Issue Summary(CLOT_UL MAC Throughput Low)

Issue CLOT(TN-VLLR-0186)

MAC T/P UL>=256Kbps had fail. Why ?

Issue Summary

Main issues for low MAC Throughput(>=256Kbps)

Because of TCP Window size smaller, so UE buffer size was small like 0
TCP Congestion Window (CWND) : In case of sender, how many data UE can send without ACK
In TCP flow, it is always changed for congestion control

Why they happened small buffer size for UL

Big Buffer Size from Microwave backhaul (Refer to Appendix)

Issue CLOT(N-VLLR-0186)

Drop happened by Server drop/socket drop

During the test, Server Drop had total 119 times, so test result(>=UL 256K) was 84.09%
(KPI Value : 95%)

Analysis(Drop Event)

Drop case(UE Side)

Even through, RF environment was good, but Buffer size was 0 because of TCP Window
size smaller

Buffer Size is smaller

UL T/P was low

Analysis(Server Drop Event)

A lof of drop cases are like this:

During Issue time, there were a bit of RLC Data and UE received status ACK from e-NB
It means eNB Scheduling is no issue, low buffer size happened by network(backhaul side)

Server drop by server timer

From this time, UE didnt send the a lot of RLC Data

UE received status ACK PDU, it means that eNB was not issue

Check the test drive route for PCI 204

Note 1 : To know low UL low T/P, site alarm should be checked whether it was normal or not.
For example, if high VSWR would cause low throughput due to losses

Low UL Throughput in SCFT

Main issues for low UL Throughput

Some Cells have uplink interference that are RSSI values higher than -90dBm and
Interference values higher than thermal noise (-101dBm)
eNB 1100 Beta Sector : Interference power level : -90dBm, RSSI level : -84dBm
Refer to Appendix (RSSI/Interference level from LSM)

Belows are UL interference evidence from log data

The BLER should be smaller or equal than 10%. If the value is larger, then, there is an indication of
bad RF environment
eNB 1100 Beta Sector BLER is about average 53%.
Typical causes of bad BLER are uplink interference, bad coverage (holes in the network, etc.)
But, from LSM check, high BLER happened by interference.
To know exactly, That sites should be checked by RRH dump
Power Headroom
low value of power headroom means that UEs do not have available power to transmit in
the uplink and hence, UL throughput is low.
eNB 1100 Beta Sector almost had 0dB
Typical causes of low power headroom are uplink interference

Issue Site_I-DL-DLHI-ENB-1100

Why ? UL Throughput is low

Because of uplink interference, the BLER had more than 10% in beta/Gamma cell
Also, Power Headroom is low
low value of power headroom means that UEs do not have available power to transmit in the
uplink and hence, the throughput is low.
Power Headroom Low
Typical causes of low power headroom are uplink interference
