1.2.2.5 Multimode Technical Specifications of Main Control Boards

Co-MPT refers to the scenario where a main control board works in multiple
modes. Multimode co-MPT technical specifications include the number of carriers,
number of cells, and number of UEs in co-MPT scenarios among GSM, UMTS, NR,
and LTE. Unless otherwise specified, in this section, LTE (L for short) refers to LTE
FDD, LTE TDD, and LTE NB-IoT, and NR (N for short) refers to NR FDD and NR
TDD.
● Co-MPT scenarios comply with the specifications of each single RAT.

● In this section, the co-MPT specifications involving NR TDD is applicable to
sub-6 GHz scenarios.
● In typical GL/UL/LN/GUL/GULN scenarios, LTE FDD and LTE TDD dynamically
share the LTE specifications of the main control board. NR FDD and NR TDD
dynamically share the NR specifications of the main control board.
● In typical GL/UL/LN/GUL/GULN scenarios where the specifications of GSM
and UMTS remain unchanged, the LTE FDD capacity of the main control
board is affected after LTE NB-IoT is introduced. That is, LTE FDD and LTE NB-
IoT share the number of LTE FDD cells and number of UEs in RRC connected
mode of the main control board before LTE NB-IoT is introduced.
● When the UMPT works in GSM, UMTS, LTE, and NR modes, these modes
dynamically share main control resources in terms of signaling specifications,

1.2.3 Technical Specifications of Baseband Processing Units

Baseband processing units include the LBBP and WBBP that support only one RAT
as well as the UBBP that supports multiple RATs. As system designs differ, the
technical specifications supported by baseband processing units vary with the
RATs. When the specifications of a baseband processing unit are limited, you can
replace it with one of higher specifications or add a new one.
1.2.3.1 GSM Technical Specifications of Baseband Processing Units

The GSM technical specifications of the baseband processing unit include the
number of 2R carriers and number of 4R carriers.
In this section, UBBP specifications are described as follows:
● GSM baseband supports two work modes: In non-baseband extension mode,
baseband resources are processed by RF modules. In baseband extension
mode, baseband resources are processed by an independent baseband
processing unit. Only UBBPd boards support the baseband extension mode.
● Regarding the number of carriers, "2R" is short for 1T2R or 2T2R, and "4R" is
short for 1T4R or 2T4R.
● The bandwidth of a single GSM carrier is fixed to 200 kHz.
The following table lists the technical specifications per baseband processing unit
in GSM mode.

1.2.3.2 UMTS Technical Specifications of Baseband Processing Units

The UMTS technical specifications of a baseband processing unit include the
number of cells, number of UL/DL CEs, number of HSDPA codes, and number of
HSDPA/HSUPA UEs. The specifications of baseband processing units may vary with
the types.
The specifications of the WBBP and UBBP in this section are described as follows:
● For the WBBP, "2R" in "Number of 2R Cells" is short for 1T2R. For the UBBP,
"2R" in "Number of 2R Cells" is short for 1T2R or 2T2R. For the WBBPf/UBBP,
"4R" in "Number of 4R Cells" is short for 1T4R, 2T4R, or 4T4R.
● The WBBP does not support mixed configuration of 2R and 4R cells.
● The number of HSDPA codes is represented by AxB, in which A is the number
of cells and B is the number of HSDPA codes supported by each cell. In the

BBU
following tables, the maximum number of HSDPA codes supported by a board

is provided when the board is configured with 2R or 4R cells.
● The bandwidth of a single UMTS carrier is fixed to 5 MHz.
In UMTS scenarios, the UBBP supports mixed configuration of 2R and 4R cells.

