UL CoMP Feature Parameter Description 3 General Principles
3 General Principles
Uplink coordinated multipoint reception (UL CoMP) converts inter-cell interference into
useful information by coordinating multiple cells based on the channel status and data
information shared between the cells. UL CoMP breaks through the limitation of single-cell
transmission on spectral efficiency, enhances network coverage, and improves cell
performance, especially cell edge UE performance.
UL CoMP is similar to multiple-antenna reception. The difference is that the former uses
multiple cells' antennas for reception while the latter uses a single cell's antennas for
reception. UL CoMP performs joint reception in multiple cells based on multiple-cell
interference rejection combining (IRC), which is similar to single-cell IRC. For details about
IRC, see MRC and IRC Receivers.
Table 3-1 describes the application scopes of UL CoMP functions. For the definitions of
type-1 and type-2 UEs, see 3.1 Definitions.

3.1 Definitions
UL CoMP Cells
Cells involved in UL CoMP are described as follows:
l Macro cell: a cell with high transmit power and large coverage radius, for example, a
cell served by a macro base station.
l Micro cell: a cell with low transmit power and small coverage radius, for example, a cell
served by a micro or LampSite eNodeB or a cell served by a macro eNodeB with low
transmit power.
l Cooperating cell: a cell working with the serving cell for joint reception.
NOTE
Macro cells have the following types:

l 1T1R cells with the RRU transmit power greater than 5 W
l 2T2R and 4T4R cells with the RRU transmit power greater than 10 W
l 8T8R cells
l Single frequency network (SFN) cells
Micro cells have the following types:
l 1T1R cells with the RRU transmit power not greater than 5 W
l 2T2R and 4T4R cells with the RRU transmit power not greater than 10 W
UL CoMP Types
The serving and cooperating cells can be macro, micro, or SFN cells. Accordingly, UL CoMP
has the following types:
l Macro-macro CoMP: performed between macro cells
l Micro-micro CoMP: performed between micro cells
l Macro-micro CoMP: performed between macro and micro cells
l SFN CoMP: performed between SFN cells or between non-SFN and SFN cells.
UL CoMP UEs
A UL CoMP UE is a UE whose signals are jointly received by the antennas of multiple cells.
There are two types of UL CoMP UEs:
l Type-1 UE: located in the overlapping area between the serving and neighboring cells.
UL CoMP for this type of UE is called type-1 UL CoMP. The gains of this type of UEs
come from signal combining gains.

eRAN
l Type-2 UE: located in a cooperating cell and allocated physical resource blocks (PRBs)
that overlap the type-1 UE's PRBs. UL CoMP for this type of UE is called type-2 UL
CoMP. The gains of this type of UEs come from interference mitigation gains.
RSRP Difference
Reference signal received power (RSRP) difference (dB) = Neighboring cell RSRP (dBm) –
Serving cell RSRP (dBm)
3.2 Measurement for UL CoMP

This section describes the measurement methods used for UL CoMP, including downlink
RSRP measurement, uplink sounding reference signal (SRS) measurement, and uplink
demodulation reference signal (DMRS) measurement.
Downlink RSRP measurement requires event A3 parameters to be set. For details, see 3.2.1
Downlink RSRP Measurement.
Uplink SRS measurement is recommended in macro-micro and SFN scenarios. For details,
see 3.2.2 Uplink SRS Measurement, 4.1.1.2 Macro-Micro CoMP, and 4.1.1.3 SFN CoMP.
For FDD, uplink DMRS measurement is recommended when network load is low and
enhanced intra-/inter-eNodeB UL CoMP is enabled. For details, see 3.2.3 Uplink DMRS
Measurement (FDD) and Enhanced Intra-/Inter-eNodeB UL CoMP (FDD).
3.2.1 Downlink RSRP Measurement

A UE measures downlink RSRP and reports measurement results when event A3 reporting
conditions are met. The following provides the related information:
l For the parameters related to event A3 used in UL CoMP, see Table 3-2.
l For other measurement parameters, which are the same as those for intra-frequency
handover, see Mobility Management in Connected Mode.
l For details about event A3, see section 5.5.4.4 "Event A3 (Neighbour becomes offset
better than PCell)" in 3GPP TS 36.331 V10.1.0.

