSDPA throughput step is commissioned for one scheduler in System
Module, then it has to be commissioned also for another scheduler in the
same System Module.
HSDPA throughput steps commissioning is optional. If the HSDPA throughput
steps are not commissioned, the default rule of allocating HSDPA throughput
to scheduler applies. For more details, see Chapter 14.
If the System Module available baseband capacity is too low for allocating
subunits for HSDPA throughput processing, then HSDPA throughput will be
allocated according to the default rule (see Chapter 14)
9.10 FSMC/D/E VAM and E-VAM impact on number of

(only FSMC/D/E System Modules are affected) the max achievable UE air
interface bit rate (and consequently max achievable peak UE HSDPA data
rate) may be impacted. Whether or not the impact exists, depends on the
following:
 Commissioned HSDPA throughput in System Module
 Number of HSDPA cells in System Module scheduler
The impact exists only in the following System Module configurations:

HSUPA dimensioning
HSUPA dimensioning
 HSUPA is supported only with the co-existence of HSDPA
 HSUPA is activated per LCG
In case of Flexi WCDMA BTS with one System Module, HSUPA is activated
per LCG and is supported in multiple LCGs.
At least one HSUPA BTS Processing Set LK per LCG and HSDPA BTS
Processing Set are required to support HSUPA traffic.
FSMF specific:
In case of Flexi WCDMA BTS with two FSMF System Modules, HSUPA is
supported on both System Modules with one or more HSUPA-enabled LCGs
per BTS.
FSMC/D/E specific:
In case of Flexi WCDMA BTS with two FSMC/D/E System Modules, HSUPA is
supported on only one System Module, unless:
 frequency mapping to both System Modules is used with the Mapping
HSPA Cell to HW parameter and HSDPA schedulers are activated on
both System Modules. Only one LCG is allowed. For more details, see
Chapter 18 HSPA frequency mapping.
- The principle that holds is that HSUPA traffic from respective HSPA
frequency carriers (HSPA cells) is supported only on System Module
where the HSDPA schedulers and CCCH resources of that carrier exist.
 more than one LCG is commissioned and HSDPA schedulers are activated
on both System Modules
- The principle that holds is that HSUPA traffic from respective LCGs
(HSPA cells) is supported only on System Module where the HSDPA
schedulers and CCCH resources of that LCG exist.
In case of Local Cell Grouping in use (multiple LCG Flexi WCDMA BTS) and
one of the LCGs has baseband capacity from more than one System Module
Rel.2, HSUPA of that LCG is supported only on the System Module Rel.2
where the HSDPA schedulers and CCCH resources for the cells from that
LCG exist.

For more specific information related to HSUPA, see WCDMA RAN HSUPA in
BTS, DN70223925.
10.1 HSUPA scheduler
 HSUPA scheduler is capable of supporting high throughputs and high number
of active users.
 HSUPA active user is a user served in CELL_DCH. HSUPA active user is also
a user in High Speed Cell_FACH (RAN 1913).
HSUPA throughputs (CELL_DCH) may depend on activated features (for
example: RAN981 HSUPA 5.8 Mbps, RAN1702 Frequency Domain Equalizer,
HSUPA 16QAM), RAN 1905 Dual Cell HSUPA as well as a number of
available HSUPA BTS Processing Set LKs and available baseband resources.
The number of HSUPA users actively served in BTS may depend on available
Baseband resources, number of available HSUPA BTS Processing Set LKs,
as well as actively used features (for example, RAN1201: Fractional DPCH).
See details of F-DPCH impact on consumed baseband resources in Chapter
10.2 HSUPA traffic impact on available capacity.
One HSUPA scheduler is available with one LCG*. Additional LCGs provide
additional HSUPA schedulers.
*In case of HSPA mapping to HW, two HSUPA schedulers are available per
Flexi WCDMA BTS with one LCG and two System Modules Rel.2. For details,
see Chapter 18 HSPA frequency mapping.

To support 128 HSPA users per cell, the RAN2124: HSPA 128 Users Per Cell
feature is required. Parameters limiting users per cell and LCG also need to
be properly set.
To support more HSUPA users per BTS, another LCG can be commissioned.
Number of supported LCGs in BTS configuration is specified in Chapter 7
In case of BTS configurations with more than one carrier and two FSMC/D/E
System Modules, the Mapping HSPA Cell to HW commissioning
parameter enables up to 480 HSUPA users per one LCG to be achieved (two
HSUPA schedulers - mapping frequency layers to both System Module used).

10.2 HSUPA traffic impact on available capacity
 HSUPA traffic is processed by HSUPA scheduler.
 Activation of HSUPA scheduler (HSUPA activation) has no impact on
available baseband capacity.
 Active HSUPA users and total HSUPA scheduler throughput have impact
on available baseband capacity. In case of active HSUPA users, HSUPA
scheduler in System Module consumes HSUPA Resource Steps.
 HSUPA Resource Step is a baseband capacity equivalent of:
- 0.125 Subunit (FSMF)
- 0.25 Subunit (FSMC/D/E)
 Rel.99 CEs are not consumed by HSUPA active user allocations (neither
by data channels or SRB) in System Module
 The impact of active HSUPA users on available baseband capacity
depends on the number of HSUPA users and HSUPA scheduler throughput
as well as whether the HSUPA user is actively using the following features:
- HSUPA 2ms TTI
- HSUPA 10 ms TTI
- Fractional DPCH (F-DPCH) (RAN1201: Fractional DPCH)
HSUPA active users’ impact on available baseband capacity is presented in
Chapter 24 HSUPA dimensioning tables.
16QAM HSUPA consumption see Chapter 10.6.4
Note that Subunit usage might change on TTI basis. In one TTI, UE transmits
with 16QAM modulation, while in another TTI, lower modulation order is used.
For example, 16 QAM usage depends on radio conditions or amount of data in
the UE buffer.
Up to 15 Subunits are allocated for HSUPA per single FSMC/D/E System
Module and 16.75 Subunits per FSMF System Module.
10.3 HSUPA dynamic resource reservation
Baseband capacity is reserved for HSUPA dynamically on a need basis. If
there are active HSUPA users in LCG, then certain number if HSUPA
Resource Steps is reserved. If the throughput is decreasing and/or number of
users is decreasing, the reserved resources might get released depending on
the baseband resource situation in the BTS. If there is a need for baseband
resources for higher priority traffic (for example DCH traffic), the BTS will
release the resources fast. If there is no baseband congestion situation,
DN981084
Issue 03G

72 /170
Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS Baseband
HSUPA dimensioning
HSUPA resource might not get released fast. This is done to keep the HSUPA
resources ready to use especially for users with bursty transmission. This
improves latency, round trip time and end user experience as well as an
instantaneous UE throughput. Therefore Subunits utilization indicators may
appear high but this does not necessarily indicate that the Flexi BTS
baseband resources have reached maximum capacity. The dynamic allocation
of baseband resources keeps the HSUPA Subunits utilization on a high level
although more users can be served additionally. By allocating extra (not used)
Subunits for the users, the scheduling changes are much faster (in scale of
scheduling periods) as there is no immediate need for HW allocation changes
and the new serving grants can be provided to the UEs immediately.
For information about capacity usage monitoring please refer to Managing
WCDMA RAN Capacity DN0972569 document.
If there are no active HSUPA users in the LCG, there is no dynamic baseband
resource reservation.
If the active HSUPA users and/or HSUPA scheduler throughput is increasing,
the Resource Steps are also reserved (allocated) accordingly. To allocate next
HSUPA resource step, an additional free capacity of:
 6 Rel.99 CEs (FSMF)
 14 Rel.99 CEs (FSMC/D/E)
is needed. These 14 / 6 Rel.99 CEs can be any licensed Rel.99 CEs in any
System Module. The required 14 / 6 Rel.99 CE free on top of the HSUPA
resource step is to avoid a “ping-pong” effect in reserving and freeing HSUPA
resource steps. This is needed so that the HSUPA resource step is not
requested back immediately after its allocation.
When free channel capacity drops below:
 4 Rel.99 CEs (FSMF)
 8 Rel.99 CEs (FSMC/D/E)
the Resource Manager starts to release resources used by HSUPA.

