HNBAP Tab
In HNB testing, the Iuh tab is used to define the radio and transport layers of the Iuh interface between the HNB and a HGW SUT. The settings for the appropriate protocols are displayed based on your UMTS Version selection.
Home Node B Application Part (HNBAP) provide settings registration/indication of Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) and location/routing information of a Mobile Subscriber

Mobile Subscriber
CSG Indicator
Indicates whether the UE is Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) enabled or not.
Tcl Parameter: HnbapCsgIndicator_1
Each HNB (cell) has a unique Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) ID. Each UE (User Equipment) has an “Allowed CSG List”, containing a list of CSG IDs identifying the HNB to which the UE belongs. The Allowed CSG List is maintained and provided by NAS. A CSG HNB broadcasts its CSG ID in the system information to UEs for cell selection. The CSG cell may also broadcast its HNB Name to aid the UE in manual selection of a CSG ID.
Registration Cause
The UE Registration Function for HNB provides means for the HNB to convey UE identification data to the HNB-GW in order to perform access control for the UE in the HNB GW. The UE Registration also informs the HNB-GW of the specific HNB where the UE is located.
The HNB registers a specific UE with the HNB-GW. The registration is triggered when the UE attempts to access the HNB via an initial NAS message (e.g., Location Updating Request) and there is no context in the HNB allocated for that UE.

Location and Routing Information
HNB
HNB ID
Indicates the HNB's globally unique and permanent identity. For each HNB, a unique HNB IDs automatically increments.
Tcl Parameter: HnbapHnbId_1
CSG Capacity
Indicates the CSG Capacity - Options : Not CSG Capable (default) or CSG Capable.
If the HNB is CSG Capable and it operated in a Closed Access Mode (as defined in TS 22.220[15]), then it shall provide the CSG-ID IE and it may provide the HNB Cell Access Mode IE within the HNB REGISTER REQUEST message.
Tcl Parameter: HnbapCsgCapacity_1
Cell ID
Indicates the location information of the macro-cell used for The location locking mechanism based on macro-cells. The Cell ID is unique per HNB and automatically increments.
Tcl Parameter: HnbapCellId_1
Cell Access Mode
Indicates the Cell Access Mode - Options : Open, Hybrid or Closed.
If the HNB operates in a Hybrid Access Mode (as defined in TS 22.220[15]), then it shall provide the CSG-ID IE and the HNB Cell Access Mode IE within the HNB REGISTER REQUEST message.
If the HNB operates in a Open Access Mode (as defined in TS 22.220[15]), then it shall provide the HNB Cell Access Mode IE within the HNB REGISTER REQUEST message.
Tcl Parameter: HnbapCellAccessMode_1
CSG ID
Indicates the CSG (Closed Subscriber Group) list.

Retries
Retries is the maximum number of attempts made by the HNB to send a message after the Ack Timeout has expired.
When Retry on Reject is selected, Retries also indicates the maximum number of attempts made by the HNB to register with the HNB-GW.
| NOTE: The HNB testing continues to execute even after exhausting the retry attempts if the number of failed HnBs is below the threshold set for the HNB Control Node. The UEs remain evenly distributed across all HnBs, so only the subset of UEs assigned to successful HnBs activates. |
Retry Time
The value for the retry interval timer. The second retry attempt, if any, will be made after the Retry Time is exceeded.
When Retry on Reject is selected, Retry Time also indicates the amount of time the HNB waits before attempting to register again.
Tcl Parameters:
HnbapRetries_1 |
HnbapRetryTime_1 |
Retry On Reject
Select Retry on Reject to indicate that HNB attempts registration again after initial Registration Rejection.
The HNB attempts to register again after the initial registration rejection. The number of attempts made depends on the value you enter in the Retries parameter. The HNB waits for a period indicated in the Retry Time before attempting to register again.
TCL Parameter: HnbapRetryOnRejectEn_1
Type: True/False
Default: False