Report Interval CellMcPara.ReportInterval The reporting interval can

be adaptively adjusted. This
A3 Measurement Control CellMcPara.A3MCAdaptiv adjustment function is
Adaptive Switch eSwitch controlled by the
UlCoMPA3RptIntervalAd
apt option of the
CellMcPara.A3MCAdaptiv
eSwitch parameter.
l If this option is
deselected, the reporting
interval is specified by
the
CellMcPara.ReportInte
rval parameter.
l If this option is selected,
the reporting interval can
be adaptively adjusted as
follows:
– When the number of
UEs in connected
mode increases to a
value greater than
200, the reporting
interval is prolonged
by the eNodeB to
reduce resource
consumption for UL
CoMP–related
measurement.
– When the number of
UEs in connected
mode decreases to a
value less than 180,
the reporting interval
is shortened to the
value of
CellMcPara.ReportI
nterval to avoid ping-
pong adjustments.
3.2.2 Uplink SRS Measurement

Uplink SRS measurement is a procedure where a UE periodically sends SRSs and the
eNodeB estimates the uplink RSRP based on the received SRSs.

eRAN
SRS Measurement Mechanism Selection

SRS measurement mechanisms determine what neighboring cells are selected for a UE to
send SRSs and how these neighboring cells are added. There are two mechanisms: one is for
common use and the other is for UL CoMP. Both are controlled by parameters:
l To enable common SRS measurement, set the
NCellSrsMeasPara.SrsAutoNCellMeasSwitch parameter to ON and set the
NCellSrsMeasPara.NCellSrsMeasA3Offset parameter.
l To enable UL CoMP–specific SRS measurement, perform the following operations:
– Set the NCellSrsMeasPara.SrsAutoNCellMeasSwitch parameter to OFF.
– Select the UlHetnetCompOnUlRsrpSw option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UplinkCompSwitch parameter.
Table 3-3 describes the measurement mechanisms. The two mechanisms are mutually
exclusive. Common SRS measurement applies to macro-micro and SFN CoMP. UL CoMP–
specific SRS measurement applies only to macro-micro CoMP.
For UL CoMP–specific SRS measurement, the neighboring cell selection method is
determined by the UlHetnetCompManualNcellCfgSw option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UplinkCompSwitch parameter:
l When this option is deselected, neighboring cells are automatically selected for SRS
measurement.
l When this option is selected, neighboring cells need to be manually selected for SRS
measurement.
Table 3-3 SRS measurement mechanisms

SRS Measurement Neighboring Cell Description
Mechanism Selection Method
Common SRS measurement Automatic A local cell selects

neighboring cells based on
measurement results in
event A3 reports.
UL CoMP–specific SRS Automatic A micro cell selects its

measurement home macro cell
(neighboring cell) based on
handover relationship. Then,
the macro cell adds this
micro cell to its neighboring
cell list.
Manual The relationship between

macro and micro cells is
manually configured by
setting the
EutranIntraFreqN-
Cell.AttachCellSwitch
parameter to ON for macro
and micro cells.

eRAN
NOTE
The following base stations do not support common SRS measurement:

UL CoMP Feature Parameter Description 4 Intra-BBP UL CoMP
4 Intra-BBP UL CoMP
4.1 Principles
Intra-BBP UL CoMP is controlled by the UlJointReceptionSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UplinkCompSwitch parameter. Unless otherwise stated, this option needs to
be selected for the serving and cooperating cells.
Intra-BBP UL CoMP can be used in macro-macro, micro-micro, macro-micro, and SFN
scenarios. The main procedures are measurement, UL CoMP entry, and UL CoMP exit.
Macro-micro CoMP can be enabled when both the UlJointReceptionSwitch and
UlHetnetJointReceptionSwitch options of the CellAlgoSwitch.UplinkCompSwitch
parameter are selected.
Macro-micro CoMP and micro-micro CoMP require that the radius of a micro cell be greater
than 300 m. That is, the Cell.CellRadius parameter must be set to a value greater than 300.
For FDD, only UEs using QPSK or 16QAM can be treated as type-1 UEs in 4R cells.
For TDD, there are the following constraints:
l UEs using QPSK or 16QAM can be treated as type-1 UEs. In some scenarios in 2R or
4R cells, UEs using 64QAM can also be treated as type-1 UEs.
l In 8R cells, UL CoMP can be performed only when uplink-downlink subframe
configuration 2 is used.
l If uplink-downlink subframe configuration 1 is used, UL CoMP is not recommended.
4.1.1 Measurement
RSRP measurement methods vary depending on the types of UL CoMP.
4.1.1.1 Macro-Macro and Micro-Micro CoMP

