2 Overview
Overview
Configuration management allows you to configure network resources by using configuration

data in network devices. This controls the running status of network devices. You can configure
network resources, and monitor and control configuration parameters for network devices. This
is to ensure that telecom operators can provide effective network operation and maintenance
(O&M).
Configuration management is required on the entire network O&M cycle.
l
During network deployment, configuration management allows you to initialize

configuration data, and install and set up network devices.
During network adjustment and optimization, configuration management allows you to

configure parameters for new features, and modify parameter settings for scenarios such
as network capacity expansion, transmission adjustment, and wireless network
performance optimization.
For example, add, delete, or modify network parameters to maintain the quality of service
(QoS) of a network during network optimization. You can modify parameters for an NE
or for the entire network.
During routine O&M, configuration management allows you to monitor and modify
network parameters.
Before you add, delete, or modify a parameter, ensure that your operation will have minimal
impact on services. To achieve this, configuration management provides the following
capabilities:
l
Security management
Configuration management allows you to control access permission to network resources.
Data validity check

Configuration management allows you to add, delete or modify a parameter under
constraints on logical data, to ensure that the parameter is correct and valid. In an end-toend configuration data scheme, ensure data integrity and consistency when you modify
network parameters.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

SingleRAN
3 Structure
Structure
Radio access networks (RANs) are divided into three layers: NE layer (NEL), element
management layer (EML), and network management layer (NML). Accordingly, SingleRAN
configuration management has three layers: NE configuration, subnet configuration
management, and network configuration management.
l
NE configuration
Huawei provides various clients that support man-machine language (MML) interfaces,
including the web-based LMT (Web LMT) and MML command-line interface integrated
with the U2000. Such clients allow you to run MML scripts to fine-tune NE configuration
parameters. You can also modify NE configuration parameters on the Configuration
Management Express (CME) through the southbound interface.
Subnet configuration management

Huawei provides the CME, a professional configuration solution used to perform EMSlayer configuration management. The CME helps you centrally manage a SingleRAN
network. The CME provides scenario-based templates and foolproof wizards, which allow
you to efficiently migrate base stations, adjust networks, and check for consistency between
parameter settings. The CME is recommended for configuration operations rather than Web
LMT.
Network configuration management

NMS-layer configuration management is a configuration solution for the entire network.
The northbound interface allows EMSs from different vendors to be connected to the
telecom operator's NMS. Huawei CME is connected to the NMS through the northbound
interface. The telecom operator usually has a comprehensive evaluation system in the NMS
for parameter planning. After the planning system determines the parameters to be
optimized, you can send the modified parameter information to the CME through the
northbound interface. The CME then modifies the parameters for NEs. This greatly
improves end-to-end O&M efficiency and reduces the operating expense (OPEX).
Figure 3-1 shows the configuration management structure.

3.1 NE Configuration
3.1.1 Southbound Interface Overview
The CME is connected to NEs through a southbound interface, which is a private interface. After
generating configuration scripts, the CME sends these configuration scripts to NEs through the
southbound interface. Configuration scripts take effect on NEs and configuration data is
modified. The southbound interface supports two configuration script formats: MML and XML.
The configuration capability of the southbound interface is determined by that of NEs. Figure
3-2 shows how an NE processes a configuration script.
Figure 3-2 NE processing a configuration script
Step 1 The script parser in the configuration management module parses the script and performs
database operations according to the instructions in the script, as shown in steps 1 and 2 of
Figure 3-2.
Step 2 The configuration management module starts the data validity check, as shown in step 3 of
Figure 3-2
l If the data validity check fails, the configuration management module rolls the data back by
using the database transaction control mechanism and stops data processing.
l If the data validity check succeeds, the configuration management module instructs the
application module, such as the NodeB Application Part (NBAP) or Radio Resources (RR),
to change the data. The application module adjusts services according to data changes. Then,
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

