1. The initial configuration ........................................................................3
After the base station is powered on, data configuration is required for the base station so as to
access the user and provide the user with voice and data services.The configuration process of the
base station is shown in figure 11.Figure 11. Configuration process-
Base station Ethernet interface includes LAN interface and WAN interface.
LAN port is usually connected with local area network, which is used for the user to log into the base
station in the local network and directly configure or maintain the base station.
WAN port is usually used for data transmission between base station and operator's core network.
Before the configuration of the base station, data planning is required. Configuration data includes
local parameters and docking parameters, which shall be determined after consensus with the
customer according to the actual deployment situation, including transmission network address,
wireless parameters, software version, etc.
If you need to configure the cell quickly, please refer to "1.3 quick configuration".

3.2.2.1 Manually configure LTE neighbors
1. The base station handover decision mainly uses the following events:
A1 event: indicates that the signal quality of the service community is higher than a certain
threshold. When UE reports this event, the base station stops the measurement of different
frequency/different system;
A2 event: indicates that the signal quality of the service community is below a certain threshold.
When UE reports this event, the base station starts the measurement of different frequency/different
system.
A3 event: indicates that the quality of the same frequency/different frequency neighborhood is higher
than that of the service community. When UE reports this event, the base station initiates the same
frequency/different frequency switching request.
B1 event: indicates that the quality of the neighboring area of the different system is higher than a
certain threshold. When UE reports this event, the base station starts the eSRVCC switching
request based on the uplinking service quality.
B2 event: it means that the quality of the service community is below a certain threshold and the
quality of the neighboring area of the different system is above a certain threshold. When UE reports
this event, the base station initiates the overcover-based eSRVCC switching request.

1. The base station starts the different frequency/different system measurement triggered by A2
events. As shown in the figure, there are 11 groups of configurations of A2 events, and the ones to
be concerned are 1 to 7, which are respectively used in different scenarios:Error: Reference source
not found
A2MeasureCtrl.1: measurement of different frequencies
A2MeasureCtrl.2: 3G measurement (with LTE data service)
A2MeasureCtrl 3: 2G measurement (with LTE data service)
Blind A2MeasureCtrl. 4:3 g
Blind A2MeasureCtrl. 5:2 g
A2MeasureCtrl 6: 3G measurement (with LTE voice service)
A2MeasureCtrl 7: 2G measurement (with LTE voice service)
2. The trigger condition of A3 is: where Mn and Mp are the measurement results of UE on adjacent
area and main area respectively, Ofn and Ofp are frequency offset of adjacent area and main area
respectively (default is 0), Ocn and Ocp are offset of adjacent area and main area respectively
(default is 0), Off is A3Offset, Hys is Hysteresis. Mn+Ofn +Ocn − Hys>Mp+Ofp+Ocp+Off
Therefore, when the measurement results of UE on the adjacent area are larger than A3Offset +
Hysteresis when compared with the main plot (both are actual values after conversion, as shown in
FIG. 251, 4*0.5+2*0.5=3dB) and the maintenance time is longer than TimeToTrigger, A3 events will
be triggered and report continuously with ReportInterval as interval.Error: Reference source not

1. The eSRVCC switch based on upline service quality is triggered by event B1, as shown in figure
321. There are 4 sets of B1 configurations for different purposes. The eSRVCC switch based on
upline service quality is triggered by B1MeasureCtrl.Error: Reference source not found

2. When the service quality of VoLTE falls below the threshold, the base station issues measurement
and control based on B1MeasureCtrl 4 event to GSM adjacent area.This function is turned off by
default and needs to be enabled by SrvccUlQosEnable, as shown in figure 322.Error: Reference

3. After receiving the B1MeasureCtrl.4 measurement report, the base station triggers eSRVCC based
on uplink service quality.B1 is the trigger formula, where Mn is the measurement result of GSM
neighborhood, Ofn is the frequency deviation of GSM (default: 0), Thresh is B1ThresholdGERAN,
Hys is Hysteresis, so when UE's measurement result of GSM neighborhood is larger than
B1ThresholdGERAN+ Hysteresis (both are actual values after conversion, as shown in figure 256,
20-110+2*0.5= -89dbm), and the retention time is greater than TimeToTrigger.
Mn+Ofn − Hys>Thresh Error: Reference source not foundThe B1 event will be triggered and will
be reported continuously at ReportInterval.Table 316 B1 event configuration instructions-
Note: eNB shall correctly configure the measurement of A2 with different systems for
UE (when the RSRP of the terminal downlink is at a good level, the reporting of A2 with
different systems will not be triggered, but at this time, the service quality of VoLTE is below
the threshold, and the measurement and control of B1 events will be triggered).
If UE does not support VoLTE, or USIM does not turn on VoLTE function, or LTE cell signal is very poor,
then it will fall back to 2G when receiving calls.In this case, the base station releases the phone and
carries redirectedCarrierInfo on the RRCConnectionRelease to indicate UE back down to 2G.There are
two sources of GSM frequency points configured when falling back:
