1) The basic PDCCH Link Adaptation uses the Physical Downlink Shared
Channel (PDSCH) transmission success and a configurable offset to achieve
the target Block Error rate (BLER) for PDCCH transmissions.
2) If the feature is activated to increase the PDCCH PSD level for CCE
aggregation level 8, the PDCCH cell coverage will be increased compared to
not using PDCCH Power Boost, the feature is especially suitable for TM7/TM8
scenario that PDSCH does not limit cell coverage, but not confined to these
two Transmission mode. The feature can be applied to all other transmission
modes.
The Maximum Cell Range feature provides support for a maximum cell
range of 100 km. Without this feature the maximum cell range is 15 km.
Large cells are suitable to obtain coverage in sparsely populated areas
where the need for capacity is low. Examples of such areas are deserts,
coastal areas, or sea environments. The feature makes it possible to set the
cell range between 1 and 100 km. The feature includes use of the random
access preamble format 1 that is appropriate for the large round trip times
in cells with cell range larger than 15 km.
Intra-LTE handover can be set to trigger on the RSRP value or the RSRQ
value. The measurement reports sent by the UE contains either or both of
these values.
There are three types of mobility procedures for Intra-LTE handover; intra-
RBS handover, X2-based inter RBS handover, and S1-based inter-RBS
handover.
1.The intra-RBS handover procedure is used when both the source and
target cells reside in the same RBS.
2.X2 inter-RBS handover is primarily used when an X2 relation exists
between source and target RBSs. Both source and target RBS must be
connected to the same MME.
3.S1 inter-RBS handover is primarily used when no X2 relation exists
between source and target. Source and target RBS can be connected to the
same or different MME. Packet forwarding at S1 Handover is also an optional
licensed feature that is used to reduce packet loss.
The objective of data forwarding is to guarantee that packet loss is reduced
during an X2 handover and intra-RBS handover, except in the transport
network, as well as reducing handover interruption time. The packets
forwarded are those stored in the source RBS buffer prior to the handover
execution, ,i.e. packets that have not been acknowledged by the UE (only in
case of RLC AM DRBs) and packets that have not been transmitted. Source
RBS also forwards new incoming packets from the SGW prior to the
handover completion. Forwarding occurs only with Packet Data Convergence
Protocol (PDCP) Service Data Units (SDUs) in the downlink.
In case the feature is active the target RBS prioritizes all downlink PDCP
Packet Data Units (PDUs) forwarded by the source RBS, before sending new
data received from the S1 link.
The measurement process used by the UE to evaluate the serving cell uses
parameters sent by the serving eNodeB to the UE. These parameters, sent
to the UE in the RRCConnectionReconfiguration messages, include threshold
values, hysteresis values, measurement filtering, and time-to-trigger
parameters.
The UE measurements are reported to the serving eNodeB to make the final
decision on redirection to a GERAN / UTRAN /IF / CDMA Target.
The Event A2 can base its triggering criterion on either of the following:
Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), representing the mean measured
power per reference signal
Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), providing an indication of the
reference signal quality, especially high inter cell interference
The eNodeB will configure two Event A2 measurements in the UE to detect
poor coverage, and using the default settings, one of them will be based on
RSRP and one on RSRQ. The eNodeB will consider the UE in poor coverage
when at least one of the measurements have reported poor coverage.
The eNodeB determines whether to release the UE with a redirection to a
GERAN / UTRAN /IF / CDMA Target., depending on the UE capabilities,
eNodeB licenses, and redirection priority. If the UE is released with a
redirection to a GERAN / UTRAN /IF / CDMA Target., the release message
contains information about one or several GERAN / UTRAN /IF / CDMA
frequencies, to help the UE find a suitable GERAN / UTRAN /IF / CDMA Target
cell.
This feature extends the session continuity / CSFB features by including
system information for cells belonging to target Radio Access Technology
(RAT) when performing Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection release
with redirect to GSM or WCDMA . The system information enables the UE to
connected to target GSM or WCDMA cell faster.
The Emergency Call Handling for CS Fallback feature offers the operator the
possibility to apply separate priorities for CS fallback for emergency calls as
compared to CS fallback for ordinary voice calls. This allows the operator to
direct emergency calls to the network that has the best positioning
performance and thus comply to the FCC phase 2 requirements on
positioning accuracy for such calls
1.That the UE will be transferred to a cell on a different frequency for which
the UE has coverage.
2.That an Event A5 (serving becomes worse than threshold1 and neighbor
becomes better than threshold2) measurement is configured in the UE
whenever there are several candidate target cells, none of which covers the
source cell completely.
3.That the UE hands over directly, without an Event A5 measurement,
whenever there is (at least) one target cell which is known to cover the
source cell completely.
The capacity of the DU can be fully used with six-sector single carrier
configurations. One DU can carry the traffic of up to six cells.
The Quad Antenna Uplink Performance Package feature provides support for
four receive antennas used for 4-way receive diversity, to improve uplink
coverage, capacity (bit rate) and throughput. Quad Antenna Uplink
Performance is possible for all antenna configurations with four antennas
and for any number of radio units.
The Enhanced Cell ID User Plane Location Support feature in the RBS
enables the operator to keep the location node updated, through OSS-RC,
about the geographic data of the cells served by the RBS
The Multiple Radio Bearers per User feature permits User Equipment (UE) to
establish as many as eight simultaneous data radio beare
Delta Point
E/// - Provision for Sleeping Cells Detection and fault recovery action .Alarm will be
reported to OSS-RC if recovery action is not successful
NSN - Combined function of LTE432 & LTE502 features are fulfilling " ACS " function

