LTE Strategic/Feature Summary and Plan
PDCCH Utilization Improvement by Active PDCCH Power Enhanced Switch

Parameter Description :
PDCCH Power Enhanced Switch : Indicates whether to enable enhanced PDCCH power control. If this switch is turned on, the eNodeB
selects appropriate PDCCH transmit power based on channel quality to increase PDCCH capacity. This parameter is valid only for
FDD, not for TDD.

Network Impact :
PDCCH Power Enhanced Switch ： If this switch is turned on, the eNodeB selects a lower aggregation level and increases the
transmit power to ensure the PDCCH demodulation performance, allow the PDCCH to support more UEs, and increase the uplink and
downlink throughput. If this switch is turned off, the eNodeB selects a higher aggregation level and the operator needs to configure
the transmit power manually. This results in the opposite effects.

Site Selection:
Greater gains can be obtained when PDCCH CCE usage is 50%–80%. Trial site selection are :

Script:
MOD CELLPDCCHALGO:LOCALCELLID=0,PDCCHCAPACITYIMPROVESWITCH=ON,PDCCHPOWERENHANCEDSWITCH=ON;
PDCCH Utilization Improvement by Active PDCCH Capacity Improve Switch

Parameter Description :
PDCCH Capacity Improve Switch : if this parameter is set to ON(On), the eNodeB reallocates CCEs to a UE, if the UE fails to be
allocated with CCEs, by increasing the PDCCH transmit power and decreasing the PDCCH aggregation level for the UE. If this
parameter is set to OFF(Off), the eNodeB does not reallocate CCEs to a UE, if the UE fails to be allocated with CCEs, by increasing the
PDCCH power and decreasing the PDCCH aggregation level for the UE.

Network Impact :
PDCCH Capacity Improve Switch ： For LTE FDD networks, if this parameter is set to ON(On), (1) the initial value for closed-loop
adjustment on PDCCH aggregation level decreases and PDCCH capacity increases, and therefore cell dl throughput increases; (2)
the CCE allocation success rate increases, and therefore cell throughput increases.

Site Selection:
Greater gains can be obtained when PDCCH CCE usage is 50%–80% , trial site selection are :

Script:

MOD CELLPDCCHALGO:LOCALCELLID=0,PDCCHCAPACITYIMPROVESWITCH=ON,PDCCHPOWERENHANCEDSWITCH=ON;
Optimization of CQI Reporting Triggering to Improve DL Throughput

Parameter Description :
Indicates whether to enable enhanced aperiodic channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting. If this switch is on, the eNodeB triggers
aperiodic CQI reporting for a UE based on downlink services of the UE and the interval at which the UE sends periodic CQI reports. If
this switch is off, UEs under non-frequency selective scheduling do not trigger aperiodic CQI reporting based on downlink services and
triggers an aperiodic CQI reporting if no valid periodic CQI reports are sent in eight consecutive periodic CQI reporting periods.

Network Impact :
Turning on this switch leads to timely report of downlink channel quality and increased downlink data rate. Because more control
channel elements (CCEs) are consumed by aperiodic CQI reporting, it is recommended that the PdcchSymNumSwitch parameter be
set to ECfiAdaptionON to decrease the number of symbols consumed by enhanced aperiodic CQI reporting, thereby further
increasing downlink data rates.

Site Selection:
Cell with low PRB Utilization (<50%), Trial site selection are :

Script:
CELLALGOSWITCH: LocalCellId=0, DlschSwitch=EnAperiodicCqiRptSwitch:ON;
MOD CELLPDCCHALGO: LocalCellId=0, PdcchSymNumSwitch=ECfiAdaptionON
Increase T300 timer (form 1000ms to 2000ms) to improve CSSR

Parameter Description :

Indicates the timer value of Timer 300. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.331.
This timer is started when the UE sends RRCConnectionRequest.
Before the timer expires, it is stopped if the UE receives RRCConnectionSetup or RRCConnectionReject.
After the timer expires, the UE enters the RRC_IDLE state.

Network Impact :
It is will improve CSSR

Site Selection:
Cells with low CSSR, site selection are :

Script:
MOD UETIMERCONST: LocalCellId=0, T300=MS2000_T300;
