CBRS Alliance Overview

Overview

• CBRS Alliance is an industry forum created to champion 3GPP

based RANs in the CBRS Band (3550-3700 MHz) in accordance

with FCC Part 96 Rules

• Information on FCC Part 96 can be found at:

– The Part 96 rules can be found at: https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/ECFR,

select Title 47, Chapter 1, Volume 5, Part 96

– WInnForum webinar: Understanding the New US 3.5 GHz Band at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ2a4ZRjGgE&t=304sNote: This Webinar is from June 2015 and a couple of the FCC rules have since been

revised, but webinar remains an excellent overview. WInnForum has additional Webinars on

CBRS available on youtube.

• CBRSA specific Test Plan (Release ≥ 2)

FCC Part 96 Rule

WInnForum Specifications

CBRSA Specifications


OnGo™ Certification Process: 4 Simple Steps

1. Vendor submits certification request with device information

– Vendor needs to be a CBRS Alliance member

2. Vendor/ATL uploads necessary documentation

– ATL performs testing & obtains FCC ID

– Reuse of test results from FCC Part 96 Authorization is possible

3. CBRS Alliance Certification Board reviews test results

– Certification PM works with ATL/vendor to resolve issues

4. CBRS Alliance grants OnGo™ certification


OnGo™ Certification Process: Certification Types

Initial Certification

• First certification of a new product

• Similarity to FCC Original Equipment

• Full testing

Engineering Change Order (ECO)

• Update to an already certified device

• Similarity to FCC Permissive Changes Class II / III

• Full/Partial testing

Rebranding

• Vendor resells already certified device under different brand

• Similarity to FCC Change in Identification

• Paper documentation

• No testing


OnGo™ Certification Process: Air Interface Support

• E-UTRA (LTE)

– No 3GPP testing as part of OnGo™ certification

– Declaration of compliance statement required

– Mandatory for OnGo™ Release 1 certification

• 5G/NR

– OnGo™ Certification of 5G/NR will become available with Release 3.

– Add OnGo™ 5G Ready Statement to an existing OnGo™ certification

– Additional declaration of compliance statement required

• Non-3GPP

– Not possible

OnGo™ Certification Roadmap

• OnGo™ Release 2 Certification (Begin of 2021):

– Coverage of Interaction with CBRSA Coexistence Manager (CxM)

• Grouping Parameter with CBRSA specific additions

• TDD Configuration Selection

• FDD Spectrum Allocation

– Expansion of Certification Scope to CSAS (SAS + CxM)

– Declaration statements for CBRSA Network Services Profiles

• OnGo™ Release 3 Certification (Plan):

– Include CBRSA 5G/NR coexistence requirements


Thank You!

Neutral Host Deployment GuideOnGo 101

Neutral Host Deployment Guide

• Initial Draft Completed

• Same General Structure as Private LTE DG– Same process steps

– Covers multiple NHN forms

• MORAN, MOCN, CBRSA-Defined NHNs

– Service Level Agreement/Roaming Agreements

• Typical structure and terms (contribution needed)

• New Scenarios– Big-box store

– Stadium

• Provide coverage to people in the stands

BWG Supporting Activities

• Examining Neutral Host Use Cases

– Determining requirements and priorities of various stakeholders

• Stakeholder Interviews

– Outreach to member companies, customers, potential deployers

of OnGo networks

– Gathering their needs, concerns, blocking points, etc.

OnGo IdentifiersOnGo 101

CBRSA Identifiers

• LTE Home Network Identifier (HNI) Only Has 3 Digits– 6-digit Public Land Mobile Network – ID

– 3 digit country code

– 3 digit network code

– Not enough for lots of OnGo networks

• CBRSA’s Has A Shared Home Network Identifier (SHNI) (315-010)– Can be used by any OnGo network

– Overloaded on existing LTE Closed Subscriber Group field

• Other IDs Needed to Ensure Uniqueness– Mobility Management Engine Group Identifier (MMEGI)

• 1 per roaming area

– Macro eNB ID• 1 per eNodeB (CBSD)

• IMSI Block Number (for SIMS) Administered by US IMSI Admin– imsiadmin.com
