RSRP (Reference Signal Receive Power)

RSRE Power = Psingle port-10*log(12*Nrb)+10*log(1+Pb)
Where ; PSingle Port = PRRU - 10*log(Nport)
Pb is Power Bosting
Psingle port = 49-10*log(4)

More smaller PRB scheduled for one UE in busy hour, will make power transmit will more high which
causing Noise Figure increase for entire cell and impact to SINR. More high PRB Utilization will causing
high probability of collision PRB on the cell edge which contribute to more degradation on cell edge.

CQI to MCS
CQI stands for Channel Quality Indicator. As the name implies, it is
an indicator carrying the information on how good/bad the
communication channel quality is. This CQI is for HSDPA. (LTE
also has CQI for its own purpose).
CQI is the information that UE sends to the network and practically

it implies the following two
i) Current Communication Channel Quality is this-and-that..
ii) I (UE) wants to get the data with this-and-that transport block
size, which in turn can be directly converted into throughput

RNTI
One of the other numbers which you would very frequently come accross is RNTI. RNTI stands for Radio Network
Temporary Identifier.
As the name implies, it is a kind of Identification number. Normally we use indentification number to differntiate one thing
from all other similar things. For example, your driver's license number let you identify yourself from all other drivers.
Social Security number do the same thing as well.
Getting more specifically into LTE, this RNTI is used to indentify one specific radio channel from other radio channel and
one user from another user. As you may recall, in WCDMA is a RNTI concept which is carried as part of MAC header to
deferentiate one user to another while in communication state. and in WCDMA case it used special channelization code to
deferentiate one radio channel from the other.
Types of RNTI
P-RNTI : It stands for Paging RNTI. Used for Paging Message.

SI-RNTI : It stands for System Information RNTI. Used for transmission of SIB messages
RA-RNTI : It stands for Random Access RNTI. Used for PRACH Response.
C-RNTI : It stands for Cell RNTI. Used for the transmission to a specific UE after RACH.
T-CRNTI : It stands for Temporary C-RNTI. Mainly used during RACH
SPS-C-RNTI : It stands for Semi persistance Scheduling C-RNTI
TPC-PUCCH-RNTI : It stands for Transmit Power Control-Physical Uplink Control Channel-RNTI

LTE Cell Search & Uplink

Synchronization
In LTE User Equipment (UE) must be able to do cell search, initial synchronization and random access procedure for
downlink and uplink access. To perform cell search, and initial synchronization, two synchronization signals, Primary
Synchronization Signal (PSS) and Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), are periodically transmitted from the base
station in the LTE system. Using these two signals and making use of the properties of Zadoff-Chu (ZC) and PseudoNoise (PN) sequence, the mobile unit will determine on which of the available cell sites it should lock into and it acquires
time and frequency synchronization. After UE will do random access procedure using Physical Random Access Channel
(PRACH). An appropriate design of PRACH preamble is essential to provide frequent enough random access
opportunities and an accurate UE synchronization estimation to adapt to different cell ranges and network conditions
without using unnecessary resources. This paper presents the complete LTE access procedure and more about PRACH
implementation and detection. Then the performance of the PRACH synchronization procedure under different parameter
settings is compared in a typical scenario of LTE.

