AIR INTERFACE L76494 128608 LA1.1 Radio Load Noise Simulator This eNB feature delivers the ability to simulate neighbor cell
radio DL loading/interference as well as intra-cell radio activity in
case of single-user performance tests and access network
Common Base
AIR INTERFACE L96854 128816 LA1.1 Downlink Transmit Schemes in LA1.1 This feature defines the transmit mode for PDSCH (DL shared
data channel) LTE release LA1.0 and LA1.1:
Transmit diversity only
OL SU-MIMO: Rank adaption between large-delay CDD, when
having multiple-layer transmission and transmit diversity, when
having single-layer transmission. Calls shall start in transmit
diversity, i.e. assuming rank 1.
CL SU-MIMO only: Rank adaptation and precoding adaptation
using the 3GPP codebook Calls shall start assuming rank 1.
Adaptation between Transmit diversity and OL/CL SU-MIMO
All DL control channels are transmitted via transmit diversity
(PCFICH, PHICH and PDCCH)
Common Base
AIR INTERFACE L96853 128815 LA1.1 UE Emission control in 700MHz Upper C block This feature uses over-provisioning of PUCCH mechanism to
provide receiver protection and UE emission control on the
uplink. The over-provisioned PUCCH area shall be used to
support PUSCH, where the defined A-MPR can be fulfilled. At
lower band edge, PUSCH must be supported with lower power
(subject to A-MPR limitation imposed by 3GPP for band 13, CR
R4-090902 in March 2009) while PUSCH shall be supported in
middle and upper band edge with normal power.
This feature is specific to band 13.

RRM L97915 128824 LA1.1 Scheduling Evolutions This feature defines the scheduling solution aiming at
differentiating the access to the air interface to different type of
applications such as VoIP, GBR and non-GBR data traffic.
The dynamic resource allocation (DRA) or packet scheduling
(PS) role is to allocate and de-allocate resources (including
buffer and processing resources and resource blocks) to user
and control plane packets.
The DRA feature consists in involving several sub-tasks,
including the selection of radio bearers whose packets are to be
scheduled and managing the necessary eNB and air interface
resources (e.g. the power levels or the specific resource blocks
used). The DRA feature may also take into account restrictions
or preferences on some of the available resource blocks or
resource block sets due to inter-cell interference coordination
considerations (not in LA2.0).
The PS feature part typically takes into account the QoS
requirements associated with the radio bearers, the channel
quality information for UEs, buffer status, interference situation,
etc.
Also used for RAC and congestion control features, the DRAPS
solution across e-UTRAN releases will benefit from hereafter S1-
AP SAE Bearer QoS parameters.
SAE Bearer QoS parameters:
o AMBR (from LA1.0)
o SAE bearer list: SAE Bearer Level QoS Parameters

RRM L97917 128826 LA1.1 Bearer Mgt & Applications The feature defines the QoS parameters to consider for a
Bearer Management solution allowing differentiating the various
types of bearer.
It also specifies the maximum number (up to 3) of simultaneous
bearers to support per user connection in that EUTRAN release
as far as the terminal vendor roadmaps are defined so far.
The feature is also requesting for the support of the RRC_idle as
fallback state from RRC_connected state in case of data
inactivity period of a connected user.

INTERFACES & STANDARD COMPLIANCEL82729 128681 LA1.1 S1 Flex Introduction This feature creates the ability for the S1 interface to be a multi-
to-multi interface, where one node in E-UTRAN can be
connected to multiple MME / SGWs for different terminals.
This implies that an eNodeB must be able to determine which of
the MMEs covering the area where an UE is located, should
receive the signalling sent from a UE.
UL transport packet marking with Diffserv Code Point: based
upon QCI.
eNB UL transport packet routing when multiple S1 are
provisioned (local routing) : route to one of many S1 paths.

MOBILITY L97916 128825 LA1.1 Lossless Intra-LTE Mobility In E-UTRAN RRC_CONNECTED state, network-controlled UE-
assisted handovers are performed. In E-UTRAN RRC_IDLE
state, cell reselections are performed. This feature is describing
mobility for both RRC_CONNECTED and RRC_IDLE based on
criterion for best radio conditions.
Assumption is that neighbors are known by each eNB, or at
least each eNB can map identifiers provided by UE in
measurement reports onto neighbor nodes. Configuration
Management for Neighbor Cell List and Automatic Neighbor
Relation (ANR) function are not part of this feature.
Following mobility modes are supported by this feature:
- Inter-MME mobility management (S1 flex)
- Intra-LTE intra-frequency cell reselection based on radio
measurements in RRC_IDLE
- Intra-LTE intra-frequency handover based on radio
measurements in RRC_CONNECTED

OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS L76506 128613 LA1.1 Self Configuration of eNB Network deployment is one of the early phases of network
operations. For a customer, it is an expensive phase since it
involves installing each and every eNodeB site. Since the sites
are spread over a large area, the personnel in charge of the
installation cannot always be technical experts. Most of the time,
site installation is performed by subcontractors with only minimal
training on the system being deployed.
Therefore, the commissioning of each eNodeB must be as
simple as possible for the on-site technician. It should be limited
to installation and cabling of the eNodeB HW, with as few
actions as possible. The rest of the configuration must be
feasible remotely, from the XMS.
Ultimately, the eNodeB should be plug and play: cable it and
power it on, then leave the site. No usage of local terminal
should be mandatory.
Additionally on the element manaqement side, it shall be possible
to provision the full configuration of the eNodeB before it is
installed and connected to network. Then, when the eNodeB
comes up, the whole setup must be applied automatically so that
the eNodeB comes online as soon as possible.
Self configuration of eNB will be completed in phases. This
feature is Phase 1 will and will include automatic establishment
of connection between the eNB and element management
system and automatic remote provisioning of the logical
configuration but the HW configuration must be manually
provisioned on site by the technician. Phase 2 will be in a later
release and will automatic software upgrade provide and
automatic remote provisioning of the HW configuration.

This feature is to support basic mobility capability for UE moving
from an LTE radio coverage to GSM radio coverage. The
capability provided by this feature enables the LTE-to-GSM
mobility of a multi-mode UEs in RRC_IDLE mode, which allows a
UE leaving LTE coverage to recover service in GSM coverage,
as soon as it gets available, i.e. radio conditions are sufficiently
good. It also enables LTE-to-GSM mobility in
RRC_CONNECTED mode where an UE with an on-going packet
data session that is the leaving of an LTE coverage island via
RRC release and redirection. RRC release/redirect provides a
network based mobility control for a RRC-connected UE when
PS handover or NACC procedure are not supported by the UE
and the network. Redirection capability allows the eNB to for the
UE to perform a cell reselection to a target cell based on target
cell measurement or configuration when LTE radio condition has
degraded below a pre-defined threshold, and the GSM neighbor
cells is better than a threshold if UE can support GSM neighbor
cell measurement without measurement GAP. Comparing to
drag-and-drop, RRC release and redirection can improve end
user experiences by redirecting the UE to the under-laying GSM

capability provided by this feature enables the LTE-to-UMTS
mobility of a muilti-mode UEs in RRC_IDLE mode, which allows
a UE leaving LTE coverage to recover service in WCDMA
coverage, as soon as it gets available, i.e. radio conditions are
sufficiently good. It also enables LTE-to-UMTS mobility in
RRC_CONNECTED mode where an UE with an on-going packet
data session that is the leaving of an LTE coverage island via
RRC release and redirection. RRC release/redirect provides a
network based mobility control for a RRC-connected UE when
PS handover is not supported by the UE and the network.
Redirection capability allows the eNB to for the UE to perform a
cell reselection to a target cell based on neigbor cell
measurement or configuration when LTE radio condition has
degraded below a pre-defined threshold, and the UMTS neighbor

AIR INTERFACE L84816 128699 LA2.0 Support group hopping for PUCCH
and PUSCH
Standard allows group hopping (applies to both PUCCH and
PUSCH) and sequence hopping (applies to PUSCH only). The
group and sequence hopping allows auto-configuration of root
sequence (CAZAC) and the base sequence within the sequence
group for each cell such that the UEs within each cell can be
orthogonal to each other and UEs served by neighboring cells
will also be using different cyclic shift + root sequence. Hopping
can reduce cross-correlation and interference between UEs
from different cells. Without group hopping, each cell is assigned
with a fixed root sequence and careful planning of the root
sequence is needed. Since there are only 30 groups, when
group hopping is disabled, it is possible to have root sequence
overlapping with neighboring cells (note a LTE cell is the
coverage area of the broadcast channel. So one sector is a cell)
if the cluster is larger than 30 cells. This is not an issue for trial
that has up to 30 cells in a cluster. When the number of eNBs

CAPACITY & PERFORMANCE L100622 127981 LA4.0 Support Fiber delay (or any delay
between modem and RF head) in
LTE
The fiber connection between LTE modem and radio
(RRH/TRDU) adds delay to eNB timing. This delay impacts
PRACH processing due to the round trip delay which skews the
RACH preamble arrival time at the eNB. The eNB must adjust
the center of its search window so that the search window range
of the eNB can be used fully for cell range. In addition, there
may be other digital delay within the eNB and/or other external
delay beyond the radio due to DAS (Distributed Antenna
System) fiber or use of repeaters. The external delay can also
be accounted for in this feature as long as the total delay of ALU
equipment and external delay is within the compensation range.

Common Base
OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS L115218 128235 LA5.0 Support for eNB Software Patching This feature is intended to enhance the software management of
the eNodeB by:
Rebuilding only those software executable files that have
changed
Downloading only those software executable files that have
changed
Activating a new software load with the least disruptive actions
possible.
Rebuilding and downloading only those software executable files
(SEFs) that have changed is an important step to facilitate
patching and to reduce software download and activation times.
For LTE, a "patch" is a complete load build with a unique name
and version just like any other load but the thing that makes this
a patch is that only one (or a small number) of SEFs have
changed from the previous load. The other SEFs are the same.
If the eNodeB can recognize and download only those SEFs that
have changed, software download times are reduced. But the
bigger advantage comes because software activation times can
also be reduced. The eNodeB resets only the boards that are
affected by the changed SEFs, for example, a modem reset or
a RF module (RFM) reset instead of a complete eNodeB reset.
