5G RAN
High Speed Mobility Feature Parameter Description 3 Overview

3 Overview

In high-speed transit, such as high-speed railways and maglev trains, UEs are
susceptible to Doppler shifts and frequent inter-cell handovers. Figure 3-1 shows
the impact of frequent handovers. This may result in performance issues such as
high service drop rates, difficult access, and low throughput.

Figure 3-1 Impact of frequent handovers

In high speed mobility scenarios, the received signal frequency at the receiver
changes due to the Doppler effect. As a result, the frequency where data is
transmitted is different from that where data is received. This phenomenon is
referred to as the Doppler shift. Figure 3-2 shows the uplink and downlink
frequency offsets when a UE is moving relative to a gNodeB.

Issue Draft A Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 15


(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
High Speed Mobility Feature Parameter Description 3 Overview

Figure 3-2 Doppler shift

The Doppler shift is calculated as follows:


In the preceding formula: C is the electromagnetic wave propagation speed, v is
the moving speed of the UE, and θ is the angle between the direction in which the
UE is moving relative to the gNodeB and the direction in which the gNodeB
transmits signals. Figure 3-3 shows the angle θ.

Figure 3-3 Diagram of angle θ

As the preceding formula indicates, Doppler shifts increase as the moving speed of
a UE relative to the gNodeB increases. A Doppler shift alters the frequency for
data reception, which causes intra- and inter-OFDM symbol interference. In severe
cases, receivers fail to demodulate data from transmitters and UEs cannot access
the network. Therefore, in high speed mobility scenarios, Doppler shifts must be
corrected to reduce their impacts and meet performance requirements. Given this
context, Huawei has introduced the High-speed Railway Superior Experience
feature.
It is recommended that the Hyper Cell/Cell Combination networking be used to
solve the problem caused by frequent UE handovers. For details, see Hyper Cell or
Cell Combination.

4 High-speed Railway Superior Experience

4.1 Principles

4.1.1 High-Speed Cell


Because the NR system is sensitive to Doppler shifts due to closely-spaced
subcarriers, the effect of Doppler shifts needs to be better controlled. In high-
speed railway scenarios, if the UE speeds range from 120 km/h to 450 km/h, it is
recommended that cells be configured as high-speed cells.
A cell can be configured as a high-speed cell using the NRDUCell.HighSpeedFlag
parameter. Table 4-1 describes suggestions for configuring high-speed and low-
speed cells.

Table 4-1 Suggestions for configuring high-speed and low-speed cells


UE Speed Cell Configuration
(NRDUCell.HighSpeedFlag)

120 km/h to 450 km/h HIGH_SPEED

Less than 120 km/h LOW_SPEED

In high-speed cells, if the R16_HIGH_SPEED_MEAS_FLAG option of the


NRDUCellHighSpeedMob.HighSpeedAlgoOptSw parameter is selected, the
gNodeB broadcasts the high-speed cell measurement flag (indicated by the
highSpeedMeasFlag-r16 field) in the system information. UEs can identify high-
speed cells based on this flag and perform corresponding optimization. For details
about the high-speed cell measurement flag, see 3GPP TS 38.331: "NR; Radio
Resource Control (RRC) protocol specification."

4.1.2 Frequency Correction


After a cell is configured as a high-speed cell, uplink frequency correction is
enabled for UEs in the cell. The gNodeB estimates frequency shifts based on the

Issue Draft A Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 17


(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
High Speed Mobility Feature Parameter Description 4 High-speed Railway Superior Experience

PUSCH demodulation reference signal (DMRS) from the UEs and uses the results
as continuous input for UE frequency correction. A high-speed cell must be
configured with one uplink front-loaded DMRS position and two uplink additional
DMRS positions (by setting NRDUCellPusch.UlAdditionalDmrsPos to POS2).
Note that in special scenarios, a high-speed cell can be configured with one uplink
front-loaded DMRS position and one uplink additional DMRS position, as shown in
Table 4-2.

Table 4-2 Scenarios supporting one uplink additional DMRS position

RAT Frequency Maximum Number of Number of


Band Train Speed Uplink Front- Uplink
loaded DMRS Additional
Positions DMRS
Positions

NR TDD 2.6 GHz ≤ 300 km/h 1 1

NR TDD 3.5 GHz ≤ 200 km/h 1 1

NR FDD 2.1 GHz ≤ 170 km/h 1 1

NR FDD 700 MHz ≤450km/h 1 1

The effect of frequency shifts on signals is represented as the phase rotation of


the signals in the time domain. In the uplink, the gNodeB uses pairs of DMRS
symbols to estimate frequency shifts. The fundamental principle is to calculate the
frequency shift fd based on the phase difference between the two adjacent DMRS
symbols in a timeslot. The obtained frequency shift fd is used as continuous input
for UE frequency correction. This reduces the impact of Doppler shifts as much as
possible and meets the performance requirement of high speed mobility.

4.2 Network Analysis

4.2.1 Benefits
● High-speed cells: When a UE moves faster than 200 km/h, it is very likely that
the UE is incapable of performing services due to Doppler shifts. This may
lead to performance issues, such as difficulty in accessing the network, slow-
loading web pages, and low traffic volume. When an NR TDD cell is
configured as a high-speed cell, UEs in this cell can normally perform services
when moving at 450 km/h. When an NR FDD cell is configured as a high-
speed cell, UEs in this cell can normally perform services when moving at 390
km/h. Configuring a cell as a high-speed cell improves the throughput of UEs
moving faster than 120 km/h.
● Frequency correction: The cell uplink throughput, RRC connection setup
success rate that is indicated by RRC Setup Success Rate (CU), and intra-RAT
incoming handover success rate that is indicated by Intra-RAT Handover In
Success Rate (CU) increase.

