– PHICH
• nRE,PHICH in 1 radio frame depends on bandwidth and is fixed for different bandwidth

Pucch resources
intro
• PUCCH is used for transmitting
– SR, HARQ ACK/NACK (PUCCH Format 1)
– CQI, RI (PUCCH Format 2)
• UE is allocated SR and CQI resources during setup procedure, and the
resources are kept as long as UE is UL synchronized.
– UE is not allowed to connect to a cell if there’s no free SR resources
• noOfPucchSrUsers and noOfPucchCqiUsers determine number of resources
for SR and CQI per cell
• PUCCH is allocated by
– 2 RB at the band edges (RB-pair)
– Time domain sharing, each PUCCH is assigned to
a UE with a periodicity deciding which sub-frame
UE can access PUCCH (default periodicity for CQI
is 80ms, SR is 10ms)
• Current setting
– noOfPucchSrUsers, noOfPucchCqiUsers = 320
Pucch resources
highest pucch resources for sr &TCQI
= 10ms (SR periodicity)
SR
nSF,PUCCH = 10 (# sub-frames for PUCCH)
ncap = 4 (CQI resources/RB pair)
TCQI = 80ms (CQI periodicity)
• 1st attempt (nRB,format1 = nRB,format2 = 4)
nSR,res = (36*4-44)*10*10/10 = 1000 (>810)
nCQI,res = 4*4*80*10/10 = 1280 (>880)
› 2nd attempt (nRB,format1 = 5, nRB,format2 = 3)
nSR,res = (36*5-44)*10*10/10 = 1360 (>810)
nCQI,res = 3*4*80*10/10 = 960 (>880)
› 3rd attempt (nRB,format1 = 6, nRB,format2 = 2)
nSR,res = (36*6-44)*10*10/10 = 1720 (>810)
nCQI,res = 2*4*80*10/10 = 640 (<880)
noOfPucchSrUsers (limited by nCQI.res)=noOfPucchCqiUsers=640
This setting will reduce peak UL throughput
Pucch resources
number of pucch rb-pairs
•
Current setting (noOfPucchSrUsers =
noOfPucchCqiUsers = 320)
nPUCCH,SR = [320/10 * 10/10] = 32
nRB,Format1 = [(32+44)/36] = 3
nRB,Format2 = [320/(4*80) * 10/10] = 1
nRB,PUCCH = 3 + 1 = 4
› Recommended setting (noOfPucchSrUsers
= noOfPucchCqiUsers = 640)
nPUCCH,SR = [640/10 * 10/10] = 64
nRB,Format1 = [(64+44)/36] = 3
nRB,Format2 = [640/(4*80) * 10/10] = 2
nRB,PUCCH = 3 + 2 = 5 (even  6, < max RB
pair per DU)
 Odd number will leave 1 RB-pair
unused by PUCCH and PUSCH
Pucch resources
observability
• pmPucchSrCqiResCongCqi
– The number of times a PUCCH allocation request
for CQI resource(s) could not be granted
• pmPucchSrCqiResCongSr
– The number of times a PUCCH allocation request
for SR resource(s) could not be granted
Pdcch resources
• PDCCH is used for
adaptive pdcch (1/2)
– UL/DL scheduling assignments, e.g. PUSCH/PDSCH resource indication,
transport format indication, HARQ info and PUCCH/PUSCH PC commands
• Number of OFDM symbols available for PDCCH in a sub-frame is CFI. Max
OFDM symbols, limited by pdcchCfiMode, is not exceeded
• Recommended setting:
– Bandwidth =< 10MHz : CFI_AUTO_MAXIMUM_3 (current setting), to handle peaks of
PDCCH load
– Bandwidth > 10MHz : CFI_AUTO_MAXIMUM_2, since higher number of symbols for
PDCCH can increase RB pairs for PUCCH, which leads to reduced UL peak rate

Mp load
1.1 RRC Connection setup intensity
(due to UE releases by inactivity)
• The time a UE can be inactive before it is released is controlled
by tInactivityTimer
• Current setting for tInactivityTimer is 10s, requirement from
UE vendor
• Recommend to change to 30s to reduce signaling load for high
capacity cells
For tInactivityTimer set to 30s,
• E-RAB drop rate will increase due to the E-RAB drops only consider the abnormal E-RAB Releases
if there was data in buffer (i.e. active).
•
Number of UEs stay in RRC_Connected state will be larger, thus lowering the number of available

As part of Radio Connection Supervision, RLC failures are caused by
– T310 expiry
– Max RLC re-transmissions reached
• T310 is controlled by
–
–
–
–
After receiving N310 consecutive “out-of-sync” indications, start timer T310
After receiving N311 consecutive “in-sync” indications, stop timer T310
After T310 expired  Radio Link Failure
Current settings:
• N310 = 20 (recommended, no change)
• N311 = 1 (recommended, no change)
• T310 = 2s (recommended, no change)
 UE is released after T310 (2s) + T311 (3s)
Mp load
1.2 RRC Connection setup intensity
(due to UE releases by rLC Supervision)
• RLC re-transmissions are controlled by
– Max # RLC re-transmissions before stopping and indicating to RRC max RLC re-tx reached
• SRB/DRB :: dlMaxRetxThreshold (Current setting: 8/8, recommended, no change)
• SRB/DRB :: ulMaxRetxThreshold (Current setting: 8/8, recommended, no change)
– Poll timer for RLC re-Tx (if no status report received)
• SRB/DRB :: tPollRetransmitDl (Current: 45ms/50ms, recommend 80ms/80ms)
• SRB/DRB :: tPollRetransmitUl (Current: 45ms/50ms, recommend 80ms/80ms)
Re-Tx count
#1
Increase Poll timer may reduce
SE/TTI usage for re-Tx and free
SE/TTI for traffic, but re-Tx time is
extended from 360-400ms to 640ms

2. incoming handovers intensity
• Current setting for handover is
– ReportConfigEUtraBestCell::a3offset = 3dB
– ReportConfigEUtraBestCell:: hysteresisA3 = 1dB
– ReportConfigEUtraBestCell:: timeToTriggerA3 = 40ms
• Propose to change a3offset to 5dB (handover margin increased to
6dB) for high capacity cells to reduce signaling load.
a3offsetAnrDelta remains unchanged
Increase handover margin reduces
handovers and may impact
retainability
Will review feasibility to use
alternative approach on ‘UE Level