PRACH Performance
Monitoring Principles
The physical random access channel (PRACH) transmits preambles during random access procedures. Preamble is classified into c ontention
preamble and non-contention preamble. Contention preambles are used in the following scenarios: initial connection establishment,
reestablishment, handover, downlink data transmission for UEs in the out -of-synchronization state, and uplink data transmission for UEs in the outof-synchronization state. Non-contention preambles are used in two scenarios: handover and downlink data transmission for UEs in the out-ofsynchronization state. Therefore, PRACH performance can be measured using the following factors:
Conflict probability for contention-based preambles: The more frequently the contention-based access is performed, the higher
probability that the preambles are conflicted. When the conflict probability reaches a certain extent, the access delay incre ases,
severely affecting user experience.
Assignment success rate for dedicated preambles: The assignment success rate for dedicated preambles decreases with the increase
of non-contention-based accesses. When the success rate decreases to a certain extent, the handover delay increases, affecting user
experience.
Monitoring Methods
Conflict probability for contention-based preambles = L.RA.UeRaInfoRspWithCon. Num / L.RA.UeRaInfoRsp.Num x 100%
Assignment success rate for dedicated preambles = L.RA.Dedicate.PreambleAssign.Num / L.RA.Dedicate.PreambleReq.Num x100%
whereL.RA.UeRaInfoRspWithCon.Num indicates number of times the UEInformationResponse message in which contentionDetected IE value is
TRUE is received, that is, the number of times the conflicting UEInformationResponse message is received.
L.RA.UeRaInfoRsp.Num indicates the number of times the UEInformationResponse message containing RACH information is received.
L.RA.Dedicate.PreambleAssign.Num indicates the number of times the non-connection-based preambles are assigned.
L.RA.Dedicate.PreambleReq.Num indicates the number of times the non-contention-based preamble is requested.
Suggested Measures
If the conflict probability for contention-based preambles reaches or exceeds 5% for X days (three days by default) in a week, enable the
RACH adjustment algorithm by running the command MOD CELLALGOSWITCH: LocalCellId=x, RachAlgoSwitch=RachAdjSwitch-1.
If the assignment success rate for dedicated preambles is less than 99% for X days (three days by default) in a week, enable the RACH
resource adjustment algorithm and reuse of dedicated PRACH preambles between UEs by running the command MOD CELLALGOSWITCH:
LocalCellId=x, RachAlgoSwitch=RachAdjSwitch-1, RachAlgoSwitch=MaksIdxSwitch-1;.

PLMN Selection
When a UE is powered on or moves from a
coverage hole to a coverage area, the UE first selects the last
RPLMN and attempts to register
with that PLMN. If a UE has registered successfully with a PLMN,
the UE shows the selected
PLMN on its screen, and now it can receive service from an
operator. If the last RPLMN is
unavailable or registration on this PLMN fails, another PLMN can
be automatically or manually
selected based on the priorities of PLMNs stored in the USIM.

Uplink Data Transmission

Scheduling - Persistent Scheduling
There are a couple of Data Transmission Scheduling Scheme
in LTE. The most simple in terms of algorithm would be the
persisent scheduling. In this scheduling mode, Network send
'Grant' in DCI Format 0 for every subframe.
i) Network send the first data on DL PDSCH and PDCCH

which has DCI format 1 for DL Data Decoding and DCI format
0 for UL Grant. (If there is no downlink data to be transmitted,
network transmits only DPCCH with DCI format 0 without any
DPSCH data)
ii) UE decode PCFICH to figure CFI value.
iii) UE decode PDCCH and get the information on DCI format
1
iv) Based on DCI format 1, UE decode DL data.
v) UE decode the information on DCI format 0 from PDCCH
vi) UE send ACK/NAK for DL data through UCI (UCI will be
carried by PUCCH)
vii) UE check the Grant field.
viii) If Grant is allowed, UE transmit the uplink data through
PUSCH
ix) Network decode PUSCH data and send ACK/NACK via
PHICH
x) UE decode PHICH and retransmit the data if PHICH
carries NACK
Page 36
www.DigiTrainee.com
Uplink Data Transmission Scheduling - Non

Persistent Scheduling
In Persistent Scheduling mode, UE can send the
data to Network anytime since Network is sending UL
Grant all the time. But what if Network does not send
UL Grant all the time ? In this case, UE has ASK the
network to send UL Grant (DCI 0). If network send
UL Grant, then UE can send UL data as allowed by
the UL Grant.
Overall procedure is as follows :
i) UE send SR (Scehduling Request) on PUCCH
ii) Network send UL Grant (DCI 0) on PDCCH
iii) UE decode DCI 0 and transmit PUSCH based on
the RBs specified by DCI 0
iv) Network decode the PUSCH
v) Network send ACK/NACK on PHICH
vi) If Network send NACK, go to step i)

