Carrier Aggregation Feature Parameter Description 3 Overview
3 Overview
3.1 Introduction
3GPP requires that LTE-Advanced networks provide a downlink peak data rate of 1 Gbit/s.
However, radio spectrum resources are so scarce that in most cases operators own only non-
adjacent portions of the spectrum. Due to the limited bandwidth available on any single
portion of the spectrum, the 1 Gbit/s data rate requirement is hard to meet.
To deal with this situation, 3GPP Release 10 introduced carrier aggregation (CA) for LTE-
Advanced networks. CA allows for aggregation of contiguous or non-contiguous component
carriers (CCs) to expand bandwidth to up to 100 MHz.
Figure 3-1 illustrates an example of CA.
Figure 3-1 CA for UEs
3.2 Usage Scenarios

CA can be used between intra- or inter-eNodeB cells.
3.2.1 Intra-eNodeB CA Scenarios

Annex J in 3GPP TS 36.300 of Release 10 defines five intra-eNodeB CA scenarios, which
use two CCs as an example.
Table 3-1 lists the five scenarios and describes when Huawei eNodeBs support the scenarios.

3.2.2 Inter-eNodeB CA Scenarios

Huawei eNodeBs support CA in the following inter-eNodeB scenarios:
l eNodeB coordination
Inter-eNodeB CA works in networks with ideal backhaul requirements for delay. For
details, see 12 Inter-eNodeB CA Based on eNodeB Coordination.
l Relaxed backhaul
Inter-eNodeB CA works in networks with relaxed backhaul requirements for delay
(referred to as relaxed backhaul scenarios in this document). For details, see 13 Inter-
eNodeB CA Based on Relaxed Backhaul.

eRAN
Carrier Aggregation Feature Parameter Description 4 General Principles
4 General Principles
4.1 Architecture
Functional Architecture
The functional architecture for CA includes:
l Primary component carrier (PCC) anchoring, secondary serving cell (SCell)
configuration, and transitions between SCell states. For details, see 4.5 Carrier
Management for RRC_CONNECTED UEs and 4.6 Carrier Management for
RRC_IDLE UEs.
l Special implementation of other features in CA scenarios. For details, see 16 Other Key
Techniques in CA Scenarios.
Huawei CA operates in accordance with the following constraints, which are stipulated in
3GPP TS 36.300 of Release 10 for LTE-Advanced:
l In the uplink or downlink, a CA UE can have no more than five CCs aggregated, with
each CC having a maximum bandwidth of 20 MHz.
l CA UEs support asymmetric CA. A UE may use different numbers of CCs in the uplink
and downlink. However, the number of CCs in the downlink must always be at least
equal to the number of CCs in the uplink. In addition, the uplink CCs must be included
in the set of downlink CCs.
l Each CC uses the same frame structure as 3GPP Release 8 carriers, ensuring backward
compatibility.
l 3GPP Release 8 or 9 UEs are allowed to transmit and receive data on Release 10 CCs.
Protocol Stack Architecture

The uplink and downlink air-interface protocol stack with CA enabled has the following
characteristics:
l Each radio bearer has only one Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entity and
one Radio Link Control (RLC) entity. The number of CCs at the physical layer is not
visible from the RLC layer.
l User-plane data scheduling at the Media Access Control (MAC) layer is performed
separately for individual CCs.

eRAN
l Each CC has an independent set of Uu interface transport channels, as well as separate

hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) entities and retransmission processes.
Figure 4-1 shows the protocol stack.

4.2 Related Concepts

PCell
A primary serving cell (PCell) is a cell on which a CA UE camps. In the PCell, the CA UE
works in the same way as it does in a 3GPP Release 8 or Release 9 cell. The physical uplink
control channel (PUCCH) of the UE exists only in the PCell.
Unless otherwise stated, all switches described in this document need to be turned on only in
the PCell.
SCell
A secondary serving cell (SCell) is a cell that an eNodeB configures for a CA UE through an
RRC Connection Reconfiguration message. This cell operates on a different frequency from
the PCell. It provides the CA UE with additional radio resources. In an SCell, there can be
downlink transmission only or both downlink and uplink transmission.
CC
Component carriers (CCs) are the carriers that are aggregated for a CA UE.
PCC
The primary component carrier (PCC) is the carrier of the PCell.
SCC
A secondary component carrier (SCC) is the carrier of an SCell.
PCC Anchoring
During PCC anchoring, the eNodeB selects a high-priority cell as the PCell for the UE.
Related Events
l Event A1
The signal quality of the serving cell exceeds a specific threshold.
l Event A2
The signal quality of the serving cell drops below a specific threshold.
l Event A3
The signal quality of the PCell's neighboring cell exceeds that of the PCell.
l Event A4
The signal quality of a neighboring cell exceeds a specific threshold.
l Event A5
The signal quality of the PCell drops below threshold 1 and the signal quality of a
neighboring cell exceeds threshold 2.
When CA is enabled, the CaA5HoEventSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter affects measurement configuration. This

eRAN
option specifies whether to change event A4 to event A5 in the handover-related inter-

frequency measurement configurations delivered to CA UEs.
– Option selected
The eNodeB changes event A4 to event A5 when both the network and the UE
support CA. Threshold 1 for event A5 always takes the value of –43 dBm.
NOTE
If the EutranInterNFreq.InterFreqHoEventType parameter is set to EventA5, threshold 1

for event A5 that triggers coverage-based inter-frequency handovers also takes a fixed value
of –43 dBm.
– Option deselected
n When triggering inter-frequency measurements, the eNodeB changes event A4
to event A5 for the following handover types if SCells have been configured
for the CA UEs:
○ Coverage-based inter-frequency handover
○ Uplink-quality-based inter-frequency handover
○ Distance-based inter-frequency handover
○ Inter-frequency handover for UE transfer in the event of carrier disabling
○ Inter-frequency handover for unlimited-service (US) UE assurance
○ Outgoing inter-frequency handover of non-US UEs
○ Load-based inter-frequency handover
Threshold 1 for event A5 that triggers coverage-based inter-frequency
handovers is specified by the InterFreqHoGroup.InterFreqHoA5Thd1Rsrp
parameter. Threshold 1 for event A5 that triggers other types of inter-
frequency handovers is always –43 dBm.
n When triggering inter-frequency measurements, the eNodeB delivers inter-
frequency measurement configurations related to the handover event
determined by relevant algorithms, without changing event A4 to event A5, for
the following handover types:
○ Frequency-priority-based handover
○ Service-based inter-frequency handover
○ Inter-frequency handover back to the home public land mobile network
(HPLMN) based on the subscriber profile ID (SPID)
○ Inter-frequency handover based on evolved multimedia broadcast/
multicast service (eMBMS) interest indications
○ Speed-based inter-frequency handover
○ Redirection to specified frequencies for high-mobility UEs (TDD only)
○ Service-request-based handover (TDD only)
l Event A6
The signal quality of an SCell's intra-frequency neighboring cell exceeds that of the
SCell. After receiving an event A6 report, the eNodeB changes the SCell to a new one
while keeping the PCell unchanged.
The entering condition for event A6 is: Mn + Ocn – Hys > Ms + Ocs + Off.
In this condition:
– Mn is the reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement result of a
neighboring cell.

eRAN
– Ocn is the cell-specific offset for the neighboring cell. The offset is specified by the
EutranInterFreqNCell.CellIndividualOffset parameter.
– Hys is the hysteresis for event A6. The value of this variable is always 1 dB.
– Ms is the RSRP measurement result of the serving cell.
– Ocs is the cell-specific offset for the serving cell. The offset is specified by the
Cell.CellSpecificOffset parameter.
– Off is the offset for event A6. The offset is specified by the
CaMgtCfg.CarrAggrA6Offset parameter.
For details about events A1 to A5, see Mobility Management in Connected Mode.
For details about event A6, see section 5.5.4.6a "Event A6 (Neighbour becomes offset better
than SCell)" in 3GPP TS 36.331 V10.12.0.
If the time-to-trigger (specified by the CellMcPara.TimetoTrigger parameter) for any of the

preceding events is set to a value greater than the timer value (3s) for gap-assisted
measurements, measurement results cannot be reported.
4.3 Band Combinations

eNodeBs support CA in the band combinations defined in 3GPP specifications and in the
band combinations defined by operators.
None of the band combinations are direction-specific. Both uplink and downlink CA work
with the band combinations.
3GPP-defined Band Combinations

eNodeBs of the current version support CA in 3GPP-defined band combinations, with the
following exceptions:
l FDD-only CA is possible for cells with 1.4 MHz or 3 MHz bandwidth, but 1.4 MHz
cells cannot act as PCells. In 1.4 MHz cells, there are only six resource blocks (RBs)
available. If these cells act as PCells for CA UEs, they cannot accommodate the
significant increase in the PUCCH load caused by CA.
l FDD+TDD CA is not possible for FDD cells with 1.4 MHz or 3 MHz bandwidth or
TDD cells with 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, or 5 MHz bandwidth.
The supported 3GPP-defined band combinations vary depending on eNodeB hardware:

l The main control board of the eNodeB is an LMPT, or the eNodeB is a BTS3202E,
BTS3203E, or BTS3205E.
Due to the limited storage space of hardware, the eNodeB supports CA only in the band
combinations defined in section 5.6A.1 "Channel bandwidths per operating band for
CA" of 3GPP TS 36.101 V13.6.1. Any other band combination must be defined by
operators before CA can be used in those bands.
l The main control board of the eNodeB is a UMPT, or the eNodeB is a Micro BTS3900.
The eNodeB supports CA in the band combinations defined in section 5.6A.1 "Channel
bandwidths per operating band for CA" of 3GPP TS 36.101 V14.5.0.

eRAN
Operator-defined Band Combinations

Operators may own certain band combinations that have not been defined by 3GPP
specifications. Huawei eNodeBs support operator-defined band combinations to meet
operator requirements for band combination customization.
l Band 41 (10 MHz/20 MHz) + Band 41 (20 MHz) + Band 42 (20 MHz) for 3CC
aggregation, where the two carriers in Band 41 are non-contiguous
l Band 41 (20 MHz) + Band 41 (10 MHz) + Band 42 (20 MHz) for 3CC aggregation,
where the two carriers in Band 41 are non-contiguous
In FDD, operators use the PrivateCaBandComb MO to define band combinations for 2CC,
3CC, 4CC, or 5CC aggregation.
This MO contains the parameters listed in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1 Parameters in the PrivateCaBandComb MO

Parameter ID Parameter Description
PrivateCaBandComb.PrivateCaCombId Identifies an operator-defined CA band

combination. This ID is unique within an
eNodeB.
PrivateCaBandComb.MaxAggregatedBw Specifies the maximum aggregated

bandwidth that the band combination
supports.
PrivateCaBandComb.BwCombSetId Identifies a bandwidth combination set for

the band combination. A band combination
may support multiple bandwidth
combination sets.
PrivateCaBandComb.CombBand1Id Identify the bands in the band combination.

The parameter settings must meet the
PrivateCaBandComb.CombBand2Id following requirement:
PrivateCaBandComb.CombBand3Id PrivateCaBandComb.CombBand1Id ≤
PrivateCaBandComb.CombBand2Id ≤
PrivateCaBandComb.CombBand4Id PrivateCaBandComb.CombBand3Id ≤
PrivateCaBandComb.CombBand4Id ≤
PrivateCaBandComb.CombBand5Id
PrivateCaBandComb.CombBand5Id
PrivateCaBandComb.CombBand1Bw Specify the bandwidth allowed in each

band.
PrivateCaBandComb.CombBand2Bw

eRAN
NOTE
l If a 3GPP-defined band combination supported by eNodeBs conflicts with an operator-defined band

combination, the operator-defined one takes precedence. To avoid UE faults caused by conflicts
between 3GPP-defined and operator-defined bandwidth combination sets, operators are advised to
set PrivateCaBandComb.BwCombSetId to be different from any 3GPP-defined set ID.
l If a subset of an operator-defined band combination is not defined in 3GPP specifications or if the
operator has special requirements for band combinations, data reconfiguration will be required.
l Ensure that there is no interference between the operator-defined bands for FDD+TDD CA. For
details about how to meet the requirement, contact Huawei engineers.
Whitelist Control over Operator-defined Band Combinations

This whitelist control function is based on UE differentiation. UEs that support band
combinations not defined in 3GPP specifications are identified and whitelisted, which ensures
that operator-defined band combinations take effect for CA only at these UEs.
For this function to take effect, operators must run man-machine language (MML) commands
to configure the UE-supported band combinations on eNodeBs.
The operators then must set the UeCompat.WhiteLstCaCombSwitch parameter to the IDs of
the band combinations. For example, if band combinations with
PrivateCaBandComb.PrivateCaCombId of 2 and 3 are defined, the
UeCompat.WhiteLstCaCombSwitch parameter must be set to PRIVATECACOMBID_2
and PRIVATECACOMBID_3 so that the two band combinations take effect only for
whitelisted UEs.
Network-requested CA Band Combination Capability Signaling

3GPP Release 10 stipulates that a UE can report a maximum of 128 CA band combinations.
As the supply of commercial CA-capable UEs increases and UE maturity improves, the
number of band combinations supported by a single UE has been growing. To allow a single
UE to report more band combinations, 3GPP Release 11 has incorporated network-requested
CA band combination capability signaling, according to which a UE can report a maximum of
384 (128 + 256) CA band combinations.
NOTE
For details about network-requested CA band combination capability signaling, see section 5.6.3.3
"Reception of the UECapabilityEnquiry by the UE" in 3GPP TS 36.331 V13.1.0.
This function is controlled by the SupportNetReqCaComboSwitch option of the

GlobalProcSwitch.ProtocolSupportSwitch parameter. It is recommended that this function
be enabled across the network when CA is in use. Otherwise, certain CA band combinations
may fail to be configured.
If this function is enabled, UEs report CA band combinations as follows:

1. During initial access, an incoming RRC connection reestablishment, or an incoming
handover, a UE capable of network-requested CA band combination capability signaling
reports this capability using the freqBandRetrieval-r11 IE and reports a maximum of 128
supported CA band combinations using the supportedBandCombination IE defined in
3GPP Release 10.
2. The eNodeB includes the requestedFrequencyBands IE, which contains a maximum of
16 bands, in the UE Capability Enquiry message and sends this message to the UE, if
either of the following conditions is met:

eRAN
– In the case of initial access, the number of CA band combinations reported by the
UE reaches 128, the maximum number allowed. Alternatively, the UE capability
information sent from the EPC to the eNodeB includes the requestedBands IE, and
these bands are different from the CA bands supported by the eNodeB.
– In the case of an incoming RRC connection reestablishment or handover, the target
eNodeB supports different frequency bands from those supported by the source
eNodeB.
3. The UE includes the requestedBands, supportedBandCombination, and
supportedBandCombinationAdd IEs in the UE Capability Information message and
sends this message to the eNodeB. The supportedBandCombination IE includes the 128
CA band combinations, and the supportedBandCombinationAdd IE conveys up to 256
combinations of the bands indicated in the requestedBands IE. These two IEs include a
maximum of 384 combinations in total.
With this function activated, UEs supporting more than 128 CA band combinations can enter
the CA state. However, as the eNodeB needs to store more CA band combinations for each
UE, the memory usage of the eNodeB increases slightly. Moreover, the additional procedure
for querying CA band combination capabilities has a negative impact on performance
indicators such as the number of signaling messages, access delay, and E-RAB setup success
rate. For example:
l L.Signal.Num.Uu increases.
l L.E-RAB.InitEst.TimeAvg increases.
l L.E-RAB.InitEst.TimeMax increases.
l L.E-RAB.Est.TimeAvg increases.
l L.E-RAB.Est.TimeMax increases.
l E-RAB Setup Success Rate decreases.
When this function is activated, it is recommended that the eNodeB be compatible with
reporting of compressed CA band combination fields. This compatibility is controlled by the
UeBandCombReducedR13Sw option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoExtSwitch
parameter.
NOTE
3GPP Release 13 has introduced the following IEs for compatibility with reporting of compressed CA
band combination fields:
l maximumCCsRetrieval-r13
l reducedIntNonContComb-r13
l skipFallbackCombinations-r13
l supportedBandCombinationReduced-r13
l requestReducedFormat-r13
l requestSkipFallbackComb-r13
l requestedMaxCCsDL-r13
l requestedMaxCCsUL-r13
l requestReducedIntNonContComb-r13
For details about these IEs, see section 5.6.3.3 in 3GPP TS 36.331 V13.1.0.
The following base station models do not support network-requested CA band combination
capability signaling:

eRAN
l BTS3203E
4.4 Configuration Modes

CA works in CA-group-based and adaptive configuration modes. The adaptive mode is
recommended.
CA-Group-based Configuration Mode

To enable CA-group-based configuration mode, deselect the FreqCfgSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter.
This mode requires that cells be configured into a CA group. Only the cells in the group can
be aggregated. Blind SCell configuration is supported in this mode. Figure 4-2 shows an
example.
Figure 4-2 CA-group-based configuration mode
If CA-group-based configuration mode is used, adhere to the following configuration rules:

l No more than nine cells can be configured into an FDD CA group. It is recommended
that the nine cells be inter-frequency cells that cover the same area. For any one of the
nine cells, there are eight candidate SCells.
l If the PCell is a higher-frequency cell that covers a relatively small area, it is
recommended that a lower-frequency cell covering a relatively large area be defined as a
blind-configurable candidate SCell. This prevents the CA UE in the higher-frequency
cell from performing an unnecessary inter-frequency measurement of the lower-
frequency cell, which will always meet the triggering condition for event A4.
l If the PCell is a lower-frequency cell that covers a relatively large area, it is
recommended that blind configuration be disabled (A4 measurements should be used)
for a higher-frequency cell that covers a relatively small area. If blind configuration is
enabled, a CA UE that has accessed the lower-frequency cell will encounter low
scheduling efficiency in the higher-frequency cell. In this case, the data rate of the CA
UE will not reach twice that of a non-CA UE even in differentiated scheduling mode.
l A maximum of 576 CaGroupSCellCfg MOs, which represent candidate SCells, can be
configured for a single eNodeB. Ensure that the candidate SCells are included in the
same CA group as the associated PCells. Otherwise, the candidate SCell configurations
will not take effect and will be regarded as invalid. Delete the invalid
CaGroupSCellCfg MOs, as these MOs represent wasted MO capacity.
l If the CaGroupSCellCfg.SpidGrpId parameter is set to a value other than 65535 for a
candidate SCell, this cell cannot be configured as an SCell for UEs in this subscriber
profile ID (SPID) group.
l For intra-frequency cells in a CA group:

eRAN
– A single value for the CaGroupCell.PreferredPCellPriority parameter for all these

cells is recommended. If the intra-frequency cells are assigned different PCell
priorities, the eNodeB takes the highest one of the priorities as the priority for all
these cells.
– A single value for the CaGroupSCellCfg.SpidGrpId parameter for all these cells is
recommended.
CA licenses are checked when CA is working in CA-group-based configuration mode. If the
license for any CA feature is found to be insufficient, this feature does not take effect for any
of the cells in the CA group, and the eNodeB reports ALM-26819 Data Configuration
Exceeding Licensed Limit.
If any CA license becomes insufficient after cells are added to a CA group, the relevant
feature does not take effect for this new CA group, and the eNodeB reports ALM-26819 Data
Configuration Exceeding Licensed Limit. However, features still work in the cells in the
original CA group.
Adaptive Configuration Mode

To enable adaptive configuration mode, select both the FreqCfgSwitch and AdpCaSwitch
options of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter.
This mode requires that different E-UTRA frequencies with neighbor relationships be
specified on the eNodeBs. Only cells on these frequencies can be aggregated. Blind SCell
configuration is also supported in this mode. Figure 4-3 shows an example network.
Figure 4-3 Adaptive configuration
If adaptive configuration mode is used, adhere to the following configuration rules:

l No more than 9 PCC frequencies can be configured on an eNodeB. For each PCC
frequency, a total of 16 SCC frequencies can be specified, but no more than 8 of these
SCC frequencies can be specified for each operator.
l If the SccFreqCfg.SpidGrpId parameter is set to a value other than 65535 for a
candidate SCC, this carrier cannot be configured as an SCC for UEs in this SPID group.
l On each candidate SCC, only one cell can be specified as a blind-configurable candidate
SCell. If there are multiple blind-configurable candidate SCells on a candidate SCC, only
one of them can take effect. It is uncertain which one will take effect. The cell that takes
effect shifts after eNodeB restart or cell deactivation. This shift will affect the CA UE
distribution.
l No more than 576 CaGroupSCellCfg MOs can be configured for a single eNodeB.
l A cell can work with a number of other cells for CA. Static routes are set up between
them so long as CaGroupSCellCfg MOs are configured. The Dl2CCAckResShareSw
option of the CellAlgoSwitch.PucchAlgoSwitch parameter determines the maximum
number of other cells.

eRAN
– If this option is selected, a cell can be associated with up to 24 other cells.

