Introduction
ICIC is a technology that operates in conjunction with scheduling and power control to reduce
inter-cell interference. ICIC divides the frequency bands of a cell into edge bands and center
bands, and classifies UEs into cell edge users (CEUs) and cell center users (CCUs). It then
uses different band scheduling policies for and allocates different power to different types of
UEs.
Huawei eNodeBs provide the static ICIC and adaptive ICIC functions. This document
describes adaptive ICIC.

RAT Adaptive ICIC Description
Technology
FDD Adaptive ICIC Adaptive ICIC combines centralized

TDD management on the eCoordinator with
distributed control on eNodeBs. This
technology automatically collects inter-cell
interference and edge load data. Based on the
collected data, adaptive ICIC classifies UEs
into CEUs and CCUs; it then adjusts the
allocation of cell edge bands and center bands
to adopt different band scheduling policies for
CEUs and CCUs. This function controls inter-
cell interference.

RAT Adaptive ICIC Description

Technology
FDD Adaptive ICIC plus Adaptive ICIC plus combines centralized

management on the eCoordinator with
distributed control on eNodeBs. This
technology automatically collects inter-cell
interference and cell power data to adjust cell
transmit power accordingly, which effectively
controls inter-cell interference.
Both adaptive ICIC and adaptive ICIC plus
are used in intra-frequency cells with the
same bandwidth. The differences between
them are as follows:
l Adaptive ICIC automatically uses
alternative band scheduling policies for
and allocates different power for CEUs
and CCUs based on the load and
interference data in a specific area.
l Adaptive ICIC plus automatically adjusts
the transmit power in each cell based on
the interference data in a specific area.
Architecture
Adaptive ICIC requires the coordination of the U2000, eCoordinator, and eNodeBs. Figure
3-1 shows the architecture.

4.1 Principles
4.1.1 Related Concepts
4.1.1.1 CEUs and CCUs

Adaptive ICIC classifies UEs into CEUs and CCUs.
l After each UE accesses a cell, adaptive ICIC first sets a preliminary UE attribute (CEU
or CCU) as follows:
– A UE that initially accesses a cell or a UE for which an RRC connection is
reestablished to the cell is recognized as a CCU.
– A UE that is newly handed over to the target cell is recognized as a CEU.
l After 4 seconds following the initial access or handover, the eNodeB uses ICIC event A3
or A6 to determine whether a UE is a CEU or CCU.
– In non-carrier aggregation (non-CA) scenarios, the eNodeB determines CEUs and
CCUs based only on ICIC event A3.
– In CA scenarios, the eNodeB determines CEUs and CCUs based on ICIC event A3
in primary serving cells (PCells) and based on ICIC event A6 in secondary serving
cells (SCells).
ICIC Events A3 and A6

Sections 5.5.4.4 "Event A3 (Neighbour becomes offset better than PCell)" and 5.5.4.6a
"Event A6 (Neighbour becomes offset better than SCell)" in 3GPP TS 36.331 v10.4.0
describe the principles and trigger mechanisms of events A3 and A6, respectively. This
section only provides a brief introduction. Measurements and configurations for ICIC event
A3 are independent of those for event A3 used in handovers. Therefore, parameter settings
and adjustments for ICIC event A3 have no impact on handovers.
UEs perform measurements based on parameter settings from eNodeBs and report the RSRP
of the serving and neighboring cells to the eNodeBs. This process is ICIC event A3 and A6
reporting and is implemented in event-triggered periodical reporting mode. In this mode, UEs

eRAN
periodically report the measurement results associated with an event to the eNodeB after the
event is triggered.
The entering and leaving conditions for ICIC event A3 are as follows:
l Entering condition: Mn + Ofn + Ocn – Hys > Ms + Ofs + Ocs + Off
l Leaving condition: Mn + Ofn + Ocn + Hys < Ms + Ofs + Ocs + Off
The entering and leaving conditions for ICIC event A6 are as follows:
l Entering condition: Mn + Ocn – Hys > Ms + Ocs + Off
l Leaving condition: Mn + Ocn + Hys < Ms + Ocs + Off
ICIC events A3 and A6 share the preceding parameter values except the Off parameter. The
parameters are described as follows:
Paramete Description
r
Mn RSRP measurement result of a neighboring cell
Ms RSRP measurement result of the serving cell
Hys Hysteresis for ICIC event A3 or A6. The CellMcPara.Hysteresis parameter

specifies the hysteresis values for both downlink and uplink ICIC events A3
or A6.
Ofn Frequency offset for a neighboring cell in intra-frequency measurements
Ofs Frequency offset for a serving cell in intra-frequency measurements
Ocn Cell-specific offset for a neighboring cell
Ocs Cell-specific offset for a serving cell
Off Offset parameters. The following parameters are used only to adjust the
probability of reporting ICIC events A3 and A6:
l For adaptive ICIC:
The CellMcPara.A3Offset and CellULIcicMcPara.A3Offset parameters
specify the offset for downlink and uplink ICIC events A3, respectively.
The CellMcPara.A6Offset parameter specifies the offset for ICIC event
A6.
l For adaptive ICIC plus:
The CellDlIcic.AIcIcPlusA3Offset parameter specifies the offset for both
ICIC events A3 and A6.
The CellMcPara.TriggerQuantity parameter specifies the triggering quantity for Mn and Ms