SingleRAN
3 Structure
the application module sends the processed result to the configuration management module,
as shown in steps 4 and 5 of Figure 3-2.
Step 3 The configuration management module creates a script execution report according to the
processed result sent by the application module and sends the report to the EMS layer through
the southbound interface, as shown in step 6 of Figure 3-2.
----End
NOTE
In normal cases, an NE processing system is designed on a module basis. Therefore, the configuration
management module and application processing module may be located in different boards or modules.
These two modules interact by using the lower-layer communication mechanism.
3.1.2 EMS Layer Description

The EMS layer includes the Web LMT, U2000, and CME. Their configuration capabilities are
as follows:
l
The Web LMT is a configuration tool for a single NE. Users can issue a single or multiple
MML commands on the Web LMT to configure the NE.
The U2000 client integrates the Web LMT functions.
The CME allows users to concurrently configure multiple NEs. As a configuration tool on
the EMS layer, the CME configures NE data through the southbound interface.
Configuration parameters on NEs can be modified at the same time. You are advised to use
the CME to configure data.
NOTE
MML interfaces are located on the NE layer. Therefore, the configuration commands sent by a client (Web
LMT, U2000, or CME) that supports MML interfaces take effect only on an NE. The configuration
parameters for another NE cannot be modified at the same time. When modifying NE parameters by using
such a client, you need to manually modify the parameters on all related NEs.
3.2 Subnet Configuration Management

The EMS-layer configuration solution CME is a standalone service that is set up on the U2000
platform. The CME performs the following:
l
Configures network-level parameters and ensures the integrity and consistency of networklevel parameters on NEs.
Manages multi-mode products, such as Global System for Mobile Communications

(GSM), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), and Long Term Evolution
(LTE). Data can be interchanged between these products (NEs).
Supports concurrent operations of multiple users.
Connects to the telecom operator's operations support system (OSS) through the
northbound interface.
3.2.1 Software System Structure

Figure 3-3 shows the CME software structure.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

SingleRAN
3 Structure
Figure 3-3 CME software structure
The CME has a client/server (C/S) architecture. You can use the CME client to perform O&M
tasks related to configuration on a graphical user interface (GUI). The CME provides wizards
to guide you step by step through complex operations in special scenarios, for example, base
station deployment or migration.
The CME server allows you to manage configuration data for all NEs on the entire network.
Complex logical computation is performed based on these NE data to process configuration data.
The CME server is set up on the U2000 platform. In actual application, the CME has independent
logical database space in the U2000 database where it stores and computes data.
3.2.2 Functions
Data Shared Between NEs of Different RATs
The database design allows different types of NEs to have their own logical database space. NEs
of different radio access technologies (RATs), however, can share data. The CME processes
data for the entire network, therefore maintaining data consistency network-wide.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

SingleRAN
3 Structure
Highly Reliable O&M

To facilitate concurrent operations by multiple users and provide highly reliable O&M, the CME
provides current and planned data areas.
The current data area mirrors the configuration data of all NEs. When the configuration data
changes, the CME synchronizes the changed data to the current data area by using the attribute
value change (AVC) notification mechanism. This ensures that the configuration data in the
current data area is synchronized with the NE data in the network. The configuration data in the
current data area is read-only. If you need to modify the data, you must create the corresponding
planned data area. When you create a planned data area, the CME copies the data from the current
data area to the planned data area to protect data integrity. Therefore, the O&M tasks are carried
out by performing configuration operations based on the planned data area.
Planned data areas are isolated from each other. Different users can concurrently perform
operations for different configuration tasks based on different planned data areas. In addition,
the configuration operations based on "offline" planned data areas do not affect the live network.
This improves configuration reliability.
Data Validation Mechanism

Correct and consistent configuration data is the basis for high performance of network devices.
The CME provides the data validation mechanism for configuration operations (including
adding, deleting and modifying data) based on the planned area. This ensures that data is logically
correct.
When you complete configuration operations, the CME generates incremental scripts according
to your operations. The CME also provides the script executor, which controls script activation
on NEs. The script executor supports multiple activation methods based on configuration
application scenarios, such as break on failure and best effort activation, helping monitor and
manage activation processes.
The CME can manage NEs that are of the same type but support different NE versions on the
entire network. The multi-version scheduling module loads NE versions and locates the version
that you need.
The CME server provides the XML-oriented batch CM interface that is based on Common
Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) to support multiple client access. The standard
CORBA-related protocol messages specified in 3GPP can be processed by the CME server.
3.2.3 Configuration Data Flow

