Single Rel.4 subunit allows to allocate:

• 96 Rel.99 CE or
• Up to 80 HSUPA users (FDPCH) / 56 HSUPA users (non-FDPCH) or
• HSUPA throughput up to 35Mbps* or
• 1 PIC pool (Interference Cancellation unit) providing IC for 6 cells at the same time or
• Optional CCCH processing (one CCCH pool = 0,5 subunit / two CCCH pools = 1 subunit) – if needed.

HSDPA schedulers resources automatically allocate 1,625 subunit from each LCG baseband
capacity.

Each LCG has 3x HSDPA schedulers, each scheduler is capable to support up to 240 HSDPA
users but totally max 620 HSDPA users are supported per LCG.

HSUPA scheduler supports up to 620 HSUPA users per LCG.

Single LCG covers up to 12 cells.

Nokia AirScale System Module WCDMA Baseband Capacity

Nokia AirScale System Module does not require CCCH Processing Set license for single Basic Configuration i.e. (3 cells
/ 20 km cell rage / 2 way RxDiv / 4 signatures or 6 cells /10 km cell range / 2 way Rx Div / 4 signatures).

If more cells or higher cell range / Rx Div / # signatures are used then some of CCCH Processing Set LKs and
baseband resources might be needed.

Single LCG covers baseband resources for 3 CCCH pools (e.g. 9 cells/20km/2way RxDiv /4 signatures).
If more resources are required then additional CCCH pools need to be allocated with 0,5 subunit granularity.

No need to allocate extra baseband for most of typical configurations:

• up to 9 cells/20km/2way RxDiv/ 4 signatures

• up to 12 cells/10km/ 2 way Rx Div / 4 signatures.

Note: Configurations mentioned above might require certain amount of CCCH Processing Sets LKs

HSUPA scheduler capacity

HSUPA scheduler is LCG specific and supports up to 12 cells.

HSUPA scheduler supports 620 HSUPA users, however maximum amount of HSPA users might be limited by available
baseband (-> amount of LCG subunits)

HSUPA baseband allocation is done with HSUPA Resource Steps

Single HSUPA Resource Step corresponds to 0,125 subunit (->1 subunit consists of 8 HSUPA Resource Steps)

Available HSUPA Resource Steps are dynamically allocated based on traffic need (# HSUPA users and current L1 throughput).

To avoid “ping–pong” effect (effect in reserving and freeing HSUPA resource steps for/from R99 traffic) 0,125 su is not available
for HSUPA scheduler on top of R99 consumption.

HSUPA Interference Cancellation

• Cells from the same frequency layer (LCG) should be mapped to the same PIC pool unit
• One PIC pool unit consumes one subunit capacity
• One PIC pool supports up to 6 cells – interference cancelation is performed in all 6 cells at
the same time.

RF Chaining sets can be created by combining of 2

LTE mode (L)
RF sets*)
When building up such configuration it is required to check
sec 1 GSM
RP3 capacity to assure that link between System Module and
first RF in chain is able to transmit data from all cells on both LTE
units.
Connection mode to System module is the combination of all RRH 2TX
RATs which cells are deployed on any chained unit.
Available ports for connection to SM.
LTE-GSM mode (LG)

Example on the right – 1L2 + 1LG2 RF sets.

Possible cell configuration: LTE 10MHz + LTE 10MHz + 4 TRXs

 Common Control Channel (CCCH) dimensioning with 1-4 Local Cell Groups
 2-Way RX Diversity
 cell range
 Rel.99 vs. HSDPA vs. HSUPA capacity allocation
 Parallel Interference Cancellation (PIC)