in both downlink and uplink ICIC events A3. In this function, the triggering quantity is RSRP.
The CellMcPara.ReportQuantity parameter specifies the reporting quantity for ICIC events
A3 when the reporting conditions are met.
Downlink or uplink ICIC event A3 for UEs is initially reported only if the entering or leaving
condition is met within a certain specified period of time, which is referred to as time-to-
trigger. The CellMcPara.TimeToTrigger parameter specifies the time-to-trigger for downlink
and uplink ICIC events A3 and prevents a situation known as ping-pong effect.

eRAN
l If the RSRP measurement result of a neighboring cell meets the entering condition for
ICIC event A3, the UE reports the RSRP measurement results of the serving and
neighboring cells to the eNodeB. The CellMcPara.MaxReportCells parameter specifies
the maximum number of neighboring cells to be included in a report for both downlink
and uplink ICIC events A3.
l If the RSRP measurement result of a neighboring cell meets the leaving condition for
ICIC event A3, the UE reports only the RSRP measurement result of the serving cell to
the eNodeB.
Event A3 is reported periodically after the first report. The CellMcPara.ReportInterval

parameter specifies the interval between periodic measurement reports that are sent after
downlink or uplink ICIC event A3 is triggered. A larger parameter value indicates a longer
interval between periodic measurement reports and accordingly a lower frequency of updating
UE location information. A smaller parameter value indicates a higher frequency of reporting
measurement results and more radio resources occupied.
The CellMcPara.ReportAmount parameter specifies the number of periodic reports for both
downlink and uplink ICIC events A3. A larger value results in greater UE power consumption
and a larger increase in the CEU throughput. A smaller value results in less UE power
consumption, but also a less timely reflection of the interference from neighboring cells on
CEUs. This has a negative impact on CEU throughput gains during uplink dynamic ICIC.
Principles of Identifying CEUs and CCUs

Adaptive ICIC identifies CEUs and CCUs using ICIC events A3 and A6 as follows:
l The eNodeB calculates the G factor based on the RSRP of the serving and neighboring
cells contained in the event. This occurs when a UE reports ICIC event A3 or A6 and the
event contains the measurement result of at least one neighboring cell of the serving cell.
If the G factor is less than the sum of CELLDLICIC.DlIcicUserAttrGfactorThd and
AICIC.UajGFactorHyst, the eNodeB identifies the UE as a CEU. Otherwise, the
eNodeB identifies the UE as a CCU.
l If a UE does not report the RSRP of the serving and neighboring cells to the eNodeB, the
eNodeB identifies the UE as a CCU. This occurs when the eNodeB has configured ICIC
event A3 or A6 for a UE, but the event trigger condition is not met.
Scheduling Policies for CEUs and CCUs

There are two types of scheduling policies for CEUs and CCUs:
l Band allocation
– An eNodeB preferentially schedules CCUs on the center band. If there are
remaining resources on the center band after the CCU scheduling is complete, the
eNodeB can schedule CEUs on the center band.
– An eNodeB preferentially schedules CEUs on the edge band. If edge band resources
remain after the CEU scheduling is complete or CCUs have a higher scheduling
priority on the edge band than CEUs, eNodeBs can schedule CCUs on the edge
band.
l Power allocation
eNodeBs allocate higher power for CEUs and lower power for CCUs.

eRAN
4.1.1.2 ICIC Working Modes

Adaptive ICIC can work in three modes: Reuse1, Reuse3, and Reuse6. The division of a cell
band into center and edge bands varies according to the ICIC working mode. If the cell
bandwidth changes, the eCoordinator adjusts the ICIC working mode in the next period.
Reuse1
In Reuse1 mode, the cell band is not divided into center and edge bands. UEs are not
classified into CCUs and CEUs, and all UEs share the cell band. In the downlink, all UEs are
allocated the same power. In the uplink, the transmit power of each UE is determined by the
uplink power control algorithm. For details about power control, see Power Control.
All cells initially work in Reuse1 mode. The following cells can work only in Reuse1 mode:
l Neighboring cells with the same frequency but different bandwidths

l Neighboring cells with the same bandwidth but different frequencies
l Cells each with a bandwidth of 1.4 MHz or 3 MHz
Reuse3
The Reuse3 mode is classified into Type-1 and Type-2, which are selected based on cell load.
In Type-1 Reuse3 mode, a third of the cell band is configured as the edge band, and the
remainder of the cell band is configured as the center band. Figure 4-1 shows the Type-1
Reuse3 mode, where the edge bands of different cells do not overlap with each other.
Figure 4-1 Type-1 Reuse3 mode
There are three edge band patterns in Type-1 Reuse3 mode: Pattern3-1, Pattern3-2, and
Pattern3-3. The three patterns correspond to low, medium, and high sub-bands, respectively.
In each pattern, the edge band occupies a third of the cell band. For example, Pattern3-1
indicates that the lowest cell band works as the edge band.
Figure 4-2 shows the Type-2 Reuse3 mode, where the edge bands of different cells partially
overlap with each other. CEUs in this mode use wider bands than in Type-1 Reuse3 mode.