Cell Selection Criteria
During cell selection, a UE selects an E-UTRAN cell that meets the cell selection criteria. The
UE can camp on a cell only when the RSRP and reference signal received quality (RSRQ) of
the cell are greater than the values of the CellSel.Qrxlevmin and CellSel.Qqualmin parameters,
respectively.
A UE selects an E-UTRAN cell to camp on when the cell meets both of the following conditions:
Srxlev > 0
Squal > 0
where:
Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas - (Qrxlevmin + Qrxlevminoffset) - Pcompensation

Squal = Qqualmeas - (Qqualmin + Qqualminoffset)
The variables in the previous formulas are described as follows:
l Qrxlevmeas: measured received signal level (that is, measured RSRP), expressed in dBm.
l Qrxlevmin: minimum required received signal level configured on the eNodeB, expressed
in dBm.
l Qrxlevminoffset: offset to the value of Qrxlevmin. In cell selection, this offset is considered
when the UE in a VPLMN attempts to camp on a cell in a higher-priority PLMN.
l Pcompensation: max (PMax - UE Maximum Output Power, 0), expressed in dB.
PMax: maximum transmit power (expressed in dBm) of the UE during uplink
transmission.
UE Maximum Output Power: maximum output power (expressed in dBm) of the UE.
l Qqualmeas: measured received signal quality (that is, measured RSRQ), expressed in dB.
l Qqualmin: minimum required received signal quality configured on the eNodeB, expressed
in dB.
l QQualminoffset: offset to Qqualmin. In cell selection, this offset is considered when the
UE in a VPLMN attempts to camp on a cell in a higher-priority PLMN.

Paging
The purpose of paging is to transmit paging information to a UE in idle mode or to inform all
UEs in the EMM-REGISTERED state about a system information change. A paging procedure
can be initiated by either an MME or an eNodeB.
When an MME initiates a paging procedure, the paging message contains a tracking area list
(TAL) for the concerned UE. In all the cells within the TAs on the list, the eNodeBs transmit
the paging message over the paging control channel (PCCH) to page the UE. To increase the
probability that the UE successfully receives the message, the eNodeBs send the paging message
over the radio interface a number of times specified by the PCCHCFG.PagingSentNum
parameter. The paging message contains the domain information and UE identity. The domain
information indicates the origin of paging, and the UE identity may be the S-temporary mobile
subscriber identity (S-TMSI) or international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) of the UE.
When system information changes, the eNodeB transmits a paging message to notify all UEs in
the EMM-REGISTERED state in the cell and transmits the updated system information in the
next modification period. To ensure that all of these UEs receive the system information, the
eNodeB transmits the paging message on all possible occasions in discontinuous reception
(DRX) cycles.
Page 43
www.DigiTrainee.com
Paging One TAL = One TAC

One TAL is same with one TAC, with this design when the
UE in idle condition then move to another TAC it will be
generate TAU to report MME where is last position for this
UE. When there is downlink packet data need to be
deliver for that UE, MME can easily to find latest position.
S-GW
Internet
TAU Procedure
The tracking area update (TAU) procedure is triggered if one of the follow ing
conditions is met:
The UE detects that the current TA does not exist in the TA list on the UEregistered netw ork.
It is a periodic TAU.
The TAU procedure is triggered during a handover procedure.
On an EPS netw ork, the basic unit of location management is TA List. A TA List
consists of one or multiple TAs. A TA list prevents a UE from initiating the TAU
procedure frequently. In USN1.1, a TA is regarded as a TA List by default.

One TAL contains multiple TAC, with this design when UE

there is no TAU. When MME want to deliver downlink
packet data for that UE MME will send to latest TAC
where the UE located. If the UE is unreachable MME will
try to paging another TAC under one TAL until found. This
design will take a time compare with the previous design.

