Issue 04 (2017-12-06) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 1

eRAN
According to the standard process specified in 3GPP Specifications, the eNodeB

performs MDT to collect UE locations only if the operator has obtained user consent and
configured user authorization in subscription information on the EPC side.
l Obtaining privacy data
The eNodeB performs MDT to collect locations of authorized UEs. According to the
standard process specified in 3GPP Specifications, a UE is considered authorized if the
IE Management Based MDT Allowed is contained in S1 signaling on the EPC side.
l Privacy data storage
Storage and access of UE locations collected by MDT require accounts and passwords
authorized by the operator. Accesses to UE locations are recorded in logs.
l Protection for exported privacy data
Exporting MDT data requires accounts and passwords authorized by the operator. All
operations are recorded in logs, and FTP transmission supports SFTP secure
transmission.
l Transfer of privacy data to third parties or cross-border privacy data export
The eNodeB neither transfers UE locations collected by MDT to third parties nor exports
such UE locations in another country.
l Privacy data deletion
UE locations collected by MDT are automatically deleted when the disk is full.
Suggestions on Privacy Data Operations

l The operator should obtain user authorization for collection of privacy data and perform
MDT to collect only data of authorized UE.
l Exported UE locations collected by MDT must be protected.
l Exporting MDT data, which contains UE locations, from operator networks must comply
with local laws.
Privacy Data Operation Statement

UE locations contained in MDT data are privacy data and may incur legal risks. Use such data
according to local industry laws.

Independent MDT Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Background
After a network is deployed, multiple drive tests (DTs) must be performed to provide a
reference for network optimization and to achieve the best possible network coverage and
performance. MDT automatically collects, reports, and preprocesses measurement data,
requiring less labor, equipment, and time than traditional manual DTs. However, MDT
requires that the mobility management entity (MME) supports the authentication function and
that UEs authorize the use of the MDT function, limiting the amount of MDT data to be
collected. To improve data collection efficiency, Huawei has introduced the Independent
MDT feature.
2.2 Introduction
With Independent MDT, the eNodeB selects UEs to automatically collect measurement data
without requiring authentication from the MME or the UEs. Telecom operators can use the
collected data to optimize networks, evaluate user experience, and address customer
complaints.
2.3 Benefits
This feature provides the following benefits:
l Lower labor, equipment, and time costs than manual DTs
l Extensive accurate DT data
l Exemption from authorization of UEs for MDT
2.4 Architecture

NOTE
For details about MDT event descriptions, see sections 5.5 and 5.6.6 in 3GPP TS 36.331 V11.7.0
and section 5.2 in 3GPP TS37.320 V11.3.0. If a cell has subscribed to the MDT RLF event and a
UE that experienced an RLF in the cell reestablishes a connection to another cell, the target cell
must be configured as an external cell of the previous cell so that the MDT RLF event can be
reported.
2. The U2000 delivers MDT subscription data to the TS.
3. The TS forwards the subscription data to the eNodeB. After the subscription is complete,
a subscription success message is returned to the U2000.
4. The eNodeB selects UEs to collect MDT events based on MDT subscription tasks. Table
3-2 describes how an eNodeB selects UEs.
Table 3-2 Selecting UEs

Subscribing to MDT Events How to Select UEs
Intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and A2 The eNodeB selects UEs based on

MDT events associated parameter settings. For details,
see Selecting UEs for Collection of
Intra-Frequency, Inter-Frequency, and
A2 MDT Events.
Logged MDT events The eNodeB selects UEs of which the

capability messages contain the
loggedMeasurementsIdle-r10 IE.
Other MDT events Without being selected by the eNodeB,

UEs proactively report these events to the
eNodeB.

eRAN
5. UEs report MDT data to the eNodeB.

6. The eNodeB saves the MDT data and sends it to the TS.
7. The network optimization plane (Huawei Nastar or a third-party network optimization
analysis tool) obtains MDT data from the TS for geographic display, helping operators
optimize networks.
NOTE
Huawei Nastar has an independent MDT event subscription interface, which delivers subscription
tasks and receives MDT reports through the TS. For detailed operations, see Nastar-related
documents.
Selecting UEs for Collection of Intra-Frequency, Inter-Frequency, and A2 MDT

