Drive Test Parameters
Drive Test Parameters
RSRP
• RSRP :- Reference signal receive power.
• Range :- -3 to -19.5 dB
SINR = S / I + N
• RSSI=12*N*RSRP
• RSSI per resource block is measured over 12 resource elements.
• Range :- 1 to 15
• Better the CQI better the throughput will get and vice versa.
CQI Plot & Threshold
PCI
• PCI :- Physical Cell Id
• Range :- 0 to 503
• Significance - PCI used to identify the cell & is used to transmit the data
•Block Error Ratio is defined as the ratio of the number of erroneous blocks
received to the total number of blocks transmitted.
Downlink Throughput
- In E-UTRAN may use a maximum of 2 Tx antennas at the ENodeB and
2 Rx antennas at the UE ( MIMO ).
• Control plane deals with signaling and control functions, while user plane
deals with actual user data transmission
User Plane Latency - U-Plane latency is defined as one-way transmit time
between a packet being available at the IP layer in the UE/E-UTRAN (Evolved UMTS Terrestrial
Radio Access Network) edge node and the availability of this packet at the IP layer in the
EUTRAN/ UE node. U-Plane latency is relevant for the performance of many applications
Control Plane Latency -C-Plane latency is measured as the time required for
the UE (UserEquipment) to transit from idle state to active state. In idle state,
the UE does not have an RRCconnection. Once the RRC is setup, the UE
transitions to connected state and then to the active state when it enters the
dedicated mode
Tracking Area Code
Tracking Area (TA)
It is the successor of location and routing areas from 2G/3G.
When a UE attached is to the network, the MME will know the UE’s
position on tracking area level which is then stored in the HSS
database. In case the UE has to be paged, this will be done in the full
tracking area.
Tracking areas are identified by a Tracking Area Identity (TAI).
TAI is constructed from the MCC, MNC, and TAC (Tracking Area Code)
A Tracking Area (TA) includes one or several E-UTRAN cells
Where
POL is the uplink power, set by open loop power control. The choice of alpha
depends on whether conventional or fractional power control scheme is used.
Using alpha = 1 leads to conventional open loop power control while
0 < alpha < 1 leads to fractional open loop power control
Pmax is the maximum allowed power that depends on the UE power class
M is the number of assigned resource blocks as indicated in the UL scheduling
grant
P0 is a UE specific parameter with 1 dB resolution
PL is the downlink path loss calculated in the UE from a RSRP measurement and
signaled RS transmit power
• Closed Loop power Control –
Closed loop power control is capability of the UE to adjust the uplink
transmit power in accordance with the closed loop correction value also
known as transmit power control (TPC) commands. TPC commands are
transmitted, by the eNB towards the UE, based on the closed loop signal-
to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) target and measured received SINR.
In a closed-loop power control system, the uplink receiver at the eNB
estimates the SINR of the received signal, and compares it with the
desired SINR target value. When the received SINR is below the SINR
target, a TPC command is transmitted to the UE to request for an increase
in the transmitter power. Otherwise, the TPC command will request for a
decrease in transmitter power.