eRAN
Figure 4-2 Type-2 Reuse3 mode
There are also three edge band patterns in Type-2 Reuse3 mode: Pattern3-1, Pattern3-2, and
Pattern3-3. Each pattern occupies two-thirds of the cell band. For example, if a cell uses
Pattern3-1, the lowest two-thirds of the cell band works as the edge band.
Corresponding to the two types of Reuse3 modes, the eCoordinator can work in two modes:
dynamic mode and static mode.
l In dynamic mode, the eCoordinator instructs cells to work in Type-1 Reuse3 mode. It
periodically and automatically configures and optimizes the ICIC working modes and
edge band modes.
l In static mode, the eCoordinator instructs cells to work in Type-2 Reuse3 mode. It
periodically and automatically configures the ICIC working modes and edge band modes
but does not perform automatic optimization.
Operators can manually configure the working mode of the eCoordinator.
Reuse6
In Reuse6 mode, a sixth of the cell band is configured as the edge band, and the remainder of
the cell band is configured as the center band. Figure 4-3 shows the Reuse6 mode.

eRAN
Figure 4-3 Reuse6 mode
There are six edge band patterns (Pattern6-1 to Pattern6-6) in Reuse6 mode. The six patterns
correspond to six sub-bands in ascending order of frequency. In each pattern, the edge band
occupies a sixth of the cell band. For example, if a cell uses Pattern6-6, the highest sixth of
the cell band works as the edge band. The Reuse6 mode is used only in dynamic mode.
The LTE system uses single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) in the
uplink. Therefore, UEs can work only on continuous uplink bands. To prevent the uplink band
from being too fragmented, the Reuse6 mode is not used in the uplink. In addition, to ensure
sufficient bandwidth of the edge band in the downlink, cells with a bandwidth of 1.4 MHz, 3
MHz, or 5 MHz cannot work in Reuse6 mode in the downlink.
4.1.2 Principles of Adaptive ICIC
4.1.2.1 Working Process for Adaptive ICIC (FDD)

After adaptive ICIC is enabled in FDD cells, the eCoordinator configures and optimizes ICIC
working modes and edge band modes based on inter-cell interference and cell load. Figure
4-4 shows the working process for adaptive ICIC.

eRAN
Figure 4-4 Working process for adaptive ICIC
4.1.2.2 Identification of Areas with High Interference and Heavy Load
Identification of Areas with High Interference

In each optimization period, the eCoordinator identifies areas with high interference based on
cell load and inter-cell interference information reported by eNodeBs. The eCoordinator
configures and optimizes ICIC working modes and edge band modes for cells based on the
identification results.
Areas with high interference are identified as follows:
1. UEs send ICIC A3 or A6 measurement reports to eNodeBs. Each report contains the
RSRP values of the UEs' serving and neighboring cells.

eRAN
2. The eNodeB calculates weights of interference the neighboring cells causes to a local
cell based on the reported RSRP values, records them in an intra-frequency neighboring
relation table (NRT), and periodically reports the NRT to the eCoordinator.
3. The eCoordinator summarizes the cell-level intra-frequency NRTs, generates network-
level NRTs, calculates inter-cell interference weights based on the interference weights
in the network-level NRTs, and identifies areas with high interference. Areas with cells
whose average interference weights are greater than a specified threshold are identified
as high-interference areas.
Identification of Areas with Heavy Load

The eCoordinator determines whether the load conditions in highly interfered areas meet
certain conditions as follows:
1. An eNodeB reports cell load information to the eCoordinator, including the average
physical resource block (PRB) usage and the average number of to-be-scheduled UEs.
2. The eCoordinator determines that the load conditions in highly interfered areas for
adaptive ICIC optimization are met when both the following conditions are met: 1) The
average PRB usage is greater than the value of the HighInterCellRbUsageThd
parameter in more than 30% of the cells. 2) The average number of to-be-scheduled UEs
is greater than the value of the HighInterCellUserNumThd parameter in more than 30%
of the cells. Both HighInterCellRbUsageThd and HighInterCellUserNumThd are
parameters on the eCoordinator.
4.1.2.3 Automatic Configuration and Optimization of ICIC Working Modes and