Events
To collect intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and A2 MDT events, the eNodeB selects UEs as
follows:
1. The eNodeB checks whether GLOBALPROCSWITCH.PrivateMdtUeSelSwitch has
been turned on.
– If this switch has been turned on, Independent MDT is enabled.
When Independent MDT is enabled, the eNodeB considers all UEs to be candidate
MDT UEs, regardless of whether they are MDT-authorized UEs.
– If this switch has been turned off, MDT is enabled.
When MDT is enabled, the eNodeB checks whether UEs are MDT-authorized. If
they are, the eNodeB considers them to be candidate MDT UEs.
NOTE
l UEs are identified as MDT-authorized when the MME sends the Initial UE Context Setup
Request message carrying the Management Based MDT Allowed field to the eNodeB.
l Each time the eNodeB checks whether UEs are MDT-authorized, it also checks the inter-
frequency EARFCN capabilities of newly accessing UEs.
2. In every connection duration specified by the period and number of times, the eNodeB
selects UEs based on Cell-level traced UE count and using the following MDT UE
selection policies:
– Polling selection: The eNodeB randomly selects candidate MDT UEs in the active
state and with GNSS capabilities one by one.
– Capability-preferred selection: The eNodeB sorts UEs based on their measurement-
related capabilities and preferentially selects high-capability UEs.
n In this mode, UEs that support certain measurement capabilities, as listed
below, are preferentially selected. Such UEs are hereinafter referred to as
MDT UEs. For details about UE measurement capabilities, see section 6.3.6 in
3GPP TS36.331 V11.7.0.
○ loggedMeasurementsIdle-r10: indicates that the UE supports MDT-
related measurement in idle mode.
○ standaloneGNSS-Location-r10: indicates that the UE supports reporting
of longitude and latitude information in the MDT data.
○ Inter-frequency measurement and periodic intra-frequency measurement
capabilities
n When receiving a measurement task, the UE does not report MDT
measurement result if it does not have the related measurement capability.

eRAN
n If the MrMdtMeasOptSwitch option of the

GlobalProcSwitch.ProtocolMsgOptSwitch parameter is selected and both
common measurement reports and MDT events are subscribed for MDT UEs,
the eNodeB will deliver both common and MDT measurement configurations
to such UEs, which then send both common and MDT measurement reports
based on the measurement configurations.
NOTE
l If MDT events that require UE measurement are enabled, for example, the intra-frequency, inter-
frequency, and A2 MDT events, RRC connection reestablishments may increase if UEs supporting
MDT but not able to report MDT data are selected, causing an increase in the call drop rate. If there
are such UEs that may deteriorate KPIs on the live network, enable the MDT whitelist function
according to instructions in Terminal Awareness Differentiation Feature Parameter Description.
l If the number of periodic measurements for MDT events is infinite:
1. When the number of UEs in the cell is less than Cell-level traced UE count, the eNodeB will
select UEs that newly access the cell for measurement.
2. When the number of UEs in the cell is greater than or equal to Cell-level traced UE count, the
eNodeB selects UEs for measurement only once and does not perform polling selection.
Activating UE GPS
Before collecting MDT intra-frequency measurement events, inter-frequency MDT
measurement events, and MDT A2 events, you can set the Active UE GPS parameter to true.
Then the eNodeB delivers the reconfiguration message IE obtainLocationConfig to instruct
MDT-authorized UEs to proactively enable GPS.
The UE response to the GPS activation command depends on the UE manufacturer. For
security reasons, an eNodeB cannot proactively activate GPS for unauthorized MDT UEs. If a
UE does not support reporting of longitude and latitude, set the
MMEFEATURECFG.MdtEnable parameter to ENABLE(enable), which will allow the
MME to support a Huawei proprietary positioning function. With the Huawei-proprietary
function, the eNodeB can obtain UE locations from the MME. To support the Huawei
proprietary positioning function, Huawei MME and positioning server are required and the
UE capability message sent to the eNodeB must have the A-GNSS-ProvideCapabilities IE.
The Huawei-proprietary positioning procedure is as follows:
Step 1 The eNodeB sends a Huawei-proprietary positioning request to the MME.
Step 2 The MME forwards the request to the positioning server.
Step 3 The positioning server and MME exchange positioning-assisted information through NAS
messages.
Step 4 The MME sends Huawei-proprietary messages carrying UE locations to the eNodeB.

Independent MDT Feature Parameter Description 5 Network Impact
5 Network Impact
System Capacity
When Independent MDT is enabled, reporting MDT data consumes Uu interface resources,
increasing the CPU usage by up to 5%.
Network Performance
When Independent MDT is enabled, intra-frequency or inter-frequency MDT measurement
may conflict with handover measurement, decreasing the access and handover success rates
by up to 0.5%.
Inter-frequency measurement causes UEs to enter the GAP state, and some subframes will be
temporarily unable to transmit data, slightly decreasing the average cell throughput.
Subscribing to the Logged MDT event may result in a slight decrease in the RRC connection
setup success rate if certain UEs are not compatible with this event.