Downlink RSRP measurement results are used in both macro-macro and micro-micro CoMP.
For related parameters, see 3.2.1 Downlink RSRP Measurement.
4.1.1.2 Macro-Micro CoMP

In macro-micro scenarios, there is a difference in cell-specific reference signal (CRS) transmit
power between macro and micro cells. In some areas, the uplink RSRP difference meets UL

eRAN
CoMP entry conditions but the downlink RSRP difference does not meet UL CoMP event A3
triggering conditions. If only downlink RSRP measurement results are used, event A3 cannot
be triggered and measurement results cannot be reported in the areas. Therefore:
l When the difference in CRS transmit power between macro and micro cells is less than 6
dB, downlink RSRP measurement results are used.
l When the difference in CRS transmit power between macro and micro cells is not less
than 6 dB, it is recommended that both downlink RSRP and uplink SRS measurement
results be considered. If either of the measurement results meets requirements, UL
CoMP can be performed. For details about how to configure uplink SRS measurement,
see 3.2.2 Uplink SRS Measurement.
The downlink RSRP difference needs to be corrected in macro-micro CoMP:

l When a macro cell checks whether a micro cell can be a cooperating cell, it corrects the
RSRP difference using the following formula:
RSRP difference after correction = RSRP difference before correction + (Pmacro –
Pmicro)
l When a micro cell checks whether a macro cell can be a cooperating cell, it corrects the
RSRP difference using the following formula:
RSRP difference after correction = RSRP difference before correction – (Pmacro –
Pmicro)
Pmacro denotes the transmit power of the macro cell in dBm. Pmicro denotes the transmit power
of the micro cell in dBm. For details about how to calculate cell transmit power, see Cell
Management.
4.1.1.3 SFN CoMP

SFN CoMP uses different measurement results for different neighboring cells:
l If neighboring cells are non-SFN cells, downlink RSRP measurement results are used.
l For FDD, if neighboring cells are SFN cells, uplink SRS or DMRS measurement results
are used. The two measurement modes are mutually exclusive and only one of them can
be selected. For details about how to configure uplink SRS measurement and uplink
DMRS measurement, see 3.2.2 Uplink SRS Measurement and 3.2.3 Uplink DMRS
Measurement (FDD).
l For TDD, if neighboring cells are SFN cells, uplink SRS measurement results are used.
For details about how to configure uplink SRS measurement, see 3.2.2 Uplink SRS
Measurement.
NOTE
SRS resources in SFN cells are preferentially allocated to UEs for SFN-related measurement so that the
eNodeB can select target radio frequency (RF) modules and determine UE attributes. If there are many
UEs in SFN cells, SRS resources used for uplink RSRP measurement may be insufficient and the
number of UL CoMP UEs may be less than that in UL CoMP between non-SFN cells.
4.1.2 Entering UL CoMP
Type-1 UL CoMP
Figure 4-1 illustrates the type-1 UL CoMP entry procedure.

eRAN
Figure 4-1 Type-1 UL CoMP entry procedure
1. For details about step 1 in the preceding figure, see 4.1.1 Measurement.
2. A UE is identified as a type-1 UE when the RSRP difference is greater than a specified
threshold.
For FDD, the threshold is specified by different parameters in different scenarios:
– If downlink RSRP measurement is used, the threshold is specified by the
CellUlCompAlgo.UlCompA3Offset parameter.
– If uplink SRS or DMRS measurement is used, the threshold is specified by the
CellUlCompAlgo.UlCompUlRsrpOffset parameter.
For TDD, the threshold is specified by the CellUlCompAlgo.UlCompA3Offset
parameter.
3. The reported neighboring cells are sorted by RSRP difference in descending order and
selected as cooperating cells in that order for the type-1 UE.
4. For details about step 4 in the preceding figure, see Type-2 UL CoMP.
5. For details about step 5 in the preceding figure, see MRC and IRC Receivers.
For 2, note the following items:
l A type-1 UE can enter UL CoMP only when its serving cell has enough PRBs.
l A UE handed over from a source cell to an intra-frequency cell for a coverage reason is
directly identified as a type-1 UE, and the source cell is selected as a cooperating cell.
l VoIP UEs can be preferentially treated as type-1 UEs. For TDD, this function is
controlled by the VoipPrioSw option of the CellAlgoSwitch.UplinkCompSwitch
parameter, and this option needs to be selected only in the serving cell.For FDD, this
function is enabled by default, not under switch control.
l For TDD, UL CoMP UEs can be selected for pairing in MU-MIMO in common 8T8R
cells. This function is controlled by the SimplePairedCompSw option of the
For 3, note the following items:

