1 System-level description

1.1 Description of direct configuration operationsRadio network configuration management includes creating, modifying and deleting network managed objects; cell locking and unlocking; and resetting Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) Base Transceiver Station (BTS).

Configuration management can be done by mass operations performed and controlled by NetAct or with smaller parameter changes. Smaller day-to-day parameter changes and site creations and expansion procedures are performed with network element specific Element Managers or direct activation operations from NetAct. In a mass oper-ation, Radio Network (RNW) configuration changes are distributed to the network as plan files with separate download and activation procedures. For more information on mass operations, see WCDMA RAN Mass Operations.

Radio Network Controller (RNC) RNW configuration can be managed locally with an RNC Element Manager application called RNC RNW Object Browser. The RNC RNW Object Browser provides the user with a general view on the managed objects in the radio network. The RNC RNW Object Browser can be used for the following operations:

• configuring and modifying an RNC • creating a new WCDMA Base Station (WBTS) site and modifying, deleting, and

resetting a WBTS • creating, modifying, and deleting a WCDMA Cell (WCEL), and locking and unlocking

a WCEL • creating, modifying, and deleting an Intra-frequency Adjacency (ADJS), Inter-fre-

quency Adjacency (ADJI), and Inter-system Adjacency (ADJG) • creating, modifying, and deleting an Intra-frequency Handover Part (HOPS), Inter-

frequency Handover Part (HOPI), and Inter-system Handover Part (HOPG) • creating, modifying, and deleting a an Intra-frequency Measurement Control

(FMCS), Inter-frequency Measurement Control (FMCI), and Inter-system Measure-ment Control (FMCG)

• creating, modifying, and deleting a WCDMA Location Services Entity (WLCSE) • creating, modifying, and deleting a WCDMA Authorized Network (WANE), WCDMA

Subscriber Group (WSG), and WCDMA Serving Mobile Location Centre (WSMLC) • creating, modifying, and deleting a Connection Configuration Object (COCO) • creating IP over ATM Termination point • opening fault management • viewing RNC, WBTS and WCEL alarm details • viewing license and option states • viewing WBTS connection resources

If the RNW configuration is changed with the RNC RNW Object Browser, the RNC sends a notification of the parameter change to NetAct, so that NetAct can update the new parameter value to the RNW configuration data.

ATM Cross-connection (AXC) and BTS configuration can be managed with AXC and BTS element managers. The BTS Site Manager is used to manage both WCDMA FlexiBTS and UltraSite WCDMA BTS. BTS Site Manager for FlexiBTS includes BTS Manager for BTS management and Transport Manager for transmission management (FTM). BTS Site Manager for UltraSite includes only BTS Manager for BTS manage-

ment. AXC is managed with AXC Manager. The BTS Manager connects to BTS with BTS Manager - BTS O&M interface which uses XML formatted messages over HTTP. The AXC and Transport Manager use NWI3 interface. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used for file transferring.

With the BTS Manager the user can:

• monitor BTS HW and SW configuration and state • monitor BTS alarms • monitor licensing status • monitoring clock synchronization • commission BTS • update BTS SW • block and unblock BTS and/or some of its HW • reset BTS • fetch PM data and log files • execute tests and fetch test reports • execute user authentication

With the AXC and Transport Manager the user can:

• monitor alarms • fetch performance data • import, export, and delete licences • view own permissions • execute test functions (loopbacks) • save log files for troubleshooting • import and export site configuration files for commissioning • change individual parameter (for example, adding/removing IP routes or Cross-Con-

nections) • execute troubleshooting actions like reboot and recovery • save commissioning reports

If the AXC or FTM configuration is changed with Transport Manager, NetAct does not get information of the changed configuration. However, NetAct can upload AXC or FTM configuration data regularly to have up-to-date configuration data in NetAct.

BTS Manager can be used for occasional local configuration changes. NetAct is not informed of the local changes.BTS manager can be used also remotely through the RNC (RAN1246: WBTS EM Manager Launch from RNC).

It also possible to perform direct operations from NetAct to individual RNC and BTS parameter settings in the RNW configuration.

1.3 System-level functionalities

1.3.1 Direct activationDirect activation is executed when the operator wants to make small configuration changes to the network with NetAct. These small configuration changes can be targeted to the RNC and/or BTS parameters.

Direct activationActor: NetAct Radio Access Configurator user

Tools: NetAct Radio Access Configurator

Frequency: Several times a day

1. Select a network element and modify a certain parameter with NetAct Radio Access Configurator CM Editor.

2. NetAct sends configuration change request to the RNC.3. The RNC checks the new parameter value and stores the parameter to the RNW

database.4. In the case of an RNC parameter, RNC takes the parameter into use.5. In the case of a BTS configuration parameter,

a) The RNC sends the new parameter values to the BTS.b) The BTS checks the parameter and stores the new parameter value.c) The BTS takes the parameter into use.d) The BTS sends acknowledgement to the RNC.e) If the parameter change can not be activated without clearing the traffic from the

cell, the BTS starts the Block Resource (3GPP NBAP) procedure and resets.6. The RNC sends acknowledgement to NetAct, and NetAct shows the status of the

operation to the user.7. NetAct updates new parameter values to NetAct RNW configuration data.

The network element configuration has been changed. New object/parameter values have been taken into use and stored to NetAct, the RNC RNW database (and BTS con-figuration data).

Object creation and deletion and WCEL lock and unlock operations with direct activation are similar to parameter modification.

