WCDMA RAN
Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Background
UMTS networks are interference-limited. If external interference or interference from
neighboring cells is strong, uplink UTRAN cell capacity is noticeably reduced. On live
networks, UMTS 900 MHz networks receive strong interference from GSM networks
(repeaters), creating a bottleneck in commercial use of UMTS 900 MHz.
Huawei's WRFD-181219 Adaptive Interference Rejection (Trial) feature counteracts strong
external wideband interference on the UMTS frequencies 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1900 MHz,
and 2100 MHz, improving uplink coverage performance.
2.2 Introduction
The Adaptive Interference Rejection feature allows a NodeB to:
l Scan the frequency spectrum within the UMTS carrier bandwidth to rapidly identify
stable and strong wideband interference (12 dB stronger than the noise floor).
l Decorrelate the interference signals between antennas.
This feature increases the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) at the receiver.
A correlation coefficient indicates the relationship between two interference signals. The
more similar two signals, the closer correlation between them.
Figure 2-1 shows three pairs of interference signals from left to right in a descending order of
correlation coefficients.
Figure 2-1 Different correlation coefficients of two signals

WCDMA RAN
Description 2 Overview
NOTE
The horizontal axis and vertical axis indicate signal 1 and signal 2, respectively. The narrower the image,
the closer the correlation and more correlated the two signals; The rounder the image, the weaker the
correlation and less correlated the two signals.
2.3 Benefits
This feature provides benefits when all the following conditions are met:
l The total interference bandwidth of an uplink receive carrier is greater than 400 kHz.
l The daily proportion of times the VS.StrongColouredInf.Ratio counter value is above
70% remains greater than 50% in one week. The VS.StrongColouredInf.Ratio counter
measures the proportion of strong colored interference in a cell.
l The value of interference divided by the noise floor is greater than 12 dB (interference
from repeaters).
The benefits include:
Uplink interference with the strength between 12 dB and 30 dB reduces by about 2
to 21 dB.
Uplink coverage performance improves. Specifically, the received signal code
power (RSCP) on access at 5% in the CDF diagram decreases by about 2 to 21 dB.
NOTE
Strong colored interference indicates that interference signals between antennas are closely correlated.

Description 3 Technical Description
3 Technical Description
3.1 Characteristics of Interference Sources

The improvements yielded by the Adaptive Interference Rejection feature depend on the
characteristics of interference signals. This feature suppresses only strong wideband
interference that has the following characteristics:
l Bandwidth
The total interference bandwidth of an uplink receive carrier is greater than 400 kHz.
l Interference correlation
The daily proportion of times the VS.StrongColouredInf.Ratio counter value is above
l Interference power
The interference power is 12 dB higher than the noise floor of the NodeB. Such
interference significantly increases the received total wideband power (RTWP).
3.2 Technical Principles

This feature removes the correlation of interference between antennas, suppressing
interference, improving the SINR at the receiver, and improving uplink coverage
performance.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 3-1 Signal combination before and after AIR is activated
This feature slightly reduces desired signals but minimizes strength of interference signals,
therefore increasing the SINR.
3.3 Interference Suppression Process

The Adaptive Interference Rejection feature takes effect only in 2-antenna scenarios. Figure
3-2 illustrates how the feature works.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 3-2 Working principle in 2-antenna RX diversity
When adaptive interference suppression is enabled, the BBU performs time-to-frequency

conversion on signals received by the antenna, compares the power strength of each subband
in the frequency domain with the mean power strength of the band (5 MHz), and identifies the
subbands whose power strength is significantly higher than the mean power strength of the
band. The identified subbands are those with interference. Then the BBU adds all interfered
subbands to get the total interfered bandwidth.
For interference signals with the total interference strength exceeding 12 dB and the total
bandwidth exceeding 400 kHz, the BBU combines the signals received by the antenna
following the maximum SINR principle to decorrelate the interference signals. The combined
signals are then converted to frequency-domain signals for demodulation and decoding,
improving the demodulation performance of the receiver.
NOTE
For details about the maximum SINR principle, see Interference Rejection Combining Feature
Parameter Description.
This feature is activated by setting the ULBASEBANDEQMWORKMODE parameter to AIR

and the AIR parameter to TRUE.
3.4 Adaptive Interference Suppression

The NodeB performs interference identification and suppression in the frequency domain. In
uplink signal processing, the NodeB performs time-frequency-time conversion, bringing a
delay of hundreds of microseconds and causing deterioration in uplink power control
performance. Depending on the interference strength and improvements, interference
suppression is adaptively enabled and disabled.
Adaptive adjustment principles:
l Once the Adaptive Interference Rejection feature is activated, interference suppression is
enabled and will be dynamically adjusted.
l Dynamic adjustment works as follows:
Each day, at 03:05 until 04:00, the NodeB checks the number of online UEs every 10
minutes and determines whether the number is less than CSUSERNUM and
PSUSERNUM. If the number is less than both CSUSERNUM and PSUSERNUM,
interference suppression adjustment is triggered.

