1.2.2.5 Multimode Technical Specifications of Main Control Boards
Co-MPT refers to the scenario where a main control board works in multiple
modes. Multimode co-MPT technical specifications include the number of carriers,
number of cells, and number of UEs in co-MPT scenarios among GSM, UMTS, NR,
and LTE. Unless otherwise specified, in this section, LTE refers to LTE FDD, LTE TDD,
and LTE NB-IoT, and NR refers to NR FDD and NR TDD.
●
Co-MPT scenarios comply with the specifications of each single RAT. For
example, if NR FDD does not support 32T32R/64T64R cells, then GULN does
not support 32T32R/64T64R cells either.
●
In this section, the co-MPT specifications involving NR TDD is applicable to
sub-6 GHz scenarios.
●
In typical GL/UL/LN/GUL/GULN scenarios, LTE FDD and LTE TDD dynamically
share the LTE specifications of the main control board. NR FDD and NR TDD
dynamically share the NR specifications of the main control board.
●
In typical GL/UL/LN/GUL/GULN scenarios where the specifications of GSM
and UMTS remain unchanged, the LTE FDD capacity of the main control
board is affected after LTE NB-IoT is introduced. That is, LTE FDD and NB-IoT
share the number of LTE FDD cells and number of UEs in RRC connected
mode of the main control board before LTE NB-IoT is introduced.
●
When the UMPT works in GSM, UMTS, LTE, and NR modes, these modes
dynamically share main control resources in terms of signaling specifications,
which are related to the processing configuration of baseband processing
units. Therefore, this document does not provide signaling specifications of a
single main control board working in multiple modes. Instead, this document
provides signaling specifications of main control boards and baseband
processing units working in multiple modes in typical configurations. For

1.2.3 Technical Specifications of Baseband Processing Units
Baseband processing units include the LBBP and WBBP that support only one RAT
as well as the UBBP that supports multiple RATs. As system designs differ, the
technical specifications supported by baseband processing units vary with the
RATs. When the specifications of a baseband processing unit are limited, you can
replace it with one of higher specifications or add a new one.
1.2.3.1 GSM Technical Specifications of Baseband Processing Units
GSM baseband supports two work modes: In non-baseband extension mode,
baseband resources are processed by RF modules. In baseband extension mode,
baseband resources are processed by an independent baseband processing unit.
Only the UBBPd board can process GSM baseband resources. The UBBPe, UBBPg,
and others cannot.
The following table lists the carrier specifications per UBBPd working in GSM
mode. In the following table, 2R is short for 1T2R or 2T2R and 4R is short for 1T4R
or 2T4R.
The bandwidth of a single GSM carrier is fixed to 200 kHz.

NOTE
In UMTS scenarios, the UBBP supports mixed configuration of 2R and 4R cells. Assume that
the UBBP supports mixed configuration of x 2R cells and y 4R cells. The following
conditions must be met:
●
UBBPd2/UBBPd4/UBBPd5/UBBPe2: (x + y) ≤ 6
●
Other boards: (x + 2y) ≤ Number of 2R cells supported by the UBBP and y < Number
of 4R cells supported by the UBBP
●
If a BBU3900 is configured with both the WBBP and UBBP and the WBBP provides
optical fiber connections, the UBBP that does not provide optical fiber connections
cannot provide the preceding maximum capacity.