Radio network configuration management objects

2 Radio network configuration management objectsEach controlled network element and conceptual entity in the network is represented by a logical object, each of which has an object collection of its own and is associated with a number of parameters that define its behavior. As illustrated in Figure Logical structure of the RNW management objects some object types are divided into subtypes. For example, Frequency Measurement Control (FMC) is divided into Intra-Frequency Mea-surement Control (FMCS), Inter-Frequency Measurement Control (FMCI), and Inter-System Measurement Control (FMCG). Because the set of parameters differs from one subtype to another, each of these subtypes has to be an object in its own right.

The logical objects are hierarchically related to each other, as reflected in the structure tree of the RNC RNW Object Browser. The object hierarchy dictates the order in which it is possible to create objects. It is not possible, for example, to create an ADJx object before the corresponding WCEL objects have been created. A WCEL object, in turn, can only be created if a WBTS object has already been created.

The object hierarchy is also enforced when objects are deleted. For example, when a WBTS object is deleted, all the WCEL objects under it are automatically deleted. The logical structure of the RNW management objects is shown in Figure Logical structure of the RNW management objects. Radio network managed objects and their logical relations are stored in the RNC RNW database.

2.1 RNCRNC refers to the logical object of RNC. Exceptionally, there are no create or delete operations associated with the RNC object. The RNC managed object contains RNC level parameters.

2.2 IUCS, IUPSThe IUCS managed object contains connection settings towards a particular MGW. The IUPS managed object contains connection settings towards a particular SGSN.

These objects contain the configuration for the Iu-CS and Iu-PS interfaces. For instruc-tions on configuring these interfaces, see Configuring Iu-CS parameters of RNC and Configuring Iu-PS parameters of RNC in Administering Radio Networks. The maximum number of IUCS and IUPS core managed objects in RNC is 32.

2.3 IURThe IUR managed object contains neighboring RNC-related parameters. For instruc-tions on configuring this interface, see Configuring Iur parameters of RNC and in Admin-istering Radio Networks. The maximum number of IUR managed objects in RNC is 32.

2.4 IPQMThis object is used in configuring the features IP Based Iu-CS and IP Based Iu-PS. The maximum number of IPQM managed objects in RNC 8.

2.5 TQMThis object is used for configuring feature RAN1253: Iub Transport QoS. The maximum number of TQM managed objects in RNC is 4.

2.6 Connection configuration (COCO)A logical connection configuration object (COCO) is created to reserve local transmis-sion resources for each WCDMA BTS. A COCO object displays the transmission resources at the Iub interface, but not the actual radio network topology.

This object is needed only when ATM transport is used for the BTS. Before creating a COCO, the corresponding ATM interface has to be created. For instructions on creating an ATM interface, see Creating ATM resources in RNC in Managing ATM Resources in RNC.

The maximum number of radio network COCO objects in the RNW database follows the number of supported BTSs under the RNC.

2.7 Frequency measurement controlA frequency measurement control (FMC) object contains information concerning the fre-quency measurement functionality of RNC. The maximum number of frequency mea-surement objects within one category is 100. A logical FMC object is created so that its parameters can be used in WCDMA cell definitions. One FMC can be related to several WCDMA cells. FMC objects must be created before they can be used by WCELs.

There are three types of FMC objects:

• FMCS = object for intra-frequency measurement control • FMCI = object for inter-frequency measurement control • FMCG = object for inter-system frequency measurement control (optional)

2.8 Handover pathA handover path (HOP) object stores the values used in handover and call drop decision making. The maximum number of HOP objects within one category is 100. A logical HOP object is created so that its parameters can be used in adjacent WCDMA cell def-initions. One HOP can be related to several adjacency objects of the same group.

There are three types of HOP objects:

• HOPS = object for intra-frequency HOP, which contains, for example, parameters that affect hard handover decision and call drop decision procedures

• HOPI = object for inter-frequency handover path • HOPG = object for inter-system handover path (optional)

For more information about handover, see Handover control in WCDMA RAN RRM Handover Control.

2.9 WBTSA WCDMA BTS (WBTS) is the logical object of the WCDMA base station. A logical WBTS object is created to manage BTS-related telecom and radio resource configura-tion. A WBTS can host 24 WCDMA cells. Depending on the transport technology used for the WBTS (ATM or IP), either COCO objects (ATM transport) or IPNB objects (IP transport) can be related to the WBTS object. It is possible to create a WBTS without a reference to any COCO objects when the WBTS is not yet integrated to RNC.

For more information on transport configuration, see .

The maximum number of the WBTS’s in the RNW database is 2800.

Supported NodeB capacity

For RNC196, the maximum number of WBTSs is 384 in the basic configuration, but if the optional feature RAN607: Connectivity Support for 512 BTSs is enabled, the maximum number of the WBTSs is 512.

For RNC450, the maximum number of WBTSs that can be configured by the operator depends on the availability of feature RAN1623: Carrier Connectivity Optimised RNC450. For more information, see RAN1623: Carrier Connectivity Optimised RNC450 in WCDMA RAN System, Rel. RAS06, Feature Descriptions.

For more information on license-controlled capacity, see RAN1198: RNC2600 SW License Key Controlled Capacity in WCDMA RAN, Rel. RU10, Feature Descriptions.

2.10 WCELA WCDMA cell (WCEL) is the logical object of the WCDMA cell. A logical cell object is created to define the configuration of the WCDMA BTS site.

The following objects have to be created before creating WCELs:

• a parent WBTS • IUCS (CS CN node to be used) • IUPS (PS CN node to be used) • FMCSs for RT and NRT traffic (also FMCI/FMCG if needed) • used WRAB

Supported WCDMA cell capacity

For RNC196, the maximum number of the WCDMA cells that can be configured by the operator is 1152. For the number of operational cells, see .

For RNC450, the maximum number of WCDMA cells that can be configured by the operator depends on the availability of feature RAN1623: Carrier Connectivity Opti-mised RNC450. For more information, see RAN1623: Carrier Connectivity Optimised RNC450 in WCDMA RAN System, Rel. RAS06, Feature Descriptions.