operator must still check the situation in the cell and decide, which actions are to
trigger.
E/// - Combined function of below 2 features can be mapped with NSN feature
LTE1035 .
Enhanced PDCCH Link Adaption - In order to satisfy the required BLER for PDCCH,
the estimated SINR must be adjusted to compensate for the CQI estimation errors on
the PDCCH. It uses the PDSCH Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback and the
PUSCH detection results to determine whether or not a PDCCH transmission was
successful.Based on the estimated SINR plus the calculated outer loop adjustment
and the transport block size, the link adaptation determines the number of CCEs
required for the coming PDCCH transmission
PDCCH Power Boost - CCE aggregation level and boost value based on CCE cost
and PDCCH SINR from PDCCH link Adaptation feature. UE at any cell position is
supported to calculate corresponding CCE Aggregation level and boost power.PDCCH
power per OFDM symbol is another limitation, if the total power including boost
power exceeds the limitation, it is forbidden to use the boosted power.
NSN - Feature LTE1035 decides #CCE's and Transmission power per UE (More
CCE's / Power to low SINR UE's ) through PDCCH outer loop Link adaption.
1. Iputs to PDCCH inner loop link adaption are UE reported Wideband CQI , deltaCQI
from PDSCH outer link Quality Control and deltaCQIshift from PDCCH outer loop link
adaption which decides PDCCH power and CCE aggregation level.
2.Internal functions PDCCH outer loop link adaption ( Adjusts the dynamic correction
of UE SINR estimate per User ) and PDSCH outer link Quality Control are working
based on HARQ Feedbacks from initial DL transmission.

E/// - The Interference Rejection Combining feature improves the Block Error Rate
(BLER) on the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) and Physical Uplink Control
Channel (PUCCH).IRC also improves false detection and missed detection
performance on the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) in an inter-cell
interference scenario. IRC is always available on the PRACH.
NSN - Supporting IRC is mainly a radio layer 1 issue. IRC is only applied to the
physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). All other channels and signals like physical
uplink control channel (PUCCH), sounding reference signal (SRS) and physical
random access channel (PRACH) do not apply IRC.

This feature raises an indication that there may be a problem, so the operator
must still check the situation in the cell and decide, which actions are to

lte1407: RSRQ Based Redirect feature, the eNB configures in the UE additional
to the existing RSRP - based A2 for redirect an RSRQ based A2 event on the
own serving cell. A2 event means: the serving cell becomes worse than an
absolute threshold.
When the UE sends this A2-RSRQ event and when it is received by the eNB, an
RRC Connection Release with Redirect is triggered at the UE by the eNB.
he scope of the feature is to redirect UEs with poor RSRQ, but with a good
RSRP, where neither a handover nor an RSRP-based redirect triggers to another
radio access technology (RAT) layer, which is outside of the strong interference
area .It is strongly recommended that only UEs with a quiet low RSRQ value,
which is almost against the lowest one of -19dB is considered for redirect to
another RAT. This is to avoid ping-long effects back from these RATs into LTE.
The same measurement-object and related Id as for the serving frequency as
for RSRP triggered redirect must be used for RSRQ-based triggered redirect.
This feature introduces additional funcionality for CS Fallback with Redirection
to GERAN (LTE562: CS Fallback with redirection), Emergency calls handling
(LTE22: Emergency Calls handling) and UE Context Release with Redirection
(LTE423: RRC Connection Release with Redirect). With this feature the eNB
provides System Information (SI) for GERAN cells inside redirection message.
This reduces time needed to access target GERAN cell, in which CS service will
be performed, as the UE will not need to read SIBs from air interface to access
target cell. The cell selection algorithm in the UE is not influenced by providing
the GERAN system information, for example the UE does not prefer GERAN
cells for which system information has been provided.
