2.5 Application Scenarios

The ePico3801 is widely used for indoor coverage in small and medium enterprises (SMEs),

SOHOs, schools, and office buildings and for hot-spot indoor coverage at pubs, airports, stores,

and hotels.

2.5.1 Access Networking Scenarios

The ePico3801 is connected to an enterprise LAN or modem, which connects the ePico3801 to

the public IP network. Then, the public IP network connects the ePico3801 to the AG, and the

AG connects the ePico3801 to the UMTS core network. Through convergence and UMTS traffic

and signaling forwarding performed by the AG, routing towards the UMTS core network is

achieved. The ePico3801 can be connected to the public IP network in LAN access mode or

modem access mode.

2.5.2 Installation Scenarios

If installed in a factory or office building, the ePico3801 does not require a private equipment

room.

ePico3801

User Guide 2 Introduction to the ePico3801

2-15

2.5.3 Typical Application Scenarios

The ePico3801 is designed to solve the indoor coverage problem of the UMTS network. With

the ePico3801, mobile operators can deploy ordinary indoor coverage, intensive coverage in

office buildings, and hot-spot indoor coverage quickly at low cost.

2.5.1 Access Networking Scenarios

The ePico3801 is connected to an enterprise LAN or modem, which connects the ePico3801 to

the public IP network. Then, the public IP network connects the ePico3801 to the AG, and the

AG connects the ePico3801 to the UMTS core network. Through convergence and UMTS traffic

and signaling forwarding performed by the AG, routing towards the UMTS core network is

achieved. The ePico3801 can be connected to the public IP network in LAN access mode or

modem access mode.

Modem Access

The ePico3801 can be connected the public IP network through a fixed phone modem or cable

TV cable.

Principle of Modem Access

Each ePico3801 is connected to the public IP network through a modem. The digital subscriber

line access multiplexer (DSLAM) performs data convergence and distribution and isolates the

ePico3801 from other ePico3801s through a private VLAN. The service data is sent to the

broadband access server (BRAS) in Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) or Dynamic

Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) mode, and the BRAS performs access authentication and

billing for the public IP network. After the authentication is successful, the service data is sent

to the SeGW on the core network of the uBro solution through the public IP network. The SeGW

processes the data and forwards it to the AG and AAA. Figure 2-7 shows the networking in

modem access mode.

Figure 2-7 Networking in modem access mode

2 Introduction to the ePico3801

ePico3801

User Guide

2-16 Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

Issue 01 (2009–09–23)

Access Authentication

In modem access networking, access authentication and billing for the ePico3801 can be

performed in one of the following three modes, depending on mobile operators' policies:

lPPPoE dial-up mode

lStatic IP address mode

lDHCP mode

LAN Access

The ePico3801 can be directly connected to the public IP network through a LAN.

Principle of LAN Access

Each ePico3801 is directly connected to a switch or router through the enterprise LAN, which

connects the ePico3801 to the public IP network and isolates the ePico3801 from other

ePico3801s through a private VLAN. After the router performs Network Address Translation

(NAT) for the service data, the service data is sent to the SeGW on the core network of the uBro

solution through the public IP network. The SeGW processes the data and forwards it to the AG

and AAA. Figure 2-8 shows the networking in LAN access mode.

Figure 2-8 Networking in LAN access mode

Access Authentication

Like modem access networking, LAN access networking also supports access authentication in

PPPoE dial-up mode, static IP address mode, and DHCP mode.

2.5.2 Installation Scenarios

If installed in a factory or office building, the ePico3801 does not require a private equipment

room.

The ePico3801 is impact in structure and does not generate any noise. It can be easily installed

on a ceiling, wall, or pole depending on the actual requirements, preferences, and situations. The

installation process does not interfere with users' study or work. Figure 2-9 shows the typical

installation scenarios of the ePico3801.

5.1 Configuring Automatic Network Planning Parameters

This chapter describes how to configure the automatic network planning parameters for the

ePico3801 on the AP Manager (APM). For the deployment of most ePico3801s, the automatic

network planning mode ensures a good radio environment.

Prerequisite

lThe ePico zone has been activated on the APM.

lYou have logged in to the APM. The login account belongs to the Administrator or

Operators group.

lYou have obtained the frequency information planned for the ePico zone.

Context

The frequency list information configured by running the following commands is valid only if

the ePico3801 is in automatic network planning mode.

lAutomatic network planning: The frequencies, scrambling codes, and information about

neighboring cells are configured on the APM. After the ePico3801 is powered on and the

cell is set up, the APM automatically issues the configuration information to the

corresponding ePico3801. No manual configuration is required. By default, the factory

parameter setting mode of the ePico3801 is automatic network planning.

lManual network planning: Change the mode of configuring the frequency, scrambling

code, and information about neighboring cells to manual configuration. For details, see 5.2

Setting ePico Cell Parameters. You can change the configuration information of a cell as

required.

Procedure

Step 1 Log in to the APM. Choose Configuration > Zone Configuration and select an ePico zone to

be maintained. Then, click Configure.