4.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
Configuring a cell as a high-speed cell (by setting the NRDUCell.HighSpeedFlag
parameter) results in the following impacts on the network:
● After a cell is configured as a high-speed cell, two additional DMRS positions
are required in the uplink (with NRDUCellPusch.UlAdditionalDmrsPos set to
POS2). This increases the consumption of uplink pilot resources in the cell by
4–8%.
● In high-speed cells, DRX can be enabled only for low-speed UEs. Other UEs
consume more power in high-speed cells than in low-speed cells. For details
about DRX for low-speed UEs, see 6.1.9 Differentiated Configuration
Between High- and Low-speed UEs.
● The single-user throughput of low-speed UEs in high-speed cells may slightly
decrease (< 5%) compared with that in low-speed cells.
● A cell is automatically reset when it is changed from a low-speed cell to a
high-speed cell. The cell is unavailable during the reset process, which affects
UE services.

4.3.3 Hardware
Base Station Models
3900 and 5900 series base stations. 3900 series base stations must be configured
with the BBU3910.

Boards
All NR-capable main control boards and baseband processing units support this
function. For details, see the BBU technical specifications in 3900 & 5900 Series
Base Station Product Documentation.

RF Modules
NR TDD: Only NR TDD low-frequency RF modules with the number of RF channels
being 1T1R, 2T2R, 4T4R, or 8T8R support this function.
NR FDD: Only NR FDD low-frequency RF modules with the number of RF channels
being 1T1R, 2T2R, 4T4R, or 8T8R support this function.

Cells
NR TDD: No requirement
NR FDD: It is recommended that cells of 20 MHz, 25 MHz, 30 MHz, and 40 MHz
bandwidths be configured as high-speed cells.

4.3.4 Networking
To prevent frequent handovers in high-speed scenarios, it is recommended that
high-speed cells use Hyper Cell or Cell Combination networking. In Hyper Cell or

Issue Draft A Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 37

5G RAN
High Speed Mobility Feature Parameter Description 4 High-speed Railway Superior Experience

Cell Combination networking scenarios, it is recommended that the


NRDUCellTrp.NrDuCellTrpId parameter values of six physically adjacent
transmission reception points (TRPs) along high-speed railways be planned
sequentially based on their TRP-ID-mod-6 results. This prevents performance
problems such as service drops and UE throughput decrease caused by TRS
interference between TRPs. For details about Hyper Cell, see Hyper Cell. For details
about Cell Combination, see Cell Combination.

For example, as shown in Figure 4-1 or Figure 4-2, the


NRDUCellTrp.NrDuCellTrpId parameter values of the six TRPs are planned as 15
(mod 6 = 3), 16 (mod 6 = 4), 17 (mod 6 = 5), 18 (mod 6 = 0), 19 (mod 6 = 1), and
20 (mod 6 = 2).

4.3.5 Others
UEs must support two uplink additional DMRS positions. Otherwise, service drops
may occur when UEs move at a high speed.

According to 3GPP TS 38.331, if the oneFL-DMRS-TwoAdditionalDMRS-UL field is


supported in the UE capability, the UE supports two uplink additional DMRS
positions.

5 High-Speed Cell Performance


Optimization

5.1 Principles
The function of multiple sets of TRS measurement in high-speed cell performance
optimization is a trial function.
Trial functions are functions that are not yet ready for full commercial release for
certain reasons. For example, the industry chain (terminals/CN) may not be
sufficiently compatible. However, these functions can still be used for testing
purposes or commercial network trials. Anyone who desires to use the trial
functions shall contact Huawei and enter into a memorandum of understanding
(MoU) with Huawei prior to an official application of such trial functions. Trial
functions are not for sale in the current version but customers may try them for
free.
Customers acknowledge and undertake that trial functions may have a certain
degree of risk due to absence of commercial testing. Before using them, customers
shall fully understand not only the expected benefits of such trial functions but
also the possible impact they may exert on the network. In addition, customers
acknowledge and undertake that since trial functions are free, Huawei is not liable
for any trial function malfunctions or any losses incurred by using the trial
functions. Huawei does not promise that problems with trial functions will be
resolved in the current version. Huawei reserves the rights to convert trial
functions into commercial functions in later R/C versions. If trial functions are
converted into commercial functions in a later version, customers shall pay a
licensing fee to obtain the relevant licenses prior to using the said commercial
functions. If a customer fails to purchase such a license, the trial function(s) will
be invalidated automatically when the product is upgraded.

5.1.1 Incoming Handover Protection for High-Speed Cells


The incoming handover protection for high-speed cells function is used to prevent
ping-pong handovers. This function takes effect only for SA UEs.