Assume that the UBBP supports mixed configuration of x 2R cells and y 4R cells.
The following conditions must be met:
● UBBPd2/UBBPd4/UBBPd5/UBBPe2: (x + y) ≤ 6
● Other boards: (x + 2y) ≤ Number of 2R cells supported by the UBBP and y <
Number of 4R cells supported by the UBBP
● If a BBU3900 is configured with both the WBBP and UBBP and the WBBP
provides optical fiber connections, the UBBP that does not provide optical
fiber connections cannot provide the following specifications.
The following tables list the technical specifications per baseband processing unit

1.2.3.3 LTE Technical Specifications of Baseband Processing Units

The LTE technical specifications of a baseband processing unit include the
technical specifications when the baseband processing unit works in LTE FDD, LTE
TDD, LTE NB-IoT, and multimode concurrency scenarios.
● The cell number specifications of baseband processing units in 32T32R/
64T64R scenarios are not backward compatible with the specifications in
scenarios of 8T8R or lower configurations. If a baseband processing unit
supports specifications in 32T32R/64T64R scenarios and those in scenarios of
8T8R or lower configurations, these specifications will be described separately
in this document.
● Unless otherwise specified, it is recommended that the BBP.WM parameter be
set to NORMAL(Normal) for the UBBP and to FDD(Frequency Division
Duplex) for other types of boards.
● The BBP.SRT parameter can be set to FDD_ENHANCE(FDD Enhance),
FDD_ENHANCE2(FDD Enhance 2), TDD_ENHANCE(TDD Enhance),
TDD_ENHANCE2(TDD Enhance 2), NBIOT_ENHANCE(NBIOT Enhance),
NR_ENHANCE(NR Enhance), NR_ENHANCE2(NR Enhance 2), or
UMTS_ENHANCE(UMTS Enhance) for some UBBP boards working in
multiple RATs. Such setting allows LTE FDD, LTE TDD, LTE NB-IoT, NR, or
UMTS to occupy more baseband resources. Unless otherwise specified, the
specifications refer to the co-BBP specifications when the BBP.SRT parameter
is set to DEFAULT(Default).
1.2.3.3.1 LTE FDD Technical Specifications of Baseband Processing Units

The LTE FDD technical specifications of a baseband processing unit include the
number of UEs, number of DRBs, signaling specifications, throughput and number
of cells.
These specifications are as follows:

BBU
Table 1-33 LTE FDD technical specifications of baseband processing units
Category Description
Cell Number ● Cell number specifications refer to the number of

Specifications cells with different bandwidths and antenna
configurations.
● When a cell is bound to multiple pieces of sector
equipment, the number of cells refers to the number
of pieces of sector equipment or number of sector
equipment groups.
● For FDD massive MIMO cells, the number of cells
refers to the number of sector split groups.
UE Number UE number specifications refer to the number of UEs in

Specifications RRC connected mode and number of uplink
synchronized UEs.
DRB Number DRB number specifications refer to the number of

Specifications DRBs.
Throughput Throughput specifications include the uplink and

Specifications downlink throughput of cells and boards.
Signaling Signaling specifications are measured in BHCA. For the

Specifications definition of BHCA, see Control-Plane Traffic Model.
Number of CA UEs ● The number of carrier aggregation (CA) UEs is the

and Number of sum of the maximum number of primary
VoLTE UEs component carrier (PCC) UEs and the maximum
number of secondary component carrier (SCC) UEs
in different CA scenarios.
● The number of VoLTE UEs refers to the number of
voice service UEs using the IMS voice solution.
Cell Number Specifications

LTE FDD cells support bandwidths of 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz,
and 20 MHz, and various antenna configurations, such as 2T2R/4T4R/8T8R/
32T32R. 8T8R or higher antenna configurations are supported when the
bandwidth is at least 5 MHz. The number of LTE FDD cells is expressed as A x B
nTnR, indicating A cells, B bandwidth of each cell, and nTnR antenna
configuration. For example, 3x5/10/15/20 MHz 4T4R indicates three cells, where
the bandwidth of each cell can be 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, or 20 MHz, and the
antenna configuration is 4T4R. When mixed configuration of cell number
specifications exists, the cell number specifications are connected by using a plus
sign (+).
This part describes the maximum number of cells supported by each baseband
processing unit with different cell bandwidths and antenna configurations. The
capabilities of baseband processing units for mixed configuration of cells with
different antenna configurations are as follows:

BBU
● Unless otherwise specified, the LBBP does not support mixed configuration of
2T2R and 4T4R cells.
● Unless otherwise specified, the UBBPe/UBBPg supports mixed configuration of
2T2R and 4T4R cells. The maximum number of cells that can be configured in
mixed configuration scenarios is calculated as follows: Min (number of 2T2R-
only cells, number of 4T4R-only cells).
● Unless otherwise specified, the UBBPe/UBBPg does not support mixed
configuration of 2T2R, 4T4R, and 32T32R cells.
● Unless otherwise specified, a baseband processing unit that supports 2T2R
cells is compatible with 1T1R and 1T2R cells by default. And the number of
supported 1T1R and 1T2R cells is the same as that of supported 2T2R cells.
● Unless otherwise specified, a baseband processing unit that supports 4T4R
cells is compatible with 2T4R cells by default. And the number of supported
2T4R cells is the same as that of supported 4T4R cells.
The number of in-band LTE NB-IoT carriers that can be deployed on LTE FDD cells
for each baseband processing unit working in LTE FDD mode is as follows:
● For an LBBPd, one in-band LTE NB-IoT carrier can be deployed on each LTE
FDD cell.
● For a UBBPd, one in-band LTE NB-IoT carrier can be deployed on each LTE
FDD cell.
● For a UBBPe, four in-band LTE NB-IoT carriers can be deployed on each LTE
FDD cell.
● For a UBBPg, four in-band LTE NB-IoT carriers can be deployed on each LTE
FDD cell.

(1): The number of UL synchronized UEs supported by an LBBP can reach 3600
by specifying the MaxSyncUserNumPerBbi parameter. The increase of UEs,
however, may cause user experience and system performance to deteriorate.
Therefore, it is not recommended that this parameter be used to increase the
number of supported UEs to over 1200.

Number of CA UEs and Number of VoLTE UEs

The maximum number of CA UEs supported by a baseband processing unit is the
sum of the maximum number of primary component carrier (PCC) UEs and the
maximum number of secondary component carrier (SCC) UEs supported by the
board, including the specifications in different CA scenarios. This specification,
calculated based on model 1, meets the following requirements:
● Number of non-CA UEs + Number of PCC CA UEs x [1 + (N - 1) x0.5] +
Number of SCC CA UEs x 0.5 ≤ Number of UEs in RRC connected mode, where
N indicates the number of aggregated carriers, for example, N = 2 in 2CC CA.
● The maximum number of PCC CA UEs cannot exceed the number of CA UEs
listed in the following tables. For example, the UBBPd3 board supports a
maximum of 750 PCC-served 2CC CA UEs or 500 PCC-served 3CC CA UEs
when it carries only PCC-served UEs.
● Number of non-CA UEs + Number of PCC CA UEs + Number of SCC CA UEs ≤
Number of UEs in RRC connected mode

LTE TDD cells support bandwidths of 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, and 20 MHz and
antenna configurations of 2T2R/4T4R/8T8R/32T32R/64T64R. 8T8R or higher
antenna configurations are supported when the bandwidth is at least 10 MHz. The
number of LTE TDD cells is expressed as A x B nTnR, indicating A cells, B
bandwidth of each cell, and nTnR antenna configuration. For example,
3x5/10/15/20 MHz 4T4R indicates three cells, where the bandwidth of each cell
can be 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, or 20 MHz, and the antenna configuration is
4T4R. When mixed configuration of cell number specifications exists, the cell
number specifications are connected by using a plus sign (+).
This part describes the maximum number of cells supported by each baseband
processing unit with different cell bandwidths and antenna configurations. Unless
otherwise specified, the cell number specifications are supported when the
subframe configuration is SA1 or SA2.

equipment groups.