Edge Band Modes
Automatic Configuration
The eCoordinator periodically configures ICIC working modes and edge band modes based
on cell load and inter-cell interference information.
l For cells in a non-high-interference area or in a high-interference area where load
conditions are not met, the eCoordinator sets the ICIC working mode to Reuse1.
l In static mode, for an area with high interference and whose load meets the conditions,
the eCoordinator sets the ICIC working mode to Type-2 Reuse3 and configures the edge
band mode for each cell.
l In dynamic mode, for an area with high interference and whose load meets the
conditions, the eCoordinator sets the ICIC working mode to Type-1 Reuse3 and
configures the edge band mode for each cell. If two cells have the same edge band mode,
the eCoordinator checks whether the inter-cell interference weights have exceeded a
specified threshold. If yes, the eCoordinator changes the ICIC working modes of the two
cells to Reuse6 and configures different edge band modes for the two cells. If no, the
eCoordinator retains the ICIC working modes and edge band modes of the two cells.
Automatic Optimization
For FDD, inter-cell interference changes with cell load and UE type distribution. Therefore,
adaptive ICIC periodically optimizes ICIC working modes and edge band modes for FDD
cells.
For cells working in Reuse3 and Reuse6 modes:

eRAN
l If the average PRB usage is less than or equal to the value of the
AICIC.CellStatusJudgeRbUsageThd parameter on the eCoordinator, the cells work in
interference randomization state.
In interference randomization state, the actual ICIC working mode of the cells is Reuse1.
However, the start position of the edge band delivered by the eCoordinator is used as the
start position for RB resource allocation.
l If the PRB usage of the cells is greater than the value of the
AICIC.CellStatusJudgeRbUsageThd parameter on the eCoordinator in dynamic mode,
the eCoordinator determines per second whether to reconfigure the cell edge band modes
based on the average number of PRBs used by CEUs.
– If the average number of PRBs used by CEUs in a cell is less than a sixth of the
total number of PRBs on the entire cell band, the eCoordinator sets the ICIC
working mode of the cell to Reuse6 to shrink the cell edge band.
– If the average number of PRBs used by CEUs in a cell is greater than a third of the
total number of PRBs on the entire cell band, the eNodeB attempts to expand the
edge band of this cell to that of a neighboring cell. The eNodeB does so when the
edge band of the neighboring cell is shrunk and there are spare edge bands
available. If the edge band of the neighboring cell has not been shrunk, the eNodeB
retains a fixed edge band equivalent to a third of the entire cell band for the local
cell.
– If the average number of PRBs used by CEUs in a cell is greater than a sixth but
less than a third of the total number of PRBs on the entire cell band, the
eCoordinator sets the ICIC working mode of the cell to Reuse3.
4.2 Network Analysis
4.2.1 Benefits
Adaptive ICIC simplifies ICIC configurations and reduces O&M costs. This function
automatically reduces co-channel interference and increases throughput for CEUs.
4.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
Adaptive ICIC increases CEU throughput on the entire network by reducing interference
between CEUs among cells.
The Cell Downlink Average Throughput, User Uplink Average Throughput, and User
Downlink Average Throughput KPI values decrease because adaptive ICIC reduces the
transmit power for CCUs. The degree of throughput decrease is dependent on the UE
distribution in the cell and it is generally less than 5%.
Adaptive ICIC increases the CEU throughput and enhances network coverage accordingly.
The initial block error rate (IBLER) and residual block error rate (RBLER) increase because
downlink adaptive ICIC reduces the transmit power for CCUs. The degree of increase
depends on UE distribution.
Adaptive ICIC requires that UEs measure and report the RSRP values of neighboring cells to
eNodeBs in event A3 or A6 to identify CEUs and CCUs in a cell. eNodeBs send RRC

eRAN
Connection Reconfigurations messages to inform UEs about new transmit power. This
increases the amount of signaling over the Uu interface and may increase the service drop rate

larger value results in a smaller application
area.
The recommended value is 100.
Average ICICAreaAvgInterT This parameter specifies the average

Interference hd interference threshold of an adaptive ICIC
Threshold of ICIC area. The threshold is used to determine
Area whether to combine two areas into one high-
interference area. When activating adaptive

A smaller value results in a larger
application area, and a larger value results in
a smaller application area.
RB Usage HighInterCellRbU- This parameter specifies the threshold of RB

Identify Switch ch division and identification. When this
parameter is set to ON(On), areas with high
interference and heavy loads are identified
and ICIC takes effect only in these areas.
When this parameter is set to OFF(Off), no
actions are performed to identify areas with
high interference and heavy loads and ICIC
takes effect in the entire optimization area.
User Attr Judge UeAttribJudgeMod This parameter specifies the mode for
Mode e judging UE attributes. If this parameter is set
to BasedFreEff(Base on frequency
efficiency), the eNodeB judges UE attributes
based on spectral efficiency. If this
parameter is set to BasedGFactor(Base on

efficiency), the eNodeB selects UEs whose
spectral efficiency is less than this threshold
as CEUs.
User Attr Judge UeAttribJudgeFreE This parameter specifies the spectral

Spectral Efficiency ffHyst efficiency hysteresis for judging UE
Thld Hyst attributes. If UeAttribJudgeMode is set to
BasedFreEff(Base on frequency
efficiency), this parameter helps alleviate the
UE attribute fluctuation arising from the
spectral efficiency fluctuation.
Cell State Judge RB CellStatusJudgeR- This parameter specifies the RB usage

Usage Threshold bUsageThd threshold for determining the FDD cell
working mode. The eNodeB periodically
calculates the average RB usage of each cell.

