4G Strategy: PUCCH Outer Loop Power Control


Fact Finding:
PUCCH Inner Loop Power Control in eRAN 8.0 is only based on the SINR&RSRP of Format 1a/1b (i.e., ACK channel) but the interference of Format 2/2a/2b (i.e., CQI/PMI/RI channel) is higher than Format 1a/1b


Pro :
It improves the demodulation performance of PUCCH format 2/2a/2b and decreases the false detection rate of PUCCH format 2/2a/2b, thereby increasing downlink throughput.
Cons :
Almost no impact
Execution Selection Criteria :
-This feature must work together with inner-loop PUCCH power control in LBFD-002026 Uplink Power Control
-Site with eRAN v8.1
Background:
The decrease of the SINR of Format 2/2a/2b and impairs the performance of Format 2/2a/2b as result, CQI-feedback performance and downlink throughput may degrades

- If the measured BER is greater than the BERTarget, this feature increases the SINRTarget.
- If the measured BER is equal to the BERTarget, this feature does not change the SINRTarget.
- If the measured BER is less than the BERTarget, this feature decreases the SINRTarget.

4G Strategy: CSFB Access Delay Optimization


Background:
LTE CSFB Access Delay = LTE Call Setup + L2W Transition + WCDMA Call Setup
LTE Call Setup: from L3 Extended Service Request (LTE) to RRCConnectionRelease (LTE)
L2W Transition: from RRCConnectionRelease (LTE) to RRC Connection Request (WCDMA)
WCDMA Call Setup: from RRC Connection Request (WCDMA) to Alerting (WCDMA)

Fact Finding:
LTE CSFB L2W transition duration at call setup is longer due to read too many 3G system information..

 Pro :
CSFB L2W transition duration would be much improved.                            
Cons :
No negative impacts.
Execution Selection Criteria :
UMTS RAN 16.0 version later

Analysis:
SIB3 schedule optimizationreduce SIB3 schedule period to 160ms; Turn on DMCR, postpone read SIB11 and other system information, reduce CSFB delay; Combine SIB7 and MIB, improve schedule efficiency and reduce system information schedule period.