WCDMA RAN
If SW is set to OFF, the NodeB assumes that CSUSERNUM and PSUSERNUM are 5
and 10, respectively.
The NodeB checks whether interference suppression is enabled for the previous day and
takes actions based on the check result. Details are shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3 Interference suppression adjustment
NOTE
Interference suppression adjustment introduces changes in uplink signal processing delay. The
online UEs are likely to experience service drops and a sharp decrease in data rates. Therefore,
interference suppression adjustment is performed during off-peak hours to minimize the impact.
l Once the Adaptive Interference Rejection feature is deactivated, adaptive interference
suppression is disabled accordingly.

Description 4 Related Features
WRFD-021308 Extended Cell Coverage The Adaptive Interference Rejection feature

up to 200km introduces a delay of hundreds of
microseconds due to interference
identification in the frequency domain. The
WRFD-021308 Extended Cell Coverage up
to 200km feature enables wide coverage and
brings extended delay in uplink access.
Consequently, if both features are activated,
delay further increases and KPIs may
deteriorate. Therefore, the two features
cannot be both activated.
The Adaptive Interference Rejection feature
cannot be activated for cells with a cell
radius greater than 30 km to avoid KPI
deterioration resulting from extended delay.
WRFD-151210 Inter-Dependence of The Adaptive Interference Rejection feature

BBU Uplink Resource requires that the uplink resource group
includes only UBBPd and UBBPe boards.
However, the WRFD-151210 Inter-
Dependence of BBU Uplink Resource
feature adjusts boards in the uplink resource
group. If both features are activated, the
Adaptive Interference Rejection feature may
not function.
WRFD-171213 Self Optimization Under If noise floor update optimization is

Uplink Interference working and uplink service load is heavy
(greater than 40%), the improvements
provided by the Adaptive Interference
Rejection feature fluctuate and KPIs are
likely to deteriorate. It is good practice to
set the
BgnAbnormalThd(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter to a value less than or equal to
100.

Description 5 Network Impact
5 Network Impact
System Capacity
Activating this feature reduces uplink interference by about 2 to 21 dB and decreases RSCP
on access at 5% in the CDF diagram by 2 to 21 dB, increasing uplink coverage performance,
when all the following conditions are met:
l The total interference bandwidth of an uplink receive carrier is greater than 400 kHz.
l The value of interference divided by the noise floor is greater than 12 dB (interference
from repeaters).
The improvements provided by this feature decrease if the average uplink service load is
heavy and external interference reduces.
If multiple interference sources are present and there is no main interference source, the
interference signals are less correlated, decreasing improvements.
Network Performance
l Interference identification and suppression in the frequency domain introduces a delay of
hundreds of microseconds in uplink signal processing. If there is no strong interference,
activating the Adaptive Interference Rejection feature decreases uplink cell throughput
by 5% to 10%. When there is no strong interference, interference suppression will be
automatically deactivated, reducing uplink processing delay to be less than 100
microseconds and keeping uplink cell throughput loss within 2% to 4%.
l Intra-frequency cells served by the same NodeB experience softer handover combination
gains. However, combination will not be performed due to a delay of hundreds of
microseconds. Therefore, it is recommended that the Adaptive Interference Rejection
feature be activated for intra-frequency cells served by a NodeB. If interference
suppression remains effective in all the cells, they experience the same delay. After
interference suppression is dynamically deactivated for interference-free cells, softer
handovers can succeed because of the difference in delay between the interference-free
cells and interference-present cells. Throughput of UEs located in the softer handover
areas decreases by 5% to 10%.
l Uplink signals from UEs with high data rates are strong. In interference suppression,
their signals reduce and data rates decrease by 15% to 30%.

WCDMA RAN
Description 5 Network Impact
l After interference is significantly mitigated, RTWP congestion on delay antennas is

alleviated. Consequently, the activation status of RTWP-based algorithms (LDR/TTI
bearer switchover triggered by RTWP congestion) changes and therefore related counters
return different values after the Adaptive Interference Rejection feature is activated.
Such counters include:
VS.HSUPA.RABEstabTTI10ms.ResRTWP.Succ(BSC6900,BSC6910),
VS.LCC.LDR.Num.ULPower(BSC6900,BSC6910),
VS.HSUPA.UE.Mean.TTI2ms(BSC6900,BSC6910), and
VS.HSUPA.UE.Mean.TTI10ms(BSC6900,BSC6910).
l This feature reduces interference based on interference correlation between antennas.
Therefore, interference reduction differs between two antennas. Specifically, the value of
the VS.ValidAntRatio.Mean counter increases after this feature is activated.

