RBG Resource Allocation
Strategy

• For downlink resource allocation, if the RBs needed by a user is not equal to
the integral multiple of RBG, two strategies can be used:
– ROUNDDOWN If the data is more than 1RBG, spit the data into two parts(scheduling
twice), the first part is an integral multiple of RBG, the second part is less than 1RBG.
– ROUNDUP Add padding to the data to constitute an integral multiple of RBG(scheduling
once).

RBG Resource Allocation
Strategy

• Impact:
– ROUNDDOWN Twice scheduling are needed to transmit data, while no padding is added.
Disadvantage: More scheduling times(lower user throughput , more PDCCH resource).

– ROUNDUP Only once scheduling is needed to transmit data, while padding is added.
Advantage: Less scheduling times(higher user throughput, less PDCCH resource,).

• Observation: Downlink user throughput is recommended to monitored

– When ROUNDUP strategy is used, it’s recommend to monitor the downlink user throughput
of the network, which is expected to increase.

RBG Resource Allocation
Strategy

• Parameter Description:
For services whose QoS class identifier (QCI) is not 1:
 When this parameter is set to ROUND_DOWN: (1) If the number
of required resource block groups (RBGs) is less than 1, the
actual number of RBs are allocated to UEs at the current
transmission time interval (TTI);
 If the number of required RBGs is greater than N but less than
N+1 (N is greater than or equal to 1), RBs of N RBGs are
allocated to UEs in the current TTI and the other required RBs
are allocated to UEs in the next TTI.
 Setting this parameter to ROUND_DOWN ensures full utilization
of RBs, but increases scheduling times and decreases downlink
data rate. If this parameter is set to ROUND_UP and the number
of required RBGs is greater than N but less than N+1 (N is
greater than or equal to 0), RBs of N+1 RBGs are allocated to
UEs in the current TTI.

RBG Resource Allocation
Strategy

• Parameter Description:

 Setting this parameter to ROUND_UP wastes a few RBs, but

decreases scheduling times and increases downlink data rate.
 When this parameter is set to ADAPTIVE: (1) If the number of
required RBGs is less than 1, the actual number of RBs are
allocated to UEs at the current TTI; (2) If the number of required
RBGs is greater than N but less than N+1 (N is greater than or
equal to 1), RBs of N+1 RBGs are allocated to UEs in the
current TTI. Compared with setting this parameter to
ROUND_UP, setting this parameter to ADAPTIVE does not
waste RBs when the number of required RBGs is less than 1.
