SRLTE Optimization Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview

2 Overview

2.1 Background
SRLTE is a single radio voice solution. When an SRLTE-capable UE is located in an LTE
cell, the UE periodically leaves the RRC_CONNECTED state to monitor a paging channel on
a network of another RAT. The UE then returns to the RRC_CONNECTED state once the
paging monitoring is complete. The SRLTE-capable UE does not notify the eNodeB when
leaving or returning to the RRC_CONNECTED state. This operation may have the following
impacts:
l The number of the times of out-of-synchronization can increase because SRLTE-capable
UEs fail to receive the timing advance (TA) signal.
l The probability of false alarm reports increasing is because SRLTE-capable UEs fail to
receive the Msg2 or Msg4 delivered by the eNodeB.
l A deteriorate is experienced by the majority of LTE KPIs, such as the uplink (UL) and
downlink (DL) throughput, and automatic repeat request (ARQ) retransmission rate.
l GAP measurement is delayed or interrupted because SRLTE-capable UEs fail to receive
the GAP measurement command delivered by the eNodeB, which prolongs the
measurement period. If the measurement is delayed, the LTE network can fail to trigger
handovers in a timely manner. In coverage-based measurement scenarios, the emergent
blind handover event A2 is triggered on the LTE network to circumvent service drops.
The SRLTE Optimization feature is introduced to eliminate these impacts and improve the
perceived rates of SRLTE-capable UEs.

2.2 Introduction
The SRLTE Optimization feature enables the eNodeB to check whether an SRLTE-capable
UE is monitoring a paging channel on the CDMA2000 1X network. Upon detecting that an
SRLTE-capable UE is monitoring a paging channel on the CDMA2000 1X network, the
eNodeB discards measured values, which eliminates time-frequency resource waste, improves
LTE network performance, and enhances the experience of users using SRLTE-capable UEs.

SRLTE Optimization Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview

2.3 Benefits
The SRLTE Optimization feature improves the KPIs, including the service drop rate,
reestablishment success rate, ARQ retransmission rate, and UL/DL perceived user rates.
The gains provided by the SRLTE Optimization feature are influenced by following factors:
l Paging cycle on the CDMA2000 1X network
l Paging channel monitoring duration on the CDMA2000 1X network
l Proportions of SRLTE-capable UEs and common UEs
l Algorithm parameter settings
l UE capabilities
l Radio channel environment
l Service model

2.4 Architecture
The SRLTE Optimization feature includes the following functions:
l SRLTE optimization algorithm
The eNodeB terminates UL/DL scheduling of SRLTE-capable UEs and discards RSRP
and SINR values once it detects consecutive occurrences of the SRLTE-capable UE
experiencing PUSCH and PDSCH discontinuous transmission (DTX) in a cell.
l SRLTE discard algorithm
The eNodeB discards RSRP and SINR values once it detects consecutive occurrences of
the SRLTE-capable UE experiencing PUSCH DTX in a cell.

3 Technical Description

3.1 SRLTE optimization algorithm


Overview
The eNodeB checks the number of consecutive occurrences of an SRLTE-capable UE
experiencing DTX in a cell. This allows the eNodeB to determine whether the SRLTE-
capable UE has left the RRC_CONNECTED state to monitor a paging channel on the
CDMA2000 1X network.
l Upon detecting that an SRLTE-capable UE initiates a paging channel monitoring on the
CDMA2000 1X network, the eNodeB terminates scheduling of the UE.
l Upon detecting that an SRLTE-capable UE has returned to the RRC_CONNECTED
state after the paging monitoring is complete, the eNodeB resumes scheduling of the UE.

SRLTE Optimization
The procedure describes an SRLTE-capable UE on the LTE network periodically leaves the
RRC_CONNECTED state to monitor the paging channel on the CDMA2000 1X network
(Figure 3-1). The paging cycle on the CDMA2000 1X network is specified by a parameter on
the CDMA side. An SRLTE-capable UE periodically leaves the RRC_CONNECTED state to
monitor a paging channel on the CDMA2000 1X network. When the paging monitoring is
complete, the UE returns to the RRC_CONNECTED state. The minimum duration is 80 ms,
and when additional mechanisms are deployed, such as TCP penalty, the duration can reach a
maximum length of 120 ms.