Priority of DL Scheduling

www.DigiTrainee.com
Control Plane DL Scheduling

During scheduling in each subframe, control-plane messages are preferentially scheduled before user-plane data. Control-plane
information consists of common control information and dedicated control information.
Common Control Information

Common control information includes broadcast messages such as SIB1 and SIB2, and paging
messages. SIB is short for system information block. Scheduling common control information
uses QPSK and low coding rates for reliable transmission.
3GPP specifications define three downlink allocation modes:
l Resource allocation of type 0
Resource allocation of type 2 is used to allocate resources to common control information. In
resource allocations of type 2, the allocations are classified into distributed virtual resource block
(DVRB) allocations and localized virtual resource block (LVRB) allocations.
The following describes DVRB allocations and LVRB allocations:
l DVRB allocation applies to the non-contiguous allocation of resource blocks and increases
the coverage of common control information. However, the system resources occupied by
common control information increases, resulting in a decrease in the UE throughput.
l LVRB allocation applies to the contiguous allocation of resource blocks and decreases the
amount of system resources occupied by common control information, which increases the
UE throughput. However, the coverage of common control information decreases.
LVRB allocations are currently used.
Dedicated Control Information
Dedicated control information includes random access (RA) response and the information
carried on signaling radio bearer (SRB) 0, SRB1, and SRB2.
Page 49
www.DigiTrainee.com
HARQ Retransmission
HARQ retransmissions cannot be performed for a UE in any of the following
scenarios:
l The UE is in a measurement gap or enters a measurement gap when it
sends an HARQACK.
l The UE enters sleep time in DRX and the HARQ operating status is
discontinuous
transmission (DTX).
l The UE is not synchronized with the eNodeB or a radio link failure (RLF)
occurs.
HARQ retransmissions are scheduled after control-plane messages. The
scheduling priorities of different HARQ retransmissions are determined by
the wait time. A longer wait time indicates
Page 50
www.DigiTrainee.com
SPS Scheduling
As the importance of supporting
voice in LTE networks (VoLTE)
increases, concerns arise
regarding the number of
simultaneous voice calls that can
be handled. One of the primary
constraints is the amount of
capacity on the Physical Downlink
Control Channel (PDCCH). As a
quick review, the PDCCH carries
all allocation information for both
the downlink and uplink shared
channels, PDSCH and PUSCH
respectively. Each allocation is
carried as Downlink Control
Information (DCI) and the size of
the DCI depends upon several
factors including whether it is for
uplink or downlink allocation.
Page 51
Since the PDCCH is limited size

(generally, 3 OFDM symbol
times), there is a limit as to how
many DCIs can be carried in a
subframe (1 ms). This can in-turn
limit the number of UEs which can
receive an allocation for that
subframe when using dynamic
scheduling (a 1:1 PDCCH-toPxSCH method.
www.DigiTrainee.com
SPS Scheduling Contd

In order to support more
allocations, without increasing the
size of the PDCCH, we can use
semi-persistent scheduling (SPS).
With SPS, the UE is preconfigured by the eNB with an
SPS-RNTI (allocation ID) and a
periodicity. Once pre-configured, if
the UE were to receive an
allocation (DL / UL) using the
SPS-RNTI (instead of the typical
C-RNTI), then this one allocation
would repeat according to the preconfigured periodicity.
Page 52
www.DigiTrainee.com
SPS Scheduling Contd

During SPS, certain things remain
fixed for each allocation : RB
assignments, Modulation and
Coding Scheme, etc. Because of
this, if the radio link conditions
change, a new allocation will have
to be sent (PDCCH). Also, any
incremental redundancy (HARQ
subsequent transmissions) will be
separately scheduled using
dynamic scheduling. Also, to
avoid wasting resources when a
data transfer is completed, there
are several mechanisms for
deactivating SPS (explicit,
inactivity timer, etc.).
So, with SPS which is well suited
to periodic communication like
voice, we can support many more
allocations with the same PDCCH
resource. This can allow more
simultaneous VoLTE calls.

Reading various LTE specification, you will see many terms
which seems to be related to resource allocation but looks
very confusing. At least you have to clearly understand the
following units.
i) Resource Element(RE) : The smallest unit made up of 1
symbol x 1 subcarrier.
ii) Resource Element Group (REG) : a group of 4
consecutive resource elements. (resource elements for
reference signal is not included in REG)
iii) Control Channel Element (CCE) : a group of 9

consective REG
iv) Aggregation Level - a group of 'L' CCEs. (L can be
1,2,4,8)
v) RB (Resource Block) : I think everybody would know
what this is. This is a unit of 84 resource elements which is
12 subcarrier by 7 symbols (This is with normal Cylic Prefix
which is used in most of the LTE deployment. If it is with
Extended Cyclic Prefix, the number of symbols within a
subframe become 6 and the number of resource elements
in a single RB become 72).
vi) RBG (Resource Block Group) : This is a unit comprised
of multiple RBs. How many RBs within one RBG differs
depending on the system bandwidth.

