2 Overview of Green BTS

With the rapid growth of the telecom industry and the continuous expansion of telecom networks, the demand for electricity has grown significantly and the telecom industry has to incur huge financial costs. In addition, the overuse of energy has resulted in overexploitation of natural resources and has brought about the rapid deterioration of the environment. High energy consumption and rapid environmental deterioration have become huge challenges for the telecom industry. Hence, telecom operators are in high demand for cost-effective and environment-friendly solutions to save energy, reduce pollution, and thereby contribute towards a green and healthy environment.

To achieve this goal, Huawei has developed the green BTS feature, which provides the following functions:

Dynamic cell shutdown

Energy efficiency improvement

Intelligent power-off

Management of the solar power system and diesel generator

2.1 Dynamic Cell Shutdown

During a certain period of time, the traffic density or traffic volume in a cell may be relatively low. In such a case, the dynamic cell shutdown function hands over some UEs from this cell to other inter-frequency same-coverage neighboring cells (referred to as "neighboring cells" in the section of dynamic cell shutdown) if certain load conditions are met. Subsequently, this cell is shut down to reduce the power consumption. Figure 2-1 shows dynamic cell shutdown.

Figure 2-1 Dynamic cell shutdown

In a multi-band network, enable the dynamic cell shutdown function with caution. The reason is that UEs supporting only some of the bands will fail to access the network if cells with these bands are shut down.

2.2 Energy Efficiency Improvement

The power amplifier (PA) output power of a base station fluctuates depending on the traffic load. If the PA output power is high, the PA efficiency is also high.

The PA is the main power-consuming component of the base station. Therefore, improving the PA efficiency can reduce the overall power consumption of the base station, thus saving energy and

WCDMA RAN




2-2

reducing the costs of network operation. The PA efficiency is associated with the peak power of output signals and the static power consumption of the PA. The static power consumption is determined mainly by the offset voltage of the PA. To reduce the static power consumption and improve the PA efficiency, the base station adjusts the PA offset voltage based on the PA output power, which fluctuates depending on the traffic load.

When the PA output power is high, the PA offset voltage should also be high to ensure the linearity of power amplification, thus reducing signal distortion. When the traffic load is low, the PA output power decreases. In this case, however, the PA offset voltage remains unchanged, which leads to low PA efficiency because the static power consumption is high. Therefore, when the PA output power decreases, the PA offset voltage needs to be lowered to reduce the static power consumption and to improve the PA efficiency.

The principle of the energy efficiency improvement is that the PA offset voltage can be adjusted on the basis of the PA output power. Thus, in the case of low PA output power, the offset voltage is adjusted to reduce the power consumption and to improve the PA efficiency.

This solution is mainly applied to the following scenarios:

In the early stage of network deployment, the maximum configured output power is not reached because of low traffic load.

In the areas where the traffic load varies with time, for example, in some central business districts (CBDs), the traffic load is very high during the day but very low at night, which results in fluctuations in the PA output power.

In inter-frequency same-coverage networking, a cell is shut down automatically, which results in a fluctuation in the PA output power.

2.3 Intelligent Power-Off

Generally, the base station receives power from the mains. A power backup system with large-capacity batteries is configured for the base station. The purpose is to enable the base station to operate in the case of power failure and to increase the operation time span of the base station after power failure. This entails an increased investment in the power backup systems. In addition, the base stations consume more power, increasing the operating expenditure.

Therefore, based on different DC voltage thresholds and cell power-off priorities, intelligent power-off is performed on the cells, radio frequency (RF) modules, and base station to increase the service time span of the power backup systems.

The intelligent power-off function reduces the investment in the power backup systems and saves energy. If the base station is located in a transmission center, there is no need to configure the power backup systems for the base station and transmission equipment respectively.

2.4 Management of the Solar Power System and Diesel Generator

Solar energy is inexhaustible in supply and is one of the most non-polluting energy forms. Therefore, more sectors are tapping solar energy as alternative power. With the development of solar technologies and improvement of photovoltaic products, the solar power system is introduced into the base station because of its little impact on the environment and high reliability. Thus, the base station can achieve the goal of energy efficiency and environmental protection.