eRAN
SRLTE Optimization Feature Parameter Description 3 Technical Description

Without this algorithm, the eNodeB cannot determine whether an SRLTE-capable UE has left
the RRC_CONNECTED state to monitor a paging channel on the CDMA2000 1X network.
Instead, the eNodeB schedules the UE when the UE is monitoring the paging channel on the
CDMA2000 1X network, which wastes PRB (PRB is short for physical resource block)
resources.
Once an SRLTE-capable UE initiates a paging channel monitoring on the CDMA2000 1X
network, the UE experiences DTX. Based on this principle, the SRLTE Optimization feature
enables the eNodeB to determine whether an SRLTE-capable UE has left the
RRC_CONNECTED state. This alteration in state is to monitor a paging channel on the
CDMA2000 1X network based on the number of consecutive occurrences when the UE
experiences DTX.
The SRLTE optimization algorithm is controlled by the CellSrlte.SrlteSwitch parameter, is
disabled by default. When this parameter is set to ON(On), this feature is enabled and the
eNodeB determines whether an SRLTE-capable UE has left the RRC_CONNECTED state.
This is to ensure paging channel monitoring on the CDMA2000 1X network based on the
following information:
l Number of consecutive occurrences of the UE experiencing PUSCH DTX during UL
scheduling
l Number of consecutive occurrences of the UE experiencing PDSCH DTX during DL
scheduling
The eNodeB determines that an SRLTE-capable UE initiates paging channel monitoring on
the CDMA2000 1X network upon detecting that the UE has experienced DTX (including
PUSCH DTX and PDSCH DTX) for n consecutive times or CQI DTX for n/2 consecutive
instances. The CellSrlte.SrlteDtxThrd parameter specifies the value of n, with its default
value being 6. If UL and DL scheduling are simultaneously performed within a transmission
time interval (TTI):
l If the UE experiences both PUSCH DTX and PDSCH DTX, the eNodeB counts this as a
single DTX event.
l If the UE does not experience PUSCH DTX or PDSCH DTX, the eNodeB assumes that
the UE has returned to the RRC_CONNECTED state and restores normal scheduling.

Figure 3-2 Principles of SRLTE optimization algorithm

Upon detecting that an SRLTE-capable UE has left RRC_CONNECTED state to monitor a


paging channel on the CDMA2000 1X network, the eNodeB provides a series of varied
responses based on scenarios:

Issue 01 (2016-03-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 7


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
SRLTE Optimization Feature Parameter Description 3 Technical Description

l Terminates all DL scheduling (including initial transmission and retransmission)


l Terminates all scheduling invitation (including pre-allocation and semi-consistent
scheduling)
l Discards measured values of the channel quality indicator (CQI) and rank indication (RI)
at layer 2.
l Allows UL scheduling upon receipt of two consecutive scheduling request indicators
(SRIs) which are not false alarms.
l Terminates the timer specified by the UeInactiveTimer parameter.
l Checks whether the UE returns to RRC_CONNECTED state at the interval specified by
the CellSrlte.SrlteSuspendTime parameter.
Upon receiving HARQ feedback (the DL scheduling state is not DTX) or obtaining an ACK
result of PUSCH cyclic redundancy check (CRC), the eNodeB determines that the UE has
returned to the RRC_CONNECTED state. In this situation, the eNodeB resumes normal
scheduling. Otherwise, the eNodeB determines that the UE still monitors a paging channel on
the CDMA2000 1X network and performs repeated terminates of scheduling and persistently
performs rechecks until the UE returns to the RRC_CONNECTED state.

NOTE

This function is implemented only for the UE which sends a supportedBandList1xRTT information
element (IE) with the "tx-Config1XRTT" and "rx-Config1XRTT" fields set to "single" and "dual",
respectively. Currently, a number of dual-card dual-standby UEs do not support the transmission of such
messages.

CellSrlte.SrlteDtxThrd and CellSrlte.SrlteSuspendTime take effect only when


CellSrlte.SrlteSwitch is set to ON(On). Modifying CellSrlte.SrlteDtxThrd and
CellSrlte.SrlteSuspendTime has impacts on cell throughput.
CellSrlte.SrlteDtxThrd indicates the threshold for the number of consecutive times that an
SRLTE-capable UE experiences DTX. A smaller value of the SrlteDtxThrd parameter results
in a reduced detection period for consecutive DTX times exceeding this threshold and a
higher positive gain in cell throughput. However, an insufficiently small value of this
parameter can generate negative gains in cell throughput due to incorrect DTX detection. A
larger value of this parameter results in the opposite effects.
CellSrlte.SrlteSuspendTime specifies the duration in which the eNodeB does not schedule an
SRLTE-capable UE due to the absence of the UE from the LTE mode. If this parameter is set
to a small value, the eNodeB suspends scheduling of an SRLTE-capable UE for a shorter
time, and the positive gains in the cell throughput are smaller. If this parameter is set to a large
value, the eNodeB suspends scheduling of an SRLTE-capable UE for a longer time, and the
positive gains in the cell throughput are larger. However, an excessively large value of this
parameter causes the throughput of the UE to decrease.