Step 2 In the displayed window, select the correct version from the Version drop-down list, and then

click Next.

Step 3 Set the parameters of the ePico zone. Choose Zone Parameter > WIRELESS >

Configuration in the navigation tree to set the parameters of the ePico zone.

1. Choose APCELLFREQ to set the frequency list of the ePico cell.

NOTE

If the ePico cell is set up in automatic network planning mode, you need to configure the frequency

list of the ePico cell. After the configuration is complete, the ePico searches all the frequencies in

the frequency list to identify a frequency with the minimal interference for itself.

2. Choose APPSCODE to set the scramble code list of the ePico cell.

3. Choose MCELLFREQ to set the macro neighboring cell list of the ePico cell.

cell configuration mode after deactivating the cell. If the cell is in activated state, you cannot

modify the cell information directly.

3. Choose CELL to modify the basic information of the cell. You can use this command to

modify the basic information such as the maximum TX power of a cell, PSCH TX power,

SSCH TX power, PCPICHP TX power, BCH TX power, and downlink maximum TX

power of UEs in a cell.

4. Choose CELLRESETUPTIMER to set the timer for cell reestablishment. This command

is applicable to the automatic network planning mode. Before the timer for periodical cell

reestablishment expires, the cell performs network planning automatically again. In this

case, the ePico3801 automatically selects better parameters related to the network planning

to reestablish the cell according to the new radio environment so that the network quality

of the cell is optimized. If there are UEs in the cell when cell reestablishment time arrives,

the ePico3801 skips this cell reestablishment time and then reestablishes the cell when the

next cell reestablishment time arrives.

5. Choose MAXUEPOWERPARA to set the maximum allowed uplink TX power of a UE.

clock synchronization over the Um interface (preferred). 3G clock synchronization over

the Um interface synchronizes clock from the CPICH with the surrounding 3G macro

base stations. This mode implements the clock synchronization within a short period,

but the ongoing services are disrupted. 2G clock synchronization over the Um interface

synchronizes the clock output from the GSM receiver. This mode implements the clock

synchronization within a short period and the ongoing services are not disrupted. Note

that the neighboring cell information must be configured for the clock synchronization

over the Um interface.

–IP clock synchronization: If the AP is not in the coverage area of the macro cell or the

AP is providing services, the IP clock synchronization mode is used. When the AP

synchronizes the clock for the first time after it is switched on, the clock synchronization

over the Um interface is started to ensure a fast clock synchronization. When the AP

enters the normal working state, the IP clock synchronization is used to ensure the

processing of the ongoing services provided by the AP.

lClock status:

–Free-run: If the clock synchronization is not being performed, for example, after the

clock synchronization is successful or the clock synchronization fails due to the timer

expiration, the clock is in free-run state.

–Fast pull-in: After the board starts the clock synchronization and detects that the clock

packet is normal, the related algorithm calculates the required DA value based on the

clock packet. During the calculation period, the clock is in fast pull-in state.

–Locked: The ePico3801 adjusts the system clock according to the calculated DA value.

If the output clock is within the required precision range, the clock is locked. After that,

the ePico3801 continues to receive clock packets for a certain period to adjust the DA

value when the clock stays locked.

–Hold: After the clock synchronization is successful and the clock enters locked state,

the ePico3801 receives clock packets for a certain period to adjust the DA value. If the

clock source is lost or becomes abnormal during this period, the clock enters hold state.

If the clock is being synchronized, another clock synchronization cannot be started.

lThe parameters of the ePico zone have been set successfully.

lYou have logged in to the AP Manager (APM). The login account belongs to the

Administrator or Operators group.

lThe locating mode of the ePico3801 is specified.

Context

The ePico supports the following UE locating modes:

lUE emergency call locating: When a UE initiates an emergency call, the ePico3801 reports

the Service Area Identity (SAI) of itself to the core network. After receiving the SAI, the

core network sends the SAI and the MSISDN of the UE to the corresponding emergency

call center. After that, the emergency center locates the UE according to the SAI. The

reported SAI, however, is the SAI of the ePico zone. Thus, the locating precision is not

high.

lLCS service: The ePico3801 reports the SAI or geographical location of itself to the core

network according to the location indication displayed on the LCS server. After receiving

the SAI or geographical location information, the core network sends the information to

the LCS server to locate the UE.

lAGPS locating: If the ePico3801 is installed with an AGPS device, the ePico3801 directly

reports the geographical location to the core network after receiving the information from

the AGPS device.

Procedure

Step 1 Set the SAC of the ePico zone. For details, see 5.6.5 Setting the Differentiated Billing

Parameters.

Step 2 Choose Terminal Parameter > WIRELESS > Configuration > SMLC in the navigation tree

to set the emergency call locating parameters.

NOTE

After an emergency call is initiated, if the core network sends a locating request, the AP responds to the

request according to the parameters set on the SMLC.

For details about how to set the parameters, see Help in the corresponding command window.

Step 3 After the parameter setting is complete, click Apply. A system message is displayed, indicating
