Flexi Zone BTS System Upgrade
1. Flexi Zone system upgrade overview
You can perform a Flexi Zone system upgrade or system migration to LTE19B, SRAN20FZ
SP1,SRAN20FZ SP2 and SRAN21FZ SP1 releases.
The system migration or system upgrade is a process that involves downloading and
activating a new software release on a system, as well as converting the existing system
configuration to be compatible with the new software release. The system migration or
system upgrade can be executed remotely and can only be performed towards the same
hardware platform.
Note:
During BTS migration or upgrade scenarios, service degradation and partial service
loss cannot be fully avoided. Therefore, Nokia recommends performing system
migration or system upgrade process during periods of low traffic.
System migration or system upgrade to LTE19B release
The LTE5148: System Upgrade to LTE19B feature allows you to perform a system upgrade
or a system migration from LTE18A, LTE19 or LTE19A to LTE19B release. The migration and
upgrade paths are depicted in System migration and system upgrade paths to LTE 19B
supported by the LTE5148 feature figure.
It supports compatibility between the starting and target releases, as well as the capability
to fall back or roll back to the last active release.

2. Important notifications for Flexi Zone system
migration/upgrade
Important information to be taken into account before, during and after the system
migration/upgrade for Flexi Zone
dlOlqcDeltaCqiStepUp parameter value
Starting with the LTE19A release, the default value of the dlOlqcDeltaCqiStepUp
parameter is changed from 0.125 to 0.06. In most live networks, the 0.06 value will provide
better cell DL data throughput performance. But in other cases, like inaccurate channel
quality indicator (CQI) reporting and small-packet data bursts, the 0.06 value will slightly
impact DL BLER and throughput.
Software rollback
If no future rollback to release FDD-LTE 18A, or TD-LTE 18A is planned, the operator must
configure the BTS to reject any accidental rollback requests, by setting the FEATCADM
Activate SW Rollback Rejection (actSWRollbackReject) parameter value to
true. This prevents the BTS from activating and booting onto the previous software load
and configuration that does not support Direct Integration.
Concurrent internal BTS updates
In case of concurrent internal BTS updates, removal of objects from LNADJ and LNREL
hierarchy via network management system (NMS) or element manager (EM) plan file may
cause a loss of commissioning file from BTS. In such cases Nokia recommends that operator
relies on BTS neighbor detection feature that automatically removes the objects that are
not needed.
Antenna line devices
For RS485 ports with connected antenna line devices (ALDs) and for antenna line ports with
connected ALDs, configure the following parameters:
For RS485 ports with connected ALDs
Set the RSL HDLC communication enabled (hdlcCommunicationAllowed)
parameter value to true.
Set the RSL DC voltage enabled (dcVoltageEnabled) parameter value to true.

Flexi Zone BTS System Upgrade
For antenna line ports with connected ALDs
Set the ANTL HDLC communication enabled (hdlcCommunicationAllowed)
parameter value to true.
Set the ANTL DC voltage level (dcVoltage) parameter value to LOW, HIGH, or
AUTO.
Note:
If these parameters are not configured before the system upgrade process, the ALDs
connected to the antenna line or those connected to the RS485 ports, or both will not
be detected after the upgrade process.
Virtual IP requirements
When using virtual IP, the IP route setting must include the following parameters to define
the expected source IP address of the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) path:
For IPv4
The IPRT List of static routes (staticRoutes) parameter
The IPRT Preferred source IPv4 address (preSrcIpv4Addr) parameter
For IPv6
The IPRTV6 Static IPv6 routes (staticIpv6Routes) parameter
The IPRTV6 Preferred source IPv6 address (preSrcIpv6Addr) parameter
Flexi Zone BTS with IPsec in use
When upgrading Flexi Zone BTS to FL19A version make sure that:
Before the upgrade to FL19A, you create a bypass policy for management plane (Mplane) in FL19.
Note:
This bypass policy change must be made both in BTS and at Security Gateway
(S-GW).
This step is required to avoid BTS going inaccessible after upgrade to FL19A,
due to IPSec tear down.
After the upgrade to FL19A, in BTS Site Manager you:
1. Change the IPSECC IPSec Authentication Scheme (authenticationScheme)

parameter value from CERTIFICATE to PSK.
2. Disable the bypass policy created before upgrade for M-plane, both in BTS and at S-GW.