– If this option is deselected, a cell can be associated with up to 8 other cells.
When the number of CaGroupSCellCfg MOs has reached the maximum capacity (24 or
8), no more routes will be set up, including dynamic routes created based on A4 or A6
measurements. Therefore, no more SCells can be configured or changed to accompany a
PCell. The cells within the capacity are not necessarily active SCells. They may be
SCells configured but not activated, cells to which routes fail to be set up, or invalid
cells.
The routes consume the backplane bandwidth of each eNodeB, which is shared by all
features. If there is not enough backplane bandwidth, the routes will fail to be set up. If
three consecutive attempts to set up a route to a single cell fail because of insufficient
backplane bandwidth, the eNodeB prohibits the subsequent 30 attempts on the route to
this cell. This cell will not be configured as an SCell if route setup fails. As a result, the
value of the L.CA.DLSCell.Add.Att counter decreases, but the value of the
L.CA.DLSCell.Add.Succ counter is not affected.
Fixed routing does not introduce delay. To prevent excessive configurations, which
waste inter-board routing bandwidth, it is recommended that one static route be
configured for each cell for CA in adaptive configuration mode. Currently, there is no
check on the destination cell status of a route when the route is set up.
Dynamic routing, in either intra- or inter-eNodeB cases, causes certain delay in SCell
configuration.
4.5 Carrier Management for RRC_CONNECTED UEs

Carrier management for RRC_CONNECTED UEs includes PCC anchoring and SCell
management. SCell management includes SCell configuration, change, activation,
deactivation, and removal.
l PCC anchoring for RRC_CONNECTED UEs occurs when a CA UE accesses the
network at initial access, an incoming RRC connection reestablishment, or an incoming
necessary handover. For details, see 4.5.1 PCC Anchoring.
l SCell configuration occurs when a CA UE accesses the network at initial access, an
incoming RRC connection reestablishment, or an incoming necessary handover. For
details, see 4.5.2.1 SCell Configuration.
l If a CA UE whose SCell has been configured receives better signal quality from an intra-
frequency neighboring cell of the SCell than from the SCell, the serving eNodeB of the
PCell can change the SCell while keeping the PCell unchanged. For details, see 4.5.2.2
SCell Change.
l SCells configured for a CA UE are activated when certain conditions are met. The PCell
and SCells are not actually aggregated until the SCells are activated. For details, see
4.5.2.3 SCell Activation.
l If SCells meet deactivation conditions, the eNodeB delivers MAC control elements
(CEs) to deactivate the SCells. For details, see 4.5.2.4 SCell Deactivation.
l If SCell signal quality deteriorates, the eNodeB may remove the SCells. For details, see
4.5.2.5 SCell Removal.
4.5.1 PCC Anchoring

This section describes only the PCC anchoring function controlled by the
EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter.

eRAN
This option became the recommended switch over the PccAnchorSwitch option as early as in
eRAN11.1.
For details about the PCC anchoring function controlled by the PccAnchorSwitch option of
the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter, see Carrier Aggregation for eRAN8.1.
If both the PccAnchorSwitch and EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch options are selected, only the
EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch option takes effect.
To prioritize certain frequencies as PCCs, an operator can set high PCell priorities or PCC
priorities so that, by PCC anchoring for RRC_CONNECTED UEs, the eNodeB will select the
highest-priority cell as the PCell for a CA UE. (The PCell priorities are specified by the
CaGroupCell.PreferredPCellPriority parameter and required in CA-group-based
configuration mode. The PCC priorities are specified by the
PccFreqCfg.PreferredPccPriority parameter and required in adaptive configuration mode.)
PCC anchoring for RRC_CONNECTED UEs is controlled by the

EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter.
This function takes the load of candidate PCells into consideration if the HoAdmitSwitch
option of the CellMlbHo.MlbMatchOtherFeatureMode parameter is selected. If a candidate
PCell is in the high load state (as defined by the criteria described in Intra-RAT Mobility Load
Balancing), the eNodeB does not select this cell as the PCell.
For the triggering conditions of this function, see 4.5.1.1 Triggering Conditions. For the
procedure of this function, see 4.5.1.2 CA-Group-based PCC Anchoring Procedure and
4.5.1.3 Adaptive PCC Anchoring Procedure.
During PCC anchoring for RRC_CONNECTED UEs, PCell selections may take cell load or
duplex mode priorities into consideration.
NOTE
l When the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.FastEnhancePccAnchorSwitch parameter is set to ON, the eNodeB

directly delivers the A5-related inter-frequency measurement configuration for PCC anchoring to the
CA UE without performing SCell configuration or instructing the UE to perform A1 measurements,
if a PCell candidate is also a blind-configurable SCell candidate or all PCell candidates are working
on lower frequencies than the current serving cell. That is because, in this situation, there is a high
probability of successful inter-frequency measurements for PCC anchoring.
l Frequencies in bands 29, 32, 46, 67, 69, 75, and 76 cannot act as PCCs. For Band 29 cell parameter
settings, see Parameters Related to Cells in Special Bands in 5.4.1.1.3 Common Parameters.
l PCC anchoring is not initiated for high-mobility UEs.
l PCC anchoring for RRC_CONNECTED UEs is not recommended for LTE cells with
Cell.HighSpeedFlag set to HIGH_SPEED, ULTRA_HIGH_SPEED, or
EXTRA_HIGH_SPEED.
Load-based PCC Anchoring

When this function is enabled, intra- or inter-eNodeB cells with routes set up between them
exchange their load status. The eNodeB selects a low-load candidate cell as the PCell. (A cell
not in the high PCell load state is considered to be in the low load state.)
A cell is in the high PCell load state if the number of CA UEs that treat the cell as their PCell
(referred to as PCell-served UEs in this document for clarity) exceeds the maximum number
allowed (specified by CaMgtCfg.CellMaxPccNumber) times the offload threshold (specified
by CaMgtCfg.PccUserNumberOffloadThd).

eRAN
NOTE
If the CPU usage of a BBP reaches the threshold for flow control, the eNodeB performs flow control,
the first step of which is to prohibit new CA UEs from accessing cells on the BBP as their PCells.
Load-based PCC anchoring is an enhancement to PCC anchoring for RRC_CONNECTED

UEs. It requires PCC anchoring for RRC_CONNECTED UEs to be activated (as currently
recommended, by selecting the EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter.)
Load-based PCC anchoring is activated if the PccSmartCfgSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is selected.
For inter-eNodeB CA, these options must be selected for all of the eNodeBs involved. In
addition, eX2 interfaces must be set up for load information exchange between these
eNodeBs.
Load-based PCC anchoring introduces the following special handling to the basic procedures
described in 4.5.1.2 CA-Group-based PCC Anchoring Procedure and 4.5.1.3 Adaptive
PCC Anchoring Procedure:
l In CA-group-based configuration mode
The eNodeB can acquire the load status of candidate PCells in advance and therefore
instructs the UE to measure only the low-load candidate PCells. For a detailed
description of the procedure, see 4.5.1.2 CA-Group-based PCC Anchoring Procedure.
If all candidate PCells are in the high load state, the eNodeB performs CA-group-based
PCC anchoring for the UE without considering candidate cell loads.
l In adaptive configuration mode
There are two possible scenarios:
– The carrier that the CA UE is camping on has the highest PCC priority, and the
current serving cell of the UE is in the high load state.
The eNodeB checks whether there are candidate PCCs that have the same PCC
priority as the current carrier.
n If there are such candidate PCCs, the eNodeB delivers the A5 measurement
configuration, instructing the UE to measure them (at most three candidates in
a single configuration). After receiving a measurement report from the UE, the
eNodeB checks whether there are low-load cells on the candidate PCCs. If
there is a low-load cell, the eNodeB hands over the UE to this inter-frequency
cell.
n If there are no such candidate PCCs, no further adaptive PCC anchoring will
occur.
– A candidate PCC has a higher PCC priority than the carrier that the CA UE is
camping on, or multiple candidate PCCs have an identical PCC priority that is
higher than the priority of the current serving carrier.
The eNodeB delivers the A5 measurement configuration to the UE, instructing the
UE to measure the top-priority candidate PCCs (no more than three candidates in a
given configuration). After receiving a measurement report from the UE, the
eNodeB checks whether there are low-load cells on the candidate PCCs.
n If there is a low-load cell among cells on the candidate PCCs, the eNodeB
hands over the UE to this inter-frequency cell. If there are multiple low-load
cells, the eNodeB randomly selects one and hands over the UE to it.
n If there are no low-load cells on the top-priority candidate PCCs, the eNodeB
delivers another A5 measurement configuration to the UE, instructing the UE

eRAN
to measure the next-priority candidate PCCs. The eNodeB repeats the

preceding actions until it has tried all candidate PCCs with priorities at least as
high as the current serving carrier.
If the PCell load status of a candidate PCell changes, it takes several seconds for the new load
status to be exchanged between BBPs or eNodeBs for inter-BBP or inter-eNodeB CA. If
multiple UEs access the candidate PCell within a short time, the eNodeB may make an
incorrect decision on the load status before the status exchange is complete.
This function results in more time being spent on inter-frequency measurements during PCell
selection. Therefore, performance statistics indicate a decrease in the number of UEs that are
using CA.
Duplex-Mode-Priority-based PCC Anchoring

In FDD+TDD CA, either an FDD or a TDD carrier can serve as the PCC for a CA UE.
To prioritize FDD or TDD frequencies as PCCs for FDD+TDD CA, an operator can set high
priorities for desired duplex mode. The eNodeB will preferentially select cells in that duplex
mode as PCells for CA UEs during PCC anchoring procedures described in 4.5.1.2 CA-
Group-based PCC Anchoring Procedure and 4.5.1.3 Adaptive PCC Anchoring
Procedure.
The overall procedure for duplex-mode-priority-based PCC anchoring is as follows:
1. The eNodeB learns the UE capability.
– If the UE supports aggregation of only two FDD and TDD CCs, the eNodeB
preferentially evaluates cells or carriers in the duplex mode specified by the
CaMgtCfg.FTCA2CCAnchorPolicy parameter.
– If the UE supports aggregation of three or more FDD and TDD CCs, the eNodeB
preferentially evaluates cells or carriers in the duplex mode specified by the
CaMgtCfg.FTCAMultiCCAnchorPolicy parameter.
– If the UE does not support FDD+TDD CA, duplex-mode-priority-based PCC
anchoring does not take effect. For the PCC anchoring procedures, see 4.5.1.2 CA-
Group-based PCC Anchoring Procedure and 4.5.1.3 Adaptive PCC Anchoring
Procedure.
2. If it is not possible to select a PCell in the prioritized duplex mode, the eNodeB evaluates
cells in the other duplex mode.
For example, if FDD was prioritized by the operator but no FDD cell was able to be
selected as the PCell, the eNodeB would then evaluate TDD cells. If no suitable TDD
cell was selected as the PCell, the eNodeB would then evaluate FDD cells.
4.5.1.1 Triggering Conditions

After PCC anchoring for RRC_CONNECTED UEs is enabled and PCell priorities or PCC
priorities are specified, the eNodeB delivers the A1 measurement configuration to the CA UE
if the target cell for initial access, an RRC connection reestablishment, or a necessary
handover does not have the highest PCell priority or the carrier of the cell does not have the
highest PCC priority. (SCell configuration may occur before the UE reports event A1.) The
RSRP threshold for event A1 is specified by the
CaMgtCfg.EnhancedPccAnchorA1ThdRsrp parameter.
After receiving an A1 measurement report from the UE, the eNodeB checks the QoS class
identifiers (QCIs) of bearers and the evolved multimedia broadcast/multicast service

eRAN
(eMBMS) status for the UE. The eNodeB starts the PCC anchoring procedure if no bearer for
an eMBMS service has been established for the UE and either of the following conditions has
been fulfilled:
l No bearer with a QCI of 1 has been established for the UE. QCI 1 indicates a voice over
LTE (VoLTE) service or an emergency call.
l A bearer with a QCI of 1 has been established for the UE, and the
VolteSupportCaInterFreqMeasSw option of the CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch
parameter has been selected.
For the detailed PCC anchoring procedures, see 4.5.1.2 CA-Group-based PCC Anchoring
Procedure and 4.5.1.3 Adaptive PCC Anchoring Procedure.
In the current serving cell of a CA UE, PCC anchoring is triggered by event A1 and event A1
is reported only once.
The PCell of a CA UE cannot be deactivated or removed. It changes only during handovers.
4.5.1.2 CA-Group-based PCC Anchoring Procedure

Figure 4-4 shows the CA-group-based PCC anchoring procedure.

eRAN
Figure 4-4 CA-group-based PCC anchoring procedure
1. The eNodeB checks whether the current serving cell (for example, cell 1) has the highest
PCell priority, as specified by the CaGroupCell.PreferredPCellPriority parameter, of all
the cells in the CA group.
– If cell 1 has the highest PCell priority, the eNodeB retains cell 1 as the PCell for the
UE and does not perform further PCC anchoring.
– If cell 1 does not have the highest PCell priority, the eNodeB treats the cells that
have higher PCell priorities than cell 1 in the CA group as candidate PCells. The
eNodeB then arranges the candidates in descending order of PCell priority and goes
to the next step.
2. The eNodeB checks whether the UE is capable of working at the carrier frequency of the
top-priority candidate PCell (for example, cell 2).

eRAN
– The UE is capable of working at the carrier frequency of cell 2.

The eNodeB delivers the A5 measurement configuration, instructing the UE to
measure cell 2. The A5 measurement configuration varies depending on the
triggering quantity specified by the IntraRatHoComm.InterFreqHoA4TrigQuan
parameter. If multiple candidate PCells have the same PCell priority, the eNodeB
instructs the UE to measure all these cells. The eNodeB then processes only the first
A5 measurement report from the UE and ignores subsequent reports.
The triggering quantity parameter has the following values:
n RSRP: The A5 measurement configuration includes only an RSRP
configuration. The RSRP threshold for CA is specified by the
CaGroupCell.PCellA4RsrpThd parameter.
n RSRQ: The A5 measurement configuration includes only a reference signal
received quality (RSRQ) configuration. The RSRQ threshold for CA is
specified by the CaGroupCell.PCellA4RsrqThd parameter.
n BOTH: The A5 measurement configuration includes both RSRP and RSRQ
configurations. The UE sends an A5 measurement report to the eNodeB when
either the measured RSRP or RSRQ exceeds the specified threshold for CA.
– The UE is not capable of working at the carrier frequency of cell 2.
The eNodeB moves on to the next-priority candidate PCell.
3. After receiving an A5 measurement report containing cell 2, the eNodeB hands the UE
over to cell 2.
If CA configurations are absent or incorrect in the target eNodeB or if a data link fails to
be set up between cell 2 and candidate SCells, CA does not work after the handover to
cell 2.
If the eNodeB does not receive such an A5 report or if the handover to cell 2 fails, the
eNodeB deletes the A5 measurement configuration and evaluates the next-priority
candidate PCell in the same way.
If no candidate PCell can be selected as the PCell, the eNodeB terminates the PCC anchoring
procedure and cell 1 eventually serves the UE as its PCell.
4.5.1.3 Adaptive PCC Anchoring Procedure

Unlike CA-group-based PCC anchoring, adaptive PCC anchoring involves candidate PCCs
for which only frequency-level information is configured. Therefore, the eNodeB can
determine the PCell only after receiving A5 measurement reports from the CA UE.
Figure 4-5 shows the adaptive PCC anchoring procedure.

eRAN
Figure 4-5 Adaptive PCC anchoring procedure
1. The eNodeB checks whether the current serving carrier (for example, carrier 1) has the
highest PCC priority, as specified by the PccFreqCfg.PreferredPccPriority parameter,
of all the carriers identified by PccFreqCfg MOs.
– If carrier 1 has the highest PCC priority, the eNodeB retains the cell on carrier 1 as
the PCell for the UE and does not perform further PCC anchoring.
– If carrier 1 does not have the highest PCC priority, the eNodeB treats higher-priority
carriers as candidate PCCs for the UE, arranges them in descending order of PCC
priority, and goes to the next step.
2. The eNodeB checks whether the UE is capable of working at the top-priority candidate
PCC (for example, carrier 2).
– The UE is capable of working at carrier 2.

eRAN
The eNodeB delivers the A5 measurement configuration, instructing the UE to

measure carrier 2. The A5 measurement configuration varies depending on the
triggering quantity specified by the IntraRatHoComm.InterFreqHoA4TrigQuan
parameter. If multiple candidate PCCs have the same PCC priority, the eNodeB
instructs the UE to measure all these carrier frequencies. After receiving A5 reports,
the eNodeB selects only the first cell that meets PCC anchoring conditions from the
reported cells.
NOTE
If a candidate PCC is not accompanied by candidate SCCs, the eNodeB does not deliver A5
measurement configurations related to this candidate PCC.
The triggering quantity parameter has the following values:
n RSRP: The A5 measurement configuration includes only an RSRP
configuration. The RSRP threshold for CA is specified by the
PccFreqCfg.PccA4RsrpThd parameter.
It is recommended that the PccFreqCfg.PccA4RsrpThd parameter be set to a
value greater than the RSRP threshold for coverage-based inter-frequency
handovers (specified by the InterFreqHoGroup.InterFreqHoA4ThdRsrp
parameter), to prevent a decrease in the handover success rate.
n RSRQ: The A5 measurement configuration includes only an RSRQ
configuration. The RSRQ threshold for CA is specified by the
PccFreqCfg.PccA4RsrqThd parameter.
n BOTH: The A5 measurement configuration includes both RSRP and RSRQ
configurations. The UE sends an A5 measurement report to the eNodeB when
either the measured RSRP or RSRQ exceeds the specified threshold for CA.
– The UE is not capable of working at carrier 2.
The eNodeB moves on to the next-priority candidate PCC.
3. After the eNodeB receives an A5 measurement report containing a cell on carrier 2, the
eNodeB hands the UE over to the cell.
If CA configurations are absent or incorrect in the target eNodeB or if a data link fails to
be set up between the cell and candidate SCells, CA does not work after the handover to
that cell.
If the eNodeB does not receive such an A5 report or if the handover to the cell fails, the
eNodeB deletes the A5 measurement configuration and evaluates the next-priority
candidate PCC in the same way.
If no cells on the candidate PCCs meet the conditions for triggering event A5 or no inter-
frequency handover is successful, the eNodeB terminates the PCC anchoring procedure and
the cell on carrier 1 eventually serves the UE as its PCell.
4.5.2 SCell Management

SCell management includes SCell configuration, change, activation, deactivation, and
removal.
l SCell configuration is triggered when a CA UE initiates RRC connection setup during
initial access, an incoming RRC connection reestablishment, or an incoming handover.
For SCell configuration procedures, see 4.5.2.1 SCell Configuration.
l After an SCell is configured, it may be changed, activated, deactivated, or removed. For
details about these procedures, see 4.5.2.2 SCell Change, 4.5.2.3 SCell Activation,
4.5.2.4 SCell Deactivation, and 4.5.2.5 SCell Removal.

eRAN
Figure 4-6 shows the transitions between the SCell states.
Figure 4-6 SCell state transitions
4.5.2.1 SCell Configuration

To prioritize certain cells or frequencies as Sells or SCCs, an operator can set high SCell
priorities or SCC priorities so that, by SCell configuration, the eNodeB will select the highest-
priority cell as an SCell for a CA UE. The SCell priorities are specified by the
CaGroupSCellCfg.SCellPriority parameter and are required in CA-group-based
configuration mode. The SCC priorities are specified by the SccFreqCfg.SccPriority
parameter and are required in adaptive configuration mode.
For the triggering conditions of this function, see 4.5.2.1.1 Triggering Conditions. For the
procedure of this function, see 4.5.2.1.2 CA-Group-based SCell Configuration Procedure
and 4.5.2.1.3 Adaptive SCell Configuration Procedure.
During SCell configuration, SCell selections may take cell load into consideration.
Load-based SCell Configuration

This function can be used when there are more operating frequencies on a network than the
number of frequencies to be aggregated and at least two of those frequencies have the same
priority.
After this function is enabled, intra- or inter-eNodeB cells with routes set up between them
exchange their load status. The eNodeB checks the load status indicators of candidate SCells
and preferentially selects low-load cells as SCells.
Load-based SCell configuration is activated if the SccSmartCfgSwitch option of the

For inter-eNodeB CA, this option must be selected only for the serving eNodeB of the PCell.
The evaluation of load status indicators for candidate SCells varies depending on the setting
of CellMLB.MlbTriggerMode.

eRAN
l Set to PRB_ONLY
– High-load entering condition: physical resource block (PRB) usage ≥
CellMLB.InterFreqMLBThd + CellMLB.InterFreqOffloadOffset throughout 5s
– Low load condition: before the cell enters the high load state or after it exits the
high load state
High-load leaving condition: PRB usage < CellMLB.InterFreqMLBThd +
CellMLB.InterFreqOffloadOffset – CellMLB.LoadOffset throughout 5s
l Set to UE_NUMBER_ONLY
– High-load entering condition: Number of UEs in the cell ≥
CellMLB.InterFreqMlbUeNumThd + CellMLB.InterFrqUeNumOffloadOffset
throughout 5s
For the definition of the number of UEs in a cell, see Intra-RAT Mobility Load
Balancing.
– Low load condition: before the cell enters the high load state or after it exits the
high load state
High-load leaving condition: Number of UEs in the cell <
CellMLB.InterFreqMlbUeNumThd + CellMLB.InterFrqUeNumOffloadOffset
– CellMLB.MlbUeNumOffset throughout 5s
l Set to PRB_OR_UE_NUMBER
– A cell enters the high load state if it meets either of the following conditions
throughout 5s:
n PRB usage ≥ CellMLB.InterFreqMLBThd +
CellMLB.InterFreqOffloadOffset
n Number of UEs in the cell ≥ CellMLB.InterFreqMlbUeNumThd +
CellMLB.InterFrqUeNumOffloadOffset
– The cell is in the low load state if both of the following conditions are met:
n The cell meets the low load condition used when this parameter is set to
PRB_ONLY.
n The cell meets the low load condition used when this parameter is set to
UE_NUMBER_ONLY.
It is recommended that these parameters be set consistently for all of the cells on the network.
Load-based SCell configuration introduces special handling to the basic procedures described
in 4.5.2.1.2 CA-Group-based SCell Configuration Procedure and 4.5.2.1.3 Adaptive SCell
Configuration Procedure. The special handling varies depending on whether blind-
configurable candidate SCells have been set for the PCell of the CA UE:
l Blind-configurable candidate SCells have been set.
Blind SCell configuration takes place.
– If the number of blind-configurable candidate SCells under a given priority is
greater than the number of SCells to be configured, the eNodeB checks the load
status indicator of each candidate and delivers an RRC Connection Reconfiguration
message to preferentially configure low-load cells as SCells. If the candidates are in
the same load state (either high or low), the eNodeB randomly selects cells from
them as SCells.
– If the number of blind-configurable candidate SCells under a given priority is less
than or equal to the number of SCells to be configured, the eNodeB starts SCell
configuration without comparing the load states of the candidates.

eRAN
l Blind-configurable candidate SCells have not been set.