Adjacencies are defined for neighboring cells. Depending on the type of cells for which this relationship is defined, there are three different types of adjacencies:

• ADJS = object for intra-frequency adjacency • ADJD = object for additional intra-frequency adjacency • ADJI = object for inter-frequency adjacency • ADJG = object for inter-system adjacency (optional)

Handover path objects must be created before they can be used by ADJx objects.

2.12 WSMLCA WSMLC object contains general purpose parameters used in the positioning methods. The actual SMLC device does not exist, but the SMLC functionality in the Interface Control and Signalling Unit (ICSU) is configured using WSMLC parameters. In the RNW database, there can be only one WSMLC object.

WSLMC and WLCSE objects can only be created if feature RAN2.0041: LCS – Cell Coverage Based (RTT) with Geographical Coordinates is supported.

For more information, see .

2.13 WLCSEWCEL-related parameters needed by location algorithms are defined in a WLCSE object collection. The WLCSE parameters must be defined for each cell that is used in location calculation in RNC. The parameters must also be defined for cells controlled by the neighboring RNCs that are used in location calculation in the locating RNC.

A WLCSE object in a WLCSE object collection is identified by using the UTRAN cell identifier, which must be unique in the RNC (in the RNW database). In the RNW data-base, there can be a total of 6000 WLCSE objects of which 2800 are for the RNCs own cells and 3200 for the neighboring RNCs' cells.

WSLMC and WLCSE objects can only be created if feature RAN2.0041: LCS – Cell Coverage Based (RTT) with Geographical Coordinates is supported.

2.16 CMOBRNW CM supports limiting access rights to the network (allowed/restricted) that is broadcast to all user equipment (UE) in the system information message on access level basis. In a normal situation, the network access is allowed for all access levels. If the network access needs to be limited because of the aforementioned reasons, the operator can activate the access control algorithm, which allows and restricts the network access of access levels 0 to 9 users at predefined intervals.

A CMOB object contains RNW parameters used in traffic restriction. Traffic restriction is introduced in the optional feature RAN1128: Dynamic Access Class Restriction, which means that this object is optional as well. One CMOB object contains parameters for one restriction area. One WCDMA cell can be connected up to 3 restriction areas, which must have different types (CS-DSAC, PS-DSAC and RNAR). The maximum number of CMOB objects under one RNC is 13. If feature RAN801: Radio Network Access Regu-lation Function is enabled in RNC, RNC creates three 'forced' CMOB objects during RNC startup or RNC object creation.

For more information, see RAN801: Radio Network Access Regulation Function in RAS05.1 Operability Features.

2.17 WRABA WRAB object contains connection-based quality control parameters. The parameters define the service bearer and signalling bearer quality targets and the related power control thresholds for each transport channel configuration.

The maximum number of WRABs in the RNW database is 5.

2.18 IPNBAn IPNB object contains the NBAP link configuration for the WBTS with the IP-based Iub interface.

3 Radio network configuration management in RNC

3.1 OverviewRadio network configuration management (RNW CM) offers the operator means to control the configuration and functionality of network elements in RAN. Radio network configuration management is a general (non-optional) feature.

RNW CM consists of mass operations performed and controlled by NetAct as well as single managed object changes and site creation/expansion procedures performed with the RNC RNW Object Browser. For more information on RNW CM mass operations, see WCDMA RAN Mass Operations.

RNW CM performs tasks that are triggered by different events within the system. These include NodeB audit procedure and NodeB resource status indication.

The Radio Access Network (RAN) is made up of a number of physical network elements (NEs) (for example, RNC and WCDMA BTS) as well as a number of conceptual entities (for example, adjacencies and handover paths). RNW CM refers to the operation of con-figuring these network elements and conceptual entities. In the RNC object model, the managed physical network elements and the conceptual entities are treated as logical objects.

RNW CM includes creating, modifying, and deleting network managed objects, locking and unlocking cells, and resetting WCDMA BTS. All of these procedures are accessible through the RNC RNW Object Browser. The radio network configuration can be changed locally in the RNC using the RNC RNW Object browser, or remotely from NetAct.

RNW CM provides also services for updating cell states. A cell's administrative state can be updated by a user making a cell lock or unlock operation. The operational state is updated by the system and visible to the user. RNW CM provides statistics for cell state changes.

To have a functioning RNW, the needed RNW objects must be created and the transport layer must be configured. For more information about the transport layer and connection configuration, see .

3.1.1 Roles in RNC

RNW maintenance engineerThe RNW maintenance engineer is the operator/user of NetAct or the RNW Object Browser, who triggers configuration management procedures by making administrative updates to RNC RNW.

The RNW maintenance engineer manages a number of logical configuration manage-ment objects to control their physical counterparts in the radio access network (RAN). For example, the RNW maintenance engineer may create a WCDMA base station (WBTS) object, and adjust the parameters of the object to control the behavior of a certain base station in the field.

Radio network configuration management in RNC

RNC application softwareRNC offers services for storing RNW configuration data to the RNC RNW database in different configuration situations in logical RNW objects as well as keeping radio network configuration up-to-date.

Features can be activated and deactivated through configuration management inter-faces with feature-specific activation parameters.

RNC RNW configuration management in OMU handles cell state information and number of link connection statuses. Any changes in these statuses are informed to the OMS and NetAct counterparts. OMU CM recognizes a number of fault conditions and communicates these with RNC Fault Management services. For more information, see WCDMA RAN Fault Management.

RNW CM uses the feature and option management functionality for checking optional feature states to allow a particular configuration. For more information, see Licence-based Feature Management.

