HNB-RN PLMN Configuration Mode Commands

This HNB Radio Network PLMN configuration mode defines the radio network PLMN parameters related to the HNB-GW connection with a UMTS Femto radio network.

IMPORTANT:

The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).

associate cs-network

Associates a preconfigured circuit switched (CS) network within an HNB radio network PLMN with HNB-GW service.

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

HNB-GW


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax 
[ no ] associate
cs-network cs_name [ lac lac]
no

Disassociates/removes the configured CS network with an HNB radio network PLMN.

cs_name

Specifies the name of a preconfigured CS network in Global Configuration mode to be associated with an HNB radio network PLMN.

To configure CS network, refer to the HNB-CS Configuration Mode Commands chapter.

lac lac_id

Defines the granularity level of the circuit switch network to a location area code (LAC) level as an integer from 1 and 65535.


Usage:

Use this command to associate pre-defined CS networks with a radio network PLMN in an HNB-GW service.

The circuit switched network comprises of one or more MSCs, where CS-domain IU-connections shall be routed. In a typical deployment HNB-GW is connected to only one MSC. However due to Iu-flex and networks-sharing requirements, HNB-GW can be connected to more than one MSCs as well.

Another scenario when HNB-GW can be connected to multiple MSCs is when a set of HNBs should be connected to a particular MSC based on their UTRAN location or geographical location.

This command provides configuration to have one or more MSCs such that these are used in load-shared (IuFlex) or network-shared mode. If location based distribution of HNBs to MSCs is desired, more than one circuit switched network configuration will be required.

This configuration allows association of a circuit switched network with a radio network PLMN and granularity can either be at the PLMN level or at the level of a location area (LAC) in that PLMN.

To configure CS network, refer to the HNB-CS Configuration Mode Commands chapter.


Example:
The following command associates a CS network umts1 with radio network PLMN with a granularity of LAC 234:
associate cs-network
umts1 lac 234
associate ps-network

Associates a preconfigured packet switched (PS) network within an HNB radio network PLMN with HNB-GW service.

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

HNB-GW


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax 
[ no ] associate
ps-network ps_name [ lac lac [ rac rac ] ]
no

Disassociates/removes the configured PS network with an HNB radio network PLMN configured in HNB-GW service mode.

ps_name

Specifies the name of a preconfigured PS network to be associated with an HNB radio network PLMN configured in HNB-GW service mode.

To configure the PS network, refer to the HNB PS Configuration Mode Commands chapter.

lac lac_id

Specifies the granularity level of the packet switched network to a location area code (LAC) level as an integer from 1 and 65535.

rac rac_id

Specifies the granularity level of the packet switched network to a radio area code (RAC) level expressed as an integer from 1 and 65535.


Usage:

Use this command to associate pre-defined PS networks with HNB radio network PLMN in an HNB-GW service.

The packet switched network comprises of one or more SGSNs where PS-domain IU-connections shall be routed. In a typical deployment HNB-GW is connected to only one SGSN. However with IuFlex and network-sharing functionality, HNB-GW can be connected to more than one SGSNs as well.

Another scenario when HNB-GW can be connected to multiple SGSNs is when a set of HNBs should be connected to a particular SGSN based on their UTRAN location or geographical location.

This command provides configuration to have one or more to have one or more SGSNs such that these are used in load-shared (iu-flex) or network-shared mode. If location based distribution of HNBs to SGSNs is desired then more than one packet switched network configuration will be required.

This command allows association of a packet switched network with a radio network PLMN and granularity could either be at the PLMN level or at the level of a location area code (LAC) in that PLMN or at the level of a routing area code (RAC) in that LAC.

To configure PS network, refer HNB-PS Configuration Mode Commands chapter.


Example:
The following command associates a PS network umts_ps1 with radio network PLMN with a granularity of LAC 234 and RAC as 123:
associate ps-network
umts_ps1 lac 234 rac 123
end

Exits the current configuration mode and returns to the Exec mode.

Product:

All


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax 
end

Usage:

Use this command to return to the Exec mode.

exit

Exits the current mode and returns to the parent configuration mode.

Product:

All


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax 
exit

Usage:

Use this command to return to the parent configuration mode.

rnc-id

Configures the Radio Network Concentrator (RNC) identifier in a Radio Network PLMN associated with HNB-GW service. The RNC identifier is provided to the HNB during HNB-REGISTRATION.

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

HNB-GW


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax 
[ no ] rnc-id rnc_id [ lac lac_id [ rac rac_id | cell-id cell_id ] ]
no

Deletes the LAC and RAC information from the system configuration.

rnc-id

Specifies the RNC identifier as an integer from 1 through 65535.

lac lac_id

Specifies the granularity for the location of HNB to a location area code (LAC) and configures the RNC ID for all HNBs operating in particular location-area.

lac_id is an integer from 1 through 65535.

rac rac_id

Specifies the granularity level for the location of HNB as a routing area code (RAC) and configures the NC ID for all HNBs operating in particular routing area.

rac_id is an integer from 1 through 65535.

cell-id cell_id

Specifies the granularity for the location of HNB to a UTRAN cell level and configures RNC ID for all HNBs operating in particular UTRAN cell area.

cell_id is an integer from 1 through 65535.


Usage:

Use this command to configure RNC id for Radio Network PLMN which will be sent to HNBs from HNB-GW during HNB-REGISTRATION procedure. Depending upon the requirement the RNC Identifier can be provided at the desired granularity.

When HNB-REGISTRATION request is received the RNC Id is looked up by matching the parameters received in the request. The most specific entry that matches the request shall have the highest priority, for example in the following configuration:
rnc-id 257 lac 1 cell-id
3

rnc-id 258 lac 1 rac
2

rnc-id 259 lac 1

rnc-id 260
  • If the request is received with LAC=1, RAC=2, and Cell-Id=3, the selected RNC id will be 257.
  • If the request is received with LAC=1, RAC=3, and Cell-Id = 3, the selected RNC id will be 258.
  • If the request is received with LAC=1 and any other values of RAC and Cell-id, the selected RNC id will be 259. For all other requests 260 will be returned.

Example:
The following command configures the HNB-GW service to return an RNC identifier as 102 when an HNB-REGISTRATION request is received with LAC 1, and RAC 2:
rnc-id 102 lac 1 rac 2
The following command configures the HNB-GW service to return an RNC identifier as 102 when an HNB-REGISTRATION request is received with LAC 1 and cell-id 4:
rnc-id 102 lac 1 cell-id 5
