 PCI is contained in DL SS, used for UE cell search and

synchronization
 There are 504 PCI totally, which are divided into 168 groups,
each containing 3 PCIs.
PCI Conflict Type
PCI Collision
 PCI Collision
 If two intra-frequency cells use an identical
PCI but they are poorly isolated, PCI collision
occurs between them. In this case, UEs in the
overlapping area of the two cells cannot
implement signal synchronization or decoding.
PCI Confusion
 PCI Confusion
 If two or more neighbor cell have the same
PCI configuration, then the eNodeB can not
identify them while UE report, which cause
handover call drop

Real Time PCI Conflict
 PCI conflict information can be observed in two ways:
 If PCI ConflictAlarmSwitch in on,the PCI conflict alarm can be
show in alarm panel
 Real-time PCI conflict can be showed in PCI optimization task-

PCI Conflict Detection Based on
eNodeB Parameters Change
 The following 2 scenarios data modification can trigger PCI
conflict detection, function is controlled by license
 If the PCI or frequency of a local cell of any eNodeB changes, the
eNodeB checks the PCI conflict between the local cell and its
external cells
 If the parameter of NCL or NRT is changed ,the eNodeB checks the

PCI conflict between and local cell and its external cells ,as well as
the conflict between the neighbor cells belonging to the same
local cell
PCI Conflict Detection Based on Event
ANR
 ANR is a self-optimization function. It automatically
complete and correct neighbor relationships, when
neighboring cell information in NCL or NRT is changed by
ANR, PCI Conflict detection will be triggered.
PCI Conflict Detection Based on Active
ANR
 Active PCI conflict detection is used to
detect PCI confusions between configured
eNodeB UE
and unconfigured neighboring cells
Measurement configuration
 Active PCI conflict detection based on
Measurement report
ANR is controlled by the
ECGI request ActivePCIConflictSwitch parameter.
ECGI of the best detected cell After this switch is turned on, the eNodeB
proactively checks for PCI conflicts over
Modify neighbor relations and
trigger PCI conflict detection the period specified by StartTime and
EndTime.

 When the parameter of one eNdoeB is changed ,the eNodeB will

informs it’s neighboring eNodeBs, which contains the information of
it’s local cells.
 On receiving X2 eNodeB Configuration Update message ,the eNdoeB
may update the NCL 、NRT information ,therefore triggers PCI
Conflict detection .

Principle of Self - Optimization
 When new PCIs are reallocated, the following factors should be
taken account:
 Consider 1st and 2nd bidirectional neighboring cells to avoid PCI
collision and PCI confusion
 Consider blacklist, the new PCI can not be the same as blacklist
 Consider the relationship between PCI and DL RS
 Consider the relationship between PCI and primary synchronization

Operation in M2000
 Setup PCI Optimization task
 Using “Modify” button to fix the task mode
Summary
 PCI conflict detection and self-optimization is a valid solution to maintain
radio network works normally .
 This solution needs eNodeB and M2000 work together . eNodeB plays a
role in detecting PCI conflict ,and there are many ways to trigger PCI
conflict detection. M2000 handles all the conflict by the means of
reallocating new PCIs to conflicting cells.
 PCI conflict can be observed in the form of log、alarm、and real-time
display.
 When PCI conflict is solved ,the process of handover and synchronization
will be improved , meanwhile, the real-time conflict message will
decrease or disappear.