Issue Draft A Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 48


(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
High Speed Mobility Feature Parameter Description 5 High-Speed Cell Performance Optimization

● When a UE is handed over to a high-speed cell and the cause value carried in
the handover request is Handover Desirable for Radio Reasons, the
following operations are performed:
– The target cell records the source cell of this incoming handover.
– After the handover is complete, the target cell starts the incoming
handover protection timer for high-speed cells. This timer is controlled by
the NRCellMobilityConfig.HsCellHoProtectTimer parameter. If this
parameter is set to a value other than 0, this function is enabled.
● After receiving an intra-frequency or inter-frequency measurement report
from the UE, the target cell performs the following operations:
– If the cell in the measurement report is the source cell of the last
incoming handover, the target cell checks whether the incoming
handover protection timer expires.

▪ If the timer has not expired, the source cell is filtered out from the
HO Candidate List and no handover to the source cell is triggered.

▪ If the timer has expired, a handover to the source cell can be


triggered.
– If the cell in the measurement report is not the source cell of the last
incoming handover, the handover is directly performed.

5.1.2 Rank Restriction


In high-speed mobility scenarios, the rank reporting of UEs may be inaccurate,
affecting the throughput. The ranks allowed to be reported can be specified using
the NRDUCellPdsch.HighSpeedCellRiRestr parameter.
It is recommended that this parameter be set to 3 for sections where the train's
speed exceeds 120 km/h. This means that the effective ranks are limited to rank 1
and rank 2 to improve performance.

5.1.3 Multi-TRS Measurement (Trial)


This function allows a UE capable of multi-TRS measurement to measure multiple
sets of TRS at a time, as shown in Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2. Multi-TRS
measurement takes effect only for UEs in high-speed cells in Hyper Cell or Cell
Combination networking.

(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
High Speed Mobility Feature Parameter Description 5 High-Speed Cell Performance Optimization

Figure 5-2 Multi-TRS measurement (combined cells)

This function is controlled by the NRDUCellAlgoSwitch.MultiTrsMeasSwitch


parameter. After this switch is turned on, the gNodeB configures multiple sets of
TRS resources for UEs in the cell. A UE that is capable of measuring multiple sets
of TRSs can simultaneously measure multiple sets of TRSs in the serving cell.

5.1.4 Uplink SINR Adjustment


In non-line-of-sight (NLOS) high-speed mobility scenarios, channel conditions
change fast. As a result, the MCS index selected for the uplink data channel based
on the SINR may be overly high, increasing the BLER. To address this issue, uplink
SINR adjustment is introduced. NLOS refers to the non-line-of-sight transmission
environment of radio signals, such as urban or mountainous areas.

This function adjusts the SINR used for MCS index selection to make the MCS
index more suitable for the actual channel quality and thereby reducing the BLER.
In this way, the average uplink throughput of high-speed UEs can be increased in
scenarios where channel conditions change greatly with time. The
UL_SINR_ADJUST_SW option of the
NRDUCellHighSpeedMob.HighSpeedAlgoOptSw parameter specifies whether to
enable this function.

5.2 Network Analysis

5.2.1 Benefits
● Incoming handover protection for high-speed cells: After this function is
enabled, ping-pong handovers in high-speed scenarios reduce and the
handover success rate (Intra-Frequency‧Handover‧Out‧Success‧Rate‧(CU)
and Intra-RAT‧Handover‧In‧Success‧Rate‧(CU)) increases.
● Rank restriction: After this function is enabled, the average downlink
throughput of high-speed UEs increases.
For NR TDD: Average downlink throughput of high-speed UEs =
(N.ThpVol.DL.Hs – N.ThpVol.DL.LastSlot.Hs)/
N.ThpTime.DL.RmvLastSlot.Hs
● Multi-TRS measurement: Enabling this function is recommended when there
are UEs capable of multi-TRS measurement. After this function is enabled, the
risk of performance deterioration caused by frequency offset adjustment
during handovers of high-speed UEs is reduced, and the downlink capacity
(reflected by Downlink Traffic Volume (DU) and Average User Number
(CU)) increases.

Management

6.1 Principles

6.1.1 Overview
Background of High Speed Specified Policy Management
In intra-frequency band networking of high-speed railway dedicated networks and
public networks, the following scenarios may exist on high-speed railway
dedicated networks:
● Scenario 1: The high-speed railway dedicated network serves some public-
network low-speed UEs. As a result, there are both high-speed UEs and
public-network low-speed UEs in high-speed cells on the high-speed railway
dedicated network. Public-network low-speed UEs occupy resources of the
dedicated network, affecting user experience on the dedicated network.
● Scenario 2: The public network covers areas around the high-speed railway
dedicated network, and the public network may cause severe interference to
the dedicated network.
In the preceding scenarios, the high speed specified policy management function
is introduced to ensure user experience of high-speed UEs on the dedicated
network. The high speed specified policy management function enables
differentiated processing on high-speed and low-speed UEs in high-speed cells of
high-speed railway dedicated networks. In addition, when a high-speed train
arrives in the areas with public network coverage, coordination with surrounding
public networks can be performed to improve the experience of dedicated
network users.

Low-speed UEs.

Identification of High- and Low-Speed UEs


The mechanism for determining the UE type in a high-speed cell is as follows:
● If the frequency shift of a UE is greater than or equal to the threshold
NRDUCellHighSpeedMob.HighSpeedFreqOffsetThld, the UE is identified as
a high-speed UE.
● If the camping duration of a UE in the current TRP is greater than the
threshold NRDUCellHighSpeedMob.LowSpeedStayTimeThld, the UE is
identified as a low-speed UE.
NOTE

You are advised to set the camping duration threshold (15s by default) based on the actual
condition of the live network to prevent high-speed UEs from being incorrectly identified as
low-speed UEs.
After a UE is identified as a high-speed UE, the UE's high-speed attribute is transferred to
the target cell during an Xn-based handover between high-speed cells (only supported by
Huawei base stations).