to this threshold, the eNodeB sets the cell
working mode to Reuse1 and allocates
resources according to the start position of
the cell edge band delivered from the
eCoordinator.

eRAN
Cell State Judge RB CellStatusJudgeR- This parameter specifies the RB usage

Usage Threshold bUsageHyst hysteresis for determining the FDD cell
Hyst working mode. If the average RB usage of a

G Factor Thld the G factor threshold on the eNodeB. If the
Hysteresis G factor of a CEU is less than the sum of the
G factor threshold and the value of this
parameter, the UE is considered as a CEU to

than the difference between the G factor
threshold and the value of this parameter, the
UE is considered as a CEU to be scheduled.
UE Attribute-based UajGFactorOffset This parameter specifies the offset for the G

G Factor Thld factor threshold on the eNodeB. When a UE
Offset is allocated a G factor and the G factor value
is less than or equal to the difference
between the G factor threshold and the value
of this parameter, the UE is considered as a
CEU to be scheduled.
UE Attribute-based UajAdjustedWbCqi This parameter specifies the wideband CQI

CQI Threshold Thd threshold on the eNodeB. This parameter is
used to determine the attribute (CEU or
CCU) of a UE that does not report event A3.

Data Preparation on the eNodeB

The following parameters are required on the eNodeB for configuring adaptive ICIC.
Table 4-3 describes the measurement control parameters for ICIC events A3 and A6.
Table 4-3 Measurement control parameters

A3 Offset CellMcPara.A3Offset This parameter specifies the signal quality

offset for event A3 between a neighboring
cell and the serving cell. A larger value of
this parameter results in a higher
requirement on neighboring-cell signal
quality for reporting the event.
Hysteresis CellMcPara.Hysteresi This parameter specifies the hysteresis for

s reporting event A3 or A6. This parameter
is used to prevent the ping-pong triggering
of event A3 or A6 measurements and
decision-making errors due to radio signal
fluctuation. For details, see 3GPP TS
36.331.

eRAN
Time to Trigger CellMcPara.TimetoTr This parameter specifies the time-to-

igger trigger for reporting event A3 or A6.
When detecting that the signal quality in
the serving cell and that in at least one
neighboring cell meets the entering
condition, the UE does not report the
event to the eNodeB immediately. Instead,
the UE reports the event only when the
signal quality continuously meets the
entering condition during the time-to-
trigger.
Max Report Cell CellMcPara.MaxRepo This parameter specifies the maximum

Number rtCells number of cells to be included in each
measurement report after event A3 or A6
is triggered. For details, see 3GPP TS
36.331.

mount periodic measurement reports that are sent
after event A3 or A6 is triggered. For
details, see 3GPP TS 36.331.
Report Interval CellMcPara.ReportInt This parameter specifies the interval

erval between periodic measurement reports
that are sent after event A3 or A6 is
triggered. For details, see 3GPP TS
36.331.
Report Quantity CellMcPara.ReportQu This parameter specifies the type of

antity measurement quantity to be included in
the measurement report after event A3 or
A6 is triggered, which can be set to
SAME_AS_TRIG_QUAN(Same as Trig
Quan) or BOTH(Both). The value
SAME_AS_TRIG_QUAN(Same as Trig
Quan) indicates that the type of
measurement quantity to be included in
the measurement report is the same as that
specified by the TriggerQuantity
parameter. The value BOTH(Both)
indicates that both RSRP and RSRQ
values are included in the measurement
report. The measured RSRP values are
stable, slightly varying with the load, and
therefore there is little signal fluctuation.
The measured RSRQ values vary with the
load and are likely to reflect the signal
quality of the cell in real time. For details,
see 3GPP TS 36.331.

eRAN
Trigger Quantity CellMcPara.TriggerQ This parameter specifies the measurement

uantity quantity to be used for triggering event A3
or A6. The values are RSRP and RSRQ.
The measured RSRP values are stable,
slightly varying with the load, and
therefore there is little signal fluctuation.
The measured RSRQ values vary with the
load and are likely to reflect the signal
quality of the cell in real time.
A6 Offset CellMcPara.A6Offset This parameter specifies the signal quality

offset for event A6 between a neighboring
cell and the serving cell. A larger value of
this parameter results in a higher
requirement on neighboring-cell signal
quality for reporting the event.

parameters for a cell.
Table 4-4 PDSCH power control algorithm parameters for a cell

Center UE PA CellDlpcPdsch.CcuPa This parameter specifies the PA value for

CCUs when downlink ICIC is enabled.
Edge UE PA CellDlpcPdsch.CeuPa This parameter specifies the PA value for

CEUs when downlink ICIC is enabled.
Table 4-5 describes downlink ICIC algorithm parameters for a cell.

eRAN
Table 4-5 Downlink ICIC algorithm parameters for a cell
User Attribution CellDlIcic.DlIcicUser This parameter specifies the G factor

