Introduction
In the baseline strategy :
 The aperiodic CQI report mode is configured after handover complete.
 When UE has been handed over to the target cell, the eNodeB performs downlink scheduling base
d on a low MCS(QPSK) order within some time and then the eNodeB performs downlink scheduling b
ased on a new MCS order after CQI adjustment.

In the enhanced strategy:

 The aperiodic CQI report mode is configured in the handover command, and aperiodic CQI report i
s triggered after handover complete.
 With the optimization, aperiodic CQI can be instantly reported and the CQI used for CQI adjust
ment is more accurate than initial CQI , then the downlink data scheduling MCS is more accurate,
and the throughput of handover user is improved
 The time of low mcs order after handing over can be configuration, default value is 60ms.

Impact

Performance
CQI Optimization for handover user can improve DL performance of the handover users.

Scenario
In the scenario within handover users.

KPI Impact
Improve the downlink user throughput. The BLER will increase.
If Handover UE Static MCS Scheduling Timer sets too small, the service interruption duration during
handovers is prolonged.

DT Result Summary
 When the CQI optimization switch is open, MCS increases about 0.42 and the DL throughput gain is
approximately 8.6%(Handover between 1 sec). And DL IBLER increase a little.

Summary

• From DT result
› Under the same SINR, MCS increases slightly.
› The DL IBLER increases slightly.

› Under the same SINR, DL RLC Throughput increases Obvious.

• From OSS KPI

› The RRC Setup Success Rate (%), the Call Drop Rate (%) and the Handover Success Rate(%)
is stable when the CQI optimization switch is on.
