Product Overview 2.1. Introduction The goRAN LTE Base Station is an innovative and cost-effective solution for creating a private LTE (pLTE) IoT network. The solution utilizes NB-IoT technology in the 700MHz Upper A Block, which is standardized by 3GPP for NB-IoT and designated as LTE Band 103. Offering a flexible cellular approach to low-power, long-range networks, the goRAN LTE Base Station provides a solution-in-a-box for building an LTE network either utilizing a users specified core network or one built into goRAN directly. Supporting bidirectional wireless communication for both stationary and mobile IoT devices, the goRAN LTE Base Station is the ideal solution for remote data collection, monitoring and management of IoT devices. With a Linux operating system to allow for easy plug-and-play operation and connection to the cloud via either Power over Ethernet (PoE) or LTE backhaul, the goRAN LTE Base Station combines affordability with the scalability, spectral efficiency and security brought by NB-IoT technology. By leveraging both LTE Band 103 spectrum and the advantages of NB-IoT such as long range, carrier-grade security and improved propagation, the goRAN LTE Base Station allows users to establish cost-effective, resilient and future-proof private LTE networks. Figure 2.1: goRAN LTE Base Station 2.2. Modules & Interfaces The items listed in Table 2.2-1 are included as standard options for the goRAN LTE Base Station.

Deployment 3.1. Architecture The goRAN LTE Base Station can be configured to operate with the eNB (evolved NodeB) and built-in EPC (Evolved Packet Core) or with the eNB and external EPC. The first option allows customers to easily deploy the entire LTE network with just one goRAN unit. Customers need to establish a connection from the goRAN LTE Base Station to the Application Server. Figure 3.1-1 illustrates the architecture of the goRAN LTE Base Station with a built-in EPC. Figure 3.1-1: goRAN LTE Base Station with built-in EPC Configuration with an external EPC is used to deploy a network with multiple base stations to extend the service area. In this scenario, each goRAN LTE Base Station connects to the EPC using the standard S1 interface, as shown in Figure 3.1-2. Figure 3.1-2: goRAN LTE Base Station and external EPC v.1.0 b103 10 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual 3.2. Deployment Scenarios The goRAN LTE Base Station can be deployed as a private network by a customer, as shown in Figure 3.2-1. the built-in EPC is utilized, and SIMs are provisioned on the goRAN HSS (Home Subscriber Service). The goRAN LTE Base Station performs the function of authenticating the UEs in the network. In this configuration, Figure 3.2-1: goRAN LTE Base Station Network deployed as a private network In scenarios aimed at extending the range of an existing RAN (Radio Access Network), the goRAN LTE Base Station can be deployed, as shown in Figure 3.2-2. The goRAN LTE Base Station serves as an eNB and interfaces with the EPC within the customer's network. In this configuration, the goRAN LTE Base Station does not handle UEs authentication; instead, the SIMs are provisioned on the HSS of the external EPC. Figure 3.2-2: goRAN LTE Base Station deployed as an eNB to extend a customer's network v.1.0 b103 11 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual Additionally, the goRAN LTE Base Station can be deployed as a private network with a built-in EPC and connected to an external HSS using the S6a interface, as shown in Figure 3.2-3. This setup is suitable for extending the range of an MNO (Mobile Network Operator) network and can also be employed when utilizing the HSS of a SIM provider, which might be deployed in the cloud. In this case, the goRAN LTE Base Station doesn't handle UEs authentication, and SIMs are provisioned on the operator's HSS or the HSS of the SIM provider. Figure 3.2-3: goRAN LTE Base Station deployed as a private network with a connection to the HSS of the MNO or SIM provider 3.3. Multiple Deployments Depending on the coverage area size and the business requirements, deploying a network of multiple base stations, similar to how mobile operators establish public networks with numerous base stations and a centralized EPC, might be essential. Leveraging the scalability offered by the 3GPP standards, the goRAN LTE Base Station can create networks of varying scales. In multiple deployments, each goRAN connects to a central EPC through a standard S1 interface, and the internal EPC of the goRAN units is inactive. For this network configuration, deploying a dedicated EPC, either on-premises or in the cloud, is crucial. This setup accommodates networks ranging from two to several hundred goRAN units, providing customers with adaptability and scalability. Additional base stations can be seamlessly integrated into the existing network after the initial deployment of the goRAN network with a single external EPC. v.1.0 b103 12 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual There are two network configuration options available for goRAN backhaul interfaces. The first configuration employs Ethernet connectivity, allowing all goRAN units to establish connections and communicate with the EPC via the local network infrastructure. The second configuration utilizes LTE Cat 1 backhaul interfaces for seamless connectivity between goRAN units and the EPC. When goRAN is configured to use the LTE Cat 1 backhaul interface, data from goRAN is transmitted to the mobile operator's network. The network then forwards the data to the customer's endpoint, typically employing a dedicated APN (Access Point Name) and secure communication channels. interface options are displayed. In Figure 3.3, both backhaul Figure 3.3: Backhaul options for multiple deployments of goRAN LTE Base Stations v.1.0 b103 13 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual 4. Data security The goRAN LTE Base Station provides a high data security standard that is defined by LTE design. LTE is the only mature wireless technology to enable protection of session set-up and administration signals (control plane) separately from the data payload itself (user plane). Through its Authentication and Key Agreement protocol, LTE secures control plane communications independently from user plane data. LTE includes cryptographic protections for control plane communications between the device and three different network elements to prevent attackers from spoofing devices and/or network elements to compromise the system. To protect control plane communications between the device and the HSS (Home Subscriber Server), LTE uses an application called USIM that typically runs on the UICC
(Universal Integrated Circuit Card). Through USIM, LTE supports the authentication of the user to the device as well as authentication of the device to the HSS, which manages customer information and authorizes the devices access to the network. The MME (Mobile Management Entity) is also a core network element; it manages device mobility on the network. Using a feature called NAS (Non-Access Stratum) security, LTE verifies, encrypts, and protects the integrity of control plane signaling between the device and the MME separately from other interfaces. For protection of the devices control plane communications with the radio network, LTE employs AS (Access Stratum) security, which provides verification and integrity protection as well as encryption for control plane signaling between the device and the base station. LTE provides enhanced security measures to protect the user data contained in the payload of the communication. For the user plane, LTE utilizes integrity verification and encryption of data sent between the device and the core network. The Figure 4 shows described security levels. Figure 4: Data security levels v.1.0 b103 14 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual NB-IoT devices provide an additional layer of security, due to their strict adherence to 3GPP specifications, the high security level industry standard, and the highly competitive market they are produced in. Such devices are typically designed with built-in security features, such as secure access, secure boot and firmware updates, to help prevent unauthorized access and tampering. Supported by major mobile equipment, chipset and module manufacturers, private LTE networks benefit from all the security features of 3GPP standards, such as support for user and device authentication, data encryption, data integrity verification and mobile equipment protection. v.1.0 b103 15 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual 5.

The goRAN LTE Base Station is configured during manufacturing, including parameters such as radio frequency and output power, in compliance with regulations specific to the territory where the base station is deployed. This pre-configured setup eliminates the need for additional configuration. However, this User Manual outlines the possibility of adjusting a wide range of technical parameters based on the hardware and software capabilities. It's important to note that not all parameters may be adjustable by the user, depending on the specific configuration limitations. An exception to this might be the goRAN LTE Base Station provided for In any case, users must adhere to regional regulatory requirements during the configuration process. For further information, please contact Ubiik Support. testing purposes. A user will have received login details for the BSMS with their goRAN LTE Base Station package or via email after their purchase. After navigating to https://bsms.ubiik.com/, the user should be presented with a login screen as shown in Figure 7.1. Figure 7.1: BSMS login portal v.1.0 b103 25 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual 7.2. Base Station 7.2.1. eNodeB One of the primary features of the goRAN LTE Base Station is its eNodeB functionality, which essentially comprises RAN (Radio