10.5 Hybrid HSUPA BTS Processing Set
One HSUPA Processing Set per LCG is hybrid, which means that can be used
by Rel.99 users if Rel.99 CE LKs are not available (all LKs are in use or LKs
are not purchased). Hybrid HSUPA Processing Set has 8 or 12 hybrid HSUPA

For example:

= 24 – Roundup (2.5) = 24 – 3 = 21
21 HSUPA users are still allowed by hybrid HSUPA Processing Set LK.
When Rel.99 users consume hybrid HSUPA BTS Processing Set capacity
also HSUPA throughput might be affected since less HSUPA resource step(s)
are available for HSUPA scheduler.
The number of Hybrid HSUPA Resource Steps available for HSUPA
scheduler depends on the number of used Hybrid Rel.99 CE according to the

Example:
 120 AMR 12.2 users in FSMF
 One HSUPA BTS Processing Set available (8 hybrid HSUPA resource
steps)
 108 Rel.99 CE licenses available
 2 hybrid HSUPA resource steps overlapped with Rel99 CE licenses
48 Rel.99 CE from Hybrid HSUPA PS can be consumed by Rel.99 traffic in
addition to 108 Rel99 CE LKs.
120 AMR 12.2 users are in the BTS, which means that 120 Rel.99 CE are
consumed (108 Rel99 CE licenses + 12 Rel99 CE from hybrid HSUPA
Processing Set license)
Number_of_allowed_HSUPA_users_by_hybrid_HSUPA_Processing_Set =
24 – Roundup (Number_of_allocated_Rel99_CE / 2) = 24 – Roundup (12 /
2) = 24 – 6 = 18
Number_of_hybrid_HSUPA_resource_steps_for_HSUPA_purpose = 8 –
Roundup(Number_of_allocated_Rel99_CE / 6) = 8 – Roundup (12 / 6) = 6
After allocation of 12 Rel99 CE from Hybrid HSUPA PS , 18 HSUPA users
and 6 HSUPA resource steps are still available for HSUPA scheduler.
End of Example.
When baseband capacity is covered by Hybrid HSUPA Processing Set LK and
Rel.99 CE LKs (license overlapping), the formulas above consider only Rel.99
CE which are not overlapped (allocated Rel.99 CE available with hybrid
HSUPA Processing Set license capacity).
Note that hybrid HSUPA Processing Set is always dynamic and cannot be
statically reserved (see Chapter 20 HSUPA static resource allocation).

10.6 HSUPA required resource dimensioning
To calculate the required number of Subunits for mixed user type case, (FDPCH/no-FDPCH/2ms TTI/10msTTI users, 16QAM, DC-HSUPA and CS
Voice over HSPA), the following rule is applied. In some cases, the rule
presented below leads to overestimation of baseband resources.
HSUPA_Subunits = F-DPCH_2msTTI_Subunits +
F-DPCH_10msTTI_Subunits + no-FDPCH_2msTTI_Subunits +
no-FDPCH_10msTTI_Subunits + 16QAM_2msTTI_Subunits +

Example:
System Module Rel.2
HSUPA BTS combined L1 throughput = 32.7Mbps
Number of F-DPCH 2ms TTI users = 8 UEs with 5.8Mbps throughput
Number of F-DPCH 10ms TTI users = 18 UEs with 5.8Mbps throughput
Number of no-F-DPCH 2ms TTI users = 14 UEs with 5.8Mbps throughput
Number of no-F-DPCH 10ms TTI users = 34 UEs with 4.3Mbps throughput
Number of 16QAM 2ms TTI users = 1 UE with 11Mbps throughput
F-DPCH_2msTTI_Subunits – 1.5 Subunits required; see Table 44 (eight
users, 5.8Mbps combined L1 throughput);
F-DPCH_10msTTI_Subunits – 1.5 Subunits required; see Table 46 (18
users, 5.8Mbps combined L1 throughput)
No-F-DPCH_2msTTI_Subunits – two Subunits required; see Table 45 (14
users, 5.8Mbps combined L1 throughput)
No-F-DPCH_10msTTI_Subunits – 2.5 Subunits required; see Table 47 (34
users, 4.3Mbps combined L1 throughput)
16QAM_2msTTI_Subunits – 1 Subunit required (1 user * 1 subunit = 1
Subunit).
According to Equation 12: HSUPA_subunits = 1.5 + 1.5 + 2 + 2.5 + 1 = 8.5
Thus, 8.5 SU for HSUPA (data) users are required in this example.

To achieve high HSUPA throughput, the Interference Cancellation (IC)
features are recommended:

RAN1308: HSUPA Interference Cancellation Receiver

RAN2250: Enhanced HSUPA IC
RAN2250 requires RAN1308. RAN2250 has no impact on Baseband
dimensioning.
IC is performed with PIC (Parallel Interference Cancellation) pool units. With
the picPool commissioning parameter, the operator can activate the
required number of PIC pools, and then perform cell mapping to the PIC
pools.
4-Way RX Div is not supported with the Interference Cancellation feature.
Interference Cancellation unit (PIC pool) with FSMF + FSMD/E
Up to four PIC pools are supported per BTS.
Up to three PIC pools are supported per FSMF Master System Module and at
least one FBBA is required to support more than two PIC pools. Up to two PIC
pools are supported per FSMC/D/E Extension System Module.
Interference Cancellation unit (PIC pool) with FSMF

Up to six cells (with 2-Way RX Div) can be mapped to one PIC pool unit
and interference cancellation is performed in six cells at the same time.

Cells from the same frequency layer within LCG should be mapped to the
same PIC pool unit.

One PIC pool unit consumes one subunit capacity.