Gfactor Threshold AttrGfactorThd threshold for UE attribute determination in
downlink adaptive ICIC. When downlink
adaptive ICIC is enabled, the eNodeB
selects CEUs from the UEs whose G
factors are less than this threshold.
Determine the parameter value based on
the distribution of UEs' modulation and
coding scheme (MCS) indexes within an
area so that about one third of the UEs are
determined to be CEUs. For example, if an
area is covered by 155 cells and the
percentages of UEs whose MCS indexes
are less than 6 and 7 are about 30% and
40%, respectively, you can set this
parameter to 1. (The G factors
corresponding to MCS indexes 6 and 7 are
0.5 dB and 1.45 dB, respectively.) The G
factors corresponding to MCS indexes 0 to
28 are -5.65, -4.5, -3.55, -2.35, -1.5, -0.5,
0.5, 1.45, 2.45, 3.4, 3.7, 4.4, 5.4, 6.3, 7.25,
8.3, 8.95, 9.6, 10.15, 11.15, 12.1, 13.15,
14.05, 15.1, 16, 17, 18.1, 19, and 20.1,
respectively.
Table 4-6 describes the downlink ICIC scheduling policy parameter.
Table 4-6 Downlink ICIC scheduling policy parameter
Downlink ICIC CellDlschAlgo.DlIcicS This parameter specifies the scheduling

Schedule Mode chMode policy used when downlink ICIC is
enabled. If this parameter is set to
EDGE_USER_NO_PRIO, both CCUs
and CEUs can preempt edge bands,
thereby improving CCUs' performance. If
this parameter is set to
EDGE_USER_PRIO, CCUs are
scheduled at both the center band and the
edge band only after CEUs have been
scheduled at the edge band, thereby
improving CEUs' performance.
Table 4-7 describes the cell-level algorithm parameters.

eRAN
Table 4-7 Cell-level algorithm parameters

DL schedule switch CellAlgoSwitch.DlSch This parameter specifies the switches

Switch related to downlink scheduling in the cell.
The switches are used to enable or disable
specific downlink scheduling functions.
FreqSelSwitch: Indicates whether to
enable frequency selective scheduling. If
this option is selected, data is transmitted
on the frequency band of good signal
quality.
Uplink schedule CellAlgoSwitch.UlSch This parameter specifies the switches

switch Switch related to uplink scheduling in the cell.
The switches are used to enable or disable
specific uplink scheduling functions.
UlEnhancedFssSwitch: Indicates whether
to enable uplink load-based enhanced

UlEnhancedDopplerSwitch: Indicates
whether to enable enhanced uplink
scheduling based on mobility speed. If this
option is selected, enhanced uplink
scheduling based on mobility speed is
enabled and the uplink performance of
low-mobility UEs can be further
improved. The eNodeB determines
whether a UE is a low-mobility UE based
on the Doppler measurements at the
physical layer. If this option is deselected,
enhanced uplink scheduling based on
mobility speed is disabled. Enhanced
uplink scheduling based on mobility speed
takes effect only when the
CellUlschAlgo.DopMeasLevel parameter
is set to CLASS_1. This option does not
take effect on cells established on an
LBBPc.

Strategy uplink of a cell. If this parameter is set to
FS_NONFS_ADAPTIVE, this strategy
adaptively switches between frequency
selective scheduling and non-frequency
selective scheduling. If this parameter is
set to FS_INRANDOM_ADAPTIVE,
this strategy adaptively switches between
frequency selective scheduling and
interference-randomization-based
scheduling.
Table 4-9 describes the PDCCH algorithm parameter for a cell.

PDCCH Symbol CellPdcchAlgo.Pdcch This parameter specifies whether to enable

Number Adjust SymNumSwitch dynamic adjustment on the number of
Switch orthogonal frequency division
multiplexing (OFDM) symbols occupied
by the physical downlink control channel
(PDCCH). If this parameter is set to OFF,
the number of OFDM symbols occupied
by the PDCCH is fixed and cannot be
dynamically adjusted. If this parameter is
set to ON, the number of OFDM symbols
occupied by the PDCCH is dynamically
adjusted based on the number of control
channel elements (CCEs) required by the
PDCCH. If this parameter is set to
ECFIADAPTIONON, the number of
OFDM symbols occupied by the PDCCH
is dynamically adjusted based on the cell
downlink throughput, and the adjustment
performance is the best among the three
methods.

eRAN
Adaptive ICIC Feature Parameter Description 5 Adaptive ICIC Plus (FDD)
5 Adaptive ICIC Plus (FDD)
5.1 Principles
5.1.1 Identifying CEUs

Adaptive ICIC plus classifies UEs into CEUs and CCUs and determines power adjustment
policies based on interference data of CEUs. eNodeBs determine whether a UE is a CEU
based on the UE-reported ICIC event A3 or A6. In non-CA scenarios, eNodeBs only use
event A3 for the determination. In CA scenarios, eNodeBs use event A3 for determination in
the PCell and use event A6 in the SCell. For details about ICIC event A3 or A6, see ICIC
Events A3 and A6.
The principle of identifying CEUs based on ICIC event A3 or A6 is as follows: If a UE
reports ICIC event A3 or A6 and the measurement report contains the measurement result of
at least one neighboring cell of a serving cell, the eNodeB identifies the UE as a CEU.
5.1.2 Implementation of Adaptive ICIC Plus