The solar power system consists of the solar power device, solar power controller, and batteries. It supplies power for the base station after converting sunlight into electricity and stores surplus power in batteries. The base station can manage the solar power system through the solar power controller, thus improving the operability and maintainability.

WCDMA RAN




2-3

The base station can also manage both the solar power system and the diesel generator through the solar power controller. The solar power system and the diesel generator can work in a cooperative manner, where the diesel generator is a supplement to the solar power system. This solution ensures uninterrupted power supply in special situations, such as in consecutive rainy days or in a period without sufficient sunshine. It has little impact on the environment and provides high reliability. This solution can be customized to meet different requirements.

3 Technical Description

3.1 Dynamic Cell Shutdown

This section describes the feature WRFD-020117 Multi-Carrier Switch off Based on Traffic Load.

The RNC-level switch for dynamic cell shutdown function can be set through the parameter DynCellShutDownSwitch.

The cell-level switch for dynamic cell shutdown function can be set through the parameter DynShutdownSwitch.

3.1.1 Procedure of Dynamic Cell Shutdown

Traffic load varies with time. For example, the traffic load in some central business districts is very high during the day and requires multiple cells for services, but the traffic load is very low at night. To adapt to this condition and avoid frequent shutdowns due to power fluctuations, you can set an effective period for the dynamic cell shutdown function. Figure 3-1 shows the procedure of dynamic cell shutdown.

Figure 3-1 Procedure of dynamic cell shutdown

As shown in Figure 3-1, cell A and cell B are inter-frequency same-coverage neighboring cells, between which blind handover can be performed.

The function of dynamic cell shutdown can be turned on through the parameter DynShutdownSwitch, and at most three different effective intervals can be configured for a day.

The parameter DynShutDownType determines the mode of cell shutdown, forcibly or dynamically.

If the DynShutDownType parameter is set to FORCESHUTDOWN, the cell is shut down forcibly within the effective period.

If the DynShutDownType parameter is set to CONDITIONALSHUTDOWN, the cell is shut down dynamically within the effective period.

The procedure of dynamic cell shutdown is as follows:

1. The RNC periodically checks whether the cell meets the following conditions:

WCDMA RAN




3-2

− The total number of UEs is below the total user number threshold of dynamic cell shutdown (TotalUserNumThd).

− The number of HSDPA UEs is below the HSDPA user number threshold of dynamic cell shutdown (HsdpaUserNumThd).

− The number of HSUPA UEs is below the HSUPA user number threshold of dynamic cell shutdown (HsupaUserNumThd).

− The load margin of a neighboring cell is above the load margin threshold of neighboring cells during dynamic cell shutdown (NcellLdrRemainThd).

− No MBMS services, CBS services, or UEs on common channels exist in this cell.

− If the cell to be shut down is a dual-carrier high-speed downlink packet access (DC-HSDPA) cell, there is another DC-HSDPA cell in the same coverage so that DC-HSDPA UEs can be handed over to this cell.

If all the preceding conditions are met, the RNC triggers a cell shutdown and performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC repeats the previous operations.

A DC-HSDPA cell can be shut down only when other DC-HSDPA cells exist in the same coverage and the requirements for handover of DC-HSDPA UEs are met. If other DC-HSDPA cells do not exist in the same coverage, the DC-HSDPA cell cannot be shut down.

2. The RNC starts a handover-waiting timer T1 (30s) and hands over the UEs from this cell to the inter-frequency same-coverage neighboring cells.

3. If no UE exists in the local cell and the load of neighboring cells is normal when T1 expires, the RNC identifies this cell as an unusable cell and sends a cell shutdown indication to the base station. Otherwise, the RNC returns to 1.

4. The base station shuts down this cell.

− If the base station fails to shut down this cell, the RNC identifies this cell as a usable cell through an internal audit message after receiving the corresponding message from the base station and then returns to 1.

