H35-580_V2.0 HCIA-5G-RNP&RNO V2.0 Questions and Answers

According to the Troubleshooting Guide for Huawei 5G Base Stations, the possible causes of SCTP link disconnection over the N2 interface are as follows:

• Routes are not configured: If the routes between the base station and the core network are not configured correctly, the SCTP link cannot be established or may be disconnected.
• PLMN configurations are incorrect: If the PLMN configurations on the base station and the core network do not match, the SCTP link cannot be established or may be disconnected.
• Physical ports are faulty: If the physical ports on the base station or the core network are faulty, such as damaged cables, loose connectors, or port errors, the SCTP link cannot be established or may be disconnected.
• The SCTP port configuration is incorrect: If the SCTP port configuration on the base station or the core network is incorrect, such as using a reserved port number or a conflicting port number, the SCTP link cannot be established or may be disconnected.

 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 V2.0 Exam Outline, encryption, decryption, and integrity protection are functions of the PDCP layer, not the RRC layer. The RRC layer is responsible for radio resource management, access control, handover and mobility, among other functions.

According to the HCIA-5G V2.0 Exam Outline, in downlink peak rate testing, the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index must reach 32, which corresponds to option A.

A site survey is an inspection of an area where work is proposed, to gather information for a design or an estimate to complete the initial tasks required for an outdoor activity 1. A site survey can cover various aspects, such as antenna installation space, equipment room space and load bearing capacity, site location, and other environmental factors 2. However, a site survey does not cover the models of hardware boards on base stations, as this information is not related to the physical characteristics of the site. The models of hardware boards on base stations are determined by the network design and configuration, which are based on the network requirements and specifications 3. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

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 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 Huawei’s Latest AAU Products, Huawei’s AAUs have an operating voltage of -48 V DC and support LTE-NR dual-mode on some frequency bands, such as C-band and sub-3 GHz bands. The article also states that Huawei’s new-generation 64T64R AAUs provide higher coverage gains than conventional 32T32R AAUs by using ELAA (extremely large antenna array) technology. Huawei’s AAUs do not support GSM-NR dual-mode on any frequency band, as GSM is not a compatible RAT with NR.

According to the 5G SA Cell Search & Network Entry Matrix, a UE completes frame synchronization after reading the MIB, not the SS. The SS (Synchronization Signal) is used for initial detection and coarse timing synchronization, but it does not provide enough information for frame synchronization. The MIB (Master Information Block) is part of the SSB (Synchronization Signal Block) and contains essential system information, such as system frame number and subcarrier spacing, which are needed for frame synchronization.

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 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.

 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 Blind handover or blind redirection method and system, A3 is the event that is used by the gNodeB to trigger a blind redirection procedure. A3 is defined as “neighbour becomes offset better than serving” in 3GPP TS 38.331. When the gNodeB detects that the UE’s signal quality on a neighbouring cell is better than that on the serving cell by a certain offset, it can initiate a blind redirection procedure to switch the UE to the neighbouring cell without requiring measurement reports from the UE.

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.