MRO
As mobile telecommunications technologies advance, networks continue to grow and

incorporate multiple radio access technologies (RATs), resulting in complicated
network
maintenance. To simplify maintenance, an LTE system must support self-organizing
network
(SON) technology. MRO is used for self-optimization in an SON.

MRO collects handover performance statistics for different scenarios, identifies
abnormal
handover scenarios, and optimizes the mobility-related parameter settings. MRO
helps to reduce
the number of handover failures and service drops caused by premature and
delayed handovers,
handovers to wrong cells, or ping-pong handovers to achieve better resource
utilization and
improve user experience.
In this document, the triggering quantity and reporting quantity used in handover
measurements
for MRO are based on reference signal received power (RSRP).

The eNodeB identifies
premature handovers,
delayed handovers,
handovers to wrong
cells, and
ping-pong handovers,
and counts the number
of each type of abnormal
handovers.

MIMO
MIMO is developed to provide doubled and more spectral efficiency. As an extension of singleinput
single-output (SISO), MIMO uses multiple antennas at the transmitter and/or receiver in
combination with some signal processing techniques. Generally speaking, single-input multipleoutput
(SIMO), multiple-input single-output (MISO), and beamforming also belong to the
MIMO category.

ICIC is a technology that collaborates with power control and media access control (MAC)
scheduling technologies to mitigate inter-cell interference. ICIC divides the entire system
band into three frequency bands and uses different frequency bands at the edge of
neighboring cells. CEUs, which cause high interference or may be sensitive to interference,
are preferentially scheduled in the cell edge bands to mitigate inter-cell interference. The
interference mitigation enhances the network coverage and improves the CEU throughput.

ANR Classification
Based on neighbor relations, ANR is classified into intra-RAT ANR and

inter-RAT ANR.
Based on the methods of measuring neighboring cells, ANR is classified
into event-triggered ANR and fast ANR (also known as periodic ANR).

ANR Feature Benefit and influence

Benefit
- ANR is a self-optimization function. It automatically maintains the integrity and
effectiveness of neighbor cell lists (NCLs) and neighbor relation tables (NRTs) to
increase handover success rates and improve network performance. In addition, ANR
does not require manual intervention, which reduces the costs of network planning and
optimization.
- Event ANR
- Find the missing neighbor cells when handover measurement is reported, handover success rate
and call drop rate can be improved.
- Fast ANR
- Choose some UE to measure neighbor cells and report periodically, the neighbor cell relations can
be convergent more faster.

ANR Feature Benefit and influence

Influence
- Event ANR
- CGI report process will introduces extra delays in handovers of the UEs that meet the handover
conditions.
- Fast ANR
- In fast ANR processes, UE will report PCI periodically and read CGI when the neighbor cell is
unknown.
- In intra-frequency scene, periodical PCI reporting does not impact system performance, whereas
CGI reading interrupts UE services.
- In inter-frequency and inter-RAT scene, periodical PCI reporting impacts UE throughput, and CGI
reading interrupts UE services.

Relation between ANR and others

Relation between ANR and others
Intra-RAT ANR
- Intra-RAT ANR needs UE to support Long DRX cycle and ANR-related

measurement. If ANR measurements need to be performed, a temporary dedicated
DRX cycle needs to be configured for the UE. During this cycle, the UE obtains the
CGIs of neighboring cells in dormancy periods.

- Intra-RAT ANR has an impact on Feature PCI Collision Detection & SelfOptimization. When neighboring cell information changes because of intra-RAT
ANR, PCI conflict detection is triggered.
Inter-RAT ANR
- Inter-RAT ANR needs UE to support Long DRX cycle and ANR-related
measurement. If ANR measurements need to be performed, a temporary dedicated
DRX cycle needs to be configured for the UE.