RNW CM performs a number of updates based on the system functionality by other network elements and general configuration changes during the normal operation of RNC. These activities are between network elements as well as within the RNC IPA plat-form. In both cases events to OMS and NetAct can be triggered.

Reconfiguring the RNC or reconfiguration support to the BTS are examples of these functionalities.

OMSOMS offers the users a graphical user interface: RNC RNW Object Browser. It can be used to configure the managed objects, thus determining how the radio access network functions. For more information, see RNC RNW Object Browser in Administering Radio Networks .

RNW object management in OMS provides the functionality to read and modify RNW topology and parameters. In RNC RNW Object Browser startup, the current RNW topology is read from the RNC RNW database over an EMT connection between RNC OMU and OMS, and the data is stored to the Object Browser’s memory. Managed object modification is also done over an EMT connection from OMS (Object Browser) to OMU.

The RNC RNW Object Browser includes RNW connection configuration management. The RNW Connection Configuration dialog enables the user to monitor, add and edit BTS connection configurations and their parameters. For more information, see Using Element Manager in RNC OMS.

CM events are mediated from RNC to the Object Browser and NetAct via OMS. The functionality is provided by Event Management in OMS.

3.1.2 Radio network configuration management eventRadio network events/CM events originate from RNC OMU and are mediated via OMS to Object Browsers and NetAct. A CM event is sent as a consequence of managed object parameter change (modification), managed object creation, and managed object deletion. An update may also be caused by state updates made by the system.

RNC OMU has buffer for events. OMS will follow the CM event sending progress and request resending from OMU if the event is not successfully delivered to OMS or NetAct.

3.2 Radio network configuration management functionality in OMSThe RNW CM functionality in OMS provides ways to manage the RNW database and maintain the consistency of the configuration both in the RNW database system and in RNC.

3.2.1 WBTS resource reservation during a management operationOMU CM controls BTS resource management in RNC. BTS configuration in RNC is reserved for each individual configuration operation that is related to a WBTS, WCEL, or ADJS/I/G/D object. Configuration reservation is needed to preserve the consistency of the managed data. Several RNW Object Browser instances can be used to perform configuration changes in RNC. The resource reservation functionality ensures that those parallel instances do not perform operations to the same BTS at the same time.

3.2.2 Operation history in the RNC RNW databaseThe RNW database is located in the OMU CU in the RNC. The RNW database contains the configuration data and the control parameters of the RAN controlled by the RNC.

The following information is stored for each managed object:

• the date and time of the last configuration action • the origin of the management operation (RNW plan, RNW Object Browser, or Direct

Activation)

Adjacency object types (ADJS/I/G/D) are an exception. These objects do not have an object-specific record of the time and date of the last configuration action. Each adja-cency object type has only one record of that information within the parent WCEL object. The record is common for all the adjacency object instances of the same type.

3.2.3 Support for optional featuresA configuration interface is provided for a licensed feature whose feature state is On or Config in RNC. If the feature is not controlled by a license, a configuration interface is provided for an optional feature that is indicated to be active by a separate control parameter.

Licence information is also used to restrict configuration operations. OMS CM prevents illegal configuration according to the feature status information provided by license man-agement services.

OMU CM provides OMS counter processes optional feature state information.

OMU CM SW performs data validation when data is received from OMS. Data validation in OMU is more comprehensive than the validation done in OMS.

RNW CM provides license information to RNW Plan Management in RNW plan opera-tions. For more information on license and option management, see Licence-based Feature Management.

3.2.4 Updating CM information in RNC and BTSOMU CM is responsible for updating the changed configuration and parameter data to all interested entities and domains within RNC. If any such update does not succeed,

Page 24: System Library

24 DN70227178Issue 2-1

WCDMA RAN Direct Configuration Operations

Id:0900d8058060a07d

possible errors related to a specific configuration operation is returned to the operator. Typically these operations are creation/modification/deletion/state changes of the RNW object instance.

Also changes to RNW may affect the update of incoming adjacencies or delete incoming adjacencies procedures.

OMU CM keeps track of local BTSs as well as cell status, and triggers in RNC several update procedures towards BTS. Typically such an operation can be, for example, Cell setup, Cell reconfiguration, common channel setup, or System information update request.

3.2.5 Administrative cell locking/unlockingAn administrative state configuration service is provided to the operator through different interfaces. The user can manually lock and unlock a cell resource through the RNC Element Manager dialog. Cell locking in the BTS site can be used to restrict the use of a cell, for example, because of a major parameter change. The BTS shutdown proce-dure is used for avoiding the loss of traffic. The BTS O&M decides the used timer according to the local site configuration. The system provides feedback of the operation to the user in the Object Browser. For more information, see .

3.2.6 Feedback caused by RNW CMCM sends feedback to the RNW Object Browser as a reply for a management operation.

Each feedback message contains information of the requested operation status. If the CM operation is stopped because of any error during the process, the operation is not continued further. A feedback message containing the error status in a suitable field of the feedback message is sent.

The db status field indicates the following:

• main status, which indicates the status of RNW data checking • db status, which indicates the status of the requested database operation • delivery status, which indicates the status of parameter distribution in the system • coco status, which indicates the status of the connection configuration operation • ef status, which indicates the status of the RNW event • conf data status, which indicates the status of the configuration data update • sys info status, which indicates status of system information request update • cell init status, which indicates the status related to cell configuration procedures • common measurement status, which indicates whether measurements were

started, terminated, or restarted successfully or unsuccessfully

3.3 RNW configuration data validationConfiguration data parameters are checked in the RNC RNW Object Browser and by the RNW Configuration management in OMU.