Category
Description
Cell Number
Specifications
● Cell number specifications refer to the number of
cells with different bandwidths and antenna
configurations.
● When a cell is bound to multiple pieces of sector
equipment, the number of cells refers to the number
of pieces of sector equipment or number of sector
equipment groups.
● For FDD massive MIMO cells, the number of cells
refers to the number of sector split groups.
UE Number
Specifications
UE number specifications refer to the number of UEs in
RRC connected mode and number of uplink
synchronized UEs.
DRB Number
Specifications
DRB number specifications refer to the number of
DRBs.
Throughput
Specifications
Throughput specifications include the uplink and
downlink throughput of cells and boards.
Signaling
Specifications
Signaling specifications are measured in BHCA. For the
definition of BHCA, see Control-Plane Traffic Model.
Number of CA UEs
and Number of
VoLTE UEs
● The number of carrier aggregation (CA) UEs is the
sum of the maximum number of primary
component carrier (PCC) UEs and the maximum
number of secondary component carrier (SCC) UEs
in different CA scenarios.
● The number of VoLTE UEs refers to the number of
voice service UEs using the IMS voice solution.
Cell Number Specifications
LTE FDD cells support bandwidths of 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz,
and 20 MHz, and various antenna configurations, such as 2T2R/4T4R/8T8R/
32T32R. 8T8R or higher antenna configurations are supported when the
bandwidth is at least 5 MHz. The number of LTE FDD cells is expressed as A x B
nTnR, indicating A cells, B bandwidth of each cell, and nTnR antenna
configuration. For example, 3x5/10/15/20 MHz 4T4R indicates three cells, where
the bandwidth of each cell can be 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, or 20 MHz, and the
antenna configuration is 4T4R. When mixed configuration of cell number
specifications exists, the cell number specifications are connected by using a plus
sign (+).
This part describes the maximum number of cells supported by each baseband
processing unit with different cell bandwidths and antenna configurations. The
capabilities of baseband processing units for mixed configuration of cells with
different antenna configurations are as follows:

Number of CA UEs and Number of VoLTE UEs
The maximum number of CA UEs supported by a baseband processing unit is the
sum of the maximum number of primary component carrier (PCC) UEs and the
maximum number of secondary component carrier (SCC) UEs supported by the
board, including the specifications in different CA scenarios. This specification,
calculated based on model 1, meets the following requirements:
●
Number of non-CA UEs + Number of PCC CA UEs x [1 + (N - 1) x0.5] +
Number of SCC CA UEs x 0.5 ≤ Number of UEs in RRC connected mode, where
N indicates the number of aggregated carriers, for example, N = 2 in 2CC CA.
●
The maximum number of PCC CA UEs cannot exceed the number of CA UEs
listed in the following tables. For example, the UBBPd3 board supports a
maximum of 750 PCC-served 2CC CA UEs or 500 PCC-served 3CC CA UEs
when it carries only PCC-served UEs.
●
Number of non-CA UEs + Number of PCC CA UEs + Number of SCC CA UEs ≤
Number of UEs in RRC connected mode
The following tables list the number of CA UEs and the number of VoLTE UEs per
baseband processing unit.

Cell Number Specifications
LTE TDD cells support bandwidths of 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, and 20 MHz and
antenna configurations of 2T2R/4T4R/8T8R/32T32R/64T64R. 8T8R or higher
antenna configurations are supported when the bandwidth is at least 10 MHz. The
number of LTE TDD cells is expressed as A x B nTnR, indicating A cells, B
bandwidth of each cell, and nTnR antenna configuration. For example,
3x5/10/15/20 MHz 4T4R indicates three cells, where the bandwidth of each cell
can be 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, or 20 MHz, and the antenna configuration is
4T4R. When mixed configuration of cell number specifications exists, the cell
number specifications are connected by using a plus sign (+).
This part describes the maximum number of cells supported by each baseband
processing unit with different cell bandwidths and antenna configurations. Unless
otherwise specified, the cell number specifications are supported when the
subframe configuration is SA1 or SA2.
The following tables list the number of cells per baseband processing unit in LTE
TDD mode.