eRAN
l If the transmission delay between a neighboring cell's RRU and the BBU differs from
that between the serving cell's RRU and the BBU, the neighboring cell can be selected as
a cooperating cell only when the distances between the RRUs and BBU do not exceed 20
km. If the transmission delays are the same, there is no such restriction on the distances
between the RRUs and BBU.
l For details about how to select a cooperating cell, see Type-1 UL CoMP.
NOTE
The specific transmission delays are related to the fiber lengths between the BBU and RRUs.
Type-2 UL CoMP
In a cooperating cell of a type-1 UE, a UE can be identified as a type-2 UE if it is allocated
PRBs that overlap the type-1 UE's PRBs.
Type-2 UL CoMP can be performed if the serving cell of type-2 UE meets the following
conditions:
l This cell has sufficient PRBs.
l This cell's cooperating cell list includes the serving cell of the type-1 UE.
For details about type-2 UL CoMP, see Type-2 UL CoMP.
UL CoMP Rollback
UL CoMP rollback is controlled by the UlCompRollbackSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UplinkCompSwitch parameter. This option takes effect only for the LBBPc.
NOTE
Since eRAN12.1, the UlCompRollbackSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.UplinkCompSwitch

parameter has not been used internally and the corresponding function takes effect by default. Therefore,
you are advised not to use this option.
The eNodeB monitors the changes in the signals and interference in the serving and
neighboring cells served by the LBBPc in real time. If it is hard to reduce interference from
neighboring cells but UL CoMP is still performed, the uplink UE throughput will decrease.
When the rollback function is enabled, UL CoMP is not performed even when the entry
conditions are met.
4.1.3 Exiting UL CoMP

A UE exits UL CoMP when the RSRP difference is less than a specified threshold.
For FDD, the threshold is specified by different parameters in different scenarios:
l If downlink RSRP measurement is used, the threshold is specified by the
CellUlCompAlgo.UlCompA3Offset parameter.
l If uplink SRS or DMRS measurement is used, the threshold is specified by the
CellUlCompAlgo.UlCompUlRsrpOffset parameter.
For TDD, the threshold is specified by the CellUlCompAlgo.UlCompA3Offset parameter.
4.1.4 UL CoMP Enhancement Functions

The following types of UL CoMP are enhanced:

eRAN
l Intra-BBP UL CoMP
l Intra-eNodeB inter-BBP UL CoMP
l UL CoMP based on eNodeB coordination
Enhanced Intra-/Inter-eNodeB UL CoMP (FDD)

Enhanced intra-/inter-eNodeB UL CoMP is controlled by the EnhancedUlCompSwitch
option of the CellAlgoSwitch.UplinkCompSwitch parameter. The specific mechanism is as
follows:
l If downlink RSRP measurement is used, uplink DMRS or SRS measurement can also be
used to expand the UL CoMP application scope. UEs with the uplink RSRP difference
greater than the CellUlCompAlgo.UlCompUlRsrpOffset parameter value can be
selected for UL CoMP. DMRS measurement is controlled by the
NCellDmrsMeasSwitch option of the NCellSrsMeasPara.NCellMeasSwitch
parameter. SRS measurement is controlled by the
NCellSrsMeasPara.SrsAutoNCellMeasSwitch parameter.
l If the value of CellUlCompAlgo.UlCompUlRsrpOffset is not less than the value of
CellUlCompAlgo.UlCompA3Offset, enhanced intra-/inter-eNodeB UL CoMP cannot
take effect.
In SFN and macro-micro scenarios, SRS or DMRS measurement can be used. In macro-
macro and micro-micro scenarios, only DMRS measurement can be used.
3-Cell UL CoMP
If 3-cell UL CoMP is enabled in the serving cell, two cooperating cells can be selected for UL
CoMP. 3-cell UL CoMP is controlled by the UlJointReception3CellSwitch option of the
For FDD, this option needs to be selected only for the serving cell.
For TDD, this option also needs to be selected for the two cooperating cells. When uplink-
downlink subframe configuration 1 is used, 3-cell UL CoMP is not supported.
High-Order UL CoMP (FDD)