3.2 SRLTE Discard Algorithm


The eNodeB discards PUSCH measured values after an SRLTE-capable UE has left the
RRC_CONNECTED state to monitor a paging channel on the CDMA2000 1X network.
The SRLTE discard algorithm is controlled by the CellSrlte.SrlteDiscardAlgoSwitch
parameter as follows:

l When the parameter is set to ON: Upon detection of the SRLTE-capable UE


experiencing PUSCH DTX at least once, the eNodeB discards incorrect RSRP and SINR

values. Upon detection of the SRLTE-capable UE experiencing PUSCH DTX for n


times, the eNodeB discards RSRP, SINR, Doppler, and TA values. (n is specified by the
CellSrlte.SrlteDtxThrd parameter.)
l When this parameter is set to OFF, RSRP/SINR values are not discarded.

6.5 Performance Monitoring


SRLTE Optimization Algorithm
The SRLTE optimization algorithm is typically used to increase the PRB resource usage and
cell throughput. Therefore, the gain of this feature can be monitored and evaluated based on
the cell throughput.
After the SRLTE optimization alarm has been activated, choose Monitoring > Signaling
Trace > Signaling Trace Management > Cell Performance Monitoring > General
Throughput Monitoring on the U2000 to monitor the cell throughput. If the total cell
throughput increases after this algorithm is enabled, the performance of this algorithm is
good.

SRLTE Discard Algorithm


The gains provided by this algorithm can be evaluated by observing the weighted average
value of counters from L.ChMeas.PUSCH.MCS.0 to L.ChMeas.PUSCH.MCS.28. If the
value increases after this algorithm is enabled, the performance of this algorithm is good.

Counter ID Counter Name Description

1526727412~15267 L.ChMeas.PUSCH.MCS. The counters measure the


27428 0~L.ChMeas.PUSCH.MCS.28 number of times a MCS index
is used for PUSCH scheduling.

6.6 Parameter Optimization


CellSrlte.SrlteDtxThrd indicates the threshold for the number of consecutive times that an
SRLTE-capable UE experiences DTX. A smaller value of the SrlteDtxThrd parameter results
in a reduced detection period for consecutive DTX times exceeding this threshold and a
higher positive gain in cell throughput. However, an insufficiently small value of this
parameter can generate negative gains in cell throughput due to incorrect DTX detection. A
larger value of this parameter results in the opposite effects.
CellSrlte.SrlteSuspendTime indicates the period of time during which the eNodeB does not
schedule an SRLTE-capable UE. A smaller value of the SrlteSuspendTime parameter results
in a short time that the eNodeB stops scheduling an SRLTE-capable UE and a lower gain of
cell throughput. A larger value of this parameter results in the opposite effects.
For detailed operations, see 6.4.3.2 Activation.

6.7 Troubleshooting
If the cell or user throughput does not significantly increase, this feature may not have been
configured according to the procedures provided in 6 Engineering Guidelines. In this
situation, perform the following steps to troubleshoot the problem:

CellSrlte SrlteSwi MOD LOFD-0 SRLTE Meaning:


tch CELLS 80212 Optimiz Indicates whether to enable scheduling optimization
RLTE ation on single radio LTE-capable UEs. A single radio LTE-
LST capable UE periodically leaves the LTE system and
CELLS listens to the paging channel of another RAT during
RLTE camping or activation, and then returned to the LTE
system after listening. If the eNodeB schedules the
single radio LTE-capable UE when the UE is absent
from the LTE system and listens to the paging channel
of another RAT, RB resources are wasted. Based on
scheduling optimization on single radio LTE-capable
UEs, the eNodeB uses DTX detection to distinguish
single radio LTE-capable UEs that leaves the LTE

RAT, and then stops scheduling these UEs.
If this parameter is set to ON, scheduling optimization
on single radio LTE-capable UEs is enabled.
If this parameter is set to OFF, scheduling
optimization on single radio LTE-capable UEs is
disabled.
This parameter applies only to LTE FDD cells.

CellSrlte SrlteDtx MOD LOFD-0 SRLTE Meaning:


Thrd CELLS 80212 Optimiz Indicates the threshold for the number of consecutive
RLTE ation times that a single radio LTE-capable UE experiences
LST discontinuous transmission (DTX), including DTX
CELLS times on the PUSCH and PDSCH.
RLTE
If the number of consecutive times that a single radio
LTE-capable UE experiences DTX reaches this
threshold, the eNodeB determines that the UE is
absent from the LTE mode and listens to the paging
channel of another RAT, and therefore the eNodeB
stops scheduling the UE for a period of time specified
by the SrlteSuspendTime parameter. This parameter
takes effect only when the SrlteSwitch parameter is set
to ON.
GUI Value Range: 1~15

CellSrlte SrlteSus MOD LOFD-0 SRLTE Meaning: Indicates the period of time during which
pendTi CELLS 80212 Optimiz the eNodeB does not schedule a single radio LTE-
me RLTE ation capable UE because the UE is absent from the LTE
LST mode. This parameter takes effect only when the
CELLS SrlteSwitch parameter is set to ON.