1.2.3.3.3 LTE NB-IoT Technical Specifications of Baseband Processing Units
The LTE NB-IoT technical specifications of a baseband processing unit include the
number of cells, number of UEs, throughput, signaling specifications, and so on.
These specifications are as follows:
Table 1-88 LTE NB-IoT technical specifications of baseband processing units
Category
Description
Cell Number
Specifications
● Cell number specifications refer to the number of
cells with different bandwidths and antenna
configurations.
● When a cell is bound to multiple pieces of sector
equipment, the number of cells refers to the number
of pieces of sector equipment or number of sector
equipment groups.
● For FDD massive MIMO cells, the number of cells
refers to the number of sector split groups.
UE Number
Specifications
UE number specifications refer to the number of UEs in
RRC connected mode and number of attached UEs.
Throughput
Specifications
Throughput specifications include the uplink and
downlink throughput of cells and boards.
Signaling
Specifications
Signaling specifications are measured in BHCA. For the
definition of BHCA, see Control-Plane Traffic Model.
Cell Number Specifications
The bandwidth of a single LTE NB-IoT carrier is 200 kHz. A single LTE NB-IoT cell
supports a single carrier and multiple carriers. The antenna configuration can be
2T2R or 4T4R.
From SRAN16.1 onwards, a single cell on the UBBP supports flexible carrier
configuration. That is, a cell can be configured with any number of carriers within
the board specifications (number of cells and number of carriers). The number of
cells supported by a baseband processing unit is expressed by A carriers (200 kHz,
2T2R/4T4R) over B cells, where A indicates the number of carriers and B indicates
the number of cells. A 200 kHz 2T2R/4T4R carriers can be allocated to B cells.

Specifications
Signaling specifications are measured in BHCA. For the
definition of BHCA, see Control-Plane Traffic Model.
Cell Number Specifications
When the baseband processing unit works in both LTE FDD and LTE NB-IoT
modes, the number of cells is expressed as A+B, where A and B indicate the
number of cells supported by LTE FDD and that supported by LTE NB-IoT,
respectively. For example, in 3x1.4/3/5/10 MHz 4T4R + 3x200 kHz 2T2R,
3x1.4/3/5/10 MHz 4T4R indicates the number of LTE FDD cells, and 3x200 kHz
2T2R indicates the number of LTE NB-IoT cells.
The following tables list the number of cells per baseband processing unit in both
LTE FDD and LTE NB-IoT modes.
NOTE
The number of in-band LTE NB-IoT carriers that can be deployed on LTE FDD cells for each
baseband processing unit working in LTE FDD+NB-IoT mode is as follows:
● For a UBBPd/UBBPe, two in-band LTE NB-IoT carriers can be deployed on each LTE FDD
cell. For a UBBPd, if Standard Ratio is set to FDD_ENHANCE, in-band NB-IoT cells
cannot be deployed on the LTE FDD cells.
● For a UBBPg, three in-band LTE NB-IoT carriers can be deployed on each LTE FDD cell.
The expression of cell number specifications of each RAT in multimode scenarios complies
with that in single-RAT scenarios.

UE Number Specifications
When the baseband processing unit works in LTE FDD, LTE TDD, and LTE NB-IoT
modes, these modes dynamically share the baseband resources.
●
LTE FDD and LTE TDD share the number of UEs in RRC connected mode.
●
The number of UEs in RRC connected mode for LTE FDD+TDD and the
number of attached UEs for LTE NB-IoT dynamically change based on the
baseband resource usage. This part provides the specifications in typical
resource usage.
This part uses 20 MHz bandwidth for LTE FDD or LTE TDD cells and 200 kHz
bandwidth for LTE NB-IoT cells as an example to describe the UE number
specifications supported by each baseband processing unit.
The following tables list the number of cells per baseband processing unit in LTE