After adaptive ICIC plus is enabled, the eCoordinator automatically optimizes the downlink
transmit power of each cell based on cell interference. Figure 5-1 shows the working process
for adaptive ICIC plus.

eRAN
Figure 5-1 Working process for adaptive ICIC plus
The working process is as follows:

1. The eNodeB selects an interference coordination set.
The eNodeB collects UEs' neighboring cell information that meets A3/A6 reporting
conditions within a period of time. It calculates the number of times each cell is
contained in event A3 or A6 and selects the top 10 cells as cells causing strong
interference to the local cell. The eNodeB periodically updates information about highly
interfering neighboring cells.
– In non-CA scenarios, the eNodeB determines these neighboring cells based only on
event A3.
– In CA scenarios, the eNodeB determines these neighboring cells based on event A3
in the PCell and based on event A6 in the SCells.
2. The eNodeB collects cell interference information.
The eNodeB calculates inter-cell interference based on the RSRP of serving and
neighboring cells contained in event A3 or A6.
3. The eCoordinator optimizes the downlink transmit power on the entire network based on
interference data.

eRAN
The eNodeB sends cell interference information to the eCoordinator over the Se
interface. The eCoordinator delivers the optimized cell power to each eNodeB over the
Se interface.
4. The eNodeB updates the downlink transmit power.
The eNodeB updates the cell-level transmit power of each cell based on the latest power
delivered from the eCoordinator.
5. The eNodeB updates the PA value for UEs.
If the downlink transmit power of a cell changes, the latest PA value is used to transmit
data to newly accessed UEs in the downlink. The PA value is reconfigured to transmit
data to online non-extreme-edge UEs with heavy traffic in the downlink.
Adaptive ICIC Plus Activation

The eCoordinator can select all or some cells served by multiple eNodeBs as an optimization
area for adaptive ICIC plus, and optimize the downlink adaptive ICIC plus algorithm. A
larger optimization area with more continuous coverage enables adaptive ICIC plus to provide
better optimization performance.
Users can enable or disable adaptive ICIC plus by running MML commands on the LMT.
After adaptive ICIC plus is enabled, the eCoordinator automatically optimizes the downlink
transmit power of each cell based on cell interference.
Automatic Downlink Transmit Power Optimization

Inter-cell interference changes with cell load and UE type distribution. Adaptive ICIC plus
can periodically optimize cell downlink transmit power. The working process is as follows:
1. UEs send ICIC A3 or A6 measurement reports to eNodeBs. Each report contains the
RSRP values of the UEs' serving and neighboring cells.
2. eNodeBs calculate the weight of interference a neighboring cell causes to the local cell
based on the CellDlIcic.AIcIcPlusA3Offset setting and the RSRP contained in the
measurement report, and periodically report the interference weight and cell transmit
power to the eCoordinator.
3. The eCoordinator summarizes the cell interference weights and transmit power reported
from each eNodeB, periodically calculates the optimal downlink transmit power of each
cell, and sends the results to the eNodeBs.
4. eNodeBs then adjust cell downlink transmit power based on the power adjustment
instructions sent from the eCoordinator and the power adjustment range configured on
the eNodeB.
The cell downlink power adjustment range is specified by the
CellDlIcic.AIcicPlusPCAdjRange parameter, and the parameter value must be less than
the CellDlpcPdschPa.PaPcOff parameter value. That is, the cell downlink transmit
power can only be tuned downwards based on the preset baseline power.
UEs complying with 3GPP Release 8 change PDSCH PA values as instructed by RRC
signaling messages. More cell power adjustment ranges and finer adjustment result in
more RRC signaling. Therefore, adaptive ICIC plus provides a maximum of three power
adjustment ranges.
The following provides examples of setting cell power adjustment ranges:
– If the CellDlpcPdschPa.PaPcOff parameter is set to DB_3_P_A(-3 dB) and the
DB_6_P_A and DB_4DOT77_P_A options of the

eRAN
CellDlIcic.AIcicPlusPCAdjRange parameter are selected, power is adjusted in the