When there are multiple candidate SCells with the same priority, the eNodeB acts
differently depending on the number of these candidates:
– The number of these candidates is greater than the number of SCells to be
configured.
The eNodeB collects the measurement reports about all these candidates. (If the
eNodeB does not receive measurement reports about any cell on a frequency within
3s, it considers the UE to be outside of the coverage area of the frequency and
instructs the UE to stop the measurements.) The eNodeB then checks the load status
indicator of each candidate. Based on the load status indicators, the eNodeB
delivers an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to preferentially configure
low-load cells as SCells for the UE. This measurement-based SCell configuration
procedure has a longer delay than the blind SCell configuration procedure. If the
candidates are in the same load state (either high or low), the eNodeB selects the
cells with the greatest RSRP values as SCells.
– The number of these candidates is less than or equal to the number of SCells to be
configured.
The eNodeB does not check the load status indicators of candidates. Instead, it
starts configuring SCells upon receiving measurement reports.
This function increases the time required for inter-frequency measurements during SCell
selection. Therefore, performance statistics indicate a decrease in the number of UEs that are
using CA.
4.5.2.1.1 Triggering Conditions

An eNodeB starts SCell configuration for a CA UE if all the following conditions are met:
l The RRC connection of the UE has been set up in any of the following scenarios:
– Initial access
– Incoming RRC connection reestablishment
– Incoming handover
l Signaling radio bearer 2 (SRB2) and the default data radio bearer (DRB) have been set
up.
l The number of SCells for the UE has not reached the maximum allowed value.
l The UE is not running an emergency call.
The triggering of the SCell configuration procedure is dependent on the following factors:
l Setting of CaTrafficTriggerSwitch
This switch is an option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter.
– Selected
The SCell configuration procedure is triggered only when the traffic volume of the
CA UE meets the SCell activation conditions described in 4.5.2.3 SCell Activation.
That means blind SCell configuration does not take effect in this case.
– Deselected
The SCell configuration procedure is triggered when either an RRC connection is
set up or the traffic volume meets the SCell activation conditions described in
4.5.2.3 SCell Activation.
l Maximum permissible number of PCell-served UEs in the cell

eRAN
Figure 4-7 illustrates this function.
Figure 4-7 Control of the maximum permissible number of PCell-served UEs over SCell
configuration
After a CA UE accesses a cell (during initial access, an incoming RRC connection

reestablishment, or an incoming handover) and reports its CA capabilities to the eNodeB,
the eNodeB checks whether the number of PCell-served UEs in the cell has reached the
threshold specified by the CaMgtCfg.CellMaxPccNumber parameter.
– If the number has not reached the threshold, the eNodeB allows SCell configuration
for this UE.
– If the number has reached the threshold, the eNodeB prohibits SCell configuration
for this UE.
If a CA UE reverts to the single carrier state after the number of PCell-served UEs
reaches the threshold, the eNodeB does not immediately allow SCell configuration
for other UEs. Instead, the eNodeB allows SCell configuration for other UEs only
when the number of PCell-served UEs falls below 90% of the threshold.

eRAN
NOTE
l When comparing the number of UEs with the value of CaMgtCfg.CellMaxPccNumber, the
eNodeB does not consider the number of UEs that treat the cell as their SCell.
l When the value of CaMgtCfg.CellMaxPccNumber is decreased to less than the number of
PCell-served UEs that have been configured with SCells, the eNodeB does not take the
initiative to remove the SCells for the UEs.
l If the PCells of two CA UEs are working on the same frequency and with the same SCell, a
cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) collision may occur. To prevent abnormal
CA services, the eNodeB automatically changes the C-RNTI for one of the UEs.
l For a UE that supports FDD+TDD CA and is being served by a cell in one duplex mode, cells
in the other duplex mode can be configured as SCells if the UE allows the current serving cell
to act as the PCell, as indicated by tdd-FDD-CA-PCellDuplex-r12 in the PhyLayerParameters-
v12xy information element (IE) in the UE capability message.
If the UE does not allow the current serving cell to act as the PCell, operators can enable cells
in the other duplex mode to act as SCells by selecting the FddTddCaPcellDuplexFdd or
FddTddCaPcellDuplexTdd option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CompatibilityCtrlSwitch
parameter.
After CA groups (for CA-group-based configuration) or candidate PCCs and SCCs (for
adaptive configuration) are configured using MML commands, the eNodeB can configure
SCells for CA UEs that subsequently access the network, but not for CA UEs that had
accessed the network before the CA groups or candidate PCCs and SCCs were configured.
SCells can be configured for these UEs only if they access the network again or are handed
over.
If a cell that has been configured as an SCell for a CA UE in CA-group-based configuration
mode is deactivated and then activated again, the cell will not be configured as an SCell for
the UE again. This cell can be configured as an SCell for the UE only if the UE accesses the
network again or experiences a handover.
4.5.2.1.2 CA-Group-based SCell Configuration Procedure

CA-group-based SCell configuration can be used for uplink 2CC aggregation and for
downlink 2CC, 3CC, 4CC, or 5CC aggregation.
Uplink 2CC aggregation and downlink 2CC aggregation use the same SCell configuration
procedure. With both uplink and downlink 2CC aggregation enabled, in a single procedure,
the eNodeB configures an SCell for a CA UE for both uplink and downlink transmission. This
SCell is the first SCell configured if there are more CCs in the downlink than in the uplink.
Figure 4-8 uses uplink/downlink 2CC aggregation as an example to describe an SCell
configuration procedure. For downlink nCC aggregation, there are (n–1) candidate SCells in
a selection.
For aggregation of any number of CCs, if the number of successfully configured SCells is less
than the required number after all candidates have been tried, the SCell configuration
procedure ends. The eNodeB then periodically evaluates whether the downlink or uplink
traffic volume of the UE meets the SCell activation conditions, which are described in 4.5.2.3
SCell Activation. If the SCell activation conditions are met, the eNodeB performs an SCell
configuration procedure again, attempting to configure SCells. This periodic configuration
process continues until the number of successfully configured SCells reaches the required
number. The period is specified by the CaMgtCfg.SccCfgInterval parameter.

eRAN
Figure 4-8 CA-group-based SCell configuration procedure for uplink/downlink 2CC aggregation

eRAN
The eNodeB treats any cell that meets all the following conditions as a candidate SCell for the
PCell of a CA UE:
l The cell is in the same CA group as the PCell.
l The cell has not been configured as an SCell for the UE.
l The cell belongs to the public land mobile network (PLMN) serving the UE, or it
belongs to an equivalent PLMN.
The eNodeB arranges all candidate SCells in descending order of SCell priority (specified by
the CaGroupSCellCfg.SCellPriority parameter) and attempts to select a candidate SCell as
an SCell for the UE. Cells with the priority value of 0 cannot be configured as SCells.
The SCell configuration procedure varies depending on the parameter settings related to blind
SCell configuration.
l The SccBlindCfgSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is
selected, and the CaGroupSCellCfg.SCellBlindCfgFlag parameter is set to TRUE for a
top-priority candidate SCell.
The eNodeB does not send the A4 measurement configuration related to the operating
frequency of this candidate SCell. Instead, the eNodeB directly delivers an RRC
Connection Reconfiguration message to configure this candidate cell as an SCell for the
UE. If multiple candidate SCells have the same top SCell priority and have their blind
configuration flag set to TRUE, the eNodeB randomly selects one cell from these
candidate SCells and attempts to configure this cell as an SCell for the UE in a blind
manner.
– If the SCell is configured successfully, the SCell configuration procedure ends.
– If the SCell fails to be configured, the eNodeB evaluates next-priority candidate
SCells in the same way.
It is recommended that blind SCell configuration be enabled to have SCells quickly
configured.
l The SccBlindCfgSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is
deselected. Alternatively, the SccBlindCfgSwitch option is selected, but the
CaGroupSCellCfg.SCellBlindCfgFlag parameter is set to FALSE for all top-priority
candidate SCells.
The eNodeB does not support blind SCell configuration. In this situation, the eNodeB
delivers the A4 measurement configuration related to the operating frequencies of top-
priority candidate SCells. In the measurement configuration, the threshold for event A4
is the sum of CaMgtCfg.CarrAggrA4ThdRsrp and CaGroupSCellCfg.SCellA4Offset
configured on the PCell side, and the hysteresis is fixed at 1 dB. After receiving an A4
measurement report from the UE, the eNodeB determines whether to configure a
reported candidate cell as an SCell for the UE.
The configuration procedure is as follows:
a. The eNodeB delivers the A4 measurement configuration, instructing the UE to
measure all top-priority candidate SCells. In the measurement configuration, the
eNodeB may set up measurement gaps for the UE, depending on the inter-
frequency measurement capabilities reported by the UE.
n The UE requires measurement gaps.
○ The SCell configuration procedure ends if a bearer with QCI 1 has been
established for the UE and the VolteSupportCaInterFreqMeasSw
option of the CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter is deselected, or if
a bearer with QCI 65, 66, or an enhanced extended QCI has been
established for the UE.

eRAN
○ The eNodeB sets up measurement gaps in the measurement configuration

if a bearer with QCI 1 has been established for the UE and the
VolteSupportCaInterFreqMeasSw option of the
CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter is selected, or if no bearer with
QCI 1, 65, 66, or an enhanced extended QCI has been established for the
UE.
n The UE does not require measurement gaps.
The eNodeB does not set up measurement gaps in the measurement
configuration.
The AutoGapSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch parameter
affects the decision process of the inter-frequency measurement gap setup.
n If this option is selected, the eNodeB determines whether to set up the gaps
based on the reported UE capabilities.
n If this option is deselected, the eNodeB sets up the gaps, without considering
UE capabilities.
It is recommended that this option be deselected to ensure that only cells with
satisfactory signal quality can be configured as SCells.
After delivering the A4 measurement configuration related to candidate SCells to
the UE, the eNodeB may receive an A2 measurement report, indicating
unsatisfactory signal quality of the PCell, for an inter-frequency or inter-RAT
handover. In such a case, the eNodeB will not configure any candidate cell as an
SCell for the UE, even if the eNodeB later receives an A4 measurement report that
contains the candidate cell.
b. After receiving an A4 measurement report from the UE, the eNodeB checks the
cells contained in the report.
If the report contains a candidate SCell, the eNodeB sends an RRC Connection
Reconfiguration message to configure the cell as an SCell for the UE. If the SCell is
configured successfully, the procedure ends.
If the eNodeB does not receive a report that contains a candidate SCell or the SCell
fails to be configured, the eNodeB continues to evaluate next-priority candidate
SCells.
4.5.2.1.3 Adaptive SCell Configuration Procedure

Adaptive SCell configuration can be used for uplink 2CC aggregation and for downlink 2CC,
3CC, 4CC, or 5CC aggregation.
Uplink 2CC aggregation and downlink 2CC aggregation use the same SCell configuration
procedure. With both uplink and downlink 2CC aggregation enabled, in a single procedure,
the eNodeB configures an SCell for a CA UE for both uplink and downlink transmission. This
SCell is the first configured one among SCells in case the number of CCs in the downlink is
greater than that in the uplink.
SCell Configuration Procedure

Figure 4-9 uses uplink/downlink 2CC aggregation as an example to describe an SCell
configuration procedure. For downlink nCC aggregation, there are (n–1) candidate SCells in
a selection.
For aggregation of any number of CCs, if the number of successfully configured SCells is less
than the required number after all candidates have been tried, the SCell configuration

eRAN
procedure ends. The eNodeB then periodically evaluates whether the downlink or uplink
traffic volume of the UE meets the SCell activation conditions, which are described in 4.5.2.3
SCell Activation. If the SCell activation conditions are met, the eNodeB performs an SCell
configuration procedure again, attempting to configure SCells. This periodic configuration
process continues until the number of successfully configured SCells reaches the required
number. The period is specified by the CaMgtCfg.SccCfgInterval parameter.

eRAN
Figure 4-9 Adaptive SCell configuration procedure for uplink/downlink 2CC aggregation
From the carriers defined in the SccFreqCfg MOs for the PCC of a CA UE, the eNodeB
selects carriers depending on whether operator information has been specified:
l Operator information has been specified (by the SccFreqCfg.CnOperatorList
parameter) for any of these carriers.

eRAN
The eNodeB selects the carriers used by the operator that is serving the UE.
Among the selected carriers, the eNodeB treats those that have not been configured as
SCCs for the UE and are supported by the UE for CA as candidate SCCs. The eNodeB
then arranges all candidate SCCs in descending order of SCC priority (specified by the
SccFreqCfg.SccPriority parameter) and attempts to select a cell on a candidate SCC as
an SCell for the UE, as described in the follow-up procedure.
l No operator information has been specified for any of these carriers.
The eNodeB treats those that have not been configured as SCCs for the UE and are
supported by the UE for CA as candidate SCCs. The eNodeB then arranges all candidate
SCCs in descending order of SCC priority and attempts to select a cell on a candidate
SCC as an SCell for the UE, as described in the follow-up procedure.
1. The eNodeB checks whether a blind-configurable candidate cell (with
CaGroupSCellCfg.SCellBlindCfgFlag set to TRUE) on the top-priority candidate SCC
has been specified for the PCell of the UE.
– Such a cell has been specified.
The eNodeB delivers an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to configure
this cell as an SCell for the UE, without delivering measurement configurations.
NOTE
If there are multiple blind-configurable candidate SCells on different candidate SCCs, the
eNodeB randomly selects one to configure as an SCell.
– No such cell has been specified or the blind configuration fails.
The eNodeB delivers the A4 measurement configuration, as described in the next
step. In the measurement configuration, the threshold for event A4 is equal to
CaMgtCfg.CarrAggrA4ThdRsrp plus SccFreqCfg.SccA4Offset configured on the
PCC side, and the hysteresis is fixed at 1 dB. If multiple candidate SCCs have the
same priority, the eNodeB will perform the subsequent steps on all candidates.
2. The eNodeB delivers the A4 measurement configuration, instructing the UE to measure
the candidate SCC. In addition, the eNodeB may set up measurement gaps for the UE,
depending on the inter-frequency measurement capabilities reported by the UE.
– The UE requires measurement gaps.
n The SCell configuration procedure ends if a bearer with QCI 1 has been
established for the UE and the VolteSupportCaInterFreqMeasSw option of
the CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter is deselected, or if a bearer with
QCI 65, 66, or an enhanced extended QCI has been established for the UE.
n The eNodeB sets up measurement gaps in the measurement configuration if a
bearer with QCI 1 has been established for the UE and the
VolteSupportCaInterFreqMeasSw option of the
CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter is selected, or if no bearer with QCI
1, 65, 66, or an enhanced extended QCI has been established for the UE.

eRAN
NOTE
l If no neighboring cell has been configured on the candidate SCC, the eNodeB sets
up measurement gaps in the measurement configuration only if all the following
options are selected: CaBasedEventAnrSwitch and IntraRatEventAnrSwitch
options of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.AnrSwitch parameter, CaAnrGapOptSwitch
option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoExtSwitch parameter, and
INTRA_RAT_ANR_SW option of the CellAlgoSwitch.AnrFunctionSwitch
parameter.
l For adaptive configuration of inter-eNodeB SCells in a relaxed backhaul scenario,
during initial configuration at the local eNodeB, the control-plane link and user-
plane path are set up and checked for the eX2 or X2 interface between the
eNodeBs and information is exchanged between the PCell and the candidate SCell.
This takes a longer time than intra-eNodeB CA. Furthermore, the SCell cannot be
configured using a single round of gap-assisted measurements. Therefore, the
eNodeB instructs this UE to perform two rounds of gap-assisted measurements.
The first round is used for eX2 or X2 setup and check as well as information
exchange between the PCell and the candidate SCell. The second round is used for
SCell configuration. The interval between the two rounds is determined by the
CaMgtCfg.SccCfgInterval parameter.
After the eX2 or X2 interface is set up, the eNodeB sets a default delay, which is
less than 4 ms. It takes 8s to finish the measurement of the actual delay. If the
actual delay is longer than the default delay, there is no traffic of the UE in the
SCell during delay measurement. The SCell traffic of the UE will return to normal
after the delay measurement.
After the eX2 or X2 interface is set up, the eNodeB instructs subsequent CA UEs
to perform only one round of gap-assisted measurements during SCell
configuration.
– The UE does not require measurement gaps.
The eNodeB does not set up measurement gaps in the measurement configuration.
The AutoGapSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch parameter
affects the decision process of the inter-frequency measurement gap setup.
– If this option is selected, the eNodeB determines whether to set up the gaps based
on the reported UE capabilities.
– If this option is deselected, the eNodeB sets up the gaps, without considering UE
capabilities.
It is recommended that this option be deselected to ensure that only cells with
satisfactory signal quality can be configured as SCells.
After delivering the A4 measurement configuration related to the candidate SCC to the
UE, the eNodeB may receive an A2 measurement report, indicating unsatisfactory signal
quality of the PCell, for an inter-frequency or inter-RAT handover. In such a case, the
eNodeB will not configure any cell on the candidate SCC as an SCell for the UE, even if
the eNodeB later receives an A4 measurement report containing that cell.
3. After receiving an A4 measurement report that contains cells on the candidate SCC, the
eNodeB selects the reported cells that belong to the serving PLMN of the UE or an
equivalent PLMN as candidate SCells. The eNodeB then arranges the candidate SCells
in descending order of RSRP and acts depending on whether a data link can be set up:
– The PCell can set up a data link to the top-priority candidate SCell.
The eNodeB sends an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to configure the
candidate cell as an SCell for the UE. If the SCell is configured successfully, the
procedure ends. If the SCell fails to be configured, the eNodeB tries the next-
priority candidate SCell.

eRAN
– The PCell cannot set up a data link to the top-priority candidate SCell.
The eNodeB tries the next-priority candidate SCell.
If none of the candidate SCells can be configured as an SCell for the UE, the
subsequent procedure depends on the MultiCarrierFlexCaSwitch option setting of
the CAMGTCFG.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter.
n If this option is selected, the eNodeB evaluates the next-priority candidate
SCC.
n If this option is deselected, the SCell configuration procedure ends.
Enhanced SCell Selection

Enhanced SCell selection is used to select better SCells for CA UEs that are moving from the
cell edge towards the cell center in multi-band same-coverage scenarios. If a better serving
cell combination becomes available for a UE, the UE may also be handed over to the new
PCell.
Enhanced SCell selection is enabled when both of the following conditions are met:
l The CaSmartSelectionSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch
parameter and the MultiCarrierFlexCaSwitch option of the
CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter are selected.
l The CaMgtCfg.EnhancedSccSelA1ThldRsrp parameter, which specifies the threshold
for event A1, is set to a value other than –40 dBm.
If enhanced SCell selection is enabled, the eNodeB evaluates whether the current serving cell
combination of a CA UE is the most appropriate for the UE when the UE accesses a served
cell during initial access, an incoming RRC connection reestablishment, or an incoming
necessary handover. If it is not, the eNodeB delivers an A1 measurement configuration related
to the PCell to the UE. After receiving an A1 measurement report from the UE, the eNodeB
initiates an enhanced SCell selection procedure, selecting a better serving cell combination for
the UE.
This procedure is triggered only once for the UE in its PCell, because the UE sends only one
A1 report to the eNodeB.
Figure 4-10 illustrates the enhanced SCell selection procedure.

eRAN
Figure 4-10 Enhanced SCell selection procedure

eRAN
1. After receiving the A1 measurement report from the UE, the eNodeB searches for
serving cell combinations that are better than the current combination. The eNodeB then
sends the UE the measurement configurations that include the operating frequencies of
the better combinations. The method of finding better combinations is the same as
intelligent selection of serving cell combinations described in 10 Flexible CA.
2. The eNodeB starts a 3-second timer. If the UE sends an A4 measurement report before
the timer expires and the report contains all the cells in the optimal combination, the
eNodeB stops the timer and inter-frequency measurements. If the eNodeB has not
received such a report when the timer expires, it stops the inter-frequency measurements.
3. The eNodeB selects the PCell and SCells in the best combination among the reported
ones as target PCell and SCells. If the target PCell is different from the current PCell, the
eNodeB performs a handover to change the PCell. If the target PCell is the same as the
current PCell but a target SCell is different from the current SCells, the eNodeB changes
the SCell. If the target PCell and SCells are the same as the current ones, the eNodeB
retains them.
If PCC anchoring for RRC_CONNECTED UEs (controlled by the

EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter)
and enhanced SCell selection are both enabled, the eNodeB sends the UE the A1
measurement configuration related to enhanced SCell selection first. The eNodeB delivers the
A1 measurement configuration related to this PCC anchoring function only after enhanced
SCell selection is finished. It is recommended that, when both functions are enabled, the A1
threshold for enhanced SCell selection (specified by the
CaMgtCfg.EnhancedSccSelA1ThldRsrp parameter) be lower than the A1 threshold for the
PCC anchoring function (specified by the CaMgtCfg.EnhancedPccAnchorA1ThdRsrp
parameter). For the detailed procedure of the PCC anchoring function, see 4.5.1.3 Adaptive
PCC Anchoring Procedure.
4.5.2.2 SCell Change

If a CA UE whose SCells have been configured receives better signal quality from an intra-
frequency neighboring cell of an SCell than from that SCell, the serving eNodeB of the PCell
can change the SCell without changing the PCell. Figure 4-11 illustrates this function.
Figure 4-11 SCell change
This function is controlled by the SccModA6Switch option of the

It is recommended that this function be always activated.

eRAN
eNodeBs do not consider the load status indicators of candidate SCells during A6-based SCell
changes. For details about the load status indicators for candidate SCells, see Load-based
SCell Configuration in 4.5.2.1 SCell Configuration.
CA-Group-based SCell Change

If the SCell change function has been activated and cells on the same frequency are included
in a CA group, the eNodeB sends an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to a CA UE
after configuring one of the cells as an SCell for that UE. This message contains an A6
measurement configuration related to this SCell. The offset for event A6 is specified by the
CaMgtCfg.CarrAggrA6Offset parameter configured on the PCell side.
After receiving an A6 measurement report from the CA UE, the eNodeB evaluates the
reported cells in the CA group and selects the one with the highest RSRP value. The eNodeB
then sends an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to change the SCell to the selected
cell. If the SCell change fails, the eNodeB selects the cell with the next highest RSRP value
among the reported cells and makes another SCell change attempt.
Adaptive SCell Change