BBU
Technical Specifications
1 BBU Technical Specifications
Cell Number Specifications
NR TDD cells support the following spectrum types:
●
Sub-6 GHz
Sub-6 GHz indicates frequency bands below 6 GHz. According to 3GPP
specifications, the single-carrier bandwidth is 20 MHz, 30 MHz, 40 MHz, 50
MHz, 60 MHz, 70 MHz, 80 MHz, 90 MHz or 100 MHz, and the supported
antenna configurations include 1T1R, 2T2R, 4T4R, 8T8R, 32T32R, and 64T64R.
When the spectrum type is sub-6 GHz, the cell number specification is
expressed as AxB nTnR, indicating A cells, B bandwidth of each cell, and nTnR
antenna configuration.
For example, 3x20/30/40/50/60/70/80/90/100 MHz 64T64R indicates three
cells, where the bandwidth of each cell can be the same (20 MHz, 30 MHz, 40
MHz, 50 MHz, 60 MHz, 70 MHz, 80 MHz, 90 MHz, or 100 MHz), and the cell
antenna configuration is 64T64R. When mixed configuration of cell number
specifications exists, the cell number specifications are connected by using a
plus sign (+).
When multiple sub-6 GHz cells are established on one baseband processing
unit, the bandwidth, TX/RX mode, slot assignment, and frame offset must be
consistent for the cells, and the CPRI/eCPRI interface types must be consistent
for the involved RF modules. From SRAN17.0 onwards, 32T32R and 64T64R
sub-6 GHz cells with the same bandwidth can be configured on the same
UBBPg.
NOTE
When 32T32R or 64T64R cells are configured on the UBBPg3, mixed configuration of
different bandwidths is allowed. For example, when the UBBPg3 is configured with
32T32R cells, the cell number specification is expressed as 3xA 32T32R + 3xB 32T32R,
which indicates three 32T32R cells with bandwidth A and three 32T32R cells with
bandwidth B. A and B can be different.
●
Sub-6 GHz + SUL
NR TDD-sub-6 GHz+NR SUL indicates that sub-6 GHz is used together with
sub-3 GHz (such as n80, n82, n83, n84, and n86) frequency bands. Sub-3 GHz
is used only for transmitting uplink data. The SUL frequency bands n83 and
n82 require 10 MHz bandwidth, and the frequency bands n80, n84, and n86
require 15 MHz or 20 MHz bandwidth.
The SUL cell number specification is expressed as CxD nR, indicating C cells, D
bandwidth of each cell, and nR antenna configuration. For example,
3x10/15/20 MHz 2R/4R indicates three cells, where the bandwidth of each cell
can be 10 MHz, 15 MHz, or 20 MHz, and the antenna configuration is 2R or
4R.
When the spectrum type is sub-6 GHz+SUL, the cell number specification is
expressed using the sum of the sub-6 GHz cell number specification and SUL
cell number specification, that is, AxB nTnR + CxD nR.
For example, 3x40/50/60/70/80/90/100 MHz 64T64R+3x10/15/20 MHz 2R/4R
indicates three sub-6 GHz cells, where the bandwidth of each cell can be 40
MHz, 50 MHz, 60 MHz, 70 MHz, 80 MHz, 90 MHz, or 100 MHz, and the cell
antenna configuration is 64T64R, and three SUL cells, where the bandwidth of
each cell can be 10 MHz, 15 MHz, or 20 MHz, and the antenna configuration
is 2R or 4R.

mmWave
mmWave indicates millimeter wave bands. 3GPP defines the n257, n258,
n260, and n261 bands as mmWave. A high frequency band has a relatively
wide spectrum bandwidth, such as 400 MHz and 800 MHz. However, the
single-carrier bandwidths defined in 3GPP specifications are 100 MHz and 200
MHz, and the supported antenna configurations are 2T2R, 4T4R, and 8T8R.
Therefore, when the spectrum type is mmWave, the cell number specification
is expressed as ExFxG nTnR, where E indicates the number of sectors, F
indicates the number of carriers in each sector, and G indicates the bandwidth
of each carrier.
For example, 3x4x100 MHz 4T4R indicates three sectors, four carriers for each
sector, and 100 MHz bandwidth of each carrier. It can be understood as three
sectors each with 400 MHz or twelve cells each with 100 MHz.
The cell number specifications in mmWave scenarios vary by the CPRI or
eCPRI port used by the baseband processing unit.
When multiple mmWave cells are established on one baseband processing
unit, the bandwidth, TX/RX mode, and slot configuration must be consistent
for the cells, and the CPRI/eCPRI interface types must be consistent for the
involved RF modules. Sub-6 GHz cells and mmWave cells cannot be
configured on the same baseband processing unit.
The following tables list the maximum number of cells per baseband processing
unit in different spectrum type, bandwidth, and antenna configurations. The
baseband processing unit supports the following slot configurations: 7:3, 8:2, and
4:1. Unless otherwise specified, the cell number specifications are supported when
the slot configuration is 7:3, 8:2, or 4:1.

