MRFD-131263 LTE FDD and NR Uplink Spectrum

Sharing (NR)

3 LTE FDD and NR Uplink Spectrum Sharing

3.1 Principles

5G is usually deployed in the C-band frequency band in the early stage of 5G network
construction. C-band's uplink coverage is inferior to its downlink coverage, and that affects
the deployment of 5G networks. UL and DL Decoupling can be used in areas with limited
NR uplink coverage to allow downlink data to be transmitted in C-band and uplink data to
be transmitted in a sub-3 GHz frequency band. If operators do not have dedicated sub-3
GHz uplink spectrum for 5G, UL and DL Decoupling cannot be used. LTE FDD and NR
Uplink Spectrum Sharing is introduced to allow for the sharing of uplink low-band
spectrum resources between LTE FDD and NR. The uplink low-band spectrum sharing
serves as a basis for NR UL and DL Decoupling and improves NR uplink coverage. Figure
3-1 shows LTE FDD and NR uplink spectrum sharing. For details about UL and DL
Decoupling, see UL and DL Decoupling.
 Figure 3-1 LTE FDD and NR uplink spectrum sharing

In addition, both static and dynamic uplink spectrum sharing is supported. Operators can
choose static sharing or dynamic sharing based on their network plans. Unless otherwise
specified, the following descriptions apply to both static sharing and dynamic sharing.
Dynamic sharing is recommended to achieve higher spectral efficiency.
For ease of description, LTE is used to refer to LTE FDD, for example, LTE FDD cells are
referred to as LTE cells. The NR cells in this function refer to NR supplementary uplink
(SUL) cells.
3.1.1 Static Spectrum Sharing

Technical Principles

In static spectrum sharing, eNodeB and gNodeB share spectrum resources based on a pre-
configured percentage of LTE and NR uplink physical channel resources, as shown in Figure
3-2.

Figure 3-2 LTE and NR static uplink spectrum sharing

This function implements:

 Dynamic spectrum allocation to sounding reference signals (SRSs) between LTE and
NR in the time domain based on the traffic volumes of LTE and NR networks to
improve the resource usage.
 Coordinated scheduling of uplink physical channel resources to avoid interference
during LTE and NR uplink spectrum sharing.
Coordinated scheduling of uplink physical channel resources can be performed only when
LTE and NR subframes are aligned. Alignment is configured by the LTE parameter
CellFrameOffset.FrameOffset or ENodeBFrameOffset.FddFrameOffset (If these
parameters are both configured, the value of the CellFrameOffset.FrameOffset
parameter prevails.), and the NR parameter gNodeBParam.FrameOffset. When LTE and NR
subframes are aligned, the uplink physical channel resources are scheduled as follows:
 NR physical uplink control channel (PUCCH): The NR PUCCH occupies symmetrical
RBs at the two ends of the bandwidth. Eight RBs are reserved for the NR PUCCH.
 LTE PUCCH: The LTE PUCCH is symmetrically configured adjacent to the NR
PUCCH at the two ends of the bandwidth. The start position of the LTE PUCCH at the
lower end and the end position of the LTE PUCCH at the upper end are fixed. The
specific start and end positions are described in Table 3-1. The number of RBs occupied
by the LTE PUCCH is parameter specified. For details, see the descriptions of the
PUCCH in Physical Channel Resource Management in eRAN Feature Documentation.
In this function, the LTE PUCCH can occupy a maximum of 16 RBs. If the number of
RBs occupied by the LTE PUCCH exceeds this value, SRSs may be interfered and
network performance may be affected.
Table 3-1 Start and end positions of the LTE PUCCH (static spectrum sharing)