High-order UL CoMP can be performed when its switch and the 3-cell UL CoMP switch are
both turned on in the serving cell. A maximum of three cells can be selected as the
cooperating cells. High-order UL CoMP is controlled by the
UL_HIGH_ORDER_COMP_FOR_2R option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UlHighOrderCompSwitch parameter. To make full use of the UE transmit
power, you are advised to also select the SchedulerCtrlPowerSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UlSchSwitch parameter in the serving cell.

eRAN
4.1.5 UL CoMP Function Examples
Figure 4-2 UL CoMP deployment environment
Type-1 UL CoMP
Type-1 UL CoMP selects a cooperating cell as follows:
1. Sorts the neighboring cells (B, C, and D) of the serving cell (A) in descending order by
RSRP difference based on event A3 reported by UE 1 in cell A. Assume that cell A has
sufficient PRBs and the sequence is cell B > cell C > cell D.
2. Removes cell B from the cooperating cell list as the distance between its RRU and BBU
is greater than 20 km while the RRUs of other cells are deployed together with the BBU.
3. Selects cell C as a cooperating cell.
Type-2 UL CoMP
Assume that UE 1 in cell A is a type-1 UE and cell B is a cooperating cell of UE 1. UE 2 in
cell B and UE 1 have overlapping PRBs. When cell B has sufficient PRBs, UE 2 enters type-2
UL CoMP as follows:

eRAN
l If the cooperating cell list of cell B includes cell A, UE 2 can enter type-2 UL CoMP.
l If the cooperating cell list of cell B does not include cell A, UE 2 cannot enter type-2 UL
CoMP.
3-Cell UL CoMP and High-Order UL CoMP (FDD)

Assume that UE 2 meets both type-1 and type-2 UL CoMP conditions. UE 2 enters 3-cell UL
CoMP and high-order UL CoMP as follows:
l When 3-cell UL CoMP is disabled in cell B:

UE 2 can enter only type-1 UL CoMP, where the cooperating cell is cell C.
l When 3-cell UL CoMP is enabled and high-order UL CoMP is disabled in cell B:
Two cells can be selected as the cooperating cells for UE 2. Type-1 and type-2 UL CoMP
can be performed for the UE at the same time. The cooperating cell for type-1 UL CoMP
is cell C, and the cooperating cell for type-2 UL CoMP is cell A or D.
l When 3-cell UL CoMP and high-order UL CoMP are both enabled in cell B:
Three cells can be selected as the cooperating cells for UE 2. Type-1 and type-2 UL
CoMP can be performed for the UE at the same time. The cooperating cell for type-1 UL
CoMP is cell C, and the cooperating cells for type-2 UL CoMP are cells A and D.
3-Cell UL CoMP (TDD)

Assume that UE 2 meets both type-1 and type-2 UL CoMP conditions. UE 2 enters 3-cell UL
CoMP as follows:
l When 3-cell UL CoMP is disabled in cell B:

UE 2 can enter only type-1 UL CoMP, where the cooperating cell is cell C.
l When 3-cell UL CoMP is enabled in cell B:
Two cells can be selected as the cooperating cells for UE 2. Type-1 and type-2 UL CoMP
can be performed for the UE at the same time. The cooperating cell for type-1 UL CoMP
is cell C, and the cooperating cell for type-2 UL CoMP is cell A or D.
4.2 Network Analysis
4.2.1 Benefits
Intra-BBP UL CoMP offers benefits when all of the following preconditions are met:
l This function is deployed in an intra-frequency network with continuous coverage.

l The inter-site distance (ISD) does not exceed 1000 m, for example, in densely-populated
urban areas and common urban area. ISD in UL CoMP refers to the distance between the
RF modules of the serving and cooperating cells.
l For TDD, the uplink initial block error rate (IBLER) is greater than 6%.
This function offers the following benefits:
l Allows the use of MCSs indicated by larger indexes for UL CoMP UEs.
l Reduces the number of uplink TBs unsuccessfully transmitted in the initial transmission.

eRAN
l Improves uplink network coverage.

