Efficient configuration data preparation for 5G evolution
Objectives: Interconnect WSD and CME. Use GUI and batch delivery mode of base station configuration where resources can be
verified in real time. The aim is to efficiently implement site reconstruction and generate configuration data in 5G evolution
scenarios.
Step 1: Design base station site at the wireless site design (WSD) cloud
platform.
Step 3: The CME uses the BTS configuration (equipment parameter) from
WSD. The wireless and transmission planning parameters are imported to
quickly generate base station configuration scripts.
Input IP address of the CME cloud

server according to actual
circumstances.
Step 2: Input live network data into WSD, and then export the

Intra-band CA
• CA users can use remaining RBs from multiple CCs in areas with In the overlapped coverage areas of multiple carriers, available
overlapped coverage from multiple CCs. frequency resources of multiple carriers are used to provide CA UEs
• The edge user rate is provided for CEUs to improve the edge coverage. with larger bandwidth and higher rate experience. Currently, the
RAN2.0 supports intra-band continuous CA and non-continuous CA.

Customer benefits:
• In the NR system, the CA feature supports a maximum of 2 CCs on low- Change of CA status:
frequency band and a maximum of 4 CCs on high-frequency band. This
increases the DL peak throughput of a single UE. The CA peak
throughput is equal to the sum of the single-carrier throughput.
Feature sales mode:
• To support the commercial feature, the cell-level Intra-band CA license is
added.
Restrictions:

UL/DL Decoupling Feature
• Poor UL weak coverage when C-band is used
• SUL carriers are introduced. UEs with limited UL on C-band use
SUL to perform UL data services.
Background:
• DL coverage is better than UL coverage on C-band Use sub-3 GHz (such as 1.8 GHz) for UL and 3.5 GHz for DL. This
due to large DL transmit power of the gNodeB and supports enhanced UL coverage and co-site deployment.

• NUL and SUL (1 : 1) are deployed on the same site.
• The UL spectrum resources are shared by LTE and
NR, thereby the feature is dependent on the L-NR UL