If the SCell change function has been activated, the eNodeB sends an RRC Connection
Reconfiguration message to a CA UE after configuring SCells for the UE. The message
contains an A6 measurement configuration related to each SCC of the UE. The offset for
event A6 is specified by the CaMgtCfg.CarrAggrA6Offset parameter configured on the
PCell side.
After receiving an A6 measurement report related to an SCell (for example, cell 1) from the
UE, the eNodeB arranges the reported candidate SCells in descending order of RSRP and
proceeds as follows:
l If the PCell can set up a data link to the top-priority candidate SCell (for example, cell
2), the eNodeB sends an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to change the SCell
from cell 1 to cell 2 for the UE.
l If the PCell cannot set up a data link to cell 2, the eNodeB tries the next-priority
candidate SCell.
If the PCell cannot set up a data link to any candidate SCell, the eNodeB does not change the
SCell for the UE.
4.5.2.3 SCell Activation

In accordance with section 6.1.3.8 "Activation/Deactivation MAC Control Element" in 3GPP
TS 36.321 V11.1.0, the eNodeB delivers a MAC CE to activate a configured SCell as long as
either uplink or downlink traffic volume meets the activation conditions. The CCs are not
actually aggregated for the UE until the SCell is activated. Figure 4-12 illustrates SCell
activation.

eRAN
Figure 4-12 SCell activation
If the CaInstantlyJudgeSwitch option of the CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter is

selected, the eNodeB uses instantaneous, millisecond-level values to evaluate traffic volume
conditions for SCell activation. If this option is deselected, the eNodeB uses filtered second-
level values to evaluate the traffic volume conditions for SCell activation.
l When a CA UE is configured with only downlink CCs, the eNodeB evaluates only
downlink traffic volume.
The eNodeB determines that the CA UE has met the downlink traffic volume
requirements when both of the following conditions are fulfilled:
– Data volume buffered at the RLC layer > max (Uu data rate at the RLC layer x
CaMgtCfg.ActiveBufferDelayThd, CaMgtCfg.ActiveBufferLenThd)
– Delay of the first RLC protocol data unit (PDU) >
CaMgtCfg.ActiveBufferDelayThd
l When a CA UE is configured with uplink CCs, the eNodeB evaluates both uplink and
downlink traffic volume.
The eNodeB determines that the CA UE has met the uplink traffic volume requirements
when both of the following conditions are fulfilled:
– The reported uplink buffer status is greater than the threshold specified by the
CaMgtCfg.ActiveBufferLenThd parameter throughout the period specified by the
CaMgtCfg.UlCaActiveTimeToTrigger parameter.
– Transmission time interval (TTI) bundling does not take effect for the CA UE in the
uplink.
If uplink (instead of downlink) traffic volume meets the activation conditions, the
eNodeB activates only the SCell that has been configured for the uplink. SCells
configured only for the downlink are not activated in this situation.
NOTE
If the CaMgtCfg.ActiveBufferLenThd parameter is set to 0:

l If an SCell has been configured for a CA UE, the eNodeB activates the SCell as long as the
eNodeB prepares to send data to the CA UE. However, if the traffic volume of the UE is low, the
eNodeB deactivates the SCell (because the deactivation condition is met) immediately after it
activates the SCell for the UE. The number of UEs with SCells activated on the affected BBP
increases, and the BBP is likely to enter flow control due to heavy load. This affects LTE UE
access or other LTE services.
l If no SCell has been configured for a CA UE, the eNodeB repeatedly attempts to configure an
SCell without considering CaMgtCfg.SccCfgInterval when the eNodeB prepares to send data to
the UE. This consumes a large amount of radio resources.
To ensure synchronization between the UE and the eNodeB, SCells are activated on the UE
and eNodeB sides simultaneously. If the eNodeB sends a MAC CE for SCell activation to the

eRAN
UE in subframe n, then the SCell is activated on the UE and eNodeB sides in subframe (n +
x). The value of x is stipulated by physical layer protocols.
l For FDD, x is equal to 8.
4.5.2.4 SCell Deactivation

SCell deactivation for CA UEs, as illustrated in Figure 4-13, can be triggered by:
l Traffic volume
l Channel quality
l Residual block errors
Figure 4-13 SCell deactivation
Traffic Volume–triggered SCell Deactivation

This function takes effect when the CaMgtCfg.CarrierMgtSwitch parameter is set to ON on
the PCell side.
With this function enabled:
l For a UE with SCells activated in the downlink:
The eNodeB delivers a MAC CE to deactivate all these SCells when each E-UTRAN
radio access bearer (E-RAB) of the UE meets both of the following downlink traffic
volume conditions:
– Uu data rate at the RLC layer ≤ CaMgtCfg.DeactiveThroughputThd
– Data volume buffered at the RLC layer ≤ CaMgtCfg.DeactiveBufferLenThd
l For a UE with an SCell activated in the uplink:
The eNodeB delivers a MAC CE to deactivate the SCell only when both the uplink and
downlink traffic volumes meet their respective conditions. When only the downlink
traffic volume meets the deactivation conditions, the eNodeB sends a MAC CE to
deactivate all downlink-only SCells for the UE.
The following are the uplink traffic volume conditions, which must be both fulfilled:
– Data size indicated in the buffer status report (BSR) from the CA UE ≤
CaMgtCfg.DeactiveBufferLenThd
– Uplink Uu data rate of the UE at the RLC layer ≤
CaMgtCfg.DeactiveThroughputThd
It is recommended that CaMgtCfg.DeactiveBufferLenThd be less than
CaMgtCfg.ActiveBufferLenThd.
If the CaTrafficTriggerSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter
is selected for the serving eNodeB of the PCell, the eNodeB sends an RRC Connection

eRAN
Reconfiguration message to remove SCells immediately after deactivating these SCells based
on the traffic volume.
Channel Quality–triggered SCell Deactivation

This function is recommended when blind SCell configuration is enabled or A2 measurement
is disabled. In such scenarios, the channel quality indicator (CQI) for SCells will be low when
CA UEs are located in weak coverage areas or are experiencing strong interference. The low
CQI will cause a decrease in Cell Downlink Average Throughput and an increase in the
number of RRC connection reestablishments, the uplink and downlink initial block error rate
(IBLER) values, the packet loss rate, and the service drop rate.
This function takes effect when the CaMgtCfg.CarrierMgtSwitch parameter is set to ON on
the PCell side.
Before enabling this function, ensure that the CaSccSuspendSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter has been deselected.
l In a non-relaxed backhaul scenario:
The eNodeB sends a MAC CE to deactivate an SCell for a CA UE when the spectral
efficiency corresponding to the SCell's CQI reported by the UE falls below the Release 8
spectral efficiency corresponding to the CaMgtCfg.SccDeactCqiThd parameter value
specified for the SCell in single-codeword transmission.
If CaMgtCfg.SccDeactCqiThd is set to 0 for the SCell, the serving eNodeB of the PCell
does not deactivate the SCell based on channel quality.
l In a relaxed backhaul scenario:
The eNodeB sends a MAC CE to deactivate an SCell for a CA UE when the spectral
efficiency corresponding to the SCell's CQI reported by the UE falls below the Release 8
spectral efficiency corresponding to the CaMgtCfg.RelaxedBHSccDeactCqiThd
parameter value specified for the SCell in single-codeword transmission.
If CaMgtCfg.RelaxedBHSccDeactCqiThd is set to 0 for the SCell, the serving eNodeB
of the PCell does not deactivate the SCell based on channel quality.
After an SCell is deactivated based on channel quality, the CA UE no longer reports the
SCell's CQI to the eNodeB. The eNodeB may subsequently activate the SCell based on traffic
volume. The CaMgtCfg.SccReActivationTime parameter can be used to prevent excessively
frequent SCell activation and deactivation. This parameter specifies the minimum interval
between SCell deactivation and traffic-volume-based reactivation. This parameter is PCell-
specific. It takes effect in the PCell, which makes activation decisions.
After deactivating an SCell based on channel quality, the serving eNodeB of the PCell does
not immediately remove this SCell, regardless of whether the CaTrafficTriggerSwitch
option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is selected.
Residual Block Error–triggered SCell Deactivation

l In the downlink:
When an eNodeB detects that the residual block errors in an SCell for a CA UE have
reached a certain level, the eNodeB delivers a MAC CE to deactivate the SCell.
l In the uplink:
The eNodeB delivers a MAC CE to deactivate an SCell for a CA UE either based on the
SCell activation status consistency or based on residual block errors in the SCell,

eRAN
depending on the setting of the SccDeactByUlDtxSwitch option of the

ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoExtSwitch parameter:
– If this option is selected, the eNodeB delivers a MAC CE when it detects that the
eNodeB-maintained SCell activation status is different from the actual status.
– If this option is deselected, the eNodeB delivers a MAC CE when it detects that the
residual block errors in the SCell have reached a certain level.
NOTE
l To enable eNodeBs to detect the actual SCell activation status, operators must select the
SccDeactByUlDtxSwitch option for each eNodeB involved in CA. If operators select this
option only for the serving eNodeB of the PCell or an SCell, the probability of successfully
detecting activation status inconsistency decreases.
l Operators are advised to select the SccDeactByUlDtxSwitch option in scenarios other than
high uplink load. If this option is selected in high uplink load scenarios, the data rates in SCells
will drop.
4.5.2.5 SCell Removal

To have SCells removed when their signal quality degrades, enable the SCell removal
function.
This function is controlled by the SccA2RmvSwitch option of the
When an SCell meets the triggering condition of event A2, the serving eNodeB of the PCell
removes the SCell. Figure 4-14 illustrates this function.

state, the UE will be served by (m–n) carriers.
NOTE
When a bearer for an emergency call or with QCI 1, 65, 66, or an enhanced extended QCI is set up for a
CA UE whose SCells have been configured, the eNodeB does not remove the SCells.

eRAN
CA-Group-based SCell Removal

l If an SCell has been configured for a CA UE based on A4 measurements, the eNodeB
sends the A2 measurement configuration related to the SCell to the UE. The threshold
for event A2 is equal to CaMgtCfg.CarrAggrA2ThdRsrp plus
CaGroupSCellCfg.SCellA2Offset configured on the PCell side. The hysteresis is fixed
at 1 dB. After receiving an A2 measurement report that contains the SCell, the eNodeB
sends an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to remove the SCell.
l If an SCell has been configured for a CA UE in a blind manner, the eNodeB checks the
SCellBlindA2Switch setting of the
GLOBALPROCSWITCH.ProtocolCompatibilitySW parameter before making a
measurement configuration delivery decision. The eNodeB sends the A2 measurement
configuration to the UE only if the SCellBlindA2Switch option is selected. The
threshold for event A2 takes the 3GPP-defined minimum value –140 dBm. After
receiving an A2 measurement report that contains the SCell, the eNodeB sends an RRC
Connection Reconfiguration message to remove the SCell.
NOTE
In CA-group-based configuration mode, the following setting constraint applies: The threshold for event
A4 must be higher than the threshold for event A2. In addition, only the values in the range of [–143, –
43] take effect for both thresholds.
Adaptive SCell Removal

If this function is enabled, the eNodeB delivers the A2 measurement configuration to a CA
UE after configuring an SCell for the UE based on A4 measurements or in a blind manner.
After receiving an A2 measurement report that contains the SCell, the eNodeB sends an RRC
Connection Reconfiguration message to remove the SCell.
The eNodeB determines the threshold for event A4 and that for event A2 as follows:
l Threshold for event A4 = CaMgtCfg.CarrAggrA4ThdRsrp + SccFreqCfg.SccA4Offset.
If the sum is greater than –43 dBm or less than –140 dBm, the threshold takes the
value –43 dBm or –140 dBm, respectively.
l Threshold for event A2 = CaMgtCfg.CarrAggrA2ThdRsrp + SccFreqCfg.SccA2Offset.
If the sum is greater than –43 dBm or less than –140 dBm, the threshold takes the
value –43 dBm or –140 dBm, respectively.
Note that the hysteresis for event A2 is fixed at 1 dB.
The threshold for event A4 must be higher than the threshold for event A2. If the threshold for
event A4 is not higher than that for event A2 and the SccA2RmvSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is selected, the eNodeB will remove an SCell
for a CA UE based on event A2 immediately after having configured it. Then, if the traffic
volume of the UE meets the SCell activation conditions throughout a certain period of time,
the eNodeB configures the same SCell again. The SCell is configured and removed
repeatedly.
If the CaSmartSelectionSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter
is selected and the CaMgtCfg.FastScellSelAftScellRmvSw parameter is set to ON, the
eNodeB performs an SCell configuration procedure immediately after all SCells are removed
for a CA UE based on coverage conditions, increasing the CA UE throughput. This procedure
is the same as the adaptive SCell configuration procedure that occurs when the
CaSmartSelectionSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is
selected.

eRAN
4.6 Carrier Management for RRC_IDLE UEs

If the IdleModePccAnchorSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch
parameter is selected, the eNodeB performs the procedure of PCC anchoring for RRC_IDLE
UEs when the RRC connections of CA UEs are released normally. (This does not occur at
abnormal RRC connection releases, for example, due to S1 faults, an eNodeB overload, or an
MME overload.)
The procedure varies with priority settings:
l SPID- or operator-specific cell-reselection priorities are configured.
The eNodeB includes the configured priorities in the idleModeMobilityControlInfo IE of
the RRC Connection Release message.
l Neither SPID- nor operator-specific cell-reselection priorities are configured.
– If both PCell/PCC priorities and common cell-reselection priorities are specified,
the eNodeB performs PCC anchoring as follows:
i. The eNodeB generates a PCC anchor frequency list for an RRC connection
release. This list is based on the band combinations supported by the CA UE
and PCell/PCC priorities. In the list, these band combinations are arranged in
descending order of PCell/PCC priority.
If duplex-mode-based PCC anchoring is enabled, duplex mode priorities take
precedence over PCell/PCC priorities when the eNodeB arranges the band
combinations in the list.
ii. The eNodeB includes the list in the idleModeMobilityControlInfo IE of an
RRC Connection Release message and, in that message, sets the length of
timer T320 to a fixed value of 180 minutes.
iii. The eNodeB sends the message to the UE, instructing the UE to camp in the
specified frequency band.
In case certain frequencies with common cell-reselection priorities are not assigned
PCell/PCC priorities by operators, these frequencies are appended to those with
PCell/PCC priorities and arranged in descending order of common cell-reselection
priority.
For the parameters that specify common cell-reselection priorities, see Idle Mode
Management.
– If only PCell/PCC priorities or common cell-reselection priorities are specified, the
eNodeB performs the preceding PCC anchoring procedure with the PCC anchor
frequency list including only the candidate frequencies assigned the priorities and
supported by the UE.
– If neither PCell/PCC priorities nor common cell-reselection priorities are specified,
or if the UE does not support any candidate frequencies, the eNodeB does not
perform the preceding PCC anchoring procedure.

5.2 Network Analysis
5.2.1 Benefits
This function enables CA UEs to reach higher downlink peak data rates.
Table 5-2 lists the theoretical peak data rates that a CA UE can reach using downlink 2CC
aggregation.
For FDD, these values assume a TBS suitable for the 20 MHz cell bandwidth (equivalent to
100 RBs in the frequency domain).
Table 5-2 Theoretical peak data rates for downlink 2CC aggregation (unit: Mbit/s)
RAT 2x2 MIMO 2x2 MIMO 4x4 MIMO 4x4 MIMO
+ 64QAM + 256QAM + 64QAM + 256QAM
FDD 299.6 391.6 599.7 783.3
The peak data rate that CA can achieve for a CA UE is subject to the peak data rate capability
of the board where the PCell for the CA UE is located. For example, if the PCell of a CA UE
is served by an LBBPd1 board that supports a downlink peak data rate of 450 Mbit/s, the peak
data rate that CA can achieve for the CA UE will not exceed 450 Mbit/s in the downlink. In
addition, if the UE capability is limited, the actual peak rates will be lower than the theoretical
values. The UE capability is indicated by ue-categoryDL. For details, see section 4.1A "ue-
CategoryDL and ue-CategoryUL" in 3GPP TS 36.306 V15.2.0.
5.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
This function has the following impacts on the network:
l System capacity
A CA UE with SCells configured has only one RRC connection to the network. It
consumes one sales unit of the license for the number of RRC_CONNECTED UEs.

eRAN
However, the CA UE consumes a hardware resource unit in each of its serving cells. In
an extreme case with nCC aggregation for all UEs on the network, the maximum number
of UEs that can access the network decreases to 1/n (n is an integer.) When all hardware
resources are used, the eNodeB preferentially releases CA UEs in their SCells to
maximize the number of UEs that can access the network.
l Resource usage
– Physical resource block (PRB) usage
n Overall PRB usage of the entire network
In commercial networks, most services on CA UEs are burst services, and
there is little probability that PRBs in all CCs of a UE will be exhausted
simultaneously. When CA is enabled, cell load can be rapidly balanced
through carrier management and scheduling, utilizing idle resources and
increasing the overall PRB usage of the network.
n PRB usage of SCells
If the Dl2CCAckResShareSw option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.PucchAlgoSwitch parameter is selected, more UEs on the
network enter the CA state but the user-perceived data rates of CA UEs
decrease. In addition, due to possible errors in the estimated scheduling
priorities of CA UEs, the PRBs in SCells for the UEs may not be fully utilized
when the SCells are each serving a small number of non-CA UEs and the non-
CA UE traffic is light.
– SRI period
It is recommended that the SriPeriodCfgOptSW option of the
CellPucchAlgo.SriAlgoSwitch parameter be selected. If it is deselected, the SRI
period may be prolonged, and the RAB setup success rate and the service drop rate
may deteriorate.
– PUCCH, physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and physical downlink control
channel (PDCCH) overheads
Each CA UE sends the acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/
NACK) and channel state information (CSI) related to its SCells in its PCell. When
the PUSCH is not scheduled, the UE sends the information over the PUCCH. When
the PUSCH is scheduled, the UE sends the information over the PUSCH. Therefore,
PUCCH overhead or PUSCH associated signaling overhead increases. For UEs in
the CA state, there will be more NACKs/DTXs among HARQ feedback sent in the
uplink, and therefore PDCCH overhead increases.
l Network performance
– Overall throughput in the entire network
CA does not directly affect network capacity. However, when resources on a
network have not been exhausted, CA increases the resource usage and overall
network throughput.
– Number of CQI reports
In accordance with section 10.1.1 "PUCCH format information" of 3GPP TS
36.213 V10.10.0, CA UEs cannot send CSI reports together with ACK/NACK over
the PUCCH with format 1b. The UEs discard CSI reports as stipulated by 3GPP
specifications. CSI reports include periodic CQI reports. As a result, the number of
CQI reports from CA UEs decreases, as indicated by the values of the
L.ChMeas.CQI.DL.0 to L.ChMeas.CQI.DL.15 counters, after CA is enabled.
When the number of CQI reports from CA UEs decreases, the total number of CQI
reports in the entire network may decrease, increase, or remain unchanged,

eRAN
depending on the radio conditions of the CA UEs and the ratio of CA UEs to all
UEs. For example, if CA UEs are located in cell centers and account for a large
proportion of all UEs, the total number of CQI reports may also decrease. If CA
UEs are not located in cell centers or they account for a small proportion, the total
number of CQI reports may increase or remain unchanged.
– Downlink cell performance
The downlink IBLER of a cell will fluctuate if the 2CCDlCaEnhanceSwitch
option of the CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter is selected.
– Key performance indicator (KPI) fluctuation
The PCell and SCells of each CA UE may not have the same channel quality.
Therefore, CQIs fluctuate after SCells are configured for CA UEs. If the channel
quality in the SCells of a CA UE is higher than that in the PCell, network
performance improves in terms of Cell Downlink Average Throughput, the
number of RRC connection reestablishments, uplink IBLER, downlink IBLER, the
uplink packet loss rate, the downlink packet loss rate, and the service drop rate. If
the channel quality in the SCells is lower than that in the PCell, these performance
indicators deteriorate.
l Data rates of CA UEs
– When resources on a network have not been exhausted, CA in the network
increases the data rates of CA UEs.
– When resources on a network have been exhausted, the data rates of CA UEs are
dependent on scheduling policies (described in 16.4 Scheduling Under CA) and
UE locations.
In the full load situation, activating an SCell may result in a decrease in the overall
throughput of this cell if the UE is located at the edge of this cell. However, if the
UE is located in the cell center or at a place of a medium distance to the center of
this cell, activating an SCell may result in an increase.
– If the CaMgtCfg.CaMimoPriorityStrategySw parameter is set to MIMO_PRIOR,
the user-perceived data rates of CA UEs may decrease because of the low
probability of using rank 3 or 4 on commercial networks.
l VoLTE UEs
After CA takes effect, the mode of ACK feedback for downlink transmissions changes.
As a result, more bits are transmitted over the PUSCH. The demodulation performance
of uplink data on the PUSCH deteriorates to a certain extent. This impact is relatively
noticeable for VoLTE services, which use small packets. To minimize the impact on
uplink data demodulation, eNodeBs reduce MCS indexes so that IBLER values converge
on the target value. However, the reduction in MCS indexes causes more RBs to be
occupied by cell-edge VoLTE UEs.