10.6.2 High Speed Cell_FACH feature dimensioning
RAN1913: High Speed Cell_FACH (HS Cell_FACH UL) consumes baseband
resources for HS Cell_FACH UL users processing. Using the Min number
of HS-FACH users parameter operator can commission static Baseband
resources for HS Cell_FACH UL users. Baseband reservation is done in
steps:
 four steps are available for each LCG
 single step provides baseband capacity for 10 HS Cell_FACH UL users
 single step corresponds to the Baseband capacity equivalent of single
HSUPA Resource Step:
- 0.125 SU (FSMF)
- 0.25 SU (FSMC/D/E)
 a maximum of 40 HS Cell_FACH UL users can be served in LCG,
which corresponds to four HSUPA Resource Steps
The Min number of HS-FACH users parameter has a default value “0”,
which means that no static Baseband resource allocation is done. In this case,
when the RNC is configuring HS Cell_FACH UL user in the cell (it means
Common E-DCH resources are reserved for HS-Cell FACH UL cell), the BTS
will attempt to dynamically allocate one HSUPA Resource Step in the LCG for
HS Cell_FACH UL users (supporting max 10 users in LCG). If the Baseband
capacity is available, one Resource Step is allocated for HS Cell_FACH UL. If
the Baseband capacity is not available, the HS Cell_FACH UL setup from the
RNC is rejected.
When Min number of HS-FACH users has a value of 1, 2, 3 or 4,
respective whole Subunit is not used for CELL_DCH HSUPA users
processing. The remaining capacity from the Subunit can be used for DCH
users processing.
When RNC configured HS Cell_FACH UL user in the cell, such user is treated
in the same way as a normal HSUPA CELL_DCH user with respect to
maximum number of users supported per cell and per HSUPA scheduler.
For example:
a) If RNC configured five HS Cell_FACH UL users in the cell from LCG, then
up to 235 HSUPA CELL_DCH users can be served simultaneously in LCG
by HSUPA scheduler.
b) If RNC configured 10 HS Cell_FACH UL users in the cell from LCG, then
up to 230 HSUPA CELL_DCH users can be served simultaneously in LCG
by HSUPA scheduler.
c) If RNC configured zero HS Cell_FACH UL users in the cell from LCG, then
up to 240 HSUPA CELL_DCH users can be served simultaneously in LCG
by HSUPA scheduler.

HSUPA dimensioning
Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS Baseband
Note that up to 240 HSUPA users including both:
 HS Cell_FACH UL users configured by RNC
 HSUPA CELL_DCH users
are supported per LCG by HSUPA scheduler in Normal HSPA configuration in
FSMF or in FSMC/D/E. Up to 160 HSUPA users including both:
 HS Cell_FACH UL users configured by RNC
 HSUPA CELL_DCH users
are supported per LCG by HSUPA scheduler in Small HSPA configuration in
FSMF.
In case when HSUPA scheduler capacity is fully used from users point of view
(240 HSUPA CELL_DCH users are active in LCG in HSUPA scheduler) new
HS Cell_FACH UL configuration request from RNC is rejected by BTS (even if
Baseband resources are statically commissioned with Min number of HSFACH users parameter). Note that High Speed Cell_FACH DL (RAN1637)
users do not require any baseband reservation.
See Chapter 9.2.1 for High Speed Cell_FACH DL (RAN1637) feature
activation impact on number of supported HSDPA users in HSDPA scheduler.
10.6.3 Dual Cell-HSUPA feature dimensioning
 Dual Cell (DC) HSUPA user is seen as two Single Carrier (SC) HSUPA
users from max number of users per HSUPA scheduler point of view. For
example with one DC-HSUPA user, HSUPA scheduler supports maximally
238 SC-HSUPA users
 DC-HSUPA user is counted only in the primary cell from Maximum number
of E-DCHs in the cell (MaxNumberEDCHCell) point of view
 DC-HSUPA user is counted only once per LCG from Maximum number of
E-DCHs in the LCG (MaxNumberEDCHLCG) point of view
 FSMC/D/E supports up to 120 DC-HSUPA users in LCG (note that FSMC
supports up to 45 DC-HSUPA users when Baseband capacity is
considered)
 FSMF with Normal HSPA LCG configuration supports up to 120 DCHSUPA users in LCG
 FSMF with Small HSPA LCG configuration supports up to 80 DC-HSUPA
users in LCG
 Both DC-HSUPA cells need to be within the same LCG
 Up to 10 DC-HSUPA users are supported per cell
 DC-HSUPA operation is supported only with F-DPCH and 2ms TTI

 DC-HSUPA user is seen as two SC-HSUPA users from HSUPA resource
consumption point of view. In HSUPA dimensioning tables (Chapter 24):

Column “HSUPA users per scheduler” defines SC-HSUPA users, thus
one DC-HSUPA user is counted as two SC-HSUPA users

Row “Baseband minimum decoding capacity” defines the capacity that
BTS will share for all cells in LCG
10.6.4 HSUPA 16QAM feature dimensioning
 In FSMC/D/E, one UE transmitting with 16QAM modulation consumes up to
one Subunit.
-
One 16QAM UE consumes 1 SU with throughput >= 8.6 Mbps (up to
11 Mbps)
-
One 16QAM UE consumes 0.75 SU with throughput >= 4.2 Mbps and
< 8.6Mbps
-
16 QAM is not used with throughput < 4.2 Mbps. In this,
case dimensioning is done based on HSUPA dimensioning tables
(Chapter 24)
 In FSMF up to three UEs transmitting with 16 QAM modulation can be
allocated in one Subunit as presented in Table 30

*One 16QAM UE consumes 0.375 SU with throughput >= 4.2 Mbps and up to
11Mbps. 16 QAM is not used with throughput < 4.2 Mbps. In this,
case dimensioning is done based on HSUPA dimensioning tables (Chapter
24).
Note that Subunit utilization might change on TTI base. In one TTI, UE
transmits with 16QAM modulation. While in the second TTI different
modulation can be used depending on, for example, radio conditions or
amount of data in the UE buffer.

10.7 HSUPA BTS Processing Set License Keys
dimensioning
HSUPA BTS Processing Set License Key (LK) increases the LCG maximum
user count by twenty four users and the available throughput by 5.8Mbps. For
example, if two HSUPA BTS Processing Set LKs are available, then up to
2×5.8Mbps = 11.6Mbps throughput will be supported and up to 2×24 users =
48 users. Note also that an ASW license might be needed to reach a certain
throughput.
To calculate the required number of HSUPA BTS Processing Sets for certain
number of users and throughput, it is recommended to use the following
formula:
Number_of_HSUPA_BTS_Processing_Sets = max {
Roundup (HSUPA_users / 24); Roundup
(HSUPA_data_users_throughput / 5.8) };
Equation 13 Number of HSUPA BTS Processing Sets for HSUPA users
where:
HSUPA_users – is the number of HSUPA users (data + CS Voice
over HSPA users)
HSUPA_throughput – is the combined HSUPA throughput (data + CS
Voice over HSPA users) referred in Mbps.
Example calculation of required number of HSUPA Processing Sets:
 After baseband dimensioning (done using Equation 12 HSUPA Subunits
formula for more information see Example in Chapter 10.6), it occurs that
8.5 Subunits in total are required for HSUPA (data) users (76 HSUPA data
users/combined L1 throughput = 32.7Mbps)
 The number of HSUPA BTS Processing Sets is calculated according to
Equation 13 Number of HSUPA BTS Processing Sets for HSUPA users:
Number_of_HSUPA_BTS_Processing_Sets = max{ Roundup(76/24);
Roundup(32.7/5.8) } } = max{ 4; 6 } = 6.
The required throughput and number of active HSUPA users can be
achieved simultaneously.