Independent MDT Feature Parameter Description 6 Engineering Guidelines
6 Engineering Guidelines
6.1 When to Use

l If Independent MDR is enabled, a large number of MDT MRs will be reported. For
commercial networks, enable this feature on a per cluster basis, not for the entire
network. It is recommended that the following MDT events be triggered:
– Intra-frequency measurement
– Radio link failure
– Connection setup failure
– Traffic volume/throughput
The number of MDT MRs to be reported can be calculated using the following formula:
Number of MDT MRs to be reported = Number of selected UEs x Number of times UEs
report MDT MRs
If the number of times UEs report MDT MRs is set to "infinite", the number must be
converted as follows:
Number of times UEs report MDT MRs = Average UE online duration/Period for
reporting MRs
In the formula above, the average UE online duration is obtained using the following
formula:
L.E-RAB.SessionTime.UE.HighPrecision/L.Traffic.User.Avg/1000s
l Set the number of times for MDT event reporting to the same as the number of times for
MR reporting if both the MR and MDT functions are enabled.
l Do not enable the inter-frequency and A2 MDT events because these events affect
network performance. The only exception is when inter-frequency MDT analysis is
required to address network issues. Disable the events immediately after data collection
is complete.
l Subscribing to the Logged MDT event may result in a slight decrease in the RRC
connection setup success rate when certain UEs are not compatible with this event. You
are advised to test compatibility of mainstream UEs with this event and add compatible
UEs in the MDT whitelist. MDT measurements are performed only for UEs in this
whitelist to avoid a negative network impact. For how to add such UEs in the whitelist,
see whitelist control in Terminal Awareness Differentiation Feature Parameter
Description.

eRAN
l Enable Independent MDT when there are more than 10 UEs supporting MDT per cell.
l Enable Independent MDT on networks where a large number of the eNodeBs are
outdoor macro base stations. Most UEs receive little MDT data from distributed
eNodeBs so this feature has little network optimization effect in such scenarios.

6.4.3 Data Preparation and Feature Activation

Step 1 Set Private MDT UE Selection Switch to ON(On).
Step 2 Subscribe to MDT tasks on the U2000.
On the U2000 client, choose Signaling Trace > Signaling Trace Management > Cell Trace
to create a trace task. In the Cell Trace dialog box, specify the following parameters: Trace
name, Cell trace ID, Select cells, Cell-level traced UE count., TCE IP (consistent with the
setting of TCEIPMAPPING.TceIpV4Addr or TCEIPMAPPING.TceIpV6Addr for the
eNodeB), Trace Depth, and Trace Duration.
NOTE
l Anywhere from 5 to 100 cells can be traced simultaneously on the U2000, depending on the license
and the TS deployment mode.
l The data for a maximum of 400 UEs can be collected. (If the corresponding parameter is set to 0, the
number of UEs is infinite.)
l For details about MDT subscription and analysis, see iManager U2000 MBB Network System Online
Help for V200R016.
l If maximum-depth traced signaling data is collected with the MDT data, the UE selection method
used by the maximum-depth traced signaling data is preferred. Specifically, UEs that have accessed
the network most recently and are in RRC_CONNECTED mode are selected. For details about
maximum-depth signaling data trace, see section 5.3 in 3GPP TS 32.422 V11.8.1.
Step 3 Set event parameters for subscription tasks.
After you select an MDT event, click Setting. The Parameter Settings dialog box is
displayed. Specify Measurement report period, Measurement report times, MDT UE
selection method, and Active UE GPS.
NOTE
l Subscription to MDT events by cell tracing is subject to the U2000 specification expressed in terms
of the number of UEs that can be traced, and event M3 cannot be subscribed by cell tracing. The TS
can be used to subscribe to MDT events. For details about the U2000 specification expressed in
terms of the number of UEs that can be traced during cell tracing and TS operations, see iManager
U2000 MBB Network Management System Product Documentation.
l If Measurement report times is set to Infinite, UEs in RRC_CONNECTED mode may keep
reporting measurement data indefinitely, which increases the power consumption of the UEs.
l If MDT UE selection method is set to different values for different MDT events, the eNodeB will
use the polling method to select UEs.
l If Active UE GPS is set to true for some MDT events but to false for others, the eNodeB considers
the GPS function unable to be activated for all MDT events.