Uplink and downlink data interchange in the EMS configuration solution is a closed-loop data
flow. The data flow in the CME-based EMS configuration solution is shown in Figure 3-4.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

SingleRAN
3 Structure
Figure 3-4 Data flow in the CME-based EMS configuration solution
The data flow in Figure 3-4 is as follows:

1.
The CME uses the data synchronization function to extract the NE data from the live
network to the current data area. The mirrored NE configuration data is generated.
2.
The CME creates multiple planned data areas based on the current data area. Different users
can concurrently perform configuration operations based on different planned data areas.
These planned data areas are isolated and do not affect each other.
3.
Users perform configuration operations based on planned data areas. The configuration
data can be imported from an Excel file, or imported from an XML file through the
northbound interface, or configured by using the GUI. After the configuration is complete,
users can extract a data modification report and verify that the data has been modified.
NOTE
The modified data is highlighted in the CME GUI based on the data modification report.
4.
CME provides the script generation mechanism. CME generates incremental configuration
scripts and fallback scripts according to user operations.
5.
When the scripts are activated on an NE, modified configuration data takes effect on the
NE.
6.
The NE reports an AVC notification to the CME. The CME updates the data in the current
data area according to a preset policy. This ensures that the data in the current data area is
synchronized with the data on the live network.

SingleRAN
3 Structure
NOTE
Scripts from different planned data areas can enable an NE to send an AVC notification. If you use
the Web LMT or U2000 to perform operations on the NE, the NE can also send an AVC notification.
3.2.4 Northbound Interface

The CME supports the batch configuration management of the northbound interface based on
XML files. Through the northbound interface, the CME is connected to the telecom operator's
NMS. This increases end-to-end configuration efficiency.
The telecom operator's NMS has its own planning system that consists of transmission and
wireless parameter planning systems. During routine O&M, the planning system determines the
network configuration parameters to be optimized based on the monitoring and analysis of
network performance. The planning system sends a request to the CME to modify parameters
through the northbound interface. The CME analyzes XML files for batch configuration
management based on the planned data areas, modifies the data, performs the data validity check,
and generates incremental configuration scripts. After the configuration scripts are activated on
an NE, the modified parameters take effect on the NE. The NE performance is optimized.
Figure 3-5 shows the configuration process through the northbound interface
Figure 3-5 Configuration process through the northbound interface
The northbound interface design is in accordance with the following rules:

Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

12
SingleRAN
3 Structure
The uplink and downlink data uses the XML file interface to support batch data
configuration through the northbound interface.
The northbound interface can be automatically controlled based on CORBA. This complies
with 3GPP Release 9.
XML files can be manually imported by using the CME client.
The northbound interface supports all configuration scenarios, including deploying base
stations, adjusting transmission, optimizing radio parameters, adjusting neighbor
relationship, and migrating base stations.
The CME provides only basic functions for modifying parameters in batches, but it cannot
provide intelligent and combined service operations. For example, neighbor relationship is
dynamically adjusted by the configuration inventory management system of the NMS
during migration.
The northbound interface supports concurrent operations for multiple northbound interface
managers. In RAN sharing application, northbound interface also supports permission
control by telecom operator.
The earlier version northbound interface also allows new NEs to be managed by the NMS.
NOTE
How a northbound interface is interconnected depends on the telecom operator's NMS. Therefore, the CME
must be adaptable to the telecom operator's NMS.
Northbound data models are modified based on the northbound parameter exit mechanism, as
shown in Figure 3-6. The figure also shows the status of parameters to exit when a version is
exiting.