range of [–6 dB, –4.77 dB, –3 dB].
– If the CellDlpcPdschPa.PaPcOff parameter is set to DB_3_P_A(-3 dB) and the
DB_4DOT77_P_A option of the CellDlIcic.AIcicPlusPCAdjRange parameter is
selected, power is adjusted in the range of [–4.77 dB, –3 dB].
5.2 Network Analysis
5.2.1 Benefits
Adaptive ICIC plus increases UE throughput in heavy load cells by reducing co-channel
interference among these cells, thereby increasing CEU throughput on the entire network.
5.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
Adaptive ICIC plus has the following impacts on the network-wide downlink throughput and
downlink data rates in the deployment area:
l If the average PRB usage is about 30%, the CEU throughput increases by about 10% and
the average UE throughput does not decrease. The average UE throughput includes User
Uplink Average Throughput and User Downlink Average Throughput.
l If the average PRB usage reaches 70%, the CEU throughput increases by about 30% and
the average UE throughput increases by about 15%.
l If loads of cells in the area are balanced, the average UE throughput and CEU throughput
do not increase.
l The network-wide cell throughput decreases slightly due to a decrease in the throughput
of lightly loaded cells. The cell throughput includes Cell Uplink Average Throughput
and Cell Downlink Average Throughput. Radio and transmission resources are
sufficient in lightly loaded cells, and more frequency domain resources can be used to
compensate long transmission time issues. Therefore, the total downlink traffic volume
of such cells and UE experience will not deteriorate.
The preceding impacts depend on the following factors:
l Inter-cell interference on the network
Smaller inter-cell RRU distances result in more gains.
l Load distribution on the network
On live networks, cell load is represented by the downlink PRB usage in individual cells.
More imbalanced load distribution between cells results in more gains.
NOTE
If CA is enabled, the data rate gains of CEUs are determined by the coverage of the PCell and
SCells. If the PCell and SCells cover the same area, the data rate gains of CEUs are not affected by
CA. If the PCell and SCells cover different areas, the data rate gains of CEUs are mainly
determined by the data rate at the edge of the PCell and the gains do not sufficiently reflect the
data rate at the edge of the SCells.
l Overall network load
The gains in average downlink UE throughput initially increase, and then decrease as the
total network load increases.

eRAN
Adaptive ICIC plus requires that UEs measure and report the RSRP values of neighboring
cells to eNodeBs in event A3 or A6 to identify CEUs and CCUs in a cell. eNodeBs send RRC
Connection Reconfigurations messages to inform UEs about new transmit power. Therefore,
adaptive ICIC plus increases signaling messages transmitted over the Uu interface.

5.4 Operation and Maintenance
5.4.1 Data Configuration

Either adaptive ICIC or adaptive ICIC plus can be enabled, and adaptive ICIC plus is
recommended.
Adaptive ICIC plus increases downlink CEU throughput and does not negatively affect
average downlink UE throughput.
Adaptive ICIC plus measures interference based on downlink RSRP. If the network
interference characteristics change rapidly, the RSRP-based measurement cannot sufficiently
reflect interference. It is therefore recommended that the UE mobility rate be lower than 10
km/h on the network where adaptive ICIC plus is to be enabled.

accurate detection of user attributes and scheduling
resource coordination, increasing the cell edge
throughput. This option applies only to LTE TDD.
UlEnhancedSrSchSwitch: Indicates whether uplink re-
scheduling is performed only when the On Duration
timer for the DRX long cycle starts. Uplink re-
scheduling is required if the number of HARQ
retransmissions for a scheduling request (SR) reaches
the maximum value but the scheduling still fails. If
this option is selected, uplink re-scheduling is
performed only when the On Duration timer for the
DRX long cycle starts. If this option is deselected,
uplink re-scheduling is performed immediately when
the number of HARQ retransmissions for SR reaches
the maximum value but the scheduling still fails. It is
recommended that this option be selected for live

UeAmbrUlSchSwitch: Indicates whether the eNodeB
performs uplink scheduling based on the aggregate
maximum bit rate (AMBR) of UEs. If this option is
selected, the eNodeB prioritizes UEs based on the
AMBRs of UEs during uplink scheduling. This option
UlEnhancedDopplerSwitch: Indicates whether to
enable enhanced uplink scheduling based on mobility
speed estimation. If this option is selected, enhanced
uplink scheduling based on mobility speed estimation
is enabled. In enhanced uplink scheduling based on
mobility speed estimation, the eNodeB uses Doppler
measurement results to identify low-speed UEs to
further improve uplink performance of low-speed
UEs. If this option is deselected, enhanced uplink
scheduling based on mobility speed is disabled.
Enhanced uplink scheduling based on mobility speed
takes effect only when the DopMeasLevel parameter

number of preambles to perform flow control on UEs

accessing the cell.
UlLast2RetransSchOptSwitch: Indicates whether to

optimize the scheduling policy for the last two
retransmissions. If this option is selected, the
scheduling policy is optimized for the last two
retransmissions. If the UE transmit power is not
limited, adaptive retransmission is used, and the
number of RBs increases in the last two
retransmissions to increase the receive success rate of
the last two retransmissions and decrease uplink
RBLER. If this option is deselected, the scheduling
policy is not optimized for the last two
retransmissions. This option applies only to LTE FDD
and LTE TDD.

scenarios: (1) If this option is selected, uplink MU
MIMO can be performed for UEs whose MCS index
is reduced to increase the number of available RBs.
(2) If this option is deselected, uplink MU MIMO
cannot be performed for UEs whose MCS index is
reduced to increase the number of available RBs. In
massive MIMO scenarios: (1) If the option is selected,
the eNodeB loosens up the beam determination
criteria for uplink MU MIMO pairing. (2) If this
option is deselected, the eNodeB does not loosen up
such criteria. This option applies only to LTE TDD.
