Overview
The purpose of the commissioning process is to add a new eNodeB
into the LTE network. The final outcome of this process is a
eNodeB that is ready for commercial service. This document
covers the network commissioning procedures of the
commissioning process. The field operation procedures are
covered in the Huawei DBS3900 LTE Operation Procedure
(Reference 1) .The complete commissioning process involves the
coordination of the field operations team that performs the field
test and the commissioning team that performs the network
procedures.
Network commissioning is divided into Commissioning Preparation
(Pre-load) and Commissioning (Execution) phase.
Commissioning preparation loads each eNodeB configuration on
EMS and create a commissioning prior to eNodeB connectivity.
Commissioning execution occurs after hardware installation and
backhaul connectivity. Ethernet port connectivity triggers DHCP
and the commissioning auto deployment task. A health check
report is provided when the auto deployment task is finished.
This document explains the network commissioning process and
the following sections should be followed in the order they appear.

Figure 1: Network Architecture

eNodeB Overview

4.1

BBU Chassis

The section describes the hardware components of the BBU

chassis. We will overlay new LTE components on the same WiMAX
BBU chassis. Standard commissioning involves a single BBU
(Baseband unit) chassis connected to 3 RRUs (Remote Radio Unit).

Figure 2: BBU with 3 RRUs

The BBU chassis has the following cards installed:

The BMPT is the main processing and transmission board for

The LBBPc is the baseband processing and radio interface
unit for LTE.
The BBBI is the baseband processing and radio interface unit
for WiMAX.
The UPEU is the chassis power supply unit.
The fan unit for the chassis.
The BSBC is the backplane of the chassis and provides power

supply and service channels for each board.

Figure 3: BBU Chassis Slot Locations

The typical new eNodeB will have one LMPT, one LBBPc, and 2
UPEU. The FAN and BSBC modules are standard components.

4.2

RRUs

The remote radio unit (RRU3702) receives RF signals and then

transmits the processed signals to the BBU or the antenna
system. The RRU are connected to the LBBP card via fiber and to
the antenna via coaxial jumpers. The Huawei RRU3702 is a MIMO
4 transmit and 4 receive (4T4R) system that can support multiple
carriers which was originally designed for WiMAX. Since overlay
LTE on the existing RRU, WiMAX will use 2T2R (A and B) ports of
RRU. LTE will use 2T2R (C and D ) ports of RRU.
Since the RRUs are external to the chassis, they are configured as
RRU chain. Default is 0, 1, 2. Each RRU chain will bind LBBP and
RRU CPRI port. The RRU and cell related configuration will be build
on this chain. RRU will be configured as 60, 61 and 62 by default
Figure 4 shows the RRU locations as depicted in EMS.

Commissioning Preparation (Non-Maintenance

Window)
Configuration data includes golden parameters, RF and IP design
data from Clearvision, hardware design data from SAP (Site
Action Plan).
Use the auto deployment function in M2000 to prepare the
software, commissioning task, cold patch, hot patch, configuration
data, DHCP information and eNodeB icon in the topology view.
RET and Environment alarms are configured on the WiMAX.

5.1

Planning Data Preparation

In preparation for LTE eNodeB commissioning, a LTE summary

data file and a common configuration template are used to
generate eNodeB configuration data. The LTE summary data file
that contains hardware, network, and RF configuration must be
created for each eNodeB. This is the responsibility of the
commission team. Data for these files come from the market IP
planning list and Clearvision. These files are used to configure the
eNodeB from EMS. The common configuration template contains
default parameters and is preloaded in the EMS.

configuration for each eNodeB

Note: If the same parameters are defined in both the summary

data file and the template, the value in the summary data file
will overwrite the data in the template.

5.1.1

LTE Summary Data File

The LTE summary data file is a Microsoft Excel file that is

imported into the Configuration Management Express (CME)
component of the EMS as part commissioning preparation. The
summary data file defines which parameters need to provided.
Parameter values for multiple eNodeB can be filled out in one
summary data file to facilitate bulk commissioning. Yellow
background columns need to adjust according to each
market/core/M2000. Blue background columns need to adjust
according to each eNodeB design data.