Bandwidth Start RB Index at the Lower End RB Index at the Upper

End End

10 MHz 3 46

15 MHz 2 72

20 MHz 1 98

Assume that 12 RBs are configured for the LTE PUCCH in 15 MHz bandwidth
scenarios. Then, the LTE PUCCH occupies RBs with indexes 2 to 7 at the lower end,
and occupies RBs with indexes 67 to 72 at the upper end.
 LTE physical random access channels (PRACH): The LTE PRACH is configured
adjacent to the LTE PUCCH at the lower end. Six RBs are reserved for the LTE
PRACH.
 NR PRACH: The NR PRACH is configured adjacent to the LTE PUCCH at the upper
end. The frequency-domain start position of the NR PRACH is specified by the
NRDUCell.PrachFreqStartPosition parameter. Six RBs are reserved for the NR PRACH.
For example, if the LTE PUCCH occupies RBs with indexes 69 to 72 at the upper end in
15 MHz bandwidth scenarios, the NRDUCell.PrachFreqStartPosition parameter must be
 set to 63 so that the NR PRACH occupies RBs with indexes 63 to 68. The LTE PUCCH
and NR PRACH require the configurations of other related parameters. For details about
how to configure these parameters, see 3.4.2.1 Data Preparation.
 LTE and NR physical uplink shared channels (PUSCHs): The total resources available
for the LTE and NR PUSCHs equal the total available spectrum resources minus the
resources occupied by the LTE and NR PUCCHs and PRACHs. LTE and NR statically
share the total available PUSCH resources based on a pre-configured percentage.
The configuration of the frequency-domain start position of the NR PRACH involves the
RB index relationship between LTE and NR. As NR occupies some LTE guard band, the
number of available RBs for NR is greater than the number of available RBs for LTE. In
addition, LTE and NR spectrum sharing requires that the center frequencies of LTE and NR
be aligned, and the RB index relationship between LTE and NR is as follows:
 In 10 MHz bandwidth scenarios, NR can use 52 RBs, with the RB indexes ranging from
0 to 51; LTE can use 50 RBs, with the RB indexes ranging from 0 to 49. The RB index
deviation between NR and LTE is 1. Specifically, the index of a certain RB on the NR
side equals the index on the LTE side plus one.
 In 15 MHz bandwidth scenarios, NR can use 79 RBs, with the RB indexes ranging from
0 to 78; LTE can use 75 RBs, with the RB indexes ranging from 0 to 74. The RB index
deviation between NR and LTE is 2. Specifically, the index of a certain RB on the NR
side equals the index on the LTE side plus two.
 In 20 MHz bandwidth scenarios, NR can use 106 RBs, with the RB indexes ranging
from 0 to 105; LTE can use 100 RBs, with the RB indexes ranging from 0 to 99. The RB
index deviation between NR and LTE is 3. Specifically, the index of a certain RB on the
NR side equals the index on the LTE side plus three.