Access Network) operations. BSMS enables the configuration of each specific base station in the network, provides information about all base stations within the customers network, and includes a firmware upgrade tool, as detailed in the following section. Figure 7.2.1-1: eNodeB Configuration page v.1.0 b103 26 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual The Configuration page allows for the simple configuration of parameters related to three main types: RF parameters, network parameters, and basic EPC settings. These parameters can be set by selecting the serial numbers of the goRAN LTE Base Station, retrieving the configuration from the BSMS database, applying the changes to the database, and subsequently to the goRAN LTE Base Station itself. To change the parameters, the user selects the SN (Serial Number) of the goRAN LTE Base Station and retrieves the parameters to populate the GUI. Then the user can proceed to alter the RF and network parameters, and also choose the EPC mode, setting it to built-in EPC or external EPC. Figure 7.2.1-1 illustrates an example of the Configuration page settings. The figures below illustrate the BSMS interface with a brief explanation of the meaning of all the parameters. Note that depending on the specific goRAN LTE Base Station factory hardware configuration, some sub-options within a given parameter may or may not be accessible. The eNB name can be changed to a specific name for user convenience, particularly in scenarios of multiple deployments when numerous goRAN LTE Base Stations are managed under a single BSMS account. Figure 7.2.1-2 shows the RF parameters. Band can be changed by users only for specific factory hardware configurations. Figure 7.2.1-2: RF parameters Coverage Level can be further used to provide coverage enhancement. To enable three coverage levels (1, 2 and 3) users should choose option 3. As shown on Figure 7.2.1-4, users can choose eNodeB PPS Sync Source. There are two sources of synchronization available: Internal and GPS. Note that GPS synchronization source should be chosen only in cases where antenna placement has been properly considered to allow for GPS signal access. Overwise, proper Base Station operation may not be guaranteed. Figure 7.2.1-4: Synchronization source options v.1.0 b103 27 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual The user can also manually set up EARFCN values, for their chosen band, as shown in Figure 7.2.1-5. Depending on the goRAN LTE Base Stations factory hardware capabilities, the user may choose to operate in either Standard Duplex or Non-Standard Duplex mode. Setting up Standard Duplex only requires setup of the DL EARFCN parameter. The second parameter, UL EARFCN, is set automatically to match standard LTE band settings. In the case of Non-Standard Duplex, users must set up both, DL EARFCN and UL EARFCN, parameters. The frequency values for the users chosen EARFCN are shown below the text fields to help double check user selections. Figure 7.2.1-5: EARFCN configuration for Standard Duplex The user can set the UE Max. power (dBm), which allows for limiting the maximum power of the devices if needed for specific IoT use cases. By default, the value is set in accordance with UE's power class 3 as specified by 3GPP, which is 23 dBm. The user can adjust the base station's transmitter, which is configured in the Tx power (dBm) field. As shown in Figure 7.2.1-6, the value can range from
-30 to 30 dBm. It's important to note that the Tx power may be subject to regulatory limits. For detailed information about a specific user base station, please contact Ubiik Support. the output power of Figure 7.2.1-6: UE Max. power and Tx power In Figure 7.2.1-7 below, eNodeB parameters are shown. TAC (Tracking Area Code) provides a location code within a given network. eNodeB ID, Cell ID and PCI are identifiers for each eNodeB within the network. v.1.0 b103 28 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual Figure 7.2.1-7: eNodeB parameters The user can change the PLMN number (Public Land Mobile Network), which consists of the MCC (Mobile Country Code) and MNC (Mobile Network Code). The option to modify this code is shown in Figure 7.2.1-8. Note that the PLMN forms the first digits of the IMSI number. Figure 7.2.1-8: PLMN number The goRAN LTE Base Station is configured by default to operate with a built-in core. However, there are use cases where the user may prefer to connect the goRAN LTE Base Station to an external EPC instead of using the default internal one. In such cases, the user needs to choose the External option, as shown in Figure 7.2.1-9, and set the EPC option, which includes the MME IP address and GTP IP address. Note that the MME IP address refers to the IP address of the S1 interface on the EPC, while the GTP IP address is the IP address obtained by the goRAN LTE Base Station. Figure 7.2.1-9: Basic EPC settings Once the parameters have been modified, the user can apply them by clicking the Update button as shown in Figure 7.2.1-10. Note that it may take up to 60 seconds for the updated configuration to be received by the goRAN LTE Base Station. v.1.0 b103 29 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual Figure 7.2.1-10: Applying parameters to goRAN LTE Base Station 7.2.2. EPC One more primary feature of the goRAN LTE Base Station is EPC (Evolved Packet Core) functionality. BSMS allows the user to:
Set the network name and PLMN. Configure power-saving features such as PSM and eDRX for UEs. Set up an external HSS (Home Subscriber Server). Configure the PDN (Packet Data Network) settings. Provision the SIM cards. The example of the Configuration page is shown in Figure 7.2.2-1 below. The following the figures illustrate the BSMS interface with a brief explanation of parameters. the meaning of all After entering the SN (Serial Number) of the goRAN LTE Base Station and retrieving the EPC configuration, it is possible to modify the EPC parameters using the options displayed in the figures below. Note that depending on the specific hardware configuration of the goRAN LTE Base Station, certain sub-options within a given parameter may or may not be accessible. Figure 7.2.2-2 shows the network name settings. The Network name serves as a descriptive name for the network and can include a combination of alphanumeric characters, as well as the network operator's brand name or any other identifier chosen by the user. The Network short name, on the other hand, is a shorter version of the network name. The network names, including the Network name and Network short name, serve as additional identifiers to the PLMN identifier and can be displayed on user equipment. v.1.0 b103 30 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual Figure 7.2.2-1: EPC Configuration page v.1.0 b103 31 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual Figure 7.2.2-2: Network Name The user can configure the PLMN number, as depicted in Figure 7.2.2-3. As per the standard, this number should also be set on the EPC and match the number on the eNodeB side. By default, the goRAN LTE Base Station employs the internal eNodeB. However, it's possible to connect an external eNodeB to the built-in goRAN EPC. To do this, the user needs to switch the eNB to External mode and configure the GDP IP address, which corresponds to the IP address of the external eNodeB. Figure 7.2.2-3: PLMN and Built-in/External eNB settings The user can configure specific power-saving features: PSM (Power Saving Mode) and eDRX (Extended Discontinuous Reception), as shown in Figure 7.2.2-4. By default, the features T3412 extended forced, T3324 forced, and EDRX cycle forced are Disabled. This signifies that UEs can determine the timers on their own, and these timers will be accepted by the goRAN LTE Base Station. If the user switches these timers to Enabled, the values of the timers will be defined by the goRAN LTE Base Station, and UEs won't be able to change them. To set the PSM feature, two timers need to be configured. The first one is the T3412 extended forced timer, which determines the duration of the device's sleep mode. The second one is the T3324 forced timer, also known as the active timer, which specifies the duration during which the device remains active and can receive paging and user data from the network. Note that the units to be input in these fields should be in seconds. Figure 7.2.2-4: PSM and eDRX settings To set the eDRX feature, the user needs to configure the EDRX cycle forced timer, which determines the time period after which the device becomes active. Additionally, the user needs v.1.0 b103 32 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual to set the eDRX PTW (Packet Transmission Window) timer, which indicates the duration when the device's receiver is enabled and the device is available for paging and incoming data. The eDRX PTW timer has two options: EDRX PTW NB S1, specifically used for NB-IoT radio technology, and EDRX PTW WB S1, specifically used for LTE-M radio technology. The values to be entered in these fields are the numbers of the timers, as specified in 3GPP TS 24.008 Table 10.5.5.32. Note that the PSM and eDRX features are not applicable. for LTE Cat-1 configuration, The user has the option to configure the setup with an external HSS. In this scenario, the internal goRAN EPC handles the UE authentication procedure with the external HSS. An example of this configuration is illustrated in Figure 7.2.2-5. The HSS IPv4 address represents the IP address of the HSS endpoint. The S6 Bind IPv4 address pertains to the goRAN IP address. The Origin realm and Origin host are additional parameters employed in communications through the S6 interface using the Diameter protocol. Figure 7.2.2-5: External HSS settings The user can modify existing PDNs settings or add a new PDN set, as shown in Figure 7.2.2-6. Each PDN includes a group of parameters such as First IP address, Last IP address, DNS