Configuration data validation can be divided into the following subcategories:

• Checking required by the feature functionality • Parameter data value checking • Parameter range checks

Consistency checkThe RNW database consistency check is a service that is requested by plan manage-ment during the download of the RNW plan. The same consistency rules apply to the configuration tasks done by Element Manager.

In principle, the parameter data in different RNW objects is compared to each other to confirm that the data is consistent according to the parameter relationship definitions (for more information, see WCDMA Radio Network Configuration Parameters)

RNW configuration consistency check rulesFor more information on rules applied in consistency check, see Appendix.

3.4 Direct activation of a RNW planThe direct activation of the RNW plan makes it possible to update single objects directly to the active database (ACTdb) without a need for separate RNW plan download (pre-activation) and activation.

NetAct sends the object data to RNC which checks the data content and makes the modification directly to the active database. NetAct can send direct activation requests for the following objects and operations:

Only one object is accepted in each direct activation.

WCEL lock, unlock, create, modify, and delete

WBTS create, modify, and delete

COCO create, modify, and delete

WLCSE create, modify, and delete

Adjacencies (ADJI, ADJS, ADJG, ADJD) create, modify, and delete

3.5 ATM-based Iub link configurationA logical connection configuration object (COCO) is created to reserve local transmis-sion resources for the WCDMA BTS. Before creating a COCO, the corresponding ATM interface has to be created. For instructions on creating an ATM interface, see Creating ATM resources in RNC in Managing ATM Resources in RNC.

A COCO object displays the transmission resources at the Iub interface, but not the actual radio network topology.

The maximum number of radio network COCO objects in the RNW database follows the number of supported BTSs under the RNC.

The process of creating a connection configuration consists of two separate phases:

1. ATM layer configuration/ATM layer checkThe ATM layer Virtual Path (VP) and Virtual Channel (VC) termination point config-uration can be created to the system through MML commands or from NetAct with the ATM plan interface. The ATM layer VP and VC level entities can be also config-ured to the system during COCO object creation.

2. Control/user plane configuration (COCO - WBTS connection)Control/user plane configuration is initiated during COCO creation if the COCO ID or ATM interface/VPI/VCI triplet of the CNBAP link is found in a WCDMA BTS object.

The connection configuration link categories are the following:

• C-NBAP, one for the WCDMA BTS • D-NBAP, there is one for the FlexiBTS type of BTS or one D-NBAP link to each

WAM unit of the UltraSite BTS. The maximum number of D-NBAP signalling links in the COCO is 6.

• AAL2 signalling = the signalling link for the AAL2 user plane/user data connections. There is one AAL2 signalling link to the FlexiBTS type of the BTS and for the Ultra-Site BTS that has the BTS AAL2 multiplexing feature enabled (AXU-B/C/D), or one AAL2 signalling link to each WAM unit of the Ultra Site BTS with AXU-A. The maximum number of AAL2 signalling links in the COCO is 6.

• AAL2 user plane/user data (AAL2 Path), the AAL2 user plane connection leads to the AAL2 termination point in the WBTS. The maximum number of AAL2 user plane connections in the COCO is 18.

Connection configuration operations are mainly user-originated. A COCO object can be managed in the COCO GUI in the RNC RNW Object Browser (see figure below), or with a RNW plan. For more information on the use of the RNC RNW configuration, see WCDMA RAN Mass Operations.

The following functionalities are provided by connection configuration management:

• COCO creation • COCO modification • COCO deletion • COCO connect • COCO disconnect • COCO information inquiry • O&M link (IPOA) creation

3.5.1 COCO creationCOCO object creation can be started by the operator through RNW plan management interfaces or in the COCO GUI. This operation creates a COCO object in the RNW database and the needed resources to the system by using IPA platform services and databases.

For more information, see Managing ATM Resources in RNC.

1. COCO object creation requestThe request for creating the COCO object and the related connections is sent to the connection configuration manager. The request may include the automatic ATM VP/VC link termination point creation option enabled. The related ATM interface and its access profile as well as the physical layer entities (SDH/PDH) have to be created beforehand in the system.

2. Plan operation checkThe plan operation situation is inquired from RNW plan management. If a plan oper-ation is already ongoing, the whole COCO operation will be interrupted.

3. Parameter checkParameters are checked to guarantee that the COCO has been properly configured and that the COCO configuration does not exceed the scope of the current license. If an incorrect configuration is detected, the whole scenario is aborted and an acknowledgement message is sent to the service request with corresponding error status values.

4. ATM layer resource configurationIf the ATM termination point configuration option is enabled, the needed ATM termi-nation points are created in the system before creating the COCO object in the RNW database. ATM termination points are created by the ATM resource manager provided by the IPA platform and stored to the ATM resource management data-base.The VPLtp(s) can be used by several COCO objects and the VPLtp can exist in the system when the automatic ATM configuration option is used. If the ATM termination point configuration is not enabled, the system verifies that ATM termination points existiin the system. Each COCO can have from one (default) to six VCLtps in use.ATM layer parameters can be configured with MML commands, the ATM plan inter-face, or part of COCO configuration when the COCO GUI or RNW plan manage-ment can be used.If AAL2 user plane links are bundled, the needed bundle is also created in this phase of COCO object creation. For more information, see RAN1099: Dynamic Scheduling for HSDPA with Path Selection and RAN1100: Dynamic Scheduling for NRT DCH with Path Selection in WCDMA RAN System, Rel. RAS06, Feature Descriptions.

5. COCO object creation in RNW databaseAfter successful ATM TP and VCC bundle configuration the COCO object is created in the RNW database.

6. WBTS check/COCO connectIf the corresponding WBTS for the COCO object is found in the RNW database, the operation continues with control/user plane creation.If the RNW database does not contain a WBTS object for this COCO, the control and user plane configuration part is skipped. A COCO object without control and user plane is called 'unconnected COCO'.