1.2.3.4.3 NR FDD+TDD Technical Specifications of Baseband Processing Units
This section describes the technical specifications of a baseband processing unit
working in both NR FDD and NR TDD modes. NR FDD+TDD co-BBP inherits the
specifications and restrictions from single-mode NR FDD and NR TDD, including
the antenna configuration and cell bandwidth. For example, if NR FDD supports
2T2R and 4T4R baseband specifications, NR FDD in NR FDD+TDD co-BBP
scenarios also supports 2T2R and 4T4R.
NOTE
● In NR FDD+TDD co-BBP scenarios, the Frame Offset parameter must be set to the
same value for NR FDD and NR TDD cells.
● After a single mode is expanded to NR FDD+NR TDD, the specifications (such as
throughput) of the single mode may decrease.
These specifications are as follows:
Table 1-166 NR FDD+TDD technical specifications of baseband processing units
Category
Description
Cell Number
Specifications
● Cell number specifications refer to the number of
cells with different bandwidths and antenna
configurations.
● When a cell is bound to multiple pieces of sector
equipment, the number of cells refers to the number
of pieces of sector equipment or number of sector
equipment groups.
UE Number
Specifications
UE number specifications refer to the number of UEs in
RRC connected mode.
Signaling

Signaling specifications are measured in BHCA. For the
definition of BHCA, see 1.8.2 NR Traffic Model.
Cell Number Specifications
When the baseband processing unit works in both NR FDD and NR TDD modes,
the number of cells is expressed as A+B or A+B+C, where A and B indicate the
number of cells supported by NR FDD and that supported by NR TDD, respectively,

1.2.3.5 Multimode Technical Specifications of Baseband Processing Units
Co-BBP refers to the scenario where a baseband processing unit works in multiple
RATs, including GSM/UMTS/LTE/NR. Co-BBP specifications vary by the UBBP.
●
In this document, G is short for GSM, U is short for UMTS, L is short for LTE
FDD, T is short for LTE TDD, M is short for LTE NB-IoT. N (FDD) is short for
NR FDD and N (TDD) is short for NR TDD.
●
Co-BBP scenarios comply with the specifications of each single RAT.
●
To simplify the description, the maximum number of cells is displayed in coBBP scenarios for each single RAT, instead of the cell number specifications in
all TX/RX modes. Take the UBBPe4 as an example. In UL co-BBP scenarios, the
maximum number of LTE FDD cells is 3x1.4/3/5/10/15/20 MHz 4T4R, and the
cell number specifications in 2T4R, 2T2R, 1T2R, and 1T1R are not enumerated.
3x1.4/3/5/10/15/20 MHz 2T4R/2T2R/1T2R/1T1R is supported by default.
●
The Standard Ratio parameter can be set to FDD_ENHANCE(FDD Enhance),
TDD_ENHANCE(TDD Enhance), NBIOT_ENHANCE(NBIOT Enhance),
NR_ENHANCE(NR Enhance), FDD_ENHANCE2(FDD Enhance 2),
TDD_ENHANCE2(TDD Enhance 2), NR_ENHANCE2(NR Enhance 2), or
UMTS_ENHANCE(UMTS Enhance) for some UBBP boards working in
multiple RATs. Such setting allows LTE FDD, LTE TDD, LTE NB-IoT, NR, or
UMTS to occupy more baseband resources. Unless otherwise specified, the
specifications refer to the co-BBP specifications when the Standard Ratio
parameter is set to DEFAULT(Default).
1.2.3.5.1 LN (TDD) Technical Specifications of Baseband Processing Units
The following table lists the LN (TDD) co-BBP specifications per UBBP.
NOTE
The expression of cell number specifications of each RAT in multimode scenarios complies
with that in single-RAT scenarios.