5.1.2

How to get LTE Summary Data File

Please contact with Jeff Fry ([email protected]) or Nicole

([email protected]) to get the LTE Summary Data File.

5.1.3

Common Configuration Template

Parameters such as device parameters, radio parameters, and

algorithm parameters that are common for eNodeBs are defined in
the common configuration template. This template is preloaded in
the EMS and is referenced by the LTE Summary Data File.

5.2

client access. Installation of the client can be performed via the
Huawei EMS web interface. Please follow the next steps to install the
EMS client.

field tech install Ethernet cable to GE/FE0 or GE/FE1.

DSP SFP was used for check each eSFP port status of
LBBP. You could find transmission rate, power (Tx and Rx),
multi mode or single mode. This could be used for CPRI link
troubleshooting.

DSP ARP was used for check each port next hop
configuration. Switch port may be configured wrong next
hop and VLAN. This could help us to identify if DHCP
function doesnt work in the field.

14. If additional MML configuration is needed, it can also be

added.

10

Enable RF Transmission
During the configuration and software upgrade of the eNodeB, the
RF transmission was disabled. The sectors must now be enabled
in order to perform field validation. Follow the following steps:
1. Select Maintenance->MML Command.

2. In the NE tree, select the eNodeB to bring up the MML

command interface.

3. Execute the command ACT CELL for each of the sectors and
carriers to enable RF. Sectors and carriers are 0-indexed.

4. Check the sector and carrier status by executing DSP CELL.

This will list all the cells and Cell Instance State should
appear as Normal.

11

Clear Alarms
During the commissioning process some alarms are generated
that must be cleared manually:
1 Minor RF Unit ALD Switch Configuration Mismatch
Execute LST RET to check if there is no RET device, please
use command MOD RETPORT to switch off RET port. This
alarm will be cleared.

2 Minor RF Unit ALD Current Out of Range

The actual power could be 30mA, however the low threshold
was configured as 40 by default. So execute MOD RETPORT
to change threshold the same as WiMAX with standard
configuration. You need to select USER_SELF_DEFINE. The
recommended standard value are as bellow for WiMAX and LTE
dual mode sites:
<ALDPwrSwitch>1</ALDPwrSwitch>
<OverCurrAlmClrThreshld>180</OverCurrAlmClrThreshld>
<OverCurrAlmOccThreshld>200</OverCurrAlmOccThreshld>

<UnderCurrAlmClrThreshld>15</UnderCurrAlmClrThreshld>
<UnderCurrAlmOccThreshld>10</UnderCurrAlmOccThreshld>

3 Major ALD Maintenance Link Failure.

Execute SCN ALD to clear the alarm in both LTE and WiMAX.

The following steps explain how to clear other alarms.

1. Select Monitor->Current Fault Alarms.

2. In the Filter dialog, uncheck Cleared on the Base Setting

tab.
3. On the Alarm Source tab, select Objects selected from the
device object tree and click Select This will launch the

8. Select the alarms above, right-click and select Clear.

9. Confirm the clearing of the alarms.

10. If there is no alarms, you could just skip this step.

12

Enable Access Barring (If Required)

During the configuration and software upgrade of the eNodeB, the
RF transmission was disabled. The sectors must now be enabled
in order to perform field validation. Follow the following steps:
5. Select Maintenance->MML Command.

6. In the NE tree, select the eNodeB to bring up the MML

command interface.

7. Execute the following command for each cell and tracking

area:
MOD CELLOP: LOCALCELLID=<cell id>,
TRACKINGAREAID=<tracking area id>,
CELLRESERVEDFOROP=CELL_RESERVED_FOR_OP;

13

Verifying Operational Status

After the commissioning is complete, the eNodeB status must be
verified before performing drive tests. Refer to Huawei DBS3900
LTE Limited ATP guide and Huawei DBS3900 LTE Full ATP guide.

14