3.2.5 Typical Application Scenarios

Network Planning
You need to plan for a network before you deploy, adjust, or optimize the network. The CME
supports data imported from the following two sources:
l
Data calculated by using a network planning tool
Data negotiated with the telecom operator
After obtaining planned data, save the data in XLS summary data files provided by the CME
for future configuration.
Network Deployment
In this scenario, configure data for newly deployed NEs (base station controllers or base stations)
for a new site. The CME provides flexible data configuration methods for a new site. Choose
one of the following methods based on site requirements:
l
Configuring data by using the GUI

This method is applicable to a new NE (base station controller or base station), or adjustment
to some data that is configured for NEs in batches. To improve efficiency in configuring
data for base stations, the CME provides default templates for different base station types
and cells. You can customize these templates to quickly create base stations.
Importing data from data planning files

This method is applicable when configuring data for base stations that are created in batches
and for different interfaces on controllers. When creating base stations in batches, you can
also use default or user-defined templates to simplify the process of configuring the same
data for base stations or cells. If the base stations or cells have different configuration data,
the CME provides a customization tool for XLS summary data files. You can customize
the planning summary data files based on site requirements, and import these data files to
create base stations in batches.
Importing data from XML files through the northbound interface

This method is applicable after the CME is connected to the 3GPP Release9-compliant
northbound interface of the telecom operator's NMS. After the planning system of the NMS
completes network planning, the planning system generates incremental configuration
scripts in XML format. The CME imports the XML files to complete data configuration.
After data configuration is completed, the CME exports configuration data files (in MML or
XML format) for each NE. You can use the script executor provided by the CME to remotely
send the configuration data files to each NE through the U2000 and activate them to remotely
perform centralized data configuration for network deployment. You can also use the northbound
interface to send a request to the CME to activate configuration data scripts for NEs.
Network Adjustment
You need to adjust hardware resources if services are not distributed evenly in a network.
Unevenly distributed services are caused by unevenly distributed resources. The network
adjustment function addresses this problem. Network adjustment involves increasing or
decreasing network capacity and reconstructing networks. Typical scenarios are as follows:
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

14
SingleRAN
3 Structure
Device capacity expansion: For example, add a service processing board or interface board
for an existing controller or base station.
Transmission capacity expansion: For example, add an inverse multiplexing over ATM
(IMA) link to an IMA group for an existing base station, or adjust the bandwidth of a
transmission link.
Cell or carrier capacity expansion: For example, change the configuration of NodeB from
3 x 1 to 3 x 2.
Transmission reconstruction or adjustment: For example, change ATM to ATM/IP dual

stack for an Iub interface and reconfigure NodeB in an RNC pool from dual homing to
single homing.
The CME provides multiple configuration wizards or one-click configuration for the preceding
typical scenarios. Prepare the data of planning that you have adjusted in an Excel template and
import the data to the planned data area by using the CME configuration wizard. The CME can
export incremental configuration scripts in appropriate format for NEs.
NOTE
Some scripts take effect only when services in the live network are interrupted or a base station is reset.
When this occurs, the CME displays a message before sending scripts. If scripts take effect only when a
base station is reset, the CME automatically triggers a base station reset after sending the scripts
successfully.
Base Station Migration

During site network operation, you need to migrate base stations in the case of network planning,
load balancing, and capacity expansion. Base station migration is a complex network adjustment
task.
The typical scenario for reparenting base station between controllers is as follows: If areas
managed by controllers are unevenly planned or the load is unbalanced, you need to replan base
stations managed by each controller and reparent some base stations managed by a controller to
another controller. By using this method, the network load is balanced. The CME supports the
ability to reparent base stations between two controllers that support the same version.
To ensure that configuration data is smoothly migrated with a base station and that the network
performance remains unchanged, perform the following operations during migration:
1.
Data planning
Plan the transmission configuration data for migration. Prepare cell-related data if you
reparent base stations between controllers and fill in a data planning file according to
planned data.
2.
Script preparation
Import the data planning file that you have finished by using the CME migration wizard.
This wizard is used to perform the following operations:
Smoothly migrate the data for base stations from source controllers to destination
controllers.
Recreate the transmission-layer data for destination controllers. The data comes from
planned data.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

