3. CAPACITY LICENSING INTRODUCTION

3.1. CAPACITY LICENSING FEATURE

To provide network facilities that include a better Return On Investment (ROI) for
customers, Alcatel-Lucent include in their Node B offer the possibility to "Pay as you
grow".
This allows a client to reduce initial costs by tailoring their Node B capacities to meet
their current network requirements. As network demands increase, the Node B license
capacity can be increased up to the maximum hardware capacities.
The capacity licensing scheme is the following:

• customers can buy HW at reduced cost; the HW capacity is restricted by a

license.
• additional capacity can be purchased when needed, w/o need to purchase and
install additional HW (until the actual HW capacity limit is reached)

The License is generated for one specific OAM (ROC) and contains the set of tokens
that can be distributed to all the Node Bs supervised by the OAM.

The tokens represent the sum of the feature values that can be manually applied to
the group of Node Bs in a RAN.

3.2. KEY PRINCIPLES

• The Capacity Licensing feature is a not optional feature in UA06/07. All customers
upgrading to UA6/UA7 must deploy licenses on their network,

• Capacity licensing operational terms must be decided & agreed with the customer

• Roles must be put in place in ALU regional teams, and at customer level to cope
with License Generation & Installation

• Perform Purchase Order of capacity into the ALU Ordering System using the
same process as HW. Network capacity increase is blocked until a new PO is
performed. Strong recommendation to always have RTU spares available in the
license.

• The RTUs associated with hardware capacity are available from release N
(introduction release) to release N + X. The logistical code associated with this
RTU is always the same. What it can happen from a release to an other:

o If the hardware capacity of a module increases from release (N) to

release (N + X), then the number of RTU associated with this capacity
increases too, but the logistical code remains the same. For ex: CEM
capacity, power capacity of radio modules.
o A new feature may introduce a new capacity licensing parameter and
then a new RTU. This RTU is available for release (N), (N+X) but does
not exist for release (N-1).

NodeB & RNC Capacity Licensing Model Offer Provisioning Guide

o In LKDI the version associated with the capacity licensing product,

corresponds to the UTRAN release introduction (N). It doesn’t mean this
capacity licensing is only available in this release, but it means this
capacity licensing is available from this release (N) to the release (N +
X). In the example bellow, “16CE-R99” is a capacity licensing introduced
in UA06 and available in UA07, UA08 as well. In the same way,
“Add_Radio_per_Sector” is available in UA07.1, UA08, etc …., but not
available in UA06.

3.3. ORDERING SCHEME

Capacity licensing can be ordered:

When ordering new Hardware modules – RTU capacity are purchased with the
HW configuration

RTU capacity can be purchased separately from HW

Feature Activation must be ordered before every upgrade: Features licenses must be
renewed each time there’s an upgrade to a new dot release

3.4. HW RESOURCES CONTROLLED BY CAPACITY LICENSING

For the capacity, the license is applied to increase the capacity of some functionalities
(such as number of users or amount of power), or to unlock other functionalities
(activation of frequency carriers).

The hardware resources that can be put under the Capacity Licensing framework are
the following:

Product based on 9311 Macro NodeB

• CEM board: iCEM, xCEM, eCEM.These boards were presentin the 9311
Macro NodeB

• TRM board: this module was present in the NodeB housing MCPA (9311
Macro, Street and rCompact), DR6 products.
• Radio PA: this module is present in the NodeB housing MCPA (Macro,

• RRH/MC-RRH/TwinRRH, TRDU, MC-TRDU, MC-TRX: these radio modules

are present in the solutions based on the 9326 D2U, 9926 BBU and 9926
BBU 4U as digital part.

RNC product
• EDCPS board: The feature 83985, introduced in release UA08.1 provides
the option to boost the capacity of a RNC equipped with eDCPS.

3.5. CAPACITY LICENSING PARAMETERS LIST

When the license is created in the LKDI, tokens are purchased for each parameter,
only whole numbers can be purchased. In the following list, the value of the token is
indicated.

The parameters are represented by the following attributes, which are respectively:

• edchNumberUserCapacityLicensing
defines the maximum number of tokens for HSUPA users.

One token = 8 connections

• edchThroughputCapacityLicensing
defines the maximum number of tokens for HSUPA throughput.

One token = 480 Kbps

• hsdpaNumberUserCapacityLicensing
defines the maximum number of tokens for HSDPA users.

One token = 8 connections

defines the maximum number of tokens for HSDPA throughput.

One token = 1.8 Mbps

• r99NumberCeCapacityLicensing
defines the number of Channel Elements (CEs) that the Node B is allowed to allocate
for R99 traffic (common or dedicated channels). the value range is from 16 to 65520.
One token = 16 CEs.
• paPowerCapacityLicensing

defines the power allowed for the pool of PAs (by increments of 1Wat the NodeB). A
minimum of 30W/PA is allocated - One token = 15W.
• rrhPowerCapacityLicensing

defines the power allowed for all RRHs or TRDUs related with the Node B (by
increments of 1Wat the NodeB). A minimum of 20W/RRH is allocated - One token =
10W.

One token = 1 carrier.

• additionalRadioPerSectorCapacityLicensing (Obsolete in UA08.1)

defines the number of additional radios per sector allowed for the Macro legacy with
PA. One Token = 1 additional radio module.

This parameter is kept (default value “infinite”, but not supervised by capacity licensing
anymore.

• radioCarrierCapacityLicensing
st nd rd
Introduced in UA08.1 for carrier licencing. It applies to all carriers, 1 , 2 , 3 , ….
• NbOfRetaCapacityLicensing
Associated with the feature Integrated RETA support at the RRH.
One Token = per NodeB supporting the feature

• integratedAisgDevicesManagement

devices management.

