Beam Management Overview
Beam management definition
Beam management refers to the management of scanning, reporting, and maintenance of static beams. It
enhances cell coverage and reduces system overhead. The purpose of beam management is to select
appropriate static beams for each channel.
Beamforming and beam management
Beamforming (BF) uses weighting for transmit signals and forms them into narrow beams directed at target UEs
or in other specific directions. If the weighting used for beamforming is preset, beam management is required. If
dynamic weighting is used, beam management is not required. For details about beamforming, see MIMO.

 Scenario-based Broadcast Beams
Users can configure coverage as required based on the details of the live network. The coverage scenario can be configured using the
NRDUCellTrpBeam.CoverageScenario parameter. Setting notes are as follows:
 Generally, it is recommended that this parameter be set to DEFAULT, which is suitable for typical 3-sector networking.
 When significant horizontal coverage is required, SCENARIO_1, SCENARIO_6, or SCENARIO_12 is recommended. With the setting, cell edge UEs can obtain
higher beam gains and cell edge coverage is improved.
 If there are any fixed interference sources at the cell edge, SCENARIO_2, SCENARIO_3, SCENARIO_7, SCENARIO_8, or SCENARIO_13 can be used to
narrow down the horizontal coverage area and avoid the interference.
 When there are only isolated buildings, SCENARIO_4, SCENARIO_5, SCENARIO_9, SCENARIO_10, SCENARIO_11, SCENARIO_14, SCENARIO_15, or
SCENARIO_16 is recommended to provide small horizontal coverage. These scenarios are not suitable for continuous coverage.
 When there are only low-rise buildings, you can set the parameter to a value from SCENARIO_1 to SCENARIO_5.
 When there are mid-rise buildings, you can set the parameter to a value from SCENARIO_6 to SCENARIO_11.
 When there are high-rise buildings, you can set the parameter to a value from SCENARIO_12 to SCENARIO_16.

If the base station needs to cover floors below 30 m (H) and a horizontal scope within 30 m (B), perform the following steps to
calculate the ID of the scenario to be configured:

Step 1: Calculate the vertical Step 2: Calculate the horizontal

scanning scope of the beam. scanning scope of the beam.
If D is 70 m and h is 15 m, C If B is 30 m and D is 70 m, β is

scenarios, the vertical 3 dB SCENARIO_5,
beamwidth in SCENARIO_10, and
SCENARIO_12 to SCENARIO_15 is 25°.
SCENARIO_16 is 25°.
Step 3 Based on the intersection of scenario choices in Step 1 and Step 2, SCENARIO_15 can meet both horizontal and vertical coverage requirements.

Broadcast Beam Tilt and Azimuth
To reduce the difficulty in site selection planning and site optimization and to save optimization and coordination
costs, remote tilt and azimuth adjustment is required. The tilts and azimuths of broadcast channel narrow beams
can be entirely adjusted in the unit of 1°through parameter settings.
In scenarios where the interference from neighboring cells is severe, users can adjust the tilt and azimuth to
make the beams target at UEs in the local cell. This reduces the overshoot coverage in neighboring cells. In
addition, more beam directions can be achieved by adjusting the tilt and azimuth, meeting different coverage
requirements and implementing flexible networking.

is not used.

Copyright © 2019 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 16
Broadcast Beam Tilt and Azimuth
Tilt adjustment is not supported (in scenarios 12 to 16) because the vertical scanning range has reached the
upper limit.
Azimuth adjustment is not supported (in scenarios 0, 1, 6, and 12) because the horizontal scanning range has
reached the upper limit.
The adjustment range is based on the parameter setting. Then, the parameter is substituted into the steering
vector. The steering vector is multiplied by the initial weight matrix to obtain the final steering vector, which is then
sent to the baseband part.
Note: Only the maximum adjustment capability is provided here. In actual situations, when the tilt is adjusted to a
certain degree, the side lobe suppression may not be sufficient. The adjustment range varies according to the
specific requirements.
If the upper side lobe meets the suppression requirement of 12 dB, the preset downtilt (6°) is used as the
reference. For digital RET, the increase range is 8° and the decrease range is 3°.
 The tilt adjustment range in scenarios 1 to 5 (with a vertical 3 dB beamwidth of 6°) is –2°to 9°.
 The tilt adjustment range in scenarios 6 to 11 (with a vertical 3 dB beamwidth of 12°) is 0° to 6°.

Copyright © 2019 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 17
Broadcast Beam Tilt and Azimuth
The method for calculating the actual direction angle of a broadcast beam is as follows:
Actual direction angle of a broadcast beam (vertical) = Value of NRDUCellTrpBeam.Tilt + Mechanical tilt
Default value of NRDUCellTrpBeam.Tilt = Preset tilt (The preset tilts of different AAUs are different.)
That is, the actual direction angle of a broadcast beam is calculated as described in the following table. (The
azimuth is similar, and the default value is 0°.).

The operator has purchased the FOFD-010100 3D Actual direction angle of a broadcast beam = Value of

Note:
1. The direction angle of a broadcast beam does not affect that of a traffic beam. That is, the direction of a traffic beam
envelope or a user-level static beam (SRS/CSI beam) is not affected by NRDUCellTrpBeam.Tilt (except for
AAU5310/AAU5313).
2. If the setting DEFAULT, SCENARIO_1, SCENARIO_6, or SCENARIO_12 is used, horizontal azimuth adjustment is not
supported because the horizontal scanning scope has reached its upper limit.
3. If SCENARIO_12 to SCENARIO_16 are used, tilt adjustment is not supported because the vertical scanning scope has
reached its upper limit. In scenarios where the interference from neighboring cells is severe, tilts and azimuths can be
adjusted to make the beams target users in a local cell. This reduces overshoot coverage in neighboring cells.

Online Scenario-based Beam Adjustment
5G RAN2.1 supports online adjustment of scenario-based beams without cell reestablishment. (For
beam scenario modification in 5G RAN1.0/RAN2.0, cell deactivation is required. As a result, all users
are disconnected from the network.)
When the broadcast beam coverage scenario (specified by NRDUCellTrpBeam.CoverageScenario)
and the broadcast beam densification switch (specified by
NRDUCellTrpBeam.ScenarioBeamAlgoSw) are modified, the following performance losses occur:
 The incoming handover success rate of handover or resynchronized UEs decreases.
 Resynchronized UEs will experience call drops.
 The peak performance deteriorates.
 UEs perform random access again.
The preceding issues are temporary. It is recommended that the interval between two scenario
modifications be longer than 10 minutes.

Beam Management Feature Observation
This feature is enabled by default. You can run LST NRDUCELLTRPBEAM command to query the configured beam scenario and tilt.
Trace the UE and observe the RSRP corresponding to the optimal beam. Then, determine whether the beam scenario takes effect.
For example, if the UE locates at the normal direction of the vertical beam as shown in the following figure, when the H105V6 scenario is
changed to the H45V25 scenario, you can observe that the RSRP reported by the UE after the change is higher than the RSRP reported by
the UE before the change.
The beam ID is also changed from 3 to 1.
