2.6.6. New/Enhanced LTE Information Elements

(Qualcomm)
The following IEs were added to the toolbox for LTE performance analysis.
They are based on Qualcomm chipset reporting.
• Specialized block error rates for physical channels PDSCH and PUSCH.
These elements are updated once every second.
– Initial BLER: Percentage of first transmission attempts that failed.
– Residual BLER: Percentage of transport blocks for which all
transmission attempts failed (block was not successfully delivered).
• PUSCH transmission distribution: Distribution of the number of
attempts required to successfully transmit an uplink transport block
(including residual “bin” for blocks where all attempts failed).
• Carrier aggregation: CQI extended to secondary carrier (“Wideband
CQI”).

In addition, the following existing information elements were extended to

Qualcomm devices:
• CQI Periodicity, CQI Report Mode
• DRX Enabled, DRX Inactivity Timer Enabled, DRX On Duration Timer
Enabled, DRX Short Cycle Enabled
• MAC DL/UL Handover First/Last Packet Time (2 × 2 IEs), MAC UL PDU
Handover Interruption Time
• PDCP UL/DL PDU Handover Interruption Time
• PDSCH Resource Block Start
• PUCCH G(i)
• PUSCH Resource Block Start
• RACH RNTI