6.1.2 High-Speed UE Directional Handover


With the high-speed UE directional handover function, high-speed UEs in a high-
speed railway dedicated-network cell with two or more neighboring high-speed
cells can only be handed over to high-speed cells. This prevents high-speed UEs
from being handed over to low-speed cells, improving the handover success rate
of high-speed UEs. For details about the handover mechanisms in other scenarios,
see Mobility Management.
This function is controlled by the HIGH_SPEED_DIRECTIONAL_HO_SW option of
the NRCellAlgoSwitch.HighSpeedDedPolicySw parameter.
As shown in Figure 6-1, when a local high-speed railway dedicated-network cell
(cell 1) and its neighboring cells (cell 0 and cell 2) meet the conditions listed
below and the high-speed UE directional handover function is enabled, high-speed
UEs in the local cell (cell 1) can only be handed over to high-speed neighboring
cells (cell 0 and cell 2):
● Each neighboring cell is an intra-base-station neighboring cell of the local
cell: NRDUCell.HighSpeedFlag is set to HIGH_SPEED.
● Each neighboring cell is an external neighboring cell of the local cell (the
neighbor relationship has been configured): NRExternalNCell.HighSpeedFlag
is set to HIGH_SPEED. For details about how to configure neighbor
relationships, see Mobility Management.

6.1.3 Differentiated Scheduling


Differentiated scheduling increases the scheduling priority of high-speed UEs in
high-speed cells to ensure that high-speed UEs are preferentially scheduled,
thereby improving the user-perceived rate of high-speed UEs. This function is
controlled by the HIGH_SPEED_DIFFERENTIAL_SCH_SW option of the
NRCellAlgoSwitch.HighSpeedDedPolicySw parameter.

6.1.4 Low-Speed UE Performance Optimization


Low-speed UE performance optimization optimizes the performance of low-speed
UEs in high-speed cells by improving the uplink and downlink throughputs of such
UEs.
This function is controlled by the LOW_SPEED_PERFORMANCE_OPT_SW option
of the NRCellAlgoSwitch.HighSpeedDedPolicySw parameter.

6.1.5 Interference Coordination Between Public and Dedicated


Networks
When a high-speed cell identifies that a train arrives at the coverage area of the
dedicated network, it instructs neighboring public-network cells to restrict
scheduling resources or power, thereby reducing interference to the dedicated
network.
This function is controlled by the high-speed cell interference coordination switch
(controlled by the HIGH_SPEED_INTRF_AVOID_SW option of the
NRCellAlgoSwitch.HighSpeedDedPolicySw parameter) or the interference
coordination always-on switch (controlled by the
INTRF_COORD_ALWAYS_WORKING_SW option of the
NRCellAlgoSwitch.HighSpeedDedPolicySw parameter). The high-speed cell
interference coordination switch and the interference coordination always-on
switch are mutually exclusive. Interference coordination between public and
dedicated networks can be enabled by turning on either of the switches in a high-
speed cell. The interference coordination always-on switch can be turned on for a
maximum of three high-speed cells under the same base station. The software
version (BTS3900_5900 V100R0xxCxx) of the public-network base station must be
the same as that of the dedicated-network base station. Otherwise, this function
does not take effect.
The procedure of interference coordination between public and dedicated
networks is as follows: If the high-speed cell interference coordination switch is
turned on, the procedure starts from step 1. If the interference coordination

(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
High Speed Mobility Feature Parameter Description 6 High Speed Specified Policy Management

always-on switch is turned on, interference coordination between public and


dedicated networks always takes effect. In this case, the dedicated-network cell
does not check the train arrival as described in step 1 and the procedure starts
from step 2.
1. Determining whether a train arrives at the dedicated-network cell
After this function is enabled (by selecting the
HIGH_SPEED_INTRF_AVOID_SW option of the
NRCellAlgoSwitch.HighSpeedDedPolicySw parameter), a high-speed cell
determines whether a train arrives based on the number of high-speed UEs in
the cell. If this number is greater than or equal to the value of the
NRDUCellHighSpeedMob.HighSpeedUserNumThld parameter, it is
considered that the train arrives.
2. Determining whether to start interference avoidance
When a train arrives, the high-speed cell instructs neighboring cells with
NRCellRelation.HighSpeedIntrfAvoidFlag set to INTRF_AVOID to start
interference avoidance.
3. Taking interference avoidance measures
A low-speed cell with NRCellRelation.HighSpeedIntrfAvoidFlag set to
INTRF_AVOID starts interference avoidance based on the train arrival
indication of a high-speed cell and parameter settings of this low-speed cell.
The parameter settings of the low-speed cell are as follows:
– Downlink power reduction for the low-speed cell:
The NRDUCellHighSpeedMob.DlIntrfBasedPwrOffset parameter
specifies the power offset for downlink power decrease in the low-speed
cell. If this parameter is set to 0, downlink power reduction is disabled.
– Uplink power reduction for the low-speed cell:
The NRDUCellHighSpeedMob.UlIntrfBasedPwrOffset parameter
specifies the power offset for uplink power decrease in the low-speed cell.
If this parameter is set to 0, uplink power reduction is disabled.
– Downlink RB restriction for the low-speed cell:
The NRDUCellHighSpeedMob.DlIntrfLimitRbSchRatio parameter
specifies the proportion of RBs that cannot be scheduled in the downlink
of the low-speed cell. If this parameter is set to 0, downlink RB restriction
is disabled.
– Uplink RB restriction for the low-speed cell:
The NRDUCellHighSpeedMob.UlIntrfLimitRbSchRatio parameter
specifies the proportion of RBs that cannot be scheduled in the uplink of
the low-speed cell. If this parameter is set to 0, uplink RB restriction is
disabled.
The NRDUCellHighSpeedMob.DlIntrfLimitRbSchRatio and
NRDUCellHighSpeedMob.UlIntrfLimitRbSchRatio parameters specify the
proportion of RBs that cannot be scheduled only for the overlapping area of
the public and dedicated networks. The proportion of RBs to be scheduled is
not limited in non-overlapping areas.
4. Restoring the normal RB scheduling and power
If the high-speed cell interference coordination switch is turned on, the high-
speed cell instructs neighboring public-network cells to restore the normal
levels of scheduled RBs and power when the train leaves the high-speed cell.