− If the base station succeeds in shutting down the cell, the RNC periodically checks whether the condition for starting up the cell is met. If the condition is met, the RNC starts up the cell and starts a protection timer T2 (DynCellShutdownProtectTimerlen). After T2 expires, the RNC returns to 1.

----End

3.1.2 Conditions for Starting Up a Cell

If the DynShutDownType parameter of a cell is set to CONDITIONALSHUTDOWN, after the cell is shut down automatically, the RNC periodically (DynCellOpenJudgeTimerlen) checks the conditions for starting up the cell. If any of the following conditions is met, the RNC starts up the cell:

The effective period of dynamic cell shutdown expires.

In the sector to which the shutdown cell belongs, there is another cell whose load is in the load reshuffling (LDR) state.

A same-coverage neighboring cell fails to admit a service because of insufficient resources.

The cell that was shut down forcibly can be started up only when the effective period of dynamic cell shutdown expires.

3.2 Energy Efficiency Improvement

3.2.1 Dynamic Voltage Adjustment

This section describes the function WRFD-020118 Energy Efficiency Improved. It describes how to adjust the offset voltage based on the output power that varies with the traffic load, thus improving the PA efficiency and reducing the static PA power consumption. Therefore, this function also called dynamic voltage adjustment.

Except the MTRU for BTS3812E/AE and RRU3801C for distributed baseband site, other RF modules of the NodeB can support dynamic voltage adjustment.

Dynamic voltage adjustment is license-controlled and therefore require license activation on the NodeB side before use.

If there is no HSDPA user in the cell, the offset voltage can be adjusted for a RF module only when the license of dynamic voltage adjustment is activated.

If there is any HSDPA user in the cell, the offset voltage can be adjusted for a RF module when all of the following conditions are met.

The license of dynamic voltage adjustment is activated.

The switch parameter DYNADJSWITCH is set to ON. The parameter DYNADJSWITCH is used to specify whether the offset voltage can be adjusted in case of HSDPA services.

The current time is later than DYNADJSTARTTIME and earlier than DYNADJENDTIME. This two parameters respectively specify the start time and end time of a period during which offset voltage can be adjusted in case of HSDPA services.

The method of offset voltage adjustment is described as follows:

On a live network, the cell power fluctuations caused by service changes are within the range of 0 dB to -7 dB. Therefore, the energy efficiency improvement function classifies the output power of the RF modules into eight levels, namely, levels 0 to 7. The difference between two levels is 1 dB, that is, the power adjustment range is 7 dB. Level 0 corresponds to the highest output power, which is the sum of the maximum transmit power of all carriers on the RF modules. In addition, each level corresponds to an offset voltage value. For example, for a dual-carrier RF module, if the maximum transmit power of each carrier is 20 W, the output power of level 0 is 40 W, that is, 46 dBm. The corresponding output power of levels 0 to 7 ranges from 46 dBm to 39 dBm.

The RF module of the base station calculates the average PA output power every 100 ms. Based on the calculated power, the RF module adjusts the offset voltage in a fast-increasing and slow-decreasing manner to avoid disruption of services. The adjustment method is described as follows:

If 70% of the output power values calculated in five consecutive seconds is higher than the power of the current level, increase the offset voltage to the value corresponding to level 0, that is, the maximum output power.

If all of the output power values calculated in five consecutive minutes are lower than the power of the current level, reduce the power level by one level and set the offset voltage to the value corresponding to the lowered level.

3.2.2 Combination of Dynamic Voltage Adjustment and Dynamic Cell Shutdown

From the function implementation point of view, the dynamic voltage adjustment function and the dynamic cell shutdown function can work independently. The two functions can also work in a cooperative manner to reduce the power consumption to a great extent.

WCDMA RAN




3-4

For example, for the PA of a dual-carrier RF module, after one carrier is shut down, the actual output power drops sharply, compared with the rated output power of the PA. In this case, if the PA offset voltage remains unchanged and the PA efficiency is low, the power consumed by the PA decreases slightly. If the PA offset voltage is lowered, the PA efficiency is improved and the power consumed by the PA drops significantly.

Therefore, the combination of the two functions can save power more efficiently.

