Throughput Specifications
The following tables provide the uplink and downlink throughput per UE, per cell, and per
baseband processing unit (BBP) supported by an FDD eNodeB.

Table 1-8 Maximum uplink and downlink throughput per UE supported by an FDD eNodeB

NOTE
When LBBPd boards are used for 256QAM, the maximum throughput per UE is only 295.30 Mbit/s in
the scenario of 20 MHz cell bandwidth and DL 4x4 MIMO due to limitations of board throughput
specifications.

the scenario of 20 MHz cell bandwidth and DL 4x4 MIMO due to limitations of board throughput
specifications.
Signaling Specifications
Busy Hour Call Attempts (BHCA) is the number of calls attempted at a busy hour. Signaling
procedures required for completing a call may include call setup and release (including CS
fallback if it occurs) and the following activities during the on-hold call: handover, tracking
area update (TAU), bearer setup and release, and switching between the in-synchronization
state and the out-of-synchronization state. BHCA indicates the signaling processing
capabilities of a system.
A busy-hour call initiated on different operator networks involves different types and numbers
of signaling procedures and therefore consumes different amounts of eNodeB resources. As a
result, the BHCA capability varies depending on the call model.
The following table lists the signaling specifications of an FDD eNodeB based on the typical
board configuration and the definition of one BHCA, which is provided in Traffic Model.
Table 1-11 Signaling specifications of an FDD eNodeB with the typical board configuration
NOTE
Traffic Model
On live networks, the traffic capacity of an FDD eNodeB depends on the traffic model in
addition to system processing capacities. This section describes two traffic models.
l Traffic model 1 derives from a typical LTE network where smartphones dominate. UEs
in this traffic model are characterized by short online duration, frequent network access
and connection release, high mobility, and a large number of small-packet data services.
l Traffic model 2 derives from a typical LTE network where data cards dominate. LTE
dongles and customer premises equipment (CPE) are examples of such data cards. UEs
in this traffic model are characterized by long online durations, low mobility, and many
large-packet data services.
Traffic models used on operator networks may differ from those defined by Huawei.
Operators can use either of the two traffic models based on network characteristics to perform
initial network planning, and construct an industry-leading LTE network through continuous
capacity monitoring and expansion.
The following table describes the control-plane specifications for traffic models 1 and 2.

The following table describes the user-plane specifications for traffic model 2.
Based on the definition of traffic model 1, one BHCA (that is, one combined PS call) is
defined by taking every item in traffic model 1 divided by the PS call density. The details of
one BHCA are listed below. Based on this table, the BHCA specifications of equipment can
be defined in following chapters.

On live networks, the service capacity of a TDD eNodeB depends on system processing
capacities in addition to the traffic model used. This section describes two traffic models.
l Traffic model 1 derives from a typical LTE network where smartphones dominate. UEs
in this traffic model are characterized by short online duration, frequent network access
and connection release, high mobility, and a large number of small-packet data services.
l Traffic model 2 derives from a typical LTE network where data cards dominate. LTE
dongles and customer premises equipment (CPE) are examples of such data cards. UEs
in this traffic model are characterized by long online durations, low mobility, and many
large-packet data services.
The following table describes the control-plane specifications for traffic models 1 and 2.

Signaling Specifications
Busy Hour Call Attempts (BHCA) is the number of calls attempted at a busy hour. Signaling
procedures required for completing a call may include call setup and release (including CS
fallback if it occurs) and the following activities during the on-hold call: handover, TAU,
bearer setup and release, and switching between the in-synchronization state and the out-of-
synchronization state. BHCA indicates the signaling processing capabilities of a system.
A busy-hour call initiated on different operator networks involves different types and numbers
of signaling procedures and therefore consumes different amounts of LTE system resources.
As a result, the BHCA capability varies depending on the call model.
The following table lists the signaling specifications of an NB-IoT eNodeB with the typical
board configuration.

services by specifying the QoS class identifier (QCI). VoLTE services are characterized by a

As one of the most important features in LTE-A networks, CA provides a peak data rate of 1
Gbit/s by aggregating contiguous carriers or non-contiguous carriers. A CA UE is served by a
primary component carrier (PCC) and at least one secondary component carrier (SCC).
According to the architecture and working principles of CA, a UE on its PCC consumes more
baseband processing resources than a non-CA UE performing data services, and a UE on one
of its SCCs consumes fewer baseband processing resources than a non-CA UE performing
data services.
Huawei uses model 1 to define the maximum number of CA UEs. The following table lists

l Specifications in the preceding table are provided based on the assumption that the LTE TDD cell
bandwidth is 20 MHz.
The following table provides the uplink and downlink throughput per BBP working in TM
mode.
Table 1-109 Maximum uplink and downlink throughput per BBP working in TM mode
The following table lists the signaling specifications of a UBBP working in TM mode.
UBBPe4 302,000+193,000
UBBPe6 454,000+292,000
NOTE
l (1):
In A+B in the preceding table, A indicates the maximum LTE TDD signaling specifications
supported by this board and B indicates the maximum LTE NB-IoT signaling specifications
supported by this board.
l The signaling specifications of an eNodeB cannot exceed 4,860,000 BHCA.
Multi-RAT
In co-BBP scenarios, the baseband signals of multiple RATs are processed by one baseband
processing board. Co-BBP specifications refer to the maximum processing capability per
baseband processing board when it processes baseband signals of multiple RATs at the same
time. For example, GL co-BBP specifications refer to the maximum processing capability per
baseband processing board when it processes GSM and LTE FDD baseband signals
simultaneously.
The following tables provide GU/GL/UL/UM/GUL/ULM co-BBP specifications.
NOTE
l For a UBBPd3/UBBPd4 board working in co-BBP mode of which the supported RATs include GSM
and LTE (for example, GL co-BBP), an LTE FDD cell cannot be associated with any inband NB-IoT
cell.
l In co-MPT scenarios, a UBBPe board can function as a GSM CPRI interface board, connecting to
RF modules that process GSM baseband signals.
l If LTE and related NB inband cells are set up on different baseband processing boards, baseband
signals can be forwarded by the UBBP but cannot be forwarded by the WBBP.