CCCH dimensioning details
CCCH dimensioning details
For basic rules on CCCH dimensioning see Chapter 5
11.1 Formula for calculating CCCH resources
 CCCH resources are called CCCH pools.
 One CCCH pool in FSMF is a capacity equivalent of 0.5 SU.
 One CCCH pool in FSMC/D/E System Module is a capacity equivalent of 1
SU.
 CCCH pools included in System Module HW capacity do not require any
license.
 Additional CCCH pools or CCCH pools included if FSMF HSDPA Subunits
are enabled when those are licensed.
- FSMF CCCH pool needs to be licensed with CCCH PS LK.
- FSMC/D/E CCCH pool need to be licensed with 48Rel.99 CE LKs.
Configurations that can be served with single CCCH pool included in System
Module HW can be determined with the formula below:

 0km< r <=30km # of signatures = 4

 60km<r<=120km # of signatures = 1
Rx – {2 ; 4} in case of 4-Way RX Div Rx= 4, otherwise Rx =2
If the conditions above are fulfilled, then the configuration can be served with
CCCH pool included in System Module HW capacity, and there is no need for
additional licenses. In certain cases however (for example, more cells are
required), more CCCH resources may need to be licensed as follows:

In case of 6-cells/20km cell range (2-Way RX Div) with 1x FSMF:
- One CCCH pool needs to be licesed

In case of 9-cells/20km cell radius (2-Way RX Div) with 1x FSMF:
- Two CCCH pools need to be licensed

In case of 12-cells/20km cell radius (2-Way RX Div) with 1x FSMF:
- Three CCCH pools need to be licensed

In case of 9-cells/20km cell radius (2-Way RX Div) with FSMF+ FSMF:
- One CCCH pool needs to be licensed

In case of 12-cells/20km cell radius (2-Way RX Div) with FSMF+ FSMF:
- Two CCCH pools need to be licensed

In case of 9-cells/20km cell radius (2-Way RX Div) with FSMF + FSMD/E:
- One CCCH pool needs to be licensed

In case of 12-cells/20km cell radius (2-Way RX Div) with FSMF + FSMD/E:
- Two CCCH pools need need to be licensed
______________________________________________________________________
NOTE
CCCH resources of a single cell cannot be split between two CCCH pools.
______________________________________________________________
FSMF specific:
A single pool of CCCH resources provides capacity of 48 RACH resources
which are common for all assigned cells. One RACH resource is used to
process one RACH message during 10ms PRACH radio frame.

A single pool of CCCH resources provides capacity of 24 RACH resources
which are common for all assigned cells. One RACH resource is used to
process one RACH message during 10ms PRACH radio frame.
In case of 20ms RACH TTI, one RACH message consumes two RACH
resources.
11.2 Extended Cell
The basic principles for Extended Cell in WCDMA BTS are as follows:
 A cell is called an Extended Cell when its range is >20km.
 One pool of CCCH resources (one CCCH pool) can process many cells (up
to six), but one Extended Cell cannot be split between two pools of CCCH
resources (two CCCH pools).
 Extended Cell Rel.99 CE dimensioning rules are the same for all WCDMA
frequencies.
 One or several cells in the BTS (supported configurations) can be
configured as Extended Cells.
 An Extended Cell is tested up to 150km.
11.2.1 CCCH pools required for Extended Cell
The number of CCCH pools required for the Extended Cells CCCH processing
depends on cell range and site configuration. One Extended Cell with range
up to 180km can be served with one CCCH pool. However, if a lower cell
radius is required, more than one Extended Cell can be served with one
CCCH pool or the Extended Cell can be served together with normal cells
using one CCCH pool included in the System Module capacity.
For example:
 1+1/10km + 1/40km (2-Way RX Div) – cells are processed with CCCH
pools included in System Module HW capacity
End of example
Other site configurations that can be served with the CCCH pool included in
System Module HW capacity can be determined with the formula below:

______________________________________________________________________
NOTE
CCCH resources of a single cell cannot be split between two different CCCH
pools.
Example 1:
BTS configuration with single System Module 2+2+2, 35 km cell range, 2-Way
RX Div. To check if the BTS cell configuration is supported with CCCH pool
included in HW, Equation 14 BTS configuration (number of cells, cell range,
RX Div) supported with resources included in System Module HW capacity
need to be considered.
The result of Equation 14 is higher than 480, thus the First Condition is not
fulfilled and additional CCCH pools need to be licensed from available
baseband capacity.
To check how many cells can fit to one CCCH pool, Equation 14:
# _ of _ cells
 (Cell Range
i 1
i
* # of Signatures i * Rx)  480
need to be reconsidered for one cell only:

considering two cells only:
2
 (35

* # 4 i * 2)  480

Since Equation 14 is violated considering two cells of 35 km, it indicates two
cells of 35 km cell range each cannot be served with one pool of CCCH
resources and each single cell of 35 km requires own pool of CCCH
resources.
In result, to support 6 cells with 35 km cell range with single System Module,
five additional CCCH pools need to be licensed.
Example 2:
BTS configuration with single Flexi System Module, six cells: 2+2/10km +
2/40km. To check if the BTS cell configuration is supported with CCCH pool
included in System Module HW capacity, Equation 14 needs to be

The result of Equation 14 is not fulfilled (the result is higher than 480), thus
additional CCCH pools need to be licensed from available baseband capacity.
To check how many cells can fit to one pool of CCCH resources, Equation 14
needs to be reconsidered for cell with the highest cell range:
1
 (40
i 1
i
* 4 i * 2)  480
320  480
Equation 14 is fulfilled for one cell thus one cell of 40 km is supported with
single pool of CCCH resources. To check if two cells of 40 km are supported
with one pool of CCCH resources, Equation 14 is reconsidered for two cells
only:
2
 (40
i 1
i
* 4 i * 2  480
640  480

Since Equation 14 is violated considering two cells of 40 km, it indicates that
two cells of 40 km cell range each cannot be served with one pool of CCCH
resources. Now it is checked if one 40 km cell can fit to one pool of CCCH
resources with one or more 20km cells:
1
 (10
i 1
1
i
* 4 i * 2)   (40 i * 4 i * 2)  480
i 1
480  480
One cell 40 km and one cell 20 km fits to one pool of CCCH resources.
In result, to support 4 cells with 10 km cell range and 4 cells with 40 km cell
range with single System Module, two additional CCCH pools need to be
licensed.

Local Cell Grouping impact on FSMC/D/E System Module

Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS Baseband
Local Cell Grouping impact on
FSMC/D/E System Module capacity
FSMC/D/E System Module capacity depends on the number of cells.
Consequently, whether the System Module is processing cells from one or
more LCGs impacts available System Module capacity.
For example:
 Master FSME + Extension FSME; one Local Cell Group (LCG) per Flexi
WCDMA BTS; 12 cells in total per BTS; 10km cell range; 2-Way RX
Div.
FSME capacity for 12 cells is 16 SU (Subunits):
Flexi WCDMA BTS capacity for 12 cells with two System Modules is
equal to 16 + 16 = 32 Subunits. CCCH resources are covered by
resources included in the HW capacity (each FSME has CCCH
resources included in HW for 6 cells in considered cell range and Rx
Div configuration).
Details of CCCH allocation in System Modules are found in Chapter
5.3 CCCH Resources allocation.
 Master FSME (LCG1: 6cells) + Extension FSME (LCG2: 6cells). 12
cells in total per BTS. 10km cell range; 2-Way RX Div.