If GSM is configured with 72 TRXs, each TRX can be configured with only one
SDCCH; if GSM is configured with 24 TRXs, each TRX can be configured with
three SDCCHs.
●
The UL capacity of a UL base station is the same as that of a GUL base
station.
●
In typical GL/UL/LN/GUL/GULN scenarios, LTE FDD and LTE TDD dynamically
share the LTE specifications of the main control board.

●
In typical GL/UL/LN/GUL/GULN scenarios where the specifications of GSM
and UMTS remain unchanged, the LTE FDD capacity of the main control
board is affected after LTE NB-IoT is introduced. That is, LTE FDD and NB-IoT
share the number of LTE FDD cells and number of UEs in RRC connected
mode of the main control board before LTE NB-IoT is introduced.
●
Both LTE and NR cells support multiple bandwidths. For example, LTE FDD
cells support bandwidth configurations of 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz,
15 MHz, and 20 MHz. For simplicity, the cell number specifications of LTE and
NR cells in this section only use the maximum bandwidth. For example, the
20 MHz bandwidth is used for LTE FDD cells.
●
The BBU capacity specification is the smaller value between the total
specification of the main control board and that of the baseband processing
unit. There are many multi-RAT configuration combinations. The following
multi-RAT capacity specifications are provided only in typical configurations.
Signaling Specifications
●
If GSM is configured with 72 TRXs (S24/24/24), each TRX can be configured
with only one SDCCH; if GSM is configured with 24 TRXs (S8/8/8), each TRX
can be configured with three SDCCHs.
●
The following specifications are met only in typical configurations. For
example, the number of SCTP links required for GSM can be reached only
when the typical configuration is used.
●
LTE FDD and LTE TDD dynamically share the signaling specifications of the
main control board. NR FDD and NR TDD dynamically share the signaling
specifications of the main control board.
●
In typical GL/UL/GUL scenarios where the specifications of GSM and UMTS
remain unchanged, the allocation of LTE FDD signaling specifications of the
main control board is affected after NB-IoT is introduced because LTE FDD
and NB-IoT share the LTE signaling specifications on the main control board.
On commercial networks, it is recommended that 30% of LTE signaling
processing specifications be allocated to LTE NB-IoT.

The UL capacity of a UL base station is the same as that of a GUL base
station.
●
In typical GL/UL/LN/GUL/GULN scenarios, LTE FDD and LTE TDD dynamically
share the LTE specifications of the main control board.
●
In typical GL/UL/LN/GUL/GULN scenarios where the specifications of GSM
and UMTS remain unchanged, the LTE FDD capacity of the main control
board is affected after LTE NB-IoT is introduced. That is, LTE FDD and NB-IoT
share the number of LTE FDD cells and number of UEs in RRC connected
mode of the main control board before LTE NB-IoT is introduced.
●
Both LTE and NR cells support multiple bandwidths. For example, LTE FDD
cells support bandwidth configurations of 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz,
15 MHz, and 20 MHz. For simplicity, the cell number specifications of LTE and
NR cells in this section only use the maximum bandwidth. For example, the
20 MHz bandwidth is used for LTE FDD cells.
●
The BBU capacity specification is the smaller value between the total
specification of the main control board and that of the baseband processing
unit. There are many multi-RAT configuration combinations. The following
multi-RAT capacity specifications are provided only in typical configurations.
Signaling Specifications
●
If GSM is configured with 72 TRXs (S24/24/24), each TRX can be configured
with only one SDCCH; if GSM is configured with 24 TRXs (S8/8/8), each TRX
can be configured with three SDCCHs.
●
The following specifications are met only in typical configurations. For
example, the number of SCTP links required for GSM can be reached only
when the typical configuration is used.