3. Flexi Zone BTS migration from LTE 18A to LTE 19B
Migration of several Flexi Zone BTSs from LTE 18A release to LTE 19B is done using
NetAct.
The system migration to LTE 19B is done in one step. The system migration to intermediate
versions (LTE 19, LTE 19A) is not needed.
Figure 5: Overview of the system migration from LTE 18A to LTE 19B
The switchover from iOMS architecture to Direct Integration architecture is performed via
an automated workflow engine provided by NetAct. It enables remote migration of the BTS
O&M interface from iOMS to NE3S (Direct Integration) and software upgrade of the BTSs.
Note:
For detailed procedures of the system migration, see Flexi Zone BTS migration
workflow chapter.

Skip this step if the Input data file field is already filled correctly from a previous
operation of the workflow.
4
Click Start to start the operation.
5
Click Yes to confirm the operation.
Result
For BTSs reporting a successful software activation, the operation waits and periodically
checks the BTSs that have rebooted and have successfully upgraded.
An indication of a successful upgrade is that the MRBTS release information in NetAct
connectivity database has been changed to FLF 19B / TLF 19B. The MRBTS release
information is changed when NetAct receives a topology event via OMS. The MRBTS release
information is visible in NetAct Monitor.
If a critical error occurs during the software upgrade, or if the BTS connects to the OMS
after a reboot, the BTS falls back to the previous software and configuration and
reestablishes the connection to NetAct via OMS.
If the operation detects any of the following alarms, it reports to the user that a fallback
may have occurred:
7111 BASE STATION SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT PROBLEM
7650 BASE STATION FAULTY
7651 BASE STATION OPERATION DEGRADED
4.4.2 Connecting and uploading the configuration from
the Flexi Zone BTS
Connecting and uploading the configuration operation can be started already when the
activation operation starts to report the feedback eNBs upgraded. The scope of the

27
Result
The operation handles those BTSs that are still integrated via NWI3 (OMS) but have already
been upgraded to the LTE19B software release. The operation performs the following:
Configures the MRBTS object's integration data in NetAct.
Configures the NE3SWS object for the MRBTS, which initiates an O&M connection
registration between NetAct and the BTS.
Check and corrects the EM object if needed (only for standalone base stations).
Deletes the MRBTS from OMS.
For standalone base stations, the NE3SWS object is configured according to the
Management plane IP address parameter in the actual IPNO object of the base
station. For Flexi Zone Controllers, the NE3SWS object is configured according to the EM
object of the base station.
After a successful O&M interface connection for a standalone base station, the operation
checks that the EM object matches the NE3SWS object. If not, then the operation
reconfigures the EM object. This is the case when a standalone base station changes its
Management plane IP address during software upgrade and reports the new Management
plane IP address to NetAct via OMS.
After a successful O&M interface connection, the workflow operation launches the
configuration data upload operation from the upgraded BTS to synchronize the
Configurator actual configuration database.
The CM Operations Manager's operation history tab must be followed in order to see the
end status of the upload operation. If it fails, the upload can be rerun manually.
The connect and upload operation ends after the O&M connection is opened and the
configuration upload is launched for all the scoped BTSs.
If the operation cannot establish a successful O&M interface connection via NE3S interface
for a BTS, it removes the NE3SWS object and restores the MRBTS object's integration data
in NetAct. After that, the BTS is operational via OMS.
The operation can be repeated for the same input data file. The operation handles only
those BTSs that are still integrated via NWI3 (OMS) but have already been upgraded to
LTE19B software release.

child object's Agent object class is changed from operation and maintenance server (OMS)
to MRBTS. The Rule Analyzer tool in Monitor can be used to search the rules having this
criteria. Filters can be exported to a file and searched in files. Add MRBTS: MRBTS or
LNCEL: MRBTS as the object class criteria for the alarm filter and alarm rules.
4.5.5 Configuring NE3S PnP Services IP addresses
NE3S PnP Services IP addresses parameter configuration
After successful integration with NetAct and planfile upload, the operator must configure
the CM MRBTS/LNBTS/FTM/IPNO NE3S PnP Services IP addresses
(ne3sPnpIPAddresses). It is used to start Agent Discovery procedure and perform
reintegration with NMS over NE3S interface in scenarios like manual integration or recovery
from integration error. The list of IP addresses contains the IP Addresses of the NetAct WAS
load balancer. This parameter supports up to eight elements (IP addresses - one IP address
for one NetAct). In commissioning we suggest to configure one IP address valid for the
currently managing NetAct.
4.5.6 Setting oamIPAddr and secOmsIpAddr values
After successful integration with NetAct and planfile upload, if the operator doesn’t
want to fallback to iOMS connection again, he should check if the
MRBTS/LNBTS/FTM/IPNO oamIPAddr and MRBTS/LNBTS/FTM/IPNO secOmsIpAddr
values are set to 0.0.0.0.