7. WBTS reservationThe WBTS object is reserved from the database system for this operation to prevent other users from attempting to update the object at the same time.

8. Control/user plane configurationControl/user plane configuration consists of two phases. In the first phase, the fol-lowing terminations for control plane links are created: • C-NBAP, one link connected to the master WAM of the WCDMA BTS • D-NBAP, one link to each WAM. The maximum number of D-NBAP signalling

links in the COCO is 6. • AAL2 signalling, signalling link for the AAL2 user plane/user data connections.

If the BTS AAL2 multiplexing feature is not enabled, there is one link to each WAM. The maximum number of AAL2 signalling links per COCO is 6.

The IPA platform provides control channel management services to create these ter-minations and the information is stored to the file.The AAL2 user plane connection is leading to the AAL2 termination point in the WBTS. The maximum number of the AAL2 user plane connections in the COCO is 18.If AAL2 user plane links are bundled, the ATM end points are associated with the created bundle(s) in this phase.AAL2 user plane-related numbering on the Iub interface can either be set manually or generated during the connection configuration creation. The numbering related to each AAL2 user plane VCC is A2EA (AAL type 2 endpoint address) and AAL2 path identification.The digit analyses of the Iub interface are created in the tree (IubDATree) given in COCO creation.User plane configuration consists of the creation of the following resources:a) route(s)b) ATM end point(s) and VCC bundle(s)c) AAL2 path IDs and A2EA addresses to each AAL2 user plane VCCd) digit analysisWhen creating the needed resources, the IPA platform services are used for: • configuring the needed ATM layer resources for the COCO • configuring the needed ATM end points • creating and deleting ATM routes • creating digit analysis for routes • inquiring information from the platform database • inquiring signalling links • unblocking the AAL2 path • storing ATM configuration informationIf the control/user plane configuration is executed successfully, the relation between the COCO and the WBTS logical objects is created in the RNW database.For more information, see Managing ATM Resources in RNC and Configuring Routing and Digit Analysis in RNC.

9. AAL2 path unblockingThe AAL2 path has to be unblocked before any AAL2 data channels can be reserved from the related AAL2 VCC. Unblocking is performed by using the IPA

Page 30: System Library

30 DN70227178Issue 2-1

WCDMA RAN Direct Configuration Operations

Id:0900d805806e31ba

platform service. The AAL2 path is identified by the AAL2 path id (related to the AAL2 user plane VCC – ATM end point).The alarm 7761 RNW O&M SCENARIO FAILURE indicates that the AAL2 path is not yet unblocked successfully. The alarm is set for each user plane link and cleared after successful unblocking.

10. COCO updateControl/user plane configuration data is updated to the COCO object in the RNW database.

11. WCEL state updateIf the COCO was successfully connected to the WBTS object (link configuration and COCO – WBTS relation creation), the state of the related WBTS is updated.

12. WBTS releaseThe reservation of the WBTS object, done at the beginning of the operation in the RNW database, is released.

13. COCO eventThe connection configuration manager informs the RNW Object Browser and NetAct through OMS about the COCO object creation by sending an event.

14. COCO creation acknowledgementAn acknowledgement message is sent to the service request with corresponding error status values.

3.5.2 COCO modificationCOCO object modification can be started by the operator through RNW plan manage-ment interfaces or in the COCO GUI. This operation modifies the parameters in the COCO object. Some parameter modifications request object locking (locking the related WBTS).

1. COCO object modification requestThe request for modification of the COCO object and the related connections is sent to the connection configuration manager. The user may define whether the cre-ation/deletion of the corresponding ATM termination points for the new/deleted links is performed as well.All COCO parameters are included in the modification request. The connection con-figuration manager checks the need for the modification against the current config-uration.If the COCO is related to the WBTS (actual links are already being created), the user is responsible for checking and changing the WCEL states related to the WBTS if necessary. The related WCELs must be locked before the COCO modification for the connected COCO can be executed. The connection configuration manager checks the state information, but does not initiate any state change actions for the active WCELs in a local operation.

2. Plan operation checkThe plan operation situation is inquired from RNW plan management. If a plan oper-ation is already ongoing, the whole COCO operation will be interrupted.

3. COCO checkThe connection configuration manager reads the COCO parameters from the RNW database. If the object does not exist, the scenario is aborted and an acknowledge-ment message is sent to the service request with corresponding error status values.

4. Parameter checkThe parameter check in the COCO modification operation consists of:

Page 31: System Library

WCDMA RAN Direct Configuration Operations

Id:0900d805806e31ba

• checking the input, that is, the new COCO parameters, as in COCO creation • determining the modified parts by comparing the new input parameters with the

old COCO object in the database5. WBTS reservation

If the COCO is related to the WBTS, the connection configuration manager checks whether all WCELs are in the locked state if the modified parameters request object locking. If not, and if the modification operation is originated by plan management and automatic object locking is enabled, automatic object locking is executed.The WBTS object is reserved from the database system for this operation to prevent other users from attempting to update the object at the same time.

6. Control/user plane deletionOld control/user plane resources are deleted according to the modification list in COCO parameter checking. In the following cases, the old CU plane will be deleted: • TPI (IF/VPI/VCI) is modified. • The PCR or CDVT values of the VCC are changed. • The related AAL2 signalling TPI is changed for AAL2 UP link. • The AAL2 UP Usage value of AAL2 UP link is changed. • The MDCR or UBR share values of the UBR+ VCC are changed. • The AAL2 path type or VCC bundle usage is changed. • The service category is changed.

7. ATM modificationIf the automatic ATM layer configuration was included in the request, the following required actions (subscenarios) are started: • The ATM layer of the removed NBAP, AAL2 signalling and AAL2 UP links is

removed as well. • ATM termination point modifications are performed (changes to the PCR and

CDVT values, MDCR and UBR share for UBR+ link). • New termination points are created in the system.