5G RAN
High Speed Mobility Feature Parameter Description 6 High Speed Specified Policy Management

If the interference coordination always-on switch is turned on, the high-speed


cell instructs neighboring public-network cells to restore the normal levels of
scheduled RBs and power when this switch is turned off.

6.1.6 High-Speed Attribute Indication of Neighboring E-


UTRAN Cells
If a high-speed E-UTRAN cell uses a dedicated frequency, the high speed attribute
of this frequency can be configured on the NR side (by setting
NRCellEutranNFreq.HighSpeedFlag to HIGH_SPEED) and the
EUTRA_HIGH_SPEED_IND_SW option of the
NRCellReselConfig.SibOptionalIeInd parameter can be selected. This
configuration means the NR network will broadcast the high speed attribute of
this neighboring E-UTRAN frequency in SIB5 to UEs. For details, see 3GPP TS
38.331.
This helps UEs identify whether a neighboring E-UTRAN frequency is a high-speed
cell frequency and optimize the camping policy. The implementation depends on
UEs.

6.1.7 Low-Speed UE Outmigration


Low-speed UE outmigration is a process in which low-speed UEs that have
accessed the high-speed railway dedicated network are migrated to the public
network, as shown in Figure 6-2. In this way, public-network low-speed UEs do
not occupy resources on the high-speed railway dedicated network where the train
tracks cross urban or suburban areas. This function is controlled by the
NRCellMobilityConfig.LowSpeedUeOutgoingPolicy parameter.

Figure 6-2 Low-speed UE outmigration

When the low-speed UE outmigration function is enabled, the base station


migrates a certain number of low-speed UEs from the high-speed railway
dedicated network to the public network periodically before a high-speed train
passes by. When a high-speed train passes by the dedicated network, the base
station stops the low-speed UE outmigration process. The frequencies of public
and dedicated network are distinguished using the
NRCellFreqRelation.HighSpeedFlag parameter. It is recommended that this
parameter be set to LOW_SPEED for frequencies of the public network and
HIGH_SPEED for frequencies of the dedicated network.

Issue Draft A Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 60


(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
High Speed Mobility Feature Parameter Description 6 High Speed Specified Policy Management

Low-speed UE outmigration can be implemented in either of the following ways:


● If the NRCellMobilityConfig.LowSpeedUeOutgoingPolicy parameter is set
to MEASUREMENT_BASED, inter-frequency measurement configurations are
delivered to the identified low-speed UEs. After the measurement results are
reported, the low-speed UEs are migrated to the public network.
● If the NRCellMobilityConfig.LowSpeedUeOutgoingPolicy parameter is set
to BLIND_REDIRECTION_BASED, low-speed UEs are directly migrated to
configured public-network cells through blind redirection without starting
measurements. When blind redirection is used, service drops may occur if
there is no public network coverage. It is recommended that blind redirection
be enabled only when there is public network coverage around.

6.1.8 High-Speed UE Return


To enable high-speed UEs to camp on high-speed cells as long as possible, the
high-speed UE return function is introduced. After this function is enabled, high-
speed UEs that access public-network cells can be redirected back to dedicated
network cells.

The high-speed UE return function is controlled by the


HIGH_SPEED_UE_REDIRECT_SW option of the
NRCellAlgoSwitch.HighSpeedDedPolicySw parameter. After this function is
enabled in a public network cell, the base station identifies high-speed UEs in the
cell and redirects them to the 4G or 5G dedicated network. This function takes
effect only for SA UEs.

The attributes of 4G and 5G dedicated-network frequencies are configured using


the NRCellEutranNFreq and NRCellFreqRelation MOs, respectively. The high-
speed flag used to distinguish public- and dedicated-network frequencies is
configured using NRCellEutranNFreq.HighSpeedFlag for 4G frequencies and
NRCellFreqRelation.HighSpeedFlag for 5G frequencies.