Boards
Board configurations must meet the following requirements:
l Use cells on LBBPd and UBBP boards as PCells for UEs. LBBPd and UBBP have larger
UE capacities and better processing capabilities than LBBPc. Cells on LBBPc boards
cannot act as PCells.
To ensure normal CA operation, operators must select the EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch
option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter and set lower PCell
priorities (specified by CaGroupCell.PreferredPCellPriority) or PCC priorities
(specified by PccFreqCfg.PreferredPccPriority) for cells on LBBPc boards than for
cells on LBBPd or UBBP boards.
l CA works between either intra- or inter-BBP cells.
– For intra-BBP CA, use a BBP other than LBBPc.
n If the eNodeB is equipped with a BBU3900, the LTE BBP can be deployed in
any slot (0 to 5) of the BBU. To facilitate future capacity expansion, it is
recommended that the LTE BBP be deployed in slot 2 or 3 and be an LBBPd
or UBBP.
n If the eNodeB is equipped with a BBU3910 or BBU5900, there are no special
requirements.
– For inter-BBP CA, use any combination of LBBPc, LBBPd, and UBBP boards,
except a combination of pure LBBPc boards.
n In adaptive configuration mode, an LBBPd or UBBP can work with a
maximum of 16 other LBBPs or UBBPs for CA. An LBBPc can work with a
maximum of 3 other LBBPs or UBBPs for CA.

eRAN
n If the eNodeB is equipped with a BBU3900, at least one LBBPd or UBBP

must be deployed in slot 2 or 3 of the BBU. To maximize the number of cells
where CA can take effect, it is recommended that LBBPd or UBBP boards be
deployed in both slots 2 and 3. This requirement does not apply to BBU3910s
or BBU5900s.
When an eNodeB is restarted, all served cells are reactivated and may be randomly distributed
on BBPs. Inter-frequency cells for CA may all be reestablished on LBBPc boards. If this
happens, CA will not work between these cells. To prevent this, operators are advised to use a
fixed binding between cells and slots. The procedure is as follows:
1. Run the LST EUCELLSECTOREQM command on a macro eNodeB or the LST
EUSECTOREQMGROUP command on a LampSite eNodeB to check the existing cell
binding configuration.
– If the baseband equipment ID in the command output is a value from 0 to 23, the
specified cell has been bound to the specified baseband equipment. No further
action is required.
– If the baseband equipment ID is 255, the specified cell has not been bound to any
baseband equipment. Then, go to the next step.
2. Run the ADD BASEBANDEQM command to add baseband equipment.
The baseband equipment ID must be different from any other assigned IDs.
3. Run the MOD EUCELLSECTOREQM command on the macro eNodeB or the MOD
EUSECTOREQMGROUP command on the LampSite eNodeB to bind the cell to the
new baseband equipment.
The cell will then be reestablished. Then, the new binding takes effect.
RF Modules
To meet the time alignment requirements (see 5.3.4 Networking), intra-band CA requires one
of the following radio frequency (RF) module configurations:
l One multi-carrier RF module
l Multiple active antenna units (AAUs) of the same product model
l Multiple RRUs of the same product model
l Multiple radio frequency units (RFUs) with the same hardware version number
For example, the two RFUs are a combination of MRFU V6 and MRFUd V6. The
hardware version number (such as V1, V2, or V6) can be observed on the RFU panel.
Inter-band CA has no special requirements for RF modules.
NOTE
RRU3702 is incompatible with CA.
5.3.4 Networking
Frequencies
l There must be at least two frequencies on the live network.
l In accordance with section 5.7.1A in 3GPP TR 36.101, the nominal channel spacing
between the center frequencies of two intra-band contiguous CCs must be an integer
multiple of 300 kHz.

eRAN
For example, the nominal channel spacing between two contiguous 20 MHz CCs could
be 19.8 MHz, and that between two contiguous CCs with a bandwidth combination of 20
MHz and 10 MHz could be 14.4 MHz.
Nominal channel spacing is calculated as follows:
BWChannel(1) and BWChannel(2) are the bandwidths of two carriers.
Coverage
The coverage areas provided by the cells to be aggregated must overlap. The areas where CA
takes effect are dependent on the overlapping ranges. The smaller the overlapping range, the
smaller the CA area.
Cells
l Any cells possible for CA must have the same cyclic prefix (CP) length: either normal or
extended.
l Candidate SCells must be inter-frequency neighboring cells of PCells.
There is one exception: After a CA UE reports its CA capabilities during initial access,
the eNodeB sends an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to configure a blind-
configurable candidate SCell, if any, as an SCell to work with the PCell. This candidate
SCell is not necessarily an inter-frequency neighboring cell of the PCell. However, in
any subsequent SCell configuration procedure for this UE, the candidate SCells must be
inter-frequency neighboring cells of the PCell.
l Intra-frequency cell requirements
– Inter-BBP data exchange for this function is bandwidth-consuming. If this function
is activated together with CoMP or SFN, the available backplane bandwidth may be
insufficient. To prevent this, it is recommended that intra-frequency cells be
configured on the same BBP.
– Network planning must mitigate physical cell identifier (PCI) conflicts. When the
PCI of a candidate SCell conflicts with the PCI of an intra-frequency neighboring
cell, the eNodeB will configure this candidate cell as an SCell only if all of the
following options have been selected:
n CaBasedEventAnrSwitch and IntraRatEventAnrSwitch options of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.AnrSwitch parameter
n INTRA_RAT_ANR_SW option of the CellAlgoSwitch.AnrFunctionSwitch
parameter
5.3.5 Others
l UEs
UEs must comply with 3GPP Release 10 or later and support the frequency bands of the
carriers to be aggregated and their bandwidths. UEs must also support the peak data rates
that CA can achieve.
NOTE
As stipulated in 3GPP TS 36.306, CA UEs must report the supportedBandCombination IE, which
contains the UE-supported band combinations and bandwidth classes for eNodeBs to perform CA.

eRAN
l EPC
For this function to reach its theoretical peak data rate described in 5.2.1 Benefits, the
maximum bit rate that each UE subscribes to in the EPC cannot be lower than this
theoretical value.

consumption.
l A smaller value of this parameter
indicates a shorter sampling period. It
causes the CA UE to measure the radio

Parameters Related to Cells in Special Bands

Cells in bands 29, 32, 67, 69, 75, and 76 are DL_ONLY cells, which transmit only downlink
data. UEs can neither camp on the cells in idle mode nor access or be handed over to the cells
in connected mode. These cells can serve only as SCells for CA UEs.
Cells and sector equipment in each of these special bands must be configured as follows:
l Cell.WorkMode must be set to DL_ONLY, Cell.FreqBand must be set to 29 (take band

29 as an example), and Cell.UlEarfcn must be left unconfigured. In addition,
SECTOREQM.ANTTYPE1 (and SECTOREQM.ANTTYPE2, if two antennas are
configured) needs to be set to TX_MODE, depending on site conditions.

eRAN
l EutranInterNFreq.AnrInd must be set to NOT_ALLOWED for frequencies in the

band so that they will not be managed by ANR. Therefore, for CA to take effect,
operators must manually configure cells in the band as inter-frequency neighboring cells
of candidate PCells that can operate with this band for CA.
l EutranInterNFreq.MlbTargetInd must be set to NOT_ALLOWED for frequencies in
the band so that they will not be treated as targets for MLB.
Licensed-assisted access (LAA) cells are all deployed in band 46. Cells in this band can only
serve as SCells. For details about LAA, see Licensed Assisted Access (FDD).

Message Tracing
After a CA UE accesses a cell, the eNodeB configures a cell that meets CA conditions as an
SCell for the UE. When traffic conditions are met, the eNodeB activates this SCell.
You can use the U2000 to verify SCell configuration and activation:
l Observe the RRC_CONN_RECFG message traced on the Uu interface.
– If the RRC_CONN_RECFG message contains the sCellToAddModList IE, the
SCell has been configured.
– If the RRC_CONN_RECFG message contains the sCellToReleaseList IE, the SCell
has been removed.
l Observe the number of RBs and total TBS for the CA UE in the PCell and SCell. If the
numbers are not zero, the SCell has been activated.

Performance Counters
l Monitoring in scenarios other than multi-operator core network (MOCN)
Monitor the counters listed in Table 5-9 and compare the results with the network plan to

– Calculate the average data rate of CA UEs by using the following formula:
(L.Thrp.bits.DL.CAUser – L.Thrp.bits.DL.LastTTI.CAUser)/
L.Thrp.Time.DL.RmvLastTTI.CAUser. Then, compare this value with the data
rate of non-CA UEs.
– Calculate the service drop rate of CA UEs by using the following formula: L.E-
RAB.AbnormRel.CAUser/(L.E-RAB.AbnormRel.CAUser + L.E-
RAB.NormRel.CAUser) x 100%.
– Calculate the handover success rate of CA UEs by using the following formula:
L.HHO.ExecSuccOut.CAUser.PCC/L.HHO.ExecAttOut.CAUser.PCC x 100%.
– Calculate the success rate of handovers from LTE FDD to LTE TDD for PCell
changes of CA UEs by using the following formula:
L.HHO.InterFddTdd.ExecSuccOut.CAUser.PCC/
L.HHO.InterFddTdd.ExecAttOut.CAUser.PCC x 100%.

For the network and function impacts of the prerequisite functions, see the corresponding
"Impacts" sections.
Network Impacts
This function requires additional RBs for PUCCH format-3 overhead. Therefore, the
downlink IBLER of the PCell fluctuates. The impact of this function on the PUCCH overhead
varies depending on the setting of the PucchSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.PucchAlgoSwitch parameter:
l Option selected to enable adaptive allocation of PUCCH resources
The cell spares one RB for PUCCH format-3 overhead. As a result, the number of RBs
available for the PUSCH decreases by at least one. (This number must be a multiple of 2,
3, or 5. For details, see section 5.3.3 "Transform precoding" in 3GPP TS 36.211 V10.1.0
(2011-03).) The total uplink throughput decreases.
l Option deselected to use fixed allocation of PUCCH resources
For FDD, the cell changes the usage of one PUCCH RB from periodic CQI reporting to
PUCCH format-3 overhead. As a result, fewer RBs of the cell are used for periodic CQI
reporting, and more UEs have to use aperiodic CQI reporting. Downlink UE throughput
may slightly decrease.

Carrier Aggregation Feature Parameter Description 9 Uplink 2CC Aggregation
9 Uplink 2CC Aggregation
9.1 Principles
This function aggregates two intra- or inter-band carriers, as shown in Figure 9-1, to provide
higher bandwidth (up to 40 MHz) for the uplink.
Figure 9-1 Uplink 2CC aggregation
This function is controlled by the CaUl2CCSwitch option of the
CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter.
This function requires the LTE-A Introduction feature to be licensed. After this function is
enabled, two carriers can be aggregated for both uplink and downlink transmission.
9.2.1 Benefits
This function enables CA UEs to reach higher uplink peak data rates.

eRAN
Table 9-1 lists the theoretical peak data rates that a CA UE can reach using FDD uplink 2CC
aggregation. These values assume a TBS suitable for the 20 MHz cell bandwidth (equivalent
to 100 RBs in the frequency domain).

"Impacts" sections.
Network Impacts
l Uplink interference may increase because CA UEs consume additional uplink resources.
l If multiple timing advances (MTA) is enabled, the counters related to random access to
SCells return larger values, because of non-contention-based random access to the
SCells. In addition, if uplink power of CA UEs is limited, MTA measurements result in
certain throughput loss.
l Uplink throughput rises when the UlCaPuschPcOptSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UlPcAlgoSwitch parameter is selected, as long as uplink resources are
sufficient. When this option is selected, the transmit power on each PRB decreases so
that more PRBs can be allocated to UEs. This function extends the number of UEs in the
uplink CA state. However, because more resources are now used by CA UEs, uplink
interference may rise, resulting in a higher uplink IBLER and a larger number of
discontinuous transmissions (DTXs).

SCell for the UE. When traffic conditions are met, the eNodeB activates this SCell.
You can use the U2000 to verify SCell configuration and activation:
l Observe the RRC_CONN_RECFG message traced on the Uu interface. If the
RadioResourceConfigCommonSCell-r10 IE in the RRC_CONN_RECFG message
contains the UL-Configuration-r10 IE, the SCell has been configured.

Carrier Aggregation Feature Parameter Description 10 Flexible CA
10 Flexible CA
10.1 Principles
This function allows an eNodeB to select the most suitable carriers for downlink CA from a
larger number of candidate carriers, as shown in Figure 10-1. The selections are based on the
CA capabilities reported by the CA UE and on carrier management principles.
Figure 10-1 Flexible CA
In CA-group-based configuration mode, this function is not under switch control.

In adaptive configuration mode, this function is controlled by the
MultiCarrierFlexCaSwitch option of the CAMGTCFG.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter.
l If this option is selected, the eNodeB can currently select one, two, three, or four SCCs
from a larger number of candidate carriers. It can select four SCCs from a maximum of
eight inter-frequency carriers.
l If this option is deselected, the eNodeB does not select SCCs from a larger number of
candidate carriers. Instead, it includes a limited number of frequencies, based on the SCC
priorities specified by the SccFreqCfg.SccPriority parameter, in the A4 measurement
configuration delivered to the UE. This number is the same as the number of SCCs
supported by the UE.
The process of this function is as follows:
handover, the CA UE reports its CA capabilities to the target eNodeB after setting up an
RRC connection with the PCell.
2. The eNodeB selects appropriate carriers as SCCs for the UE based on the CA
capabilities reported by the UE and the carrier deployment at the eNodeB.

eRAN
10.2.1 Benefits
This function enables an eNodeB to select the most suitable carriers for downlink CA from a
larger number of candidate carriers.
For the theoretical peak data rates that a CA UE can reach using downlink 2CC, 3CC, 4CC, or
5CC aggregation, see the "Benefits" sections that describe these downlink CA functions.

Carrier Aggregation Feature Parameter Description 11 Intelligent Selection of Serving Cell Combinations
11 Intelligent Selection of Serving Cell

Combinations
11.1 Principles
11.1.1 Overview
Intelligent selection of serving cell combinations can be used when CA is working in adaptive
configuration mode. With this function, the eNodeB selects the most suitable serving cell
combination for a CA UE based on the CA capabilities reported by the UE and based on
factors such as the coverage overlap between cells, cell load status, bandwidths, and spectral
efficiency. The eNodeB then informs the UE of the combination.
If CA has been deployed with PCC anchoring for RRC_CONNECTED UEs enabled before
this intelligent selection function is activated, the serving cell combinations selected after the
function activation might be different from those selected before the activation. As a result,
the CA UE distribution may change. (PCC anchoring for RRC_CONNECTED UEs is
controlled by the EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter.)
11.1.2 Triggers
Intelligent selection of serving cell combinations is triggered:
l After the target eNodeB receives a CA UE capability report during initial access, an
incoming RRC connection reestablishment, or an incoming handover of the UE.
l After an E-RAB, with a QCI for which the SMART_CA_ALLOWED option of the
CellQciPara.QciAlgoSwitch parameter is selected, is set up. (In this situation, the
eNodeB selects the most suitable serving cell combination for the UE again.)
11.1.3 Intelligent Selection of Downlink Serving Cell

Combinations
Intelligent selection of downlink serving cell combinations takes effect when both of the
following conditions are met:

eRAN
l The MultiCarrierFlexCaSwitch option of the CAMGTCFG.CellCaAlgoSwitch

parameter is selected.
When this option is changed from deselected to selected, it takes 3 minutes for this
intelligent selection function to take effect.
The eNodeB selects a downlink serving cell combination for a CA UE as follows:

1. It selects the PCell's inter-frequency neighboring cells that overlap the PCell itself.
For example, the eNodeB selects an inter-frequency neighboring cell that meets one of
the following conditions:
– The EutranInterFreqNCell.OverlapInd parameter is set to YES.
– The CaGroupSCellCfg.SCellBlindCfgFlag parameter is set to TRUE. In this case,
this neighboring cell is a blind-configurable candidate SCell for the PCell.
It is recommended that ANGC be activated to automatically set and check these two
parameters. For details, see Auto Neighbor Group Configuration.
If the inter-frequency neighbor relationship or the setting of either parameter is updated,
it takes 3 minutes for the update to be recognized.
If no inter-frequency neighboring cells of the PCell meet these conditions, intelligent
selection does not take effect.
2. It filters out inter-frequency neighboring cells in the high-load state.
The eNodeB considers a cell to be in the high-load state if the number of UEs in the cell
is at least equal to the sum of the values of CellMLB.InterFreqMlbUeNumThd and
CellMLB.InterFrqUeNumOffloadOffset for the PCell.
For the definition of the number of UEs in a cell, see Intra-RAT Mobility Load
Balancing.
3. It selects the serving cell combination that has the highest total downlink air interface
capability.
If there is a noticeable load imbalance between carriers, it is recommended that intra-
RAT MLB be activated to decrease the imbalance before CA is used. If MLB is not
activated, a serving cell combination with a high air interface capability may have
attracted a large number of UEs, which will affect CA UE experience.
The method of calculating the air interface capability of each cell depends on the setting
of the CaMgtCfg.MinDlAvgToBeScheduledUeNum parameter, as described in Table
11-1.

value SE – networks. For TDD cells, the impact of their
G)/N uplink-downlink configurations does not need to
be considered.
l G is the bandwidth required for GBR services in
the cell.
l SE is the converted spectral efficiency in the unit
of bit/RB.
The eNodeB automatically updates the spectral
efficiency of the cell with a measurement period
of 1 minute.
– If the number of uplink-synchronized UEs in
the cell within a measurement period is less
than 10, the eNodeB does not update the
spectral efficiency of the cell.
– If the number of uplink-synchronized UEs in
the cell within a measurement period is
greater than or equal to 10, the eNodeB
calculates the spectral efficiency of the cell for
the current period by using the formula of
and
converting the result into a value expressed in
bit/s/Hz.
VolumeTrans is the traffic volume within the
period, and UsedRbNum is the total number of
RBs used within the period. When measuring
the traffic volume and the total number of
RBs, the eNodeB does not consider the data
generated and RBs used because of MCS
selection with prioritized RBs. For details
about MCS selection with prioritized RBs, see
Scheduling.
l N is the number of active UEs in the cell. Active
UEs are those whose downlink data has been
buffered.
The eNodeB samples all CA UEs every 1 ms,
including those who treat the cell as their PCell
and those who treat the cell as their SCell. It
checks whether there is buffered downlink data
for the UEs and counts those with buffered
downlink data. The eNodeB then takes an
average of these counts.
– If the average is less than the value of the
CaMgtCfg.MinDlAvgToBeScheduledUe-
Num parameter, N takes the parameter value.

eRAN

CaMgtCfg.Min
DlAvgToBeSch
eduledUeNum
– If the average is greater than or equal to the

value of this parameter, N takes the average
number.
– The eNodeB selects the serving cell combination with the highest total downlink air
interface capability while keeping the PCell unchanged for the UE, if either of the
following conditions is met:
n The EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is deselected.
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is selected, but the CA UE has
not sent any A1 measurement report to the eNodeB.
– The eNodeB selects the serving cell combination with the highest total downlink air
interface capability, having the PCell either changed (as described in 4) or
unchanged for the UE, if both of the following conditions are met:
n The eNodeB has received A1 measurement reports from the CA UE.
In this situation, when calculating the total downlink air interface capabilities of the
combinations with PCell being the same as the UE's PCell, the eNodeB multiplies
their capability values by (1 + CaMgtCfg.SmartCaPccAnchoringHyst). Note that,
if the value of the CaMgtCfg.SmartCaPccAnchoringHyst parameter is changed,
the new value takes effect 3 minutes later.
4. It selects a PCell for the UE.
– If there is only one serving cell combination with the highest total downlink air
interface capability, the eNodeB selects the PCell in this combination as the PCell
for the UE. PCell changes require handovers. For details about handover
procedures, see 16.2 Mobility Management Under CA.
– If multiple serving cell combinations have the same total downlink air interface
capability, the eNodeB selects the cell with higher duplex mode priority and the
highest PCC priority as the PCell. For details about these priorities, see 4.5.1 PCC
Anchoring.
– With the CaMgtCfg.SmartCaPccAnchoringHyst parameter set to 0:
If multiple serving cell combinations have the same total downlink air interface
capability, the same higher duplex mode priority, and the same highest PCC
priority, the selection rule varies depending on the setting of the
SmartCaPccSelSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoExtSwitch
parameter.
n Option selected (This option takes effect about 3 minutes after it is selected.)
The eNodeB selects the cell with the highest air interface capability as the
PCell.

eRAN
If multiple cells have the highest air interface capability, the eNodeB selects a
PCell as follows:
○ If the UE's PCell is included in these cells, the eNodeB keeps the PCell
unchanged for the UE.
○ If the UE's PCell is not included in these cells, the eNodeB randomly
selects one from these cells as the PCell.
n Option deselected
○ If the UE's PCell is included in the candidate cells, which have a higher
duplex mode priority and the highest PCC priority, the eNodeB keeps the
PCell unchanged for the UE.
○ If the UE's PCell is not included in the candidate cells, the eNodeB
randomly selects one from the candidate cells as the PCell.
– With the CaMgtCfg.SmartCaPccAnchoringHyst parameter set to a non-zero
value:
n If the UE's PCell is included in the selected serving cell combination, the
SmartCaPccSelSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoExtSwitch
parameter does not take effect.
n If the UE's PCell is not included in the selected serving cell combination, the
eNodeB selects a PCell in the same way as it does when the
CaMgtCfg.SmartCaPccAnchoringHyst parameter is set to 0.
11.1.4 Intelligent Selection of Uplink Serving Cell Combinations

Intelligent selection of uplink serving cell combinations takes effect when all of the following
conditions are met:
l The MultiCarrierFlexCaSwitch option of the CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter
is selected.
When this option is changed from deselected to selected, it takes 3 minutes for this
intelligent selection function to take effect.
l The UL_CA_COMBINATION_FIRST option of the
CaMgtCfg.CaTrafficDirectionPref parameter is selected.
For this function to deliver its optimal performance, it is recommended that the
CaUl2CCSwitch option of the CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter be selected for all
possible PCells and SCells.
The eNodeB selects an uplink serving cell combination for a CA UE as follows:
1. It follows rules 1 and 2 described in 11.1.3 Intelligent Selection of Downlink Serving
Cell Combinations.
2. It preferentially selects the serving cell combination that has the largest total uplink
bandwidth.
a. The eNodeB selects the serving cell combination that has the largest total uplink
bandwidth while keeping the PCell unchanged for the UE, if either of the following
conditions is met:
i. The EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is deselected.

eRAN
ii. The EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch option of the

ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is selected, but the CA UE has
not sent any A1 measurement report to the eNodeB.
b. The eNodeB selects the serving cell combination that has the largest total uplink
bandwidth, with the PCell allowed to be changed for the UE, if both of the
following conditions are met:
i. The EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch option of the
ii. The eNodeB has received A1 measurement reports from the CA UE.
3. If more than one serving cell combination has the largest total uplink bandwidth, the
eNodeB selects the optimal one from them by adhering to the rules for intelligent
selection of downlink serving cell combinations.
11.2.1 Benefits
This function enables an eNodeB to select the most suitable carriers for CA from a larger
number of candidate carriers.
For the theoretical peak data rates that a CA UE can reach using downlink 2CC, 3CC, 4CC, or
5CC aggregation or using uplink 2CC aggregation, see the "Benefits" sections that describe
these CA functions.
11.2.2 Impacts
"Impacts" sections.
Network Impacts
l Intelligent selection of serving cell combinations changes the distribution of PCells and
SCells of CA UEs in frequency bands. These changes may, in turn, make alterations to
performance indicators such as the traffic volume of each band and the CPU usage.
l If the EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch
parameter is selected, intelligent selection of serving cell combinations causes an
increase in the number of inter-frequency handovers for PCC anchoring. The service
drop rate may rise for UEs with abnormal performance in handovers.
In this situation, if the SmartCaPccSelSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoExtSwitch parameter is selected, there will be a further
increase in the number of inter-frequency handovers for PCC anchoring. The service
drop rate may further rise for UEs with abnormal performance in handovers.
l If intelligent selection of uplink serving cell combinations is enabled, the number of UEs
in the uplink CA state increases and the CPU usage of BBPs rises. In addition, the CPU
usage of the main control board may vary, affecting the RRC connection setup success
rate and delay.

l For inter-eNodeB CA, X2 interfaces must be functioning.
They are required for load status exchange, signaling exchange, and user data

appropriate serving cell combinations cannot be selected for inter-eNodeB CA.
Due to X2-related protocol specifications, eNodeBs can exchange information about
only eight frequencies. Certain inter-eNodeB CA combinations may fail to take effect if
there are more than eight frequencies on which inter-frequency neighboring cells with
EutranInterFreqNCell.OverlapInd set to YES or with

12.1 Principles
This function allows for downlink 2CC to 5CC aggregation and uplink 2CC aggregation
between inter-eNodeB cells in eNodeB coordination scenarios.
For FDD, in eNodeB coordination scenarios, the eNodeBs are deployed in a centralized or
distributed manner.
Figure 12-1 illustrates an example of the scenarios.