Specifications RRC connected mode and number of attached UEs.



The bandwidth of a single LTE NB-IoT carrier is 200 kHz. A single LTE NB-IoT cell
supports a single carrier and multiple carriers. The antenna configuration can be
2T2R or 4T4R.
A single cell on the LBBP supports a fixed number of carriers (1/2). The
corresponding cell bandwidth is fixed to 200/400 kHz. The number of cells
supported by a baseband processing unit is expressed by AxB nTnR, where A
indicates the number of cells, B indicates the cell bandwidth (200 kHz/400 kHz),
and nTnR indicates 2T2R or 4T4R. This part provides only the maximum number of
cells in each configuration. This specification is compatible with lower cell
configurations (bandwidth and antenna configurations). For example, if a
baseband processing unit supports a maximum of 3x400 kHz 4T4R cells, the
downwards compatible specifications are as follows:

BBU
● 3x200 kHz 4T4R. If 3x200 kHz 4T4R is configured, 400 kHz cells cannot be
configured.
● 3x400 kHz 2T2R. If 3x400 kHz 2T2R is configured, 4T4R cells cannot be
configured.
A single cell on the UBBP supports flexible carrier configuration. That is, a cell can
be configured with any number of carriers within the board specifications (number
of cells and number of carriers). The number of cells supported by a baseband
processing unit is expressed by A carriers (200 kHz, 2T2R/4T4R) over B cells, where
A indicates the number of carriers and B indicates the number of cells. A 200 kHz
2T2R/4T4R carriers can be allocated to B cells and each cell is allocated a number
of carriers.
Different series of baseband processing units have the following restrictions in LTE
NB-IoT flexible carrier configuration scenarios:
● For the UBBPd/UBBPe working in LTE NB-IoT only, a maximum of eight
carriers can be configured for a single cell. In multimode concurrency with LTE
NB-IoT included, a maximum of two carriers can be configured for a single
cell.
● For the UBBPg in LTE NB-IoT single-mode or multimode scenarios, a
maximum of eight carriers can be configured for a single cell.
When mixed configuration of cell number specifications exists, the cell number
specifications are connected by using a plus sign (+).

● For FDD massive MIMO cells, the number of cells
refers to the number of sector split groups.


Specifications downlink throughput of boards.


When the baseband processing unit works in both LTE FDD and LTE NB-IoT
modes, the number of cells is expressed as A+B, where A and B indicate the
number of cells supported by LTE FDD and that supported by LTE NB-IoT,
respectively. For example, in 3x1.4/3/5/10 MHz 4T4R + 3x200 kHz 2T2R,
3x1.4/3/5/10 MHz 4T4R indicates the number of LTE FDD cells, and 3x200 kHz
2T2R indicates the number of LTE NB-IoT cells.
The number of in-band LTE NB-IoT carriers that can be deployed on LTE FDD cells
for each baseband processing unit working in LTE FDD+NB-IoT mode is as follows:
● For a UBBPd/UBBPe, two in-band LTE NB-IoT carriers can be deployed on
each LTE FDD cell. For a UBBPd, if BBP.SRT is set to FDD_ENHANCE, in-band
NB-IoT cells cannot be deployed on the LTE FDD cells served by the baseband
processing unit.
● For a UBBPg, three in-band LTE NB-IoT carriers can be deployed on each LTE
FDD cell.

equipment groups.