LTE FDD and LTE TDD dynamically share the signaling specifications of the
main control board. NR FDD and NR TDD dynamically share the signaling
specifications of the main control board.
●
In typical GL/UL/GUL scenarios where the specifications of GSM and UMTS
remain unchanged, the allocation of LTE FDD signaling specifications of the
main control board is affected after NB-IoT is introduced because LTE FDD
and NB-IoT share the LTE signaling specifications on the main control board.
On commercial networks, it is recommended that 30% of LTE signaling
processing specifications be allocated to LTE NB-IoT.

1.5.5 Multimode Technical Specifications of the BBU3900/
BBU3910
The multimode technical specifications of the BBU3900/BBU3910 include the
capacity and signaling specifications when it works in GSM, UMTS, NR, and LTE
concurrency scenarios.
Capacity Specifications
●
G is short for GSM, U is short for UMTS, L is short for LTE FDD, T is short for
LTE TDD, M is short for LTE NB-IoT. N (FDD) is short for NR FDD and N
(TDD) is short for NR TDD.
●
If GSM is configured with 72 TRXs, each TRX can be configured with only one
SDCCH; if GSM is configured with 24 TRXs, each TRX can be configured with
three SDCCHs.
●
The UL capacity of a UL base station is the same as that of a GUL base
station.
●
In typical GL/UL/LN/GUL/GULN scenarios, LTE FDD and LTE TDD dynamically
share the LTE specifications of the main control board.
●
In typical GL/UL/LN/GUL/GULN scenarios where the specifications of GSM
and UMTS remain unchanged, the LTE FDD capacity of the main control
board is affected after LTE NB-IoT is introduced. That is, LTE FDD and NB-IoT
share the number of LTE FDD cells and number of UEs in RRC connected
mode of the main control board before LTE NB-IoT is introduced.
●
Both LTE and NR cells support multiple bandwidths. For example, LTE FDD
cells support bandwidth configurations of 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz,
15 MHz, and 20 MHz. For simplicity, the cell number specifications of LTE and
NR cells in this section only use the maximum bandwidth. For example, the
20 MHz bandwidth is used for LTE FDD cells.
●
The BBU capacity specification is the smaller value between the total
specification of the main control board and that of the baseband processing
unit. There are many multi-RAT configuration combinations. The following
multi-RAT capacity specifications are provided only in typical configurations.
Signaling Specifications
●
If GSM is configured with 72 TRXs (S24/24/24), each TRX can be configured
with only one SDCCH; if GSM is configured with 24 TRXs (S8/8/8), each TRX
can be configured with three SDCCHs.
●
The following specifications are met only in typical configurations. For
example, the number of SCTP links required for GSM can be reached only
when the typical configuration is used.
●
LTE FDD and LTE TDD dynamically share the signaling specifications of the
main control board. NR FDD and NR TDD dynamically share the signaling
specifications of the main control board.
●
In typical GL/UL/GUL scenarios where the specifications of GSM and UMTS
remain unchanged, the allocation of LTE FDD signaling specifications of the
main control board is affected after NB-IoT is introduced because LTE FDD
and NB-IoT share the LTE signaling specifications on the main control board.
On commercial networks, it is recommended that 30% of LTE signaling
processing specifications be allocated to LTE NB-IoT.

on-hold call: handover, tracking area update (TAU), bearer setup and release, and
switching between the in-synchronization state and the out-of-synchronization
state. BHCA indicates the signaling processing capabilities of a system. A busyhour call initiated on different operator networks involves different types and
numbers of signaling procedures and therefore consumes different amounts of
eNodeB resources. As a result, the BHCA capability varies depending on the call
model.
Based on the definition of traffic model 1, one BHCA (that is, one combined PS
call) is defined by taking every item in traffic model 1 divided by the PS call