This function employs the same PCC anchoring and SCell management procedures as for
intra-eNodeB CA. For details, see 4.5 Carrier Management for RRC_CONNECTED UEs
and 4.6 Carrier Management for RRC_IDLE UEs.
Centralized Deployment
In the centralized architecture of eNodeB coordination, the eNodeBs exchange signaling
messages and transmit service data through one or two levels of universal switching units
(USUs). For details about this architecture, see USU3900-based Multi-BBU Interconnection
and USU3910-based Multi-BBU Interconnection.
CA works in this centralized architecture only when the inter-eNodeB round trip time (RTT)
is less than 44 μs.
Distributed Deployment (FDD)

FDD CA works in the distributed architecture of eNodeB coordination.
In this architecture, a Universal inter-Connection Combo Unit (UCCU) board is installed in

the BBU of each eNodeB and connected to a USU through an optical cable for signaling
exchange and service data transmission between the eNodeBs. For details about this
architecture, see USU3910-based Multi-BBU Interconnection.
CA works in this distributed architecture only when the inter-eNodeB RTT is less than 260 μs.
This function is controlled by the DistributeCloudbbCaSwitch option of the

ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter, in addition to the switches listed in Table
12-1.
Hybrid Deployment (FDD)

FDD CA works in the hybrid architecture of eNodeB coordination.
In this architecture, a USU is working simultaneously in centralized and distributed

deployment modes. However, a single eNodeB can be connected to the USU in only one
mode: centralized or distributed. For details about this architecture, see USU3910-based
Multi-BBU Interconnection.

12.2.1 Benefits
This function enables inter-eNodeB carriers to be aggregated to increase user-perceived data
rates for CA UEs.
12.2.2 Impacts
"Impacts" sections.
Network Impacts
This function has the following impacts on the network, because of the delay:
l In the centralized architecture
This function has a slight negative impact on the peak data rates of CA UEs but does not
affect user experience. The reason is that the data to be sent does not arrive at SCells
precisely at the moment of the SCells' scheduling occasion and the UEs cannot be
scheduled for that moment.
l In the distributed or hybrid architecture (FDD only)
– CA UEs cannot promptly acquire the real-time CQI changes about inter-eNodeB
SCells. This causes slight deterioration in frequency-selective scheduling
performance and an increase in IBLER.
– Reports of HARQ retransmission demodulation results are delayed, affecting the
single-UE peak data rate and resulting in an increase in RBLER.
– CQI and IBLER feedback is delayed, causing variations in the data rates of UEs
located medium or long distances from the center of their SCells.
– Due to the differences in the RLC data arrival time for the aggregated carriers, CA
UEs have to combine and organize the received data. This process places an
additional burden on the UEs' CPUs. If the CPU capacity is insufficient, the data
rates of the UEs fluctuate.
– To minimize the impact of inter-eNodeB delay, RLC retransmissions occur only in
PCells. If the Uu bandwidth of a PCell is used up by guaranteed bit rate (GBR)
services, RLC retransmissions for the CA UE are often blocked and the data rate of
the UE fluctuates.
– Due to possible errors in the estimated scheduling priorities of CA UEs, the PRBs
in SCells for the UEs may not be fully utilized when the SCells are each serving a
small number of non-CA UEs and the non-CA UE traffic is light.
– When route setup is triggered for the first time between the PCell and an inter-
eNodeB SCell for a CA UE, this route is set up assuming the eNodeB is in the
centralized eNodeB coordination architecture by default, before the inter-eNodeB
transmission delay is detected. If the detected inter-eNodeB transmission delay
indicates the distributed eNodeB coordination architecture, the eNodeB removes
this SCell for the UE. The eNodeB will attempt to configure this SCell for the UE
again when the uplink or downlink traffic volume of the UE meets the SCell

l The eNodeBs must be time-synchronized to within 3 μs.
l Routes between inter-eNodeB cells must be established and working properly.
– When USU3910 is used, eX2 interfaces must be set up between the eNodeBs.
n If the eNodeBs belong to the same operator and are managed by the same
U2000, eX2 self-setup works.

eRAN
n If the eNodeBs belong to different operators or are managed by different

U2000s, Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) links and endpoint
groups must be manually configured for eX2 interfaces. For details about the
configuration, see eX2 Self-Management.
If three consecutive attempts of an eNodeB to set up an eX2 route to an inter-
eNodeB cell fail in an eNodeB coordination scenario, the local eNodeB prohibits
the subsequent 30 setup attempts on this route.
– When USU3900 is used, eX2 interfaces are not required between the eNodeBs.

13 Inter-eNodeB CA Based on Relaxed

This function allows for downlink 2CC to 5CC aggregation and uplink 2CC aggregation
between inter-eNodeB cells in relaxed backhaul scenarios, as illustrated in Figure 13-1.

parameter
Usage Scenarios
The relaxed backhaul scenarios are classified into the following types:
l Inter-eNodeB one-way delay ≤ 4 ms and RTT ≤ 8 ms
In this scenario, both downlink CA and uplink CA work between inter-eNodeB cells.
l 4 ms < inter-eNodeB one-way delay ≤ 8 ms and 8 ms < RTT ≤ 16 ms
In this scenario, only downlink CA works.
To enable inter-eNodeB CA in this scenario, the RelaxedBHCaEnhanceSwitch option
of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter must be selected.
l 4 ms < inter-eNodeB one-way delay ≤ 16 ms and 8 ms < RTT ≤ 32 ms
In this scenario, only downlink FDD CA works.
To enable inter-eNodeB CA in this scenario, the RelaxedBHCaEnh2Switch option of
the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoExtSwitch parameter must be selected.
The eNodeB combination can be one of the following:
l Macro+macro, macro+LampSite, or LampSite+LampSite
The cells exchange signaling messages and service data for CA through the eX2 or X2
interfaces between the main control boards (LMPT or UMPT) of these eNodeBs.
The GlobalProcSwitch.ItfTypeForNonIdealModeServ parameter determines which
interface to use for inter-eNodeB CA based on relaxed backhaul.
l Macro+micro or LampSite+micro
The cells exchange signaling messages and service data for CA through the eX2 or X2
interfaces between the main control boards (LMPT or UMPT) of the macro or LampSite
eNodeBs and the transport modules of the micro eNodeBs.
For details about eX2 or X2 interfaces between eNodeBs, see eX2 Self-Management or S1 and
X2 Self-Management.
Procedures
This function employs the same PCC anchoring and SCell management procedures as for
intra-eNodeB CA. For details, see 4.5 Carrier Management for RRC_CONNECTED UEs
and 4.6 Carrier Management for RRC_IDLE UEs.
This function implements SCell configuration and SCell removal with inter-eNodeB
transmission quality requirements considered, in addition to the principles described in 4.5.2
SCell Management.
The process of this function is as follows:
handover, the CA UE reports its CA capabilities to the target eNodeB after setting up an
RRC connection with the PCell.

eRAN
2. The eNodeB selects appropriate inter-eNodeB cells as SCells for the UE.
3. After activating the SCells, the serving eNodeB of the PCell diverts downlink traffic of
the UE from the PCell to the SCells and converges the uplink traffic from the SCell with
the uplink traffic in the PCell.
When inter-eNodeB transmission quality deteriorates (for example, the transmission
delay does not meet requirements or transmission is interrupted), the eNodeB removes
the SCells to exit inter-eNodeB CA. After transmission quality recovers, SCells can be
configured again at the subsequent initial access, incoming RRC connection
reestablishment, or incoming handover.
3GPP Release 10 specifications stipulate that downlink-data demodulation results (ACK or

NACK) must be reported over the PCC of each CA UE. In a relaxed backhaul scenario, the
serving eNodeB of each SCell for a CA UE estimates the CQI, NACK, and scheduling
priority to determine the scheduling occasion and resources for the UE in advance, without
affecting the scheduling priorities and fairness among UEs. This pre-scheduling prevents
inter-eNodeB CA failures caused by transmission delay.
13.2.1 Benefits
This function enables inter-eNodeB carriers to be aggregated to increase user-perceived data
rates for CA UEs.
13.2.2 Impacts
"Impacts" sections.
Network Impacts
In relaxed backhaul scenarios, when CA and other inter-eNodeB features (such as UL CoMP)
are enabled together, these features share transmission bandwidths. If the transmission
bandwidths are insufficient, the delays increase and the gains of these features are affected.
This function has the following impacts on the network, because of the delay:
l CA UEs cannot promptly acquire the real-time CQI changes about inter-eNodeB SCells.
This causes slight deterioration in frequency-selective scheduling performance and an
increase in IBLER.
l Due to inter-eNodeB delay, HARQ feedback is postponed, which has an impact on the
RBLER of CA UEs. In HARQ retransmission statistics, the values of the RBLER-related
counters may rise. CQI reports about SCells of CA UEs are also delayed, which affects
the IBLER of these UEs. The IBLER-related counters may produce larger values. If a
UE in the inter-eNodeB CA state is located a medium or long distance from the center of
its PCell or SCell, the data rate of the UE fluctuates.
l Due to the differences in the RLC data arrival time for the aggregated carriers, CA UEs
have to combine and organize the received data. This process places an additional burden
on the UEs' CPUs. If the CPU capacity is insufficient, the data rates of the UEs fluctuate.

eRAN
l To minimize the impact of inter-eNodeB delay, RLC retransmissions occur only in

PCells. If the Uu bandwidth of a PCell is used up by GBR services, RLC retransmissions
for the CA UE are often blocked and the data rate of the UE fluctuates.
l Due to possible errors in the estimated scheduling priorities of CA UEs, the PRBs in
SCells for the UEs may not be fully utilized when the SCells are each serving a small
number of non-CA UEs and the non-CA UE traffic is light.
l In relaxed-backhaul-based inter-eNodeB CA scenarios, if MBSFN subframes and MTA
are configured, the PCell MBSFN subframe numbers described in the following table are
recommended for different SCell PRACH subframe number settings. If the MBSFN
subframes are not set as recommended, uplink synchronization may fail in SCells. This
failure causes SCells to be deactivated and therefore affects the perceived data rates of
CA UEs. If multiple SCell PRACH subframes are set within 10 ms, the intersection of
the corresponding MBSFN subframe number settings is recommended.

13.3 Requirements

If a CA group includes cells that are served by different eNodeBs in a relaxed backhaul
scenario, each of the eNodeBs serving these cells requires one sales unit of the license
for Inter-eNodeB CA Based on Relaxed Backhaul.

eRAN
If any cell served by the local eNodeB is to be accompanied by any inter-eNodeB SCell
in a relaxed backhaul scenario, each of the eNodeBs requires one sales unit of the license
for Inter-eNodeB CA Based on Relaxed Backhaul.
In either configuration mode, each cell involved in this function also requires one sales unit of
the license for LTE-A Introduction.
number of inter-eNodeB CCs need to be aggregated.
NOTE
If the FreqBaseIntereNBSccSwitch option, introduced in eRAN12.1, of the

ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoExtSwitch parameter is selected for a local eNodeB in a relaxed backhaul
scenario:
l The local eNodeB can acquire the CA-related switch settings of each neighboring eNodeB and,
based on the settings, determine license consumption by local cells (cells served by the local
eNodeB). For example:
If 4CC aggregation has been enabled at a neighboring eNodeB, local cells may act as SCells. The
local eNodeB then determines that each local cell on the frequencies configured as candidate SCCs
on the neighboring eNodeB should consume one sales unit of the license for Carrier Aggregation
for Downlink 4CC and 5CC.
If 4CC aggregation has been enabled neither at the local eNodeB nor at neighboring eNodeBs,
local cells will not act as SCells in 4CC aggregation. The local eNodeB determines that the license
for Carrier Aggregation for Downlink 4CC and 5CC should not be consumed by any local cell.
l If the version of a connected neighboring eNodeB is earlier than eRAN12.1, the local eNodeB
assumes that all CA features have been enabled at the neighboring eNodeB, for compatibility
consideration. The local eNodeB attempts to make the consumption of all CA feature licenses take
effect for each local cell. In this situation, the feature query result at the local eNodeB indicates
that the configuration status of all CA features is on.

13.3.3 Hardware
Base Station Models

All base stations models are compatible with this function. However, the following constraints
apply:
l FDD cells served by BTS3911Es and BTS3912Es can act as PCells for this function.
They support aggregation of two or more CCs in the downlink and two CCs in the
uplink.
When an FDD cell served by a BTS3911E or BTS3912E acts as the PCell for a CA UE,
the following issues may occur due to a total eNodeB transmission capability of 600
Mbit/s:
– If the data rate of transmission from the EPC to the eNodeB exceeds the total
eNodeB transmission capability, the PCell cannot transfer data to SCells. As a
result, the SCells may be activated but their scheduling is suspended.
– If the data rate of transmission from the EPC to the eNodeB does not exceed the
total eNodeB transmission capability, the difference between the two values
determines the rate of data transfer from the PCell to SCells. The amount of data
transferred to the SCells may be insufficient, so that the peak data rate of the UE
does not reach its theoretical value.
l When served by BTS3202Es or BTS3203Es, FDD cells:
– Cannot act as PCells for this function. They support downlink 2CC aggregation
only.
– Can act as neither PCells nor SCells when the inter-eNodeB one-way delay is
between 8 ms and 16 ms (inclusive) and the RTT is between 16 ms and 32 ms
(inclusive).

eRAN
Boards
l When deployed on LBBPc boards, FDD cells:
– Cannot act as SCells for uplink inter-eNodeB CA.
– Can act as neither PCells nor SCells when the inter-eNodeB one-way delay is
between 8 ms and 16 ms (inclusive) and the RTT is between 16 ms and 32 ms
(inclusive).
l If the LMPT is used as the main control board, no more than seven inter-eNodeB BBPs
can be interconnected because the transport resource group bandwidth of the LMPT is
limited.
l For 5CC aggregation to 100 MHz, the UBBP and UMPT boards are recommended. If
LBBPd and LMPT are used, the peak data rate may not reach the expected value, due to
the lower hardware capabilities.
l If the data rate of transmission from the EPC to the eNodeB exceeds the transmission
capability of the BBP or main control board, the PCell cannot transfer data to SCells. As
a result, the SCells may be activated but their scheduling is suspended.
RF Modules
13.3.4 Networking
The requirements described in 5.3.4 Networking must be fulfilled. In addition, CA in relaxed
backhaul scenarios has the following requirements:
l It is recommended that this function be deployed in urban areas to prevent CA failures
caused by large inter-site distances.
In accordance with section J.1 "Deployment Scenarios" in 3GPP TS 36.300 V10.11.0,
the delay spread among the inter-eNodeB CCs monitored at the UE cannot exceed 30.26
μs. A delay spread of 30.26 μs corresponds to a signal transmission distance difference
of about 9 kilometers among the CCs.
l The eNodeBs must be time-synchronized to within 3 μs.
l The jitter and packet loss rate must meet the requirements described in S1 and X2 Self-
Management.
l The inter-eNodeB transmission quality must meet requirements.
– For transmission delay requirements, see Usage Scenarios in 13.1 Principles.
– Jitter and packet loss rate requirements are described in Table 13-4.
Table 13-4 Jitter and packet loss rate requirements

Scenario Jitter (ms) Packet Loss
Rate (%)
Best 0 0.0001
Recommended 1 0.001
Tolerable 2 0.5

eRAN
In tolerable scenarios described in Table 13-4, services can be successfully set up,
but the QoS requirements of services other than VoLTE and push to talk (PTT) are
not necessarily fulfilled.
NOTE
l If the transmission delay (maximum one-way delay or maximum RTT), jitter, or packet loss
rate deteriorates, the data rates of CA UEs in inter-eNodeB CA based on relaxed backhaul
decrease.
l If the downlink traffic to be carried on the serving board or eNodeB of the PCell exceeds the
maximum data rate supported by the hardware, the end-to-end delay between the PCell and
SCells may increase, so that the data rates in the SCells decrease or even drop to zero.
l If TCP is used for application layer data transmission and there is packet loss on the
transmission link between the eNodeB and the EPC, the data rates of CA UEs may be
adversely affected because of insufficient incoming application layer data packets. This
insufficiency is caused by the limited size of the TCP sliding window.
Inter-eNodeB transmission quality information can be obtained using the following
methods:
– Run the DSP EX2UPINFO command to query the maximum one-way delay and
maximum RTT. If the status of clock synchronization between two eNodeBs does
not meet accuracy requirements, the maximum one-way delay cannot be precisely
measured. It can be estimated by taking half of the maximum RTT.
– Monitor performance counters related to IP Performance Monitor (PM). For details,
see IP Performance Monitor.
l Routes between inter-eNodeB cells must be established and working properly. eX2 or X2
interfaces must be set up between the eNodeBs.
– If the eNodeBs belong to the same operator and are managed by the same U2000,
eX2 or X2 self-setup works.
– If the eNodeBs belong to different operators or are managed by different U2000s,
SCTP links and endpoint groups for eX2 or X2 interfaces must be manually
configured. For details about the configuration, see eX2 Self-Management or S1 and
X2 Self-Management.
eNodeBs will automatically create IP PM sessions to detect link status of eX2 or X2
interfaces. If an IP PM session of bidirectional activation type is configured at either end
of an eX2 or X2 interface, it may conflict with an automatically created session.
Therefore, the eX2 or X2 interface fails to work properly.
If three consecutive attempts of an eNodeB to set up an eX2 or X2 route to an inter-
eNodeB cell fail in a relaxed backhaul scenario, the eNodeB prohibits the subsequent 30
setup attempts on this route.
l The bandwidths of the links between the eNodeBs must meet requirements.
The required link bandwidth can be planned based on network conditions. It must be
within the transmission bandwidth capacities of the eNodeBs.
– Method of calculating the required link bandwidth
Required link bandwidth = Bandwidth of the SCC x Spectral efficiency of the SCC
x Percentage of CA UEs on the SCC x Number of SCells to be associated
Take a 20 MHz SCC as an example. Each time the serving eNodeB of the PCell
associates an inter-eNodeB SCell with the PCell:
n A link bandwidth of 35 Mbit/s is required for the uplink and also for the
downlink, assuming the average spectral efficiency of 3.5 and a CA UE
percentage of 50% for the SCC. The required link bandwidth is calculated as
follows:

eRAN
20 x 3.5 x 50% x 1 = 35 Mbit/s

In consideration of transport protocol overheads, a bandwidth margin of about
12% must be reserved. As a result, the bandwidth to be configured is
calculated as follows: 35 x (1 + 12%) = 39 Mbit/s.
n A link bandwidth of 150 Mbit/s is required for the uplink and also for the
downlink, assuming the maximum spectral efficiency of 7.5 and a CA UE
percentage of 100% for the SCC.
With the bandwidth margin of 12% considered, the bandwidth to be configured
is calculated as follows: 150 x (1 + 12%) = 168 Mbit/s.
Spectral efficiency = (L.Traffic.DL.SCH.QPSK.TB.bits + L.Traffic.DL.SCH.
16QAM.TB.bits + L.Traffic.DL.SCH.64QAM.TB.bits + L.Traffic.DL.SCH.
256QAM.TB.bits)/(L.ChMeas.PRB.DL.Used.Avg x measurement period), where
the measurement period is expressed in seconds.
– Transmission bandwidth capacities of eNodeBs
The CA-related transmission bandwidth capacities of eNodeBs depend on the base
station type and main control board type.
For micro eNodeBs, the capacities are listed in Table 13-5.

BTS3202E, BTS3203E, and 150 Mbit/s

described in Table 13-6.

If the GLOBALPROCSWITCH.ProcTypeForNonIdealServData parameter is set

to HARD, BBPs (except LBBPc) will process data to facilitate data forwarding at
main control boards for inter-eNodeB CA based on relaxed backhaul. This
processing helps improve the CA-related transmission bandwidth capacities of the

eRAN
eNodeBs. As a result, the L.CA.Traffic.bits.RelaxedBackhaulCAUsed.DL.Scell

counter will produce a larger value, and the CPU usage of BBPs rises when the
amount of processed data increases.
Any change to the setting of the
GLOBALPROCSWITCH.ProcTypeForNonIdealServData parameter will cause
the links between PCells and inter-eNodeB SCells to be reestablished. The
reestablishment has the following impacts on existing CA UEs in inter-eNodeB CA
based on relaxed backhaul:
n SCells are removed, so the instantaneous data rates of the UEs will decrease
even temporarily to zero.
n In CA-group-based configuration mode, after the SCell removal, SCells will
not be configured again for the UEs when the specific traffic volume
conditions are fulfilled. SCells can be configured for the UEs only after they
access the network again.
NOTE
In SCells participating in inter-eNodeB CA, the data rates on the radio interface are determined by
the transport block sizes selected by eNodeBs for UEs. The sizes must not exceed the maximum
allowed transmission bandwidth, and the size type is subject to protocol-stipulated restrictions. It
is possible that a selected transport block size does not precisely match the transmission
bandwidth. As a result, the actual data throughput may fail to reach the maximum allowed
bandwidth even though spare radio resources are available in the SCells.