8. VCC bundle modificationWhen a VCC bundle is taken into use, the system creates a corresponding bundle. When a VCC bundle is taken out of use, the system deletes the corresponding bundle. The system deletes and recreates the corresponding ATM end points during modification.

9. Control/user plane (re)configurationIf the COCO object is related to the WBTS, the control/user plane configuration for the new and modified parts of the connection configuration must be created.

10. AAL2 path unblockingFor the connected COCO, the AAL2 paths of the new AAL2 UP links have to be unblocked. The unblocking is performed so that also the previously created AAL2 paths that are still in the blocked state are unblocked at this phase.If the unblocking fails the alarm 0x7761 is set to indicate that the AAL2 path is not yet unblocked successfully. The alarm is set for each user plane link. If the unblocking fails, alarm 7761 RNW O&M SCENARIO FAILURE indicates that the AAL2 path is not yet unblocked successfully. The alarm is set for each user plane link.

11. COCO updateThe connection configuration manager modifies the COCO object in the RNW data-base. All successfully performed operations are updated to the database.

12. WCEL state updateIf the modification was successful, the WCEL states are updated to 'connection con-figuration ready'.

13. WBTS releaseThe reservation of the WBTS object, done at the beginning of the operation in the RNW database, is released.

14. COCO eventThe connection configuration manager informs the RNW Object Browser and NetAct through OMS about the COCO object modification by sending an event.

15. COCO modification acknowledgementOMS is informed about the result of the modification procedure.

3.5.3 COCO deletionDeleting a COCO object can be requested by the operator through RNW plan manage-ment interfaces or the COCO GUI. This operation removes certain COCO objects from the RNW database and deletes the related resources from the system.

1. COCO deletion request2. Plan operation check

The plan operation situation is inquired from RNW plan management. The proce-dure is the same as in COCO creation.

3. COCO checkThe connection configuration manager reads the COCO parameters from the RNW database.

4. WBTS reservationThe WBTS object is reserved from the database system for this operation to prevent other users from attempting to update the object at the same time.

5. Control/user plane deletionIf the COCO object is related to the WBTS object, the control/user plane is deleted first.If parts of the deletion fail, the following steps are executed:a) User plane resources (digit analysis, AAL2 Path ids and A2EA addresses, end

points, end point groups, and routes) are deleted from the system.b) Control plane resources (terminations for C-NBAP, D-NPAB, and AAL2 signal-

ing links) are deleted.c) COCO object data in the RNW database is updated according to the deleted

resources.d) WCELs' states are changed to 'failure in connection configuration' state.e) The WBTS object reservation is released.Note that any unsuccessfully deleted parts of the COCO object are kept in the RNW database, and the deletion request can be repeated, for example, in case of a tem-porary failure in the system.

6. ATM deletionIf automatic ATM layer handling is enabled, the ATM resources are removed from the system, including the ATM resource management database.

7. COCO removalThe COCO object is removed from the RNW database and a COCO deletion event is sent to OMS/NetAct.If the control/user plane configuration and the ATM configuration was only partly deleted, the deleted parts are removed from the COCO object with a modify opera-tion. In that case the COCO object is not removed from the database. A modify event is sent.

8. WCEL state updateIf the database action was successful and the WBTS was related to the COCO, WCEL states are changed to the 'waiting for connection configuration' (BL-WF-COCO) state.

9. WBTS releaseThe reservation of the WBTS object, done at the beginning of the operation in the RNW database, is released.

10. COCO deletion acknowledgeThe user is informed about the result of the deletion procedure.

3.5.4 COCO connectThis operation is executed when a WBTS is created or modified and the COCOId is associated with the WBTS.

1. COCO checkThe connection configuration manager reads the COCO parameters from the RNW database. If the object does not exist, the scenario is aborted and an acknowledge-ment message is sent to the service request with corresponding error status values.

2. Control/user plane configurationSee step 2 in COCO creation.

3. AAL2 path unblockingSee step 9 in COCO creation.

4. COCO updateThe control/user plane data is updated in the COCO object in the RNW database.

5. WCEL state updateIf the COCO was successfully connected to the WBTS object (link configuration and COCO-WBTS relation creation), the states of the related WBTSs are updated.

6. COCO eventThe connection configuration manager informs the RNW Object Browser and NetAct through OMS about the COCO object connection by sending an event.

7. COCO connection acknowledgementAn acknowledgement message is sent to the service request with corresponding error status values.

3.5.5 COCO disconnectThis operation is executed when a WBTS is deleted or modified and the COCOId is associated with the WBTS.

In the disconnect operation control/user plane and database relations are removed as in COCO deletion (see COCO deletion), but the COCO object is not deleted from the database, and ATM layer resources remain in the system.

3.5.6 COCO information inquiryWhen the COCO dialog is opened in the RNC RNW Object Browser, the COCO-related data is fetched from the RNW database and IPA platform storages by the connection configuration manager.

3.5.7 O&M link (IPOA) creationFor each WBTS, the IP over ATM connection is required to carry O&M traffic, for example, alarms. The O&M link is not part of tje COCO object, but the needed ATM layer resources can be created in the COCO GUI by choosing New IP over ATM. The con-nection configuration manager is responsible for creating the resources to the system. For more information, see Integrating RNC.

3.6 IP-based Iub link configurationThe IP transport option is introduced in 3GPP Release 5 as an alternative to ATM trans-port. This option affects the architecture of the transport in terms of protocols, function-ality and network configuration. The following figure presents the protocol stacks.

There are two managed objects related to IP-based Iub link configuration that have special relevance: IPNB and TQM.