For FDD, enhanced intra-/inter-eNodeB UL CoMP is recommended when uplink load is light
or medium (that is, when the average uplink PRB usage is less than 30%).
For FDD, high-order UL CoMP is recommended when the average MCS index is smaller
than 15 in densely populated and heavily loaded scenarios (for example, in stadiums).
For FDD, intra-BBP UL CoMP offers the benefits listed in Table 4-1 in macro-macro, micro-
micro, or SFN scenarios, and offers the benefits listed in Table 4-2 in macro-micro scenarios.

4.3.4 Networking
This function requires UL CoMP cells be served by the same BBP. It is recommended that
intra-frequency cells served by the RRUs installed on the same pole or tower should be bound
to the same BBP. Check whether such cells are bound to the same BBP by performing the
following steps:
Step 1 Run the LST EUCELLSECTOREQM command (for a macro eNodeB) or the LST
EUSECTOREQMGROUP command (for a LampSite eNodeB) to check the cell binding
status.

eRAN
l If the baseband equipment IDs of the cells have the same value in the range of 0 to 23,
these cells have been bound to the same baseband equipment. No further operations are
required.
l If the baseband equipment IDs of the cells have different values in the range of 0 to 23,
bind these cells to the same baseband equipment and go to Step 3.
l If the baseband equipment IDs of the cells are all 255, these cells have not been bound to
any baseband equipment. Go to Step 2.
Step 2 Run the ADD BASEBANDEQM command to add baseband equipment. The baseband
equipment ID must be different from any other assigned IDs.
Step 3 Run the MOD EUCELLSECTOREQM command (for a macro eNodeB) or the MOD
EUSECTOREQMGROUP command (for a LampSite eNodeB) to bind the cells to the same
baseband equipment. Then, the cells are reestablished for the binding to take effect.
You can run the DSP CELL command for confirmation. If Primary BBP information is
consistent with Served BBP Information, different cells on the same site are configured on
the same BBP.
----End
In addition, this function has the following requirements:
l To ensure UL CoMP performance, it is recommended that the ISD do not exceed 1000
m. ISD in UL CoMP refers to the distance between the RF modules of the serving and
cooperating cells.
l There are no PCI conflicts. If there are, solve the problem first. To enable the reporting

l There are no exceptions such as board restart or reset. If there are, the cells are
reestablished and the binding relationships between cells and BBPs may change. As a
result, the performance of UL CoMP may be affected.

4.4.3 Activation Verification

Using MML Commands
Run the DSP CELLULCOMPCLUSTER command to query the cooperating cell list of a
cell. If the Number of results is not 0, UL CoMP has taken effect.
Using Signaling
You can use signaling to determine whether this function has taken effect for type-1 UEs
when all A3-based functions except UL CoMP are disabled.
Step 1 Enable a UE to access a cell. Check the RRC_CONN_RECFG message (as shown in Figure
4-3) for the UL CoMP A3 measurement configuration. If the A3 offset in the message is
consistent with the CellUlCompAlgo.UlCompA3Offset parameter value, this function has
been enabled.

eRAN
Figure 4-3 UL CoMP A3 offset
Step 2 Move the UE to the overlapping area between two cells, causing the UE to report event A3.
This UE is identified as a type-1 UE. Among the reported cells in the UL CoMP application
scope, a neighboring cell with the strongest signal strength is selected as a cooperating cell, as
shown in Figure 4-4.
Figure 4-4 UL CoMP A3 report
Step 3 Use the UE to perform uplink FTP services, and check the uplink throughput. If the uplink
throughput is higher than that before function activation, the function has taken effect.
----End
Using the U2000 to Query the Number of UL CoMP UEs in a Cell

If the monitoring result on the U2000 shows that the number of UL CoMP UEs in the cell is
not 0, this function has taken effect.

eRAN
Using the U2000 to Query the UL CoMP Status of UEs

If the query result shows that a UE is a UL CoMP UE, this function has taken effect.
Using Counters
If any of the counters listed in Table 4-9 has a non-zero value, this function has taken effect.