Function Configuration

This function requires that LTE and NR be configured with the same clock source and be
time synchronized. The function switches and related parameters on the two sides must be
configured.
 Configure LTE parameters TASM.MODE, TASM.CLKSRC, PEERCLK.PN,
PEERCLK.PNT, PEERCLK.PS, and TASM.CLKSYNCMODE. The NR SUL cell is
already time synchronized with the NR C-band cell. Therefore, in separate-MPT
LTE/NR scenarios, when the clock sources configured for the LTE and NR sides are
inconsistent, the clock source for the LTE side must be changed to the same as that for
the NR side, and time synchronization must be achieved. In co-MPT LTE/NR scenarios,
the LTE and NR sides already share the clock source and are time synchronized, and
reconfiguration is not required. If the requirements on the clock source and time
synchronization are not met, the NR cell fails to be activated.
 On the LTE side, set the SpectrumCloud.SpectrumCloudSwitch parameter to
LTE_NR_UPLINK_SPECTRUM_SHR to enable static spectrum sharing. In addition,
perform the following configurations:
 Add LTE cells to an LTE spectrum sharing cell group by configuring the
SpectrumCloud.LocalCellId and
SpectrumCloud.LteNrSpectrumShrCellGrpId parameters.
 Set the LTE and NR uplink spectrum sharing mode to static by setting the
LteNrSpctShrCellGrp.LteNrUlSpectrumShrMode parameter to
STATIC_SHARING. The uplink spectrum sharing mode on the LTE side must be
identical with that on the NR side.
 Configure the percentage of uplink spectrum allocated to NR via the
LteNrSpctShrCellGrp.RateOfUlSpectrumAllocToNr parameter. The uplink
spectrum allocated to NR based on this percentage indicates the LTE available
spectrum excluding the LTE guard band.
The actual percentage of uplink spectrum allocated to NR slightly differs from the
parameter setting, and can be calculated using the following formula: Actual
percentage of uplink spectrum allocated to NR = (Number of RBs occupied by the
NR PUCCH + Number of RBs occupied by the NR PRACH + Number of RBs
occupied by the NR PUSCH)/Total number of shared RBs = (Total number of shared
RBs – Number of RBs occupied by the LTE PUCCH – Number of RBs occupied by
the LTE PRACH – Number of RBs occupied by the LTE PUSCH)/Total number of
shared RBs.
To ensure the provisioning of basic LTE and NR services, both of the following
requirements must be met:
 The number of RBs occupied by the LTE PUCCH must be greater than or equal to
4. LTE PRACH always occupies 6 RBs. Therefore, LTE must have at least 10
RBs.
 The number of RBs in LTE available bandwidth occupied by the NR PUCCH
must be equal to 6 (in 10 MHz bandwidth scenarios), 4 (in 15 MHz bandwidth
scenarios), or 2 (in 20 MHz bandwidth scenarios). NR PRACH always occupies 6
RBs. That is, a 10 MHz, 15 MHz, and 20 MHz NR cell occupies at least 12 in-
band RBs, 10 in-band RBs, and 8 in-band RBs, respectively.

The NR PUCCH occupies both the LTE guard band and LTE available bandwidth, and other
physical channels occupy only the LTE available bandwidth.

 Configure the LTE and NR co-carrier co-CPRI data switch via the
LteNrSpctShrCellGrp.LteNrCoCarrCoCpriDataSw parameter. This parameter
can be set to ON only when LTE and NR use the CPRI MUX topology. When this
parameter is set to ON, the requirements on the CPRI bandwidth are reduced.
 On the NR side, select the LTE_NR_UL_SPECTRUM_SHARING_SW option of the
NRDUCellAlgoSwitch.SpectrumCloudSwitch parameter to enable static spectrum sharing.
In addition, perform the following configurations:
 Configure the association between the LTE spectrum sharing cell group and the NR
spectrum sharing cell group via the gNBDULteNrSpctShrCg.NrSpctShrCellGrpId and
gNBDULteNrSpctShrCg.LteSpctShrCellGrpId parameters.
 Add NR SUL cells to the NR spectrum sharing cell group by setting the
NRDUCellSpctCloud.NrDuCellId and NRDUCellSpctCloud.NrSpctShrCellGrpId
parameters.
 Set the uplink spectrum sharing mode to static by setting the
gNBDULteNrSpctShrCg.LteNrUlSpectrumShrMode parameter to
STATIC_SHARING. The uplink spectrum sharing mode on the NR side must be
identical with that on the LTE side.
In addition to the preceding parameter configurations, you also need to set the parameters
in Technical Principles.
3.1.2 Dynamic Spectrum Sharing

Technical Principles

In dynamic spectrum sharing, LTE and NR uplink physical channels share spectrum
resources based on the service priority (negotiated between the eNodeB and gNodeB) and
spectrum sharing priority (specified by the
LteNrSpctShrCellGrp.LteNrUlSpectrumShrPriority parameter), as shown in Figure 3-
3.
Figure 3-3 Dynamic uplink spectrum sharing

This function implements:

 Dynamic spectrum allocation to SRSs between LTE and NR in the time domain based
on the traffic volumes of LTE and NR networks to improve the resource usage.
 Coordinated scheduling of uplink physical channel resources to avoid interference
during LTE and NR uplink spectrum sharing.
Coordinated scheduling of uplink physical channel resources can be performed only when
LTE and NR subframes are aligned. Alignment is configured by the LTE parameter
CellFrameOffset.FrameOffset or ENodeBFrameOffset.FddFrameOffset (If these
parameters are both configured, the value of the CellFrameOffset.FrameOffset
parameter prevails.), and the NR parameter gNodeBParam.FrameOffset. When LTE and NR
subframes are aligned, the uplink physical channel resources are scheduled as follows:
 NR PUCCH: The NR PUCCH occupies symmetrical RBs at the two ends of the
bandwidth. Ten RBs are reserved for the NR PUCCH.
 LTE PUCCH: The LTE PUCCH is symmetrically configured adjacent to the NR
PUCCH at the two ends of the bandwidth. The start position of the LTE PUCCH at the
lower end and the end position of the LTE PUCCH at the upper end are fixed. The
specific start and end positions are described in Table 3-3. The number of RBs occupied
by the LTE PUCCH is parameter specified or is dynamically adjusted. For details, see
the descriptions of the PUCCH in Physical Channel Resource Management in eRAN
Feature Documentation. In this function, the LTE PUCCH can occupy a maximum of
16 RBs. If the number of RBs occupied by the LTE PUCCH exceeds this value, SRSs
may be interfered and network performance may be affected.
Table 3-3 Start and end positions of the LTE PUCCH (dynamic spectrum sharing)

15 MHz 3 71

20 MHz 2 97

Assume that 12 RBs are configured for the LTE PUCCH in 15 MHz bandwidth
scenarios. Then, the LTE PUCCH occupies RBs with indexes 3 to 8 at the lower end,
and occupies RBs with indexes 66 to 71 at the upper end.
 LTE PRACH: The LTE PRACH always occupies 6 RBs. It is recommended that RBs
adjacent to the LTE PUCCH at the lower end be reserved for the LTE PRACH. The
frequency-domain position of RBs can also be parameter configured. For details, see
descriptions of the PRACH frequency-domain position in Random Access Control in
eRAN Feature Documentation. The LTE PRACH frequency-domain position must not
overlap with the frequency-domain positions of the LTE PUCCH, NR PUCCH, and NR
PRACH.
 NR PRACH: The NR PRACH is configured adjacent to the LTE PUCCH at the upper
end. The frequency-domain start position of the NR PRACH is determined based on the
LTE PUCCH. The NR PRACH always occupies 6 RBs.
 LTE and NR PUSCHs: The total resources available for the LTE and NR PUSCHs equal
the total available spectrum resources minus the resources occupied by the LTE and NR
PUCCHs and PRACHs. The total LTE and NR available PUSCH resources are
dynamically shared between LTE and NR PUSCHs based on the service priority and
spectrum priority.

Function Configuration

This function requires that LTE and NR be configured with the same clock source and be
time synchronized. The function switches and related parameters on the two sides must be
configured.
 Configure LTE parameters TASM.MODE, TASM.CLKSRC, PEERCLK.PN,
PEERCLK.PNT, PEERCLK.PS, and TASM.CLKSYNCMODE. The NR SUL cell is
already time synchronized with the NR C-band cell. Therefore, in separate-MPT
LTE/NR scenarios, when the clock sources configured for the LTE and NR sides are
inconsistent, the clock source for the LTE side must be changed to the same as that for
the NR side, and time synchronization must be achieved. In co-MPT LTE/NR scenarios,
the LTE and NR sides already share the clock source and are time synchronized, and
reconfiguration is not required. If the requirements on the clock source and time
synchronization are not met, the NR cell fails to be activated.
 On the LTE side, set the SpectrumCloud.SpectrumCloudSwitch parameter to
LTE_NR_UPLINK_SPECTRUM_SHR to enable dynamic spectrum sharing. In
addition, perform the following configurations:
  Add LTE cells to a spectrum sharing cell group by configuring the
SpectrumCloud.LocalCellId and
SpectrumCloud.LteNrSpectrumShrCellGrpId parameters.
 Set the LTE and NR uplink spectrum sharing mode to dynamic by setting the
LteNrSpctShrCellGrp.LteNrUlSpectrumShrMode parameter to
DYNAMIC_SHARING. The uplink spectrum sharing mode on the LTE side must
be identical with that on the NR side.
 Configure the radio access technology (RAT) priority in LTE and NR spectrum
sharing via the LteNrSpctShrCellGrp.LteNrUlSpectrumShrPriority parameter.
This parameter can be set to LTE_PRI, NR_PRI, or LTE_NR_FAIR. For example,
when this parameter is set to LTE_PRI, LTE takes precedence over NR in dynamic
uplink spectrum sharing.
 Configure the percentage of uplink spectrum allocated to NR via the
LteNrSpctShrCellGrp.RateOfUlSpectrumAllocToNr parameter. This
configured percentage takes effect in the following scenarios:
 After dynamic spectrum sharing is enabled, the shared spectrum is initially
allocated to LTE and NR based on this percentage.
 After dynamic spectrum sharing is disabled, the shared spectrum is statically
shared between LTE and NR based on this percentage.
Details about this parameter can be found in "Function Configuration" in 3.1.1 Static
Spectrum Sharing.