15
SingleRAN
3 Structure
Smoothly migrate the cell data from source controllers to destination controllers. Some
data comes from planned data based on site requirements, for example, location area
adjustment.
Smoothly migrate neighbor relationships. The neighbor relationship data before migration
must be inherited. This is a complex operation that must be performed on the entire network.
The network sometimes consists of 2G and 3G devices.
After the data is configured, the CME exports configuration data files (in MML or XML format)
for each NE. You can use the script executor provided by the CME to remotely send and activate
the configuration data files to each NE through the U2000.
NOTE
You are advised to activate the reparenting scripts on the destination controller first. After the
commissioning is successful, activate the reparenting scripts on the source controller. This ensures that the
data is restored quickly when a fault occurs during the reparenting.
Network Optimization
You need to adjust and optimize the current network parameters so that the network can provide
better network services. Network optimization is applicable to radio-layer parameter adjustment.
This is the difference between network optimization and network adjustment. The CME supports
the following typical tasks related to network optimization:
l
Adjust frequencies or scrambling codes for cells in batches.
Adjust data for neighboring cells or their booster amplifiers (BAs) in batches.
Adjust algorithm parameters for cells, carriers, and channels in batches.
Change configurations for some features. For example, reconstruct a cell that uses high
speed packet access (HSPA), and change telecom operators of cells from exclusive to
multioperator core network (MOCN).
The CME provides the following methods to configure data in batches:

l
Importing data from data planning files

Export a summary data file from the CME, reconfigure the data in the file, and import the
file into the CME to quickly adjust data in batches. This method is applicable when you
need to configure different values for multiple objects. The CME provides multiple data
planning files for different network optimization tasks.
Modifying data in batches by using the wizard

Select some or all of the configuration parameters for an object as a reference and apply
these parameters to another object. This method is applicable when you need to configure
parameters to the same values for a single type of objects.
Configuring data by using templates

Select some or all of the configuration parameters in a template as reference and apply these
parameters to the NEs on the CME. This improves data reconfiguration efficiency. This
method is applicable when you need to configure different values for different types of
objects.
Reconfiguring data for some service features

The CME provides a configuration wizard that supports one-click configuration for an
object.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

16
SingleRAN
3 Structure
Importing data from XML files through the northbound interface

This method is applicable after the CME is connected to the 3GPP R9-compliant NBI of
the telecom operator's NMS.
After the data is configured, the CME exports configuration data files (in MML or XML format)
for each NE. You can use the script executor provided by the CME to remotely send and activate
the configuration data files to each NE through the U2000.
Configuration Parameter Management

Configuration parameter management allows you to browse, check, and analyze configuration
data on the CME. For example, compare data and create a data report. This function does not
affect ongoing services because it does not modify data and apply configuration settings to NEs.
Configuration parameter management supports the following functions:
l
Global data check

The network has a large amount of data and the correlations between configuration objects
are complex. The CME checks the integrity, redundancy, and consistency of configuration
data on the CME. If there is an error, an error report is generated. In addition, the CME
automatically recovers certain data according to check results to ensure valid data
configuration.
Radio-layer algorithm parameter comparison

During the initial phase of network construction, algorithm parameters use the default
baseline data of the system. During network maintenance and optimization, you can modify
certain algorithm parameters according to network performance. You can compare the
actual values of the algorithm parameters for the current controller or cell with the default
values or configuration baseline data through the CME. The CME highlights the added,
modified, and deleted configuration data. This facilitates subsequent optimization and
reconfiguration.
To help you quickly select the parameters to be compared, the CME provides default
parameter sets (parameter filters) according to different NEs and versions. Select the filter
and you can quickly filter out your required parameter list. You can also customize
parameter filters.
Panoramic data browsing

The data browsing and searching functions help you effectively locate required information
and prepare for the next step in planning and adjustment. The CME allows you to browse
panoramic data and search for data. You can browse the configuration information for
different objects. For example, the port usage of each interface board, or the number of
neighbor relationships configured for each cell. You can also define search criteria to search
for required objects.
Parameter auditing
The CME allows you to compare NE configuration parameters at different time to learn
configuration data changes during this period. It also allows you to export NE configuration
parameters at a specified time.
Report configuration
The CME provides configuration reports for various scenarios during network
maintenance. You can view data of multiple NEs of different versions on the live network
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

17

by using configuration reports. You can also use configuration reports to collect statistics
on the entire network. Configuration reports can be saved in multiple formats.