6.3.4 Networking
This function has the following networking requirements:
l Multi-BBU interconnection is used. For details, see USU3900-based Multi-BBU

Interconnection and USU3910-based Multi-BBU Interconnection.
l For multi-BBU interconnection:
– If the USU3900 is used for inter-BBU interconnection, the BBPs must have the
same slot number. For example, one BBP is in slot 0 of BBU 0 and the other is in
slot 0 of BBU 1.
– If the USU3910 is used for inter-BBU interconnection, there are no requirements
for BBP slot numbers.
cooperating cells.
l Time synchronization with a deviation less than 1.5 μs is achieved between BBUs. When
the time synchronization precision does not meet the requirement, the eNodeB
automatically disables this function.
l For details about inter-BBU networking for SFN CoMP, see SFN.
l For FDD, it is recommended that high-order UL CoMP be enabled if the BBU3910 is
used.

UL CoMP Feature Parameter Description (FDD)
7 Inter-eNodeB UL CoMP Based on Relaxed

Backhaul (FDD)
7.1 Principles
This section describes the principles of inter-eNodeB UL CoMP based on relaxed backhaul.
This function is controlled by the UlNonVoiceJROverRelaxedBHSw option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.OverBBUsSwitch parameter.
This function can be performed in macro-macro, macro-micro, and micro-micro scenarios

with BBUs connected through an IP RAN. The principles of this function are similar to those
of intra-BBP UL CoMP, involving measurement, entry, and exit. For details, see 4.1
Principles.
The following describes the differences:
l This function selects only UEs using QPSK or 16QAM in the uplink for UL CoMP.
l This function selects UEs with data services for type-1 rather than type-2 UL CoMP.
l This function takes the CellUlCompAlgo.UlCompA3OffsetForRelaxedBH parameter
value as the A3 offset in the measurement phase.
l This function can select a maximum of one IP-RAN-based inter-BBU neighboring cell
for 3-cell inter-eNodeB UL CoMP based on relaxed backhaul.
l This function does not support high-order UL CoMP.
l This function does not support enhanced intra-/inter-eNodeB UL CoMP.
l The eNodeB checks transmission load when selecting a cooperating cell:
– When the eNodeB detects that the eX2 link is congested, it performs back-pressure
on joint reception of data services over this link and removes the corresponding
cooperating cell.
– When the eNodeB detects that the eX2 link is no longer congested, it cancels the
back-pressure and restores the cooperating cell.
– When the eNodeB detects that the eX2 link is overloaded, it removes this link and
the cooperating cell.
For details about transmission load control and transmission congestion control, see
Transport Resource Management.

7.2.1 Benefits
Inter-eNodeB UL CoMP based on relaxed backhaul offers benefits when all of the following
conditions are met:
l This function is deployed in an intra-frequency network with continuous coverage.

l The ISD does not exceed 1000 m, for example, in densely-populated urban areas and
common urban area. ISD in UL CoMP refers to the distance between the RF modules of
the serving and cooperating cells.
l The PUSCH PRB usage is greater than 10%.
l The average uplink MCS index is less than 15.
l The uplink IBLER is greater than 6%.
The uplink CEU throughput increases by up to 20% after this function is enabled.
7.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
The uplink IBLER increases slightly after this function is enabled.
In relaxed backhaul scenarios, when inter-eNodeB UL CoMP and other inter-eNodeB features
(such as CA) are enabled together, these features share transmission bandwidths. When the
transmission bandwidths are insufficient, the delays increase and the gains of these features
are affected.

l The UBBPd and UBBPe are recommended while the LBBPd is not recommended due to
insufficient processing capability.

7.3.4 Networking
The requirements for network planning are as follows:
l Inter-BBU cells need to be planned to ensure inter-BBU route connectivity. eX2 links
between BBUs are required. For details, see eX2 Self-Management.
cooperating cells.
The requirements for delay are as follows:

l This function is based on an IP RAN. If the transmission delay is too long, cooperating
cell data will arrive at the RLC layer too late and data acknowledgment may be affected.
Therefore, it is recommended that the RlcPdcpParaGroup.UlRlcSnSize parameter be
set to RlcSnSize_size10.
l The inter-BBU one-way transmission delay does not exceed 4 ms.
l Time synchronization with a deviation less than 3 μs must be achieved between BBUs.
When the time synchronization precision does not meet the requirement, the eNodeB
automatically disables this function.
Time synchronization can be implemented by using a GPS or IEEE1588 V2 clock. For
details, see Synchronization.
The requirements for check before function activation are as follows:
l Check whether there is intermodulation interference. If so, solve the problem. For details
about intermodulation interference, contact Huawei engineers.
l Check whether there are PCI conflicts between intra-frequency neighboring cells. If so,
the performance of UL CoMP will be affected. You are advised to turn on the PCI
conflict alarm switch so that PCI collision or confusion can be reported.
This function shares system resources with SFN, CA, and CSPC.
When a BBP is restarted or reset, the cells are reestablished. In this case, the binding
relationships between cells and BBPs may change and the performance of UL CoMP may be
affected.