 Configure the LTE and NR co-carrier co-CPRI data switch via the
LteNrSpctShrCellGrp.LteNrCoCarrCoCpriDataSw parameter. This parameter
can be set to ON only when LTE and NR use the CPRI MUX topology. When this
parameter is set to ON, the requirements on the CPRI bandwidth are reduced.
 On the NR side, select the LTE_NR_UL_SPECTRUM_SHARING_SW option of the
NRDUCellAlgoSwitch.SpectrumCloudSwitch parameter to enable dynamic spectrum
sharing. In addition, perform the following configurations:
 Configure the association between the LTE spectrum sharing cell group and the NR
spectrum sharing cell group via the gNBDULteNrSpctShrCg.NrSpctShrCellGrpId and
gNBDULteNrSpctShrCg.LteSpctShrCellGrpId parameters.
 Add NR SUL cells to the NR spectrum sharing cell group by setting the
NRDUCellSpctCloud.NrDuCellId and NRDUCellSpctCloud.NrSpctShrCellGrpId
parameters.
 Set the uplink spectrum sharing mode to dynamic by setting the
gNBDULteNrSpctShrCg.LteNrUlSpectrumShrMode parameter to
DYNAMIC_SHARING. The uplink spectrum sharing mode on the NR side must be
identical with that on the LTE side.
In addition to the preceding parameter configurations, you also need to set the parameters
in Technical Principles.
3.2 Network Analysis

3.2.1 Benefits

This function together with UL and DL Decoupling improves the NR uplink throughput via
the establishment of SUL cells, and helps achieve fast NR deployment. For details about
the benefits provided by UL and DL Decoupling, see UL and DL Decoupling.
3.2.2 Impacts

Network Impacts

This function affects only LTE networks. It has no impact on NR networks. This function
reduces the number of uplink RBs available for the LTE PUSCH, decreasing the uplink
throughput of LTE UEs. The greater the uplink load, the larger this impact.
Uplink throughput of LTE UEs = (L.Thrp.bits.UL –
L.Thrp.bits.UE.UL.SmallPkt)/L.Thrp.Time.UE.UL.RmvSmallPkt. Table 3-4 lists the
related counters.

3.3.4 Networking
 In separate-MPT scenarios, this function requires an intra-BBU CPRI MUX, an intra-BBU
dual star, or an inter-BBU dual star topology. In co-MPT scenarios, this function requires
an intra-BBU load sharing, an intra-BBU CPRI MUX, or an inter-BBU load sharing
topology.

