Description 2 Technical Description
2 Technical Description
With the rapid growth of the telecom industry and continuous expansion of telecom networks,
the demand for electricity has grown significantly and the operation and maintenance (O&M)
cost in the telecom industry increases. In addition, overuse of energy and overexploitation of
natural resources have contributed to rapid environmental deterioration. High energy
consumption and rapid environmental deterioration have become huge challenges for the
telecom industry. Therefore, telecom operators are in high demand for cost-effective and
environment-friendly solutions to save energy, reduce pollution, and build a green and
harmonious environment. To achieve this goal, Huawei has developed the RRU PA Efficiency
Improvement feature.
An RRU consists of the following components, as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 Composition of the RRU
PA indicates the power amplifier. The PA consumes most of the power of the RRU.
Continuously improved PA efficiency is the green energy-saving goal for base stations
provided by Huawei.
This feature uses the new-generation PA predistortion algorithm with higher complexity for
RRUs to further improve multi-carrier PA efficiency. The PA predistortion algorithm
improves the PA efficiency in various states and reduces RRU power consumption by 2% to
15%.
l After this feature is enabled, the TRX software runs the new PA predistortion algorithm
to improve the PA efficiency and save power consumption.

SingleRAN
Description 2 Technical Description
l After this feature is disabled, the TRX software runs the simplified PA predistortion
algorithm, to keep a normal PA efficiency.
Not all the RRUs support this feature. Only the RRU3268 working in 2.6 GHz and the
RRU3838 support this feature currently. You can run the DSP RRU command to query the
PA efficiency improvement capability. If the RRU PA Efficiency Improvement feature is
supported, you can run the MOD RRU command to set PAEFFSWITCH to ON.
This feature is optional and is under license control in both UMTS and LTE networks. The
sales unit of this feature is per RRU.
l For a single-mode base station, the number of RRUs that can be enabled with this feature
is controlled by the authorized license in UMTS or LTE mode.
l For a co-MPT base station, the number of RRUs that can be enabled with this feature is
controlled by the two authorized licenses in UMTS and LTE modes.
l For a separate-MPT base station, an RRU may connect to two main control boards at the
same time. In this case, only one main control board is enabled with this feature and only
one license is required for the main control board. If both main control boards are
enabled with this feature, this feature still can take effect and each main control board
requires one license. To disable the feature, the feature on both main control boards must
be disabled.

5.4.3 Activation
5.4.3.1 Using MML Commands

Step 1 Run the MOD RRU command on the NodeB or eNodeB to set PAEFFSWITCH to ON for
an RRU.
When all the cells carried on the RRU are deactivated, this feature has been enabled.
When some cells carried on the RRU are activated, this feature takes effect only after the PA
is restarted to protect the PA. To restart the PA, you can deactivate and activate any cell
carried on the RRU in step 2.

SingleRAN
Step 2 Deactivate and activate any cell on the RRU for the NodeB or eNodeB.
l For a NodeB, run the DEA UCELL and ACT UCELL commands.
l For an eNodeB, run the DEA CELL and ACT CELL commands.
NOTE
Perform this operation when the traffic is light (for example, in the early morning) because the
operation may interrupt services.

5.4.3.2 MML Command Examples

//Setting PAEFFSWITCH to ON for an RRU
MOD RRU: CN=0, SRN=60, SN=0, PAEFFSWITCH=ON;
//Deactivating and activating a NodeB cell
DEA UCELL: CellId=0;
ACT UCELL: CellId=0;
//Deactivating and activating an eNodeB cell
DEA CELL: LocalCellId=0;
ACT CELL: LocalCellId=0;
5.4.3.3 Using the CME

This feature can be activated using the CME. This section uses the eNodeB as an example.

5.4.6.1 Using MML Commands

Step 1 Run the MOD RRU command on the NodeB or eNodeB to set PAEFFSWITCH to OFF for
an RRU.
When all the cells carried on the RRU are deactivated, this feature has been disabled.
When some cells carried on the RRU are activated, this feature can be disabled only after the
PA is restarted to protect the PA. To restart the PA, you can deactivate and activate any cell
carried on the RRU in step 2.
Step 2 Deactivate and activate any cell on the RRU for the NodeB or eNodeB.
l For a NodeB, run the DEA UCELL and ACT UCELL commands.
l For an eNodeB, run the DEA CELL and ACT CELL commands.
NOTE
Perform this operation when the traffic is light (for example, in the early morning) because the
operation may interrupt services.