CA report the CA license alarm. If this option is selected,
Based the eNodeB reports the insufficient CA license alarm
on in frequency-based CA. If this option is deselected,

eRAN

nd
Relaxed the eNodeB does not proactively report the

Backhau insufficient CA license alarm in frequency-based CA.
l This option applies only to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
FreqBaseIntereNBSccSwitch: Indicates whether cells
configured on the local eNodeB can be configured as
the SCells of cells configured on another eNodeB in
frequency-based CA. If this option is selected, cells
configured on the local eNodeB can be configured as
the SCells of the cells configured on another eNodeB.
If this option is deselected, cells configured on the
local eNodeB cannot be configured as the SCells of
the cells configured on another eNodeB. This option
SccDeactByUlDtxSwitch: Indicates whether to
deactivate SCells based on the uplink DTX. If this
option is selected, the eNodeB deactivates SCells if it
detects that the CA status of the UE is inconsistent
with that on the eNodeB side based on the DTX. The
PCell and SCell statuses are analyzed based on the
setting of this option for the corresponding eNodeB.
The eNodeB deactivates the SCell based on the uplink
DTX only when this option is selected for both
eNodeBs serving the PCell and SCell. Selecting this
option also improves performance of demodulating
ACKs transmitted on the PUSCH in downlink 2CC
CA scenarios. If this option is deselected, the eNodeB
deactivates SCells if it detects that the CA status of
the UE is inconsistent with that on the eNodeB side
based on the uplink RBLER. This option applies only
to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
CaAnrGapOptSwitch: If this option is selected, the
eNodeB requires a UE to start inter-frequency
measurement if no neighboring cells are configured on
an SCC. If this option is deselected, the eNodeB does
not require a UE to start inter-frequency measurement
when selecting an SCell if no neighboring cells are
configured on an SCC. This option applies only to
SmartCaFastSccCfgSwitch: Indicates whether to
preferentially configure SCCs that can be blindly
configured before smart carrier grouping when smart
carrier selection is enabled.
CaEnhancedPreAllocSwitch: Indicates whether to
enable enhanced inter-carrier traffic distribution for
CA. If this option is selected, the eNodeB adopts the
enhanced inter-carrier traffic distribution policy for

eRAN

nd
CA UEs. In this case, the eNodeB dynamically

distributes traffic to CCs based on real-time traffic
volume of CA UEs and scheduling capabilities of
CCs. If this option is deselected, the eNodeB does not
adopt this policy.
RelaxedBHCaEnh2Switch: Indicates whether to
enable relaxed backhaul-based CA enhancement in
phase 2. If this option is selected, relaxed-backhaul-
based CA works when the inter-eNodeB one-way
delay ranges from 4 ms to 16 ms. If this option is
deselected, the eNodeB disables relaxed backhaul-
based CA enhancement in phase 2.
SmartCaPccSelSwitch: Indicates whether to enable
preferential PCell selection during intelligent selection
of serving cell combinations. If this option is selected,
PCells are selected based on radio-interface
capabilities. If this option is deselected, this selection
does not take effect. This option applies only to LTE
FDD and LTE TDD.
HoWithSccCfgBlindFirstSw: Indicates whether to
preferentially select a blindly configured cell as the
SCell when adaptive CA is enabled and the
HoWithSccCfgSwitch option of the CaAlgoSwitch
parameter is selected. If this option is selected, a
blindly configured cell is preferentially selected as the
SCell. If this option is deselected, a blindly configured
cell is not preferentially selected as the SCell. This
UeBandCombReducedR13Sw: Indicates whether to
compress the information elements defined in 3GPP
Release 13 (36.306 and 36.331) for UEs to report CA
bands. These fields will be compressed only if this
option is selected. This option applies only to LTE
FDD and LTE TDD.