IP address and APN. The UE can choose a specific PDN with a corresponding APN in the network request. For each PDN, there is a specific QoS (Quality of Service) functionality available, which can be enabled by selecting Yes on the right side of the settings bar. QoS includes two parameters: qci (QoS Class Identifier) and Priority level. A detailed description of these parameters is beyond the scope of they allow for flexible and advanced configuration by experienced users. To add a new PDN, the user needs to click on the + button. this document, but v.1.0 b103 33 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual Figure 7.2.2-6: PDNs settings The goRAN LTE Base Station can be shipped with pre-provisioned SIM cards, in which case all assigned SIM cards are automatically added to the internal HSS. However, if the user needs to add new devices to the network, SIM provisioning actions must be performed. Figure 7.2.2-7: SIM parameters As depicted in Figure 7.2.2-7, to add a new SIM, several fields for SIM identifiers and secret keys need to be filled in. Note that SIM parameters and secret keys are essential for identification and encryption purposes, and they should not be made available to third parties. v.1.0 b103 34 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual After making all the necessary updates on the Configuration page, the user should click the Apply button located at the bottom left side of the page to save the new configuration in the BSMS database. Note that it may take up to 60 seconds for the updated configuration to be received by the goRAN LTE Base Station. 7.2.3. OVPN Upload OpenVPN is a virtual private network system that can be employed to establish secure connections through the Internet. BSMS offers users a convenient method for applying OVPN files to the goRAN LTE Base Station. Similar to other pages, the initial step on the OVPN Upload page involves entering the SN in the designated field and clicking on Get. After completing this step, the user can view the existing OVPN file if it was added previously. Subsequently, the user has the option to upload a new OVPN file or replace the existing one, either by clicking or through drag and drop, as depicted in Figure 7.2.3. Note that once the upload is completed, the user should wait for 60 seconds for the settings to be applied. Figure 7.2.3: OVPN file uploading 7.2.4. Task Log The BSMS provides three types of logs: Configuration update logs, OVPN Upload logs, and FOTA logs. Configuration update logs capture changes made to the eNodeB and EPC configurations. OVPN Upload logs record activities related to OVPN file uploads. FOTA logs document events associated with unit firmware upgrades. Configuration This section contains a log of all configuration updates made by users in the eNodeB Configuration and EPC Configuration sections. An example of these logs is shown in Figure 7.2.4-1 below. The log includes the event ID, SN (Serial Number), Type of configuration change v.1.0 b103 35 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual
(eNB or EPC), Start time and Finish time, event State, and User (the user's email address) responsible for the configuration change. The event State can be 'Done' if the configuration is successfully applied or 'Failed'
if the update is unsuccessful. In the case of a 'Failed' event, users can contact Ubiik Support for configuration verification. Note that to access events for a specific unit, users should enter the SN, specify a time period for log retrieval, define the event State, and then click the Search button. Figure 7.2.4-1: Task Log: Configuration OVPN Upload The OVPN Upload page stores records related to updates of the OVPN (OpenVPN) files. The log consists of the same fields as those found in the Configuration section, with the addition of one extra field - Filename, which corresponds to the name of the uploaded OVPN file, as displayed in Figure 7.2.4-2. Figure 7.2.4-2: Task Log: OVPN Upload v.1.0 b103 36 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual FOTA This section comprises logs of events linked to unit firmware upgrades. Similar to the OVPN Upload page, the FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) page includes the Filename field, but in this context, the field pertains to the firmware upgrade file name, as depicted in Figure 7.2.4-3. Figure 7.2.4-3: Task Log: FOTA 7.3. End Device The End Device page is designed for monitoring the status of UEs, which are essentially end devices. This page provides two options for searching:
