Activating RAN1202: 24 kbps Paging Channel Activating 24 kbps paging channel


1 Activating 24 kbps paging channelPurposeFollow the procedure below to activate the RAN1202: 24 kbps paging channel feature in the RNC, using RNC object browser.

For more information on the feature, see RAN1202: 24 kbps paging channel in WCDMA RAN, rel. RU20, feature descriptions.

Before you startRestart of the RNC and the WBTS is not required after activation of this feature.

This feature belongs to application software and is under license key management. Make sure you have a valid license (a file including the feature information) installed. To check if the RNC license is activated, use the W7I command. For more information on using the command, see W7 - Licence and Feature Handling.

Before a licensed feature can be activated, the license must be transferred to and installed in the RNC. For information on transferring the license to the RNC, see License management operations in RNC in WCDMA RAN license operation.

You can install the license using NetAct or a local MML interface. If you install the license using NetAct, the feature covered by the license is automatically set to the ON state. For information on license management in NetAct, see Managing Licenses, License Manager Help, Licence Manager Technical Reference Guide, and Licence Manager problems in Troubleshooting System Management Problems in Nokia Siemens Networks NetAct documentation.

If you use the MML interface, you must also set the feature state (ON/CONFIG/OFF). In new installations, the default state is OFF. For the specific instructions on the license installation in the RNC, see W7L INSTALL OR UPDATE LICENCE in W7 - Licence and Feature Handling.

For more information on license management, see License management principles, and License management in WCDMA RAN.

To set the feature state, use the following command:

ZW7M:FEA=<feature code>:<feature state>;

g The feature code (FEA) for this feature is 1485.

With RAN1202: 24 kbps paging channel feature, the PCH has to be mapped to a separate .This means that when 24kbps PCH is activated (licensed and enabled), there must be at least two secondary common control physical channels (SCCPCH) sup-ported in the cell (the maximum number of SCCPCHs per cell is 3).The number of SCCPCHs in a cell is defined by the cell level NbrOfSCCPCHs parameter. With the acti-vation of 24 kbps PCH, the minimum value of NbrOfSCCPCHs parameter should be enhanced to 2. Prior to RAN1202 feature, this minimum value was equal to 1. To enable or disable 24kbps paging channel feature, the PCH24kbpsEnabled parameter is used. It is effective on a cell level and can be modified by object locking.

Activating 24 kbps paging channel

Steps

1 Open the RNC RNW object browser GUI in the RNC element manager.

2 Lock the cell.

3 Update the NbrOfSCCPCHs parameter in the WCEL object.Change the value of NbrOfSCCPCHs (Number of SCCPCHs in the object browser) parameter to 2 or to 3 (if SAB also needs to be configured/activated at the same time). It is required only when the current value of NbrOfSCCPCHs parameter is 1.

g Activation of the 24 kbps PCH is possible ONLY AFTER the feature license state is ON and the NbrOfSCCPCHs parameter value has been changed from the default value 1 to the new value 2 or 3.

4 Enable the feature in the WCEL object.Select the PCH24kbpsEnabled (Activate Deactivate support for 24 kbps PCH in the object browser) parameter and switch it to Enabled value.

5 Unlock the cell.

g Before cell unlocking ensure that the feature license state is ON and the invalid combi-nation of PCH24kbpsEnabled as Enabled and NbrOfSCCPCHs parameter value as 1 is not configured for a cell.

During cell unlock all needed PRBs should check the usage of 24 kbps and should act accordingly.

6 Repeat steps 2-5 for every WCEL object where the 24 kbps PCH requires activa-tion.

Activating 24 kbps paging channel

Expected outcomeThe RAN1202: 24 kbps paging channel feature has been activated in the RNC. The 24 kbps PCH is effective.

Activating RAN1202: 24 kbps Paging Channel Verifying 24 kbps paging channel

Id:0900d8058054751bConfidential

2 Verifying 24 kbps paging channelPurposeFollow the procedure below to verify that the activation of RAN1202: 24 kbps paging channel feature has been successful.

Before you startRequired RNC functional testing environment:

– RNC HW configuration is not significant for this feature. Any HW type (RNC196…RNC2600) can be used and either the ATM or IP transmission.

– BTS should support 24 kbps paging channel.– There are no special requirements for the core network.– MTC calls are needed.– UE should be able to accept 24 kbps PCH. There are no other requirements for the

UE.

StepsImproved PCH throughput is the indication that the feature is activated.

1 Check the status of PCH24kbpsEnabled parameter.PCH24kbpsEnabled (Activate Deactivate support for 24 kbps PCH in the object browser) parameter needs to be in Enabled value to verify that the feature is active.

2 Check PCH throughput with MT calls.Make Mobile Terminal calls. Measure the change in PCH throughput.

Expected outcomeThe activation of RAN1202: 24 kbps paging channel feature has been verified. The 24 kbps PCH is effective.

Deactivating 24 kbps paging channel

3 Deactivating 24 kbps paging channelPurposeFollow the procedure below to deactivate the RAN1202: 24 kbps paging channel feature in the RNC.

Before you startNbrOfSCCPCHs parameter value 3 is used in case of SAB configured in the cell.

Steps

1 Open the RNC RNW object browser GUI in RNC element manager.

2 Lock the cell.

3 Update the NbrOfSCCPCHs parameter in the WCEL object.

g This step is optional. It is not mandatory to modify the number of SCCPCHs to 1 when deactivating this feature. 24 kbps PCH activation requires the support of at least 2 SCCPCHs, but 8 kbps PCH can be activated with any number (1, 2, or 3) of SCCPCHs.

Change the value of NbrOfSCCPCHs (Number of SCCPCHs in the object browser) parameter from 2 or 3 to 1.

Values 1, 2, and 3 (based on SAB) are supported. Value 3 is used in case of SAB con-figured in the cell.

5 Unlock the cell.

6 Repeat steps 2-5 for every cell where the 24 kbps PCH requires deactivation.

7 Change the feature license state.Set the feature license state to OFF using the MML command:

ZW7M:FEA=1485:OFF:;

g The 24 kbps paging channel feature MUST be deactivated for all the cells in the RNC before changing the feature license state to OFF.

Expected outcomeThe RAN1202: 24 kbps paging channel feature has been deactivated in the RNC. The 8 kbps PCH is effective.