WCDMA RAN
Description 6 Engineering Guidelines
6 Engineering Guidelines
6.1 When to Use Adaptive Interference Rejection

It is recommended that this feature be activated for a cell that meets all the following
conditions:
l Strong external interference remains. Specifically, the value of

VS.MinRTWP(BSC6900,BSC6910) is greater than -94 dBm during off-peak hours.
l Uplink service load is light. Specifically, the value of
VS.MeanRTWP(BSC6900,BSC6910) minus VS.MinRTWP(BSC6900,BSC6910) is
less than 2.5 dB during busy hours.
After this feature is activated, uplink delay increases. If this feature is not activated on a per
carrier basis, combination gains decrease for softer handovers within the same carrier.
Therefore, it is recommended that this feature be activated for cells working on the same
frequencies as the cells experiencing interference.
NOTE
After this feature is activated, strong interference will significantly reduce and the value of the
VS.StrongColouredInf.Ratio counter will decrease but not necessarily to 0.
6.2 Required Information

Obtain the values of the counters listed in the following tables to determine whether to
activate this feature for a cell.

VS.StrongColouredInf.Ratio Ratio of Strong Colored Interference in a Cell
This feature brings about significant improvements if the interference bandwidth of an uplink
receive carrier is greater than 400 kHz. Therefore, it is recommended that interference types
be identified using any of the following methods:
l For to-be-deployed UMTS networks, in the presence of GSM networks (working on
frequencies adjacent to those of the UMTS networks), GSM frequency scanning is
performed to scan interference on the GSM frequencies, facilitating identification of
possible interference types.
l For existing UMTS networks, frequency scanning is performed using the WebLMT
compatible with RAN14.0 or later. The scanning result is then analyzed to identify
interference types.
l For existing UMTS networks experiencing interference from repeaters, repeater
interference scanning is performed using the WebLMT to identify the percentage of
interference from the repeaters. This function is supported only by RRUs V3 of
RAN17.1 and later versions.
Obtain the value of the following counter to evaluate the improvements provided by this
feature.

After this feature is activated, the RSCP on access at 5% in the CDF diagram of
VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.x decreases by about 2 to 21 dB, indicating that coverage
performance improves.
6.3 Deployment

WCDMA RAN
6.3.1 Requirements
Other Features
The prerequisite features have been configured. For details about the prerequisite features, see
4 Related Features.
Hardware
This feature depends on the UBBP board. Specifically, at least one UBBP board must be
configured as the interface board. This board may not be configured in the uplink resource
group serving the cell. The uplink resource group serving the cell must not contain WBBP
boards but at least one UBBP board working only in UMTS mode.
This feature consumes NodeB hardware resources (number of cells and CE resources) for
interference identification and suppression. Therefore, activating this feature decreases the
number of cells, HSUPA UEs, and CEs supported by the boards in the uplink resource group
serving the cell. For details about cell specifications, see Table 6-4. For details about CE and
HSUPA UE specifications, see Table 6-5.
For cells working on the carrier of the cell with strong broadband interference, you are
advised to establish them in one uplink resource group. All boards in this resource group must
be UBBPd and UBBPe boards and at least one UBBPd or UBBPe board working only in
UMTS mode must be configured as the interface board. This interface board may not in the
uplink resource group.

6.3.2 Precautions
l Reconfiguring the parameters controlling the Adaptive Interference Rejection feature
causes resource adjustment in the uplink resource group serving the cell, leading to
service drops for some UEs. Therefore, it is good practice to reconfigure the parameters
during off-peak hours (when the number of online UEs is less than 10).

WCDMA RAN
l When the interference suppression function is switching between enabled and disabled
states, the date rates sharply decrease due to prolonged uplink processing delay and will
return to normal within 2s.
l If the Uplink Baseband Equipment Work Mode parameter is set to AIR, the boards in
the uplink resource group cannot be added to other uplink resource groups. This limit
prevents board resource fluctuation, eliminating ping-pong switching between feature
activation states and preventing service drops from increasing.

6.3.5.3 Using the CME

The method of feature deactivation using the CME is the same as that of feature activation
using the CME. For detailed operations, see 6.3.3.4 Using the CME.
6.4 Performance Monitoring

Observe the RNC counter listed in the following table to check whether this feature
suppresses uplink strong wideband interference. If it does, the value of the counter decreases.
NOTE
In interference-free scenarios, balance is achieved between uplink and downlink cell coverage. If strong
uplink interference occurs, uplink coverage is limited and RSCP on access is high. After the Adaptive
Interference Rejection feature takes effect, uplink coverage performance improves and RSCP on access
decreases.

Analyze the CDF diagrams of VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.0(BSC6900,BSC6910) through

VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.9(BSC6900,BSC6910) drawn before and after this feature is
activated. Compare the RSCP values at 5% to determine cell coverage improvements.

WCDMA RAN
More samples of admitted UEs in the cell lead to higher CDF reliability. In low-traffic
scenarios, it is good practice to increase the measurement period for these counters to ensure
sufficient samples and reliable CDF curves.
If this feature is effective, observe the values of the following counters to check interference
suppression performance.