For a frequency with the high-speed flag being HIGH_SPEED, the following
configurations are recommended:
● If the frequency is a 5G dedicated-network frequency and it is available only
for high-speed UE return, select the HIGH_SPEED_UE_REDIRECT_ONLY_SW
option of the NRCellFreqRelation.FrequencyCtrlSwitch parameter. In this
case, it is recommended that cells working on this dedicated-network
frequency not be configured as neighboring cells on the public network. This
prevents low-speed UEs from being handed over from the public network to
the dedicated network.
● If the frequency is a 4G dedicated-network frequency and it is available only
for high-speed UE return, select the HIGH_SPEED_UE_REDIRECT_ONLY_SW
option of the NRCellEutranNFreq.FrequencyCtrlSwitch parameter. In this
case, it is recommended that cells working on this dedicated-network
frequency not be configured as neighboring cells on the public network. This
prevents low-speed UEs from being handed over from the public network to
the dedicated network.
● If the frequency is a 4G or 5G dedicated-network frequency and not dedicated
to high-speed UE return, deselect the preceding options. In this case, cells
working on this dedicated-network frequency must be configured as
neighboring cells on the public network. Otherwise, the performance of UEs

performing frequency-related services (such as mobility management) is


affected.

6.1.9 Differentiated Configuration Between High- and Low-


speed UEs
Differentiated configuration between high- and low-speed UEs provides flexible
and differentiated configuration policies for high- and low-speed UEs in high-
speed cells. This function includes the following subfunctions:

● Differentiated configuration of handover parameters


– Intra-frequency handover parameter configuration
Intra-frequency handover parameters dedicated to low-speed UEs are
added to the NRCellIntraFHoMeaGrp MO. The related parameter group
is specified using the NRCellQciBearer.LSUeIntraFreqHoMeasGrpId
parameter.
After a UE in a high-speed cell is identified as a low-speed UE, the
processing mechanism is as follows:

▪ If the NRCellQciBearer.LSUeIntraFreqHoMeasGrpId parameter of


the UE's highest-priority bearer is set to a value other than 255,
measurement configurations are delivered to the UE based on the
intra-frequency handover parameters corresponding to this
parameter. That is, the parameter group corresponding to both
NRCellIntraFHoMeaGrp.IntraFreqHoMeasGroupId and
NRCellQciBearer.LSUeIntraFreqHoMeasGrpId is delivered.

▪ If the NRCellQciBearer.LSUeIntraFreqHoMeasGrpId parameter of


the UE's highest-priority bearer is set to 255, intra-frequency
handover parameters are not reconfigured for the UE. That is, the
intra-frequency handover parameters specified by
NRCellQciBearer.IntraFreqHoMeasGroupId of the UE's highest-
priority bearer take effect.
For details about the settings of parameters in the
NRCellIntraFHoMeaGrp MO, see Mobility Management.
– Inter-frequency handover parameter configuration
Inter-frequency handover parameters dedicated to low-speed UEs are
added to the NRCellInterFHoMeaGrp MO. The related parameter group
is specified using the NRCellQciBearer.LSUeInterFreqHoMeasGrpId
parameter.
After a UE in a high-speed cell is identified as a low-speed UE, the
processing mechanism is as follows:

▪ If the NRCellQciBearer.LSUeInterFreqHoMeasGrpId parameter of


the UE's highest-priority bearer is set to a value other than 255,
measurement configurations are delivered to the UE based on the
inter-frequency handover parameters corresponding to this
parameter. That is, the parameter group corresponding to both
NRCellInterFHoMeaGrp.InterFreqHoMeasGroupId and
NRCellQciBearer.LSUeInterFreqHoMeasGrpId is delivered.

5G RAN
High Speed Mobility Feature Parameter Description 6 High Speed Specified Policy Management

▪ If the NRCellQciBearer.LSUeInterFreqHoMeasGrpId parameter of


the UE's highest-priority bearer is set to 255, inter-frequency
handover parameters are not reconfigured for the UE. That is, the
inter-frequency handover parameters specified by
NRCellQciBearer.InterFreqHoMeasGroupId of the UE's highest-
priority bearer take effect.
For details about the settings of parameters in the
NRCellInterFHoMeaGrp MO, see Mobility Management.
● Differentiated DRX
If the DRX function is enabled in a high-speed cell (by selecting the
BASIC_DRX_SW option of the
NRDUCellUePwrSaving.NrDuCellDrxAlgoSwitch parameter) and the low-
speed UE DRX switch is turned on (by selecting the LOW_SPEED_UE_DRX_SW
option of the NRCellAlgoSwitch.HighSpeedDedPolicySw parameter), the
DRX function takes effect for identified low-speed UEs in the high-speed cell.
DRX takes effect only when the length of the long DRX cycle (specified by
gNBDrxParamGroup.LongCycle) is less than or equal to 1/6 of the value of
the uplink time alignment timer (specified by
NRDUCellUlTaConfig.UlTimeAlignmentTimer). The default value of the
uplink time alignment timer for high-speed cells is 1280 ms. Therefore, the
long DRX cycle must be set to a value less than or equal to 160 ms for a high-
speed cell.
● Differentiated EPS fallback
If the differentiated EPS fallback function is enabled (by selecting the
LOW_SPEED_DIFF_EPS_FALLBACK_SW option of the
NRCellAlgoSwitch.HighSpeedDedPolicySw parameter) in a high-speed cell,
an identified low-speed UE will preferentially select a frequency whose
NRCellEutranNFreq.HighSpeedFlag is set to LOW_SPEED to perform EPS
fallback.
● Differentiated UE inactivity timer
If the NRDUCellQciBearer.HsCellLowSpeedUeInactTimer parameter is set to
65535 for all bearers of a high-speed cell, the differentiated UE inactivity
timer does not take effect. Otherwise, the following mechanism is used:
– When a UE is not identified as a low-speed UE, the inactivity timer
specified by the NRDUCellQciBearer.UeInactivityTimer parameter takes
effect for the UE.
– When a UE is identified as a low-speed UE:

▪ The UE inactivity timer of a bearer whose


NRDUCellQciBearer.HsCellLowSpeedUeInactTimer parameter is
set to a value other than 65535 is used as the value of this
parameter.

▪ The UE inactivity timer of a bearer whose


NRDUCellQciBearer.HsCellLowSpeedUeInactTimer parameter is
set to 65535 is used as the value of the
NRDUCellQciBearer.UeInactivityTimer parameter.
Among the UE inactivity timers of the bearers, the one with the largest
value takes effect for the UE.

6.2 Network Analysis

6.2.1 Benefits
It is recommended that the high speed specified policy management function be
enabled in high-speed cells where UEs move faster than 120 km/h. Do not enable
this function in high-speed cells near high-speed railway platforms.

High speed specified policy management provides the following benefits:

● High-speed UE directional handover: increases the handover success rate in


high-speed cells.
● Differentiated scheduling: increases the average uplink and downlink
throughputs of high-speed UEs in high-speed cells.
● Low-speed UE performance optimization: increases uplink and downlink
throughputs of low-speed UEs in high-speed cells.
● Interference coordination between public and dedicated networks: increases
uplink and downlink throughputs of UEs in high-speed cells that suffer
interference from the public network. The specific benefit is related to the
load of the surrounding public network. If the load of the surrounding public
network is low, the benefit may not be significant.
● High-speed attribute indication of neighboring E-UTRAN cells: helps UEs
identify whether neighboring E-UTRAN frequencies are high-speed cell
frequencies and optimize camping policies. The specific gains depend on UEs.
● Low-speed UE outmigration: increases the uplink and downlink throughputs
of high-speed UEs in dedicated cells. It is recommended that this function be
enabled when the public and dedicated networks use inter-frequency
networking. You are advised not to enable this function when the public and
dedicated networks use intra-frequency networking. In inter-frequency
networking scenarios, it is recommended that unidirectional neighboring cells
be configured. That is, public-network cells are configured as neighboring cells
of dedicated-network cells while the dedicated-network cells are not
configured as neighboring cells of public-network cells. This prevents ping-
pong handovers between the public and dedicated networks.
● High-speed UE return: increases the camping duration of high-speed UEs in
high-speed cells and decreases the duration when high-speed UEs are not
served by the dedicated network. It is recommended that this function be
enabled in public-network inter-frequency cells whose coverage overlaps with
that of the network dedicated to high-speed railways. It is recommended that
coverage-based handover be preferentially enabled in intra-frequency
networking scenarios.
● Differentiated configuration between high- and low-speed UEs: provides
flexible and differentiated configuration policies. Differentiated configuration
of handover parameters can improve the handover reliability of low-speed
UEs in high-speed cells and reduce ping-pong handovers through parameter
optimization. Differentiated DRX can improve the power saving effect of low-
speed UEs in high-speed cells.

6.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
● High-speed UE directional handover:
No impact
● Differentiated scheduling:
After this function is enabled, the uplink and downlink throughputs of high-
speed UEs in high-speed cells increase, while the uplink and downlink
throughputs of low-speed UEs in these cells decrease. Therefore, uplink and
downlink cell throughputs in high-speed cells may fluctuate.
● Low-speed UE performance optimization:
No impact
● Interference coordination between public and dedicated networks:
When a train arrives or when the interference coordination always-on switch
is turned on, the uplink throughput (Cell Uplink Average Throughput (DU))
and downlink throughput (Cell‧Downlink‧Average‧Throughput‧(DU))
decrease, the access success rate (RRC‧Setup‧Success‧Rate‧(CU)) may
decrease, and the service drop rate may increase in surrounding public
network cells.
If public-network neighboring cells cause strong interference to the high-
speed railway dedicated network, it is recommended that network
optimization be performed first to reduce the interference. For example, you
can adjust the azimuth, downtilt, transmit power, and site location of public-
network cells to improve user experience on public and dedicated networks.
As a supplement to RF optimization, interference coordination between public
and dedicated networks can be enabled for interfering neighboring cells at
sites where network optimization cannot be performed in a short period of
time, thereby improving high-speed railway user experience. An interfering
neighboring cell refers to a public-network neighboring cell whose signal
strength difference to the dedicated network is less than 20 dB. The signal
strength can be obtained by scanning frequencies using a scanner or by
subscribing to external CHRs. After external CHR subscription, UEs will report
RSRP measurement results. After interfering neighboring cells are identified,
the CHR subscription is recommended to be cancelled to reduce the impact
on the network.
– If a cell of the high-speed railway dedicated network and its neighboring
cells on the public network have the same SSB frequency, the following
fields can be used to identify interfering neighboring cells:

PERIOD_INTRA_FREQ_MEASUREMENT
– If a cell of the high-speed railway dedicated network and its neighboring
cells on the public network have different SSB frequencies but their
frequency bands overlap, the following fields can be used to identify
interfering neighboring cells:
The SSBResults.RsrpRslt field of the external CHR event
PERIOD_INTER_FREQ_MEASUREMENT
The NeighCellRst.SSBResults.RsrpRslt field of the external CHR event
PERIOD_INTER_FREQ_MEASUREMENT
NOTE

The following describes the meanings of the fields in the external CHR event:
● PhysCellId: indicates the physical cell identifier of the serving cell or a
neighboring cell on the public network.
● SSBResults.RsrpRslt: indicates the RSRP of the serving cell, which is an SSB
beam-level measurement result.
● NeighCellRst.SSBResults.RsrpRslt: indicates the RSRP of a public network
neighboring cell, which is an SSB beam-level measurement result.
To reduce the impact on neighboring public-network cells after this feature is
enabled, set the parameters related to RB restriction and power reduction
based on the inter-site distance (ISD) or signal strength for neighboring
public-network cells along the high-speed railway. Suggested parameter
configurations are listed in Table 6-1.

● High-speed attribute indication of neighboring E-UTRAN cells:


No impact
● Low-speed UE outmigration:
The uplink throughput (Cell‧Uplink‧Average‧Throughput‧(DU)) and
downlink throughput (Cell‧Downlink‧Average‧Throughput‧(DU)) of low-
speed UEs decrease in the target cells for low-speed UE outmigration.
● High-speed UE return:
After this function is enabled, if the HIGH_SPEED_UE_REDIRECT_ONLY_SW
option of NRCellFreqRelation.FrequencyCtrlSwitch is deselected for a 5G
dedicated-network frequency or the HIGH_SPEED_UE_REDIRECT_ONLY_SW
option of NRCellEutranNFreq.FrequencyCtrlSwitch is deselected for a 4G
dedicated-network frequency, and no neighbor relationship is configured
between cells on the target high-speed frequency and public-network cells,
measurement gaps will be triggered, causing throughput performance loss.
● Differentiated configuration between high- and low-speed UEs:
After differentiated handover parameter configuration or differentiated DRX is
enabled, the number of RRC connection reconfigurations in high-speed cells
increases. This may slightly decrease the average downlink MCS index and
uplink and downlink cell throughput, and increase the service drop rate.

handover success rate increases and the RRC connection reestablishment rate
decreases.
● Differentiated scheduling
After this function is enabled, observe the average uplink and downlink
throughput of high-speed UEs in high-speed cells. If the counter values
increase, this function has taken effect.
Average downlink throughput of high-speed UEs = (N.ThpVol.DL.Hs –
N.ThpVol.DL.LastSlot.Hs)/N.ThpTime.DL.RmvLastSlot.Hs
Average uplink throughput of high-speed UEs = (N.ThpVol.UL.Hs –
N.ThpVol.UE.UL.SmallPkt.Hs)/N.ThpTime.UE.UL.RmvSmallPkt.Hs
● Interference coordination between public and dedicated networks
After this function is enabled, check the value of
N.InterfHighSpeed.Trigger.Num, which indicates the number of times
interference coordination is triggered on the high-speed railway dedicated
network. If the value of this counter is not 0, this function has taken effect.
Effective duration of interference coordination between public and dedicated
networks ≈ N.InterfHighSpeed.Trigger.Num x 2s
● High-speed attribute indication of neighboring E-UTRAN cells
After this function is enabled, start Uu interface tracing for the gNodeB and
check whether the highSpeedEUTRACarrier-r16 IE is delivered in the SIB5
message. If this IE is delivered, this function has taken effect.
● Low-speed UE outmigration
External CHR events can be used for observation. This function has taken
effect if any of the following conditions is met:
– The CHR event PRIVATE_INTRA_RAT_HO_OUT.HoCause contains the
cause value LOW_SPEED_UE_OUT_GOING_BASED.
– The CHR event PRIVATE_UE_RELEASE.RedirectionTrigger contains the
cause value LOW_SPEED_UE_OUT_GOING.
● High-speed UE return
Observe the values of N.RRCRedirection.HighSpeedUser and
N.RRCRedirection.N2E.HighSpeedUser to check whether this function has
taken effect. If both counters have values other than 0, this function has
taken effect.
● Differentiated configuration between high- and low-speed UEs
– Differentiated configuration of handover parameters
After this function is enabled, observe the RRC signaling of low-speed
UEs to check whether the corresponding handover measurement
parameters are delivered based on the configured values in the RRC
reconfiguration message.

– Differentiated DRX
After this function is enabled, observe the value of the
N.Cdrx.Sleep.Dur.Total counter to check whether this function has taken
effect. If the value of this counter is not 0, this function has taken effect.
– Differentiated EPS fallback
After this function is enabled, observe the E-UTRAN frequency
measurement information delivered in the RRC reconfiguration message
during EPS fallback of low-speed UEs. If low-speed E-UTRAN frequencies
are preferentially delivered (in the front of the measObjectToAddModList
IE), this function has taken effect.
– Differentiated UE inactivity timer
After this function is enabled, check whether the duration from the time
when a low-speed UE does not perform data transmission to the time
when the network initiates a release is consistent with the configuration.