Search by BS SN (Base Station Serial Number). The user can select a specific goRAN LTE Base Station by its serial number to access information about the UEs provisioned on that particular unit. Search by IMSI. The user can choose an IMSI to retrieve detailed information about a specific UE. For each UE, the user can access the following parameters: IMSI number, IMEI number, Status, Last Update Time (indicating the time of the last UE activity), IP address assigned to the UE, and the APN used by the UE. The UE's Status can be one of the following: Registered, indicating that the UE is currently attached to the goRAN LTE Base Station's EPC, or Unregistered, signifying that the UE is not currently attached to the EPC. Note that the IP address and APN are displayed only for UEs that have activated the PDN. v.1.0 b103 37 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual 8. Admin Config Tool (ACT) software The Admin Config Tool (ACT) is a software deployed on the local network where the goRAN LTE Base Station is located. It offers configuration and status information, enabling users to adjust the eNodeB output power, check the status of devices registered with the goRAN LTE Base Station, and download logs. To access the ACT tool, users can visit www.ubiik.com/downloads. 8.1. Installation The ACT operates using Java with JDK version 17 or higher. Before launching ACT, users should ensure that JDK is present on the operating system. Installation instructions for both Windows and Linux operating systems are provided below. Windows:
1. Download and extract the ZIP file provided at https://www.ubiik.com/downloads for the Admin Config Tool. 2. Open the folder and execute the run.bat file by double clicking. Linux:

Change file permissions for the run.sh shell script for execution: chmod +x run.sh 4. Run the shell script as super user: sudo ./run.sh 8.2. Management Once installed, the ACT provides a way to connect to the IP of a specific goRAN LTE Base Station unit on a user's local network, as shown in Figure 8.2-1. Once connected, three sections are accessible: EPC UEs, Configuration, and Settings. The Configuration page is the first one displayed. Here, the goRAN LTE Base Station can be remotely restarted using the Restart button, as seen in Figure 8.2-2. The Base Station field provides the ID number of the goRAN LTE Base Station, and the ENB Controller Version shows the version of the goRAN LTE Base Station's software. Another information field is ENB MODE, which indicates the current mode (NB-IoT) of the goRAN LTE Base Station. The unit's power level can be adjusted via the ENB TX PWR field. Users can input an integer in dBm, ranging from -68 to 10 or from -68 to 30, depending on the unit's configuration. v.1.0 b103 38 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual Figure 8.2-1: ACT connection to the goRAN LTE Base Station Users can access various parameters related to the operating frequency of the goRAN LTE Base Station. These parameters include LTE BAND, which corresponds to the frequency number according to the 3GPP standard, Bandwidth, UL EARFCN, and DL EARFCN indicating frequency channel numbers, as well as LTE DL FREQ and LTE UL FREQ, denoting frequencies in Hz. Additionally, users can verify the status of S1 and S6 connections using the S1 STATUS and S6 STATUS fields, respectively. This verification is crucial when using configurations with external EPC or external HSS. Figure 8.2-2: Configuration page v.1.0 b103 39 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual The status of the UEs registered to the goRAN LTE Base Station's EPC can be monitored via the EPC UEs page, as shown in Figure 8.2-3. The EPC UEs page displays the UE IMSI and Status for each UE attached to the EPC. The Status shows Registered if the UE is currently attached to the EPC. The status changes to Unregistered if the UE performs the detach procedure. Note that after powering off the UE without performing the detach procedure, the status will remain as Registered until the next TAU procedure is missed by the UE. The TAU period is defined by the goRAN LTE Base Station's settings, typically 30 minutes. Note that other fields are currently under development. Figure 8.2-3: EPC UEs page The user can download the logs from eNodeB and EPC. Figure 8.2-4 demonstrates an example of the Settings page. As a first step, it is needed to click the Select Folder button and select the folder on the local PC for logs downloading. In the second step, the user clicks the Download Logs button which initiates the download process from the goRAN LTE Base Station to the local folder. When accessing the folder, the user will encounter two text files. One of these is the ENB log file, which includes service messages generated by the eNodeB and is related to the RAN (Radio Access Network). This log is particularly useful for troubleshooting at the radio access level, addressing issues like RRC connection-related matters. The second file is the MME log file, containing service messages from the EPC. This log is essential for troubleshooting at a higher level, addressing matters such as attach procedure-related issues. Note that users can contact Ubiik Support for log descriptions. v.1.0 b103 40 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual Figure 8.2-4: Settings page v.1.0 b103 41 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual 9.