Principles of the FSMC/D/E System Modules baseband
capacity allocation to LCGs
Principles of the FSMC/D/E System
Modules baseband capacity allocation
to LCGs
For basic information on LCG allocation on System Modules capacity, see
Chapter 7.5.
The general rules of LCG capacity allocation on System Modules Rel.2
baseband capacity are as follows:
1) In case of two LCGs, the LCG having bigger amount of HW resources
commissioned (Access Baseband Capacity or "Max. HW BB
capacity") is allocated to the System Module that has bigger capacity (for
example, FSME has bigger capacity than FSMD) or is shared on both
System Modules. If both System Modules have the same capacity (for
example Master FSME + Extension FSME), the LCG which has the bigger
amount of HW resources commissioned covers capacity of whole Master
FSME and part of the capacity of Extension FSME.
The LCG which has the smaller amount of HW resources commissioned is
allocated to FSM that has smaller capacity or is shared on both System
Modules. For example, in case of Master FSME + Extension FSMC, the
LCG with smaller amount of HW resources commissioned gets capacity of:
 part of FSMC
 whole FSMC
 or whole FSMC and part of FSME
2) In case of two LCGs, if Access Baseband Capacity = 50% and total
number of Subunits is divisible by two, the LCG with lower ID (LCG#1 has
lower ID than LCG#2) is allocated to System Module with bigger capacity
while the LCG with higher ID is shared on both System Modules.

Issue 03G
Principles of the FSMC/D/E System Modules baseband
capacity allocation to LCGs
Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS Baseband
In case both System Modules have the same capacity, the LCG with lower
ID is allocated to Master System Module while the LCG with higher ID is
allocated to Extension System Module.
For example:
Two LCGs with 50% share of BTS resources; BTS configuration with
even number of Subunits in BTS: FSMC+FSME.
As a result, both LCGs have the same amount of Subunits per FSM.
 LCG with lower ID (LCG#1) is allocated to FSM with bigger capacity
(FSME)
 LCG with higher ID (LCG#2) is shared on FSME and FSMC
3) If Access Baseband Capacity = 50% and total number of Subunits is
not divisible by two, the LCG with higher ID gets one Subunit more and rule
from point 1) is applied.
For example:
Two LCGs with 50% share of BTS resources; BTS configuration with
odd number of Subunits in BTS: FSME+FSMD.
As a result, the LCG with higher ID gets one SU more than the LCG with
lower ID and is allocated on FSM with bigger capacity:
 16SU is allocated to LCG#2 on FSME
 15SU is allocated to LCG#1 shared on FSME and FSMD
4) In case of BTS with more than two LCGs, after allocating the 1st LCG and
the 2nd LCG (point 1)), the BTS allocates the 3rd and 4th LCGs with respect
to the rule:
The LCG with bigger amount of HW resources is allocated to System
Modules where the LCG in question has more resources. In case the LCG
has equal share of resources on both System Modules, the LCG is
allocated on Master System Module.
Note that Subunits of the BTS are dedicated to LCGs according to the
Access Baseband Capacity commissioning parameter but the final
System Module and LCG Subunits capacity depends on number of cells as
specified in Table 7 Available System Module capacity referred in Subunits.

Note that HSDPA_subunits include certain amount of resources for CCCH

5.2.1).
Example 1:

 FSMF System Module (no FBBA)
 One LCG with Normal HSPA configuration
 12 cells/10km/2-Way RX Div:
- 3 HSPA non-MIMO cells
- 6 MIMO cells
- 3 Rel.99 cells
 Interference Cancellation for 6 cells
Cells_factor = Roundup { (Roundup (non_MIMO_cells/3) + MIMO_cells
) / 2 } = Roundup{ (Roundup(6/3) + 6) / 2} = Roundup{ (2+ 6 ) / 2 } =
Roundup{ 8/2 } = 4
HSDPA_subunits = max { Cells_factor / 2 – 0.5 ; Min_HSDPA_subunits
} + 0,125 = max{4 / 2 - 0.5 ; 1 } + 0.125 = max {1.5 ; 1} + 0.125 = 1.625
SU
Note that FSMF has CCCH resources for 6 cells / 10km / 2-Way RX Div.
Since 12 cells are configured, CCCH resources included in HSDPA scheduler
are used when one CCCH Processing Set LK is available.
Available Baseband capacity in LCG is calculated with Equation 1:
Number_of available_subunits = (number_of_subunits –
HSDPA_subunits – subunits_for_PIC_pool –
subunits_for_static_HSUPA - subunits_for_additional_CCCH –

Note that FSMF has CCCH resources for 6 cells / 10km / 2-Way RX Div.
Since 12 cells are configured, CCCH resources included in HSDPA scheduler
are used when one CCCH Processing Set LK is available.
Available Baseband capacity in LCG is calculated with Equation 1:
Number_of available_subunits = (number_of_subunits – HSDPA_subunits

Min_HSDPA_subunits } + 0.125 = max {1 / 2 – 0.5 ; 0.5} + 0.125 = 0.5
+ 0.125 = 0.625 SU
LCG 2 requires one CCCH pool (0.5 SU) for CCCH processing (1x CCCH
Processing Set LK required).
Available Baseband capacity in LCG is calculated with Equation 1:
Number_of available_subunits = (number_of_subunits – HSDPA_subunits
– subunits_for_PIC_pool – subunits_for_static_HSUPA subunits_for_additional_CCCH – subunits_for_HS_FACH) = 3 – 0.625 – 2

HSDPA throughput allocation in case of
HSDPA throughput steps are not
commissioned
The basics on HSDPA scheduler throughput steps are found in Chapter
9.9 HSDPA scheduler throughput.
HSDPA throughput steps commissioning is optional. If HSDPA throughput
was not commissioned, then:
 FSMF LCG with Small or Normal HSPA settings: 42Mbps is
allocated for every two non-MIMO cells or one MIMO cell in LCG.
In case of LCG with two HSDPA schedulers, throughput is divided
equally between HSDPA schedulers with 21 Mbps granularity.
 FSMC/D/E: 2*42 Mbps is allocated to every 1-6 non-MIMO cells or
1-3 MIMO cells.
SW upgrade from RU20 (valid for FSMC/D/E): If HSDPA throughput
was not commissioned and the user script presenting SW upgrade
conversion settings is not available, the default rule will be automatically
used for HSDPA cells as presented in Table 37 Default rule for HSDPA

FSMC/D/E HSDPA resource allocation details
FSMC/D/E HSDPA resource allocation
details
For the basis of HSDPA resource allocation, see Chapter 9.3 FSMC/D/E
HSDPA users and schedulers allocation principles.
In case of Flexi WCDMA BTS with two System Modules and more than one
LCG, HSDPA resources are allocated to particular System Modules
depending on LCG configuration. To know the HSDPA allocation to particular
System Module, see the relevant chapter:
 Fixed LCGs (Chapter 16.1)
 Flexible LCG. In this case, HSDPA allocation also depends on whether
Maximum Throughput per HSDPA Scheduler is commissioned on:
- Both System Modules (Chapter 16.2)
- One of the two System Modules (Chapter 16.3)
- None of the System Modules (Chapter 16.4)
For the LCG allocation rules in BTS configuration with two System Modules,
see Chapter 7.5.
16.1 Fixed LCGs
If baseband capacity is shared between LCGs according to System Module
capacity due to, for example, Rel.1 RF Module HW (fixed LCGs), HSDPA
resources of particular LCG is allocated according to the rule:
HSDPA resources of LCG#1 are allocated to Master System Module while
HSDPA resources of LCG#2 are allocated to Extension System Module.

16.2 Flexible LCGs. Maximum Throughput per HSDPA
Scheduler commissioned on both System
Modules
In case of flexible LCGs and HSDPA Throughput Step > 0 on both System
Modules, the general rules of HSDPA allocation are as follows:
1) HSDPA of the LCG which has the biggest amount of commissioned BB HW
resources (Access Baseband Capacity) is allocated only to the
System Module with bigger capacity.
HSDPA of the LCG with the next biggest amount of resources is allocated
only to the System Module with smaller capacity (See Example a) below).
In case both System Modules have equal capacity (for example,
FSMD+FSMD), HSDPA of the LCG which has the biggest amount of
resources is allocated only to Master System Module. HSDPA of the LCG
which has the next biggest amount of resources is allocated only to
Extension System Module.
2) In case of two LCGs, if both LCGs have the same share of BTS baseband
resources (Access Baseband Capacity = 50%)LCG allocation to
particular System Module depends on whether BTS has even or odd
number of Subunits (see Chapter 13 Principles of the FSMC/D/E System
Modules baseband capacity allocation to LCGs for details).
a) Even number of Subunits:
HSDPA of LCG#1 is allocated only to System Module with bigger
capacity. HSDPA of LCG#2 is allocated only to System Module with
smaller capacity (see below Example b)).
If both System Modules have equal capacity (for example,
FSMD+FSMD), HSDPA of LCG#1 is allocated only to Master System
Module. HSDPA of LCG#2 is allocated only to Extension System
Module.
b) Odd number of Subunits:
HSDPA of LCG#2 is allocated only to System Module with bigger
capacity. HSDPA of LCG#1 is allocated only to System Module with
smaller capacity (see below Example c)).
3) After allocating HSDPA of LCG#1 and LCG#2, the BTS allocates HSDPA
of 3rd and 4th LCG with respect to rule:
The bigger LCG or LCG with lower ID is allocated first. If the LCG has
resources on both System Modules, HSDPA is allocated only to System
Module where the LCG in question has more resources. In case the LCG has
equal share of resources on both System Modules, HSDPA is allocated only
to Master System Module.

1) LCG with resources shared on both System Modules has HSDPA allocated
only to System Module with Maximum Throughput per HSDPA Scheduler

on number of available HS-PDSCH codes
 In case of FSMF, VAM and E-VAM have no impact on number of available
HS-PDSCH codes.
Max achievable UE HSDPA air interface bit rate is calculated with formula:
R = W / SF x M x #HS-PDSCH
Equation 18 Max achievable UE HSDPA air interface bit rate
where:
R - max achievable UE HSDPA air interface bit rate
W - chip rate (3.84 Mcps)
SF - Spreading Factor (16)
M - number of bits per modulated symbol (QPSK: M=2; 16QAM: M=4;
64QAM: M=6)
#HS-PDSCH – max number of available HS-PDSCH codes per cell (up to 15
per cell)
To reach the max achievable UE HSDPA air interface bit rate R, 15 HSPDSCH codes are used. With lower number of HS-PDSCH codes, peak UE
HSDPA bit rate R is lower. For example (assumptions: 16 QAM, non-MIMO):

Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS Baseband
Note, that in principle 15 HS-PDSCH codes are available for HSDPA user only
when those are available from DL code tree. DL code tree is a shared
resource. Codes from a code tree are in one common pool for both HSDPA
and higher priority traffic like AMR voice. In case of many active AMR calls in
the cell, 15 HS-PDSCH codes might not be available at all times.
17.1 VAM or E-VAM not enabled
In case of System Module HSDPA scheduler with (E-)VAM not enabled cells,
there is no impact on max number of available HS-PDSCH codes per cell
(#HS-PDSCH). Max number of available HS-PDSCH codes per every six
HSDPA cells is 90. Those 90 codes are in one pool and are shared between
up to six cells based on current need. In maximum 15 codes per cell are
available.
17.2 VAM or E-VAM enabled
In case when below inequation is fulfilled per System Module HSDPA
scheduler, then 15 HS-PDSCH codes per cell are available.
#throughputSteps > 12 x Roundup((#nonMIMOcells + 2 x

#MIMOcells – number of MIMO cells ((E-)VAM cells)
In cases when above inequation is not fulfilled, then 15 HS-PDSCH codes
simultaneously per each MIMO stream and each non-MIMO cell is not
guaranteed.
Number of HS-PDSCH codes per scheduler is calculated from Equation 19:
#HS-PDSCH_scheduler = 90 x (Roundup((#nonMIMOcells + 2 x
#MIMOcells) / 6))

FSMC/D/E VAM and E-VAM impact on number of available
HS-PDSCH codes – details
Note, that HSDPA scheduler serves up to six cells.
All codes in scheduler are in one common pool for all cells in scheduler. Each
E-VAM cell requires two HS-PDSCH codes in addition. Those two codes are
subtracted from common pool of codes in scheduler and are not used for
HSDPA data transmission in any cell. Each VAM cell requires one HS-PDSCH
code in addition. This one code is subtracted from common pool of codes in
scheduler and is not used for HSDPA data transmission in any cell.
To guarantee 15 HSPDSCH codes per each and every cell at all times,
HSDPA throughput step could be increased.
Example impact on number of codes is presented below:
VAM, non-MIMO:
-
-
 Six HSDPA cells and throughputStep <= 12 (up to 84 Mbps)
Number of HS-PDSCH codes per six cells is 84 (on average #HS-PDSCH codes per
cell is 14, but some of the cells still may get 15 codes if other cell has 13 codes at the
moment)
 12 cells and throughputStep <= 24 (up to 168 Mbps)
Number of HS-PDSCH codes per 6 cells + 6 cells is 84 + 84 (average #HS-PDSCH
codes per cell is 14, but some of the cells still may get 15 codes if other cell has 13
codes at the moment)
E-VAM, non-MIMO:
-

 Six cells and throughputStep <= 12 (up to 84 Mbps)
Number of HS-PDSCH codes per six cells is 78 (on average #HS-PDSCH codes per
cell is 13, but some of the cells still may get 15 codes if other cells has 11 codes or
less)
 12 cells and throughputStep <= 24 (up to 168 Mbps)
Number of HS-PDSCH codes per six cells + six cells is 78 +78 (on average #HSPDSCH codes per cell is 13, but some of the cells still may get 15 codes if other cells
has 11 codes or less)

HSPA frequency mapping

Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS Baseband
HSPA frequency mapping
 HSPA frequency mapping is supported in case of BTS configuration with
two System Modules FSMC/D/E.
With the commissioning parameter Mapping HSPA Cell to HW, the
operator can map frequency layers to different System Modules. Some
frequencies can be mapped to one System Module and other frequencies to
another System Module. Both system Modules are used for HSPA.
HSPA frequency mapping is supported only with single LCG on Flexi WCDMA
BTS.
If some frequency layer is mapped to a System Module, the selected System
Module has to provide Common Control Channels, HSUPA, and HSDPA
processing resources (in both cases including schedulers, A-DCH, and SRB
resources) for cells from the assigned frequency layer. In this case, DCH
users from the assigned frequency layer are also allocated at the selected
System Module. However, when the full System Module capacity is occupied,
new DCH users can be allocated on the other System Module.