In addition to 5.4.1.1.1 CA-Group-based Configuration Mode, configure CaGroup,
CaGroupCell, and CaGroupSCellCfg MOs on each eNodeB and ensure that the
CaGroup and CaGroupCell configurations of the eNodeBs involved in CA are
consistent. If the configurations are inconsistent, CA will not work.

14 Downlink FDD+TDD CA
14.1 Principles
This function aggregates two, three, four, or five downlink FDD and TDD CCs. Figure 14-1
shows an example.
Figure 14-1 Downlink FDD+TDD CA
This function is controlled by the InterFddTddCaSwitch option of the

CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter.
In this function, either FDD or TDD carriers can be PCCs of CA UEs.
Usage Scenarios
This function works in both intra- and inter-eNodeB scenarios:
l Intra-eNodeB
In intra-eNodeB scenarios, FDD and TDD cells are served by the same eNodeB. For
details, see 3.2.1 Intra-eNodeB CA Scenarios.
l Inter-eNodeB
Inter-eNodeB scenarios include:
– Relaxed backhaul
For details, see 13 Inter-eNodeB CA Based on Relaxed Backhaul.

eRAN
– Centralized eNodeB coordination

For details, see 12 Inter-eNodeB CA Based on eNodeB Coordination.
– BBP-BBP eNodeB coordination
In this scenario, UBBPe series boards in two different BBUs are interconnected
directly through a single cable. This cable, shown in Figure 14-2, carries both eX2-
C and eX2-U. The two UBBPe series boards can be any combination of UBBPe and
UBBPei boards.
Figure 14-2 eX2-C and eX2-U between UBBPe series boards
Subframe Configurations
TDD cells for CA must use uplink-downlink configuration 1 or 2 and one of special subframe
configurations 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9. A TDD cell using special subframe configuration 4 cannot
work with another TDD cell using special subframe configuration 5, 6, 7, or 9 for CA. TDD
cells served by LampSite eNodeBs can only use special subframe configurations 6 and 7. No
subframe configuration requirements are imposed on FDD cells.
If a non-zero frame offset is configured for a TDD cell, the same frame offset must be
specified for the FDD cells involved in CA. FDD hardware of SRAN10.1 or later versions,
except BTS3203Es, all support frame offset setting.
The CC combinations for downlink FDD+TDD 5CC aggregation vary according to the
duplex mode of the PCell and the uplink-downlink configuration of TDD cells, as described
in Table 14-1.

14.2.1 Benefits
This function deals with spectrum shortages by utilizing both FDD and TDD spectrum
resources, addresses mobile broadband service competition, and improves service quality.
The theoretical peak data rates that downlink FDD+TDD CA can reach are as follows:
l Theoretical peak data rate for downlink 2CC aggregation = Theoretical peak data rate on
a single FDD carrier in the downlink + Theoretical peak data rate on a single TDD
carrier in the downlink
two FDD carriers in the downlink + Theoretical peak data rate on a single TDD carrier in
the downlink
three FDD carriers in the downlink + Theoretical peak data rate on a single TDD carrier
in the downlink
four FDD carriers in the downlink + Theoretical peak data rate on a single TDD carrier
in the downlink
14.2.2 Impacts
"Impacts" sections.
Network Impacts
l When an FDD carrier is working as the PCC and TDD carriers are working as SCCs for
a CA UE, the downlink TDD spectrum resources are fully utilized, which increases the
downlink data rate. The FDD PCC also provides better uplink coverage for the CA UE
than a TDD PCC would do.
l When a TDD carrier is working as the PCC, it can obtain beamforming gains,
represented by an increased downlink data rate. However, in certain scenarios, TTI
bundling may be triggered due to the limited number of bits for ACK/NACK over the
PUCCH in the TDD PCell, causing the downlink data rate to drop on each CC. TTI
bundling may be triggered when:
– The TDD PCell uses uplink-downlink configuration 2 and has participated in FDD
+TDD 3CC, 4CC, or 5CC aggregation.
– The TDD PCell uses uplink-downlink configuration 1 and has participated in FDD
+TDD 4CC or 5CC aggregation.
l When a TDD carrier is working as the PCC, additional RBs are used for PUCCH
format-3 overhead. Therefore, the downlink IBLER of the PCell fluctuates. The impact
of this function on the PUCCH overhead depends on the setting of the PucchSwitch
option of the CellAlgoSwitch.PucchAlgoSwitch parameter:

eRAN
– Option selected to enable adaptive allocation of PUCCH resources

The PCell spares one RB for PUCCH format-3 overhead. As a result, the number of
RBs available for the PUSCH decreases by at least one. (This number must be a
multiple of 2, 3, or 5. For details, see section 5.3.3 "Transform precoding" in 3GPP
TS 36.211 V10.1.0 (2011-03).) The total uplink throughput decreases.
– Option deselected to use fixed allocation of PUCCH resources
The PCell changes the usage of two PUCCH RBs from periodic CQI reporting to
PUCCH format-3 overhead. As a result, fewer RBs of the cell are used for periodic
CQI reporting, and more UEs have to use aperiodic CQI reporting. Downlink UE
throughput may slightly decrease.

the CA UE can operate in

All base stations models are compatible with this function. However, the following constraints
apply:
l FDD cells served by BTS3911Es and BTS3912Es can act as PCells for this function.
l FDD cells served by BTS3202Es and BTS3203Es can act only as SCells.
Boards
l Do not use LBBPc boards, which do not support this function. If a physical cell of an
SFN cell is established on an LBBPc board, this function cannot be used with the SFN
cell either.
l Do not use an FDD cell on any LBBPd4 board as the PCell for aggregation of three or
more downlink FDD and TDD CCs. Otherwise, the aggregation will not work.

eRAN
l In BBP-BBP eNodeB coordination scenarios, use a baseband interconnection cable to

connect the BBPs in the FDD and TDD BBUs, without any transmission equipment in
between. The following constraints apply:
– Only one baseband interconnection cable can be used between the BBPs. It must be
an optical cable shorter than 100 m.
– Only the UBBPe and UBBPei boards can be interconnected. All combinations of
these boards are supported. (These boards are equipped with HEI ports and can
provide a port bandwidth of 40 Gbit/s). In BBU3900s, the interconnected BBPs
must be installed in slot 2 or 3.

Carrier Aggregation Feature Parameter Description 15 Uplink FDD+TDD CA
15 Uplink FDD+TDD CA
15.1 Principles
This function aggregates two uplink FDD and TDD CCs, as shown in Figure 15-1.
Figure 15-1 Uplink FDD+TDD CA
This function is controlled by the InterFddTddCaSwitch option of the

CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter and the CaMgtCfg.FddTddCaUlMaxCcNum
parameter. The latter parameter must be set to 2CC.
This function requires downlink FDD+TDD CA to be licensed. Therefore, after this function
is enabled, two carriers can be aggregated for both uplink and downlink transmission.
In this function, either FDD or TDD carriers can be PCCs of CA UEs.
Usage Scenarios
For details, see Usage Scenarios in 14.1 Principles.
Subframe Configuration
The TDD cells involved in this function must use uplink-downlink configuration 2.
If a non-zero frame offset is configured for a TDD cell, the same frame offset must be
specified for the FDD cells involved in CA. FDD hardware of SRAN10.1 or later versions,
except BTS3203Es, all support frame offset setting.

resources, addresses mobile broadband service competition, and improves service quality.

15.2.2 Impacts
"Impacts" sections.
Network Impacts
l When a TDD cell acts as an SCell for a CA UE, the SCell offers beamforming gains in
the downlink and experiences an increase in downlink cell throughput.
l When MTA is configured in FDD+TDD CA scenarios, this function increases the uplink
throughput of CA UEs and improves uplink performance if there is a noticeable
difference (for example, about 78 meters, which is equivalent to one TA) between the
distances of a CA UE to the receive antennas of the PCell and an SCell. In addition, due
to the non-contention-based random access to the SCell, the performance counters
related to random access to the SCell produce larger values.
l When CA is deployed between eNodeBs in relaxed backhaul scenarios, ACKs/NACKs
for the PCell and SCell may not be received promptly because of inter-eNodeB
transmission delay. This results in a decrease of no more than 5% in the downlink data
rates of CA UEs. In addition, due to inter-eNodeB transmission delay, transmission of
CQIs on the PUSCH cannot be identified promptly. To address this issue, PUSCH
scheduling in the SCell yields to periodic CQI reporting. The shorter the CQI reporting
period, the more frequently the yielding occurs and the greater the decrease in the uplink
data rates of CA UEs. Especially when a TDD cell and an FDD cell act as the PCell and
SCell respectively, the decrease is so large that PUSCH scheduling may involve only the
SCell.
l When a TDD cell is working as the PCell and an FDD cell is working as an SCell for a
CA UE, the uplink FDD spectral resources are fully utilized, which increases the uplink
data rate. In addition, the FDD SCell provides better uplink coverage for the CA UE than
a TDD cell does for a non-CA UE.

Carrier Aggregation Feature Parameter Description 16 Other Key Techniques in CA Scenarios
16 Other Key Techniques in CA Scenarios
16.1 Connection Management Under CA

When CA is enabled, connection management has the following characteristics:
l After an RRC connection is set up between a CA UE and a cell, the cell acts as the PCell
of the UE. The PCell transmits non-access stratum (NAS) messages for the UE.
l An eNodeB configures SCells for a CA UE by sending messages over the RRC
connection. After the SCells are configured, the CA UE still has only one RRC
connection with the network and is allocated only one cell radio network temporary
identifier (C-RNTI).
l The PCell and SCells of a CA UE each have a complete set of channels with one
exception: the PUCCH. This channel carries layer 1 uplink control information, such as
ACKs or NACKs to downlink data, scheduling requests, and periodic CSI reports. The
PUCCH exists only in the PCell.
l The PCell is set up for a CA UE during initial access or an RRC connection
reestablishment. A handover is required to change the PCell for the UE. An RRC
connection reestablishment procedure is triggered if a radio link failure (RLF) occurs in
the PCell.
l SCells can be deactivated, but the PCell cannot. Only the serving eNodeB of the PCell
can deactivate and remove SCells.
For more details about connection management, see Connection Management.
16.2 Mobility Management Under CA

This section describes how mobility management works when CA is enabled.
Handover Messages
The handover procedures for CA UEs have the following characteristics:
l The handover procedure for PCell changes is the same as a common handover
procedure, in which the eNodeB sends an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message
that contains the mobilityControlInfo IE to the UE.

eRAN
l Unlike a common handover procedure, a handover procedure that involves an SCell

update has the following characteristics:
– If SCell configuration is required, the eNodeB sends an RRC Connection
Reconfiguration message that contains the sCellToAddModList IE to the UE.
– If SCell removal is required, the eNodeB sends an RRC Connection
Reconfiguration message that contains the sCellToReleaseList IE to the UE.
The difference in the number of CCs between source and target eNodeBs has no impact on the
handover procedure.
The RRC Connection Reconfiguration message and the preceding IEs can be traced as
described in 5.4.2 Activation Verification.
Measurement Configuration
If an eNodeB performs CA for a CA UE whose signal quality is so poor that an inter-
frequency handover may occur, the spectral efficiency of the network decreases and the block
error rate (BLER) increases. To prevent this, set thresholds as described in Table 16-1.
Table 16-1 Threshold setting rules

Blacklist Control over Autonomous Gap

Certain UEs with the autonomous gap function enabled will encounter measurement errors or
even service drops. These UEs can be blacklisted so that the autonomous gap function does
not take effect for them. For details about this function, see Terminal Awareness
Differentiation.

eRAN
Handover Events
CA UEs report events for eNodeBs to evaluate the following handovers:
l Intra-frequency handover (Related parameters are configured in the IntraFreqHoGroup
MO.)
An eNodeB performs an intra-frequency handover for a CA UE when it receives an A3
measurement report from the UE in the PCell.
l Inter-frequency handover (Related parameters are configured in the InterFreqHoGroup
MO.)
After receiving an A2 measurement report from a CA UE in the PCell, the serving
eNodeB of the PCell delivers the inter-frequency measurement configuration to the UE.
The measurement configuration varies depending on whether SCells have been
configured for the UE:
– If SCells have been configured, the eNodeB delivers an A3 or A5 measurement
configuration: A3 in case the EutranInterNFreq.InterFreqHoEventType
parameter is set to EventA3 and A5 in case this parameter is set to any other value.
– If no SCells have been configured, the eNodeB delivers a measurement
configuration related to the event specified by the
EutranInterNFreq.InterFreqHoEventType parameter.
The eNodeB performs an inter-frequency handover for the UE when it receives a
measurement report of the specified event from the UE.
NOTE
l For the triggering conditions for these events, see Mobility Management in Connected Mode.
Event A5 is triggered if the signal quality in the PCell is lower than the threshold for handover
event A2 and the signal quality in at least one neighboring cell is higher than the threshold for
handover event A4.
l It is recommended that threshold 1 for event A5 be the same as the threshold for inter-
frequency handover event A2. If threshold 1 is lower than or equal to the threshold for blind
handover event A2, the eNodeB will not deliver A5 measurement configurations to the UEs.
Frequency-Priority-based Handover
If the operator-specified frequency with the highest priority for frequency-priority-based
handovers is different from the frequency with the highest priority for PCC anchoring, you are
advised to select the FreqPriBasedHoCaFiltSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter. In such a case, the eNodeB does not deliver
the measurement configurations related to frequency-priority-based handovers to CA UEs. If
you do not select this option, frequency-priority-based handovers may occur on CA UEs soon
after the UEs are handed over to a frequency with a high PCC anchoring priority.
If a frequency has both the highest priority for frequency-priority-based handovers and the
highest priority for PCC anchoring, you can deselect the FreqPriBasedHoCaFiltSwitch and
PccAnchorSwitch options of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter. In such a
case, mobility of both CA UEs and non-CA UEs is subject to the frequency priorities defined
for frequency-priority-based handovers.
Load-based Handover
If the PCell of a CA UE meets the triggering conditions for load balancing and the UE meets
the UE selection conditions, the eNodeB performs a load-based inter-frequency handover on
the UE. For details about this type of handover, see Intra-RAT Mobility Load Balancing.

eRAN
SCell Configuration During Handovers

To reduce the SCell configuration delay, enable SCell configuration during handovers by
selecting the HoWithSccCfgSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch
parameter. The procedure for SCell configuration during handovers varies depending on the
setting of HoWithSccCfgSwitch.
l If the HoWithSccCfgSwitch option is selected for both the source and target eNodeBs,
this function is enabled. The procedure is as follows:
a. The source eNodeB includes the reportAddNeighMeas IE in the handover-related
A3, A4, and A5 measurement configurations delivered to the CA UE.
b. The CA UE sends the source eNodeB the measurement reports that contain the
measurement result of the best cell on each serving frequency (in the
measResultBestNeighCell IE) and the PCell and SCell measurement results (in the
measResultPCell and measResultSCell IEs).
c. The source eNodeB includes the best cell information in the CandidateCellInfoList
IE of the handover request message and sends the message to the target eNodeB.
The source eNodeB also includes the blind-configurable candidate SCells of the
source cell in the CandidateCellInfoList IE of the handover request message if the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoWithSccCfgAddBlindSwitch parameter is set to ON.
d. The target eNodeB acquires measurement results from the CandidateCellInfoList
IE, determines the new SCell to be configured to accompany the target cell (acting
as the PCell) of the handover, and updates the sCellToAddModList IE with the new
SCell information. The target eNodeB then sends the updated information in the
handover command to the source eNodeB.
The eNodeB preferentially selects blind-configurable candidate SCells as new
SCells. This takes effect in adaptive configuration mode and only if the
HoWithSccCfgBlindFirstSw option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoExtSwitch
parameter is selected. It takes effect in CA-group-based configuration mode without
switch control.
e. The source eNodeB sends an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message containing
the mobilityControlInfo, sCellToReleaseList, and sCellToAddModList IEs to
remove the original SCells and configure the new SCells during the handover.
After the HoWithSccCfgSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch
parameter is selected, the SCell configuration success rate changes as affected by the
handover success rate. (The SCell configuration success rate can be observed using the
L.CA.DLSCell.Add.Succ and L.CA.DLSCell.Add.Att counters.)
The CaTrafficTriggerSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch
parameter does not take effect in this procedure. The source and target eNodeBs perform
the procedure without considering traffic volume for configuring SCells, even if the
CaTrafficTriggerSwitch option has been selected.
If this procedure fails, no SCell is configured for the UE that has been handed over to the
target cell. The target eNodeB then performs an SCell configuration procedure. For
details, see 4.5.2.1.2 CA-Group-based SCell Configuration Procedure and 4.5.2.1.3
Adaptive SCell Configuration Procedure.

eRAN
NOTE
l The preceding procedure results in fewer blind or A4-based SCell configurations.

l SCell configuration during a handover requires that a routing relationship be set up between
the SCell and the target cell of the handover.
l If SCell configuration during handovers is enabled, the eNodeB attempts to configure SCells
without considering the load status of the candidate SCells, when PCC anchoring is triggered.
This allows the SCells to be configured more quickly.
l During a blind handover of a CA UE with heavy uplink traffic load for MLB, the source
eNodeB includes the PCell and SCell information for the UE in the handover request sent to
the target eNodeB. Based on the received information, the target eNodeB selects the SCells to
be configured for the CA UE after the handover.
l If the HoWithSccCfgSwitch option is deselected for both the source and target
eNodeBs, this function is disabled. The procedure is as follows:
The source eNodeB delivers an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to remove
the SCells of the CA UE and performs an intra- or inter-frequency handover for the UE.
After the UE is handed over to the target cell, the target eNodeB configures SCells for
the UE.
NOTE
SCell configuration and A4 measurement configuration for carrier management may or may not be
affected by event A2 reporting, depending on the setting of the RcvA2CfgSccSwitch option of the
CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter:
l If this option is deselected, SCell configuration and A4 measurement configuration are affected by
event A2 reporting.
If the serving eNodeB of the PCell for a CA UE receives a handover-related event A2 report from
the UE, the eNodeB stops configuring SCells for the UE and no longer delivers new A4
measurement configurations related to carrier management to the UE. If the eNodeB receives a
handover-related event A1 report, the eNodeB configures SCells for the UE in a blind manner (if
blind SCell configuration is enabled) or after receiving an event A4 report related to carrier
management from the UE. In addition, the eNodeB delivers new A4 measurement configurations
related to carrier management to the UE.
l If this option is selected, SCell configuration and A4 measurement configuration are not affected by
event A2 reporting.
For more details about mobility management, see Mobility Management in Connected Mode.
16.3 Admission and Congestion Control Under CA

This section describes how admission control and congestion control work when CA is
enabled.
Admission Control
Admission control under CA differs from admission control without CA in the following
ways:
l Admission control based on the number of UEs
When an eNodeB receives an access request from a CA UE (for RRC connection setup
or reestablishment, an incoming handover, or a transition from out-of-synchronization to
in-synchronization), the eNodeB performs admission control in both the PCell and
SCells based on the number of UEs in the individual cells. If the eNodeB accepts the
access request, it treats the UE as an RRC_CONNECTED UE in each serving cell.
However, only the RRC_CONNECTED UEs in the PCell consume UE count license

eRAN
units. Take 2CC aggregation as an example. If all UEs on the entire network have their
SCells activated and are working in the 2CC aggregation state, the maximum number of
UEs that can access the network decreases by half, and the number of consumed UE
count license units is equal to the actual number of UEs that have accessed the network.
The UE count threshold used to determine whether to admit a CA UE to an SCell is
equal to 90% of the CellRacThd.AcUserNumber parameter value specified for this cell.
When a preemption-capable UE attempts to access a cell configured on a BBP where the
number of UEs has already reached the maximum number allowed, the eNodeB
preferentially releases other CA UEs that treat the cell as their SCell. The release
maximizes the total number of UEs on the entire network.
l Admission control based on QoS satisfaction rates
This type of admission control applies to GBR services of CA UEs only in their PCells.
– If a CA UE is admitted to its PCell, the UE accesses the network.
– If the UE is not admitted to its PCell but is capable of preemption, the UE performs
preemption in this PCell. If the preemption is successful, the UE accesses the
network.
– If the UE is not admitted to its PCell and if it is incapable of preemption or the
preemption fails, the UE cannot access the network.
For more details about admission control, see Admission and Congestion Control.
Congestion Control
Huawei eNodeBs relieve traffic congestion mainly by releasing GBR services. When a cell is
overloaded, GBR services in the cell do not meet their QoS requirements. If the DlLdcSwitch
and UlLdcSwitch options of the CellAlgoSwitch.RacAlgoSwitch parameter are selected for
the cell, the eNodeB releases low-priority GBR services in the cell to ensure satisfaction rates
for high-priority GBR services. This congestion control mechanism works in CA scenarios.
If congestion control over GBR services is triggered in a cell because there are insufficient
radio resources, the eNodeB releases GBR services of CA UEs that treat this cell as their
PCell and of non-CA UEs in this cell. (Non-CA UEs are terminals that do not support CA.)
When the eNodeB selects the UEs whose services are to be released, it removes CA UEs that
treat the cell as their SCell from the list of prioritized candidates. If a service to be released is
the only GBR service of a UE (either CA UE or non-CA UE) that meets conditions for
redirection, the eNodeB redirects the UE. If the service is not the only GBR service or the
conditions for redirection have not been met, the eNodeB releases this GBR service of the
UE.
For more details about congestion control, see Admission and Congestion Control.
16.4 Scheduling Under CA

