Huawei H35-580_V2.0 HCIA-5G-RNP&RNO V2.0 Exam Practice Test

According to the NR-ARFCN (NR absolute radio frequency channel number), the NR-ARFCN value consists of two components: the band indicator and the channel number. The band indicator represents the frequency band on which the carrier frequency lies, while the channel number represents the specific carrier frequency within that band. The NR-ARFCN value is calculated by the following formula:

NR-ARFCN = FREF-Offs + NREF-Offs + ΔFGlobal * (Fcarrier - FREF-Offs) / AFGIobal

where FREF-Offs is the reference frequency offset, NREF-Offs is the reference NR-ARFCN offset, ΔFGlobal is the global frequency raster, Fcarrier is the carrier frequency, and AFGIobal is the absolute frequency granularity.

Given that AFGIobal is 15 kHz, FREF-Offs is 3000 MHz, and NREF-Offs is 600000, we can plug in these values and Fcarrier = 3300 MHz into the formula and get:

NR-ARFCN = 3000 + 600000 + 5 * (3300 - 3000) / 0.015 NR-ARFCN = 633000

Therefore, the correct answer is A.

According to the HCIA-5G V2.0 Exam Outline, SDAP is a new protocol layer added to the 5G air interface protocol stack compared with 4G. SDAP stands for Service Data Adaptation Protocol, and it is used to map QoS flows to data radio bearers and perform header compression and decompression.

According to the HCIA-5G V2.0 Exam Outline, no response from the UE, insufficient radio resources, and unauthorized UE are cause values of QoS flow setup failures, which correspond to options A, B, and D. Insufficient transmission resources is not a cause value of QoS flow setup failures, but a cause value of handover execution failures, which corresponds to option C.

According to the 5G-GUTI - 5G Globally Unique Temporary Identity, the NAS layer uses 5G-GUTI to replace IMSI as the temporary ID of a UE for security reasons. The 5G-GUTI is allocated by the AMF (Core Access and Mobility Management Function) at the time of network registration, and it is composed of the GUAMI (Globally Unique AMF ID) and the 5G-TMSI (5G Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity).

According to the Probe User Guide (V100R019C10_01) (PDF)-EN, the Probe’s BLER statistics menu provides the following statistics:

• DIBLER: Downlink Initial Block Error Rate, which is the ratio of the number of erroneous downlink transport blocks to the total number of downlink transport blocks received by the UE in the first transmission.
• DRBLER: Downlink Residual Block Error Rate, which is the ratio of the number of erroneous downlink transport blocks to the total number of downlink transport blocks received by the UE after all retransmissions.
• Retransmission ratio: The ratio of the number of retransmitted downlink transport blocks to the total number of downlink transport blocks received by the UE.

The Probe’s BLER statistics menu does not provide the modulation scheme as a statistic. The modulation scheme is a parameter that determines the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) used for data transmission on the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The modulation scheme can be QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, or 256QAM. The modulation scheme can be displayed on the Probe’s PDSCH configuration menu or PDSCH demodulation menu.

Therefore, the correct answer is A, B, and D.

According to the Hardware Description: Bbu5900 V100r013c10, these statements are correct about the space principles for 5G BBU installation:

• If the installation space is insufficient, the BBU can be installed on a wall. Ensure that the wall meets the load bearing requirements: The BBU can be installed on a wall using wall-mounted brackets. The wall must be able to bear at least four times the weight of the BBU and must be flat and vertical. The installation height of the BBU must not exceed 2 m.
• If the space is greater than 600 mm, a cabinet can be added to install the BBU: The BBU can be installed in a cabinet that meets the requirements of Huawei base stations. The cabinet must have a width of 19 inches and a depth of at least 600 mm. The cabinet must also provide sufficient ventilation, grounding, and lightning protection for the BBU.
• If the remaining space of an existing cabinet is greater than 4 U, the BBU can be installed directly: The BBU can be installed in an existing cabinet that has enough space for it. The BBU has a height of 2 U, so it requires at least 4 U of space in a cabinet. The existing cabinet must also meet the requirements of Huawei base stations.

The other statement is incorrect about the space principles for 5G BBU installation:

• If the installation space is insufficient, install 5G boards directly into the existing 4G B8U: This statement is not supported by Huawei base stations. The 5G boards cannot be installed directly into the existing 4G B8U because they have different slot distributions and board types. The 5G boards can only be installed in a BBU5900 subrack that supports both LTE and NR modes.

 According to the Hardware Description: Bbu5900 V100r013c10, the slot distribution in BBU5900 is not the same as that in BBU3910. The BBU5900 has 11 slots, while the BBU3910 has 12 slots. The slot distribution in BBU5900 is as follows:

According to the HCIA-5G V2.0 Exam Outline, the 3.5 GHz+2.1 GHz uplink and downlink decoupling/super uplink architecture uses spectrum sharing technologies such as Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) and Spectrum Sharing (SS) to enable 3.5 GHz NR and 2.1 GHz LTE to share only the uplink spectrums, while the downlink spectrums are used exclusively by each technology.

According to the 5G NR Protocol Structure Changes - An Overview, the PCFICH and PHICH channels have been deleted from the physical layer in 5G compared with LTE, because they are no longer needed due to the flexible frame structure and numerology of 5G NR.

According to the 5G SA Cell Search & Network Entry Matrix, the first step for a UE to perform a cell search in SA networking is to synchronize frames and obtain PCI group number. This step involves the following sub-steps:

• The UE scans the available frequency range to detect the presence of Synchronization Signal Blocks (SSBs) from different base stations. SSBs are periodic signals that contain essential synchronization and system information for cell search and initial access.
• The UE selects an SSB with the strongest signal strength and decodes its Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS). The PSS and SSS are part of the SSB and provide coarse timing synchronization and cell identity information.
• The UE uses the PSS and SSS information to synchronize its internal clock with that of the base station and obtain the Physical Cell Identity (PCI) group number. The PCI group number is a 9-bit value that identifies a group of 8 cells that share the same PSS and SSS sequences. The PCI group number ranges from 0 to 1007.