HSUPA BTS Processing Set allocation
in case of HSPA mapping and Local
Cell Grouping
The total number of HSUPA BTS Processing Set in BTS is shared between
LCGs or between System Modules in case of HSPA frequency mapping.
Sharing is done according to rules presented in the following chapters:

19.1 HSUPA BTS Processing Set License Keys allocation in case of HSPA
frequency mapping

19.2 HSUPA BTS Processing Set License Keys allocation in case of Local
Cell Grouping in use
If one LCG has baseband resources from two System Modules, the BTS will
allocate the licensed HSUPA capacity to this System Module where an
HSUPA scheduler exists.
19.1 HSUPA BTS Processing Set License Keys
allocation in case of HSPA frequency mapping
Details on HSPA frequency mapping are found in Chapter 18 HSPA frequency
mapping
In case of Flexi WCDMA BTS with two System Modules and HSPA frequency
mapping in use, HSUPA License Keys (LKs) are split between HSUPA
schedulers proportionally to baseband capacity for traffic use of each System
Module.
The sum of HSUPA LKs allocated to both HSUPA schedulers is always equal
to the total available BB resources required to reach the licensed number of
users and licensed throughput.
The split of HSUPA BTS Processing Set LKs between two System Modules is
calculated with following formula:

#SU_FSM2 – number of Subunits available in Flexi System Module 2 (in
example excluding PIC, additional CCCH and HSDPA throughput Subunits)
#HSUPA_BTS_PS_LKs – total number of HSUPA BTS Processing Set LKs
available in BTS
If after calculations with the formula above (Equation 20), the sum of HSUPA
BTS Processing Sets LKs allocated to Flexi System Module 1 and Flexi
System Module 2 is lower than the total number of commissioned HSUPA
BTS Processing Sets, the remaining LK is distributed according to the rule
below:
Remaining HSUPA PS is allocated to FSM with lower number of
HSUPA Processing Set LKs. If both schedulers have the same amount
of HSUPA Processing Sets then remaining HSUPA Processing Set LK
is allocated to HSUPA scheduler located at Master System Module.
For example:
BTS with two FSMEs, 9 cells/20km cell range, HSPA mapping to HW
(FSME1: 6 cells 168Mbps, FSME2: 3 cells 84 Mbps) and six HSUPA BTS
Processing Sets.
After static resources allocation (in this case: HSDPA Throughput
Subunits, additional CCCH resources) each FSME has following number
of available resources for HSUPA and DCH traffic processing:
 FSME1: 12.75 SU
 FSME2: 14.75 SU
The HSUPA Processing Sets are iteratively distributed between FSMEs
proportionally to available resources as follows:
 FSME1: RoundDown { 12.75 SU / (12.75 SU + 14.75 SU) x 6 HSUPA
PS } = 2 HSUPA PSs
 FSME2: RoundDown { 14.75 SU / (12.75 SU + 14.75 SU) x 6 HSUPA
PS } = 3 HSUPA PSs

As a result of the first iteration, 2 HSUPA PSs are allocated to FSME1,
while 3 HSUPA PSs are allocated to FSME2.
As a result of the second iteration, the remaining HSUPA PS LK is
allocated to FSME with lower number of HSUPA PS LKs (in this case
FSME1 gets the remaining one HSUPA PS LK),
Finally, each FSME gets three HSUPA PS LKs.
19.2 HSUPA BTS Processing Set License Keys
allocation in case of Local Cell Grouping in use
If Baseband pooling is used, the total number of HSUPA BTS Processing Set
License Keys (LKs) available in the BTS is split between LCGs according to
the commissioned share (shareOfHSUPALicences). The
shareOfHSUPALicences parameter is LCG specific. The sum of LCG
shares is always 100%. HSUPA LK share is performed with HSUPA BTS
processing set LK granularity.
To calculate the HSUPA Processing Set LK split between LCGs, the following
formula is recommended:
LCG_1_Number_of_HSUPA_BTS_Processing_Sets =
RoundDown { shareOfHSUPALicences_LCG_1 x
#HSUPA_BTS_PS_LKs };
LCG_2_Number_of_HSUPA_BTS_Processing_Sets =
RoundDown { shareOfHSUPALicences_LCG_2 x
#HSUPA_BTS_PS_LKs }
Equation 21 Number of HSUPA BTS Processing Sets in LCG 1 and LCG 2 in
case of BTS with Baseband pooling
where:
shareOfHSUPALicences_LCG_1 – share of HSUPA PS LKs commissioned
to LCG 1 with shareOfHSUPALicences parameter
shareOfHSUPALicences_LCG_2 – share of HSUPA PS LKs commissioned
to LCG 2 with shareOfHSUPALicences parameter
#HSUPA_BTS_PS_LKs – total number of HSUPA BTS Processing Set LKs

LCG 1 has lower id than LCG 2.

are five HSUPA LKs, then LCG1 gets three LKs and LCG2 gets two LKs.
Example 2: six HSUPA PS LKs in BTS and commissioned share is: LCG#1
34%, LCG#2 33%, LCG#3 33%. Based on Equation 21, LCG #1, #2, #3 get
the following number of LKs respectively: two, one and one. Remaining two
LKs are distributed iteratively starting from LCG#1. Final HSUPA PS count:
LCG#1 three LKs, LCG#2 two LKs, LCG#3 one LK.

HSUPA static resource allocation
HSUPA static resource allocation
Baseband resources can be dynamically exchanged between DCH and
HSUPA use. DCH traffic has higher priority than HSUPA in baseband
resource reservation. It is possible to commission a minimum static (fixed)
reservation for HSUPA, but the rest of the capacity is dynamically allocated to
HSUPA when DCH does not need it.
To have the guaranteed HSUPA service level, it is possible to reserve
minimum capacity only for the use of HSUPA traffic.
The BTS reserves the minimum capacity for HSUPA based on the
commissioning parameter Number of HSUPA resource steps
reserved for HSUPA users. The value for the parameter directly refers
to the HSUPA Resource Steps that are statically allocated for the HSUPA
users and L1 throughput processing. HSUPA throughput may be higher if
there is more capacity available in the BTS and the number of HSUPA PS LKs
do not limit.
If HSPA frequency mapping is in use (see Chapter 18), the static resource
reservation based on the commissioning parameter takes place on HSPA
capable System Module(s). If both System Modules are HSPA capable
(HSDPA schedulers are activated on both System Modules), HSUPA
Resource Steps given with Number of HSUPA resource steps
reserved for HSUPA users are reserved on both System Modules
proportionally to number of cells mapped to each System Module.