NR TDD cells support the following spectrum types:
● Sub-6 GHz
– Sub-6 GHz indicates frequency bands below 6 GHz. According to 3GPP
specifications, the single-carrier bandwidth is 20 MHz, 30 MHz, 40 MHz,
50 MHz, 60 MHz, 70 MHz, 80 MHz, 90 MHz or 100 MHz, and the
supported antenna configurations include 1T1R, 2T2R, 4T4R, 8T8R,
32T32R, and 64T64R. The cell number specification is expressed as AxB
nTnR, indicating A cells, B bandwidth of each cell, and nTnR antenna
configuration. For example, 3x20/30/40/50/60/70/80/90/100 MHz 64T64R
indicates three cells, where the bandwidth of each cell is the same (20
MHz, 30 MHz, 40 MHz, 50 MHz, 60 MHz, 70 MHz, 80 MHz, 90 MHz, or
100 MHz), and the cell antenna configuration is 64T64R. When mixed
configuration of cell number specifications exists, the cell number
specifications are connected by using a plus sign (+).
– When multiple sub-6 GHz cells are established on one baseband
processing unit, the bandwidth, TX/RX mode, slot assignment, and frame
offset must be consistent for the cells, and the CPRI/eCPRI interface types
must be consistent for the involved RF modules. 32T32R and 64T64R
sub-6 GHz cells with the same bandwidth can be configured on the same
UBBPg. When 32T32R or 64T64R cells are configured on the UBBPg3/
UBBPg3b, mixed configuration of different bandwidths is allowed. For
example, when the UBBPg3 is configured with 32T32R cells, the cell

BBU
number specification is expressed as 3xA 32T32R + 3xB 32T32R, which

indicates three 32T32R cells with bandwidth A and three 32T32R cells
with bandwidth B. A and B can be different.
● Sub-6 GHz + SUL
Sub-6 GHz+NR SUL indicates that sub-6 GHz is used together with sub-3 GHz
(such as n80, n82, n83, n84, and n86) frequency bands. Sub-3 GHz is used
only for transmitting uplink data. The SUL frequency bands n83 and n82
require 10 MHz bandwidth, and the frequency bands n80, n84, and n86
require 15 MHz or 20 MHz bandwidth.
The SUL cell number specification is expressed as CxD nR, indicating C cells, D
bandwidth of each cell, and nR antenna configuration. For example,
3x10/15/20 MHz 2R/4R indicates three cells, where the bandwidth of each cell
can be 10 MHz, 15 MHz, or 20 MHz, and the antenna configuration is 2R or
4R.
When the spectrum type is sub-6 GHz+SUL, the cell number specification is
expressed using the sum of the sub-6 GHz cell number specification and SUL
cell number specification, that is, AxB nTnR + CxD nR.
For example, 3x40/50/60/70/80/90/100 MHz 64T64R+3x10/15/20 MHz 2R/4R
indicates three sub-6 GHz cells, where the bandwidth of each cell can be 40
MHz, 50 MHz, 60 MHz, 70 MHz, 80 MHz, 90 MHz, or 100 MHz, and the cell
antenna configuration is 64T64R, and three SUL cells, where the bandwidth of
each cell can be 10 MHz, 15 MHz, or 20 MHz, and the antenna configuration
is 2R or 4R.
● mmWave
mmWave indicates millimeter wave bands. 3GPP defines the n257, n258,
n260, and n261 bands as mmWave. A high frequency band has a relatively
wide spectrum bandwidth, such as 400 MHz and 800 MHz. However, the
single-carrier bandwidths defined in 3GPP specifications are 100 MHz and 200
MHz, and the supported antenna configurations are 2T2R, 4T4R, and 8T8R.
Therefore, when the spectrum type is mmWave, the cell number specification
is expressed as ExFxG nTnR, where E indicates the number of sectors, F
indicates the number of carriers in each sector, and G indicates the bandwidth
of each carrier.
For example, 3x4x100 MHz 4T4R indicates three sectors, four carriers for each
sector, and 100 MHz bandwidth of each carrier. It can be understood as three
sectors each with 400 MHz or twelve cells each with 100 MHz.
The cell number specifications in mmWave scenarios vary by the CPRI or
eCPRI port used by the baseband processing unit.
When multiple mmWave cells are established on one baseband processing
unit, the bandwidth, TX/RX mode, and slot configuration must be consistent
for the cells, and the CPRI/eCPRI interface types must be consistent for the
involved RF modules. Sub-6 GHz cells and mmWave cells cannot be
configured on the same baseband processing unit.
The following tables list the maximum number of cells per baseband processing
unit in different spectrum type, bandwidth, and antenna configurations. The
baseband processing unit supports the following slot configurations: 8:2 and 4:1.
Unless otherwise specified, the cell number specifications are supported when the
slot configuration is 8:2 or 4:1.