Features As a release 14/15 3GPP compliant system, the goRAN LTE Base Stations supported feature list is extensive. However, some key features may be of interest for users. Some of these are presented below. The next sections discuss some key features as shown in Table 9.2 below. Ref Feature 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Power Saving Mode (PSM) Extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX) Coverage Enhancement (CE) Non-Anchor Carrier RLC Unacknowledged Mode Early Data Transmission (EDT) Release Assistance Indication (RAI) NB-IoT / Cat-NB2 Features Data Over NAS (DoNAS) 10 Non-IP Data Delivery (NIDD) Table 9.2: goRAN LTE Base Station Features 1. PSM is designed to help UE conserve battery power. If the device's application turns its radio module off to conserve battery power, the device would subsequently have to reattach to the network when the radio module was turned back on. The cumulative energy consumption of reattaches can become significant over the lifetime of a device. PSM allows the devices to go into sleep mode. As a result, the device can save battery current drain and drop power consumption into the micro-Ampere range by disabling parts of the chipset protocol stack and decreasing device-to-network signaling while remaining registered with the network. 2. eDRX is an extension of an existing LTE feature, which can be used by UE to reduce power consumption. eDRX has been designed for downlink-centric applications that usually receive rather than send data. For such applications, the device wakes up from its momentary slumber and listens to the network at regular intervals for any incoming data. eDRX allows the time interval during which a device is not listening to the network to be greatly extended, thus strongly reducing the power consumption of the device while remaining reachable from the network. Although it does not provide the same level v.1.0 b103 43 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual of power reduction as PSM, eDRX provides a good compromise between device reachability and power consumption. 3. Coverage Enhancement (CE). Some IoT applications require devices to be positioned in areas not readily accessible by radio coverage, such as underground parking garages and in ground pits. Coverage Enhancement feature increases the depth and breadth of radio coverage to enable IoT devices to operate in locations that would otherwise not be possible. This feature increases the power levels of signaling channels together with the ability to repeat transmissions. Repeated transmission improves the ability of receivers to correctly resolve the message sent. LTE-M CE Mode A standard supports CE Levels 0 & 1. This CE feature essentially increases maximum coupling loss by approximately up to +5dB. NB-IoT standard supports 3 CE Levels, and increases the maximum coupling loss (MCL) from 144dB to 164dB: 1. +0dB vs. GSM signal with CE Level 0; 2. up to
+10dB with CE Level 1; 3. up to +20dB with CE Level 2. 4. Non-Anchor Carrier. This feature supports multi-carrier mode, in addition to the anchor carrier, specifically for NB-IoT usage.The carrier for the initial connection setup is called the Anchor carrier and the other carriers are called Non-Anchor carrier. These additional carriers add physical resources to the network enabling a higher density of devices. 5. RLC Unacknowledged Mode (UM). Release 15 introduces support for RLC unacknowledged mode (UM) in addition to the acknowledged mode (AM) and transparent mode (TM), specifically for NB-IoT usage. This reduces the need to send RLC signaling over the air for IoT traffic which may be latency and/or loss tolerant. 6. Early Data Transmission (EDT). This 3GPP Release 15 feature allows an idle mode UE/devices to transmit data in Msg3 of the random-access procedure, carrying between 328 and 1000 bits. After successful reception by base station, the random-access procedure terminates, and the UE does not transition to connected mode. 7. Release Assistance Indication (RAI). When UE has no more data to transmit, they wait for the network to release the connection to enter Idle mode. RAI was introduced in order for the network to release the UE to idle mode quickly to save power. The UE may include RAI in non-access stratum (NAS) signaling to indicate that after that uplink data transmission, no further uplink or downlink data transmission is expected or that only a single downlink data transmission is expected, thus helping the network to decide if the connection can be released. 8. NB-IoT Cat-NB2 Features. Extended transport block sizes (TBS) size: to reduce the time and UE power required to transfer larger messages in more favorable coverage, the range of TBS the NB-IoT UE can support is increased from a maximum of 680 bits DL and 1000 bits UL to 2536 bits on both links. Dual HARQ: UE may optionally have 2 HARQ processes for UL and DL, allowing further peak rate increases, in which case the time spacing between transmissions is reduced. v.1.0 b103 44 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual 9. Data Over NAS (DoNAS). This feature allows the user to transport data via control plane signaling to the MME. That reduces the signaling overhead by approximately half when moving from idle to connected mode which improves network efficiency and UE battery life. This procedure is suited for Non-IP and UDP/IP where only a few packets are sent per connection. 10. Non-IP Data Delivery (NIDD). This feature allows NB-IoT devices to transfer data without adding an IP header or transport header and without the need to operate an IP stack and obtain an IP address. Accordingly, its not required to configure the IP address/port on the UE. From an application perspective, NIDD has the potential to simplify application design by not requiring an IP protocol stack. This simplification may also extend to the application server as it is no longer required to maintain bindings from device identity to IP address/port. Note that it is possible for a device to support connection to the network using both NIDD and IP at the same time. v.1.0 b103 45 goRAN LTE Base Station User Manual Appendix A Terminology abbreviations Abbreviation Description 3GPP ACT APN BPSK BSMS Cat-M1 The 3rd Generation Partnership Project Admin Config.