 If LTE TDD and NR TDD (SUL) are deployed in the same frequency band, and if
LTE FDD and NR Uplink Spectrum Sharing is enabled together with UL and DL
Decoupling in the LTE FDD frequency band, LTE FDD and NR Uplink Spectrum

 If LTE TDD and NR TDD (SUL) are deployed in different frequency bands, and if
LTE FDD and NR Uplink Spectrum Sharing is enabled together with UL and DL
Decoupling in the LTE FDD frequency band, LTE FDD and NR Uplink Spectrum
Sharing can be used together with FDD+TDD CA as long as the following conditions
are met:
 The effective value of LTE TDD cell frame offset (specified by the
CellFrameOffset.FrameOffset or ENodeBFrameOffset.TddFrameOffset
parameter. If these parameters are both configured, the value of the
CellFrameOffset.FrameOffset parameter prevails.) is identical with the
effective value of NR TDD cell frame offset (specified by the

 The effective value of LTE TDD cell frame offset is greater than that of the LTE
FDD cell frame offset (specified by the CellFrameOffset.FrameOffset or
ENodeBFrameOffset.FddFrameOffset parameter). The difference between
these two values is identical with the effective value of the TA offset of the NR

3.4 Operation and Maintenance

3.4.1 When to Use

This function can be used in LTE cells with a light uplink load (uplink PRB usage < 30%),
since it decreases the amount of uplink spectrum available for LTE. The uplink PRB usage
of an LTE cell can be obtained by dividing L.ChMeas.PRB.UL.Used.Avg by
L.ChMeas.PRB.UL.Avail. You are advised to use the average uplink PRB usage in busy
hours.
3.4.2 Data Configuration

If the activation of this function is to be verified through signaling message tracing, you
need to start signaling tracing on the U2020 before activating this function in LTE and NR
SUL cells. Otherwise, activation-related messages cannot be observed after this function is
activated.
3.4.2.1 Data Preparation

Static Spectrum Sharing

describes the parameters used for function activation on the LTE side. Table 3-9
Table 3-8
describes the parameters used for function activation on the NR side. This section does not
describe parameters related to cell establishment.
Since the configuration of some of these parameters can result in automatic cell restarts, it
is recommended that you deactivate the cells prior to parameter configuration and
reactivate them after parameter configuration is complete. This will prevent these cells
from repeatedly restarting during parameter configuration.

Dynamic Spectrum Sharing

Table 3-12describes the parameters used for function activation on the LTE side. Table 3-13
describes the parameters used for function activation on the NR side. This section does not
describe parameters related to cell establishment.
Since the configuration of some of these parameters can result in automatic cell restarts, it
is recommended that you deactivate the cells prior to parameter configuration and
reactivate them after parameter configuration is complete. This will prevent these cells
from repeatedly restarting during parameter configuration.

3.4.3 Activation Verification

Check whether this function has taken effect by using MML commands, observing
counters, or tracing signaling messages.

Using MML Commands

 The LTE and NR static spectrum sharing function takes effect when both of the
following conditions are met:
 The value of the Spectrum Sharing Status parameter in the output of the eNodeB
MML command DSP LTENRSPCTSHRCELLGRP is static sharing.
 The value of the Spectrum Sharing Status parameter in the output of the gNodeB
MML command DSP GNBDULTENRSPCTSHRCG is static sharing.
 The LTE and NR dynamic spectrum sharing function takes effect when both of the
following conditions are met:
 The value of the Spectrum Sharing Status parameter in the output of the eNodeB
MML command DSP LTENRSPCTSHRCELLGRP is DYNAMIC_SHARING.
 The value of the Spectrum Sharing Status parameter in the output of the gNodeB
MML command DSP GNBDULTENRSPCTSHRCG is Dynamic Sharing.

Observing Counters
 The LTE and NR static or dynamic spectrum sharing function takes effect when the
following conditions for eNodeB and gNodeB are all met:
 Observe the following counter on the eNodeB side:
L.ChMeas.PRB.UL.Avail (counter ID: 1526728434): This counter value is less than
the number of RBs corresponding to the cell bandwidth specified by the
Cell.UlBandWidth parameter.
 Observe the following counter on the gNodeB side:
(counter ID: 1911816582): This counter value is less than the number
N.PRB.UL.Avail.Avg
of RBs corresponding to the cell bandwidth specified by the Cell.UlBandWidth
parameter.

Tracing Signaling Messages

Before activating this function in LTE and NR SUL cells, start signaling tracing on the
U2020. Otherwise, activation-related messages cannot be observed after this function is
