• After connecting eNBs in CA Cluster using SRIO and SHDF cables, following checks between connected
eNBs are performed:
- Negotiated SRIO link speed must be higher or equal to 5 Gb/s
- SW build versions on each eNB must be the same

2 CA Cluster configuration
• All eNBs in the CA Cluster also have to be configured with the same LNBTS:caClusterId
- LNBTS:caClusterId value must be unique with the whole network (i.e. no other eNBs in the network can
have the same LNBTS:caClusterId value assigned)
• Each eNB in the CA Cluster must have assigned LNBTS:caClusterMemberId (unique within the
cluster)
- NOTE: There is no preference on the assigned ID of eNB (there is no Master-Slave relation in inter-eNB CA)

4a. Activation of Carrier Aggregation functionality

• Legacy Carrier Aggregation functionality is activated via LNBTS: actDlCAggr = true

• Changing of the LNBTS:actDlCAggr parameter value or any changes between 2CC

or 3CC CA configurations (changes of LNCEL:maxNumScells parameter value)
requires eNB restart

• All changes introduced to CA configuration will be validated once again with partner
eNB(s) (using SRIO link) after eNB restart and SRIO connection re-establishment
- If the parameters check fails, proper alarms will be raised by the eNB and inter-eNB CA will not
be activated for inconsistent pair of eNBs

5a. Configuration of at least one CAREL object indicating Scell candidate on another
eNB
• creation of new CAREL objects in PCell’s LNCEL:
- LNCEL:CAREL:lnBtsId must be the same as LNBTS:lnBtsId of partner eNB
- LNCEL:CAREL:lcrId must indicate one of the cells configured on partner eNB
- LNCEL:CAREL:BeamformingInScellAllowed change value from "Allowed" or "forbidden" to empty

eNB restart (activation can be done online)