The other steps for a UE to perform a cell search in SA networking are:

• Synchronize half-frames and obtain the ID within a PCI group: The UE further synchronizes its timing with the base station by decoding its Narrowband Synchronization Signal (NSSS), which is also part of the SSB. The NSSS provides more precise timing information and the ID within a PCI group, which is a 3-bit value that identifies a specific cell within a PCI group. The ID within a PCI group ranges from 0 to 7. By combining the PCI group number and the ID within a PCI group, the UE can obtain the full PCI, which is a 10-bit value that uniquely identifies a cell.
• Obtain other cell information: The UE decodes other signals and channels in the SSB to acquire other cell information, such as system bandwidth, subcarrier spacing, frame structure, etc. These signals and channels include Demodulation Reference Signals (DMRS), Master Information Block (MIB), System Information Block (SIB), etc.
• Obtain the cell signal quality: The UE measures the cell signal quality based on various indicators, such as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR), etc. These indicators reflect the strength, quality, and interference level of the received signal.

According to the 5G Site Survey Guide (V1.0) (PDF)-EN, the engineering file is not a material that needs to be prepared before site survey. The engineering file is a document that records the site survey results and the design plan for the site. The engineering file is generated after the site survey is completed and approved by the customer. The materials that need to be prepared before site survey are:

• Local map: A map of the area where the site is located, showing the roads, buildings, landmarks, and other features. The local map helps the site survey team to plan the route, identify the site location, and evaluate the surrounding environment.
• Site survey table: A table that lists the items and parameters that need to be checked and measured during the site survey, such as antenna installation space, equipment room space and load bearing capacity, power supply, grounding, lightning protection, cable routing, etc. The site survey table helps the site survey team to conduct a comprehensive and systematic inspection of the site conditions and record the data.
• 5G antenna height table: A table that shows the recommended antenna height for different scenarios and frequency bands based on empirical data and theoretical calculations. The 5G antenna height table helps the site survey team to determine the optimal antenna installation height for achieving the best coverage and performance.

Therefore, the correct answer is D.

According to the 5G NR Physical Layer Specifications, Paging, SIB, and MIB are common messages that need to be scheduled. Paging is a message that is used to notify a UE of incoming data or system information when it is in idle mode or connected mode inactive state. SIB stands for System Information Block, which is a message that contains various system parameters and configuration information for UEs. MIB stands for Master Information Block, which is a message that contains essential system information such as system frame number and subcarrier spacing. These common messages need to be scheduled because they are transmitted periodically and have fixed time-frequency resources.

According to the eCPRI Specification V2, eCPRI links have the following characteristics:

• They require clock synchronization: eCPRI links use Ethernet as the transport layer, which does not provide inherent synchronization. Therefore, eCPRI links require external clock synchronization methods, such as IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) or Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE).
• They are based on the IP mechanism: eCPRI links use IP as the network layer, which provides routing and addressing functions for eCPRI messages. eCPRI links can use either IPv4 or IPv6 protocols.
• They require AAU support: eCPRI links connect between Radio Equipment Control (REC) and Radio Equipment (RE) in a base station. AAU (Active Antenna Unit) is a type of RE that integrates RF and antenna functions in one unit. Therefore, eCPRI links require AAU support to enable flexible functional split options and reduce fronthaul bandwidth requirements.

eCPRI links are not based on the TDM mechanism because they do not use fixed time slots to transmit data. Instead, they use variable-length packets to transmit data according to different service requirements.

According to the HCIA-5G V2.0 Exam Outline, the statements in options A, B, and C are correct descriptions of throughput-related indicators, which correspond to options A, B, and C. The statement in option D is incorrect because adding the last small packet of each data transmission burst and its transmission duration will reduce the accuracy of throughput measurement.

According to the HCIA-5G V2.0 Exam Outline, user capacity usage is an NR system indicator that is at the base station level, which corresponds to option C. It reflects the number of users that can be served by a base station. PRB usage, PDCCH resource usage, and paging resource usage are NR system indicators that are at the cell level, which correspond to options A, B, and D. They reflect the utilization of physical resources in a cell.

 According to the Huawei Career Certification Learning, 5G can meet service requirements in scenarios with a mobility speed of up to 500 km/h, which is much higher than the 4G limit of 350 km/h.

According to the HCIA-5G - Huawei Enterprise Support Community, overlapping coverage is likely to occur in areas such as inside a tunnel, crossroads in dense urban areas, and high-rise buildings, which correspond to options A, B, and C. These areas have complex propagation environments and multiple paths for signals to reach the UE. Around areas with water, overlapping coverage is unlikely to occur because water can reflect signals and reduce interference from other cells, which corresponds to option D.

In order to achieve ideal coverage, there should be a clearance zone around an antenna of at least d, where d is the Fraunhofer or Rayleigh distance at which the near/far-field transition zone exists 17. This distance depends on the largest dimension of the antenna, D, and the operating wavelength, \uF06C. Ideally, D should be at least a half of a wavelength, which gives a minimum clearance zone of a half-wavelength. For example, at 2.4 GHz, the wavelength is about 0.125 m, so the minimum clearance zone is about 0.0625 m. However, in practical situations, this clearance zone is often compromised and the effects must be determined through simulation or empirical measurement 18. A general guideline is to have a clearance zone of 5-10 m around an antenna to avoid significant degradation of performance 19. Therefore, the best answer is C.