This feature completes the RETA for RRH feature 33213/ 97006 that was delivered in UA7.1.3,
by adding capacity licensing to manage its deployment. / / / RETA for RRHs: / / RRH (Remote
Radio Heads) is an alternative to standard Node-B solution. Therefore, the support of RETA is
strongly expected by the Customers, as for RETA with standard macro Node-B.

4. CEM CAPACITY LICENSING

As a strong market request for limited CEM processing capacity steps has been
identified, the CEM capacity for R99 and HSPA connections can be purchased in
small steps in order to allow for cheap initial configurations and capacity upgrades
according to the “pay-as-you-grow” principle.

The following RTU are associated with all types of CEM boards (iCEM (U), xCEM (U),
eCEM (U). The CEM board is housed in the digital part of the NodeB.

Initial RTU Capacity

RTU code Description capacity
value
3JR35001AAAA RTU INCREMENT DCH 16 CE 0 1 RTU (D) = 16 CE
3JR35001ADAA RTU INCREMENT 8 HSDPA CONNECTION 0 1 RTU (H1) = 8 HSDPA connections
3JR35001AFAA RTU 1800KBPS HSDPA 0 1 RTU (H2) = Peak DL 1800 Kbit/s
3JR35001AEAA RTU INCREMENT 8 HSUPA CONNECTION 0 1 RTU (E1) = 8 EDCH connections
3JR35001AGAA RTU 480KBPS EDCH 0 1 RTU (E2) = Peak UL 480 Kbit/s

Initial capacity value = 0: The board is delivered with no capacity. The capacity in term
of CE, HSxPA connections and throughput requires the order of Incremental RTUs.
The number of RTU can be calculated as follows:
Nb of D token = nb of required CE/16
Nb of H1 token = number of HSDPA cnx/8
Nb of H2 token = required throughput/1.8
Nb of E1 token = number of HSUPA cnx/8
Nb of E2 tokens = required throughput/0.48
The following table summarizes the max number of RTU per CEM card and per
release:
UTRAN Release Type of CEM Number of tokens per CEM
D H1 H2 E1 E2
xCEM/xCEM-u
UA07 16 16 22 16 21
eCEM/eCEM-u
xCEM/xCEM-u
16 16 22 16 68
UA08.1 eCEM
eCEM-u 16 16 33 16 68

4.1. RULES APPLIED ON INCREMENTAL DCH (D)

The xCEM or eCEM board supports up to 256 DCH calls with any 128 of them
supporting HSDPA and/or HSUPA.

Example: if you order the maximum number of CE per xCEM, (256 CE), and if you
need to establish 128 HSxPA connections, the CE assessment is the following

NodeB & RNC Capacity Licensing Model Offer Provisioning Guide

• 1 Signaling Radio Bearer per HSxPA connection => 128 CE for SRB
• 128 CE are available for R99 calls.

i.e: 256 CE per xCEM doesn’t mean 256 R99 calls per xCEM, the number of HSxPA
connections must be considered first.
This table provides the maximum capacity on each type of CEM board.

6.2.2 RULE APPLICABLE FROM UA08.1 RELEASE

The new licensing scheme includes the licensing of first carrier for RRH (TwinRRH),
TRDU, MCTRX and MCRRH. All carriers are considered as identical. There will thus
be only one license parameter for the number of carriers per radio module.
The RTU to order for RRH and TRDU in this release is the same RTU than in the
previous release, but the rule is changed.: the activation is “per carrier”

6.4. RTU ASSOCIATED WITH NBER OF RADIO PER SECTOR

6.4.1 RULE APPLICABLE BEFORE UA08.1 RELEASE

In UA07.1, a configuration token for number of radios (PA/TRDU/RRH) per sector is
required. One token controls the configuration of two radios (PA/TRDU/RRH) on one
sector, i.e. it allows the activation of y carriers for STSR (x+y ) configurations

6.4.2 RULE APPLICABLE FROM UA08.1 RELEASE

In UA08.1, it has been decided to remove the parameter
“additionalRadioPerSectorCapacityLicensing” from the licensing scheme, which it
introduces unnecessary complexity at upgrades and in the toolchain.
In other word, in UA08.1, RTU: 3JR35004ACAA becomes obsolete.

7. INTEGRATED RETA FOR RRH

This RTU is introduced in UA07.1.3 release, with the feature Integrated RETA support
at the RRH. RETA for RRHs saves the capital expense of purchase of a separate
CCU and associated tower cabling.
The RTU is applicable per NodeB, whatever the number of RRHs and the number of
RRH per sector.

RRH supporting the feature:

2100 MHZ RRH40-21, RRH60-21/21A/21C, RRH2x60

8. RNC CAPACITY LICENSING

8.1. RTU ASSOCIATED WITH EDCPS BOARD

The feature 83985, introduced in release UA08.1 provides the option to boost the
capacity of a RNC equipped with eDCPS only through software. Additional capacity
brought by eDCPS is locked (at global RNC level), unless a specific License Key is
delivered. Capacity increase brought by capacity license is only working if the 9370
RNC is 100% eDCPS.

9. HARDWARE FULL CAPACITY

If the commercial contract authorises to have No capacity Limitation on a given NodeB
resources, then Regional License Admin will use a specific process for requesting the
creating of the appropriate RTU entitlements. But be aware that such request will
necessitate approval from WCDMA Licensing Administrator

Note that the full capacity licence is applicable per OMC, meaning that all the NodeB
driven by this OMC have to follow the same rules in term of capacity licensing.