Otherwise, if E-TFCI Table 0 is configured for 10ms TTI HSUPA users with FDPCH channel, the amount of HSUPA users in baseband gets limited. In case
of E-TFCI Table 1, baseband can support 60% less users than in case of ETFCI Table 0. The decoding capacity of a low data rate user with E-TFCI
Table 0 is affected, as in this case the user consumes more baseband
resources than a user with E-TFCI Table 1. As a result, fewer resources are
available for high data rate users.
In case of low data rates (single Mac-d PDU) and E-TFCI Table 0, the
smallest physical channel for sending one MAC-d PDU in a TTI is limited to
Spreading Factor 16 (SF16). It is limited by coding rate, which has constant
threshold value in 3GPP. E-TFCI Table 1 allows usage of physical channel
SF32. Physical channel SF16 requires roughly double baseband resources
compared to SF32 and thus it has direct impact on the amount of users that
can be allocated.
Note that if SF16 or higher physical channel is not allowed then coding rate is
allowed to get smaller values and SF32 is possible for one MAC-d PDU also
with E-TFCI table 0.
To configure E-TFCI Table 1 in case of 10ms F-DPCH E-DCH transmission,
the RNC PRFILE parameter needs to be modified (available from RU30EP2).
Refer to WCDMA RAN and I-HSPA RRM HSUPA document for E-TFCI table
configuration details.

Multi RAB

Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS Baseband
Multi RAB
A Multi RAB call is a single user call with multiple (up to four) services (RABs)
active simultaneously. For example, a UE actively downloading data via
HSDPA service while having simultaneous AMR voice call, has a Multi RAB
service with two RABs established: HSDPA RAB + AMR RAB. General
classification of Multi RAB calls is as follows:

HSDPA + AMR call

HSUPA + AMR call

HSUPA/HSDPA + HSUPA/HSDPA call

DCH + DCH call
23.1 HSDPA + AMR call resource allocation
If UE has active HSDPA connection (UL: Rel.99, DL: HSDPA) while AMR on
DCH service is established, resources for the AMR service are allocated on
the same System Module FSMC/D/E where HSDPA resources are allocated.
For example:
 two System Modules FSME
 HSDPA scheduler(s) activated only at Master FSME
 Extension FSME processes Rel.99 traffic only
The resources for AMR service of Multi RAB call are allocated only at the
FSME with HSDPA enabled (Master FSME). DCH service of Multi RAB call
consumes Rel.99 CE LKs in UL/DL for DCH processing according to Table 13
Baseband resources required per one Rel.99 traffic channel (FSMC/D/E or
FSMF System Module). In case FSMF+FSMF and LCG is shared between
System Modules, the Rel.99CE for AMR call can be allocated on either Master
or Extension FSMF.

23.2 HSPA + AMR call resource allocation
If AMR DCH service is established while UE has an active HSPA connection
(UL: HSUPA, DL: HSDPA), the AMR service is processed with already
allocated HSUPA resources. AMR service of Multi RAB call does not require
any additional baseband resources for processing, neither Rel.99 CE LKs in
UL/DL are required.
AMR service of a Multi RAB call is processed on the same FSMC/D/E where
an ongoing HSPA service of a Multi RAB call is processed. In case of
FSMF+FSMF, AMR service can be processed either on Master or Extension
FSMF.
Setup of an AMR service with ongoing HSPA connection may have an impact
on available Baseband resources depending on whether F-DPCH feature is
actively used by the UE:
 HSPA non-FDPCH connection: the newly established AMR service of
Multi RAB call does not have any impact on available baseband
resources;
 HSPA FDPCH connection: if AMR service of Multi RAB call is newly set
up, the HSUPA connection is considered as HSUPA non-FDPCH from
the baseband resource consumption point of view.
23.3 HSUPA/HSDPA + HSUPA/HSDPA call resource
allocation
Each HSUPA/HSDPA service of a Multi RAB call requires UL/DL baseband
resources for processing. One UE with Multi RAB service counts as one UE
from HSUPA and HSDPA Processing Set LKs allowed users point of view.
For example:
 one HSDPA Processing Set 1 (supports up to 32 HSDPA users)
 one HSUPA Processing Set (supports up to 24 HSUPA users)
 one UE with two RABs
Still 23 HSUPA users can be served simultaneously with one Multi RAB UE
considering HSUPA LK (user count) point of view. Adequately in case of
HSDPA Processing Sets, up to 31 HSDPA users can be served in addition to
one Multi RAB UE.
HSDPA scheduler supports up to 238 HSDPA UEs in addition to one HSDPA
Multi RAB UE with two RABs.

Multi RAB
Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi BTS Baseband
HSUPA scheduler supports up to 238 HSUPA UEs in addition to one HSUPA
Multi RAB UE with two RABs.
23.4 DCH + DCH call resource allocation
Each DCH service of a Multi RAB call requires separate Rel.99 CE baseband
resources in UL/DL for processing. In case of Multi RAB call, equivalent
amount of Rel. 99CEs is consumed as in case of separate DCH Single RAB
calls.
Rel.99 CE LKs for each DCH service in Multi RAB call are required according
to Table 13 Baseband resources required per one Rel.99 traffic channel
(FSMC/D/E or FSMF System Module) For example, 64/64kbps + 64/128kbps
Multi RAB baseband resource reservation is same as baseband resource
reservation for 64/64kbps and 64/128kbps Single RABs.

HSUPA dimensioning tables
HSUPA dimensioning tables
This Chapter presents HSUPA dimensioning tables used for dimensioning of
required HSUPA resources (HSUPA Resource Steps referred in Subunits).
Input for the tables are required HSUPA users and required HSUPA
throughput per scheduler (Local Cell Group). Output from the table is the
required number of Subunits for HSUPA users and throughput processing.
Per both FSMF and FSMC/D/E there are four tables depending on the used
features. Click on the Table number to go to directly to the table:
FSMF:
 HSUPA F-DPCH 2ms TTI Table 40
 HSUPA non-F-DPCH 2ms TTI Table 41
 HSUPA F-DPCH 10ms TTI Table 42
 HSUPA non-F-DPCH 10ms TTI Table 43
FSMC/D/E:
 HSUPA F-DPCH 2ms TTI Table 44
 HSUPA non-F-DPCH 2ms TTI Table 45
 HSUPA F-DPCH 10ms TTI Table 46
 HSUPA non-F-DPCH 10ms TTI Table 47
In HSUPA dimensioning tables the assumption is that the HSUPA licensed
capacity is unlimited, as well as the typical use case when the majority of the
users are DL data dominated (E-DCH users in UL in-activity periods in
CELL_DCH, sending small UL data packets like keep alive messages or not
sending at all, but mainly receiving HSDPA data) and the remaining users are
UL data dominated (E-DCH users actively uploading data). DL dominated user
has a reservation in HSUPA BTS scheduler which is an equivalent of following
baseband minimum decoding capacities (L1), depending on current UE TTI
selection:
 10ms TTI: 37.2 kbps (corresponds to 32 kbps in RLC layer)
 2ms TTI: 47.5 kbps (corresponds to 40 kbps in RLC layer)
Moreover in the HSUPA dimensioning tables, the assumption is that:

 Cell load is available. If cell load is a constraint then throughput will be
lower
 Air or IuB interface can limit actually achieved end to end throughputs
 The actual throughput achieved may be ~10% lower than the numbers
defined in the table due to HSUPA BLER target
