TS 36.331 Release 9 for the MAC, RLC, PDCP and RRC sub-layers.

The purpose of radio resource management (RRM) is to ensure the efficient use the available radio
resources. AirVelocity 600/1200 supports unique and sophisticated RRM algorithms to ensure an
efficient use of the radio resources. The RRM includes, among other things, a control of the radio
bearers, admission control and connection mobility control, dynamic resource allocation and Inter
Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC).

8.3. MOBILITY
AirVelocity 600/1200 can support Intra and Inter frequency handovers.

8.4. SECURITY
AirVelocity 600/1200 complies with eNodeB security requirements as specified by 3GPP TS 33.401,
supporting:
For RRC signaling and user plane traffic
 EEA0 (Null ciphering)
 128-EEA1 (SNOW 3G)
 128-EEA2 (AES)
For RRC signaling integrity protection
 EIA0 (Null integrity)
 128-EIA1 (SNOW 3G)
 128-EIA2 (AES)

Product Management Revision: 0.2 Page 17 of 24

 AirVelocity 600/1200 B7 Product Specification
9. LTE: TIME AND FREQUENCY SYNCHRONIZATION

9.1. SYNCHRONIZATION COMPLIANCE

AirVelocity 600/1200 meets the synchronization requirements as they are defined in TS 36.104 and
TS 36.133.
Inter eNodeB synchronization is supported to enable both 1PPS frame synchronization for TDD
interference avoidance and frequency synchronization for ICI avoidance.

9.2. FREQUENCY ACCURACY

For Frequency stability, the same source is used for RF frequency and data clock generation. The
modulated carrier frequency of the eNodeB has an accuracy of ±0.05ppm observed over a period of
one subframe (1ms).

9.3. PHASE ACCURACY

Phase accuracy, (required for TD-LTE interference coordination and for both TD-LTE and FDD-LTE
when considering MBSFN or ABS) is 1usec or better.

9.4. SUPPORTED CLOCK SOURCES

AirVelocity 600/1200 supports three different external clock sources for providing the required
Frequency and Phase accuracy – GPON SFP, PTP and Network Listening (NL). The user can configure
the priority of each clock source (if several are used simultaneously), to determine the redundancy
scheme between them. If all valid clock sources fail, the eNodeB enters Holdover state until such time,
when at least one clock source becomes valid again.

In addition, AirVelocity 600/1200 supports SyncE, which can be used in conjunction with PTP to
improve the frequency accuracy.

Note that holdover without SyncE can serve as a synchronization source for only a short period of
time up to 2.5 minutes.

9.5. PTP
AirVelocity 600/1200 implements IEEE1588-2008 Slave/Ordinary clock, able to recover the
Frequency and Phase information from the PTP packets, transmitted from an IEEE1588-2008 Grand
Master clock located in the customer’s network.
IEEE1588-2008 is a network protocol where a 1588 Grand Master clock syncs a full network or
several domains. As such, it is considered good practice for the Grand Master clock to be backed-up
by a secondary Grand Master.

Product Management Revision: 0.2 Page 18 of 24

 AirVelocity 600/1200 B7 Product Specification
AirVelocity 600/1200 can be locked on to two Grand Masters and support Grand Master redundancy.

9.6. NETWORK LISTENING (NL)

AirVelocity 600/1200 can also listen to the neighboring Macro eNBs located in its area and sync
based on their synchronization data.
AirVelocity 600/1200 supports in-band network listening, within its own supported LTE band.

10. NETWORK INTERFACES

10.1. MANAGEMENT
AirVelocity 600/1200 is managed via Airspan’s EMS (Netspan) using SNMPv2c or SNMPv3 and
supports management using a default IP address.

10.2. S1 INTERFACE
The LTE S1 user plane interface (S1-U) is defined between the eNodeB and the S-GW in 3GPP TS
36.414. The S1-U interface provides non-guaranteed delivery of user plane PDUs between the
eNodeB and the S-GW. The transport network layer is built on IP transport and GTP-U is used on top
of UDP/IP to carry the user plane PDUs between the eNodeB and the S-GW. AirVelocity 600/1200
complies with the requirements set by TS. 36.414
The S1 control plane interface (S1-MME) is defined between the eNodeB and the MME. The transport
network layer is built on IP transport, similarly to the user plane but for the reliable transport of
signaling messages, SCTP is added on top of IP. The application layer signaling protocol is referred to
as S1-AP (S1 Application Protocol). AirVelocity 600/1200 complies with the requirement set by TS
36.413, including:
 S1 paging function
 S1 UE context management function
 Intra LTE handover
 E-RAB service management function
 NAS signaling transport function
 Location reporting function
 Warning message transmission function

10.3. X2 INTERFACE
The X2 user plane interface (X2-U) is defined between eNodeBs in 3GPP TS 36.414. The X2-U
interface provides non-guaranteed delivery of user plane PDUs. The transport network layer is built
on IP transport and GTP-U is used on top of UDP/IP to carry the user plane PDUs. The X2-U interface
protocol stack is identical to the S1-U protocol stack. AirVelocity 600/1200 complies with the
requirements set by TS. 36.414.

Product Management Revision: 0.2 Page 19 of 24

 AirVelocity 600/1200 B7 Product Specification
The X2 control plane interface (X2-CP) is defined between two neighbor eNodeBs. The transport
network layer is built on SCTP on top of IP. The application layer signaling protocol is referred to as
X2-AP (X2 Application Protocol).

10.4. TRAFFIC SEPARATION

Core traffic separation can be achieved using VLANs. This solution supports the following
configuration in the eNodeB:
 One VLAN and IP Interface for Management traffic
 One VLAN and IP Interface for S1AP per MME
 One VLAN and IP Interface for S1-U per S-GW
 One VLAN and IP Interface for X2AP (for Packet Forwarding to all neighbors)
 One VLAN and IP Interface for X2-C (for control messages to all neighbors)
 One VLAN and IP Interface for PTP traffic

11. LTE: SELF-ORGANIZING NETWORK
This Self Organizing Network (SON) concept includes several different functions from eNodeB
activation to radio parameter tuning.

Self-configuration process is defined as the process where newly deployed nodes are configured
by automatic installation procedures to get the necessary basic configuration for system operation.
This process works in pre-operational state. Pre-operational state is understood as the state from
when the eNodeB is powered up and has backbone connectivity until the RF transmitter is switched
on. Functions handled in the pre-operational state are: Basic Setup and Initial Radio Configuration.

Self-optimization process is defined as the process where UE & eNodeB measurements and
performance measurements are used to auto-tune the network. This process works in operational
state. Operational state is understood as the state where the RF interface is additionally switched on.
Functions handled in the operational state are Optimization and Adaptation.
AirVelocity 600/1200 supports an API that will enable it to be connected to a centralized SON server.
