Data Service Heartbeat Data Service

LOFD-001105 N
eRAN6.0 Dynamic DRX – How to detect Heartbeat

 APAI Description:
 Algorithm looking at historical UL and DL Average Packet
Arrival Interval (APAI):
5min Historical data
 Look at PDF for packet interval by slotting them into one of 7 time
bins (0-4, 4-16, 16-32, 32-64, 64-128, 128-256, 256-INF) during a APAI:
period of time as defined by operator (e.g. 10 minutes)
 Depending on the bin distribution change Tsyn2unsyn timer to >90% 32s+
cut out the heartbeats
HeartBeat?
 Example: If >90% of packet arrival interval is larger than e.g. 32s,
then consider this as Heartbeat UE. If packet arrival intervals
characterized as 1001100 (where the three “1” represent TSYN2UNSYN:
exceeding some probability for 3 of the seven bins), then we set

Tsyn2unsyn to 4s(add 2 second fixed value for uncertain case)
 This means that UE with predominantly infrequent traffic Unsync DRX
(=Heartbeat) will get heavily reduced Tsyn2unsyn timer and
other traffic will use normal Tsyn2unsyn value (value range 4-
256s, default = 32s)
 DRX cycle for unsync set to longer value than normal DRX
(up to 2.56s)

LOFD-001106 N

 Dynamic DRX needs to be activated

Traffic Load Threshold
GSM
Low Traffic
UMTS
Example: UMTS cells are switched on/off

automatically based on traffic requirements.
Description:
• In GU co-coverage sites, when traffic is low enough, UMTS cells can be shutdown to save
energy. And when the traffic goes higher, UMTS cells can be turned on again to fulfill the
traffic requirements.
• The procedure is controlled by switching time and traffic threshold of operator‟s strategy
Benefits:
• As estimation, 5% energy saved for a typical GU co-coverage network

GU Inter-RAT Shutdown Discussion
 GUL case removed due to work overload in SRAN8.0 eCoordinator

 Shutdown: Allow Shutdown LTE if load is non-ZERO (but very low). The load
threshold is an operator configured parameter (RB load % or kbps?)
 Light-up: Light-up LTE after a time period of continuous DL data sent to any
LTE capable UE. The time period is an operator configured parameter
(seconds). This is to keep „small-packet‟ traffic in GU. After light-up there will
be a timer (e.g. 30 min) to avoid immediate shutdown (ping-pong)
 GUL case Considered for SRAN9.0

 Static Range Expansion to increase micro traffic Macro
 Benefit: Micro
 Increase Capacity with small cell layer when Protected Subframe
not possible to expand Macro layer
 Impact:
 Need some penetration (~5%) of UE supporting
R10 eICIC in Small Cells
 Time Sync between Macro and Micro Cell
 Only supported by Micro Equal Power
 Right Hotspot location not to close to Macro Range Expansion

Static TDM eICIC simulations
 Simulation assumptions:
 System simulation ISD500m
 Random micro deployment (4 small cells per
macro)
 25 uniformly distributed UEs per macro
 Full buffer
 Simulation results:
For (RE9dB + 1/5ABS) vs (RE0dB + no ABS)
 +2% Capacity (103 vs 101 Mbps)
 +32% Median throughput (2.4 vs 1.6 Mbps)
 +46% CEU throughput (0.57 vs 0.32 Mbps)

LTE-A Carrier Aggregation Live Demo May 2012
 Setup
 2600 + 2600 Non-contigous (40MHz) over the Air
 2x RRU3201
 1x LBBPd1 (1 sector) 20M 20M
 Huawei Test UE L2600 L2600
 Result
 Close to 300Mbps over the air with
commercial eNB HW in commercial NW

 Benefits:
Inter-site
 Interference from other transmission CoMP bases
points is utilized to improve on Cloud BB
transmission Architecture
 Improve Cell Edge User SNR defined in
R11
 Reduce inter-cell-interference