6.7 Possible Issues

If no MDT data is reported, perform the troubleshooting as follows:
1. Check whether MDT tasks have been successfully subscribed to and whether an
eNodeB/U2000 fault alarm has been reported.
2. If MDT task subscription failed, resubscribe to the MDT tasks. If an eNodeB/U2000
fault alarm was reported, clear the alarm first.
3. Check whether MDT data is reported. If MDT data is reported, no further action is
required. If the problem persists, contact Huawei technical support.

D-00103
6 GeranAnrMcOptSwitch: This option controls whether
measurement configuration optimization takes effect
when ANR with GERAN is enabled. If this option is
deselected, the optimization does not take effect. That
is, when an eNodeB delivers measurement
configuration to UEs to perform CGI reading for ANR
with GERAN, the carrierFreqs IE can contain multiple
GERAN frequencies. If this option is selected, the
optimization takes effect, and the carrierFreqs IE
contains only one GERAN frequency. This option
applies only to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
InactDiscardSwitch: This option specifies whether to
terminate the ongoing signaling flow when the UE
inactivity timer expires. If this option is deselected,
the ongoing flow is terminated and the eNodeB
directly releases the UE. If this option is selected, the
ongoing flow is not terminated and the timer is
restarted. This option applies only to LTE FDD and
LTE TDD.
SRVCCHoBasedUeCapSwitch: If this option is
selected, the eNodeB determines whether to trigger an
SRVCC based only on UE's SRVCC capabilities, not
the SRVCCOperationPossible IE that the MME sends
to the eNodeB. If this option is deselected, the
eNodeB determines whether to trigger an SRVCC
based on the SRVCCOperationPossible IE that the
MME sends to the eNodeB. This option applies only
to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
L2GPLMNChooseOptSwitch: This option specifies
whether to enable target PLMN ID optimization for
handovers to GERAN. If this option is selected, the
eNodeB takes the NCL-defined PLMN IDs and
includes them in the handover request messages or
RIM request messages. If this option is deselected, the
optimization is not activated. This option applies only
HoInRrcRecfgMcCombSwitch: If this option is
selected, after a UE is handed over to a cell, the cell

eRAN

nd
delivers the radio resource configuration and

measurement configuration in a single RRC
Connection Reconfiguration message to the UE
during the resource reconfiguration procedure. This
option applies only to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
UeCapEnquiryCombSwitch: If this option is selected
and a UE sends an Attach Request message to an
eNodeB during initial access, the eNodeB directly
queries capabilities of the UE after the RRC
connection for the UE is established. This option does
not apply to subsequent UE capability query induced
by the CA extended frequency band combination
query. If this option is deselected and a UE sends an
Attach Request message to an eNodeB during initial
access, the eNodeB does not query capabilities of the
UE until the MME sends a UE context setup request
to the eNodeB. This option applies only to LTE FDD
and LTE TDD.
UeTraceOptSwitch: If this option is selected, the
eNodeB does not handle the DEACTIVATE TRACE
message sent by the MME or stop the UE tracing task
in the eNodeB until the UE is released or handed over
to a cell served by another eNodeB. This option
PaDistributeMechOptSwitch: If this option is selected,
the PaPcOff parameter value is taken as the PA value
in the RRCConnectionSetup or RRC Connection
Reestablishment message. If this option is deselected,
the PA value is set to -3 dB by default. This option
InactReSyncCompatSwitch: If this option is selected
and the eNodeB determines that the UE inactivity
timer expires and the resynchronization procedure is
being performed, the eNodeB preferentially processes
the resynchronization procedure and the timer restarts.
If this option is deselected, the optimization does not
take effect. That is, the UE is directly released when
the UE inactivity timer expires. This option applies
only to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
VolteX2HoDelayOptSwitch: If this option is selected,
when receiving a VoLTE UE handover complete
message, the target eNodeB for an X2-based handover
starts to send uplink data with QCI of 1. If this option
is deselected, the target eNodeB for an X2-based
handover starts to send uplink data with QCI of 1 after
receiving an MME PATH SWITCH REQUEST

nd
ACKNOWLEDGE message. This option applies only

UeUtranCapEnquiryOptSwitch: When a serving cell
is not configured with neighboring UTRAN cells, the
eNodeB does not query UE's UTRAN capability if
this option is selected. If this option is deselected, this
optimization does not take effect. This option applies
only to LTE TDD.
FreqRandomOptSwitch: If this option is selected, the
eNodeB randomly selects a target frequency when
there are multiple candidate frequencies with the same
priority. If this option is deselected, this optimization
function does not take effect. This option applies only
MrMdtMeasOptSwitch: If this option is selected,
measurement configurations related to MR and MDT
based on Intra-Frequency and Inter-Frequency are
delivered separately. If this option is deselected, this
optimization does not take effect. This option applies
only to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