3.3 Intelligent Power-Off

This section describes the features WRFD-031400 Power off the equipment level by level and WRFD-020119 Multi-Carrier Switch off Based on Power Backup.

In the case of mains power failure, the base station can have power supply from batteries if it is configured with a power backup system. The user can power off the equipment level by level by setting different DC voltage threshold to intelligent shutdown of RF modules and sites (WRFD-031400 Power off the equipment level by level). Thus, the service time span of the power backup system is increased.

Figure 3-2 Power off the equipment level by level

As shown in Figure 3-2, when the voltage decreases to a threshold (G2, load shutdown voltage, is specified by the parameter LSDV), the Node B disables the RF module and keeps the baseband module and transmission device working properly. This function ensures long-time power backup for baseband modules and transmission devices, in particular at the hub Node B.

After the RF module intelligent shutdown, when the voltage decreases to a threshold (G3, battery shutdown voltage, is specified by the parameter BSDV), the Node B and all its modules are powered off. This function can save investment in the battery backup system. After a mains failure, the system can work for a longer period of time, and in particular the transmission device achieves longer power backup.

In RAN12.0, hierarchical carrier shutdown (WRFD-020119 Multi-Carrier Switch off Based on Power Backup) is introduced before RF module intelligent shutdown.

If the switch parameter ISD is set to ENABLE, In case of mains failure, the batteries start to operate. And then, the NodeB will be triggered to shut down cells level by level. At the first level of shutdown time which is specified by the parameter LEVEL1, the non-reserved cell other than reserved cells will be shut down. At the second level of shutdown time which is specified by the parameter LEVEL2, the reserved cells will be shut down.

WCDMA RAN




3-5

Whether a cell is reserved or not can be specified by the parameter RSV.

Moreover, if the SWITCH parameter is set to OPEN, the pilot power is reduced gradually so that the services can be handed over to other available carriers smoothly.

3.4 Management of the Solar Power System and Diesel Generator

This section describes the feature WRFD-031500 Solar Power Device Management.

The 3900 series base stations support the management of the solar power system and diesel generator, as shown in Figure 3-3.

Figure 3-3 Management of the solar power system and diesel generator

Through the RS485 serial port between the base station and the solar power controller, the base station manages the solar power system and diesel generator. The management functions include configuration, monitoring, and alarm reporting.

For the solar power system, the base station performs the following management functions:

Performing data configuration, querying, and modification for the solar power device through the CN, SRN, and SN parameters

Setting AC and DC voltage thresholds for the solar power controller through the ACVUTHD, ACVLTHD, DCVUTHD, and DCVLTHD parameters

Setting high-temperature protection thresholds for the solar power controller through the HTSDF and SDT parameters

Setting a boost-charging voltage and a float-charging voltage for the batteries through the BCV and FCV parameters respectively

Setting high- and low-temperature thresholds for the batteries through the TUTHD and TLTHD parameters respectively

For the diesel generator, the base station performs the following management functions:

Performing data configuration, querying, and modification for the diesel generator through the CN, SRN, and SN parameters

Enabling the power monitoring unit (PMU) to automatically control the diesel generator by setting the ICF parameter to ENABLE

RSV NodeB MOD LOCELL(Optional) ADD LOCELL(Optional)

Meaning: This parameter enables a cell to be reserved or not. When the voltage is insufficient but still can support services carried on some cells, the cell can continue providing services if this parameter is set to TRUE; the services carried on the cell are terminated if this parameter is set to FALSE. When the voltage is insufficient and no cell service can be supported, even the services carried on a reserved cell are terminated. If the smooth power switch is set to ON, the pilot power is gradually reduced before the services are terminated. Thus, the services can be smoothly handed over to other normal carriers. GUI Value Range: FALSE(False), TRUE(True) Actual Value Range: FALSE, TRUE Unit: None Default Value: False

SDT NodeB SET HTPROTECT(Optional)

Meaning: Shutdown temperature GUI Value Range: 40~70 Actual Value Range: 40~70 Unit: degree Celsius Default Value: -