1.2.3.4.3 NR FDD+TDD Technical Specifications of Baseband Processing Units

The technical specifications of a baseband processing unit working in both NR
FDD and NR TDD include the number of cells, number of UEs, and signaling
specifications.
NOTE
● The specifications-related configuration principles and restrictions in NR FDD and NR

TDD single-RAT scenarios, for example, those regarding antenna configurations and cell
bandwidths, apply to NR FDD+TDD co-BBP scenarios. Take the cell number
specifications as an example. NR FDD supports any mixed configuration of cells with
5/10/15/20 MHz bandwidth and 1T1R/2T2R/2T4R/4T4R antenna configuration in single-
RAT scenarios and it also supports such mixed configuration in NR FDD+TDD co-BBP
scenarios. NR TDD does not support mixed configuration of different bandwidths in
single-RAT scenarios and it also does not support such mixed configuration in NR FDD
+TDD co-BBP scenarios.
● In NR FDD+TDD co-BBP scenarios, the Frame Offset parameter must be set to the
same value for NR FDD and NR TDD cells.
● After a single mode is expanded to NR FDD+NR TDD, the specifications (such as
throughput) of the single mode may decrease.

1.2.3.5 Multimode Technical Specifications of Baseband Processing Units

Co-BBP refers to the scenario where a baseband processing unit works in multiple
RATs, including GSM/UMTS/LTE/NR. Co-BBP specifications vary by the UBBP.
● In this document, G is short for GSM, U is short for UMTS, L is short for LTE
FDD, T is short for LTE TDD, M is short for LTE NB-IoT. N (FDD) is short for
NR FDD and N (TDD) is short for NR TDD.
● Co-BBP scenarios comply with the specifications of each single RAT.
● To simplify the description, the maximum number of cells is displayed in co-
BBP scenarios for each single RAT, instead of the cell number specifications in
all TX/RX modes. Take the UBBPe4 as an example. In UL co-BBP scenarios, the
maximum number of LTE FDD cells is 3x1.4/3/5/10/15/20 MHz 4T4R, and the
cell number specifications in 2T4R, 2T2R, 1T2R, and 1T1R are not enumerated.
3x1.4/3/5/10/15/20 MHz 2T4R/2T2R/1T2R/1T1R is supported by default.
set to NORMAL(Normal) for the UBBP and to FDD(Frequency Division
Duplex) for other types of boards.
● The BBP.SRT parameter can be set to FDD_ENHANCE(FDD Enhance),
FDD_ENHANCE2(FDD Enhance 2), TDD_ENHANCE(TDD Enhance),
TDD_ENHANCE2(TDD Enhance 2), NBIOT_ENHANCE(NBIOT Enhance),
NR_ENHANCE(NR Enhance), NR_ENHANCE2(NR Enhance 2), or
UMTS_ENHANCE(UMTS Enhance) for some UBBP boards working in
multiple RATs. Such setting allows LTE FDD, LTE TDD, LTE NB-IoT, NR, or
UMTS to occupy more baseband resources. Unless otherwise specified, the
specifications refer to the co-BBP specifications when the BBP.SRT parameter
is set to DEFAULT(Default).

1.2.3.5.1 LN (TDD) Technical Specifications of Baseband Processing Units

The LN (TDD) technical specifications of a baseband processing unit consist of
technical specifications in single-mode scenarios.
The following table lists the LN (TDD) co-BBP specifications per UBBP.

