What is Rank

downlink data

transmission. Even
though the system is

con gured in

transmission mode 3

(or open loop spatial

multiplexing) for a

particular UE and if
the same UE report

the Rank Indication


value 1 to eNB, eNB

will start sending the

data in Tx diversity

mode to UE . If UE

report Rank

Indication 2 , eNB

will start sending the

downlink data in

MIMO mode

(Transmission Mode
3).

Why we need this RI

in LTE concept?

When UE experience

bad SNR and it would

be dif cult (error

prone) to decode

transmitted

downlink data  it

gives early warning

to eNB by stating

Rank Indication value

as 1. When UE

experience good SNR

it pass this

information to eNB

by indicating rank
value as 2.

Because of this

reason, you might

have observed that

some time data

transmitted by eNB

is in Tx diversity

mode, though MIMO

was con gured and

hence you may have

observed less

downlink throughput

than expected one. 

However, it is not

necessary that eNB

will always change

the transmission

mode based on RI

value, it could be

implementation

speci c decision. 

Questions are welcome.

Dear Ahmed,

Good question.
Here is my logic
behind it . As we
know TM does
depend on the
channel
conditions. In
TDD UL and DL
are on same
frequency , hence
channel
characteristics are
same . Because of
that a feedback is
not needed from
the UE when a
suitable Uplink
signal is present
that the base
station can use to
estimate the

I got issue for
throughput. UE
still get RI 1 even

RF conditions are
good (RSRP and
SINR) and the
network MIMO
are con gured.

whether
proper UE
Category
is set on
the
device.
Once I
faced this
issue and
it came
out that
the UE
Category
was
wrongly
set as '1'
on the
device
hence
didn't
report
Rank2.

Transmission

but RI shows RI1
55% and RI2 45%.
so how TM is