The IPNB (IP Iub NBAP) object contains the C-NBAP and D-NBAP definitions for the IP Iub interface. There is reservation for one C-NBAP and six D-NBAP link attributes in the object.

One IPNB can be connected to the WBTS object. When the IPNB is connected to the WBTS, the COCO object cannot be connected to the WBTS, and vice versa. The maximum number of IPNB objects is the same as the maximum number of WBTS objects.

Control plane configuration is done with an IPNB object. IP parameters needed for the user plane are modified in the WBTS object.

The TQM (Transport QoS Management) managed object contains mapping information from the RAB characteristics to the ATM and IP transport QoS differentiation. The infor-mation is used in UTRAN transport bearer establishment. The maximum number of TQM objects in the RNC is 4. Configuring a TQM object is not mandatory for the operator because it is related to an optional feature.

IPNB operationsIP-based Iub link configuration can be done locally with the RNC GUI (RNC RNW Object Browser) or through the RNW plan interface from NetAct. Configuration is possible only if a valid license for the feature is available. The prerequisite for successful IPNB oper-ations is that the IP layer is already configured either through the local MML interface (for more information, see Configuring IP Connection for RNC) or through the IP plan interface from NetAct.

3.6.1 IPNB creation1. IPNB object creation request

The request for creating the IPNB object and the related connections is sent to the connection configuration manager.

2. Plan operation checkThe plan operation situation is inquired from RNW plan management. If a plan oper-ation is already ongoing, the whole IPNB operation will be interrupted.

3. Parameter checkParameters are checked to guarantee that the IPNB object has been properly con-figured, and that the IPNB configuration does not exceed the scope of the current license. If an incorrect configuration is detected, the whole scenario is aborted and an acknowledgement message is sent to the service request with corresponding error status values.

4. IPNB object creation to the RNW databaseThe connection configuration manager creates the IPNB object in the RNW data-base.

5. WBTS checkThe connection configuration manager checks if the corresponding WBTS for the IPNB object is found in the RNW database, and that IP-based Iub is allowed as its transport media, which is defined with a WBTS parameter (IubTransportMedia).

6. WBTS reservationThe WBTS object is reserved from database system for this operation to prevent other users from attempting to update this object at the same time.

7. IPNB connectThe IPNB object is connected with the WBTS object by the connection configuration manager if the WBTS check was successful.

8. NBAP link creationThe connection configuration manager requests NBAP link creation from the IPA platform.

9. WBTS releaseThe reservation of the WBTS object in the RNW database, done at the beginning of the operation, is released.

10. IPNB eventThe connection configuration manager informs the RNW Object Browser and NetAct through OMS about the IPNB object creation by sending an event.

11. IPNB creation acknowledgementAn acknowledgement message is sent to the service request with corresponding error status values.

3.6.2 IPNB modification1. IPNB object modification request

The request for modifying the IPNB object and the related connections is sent to the connection configuration manager.

2. Plan operation checkThe plan operation situation is inquired from RNW plan management. If a plan oper-ation is already ongoing, the whole IPNB operation will be interrupted.

3. Parameter checkParameters are checked to guarantee that the IPNB object has been properly con-figured. If an incorrect configuration is detected, the whole scenario is aborted and an acknowledgement message is sent to the service request with corresponding error status values.

4. WBTS checkThe connection configuration manager checks if the IPNB is already connected with a WBTS.

5. WBTS reservationThe WBTS object is reserved from database system for this operation to prevent other users from attempting to update this object at the same time.

6. IPNB disconnectIf the IPNB is already connected with a WBTS, and if C-NBAP or D-NBAP signalling traffic parameters need to be modified, the connection configuration manager will disconnect the IPNB from the WBTS.

7. NBAP link deletionIf the IPNB was disconnected from the WBTS, the corresponding NBAP links are deleted.

3.7 Dual Iub link configurationThe Dual Iub feature provides transport bearers towards one BTS over both ATM and IP. With the Dual Iub feature, the HSPA traffic is carried over the IP transport and common channels, and R99 DCH transport bearers are carried over the ATM transport channel.

OperationsDual Iub-based Iub interfaces are configured by combining an ATM-based Iub configu-ration and an IP-based Iub configuration.

ATM Iub configuration is performed according to basic ATM configuration rules. For more information, see ATM-based Iub link configuration.

The IPNB object is not configured for a Dual Iub-based Iub feature. The IP configuration for the user plane is done in the WBTS object. The IP layer has to be configured first.

Limitations and restrictions

7 Limitations and restrictionsDirect activationThe 'Direct Activation of RNW changes using NWI3' feature allows the following opera-tions to the following objects:

• WCEL: lock, unlock, create, modify, and delete • WBTS: create, modify, and delete • COCO: create, modify, and delete • WLCSE: create, modify, and delete • Adjacencies (ADJI, ADJS.ADJG): create, modify, and delete

NetAct user can give one direct activation request per RNC at a time. The request can include one object and one operation. However, it is possible to modify several param-eters with one modification command.

Automatic object locking can not be used in direct operations. If parameter modification requires object locking, object has to be locked by changing the AdmCellState param-eter value to ‘Locked’ in the modification request. Object unlocking requires an own direct activation operation.

Direct activation request can not be executed during plan operations (plan upload, roll-back, download or activation).

RNW configuration plan management

• Only one RNW plan can be processed at a time. • Local changes may be restricted during RNW plan operations because of RNW db

reservations. • Local changes made by the Object Browser are overwritten if a NetAct user modifies

the same parameters before downloading and activating the new RNW plan. • Direct activation of a RNW plan makes it possible to update only the specified single

objects directly to the active database (ACTdb) without a need for a separate RNW plan.