BBU
NOTE
● The expression of cell number specifications of each RAT in multimode co-BBP scenarios
● The specifications-related configuration principles and restrictions in single-RAT
scenarios, for example, those regarding antenna configurations and cell bandwidths,
apply to multimode co-BBP scenarios. Take the cell number specifications as an
example. NR FDD supports any mixed configuration of cells with 5/10/15/20 MHz
bandwidth and 1T1R/2T2R/2T4R/4T4R antenna configuration in single-RAT scenarios
and it also supports such mixed configuration in LN (FDD) co-BBP scenarios. NR TDD
does not support mixed configuration of different bandwidths in single-RAT scenarios
and it also does not support such mixed configuration in LN (TDD) co-BBP scenarios.

share the LTE specifications of the main control board.
● Both LTE and NR cells support multiple bandwidths. For example, LTE FDD
cells support bandwidth configurations of 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz,
15 MHz, and 20 MHz. For simplicity, the cell number specifications of LTE and
NR cells in this section only use the maximum bandwidth. For example, the
20 MHz bandwidth is used for LTE FDD cells.
● The BBU capacity specification is the smaller value between the total
specification of the main control board and that of the baseband processing
unit. There are many multi-RAT configuration combinations. The following
multi-RAT capacity specifications are provided only in typical configurations.
● If GSM is configured with 72 TRXs (S24/24/24), each TRX can be configured

main control board. NR FDD and NR TDD dynamically share the signaling
● In typical GL/UL/GUL scenarios where the specifications of GSM and UMTS
remain unchanged, the allocation of LTE FDD signaling specifications of the
main control board is affected after NB-IoT is introduced because LTE FDD
and NB-IoT share the LTE signaling specifications on the main control board.
On commercial networks, it is recommended that 30% of LTE signaling
processing specifications be allocated to LTE NB-IoT.

On live networks, the specifications of the main control board and baseband
processing unit depend on the processing capability of the hardware and the
traffic model. The configuration specifications of the main control board,
baseband processing unit, and BBU vary by traffic model. This section describes
Huawei traffic models.
1.9.1 LTE Traffic Model

This section describes the traffic models for LTE FDD, LTE TDD, and LTE NB-IoT.
The traffic models for LTE FDD and LTE TDD are the same.
1.9.1.1 LTE FDD Traffic Model

This section defines the LTE FDD traffic models.
The LTE FDD traffic models include:
● Model 1
This traffic model derives from a typical LTE network where smartphones
dominate. UEs in this traffic model are characterized by short online duration,
frequent network access and connection release, high mobility, and a large
number of small-packet data services.
● Model 2
This traffic model derives from a typical LTE network where data cards
dominate. LTE dongles and customer premises equipment (CPE) are examples

BBU
of such data cards. UEs in this traffic model are characterized by long online
duration, low mobility, and a large number of large-packet data services.
Control-Plane Traffic Model

The following table describes the control-plane specifications for traffic models 1
and 2.

@BH means "at busy hours". Traffic models described in the table are
obtained during busy hours.
Busy Hour Call Attempts (BHCA) is the number of calls attempted at a busy hour.
Signaling procedures required for completing a call may include call setup and
release (including CS fallback if it occurs) and the following activities during the
on-hold call: handover, tracking area update (TAU), bearer setup and release, and
switching between the in-synchronization state and the out-of-synchronization
state. BHCA indicates the signaling processing capabilities of a system. A busy-
hour call initiated on different operator networks involves different types and
numbers of signaling procedures and therefore consumes different amounts of
eNodeB resources. As a result, the BHCA capability varies depending on the call
model.
Based on the definition of traffic model 1, one BHCA (that is, one combined PS
call) is defined by taking every item in traffic model 1 divided by the PS call
density. The details of one BHCA are listed below.