This section describes how scheduling works when CA is enabled.
For GBR services, scheduling with CA enabled is almost the same as scheduling with CA
disabled. The goal of scheduling is still to meet the QoS requirements of GBR services.
For non-GBR services, Huawei has designed two scheduling methods for the enhanced
proportional fair (EPF) policy: basic and differentiated. The method used is specified by the
CellDlschAlgo.CaSchStrategy parameter. The default method is basic scheduling. The

eRAN
scheduling method must be consistent between serving cells to prevent data transmission
exceptions. The following presents the characteristics of the two methods:
l Basic scheduling
When PRBs on a network are abundant, basic scheduling works in the same way as
differentiated scheduling. CA UEs can use sufficient PRBs to meet their service
requirements.
When there is PRB congestion on a network, basic scheduling works to maintain
fairness. The data rate of a CA UE is almost the same as the data rate of a non-CA UE
that is running services with the same QCI.
Due to inconsistent spectral efficiency for the CA UE between CCs, basic scheduling
does not achieve the same data rates for the CA UE and the non-CA UE when planning
to allocate the same number of PRBs to the two UEs.
– If the difference in spectral efficiency between CCs is large (for example, when the
CA UE is located at the edge of its PCell or SCell), there is a large difference in the
number of allocated PRBs between the CA UE and the non-CA UE.
– If the spectral efficiency is almost the same between CCs, the number of PRBs
allocated to the CA UE is close to that of PRBs allocated to the non-CA UE.
The CellDlschAlgo.CaSchWeight parameter has been added in eRAN11.1 to specify a
differentiated scheduling factor for CA UEs when the scheduling method is basic
scheduling. This parameter can be set to values of 0 to 10, which correspond to actual
values ranging from 0 to 1. It takes effect only for downlink scheduling. A larger
parameter value results in more scheduling differentiation between CA UEs and non-CA
UEs. A smaller parameter value results in fairer scheduling. This is a parameter to be set
only for PCells. If this parameter is set to its default value 0, basic scheduling works in
the same way as before. If this parameter is set to a non-zero value, the number of PRBs
allocated to a CA UE is (1 + n x m) times the number of PRBs allocated to a non-CA
UE, where n is the number of activated SCells and m is the actual value of the parameter
that specifies the differentiated scheduling factor.
l Differentiated scheduling
The data rate of a CA UE for priority calculation is defined as the data rate only on the
current CC of the UE. On each CC, the CA UE is allocated the same number of RBs as a
non-CA UE on the same CC would be. Therefore, the number of RBs allocated to the
CA UE is the sum of the average number of RBs per non-CA UE in each of the serving
cells. The data rate of the CA UE served by n CCs is almost n times the data rate of a
non-CA UE, assuming that the spectral efficiencies of the CCs are close to each other,
UEs are evenly distributed on the CCs, and channel conditions are the same between the
CCs.
In differentiated scheduling, a CA UE is treated as a common UE on each CC. It is
scheduled separately in the CCs. Therefore, a CA UE can be allocated more PRBs and
deliver a better user experience than a non-CA UE. However, radio resources for non-
CA UEs decrease.
UE scheduling on their PCCs and SCCs varies depending on the CA scenario:
l In inter-eNodeB CA based on centralized eNodeB coordination and in intra-eNodeB CA,

when RLC unacknowledged mode (UM) is used, the serving eNodeB of the PCell
schedules the UE only on the PCC if the service type is VoLTE or emergency call. (If a
UE reverts from the uplink CA state to the single-carrier state due to a lack of power, one
of the original SCCs may become the only carrier and scheduling on this SCC occurs.) If
the service type is neither VoLTE nor emergency call, the eNodeB can schedule the UE

eRAN
on all the CCs. For details about RLC UM, see section 4.2.1 "RLC entities" in 3GPP TS
36.322 V10.0.0.
l In inter-eNodeB CA based on relaxed backhaul, when RLC UM is used, the serving
eNodeB of the PCell schedules the UE only on the PCC regardless of service types (such
as VoLTE, emergency call, real-time video or voice streaming, or real-time gaming).
Currently, frequency selective scheduling is not used in SCells by default. To enable

frequency selective scheduling in SCells, set the CellDlschAlgo.CaSccDopMeas parameter to
FROMPCC.
NOTE
If an SCell is configured in the uplink for a CA UE, uplink scheduling uses the method configured for
downlink scheduling: basic or differentiated scheduling.
Precise scheduling is available for CA UEs. With precise scheduling, the eNodeB
dynamically distributes traffic to CCs based on the real-time traffic volume and scheduling
capabilities of the CCs. This function is enabled if the CaEnhancedPreAllocSwitch option of
the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoExtSwitch parameter is selected.
l In FDD, this option does not take effect for inter-eNodeB CA based on relaxed backhaul.
Before selecting the CaEnhancedPreAllocSwitch option, ensure that the

DlCaLbAlgoSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaLbAlgoSwitch parameter and the
CaLoadBalancePreAllocSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch
parameter have been deselected.
For more details about scheduling, see Scheduling.
16.5 DRX Control Under CA

In discontinuous reception (DRX) mode, UEs save power by not monitoring the physical
downlink control channel (PDCCH) for certain periods.
According to section 5.7 "Discontinuous Reception (DRX)" in 3GPP TS 36.321 V11.2.0, the
same active time applies to all activated serving cells.
For this purpose, all the serving cells use the DRX parameters of the PCell, including On
Duration Timer, DRX Inactivity Timer, and DRX Short Cycle Timer. Figure 16-1 shows an
example of the DRX configuration under CA.
Figure 16-1 Common DRX configuration

eRAN
When CA is enabled, DRX control works as follows:
l If DRX is enabled in the PCell and all of the SCells for a CA UE, the UE states in the
cells are handled as follows when the serving eNodeB of the PCell sends a MAC CE to
activate the SCells:
– If the UE has entered the DRX state in the PCell, the UE now also enters the DRX
state in SCells, with the DRX parameters for the PCell applied to the SCells.
– If the UE has not entered the DRX state in the PCell, the eNodeB determines
whether the UE should enter the DRX state in all the PCell and SCells based on the
traffic volume of the UE.
l If DRX is enabled in the PCell but disabled in an SCell, the UE exits and does not return
to the DRX state after the SCell is configured for the UE.
l If DRX is disabled in the PCell, the UE will not enter the DRX state in either the PCell
or SCells, regardless of whether DRX is enabled in the SCells.
l If DRX and uplink FDD+TDD CA are both enabled, the
DrxParaGroup.OnDurationTimer parameter must be set to a value greater than four
subframes for the FDD cell.
l QCI-specific DRX for the UE is controlled only by the PCell.
For more details about DRX control, see DRX and Signaling Control.
16.6 RAN Sharing Under CA

In RAN sharing scenarios, the operators involved allocate resources to their subscribers based
on the predefined proportions of resources. To enhance fairness in resource usage among the
operators that share a carrier, differentiated scheduling is recommended.
CA UEs can access only operator-specific carriers (either in PCells or in SCells). For
example, there are three frequencies:
l f1, shared by operators A and B

l f2, dedicated to operator A
l f3, dedicated to operator B
On this network, only the carriers of f1 and f2 can be aggregated for CA UEs of operator A,
and only the carriers of f1 and f3 can be aggregated for CA UEs of operator B. Cells on f3
cannot be accessed by or configured as SCells for CA UEs of operator A. Cells on f2 cannot
be accessed by or configured as SCells for CA UEs of operator B.
If equivalent PLMNs are configured or inter-PLMN handovers are enabled, carriers of

frequencies owned by different operators can be aggregated. For example, cells on f2 and f3
can be aggregated. For details about the configuration, see Mobility Management in
Connected Mode.
In RAN sharing scenarios, different eNodeBs must be assigned different eNodeB IDs.
Otherwise, errors will occur in SCell configuration because target eNodeBs cannot be
identified.
For more details about RAN sharing, see RAN Sharing.

eRAN
16.7 Power Control Under CA

If an SCell has been configured and activated for a CA UE in the uplink, uplink power control
works separately on the two CCs. The UE sends CC-specific extended power headroom
reports (PHRs) to the eNodeB. Based on these reports, the eNodeB calculates the total
required power for the two CCs. The required power for the PCC or an SCC is equal to the
maximum transmit power supported by the UE minus the power headroom indicated in the
PCC- or SCC-specific extended PHR, respectively. If the total required power exceeds the
maximum transmit power of the UE while the transmit power per PRB remains unchanged,
the eNodeB reduces the number of uplink PRBs for the UE till the UE enters the single carrier
state.
NOTE
Extended PHR is an information element introduced by 3GPP for uplink CA UEs. It contains the PHR
for each CC. For details, see section 6.1.3.6a "Extended Power Headroom MAC Control Element" in
3GPP TS 36.321 V11.0.0.
The UlCaPuschPcOptSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.UlPcAlgoSwitch parameter can

be selected to increase the number of UEs in the UL CA state. That is because when this
option is selected, the transmit power on each PRB decreases for CA UEs so that more PRBs
can be allocated to the UEs. This function increases uplink throughput of these UEs when
resources are sufficient. However, selecting this option does not produce gains for uplink CA
UEs that experience poor uplink SINR in their SCells in relaxed backhaul scenarios.
16.8 MTA Under CA

For UEs that support uplink CA, both PCells and SCells provide uplink resources. It is
recommended that multiple timing advances (MTA) be enabled in either of the following
scenarios because using a single TA has a significant impact on demodulation performance:
l There is a noticeable difference (for example, about 78 meters, which is equivalent to a
TA) between the distances of a CA UE to the receive antennas of the PCell and an SCell.
l The PCell and an SCell are not served by the same pRRU of a LampSite eNodeB.
The switch used to enable MTA varies depending on the CA scenario:
l Single-duplex-mode uplink 2CC aggregation: the MtaAlgSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter
l FDD+TDD uplink 2CC aggregation: the FTMtaAlgSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoExTSwitch parameter
After an SCell is configured and activated in both downlink and uplink for a CA UE, the
eNodeB sends a PDCCH order to the UE and, as instructed, the UE initiates a non-contention-
based random access procedure in the SCell. The eNodeB then sends the UE a random access
response to configure a secondary timing advance group (sTAG) for the UE. The network
maintains a TA for each serving cell of the UE.
If the number of preamble retransmissions in the SCell reaches the maximum number
allowed, the random access procedure fails. The UE stops random access without instructing
the PCell to perform an RRC connection reestablishment. As a result, the UE is out-of-
synchronization in the uplink, and only downlink scheduling is allowed. If the SCell
activation conditions are met and the resynchronization timer expires, a random access

eRAN
procedure is triggered again. The eNodeB removes the SCell if consecutive random access
attempts fail.
NOTE
For details about PDCCH order, see section 8.0 "UE procedure for transmitting the physical uplink
shared channel" in 3GPP TS 36.213 V11.4.0.
If a TDD cell and an FDD cell are acting as the PCell and SCell respectively in uplink 2CC
aggregation for a UE and the FTMtaAlgSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoExTSwitch parameter is selected:
l The eNodeB preferentially instructs the UE to send SRSs in the 13th orthogonal
frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of an uplink subframe. Uplink
scheduling of the UE in the FDD cell yields to the SRS transmission to ensure
beamforming gains in the TDD cell.
l If the CellPdcchAlgo.ComSigCongregLv parameter is set to CONGREG_LV8 for the
TDD cell, the PDCCH control channel element (CCE) aggregation level for common
control signaling is so high that the eNodeB transmit power might be insufficient for
sending a Random Access Response message to the UE. This negatively affects
configuration of the uplink SCell for the UE.
16.9 High-Speed CA UE Return

High-speed UE return transfers high-speed UEs from public-network cells back to
overlapping inter-frequency cells on networks dedicated to high-speed railways.
High-speed UEs are frequently handed over within the public network because the public-
network cells cover relatively small areas. The eNodeBs on the public network identify high-
speed CA UEs based on how often they are handed over. If an eNodeB identifies a CA UE as
a high-speed UE and detects that one of its SCells belongs to the dedicated network, the
eNodeB redirects the UE to that SCell without instructing the UE to perform inter-frequency
measurements.
This function is controlled by the HSCABlindRedirectSw option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.HighSpeedSchOptSwitch parameter.
For the mechanism and engineering guidelines for this function, see High Speed Mobility.
16.10 MIMO Under CA (FDD)

MIMO Schemes
In CA scenarios, each CC supports 2T or 4T MIMO (the number of antennas may vary with
carriers). The MIMO scheme is separately configured for each CC.
l If the CellMimoParaCfg.MimoAdaptiveSwitch parameter is set to NO_ADAPTIVE
for a cell, the transmission mode specified by the CellMimoParaCfg.FixedMimoMode
parameter takes effect. The transmission mode can be TM2, TM3, TM4, or TM6.
l If the CellMimoParaCfg.MimoAdaptiveSwitch parameter is set to OL_ADAPTIVE,
CL_ADAPTIVE, or OC_ADAPTIVE for a cell, the specified transmission mode
adaptation takes effect in the cell.
l If the TM9Switch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.EnhMIMOSwitch parameter is
selected and the CellCsiRsParaCfg.CsiRsSwitch parameter is set to FIXED_CFG,

eRAN
TM9-capable CA UEs work in TM9 and other CA UEs work in a MIMO scheme
depending on the setting of the CellMimoParaCfg.MimoAdaptiveSwitch parameter.
On a 4T MIMO network, CA works in downlink 4x2 MIMO scenarios if CA UEs support 2R
and in downlink 4x4 MIMO scenarios if CA UEs support 4R.
When FDD and TDD cells serve as the PCell and an SCell for uplink FDD+TDD CA,
respectively, the SRS subframe configurations of the two cells must overlap if the TDD SCell
needs to support TM7, TM8, or TM9 without PMI.
For more details about MIMO, see MIMO.
UEs
The way the terminal industry chain has developed, some UEs do not support aggregation of
the maximum number of CCs while using the highest-order MIMO configurations. For
example, some UEs support aggregation of three 2x2 MIMO CCs or aggregation of one 4x4
MIMO CC and one 2x2 MIMO CC, but not aggregation of three 4x4 MIMO CCs.
For these UEs, the CaMgtCfg.CaMimoPriorityStrategySw parameter can be used to
determine the policy for adaptive selection of CA or high-order MIMO when the UEs have
been configured with a maximum number of CCs.
l If this parameter is set to CA_PRIOR, CA takes precedence.
l If this parameter is set to MIMO_PRIOR, the eNodeB attempts to configure as many
4x4 MIMO-capable CCs as possible.
For this purpose, the eNodeB removes SCells for a CA UE when two conditions are
fulfilled. The UE falls back to be served by fewer CCs and enables rank-4-based
transmission on the 4x4 MIMO-capable CCs. These conditions are:
– The UE determines that SCell removal will allow a larger number of CCs to be
capable of 4x4 MIMO.
– The eNodeB determines that, after the fallback, any one of the 4x4 MIMO-capable
CCs will meet the conditions described in Table 16-2.

l If this parameter is set to PEAK_RATE_PRIOR, the eNodeB attempts to render CA

UEs to reach highest theoretical peak data rates.
For this purpose, the eNodeB removes SCells for a CA UE when two conditions are
fulfilled. The UE falls back to be served by fewer CCs and enables rank-4-based
transmission on the 4x4 MIMO-capable CCs. These conditions are:

eRAN
– The UE determines that SCell removal will help reach a higher theoretical peak data
rate.
– The eNodeB determines that, after the fallback, all of the 4x4 MIMO-capable CCs
will meet the conditions described in Table 16-2.
When all 4x4 MIMO-capable CCs meet the conditions described in Table 16-3, the
eNodeB configures SCells again so that the number of CCs for the UE reaches the
maximum.

NOTE
If this parameter is set to MIMO_PRIOR or PEAK_RATE_PRIOR and uplink CA is enabled, uplink

SCell configuration takes priority over 4x4 MIMO configuration for UEs capable of uplink CA after
their fallback. The CCs with the uplink SCells may not be capable of 4x4 MIMO.

AlgoSwi ch ENODE 0301102 rt UlUuFlowCtrlSwitch:
tch BALGO / Differen
SWITC TDLOF tiated Indicates whether to enable uplink flow control over
H D-00301 Flow the air interface. If this option is selected, the eNodeB
LST 102 Control limits the uplink rate of UEs in the case of uplink
ENODE congestion. This prevents intra-eNodeB uplink
BALGO congestion, but may affect fairness and differentiation
SWITC for combined services. If this option is deselected, the
H eNodeB does not limit the uplink rate of UEs in the
case of uplink congestion. In this case, intra-eNodeB
uplink congestion may occur, but fairness and
differentiation for combined services are ensured.
A UE is considered to have combined services if the
UE has two or more flow-controllable non-GBR
bearers. Fairness and differentiation for combined
services of a UE are ensured if the eNodeB allocates
transmission bandwidths to these flow-controllable
non-GBR bearers based on weighting factors for
uplink scheduling priorities (specified by the
UlschPriorityFactor parameter) in case that uplink
transmission resources are insufficient. If this option is
selected, the eNodeB limits the number of uplink RBs
allocated to the UE in the case of uplink congestion.
According to 3GPP specifications, however, the
eNodeB cannot decide how many RBs to be allocated
to each flow-controllable bearer. The number of RBs
available for each non-GBR bearer is determined
based on the prioritized bit rates (PBRs) and priorities
of the associated logical channels rather than based on
the setting of the UlschPriorityFactor parameter. As a
result, if this option is selected, fairness and
differentiation for combined services of the UE cannot
be ensured. This option applies only to LTE FDD and
LTE TDD.
CoOverbookingSwitch:
Indicates whether to enable the overbooking algorithm
for coordination features (including CA and UL
CoMP) and services. If this option is selected, the
eNodeB lowers the admission bandwidths of cells
with coordination services and performs flow control
based on real-time traffic. In this case, such cells can
dynamically share bandwidths. If this option is
deselected, the eNodeB reserves a normal amount of
admission bandwidth resources for cells with
coordination services. In this case, such cells cannot
dynamically share bandwidths.

configuration (A3 measurement configuration for a
PSCell) of the UE before changing or deleting the
SCell of the UE. If this option is selected, upon
receiving an A2 or A6 measurement report (A3

eNodeB sends an A2- and A6-related measurement
configuration deletion message (A3-related
measurement configuration deletion message for a

SCell of the UE. If this option is deselected, upon
receiving the measurement report from a UE, the
eNodeB does not send the measurement configuration
deletion message to the UE before changing or

HoCfgReleaseJudgeSwitch: indicates whether the
target eNodeB checks if the release version of the
configuration used by the UE from the source eNodeB
is later than that of the target eNodeB in an inter-
eNodeB handover.
When the following conditions are met:
(1) The target eNodeB receives a HandoverPreparatio-
nInformation message from the source eNodeB.
(2) The release version of the IE ue-ConfigRelease-r9
contained in the message is later than that of the target
eNodeB or the message contains an IE that the target
eNodeB does not support.
The target eNodeB regards that the release version of
the configuration used by the UE is later than that of
the target eNodeB and includes the IE fullconfig-r9 in
the HandoverCommand message if this option is
selected. In the preceding scenario, the target eNodeB
does not include the IE fullconfig-r9 in the
HandoverCommand message if this option is
deselected. This option applies only to LTE FDD and

ScellIndexLimitSwitch: indicates the index value
assigned to an SCell for a UE. If this option is
selected, the index value assigned cannot exceed the
maximum number of CCs that can be aggregated for

assigned can be any one in the entire SCell index
value range. This option applies only to LTE FDD and
LTE TDD.
HoWithSccMimoModifySwitch: indicates the method
for configuring the MIMO mode of the SCell for the
SCell configuration during handovers. If this option is
selected, the MIMO mode of the SCell is configured
based on UE status in the initial access. If this option
is deselected, the MIMO mode of the SCell is
configured based on UE status in the handover. This
ForbidHighCapabilitySwitch: indicates whether the
eNodeB forbids capabilities beyond the UE protocol
version for defective UEs that comply with 3GPP
Release 10 or later. Some defective UEs may report
capabilities beyond the UE protocol version. If this
option is deselected, capabilities beyond the UE
protocol version are allowed to take effect on the
eNodeB. If this option is selected, the eNodeB ignores
capabilities beyond the UE protocol version that are
reported by the UEs. This option applies only to LTE
FDD and LTE TDD.
UlNasCrossHoCacheSwitch: indicates whether an
eNodeB saves an uplink NAS message in the buffer
when a handover process and the message cross.
When this option is selected, the eNodeB saves the
uplink NAS message in the buffer and then sends it to
the MME after the handover finishes. When this
option is deselected, the eNodeB does not save the
message in the buffer. This option applies only to LTE
FDD and LTE TDD.
SCellBlindA2Switch: indicates whether the eNodeB
delivers the A2 measurement configuration for SCells
to a CA UE after configuring an SCell for the UE in
CA-group-based configuration mode in a blind
manner. The eNodeB delivers the measurement
configuration only if this option is selected. The A2
threshold is always -140 dBm, which is the minimum
3GPP-defined value. This option applies only to LTE
FDD and LTE TDD.
DrxActiveStatusJudgeOptSwitch: Indicates that the
eNodeB evaluates whether subframe n is in DRX
active time at the n-5 subframe, whether to receive
CQI/PMI/RI/PTI reports on PUCCH at subframe n,
and whether to handle false PUCCH detections at

eRAN

nd
subframe n for UEs complying with 3GPP Release 11

or later. If this option is deselected, for UEs
complying with 3GPP Release 11 or later, the eNodeB
evaluates whether subframe n is in DRX active time at
the n-4 subframe. Then, the eNodeB determines
whether to receive CQI/PMI/RI/PTI reports on
PUCCH at subframe n. If this option is selected, for
UEs complying with 3GPP Release 11 or later, the
eNodeB evaluates whether subframe n is in DRX
active time also at the n-5 subframe. Then, the
eNodeB determines whether to receive
CQI/PMI/RI/PTI reports on PUCCH at subframe n
and whether to handle false PUCCH detections at
subframe n. For details, see section 5.7 in 3GPP TS
36.321. This option applies only to LTE FDD and LTE
TDD.
MfbiMeasurementControlSwitch: Indicates the switch
to control the delivery of inter-frequency measurement
configurations in multi-band scenarios. If this option
is selected and the carrier frequency belongs to
