MIMO Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is a technology that uses multiple antennas for
transmission and reception in a cell. mxn MIMO indicates that the transmit (TX) side uses m
antennas for transmission and the receive (RX) side uses n antennas for reception.
This document describes multiple-antenna reception and transmission of the eNodeB. Uplink
MIMO is a multiple-antenna reception technology of the eNodeB, and downlink MIMO is a
multiple-antenna transmission technology of the eNodeB.
NOTE
In this document, multiple antennas used in MIMO refer to multiple TX or RX ports, not multiple
physical antennas.
2.2 Benefits
Uplink MIMO
Uplink 2-antenna receive diversity is a basic feature. Its benefits are not detailed here.
Uplink 4-antenna receive diversity offers the benefits listed in Table 2-1.

N/A Improves the uplink cell coverage by 3 None

dB to 5 dB.
Uplink MU-MIMO
Uplink multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) provides a higher average uplink throughput than
uplink receive diversity. Uplink MU-MIMO can offer obvious gains when the following
conditions are met:
l The PUSCH load is high. That is, the uplink physical resource block (PRB) usage
exceeds 90%.
l There are enough PDCCH resources for UE pairing. That is, the control channel element
(CCE) usage is less than 80%.
As more UEs are scheduled in uplink MU-MIMO, uplink coverage may deteriorate and cell
edge user (CEU) throughput may decrease when the network experiences high interference.
Downlink MIMO
Benefits of downlink MIMO:
l For the benefits of downlink 2x2 MIMO, see Table 2-2.
l For the benefits of downlink 4x2 MIMO, see Table 2-3.
l For the benefits of downlink 4x4 MIMO, see Table 2-4. The downlink peak throughput
of downlink 4x4 MIMO is approximately twice that of downlink 2x2 MIMO.

MIMO Feature Parameter Description 3 Uplink MIMO
3 Uplink MIMO
Uplink MIMO is a multiple-antenna reception technology of the eNodeB. It has two

solutions: uplink multiple-antenna receive diversity and uplink MU-MIMO (that is,
multiplexing with multiple antennas). Figure 3-1 uses uplink 2-antenna receive diversity and
uplink 2x2 MU-MIMO as examples for illustration.
Figure 3-1 Uplink 2-antenna receive diversity and uplink 2x2 MU-MIMO
The reception mode of a cell used in multiple-antenna reception is specified by the

Cell.TxRxMode parameter, where Rx denotes reception and Tx denotes transmission.

eRAN
3.1 Multiple-Antenna Receive Diversity

This section describes the principles of multiple-antenna receive diversity. For engineering
guidelines, see 7 Engineering Guidelines.
Multiple-antenna receive diversity requires the support of receivers. Maximum ratio

combining (MRC) receivers are provided by Huawei eNodeBs by default. However,
interference rejection combining (IRC) receivers are recommended. For details, see Receiver
Technologies.
3.1.1 LBFD-00202001 UL 2-Antenna Receive Diversity

Uplink 2-antenna receive diversity requires at least two receive (RX) channels. A cell must
work in at least 2R mode to implement this feature.
This feature uses the two channels to receive the same signals from a single UE to improve
signal reliability.
3.1.2 LOFD-001005 UL 4-Antenna Receive Diversity

Uplink 4-antenna receive diversity requires at least four RX channels. A cell must work in at
least 4R mode to implement this feature.
This feature uses the four channels to receive the same signals from a single UE to improve
signal reliability.
3.2 Multiple-Antenna Receive Multiplexing

This section describes the principles of multiple-antenna receive multiplexing. For
engineering guidelines, see 7 Engineering Guidelines.
Multiple-antenna receive multiplexing implements uplink MU-MIMO based on the hardware

used for multiple-antenna receive diversity. For example, uplink 2x2 MU-MIMO requires at
least two RX antennas while uplink 2x4 MU-MIMO requires at least four RX antennas.
3.2.1 LOFD-001002 UL 2x2 MU-MIMO

Uplink MU-MIMO is controlled by the UlVmimoSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UlSchSwitch parameter. To enable this feature in a cell, select this option
and ensure that the cell works in at least 2R mode. When the channel conditions of UEs are
favorable, 2x2 MU-MIMO can be performed for the UEs.
The eNodeB attempts to pair UEs in each transmission time interval (TTI). If the pairing
succeeds, the eNodeB performs 2x2 MU-MIMO.
UE Selection
In each TTI, the eNodeB schedules UEs in sequence. If all resources are used up but some
UEs are still not scheduled, the eNodeB attempts to pair unscheduled UEs with scheduled
UEs.

eRAN
Pairing Judgment
Based on the pre-pairing signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and inter-UE channel
correlation, the eNodeB calculates the post-pairing SINR and then calculates the post-pairing
spectral efficiency based on the SINR.
If the total post-pairing spectral efficiency of two UEs is higher than the total pre-pairing
spectral efficiency, the eNodeB pairs the two UEs. Otherwise, the eNodeB does not pair the
two UEs.
3.2.2 LOFD-001058 UL 2x4 MU-MIMO

Uplink MU-MIMO is controlled by the UlVmimoSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UlSchSwitch parameter. To enable this feature in a cell, select this option
and ensure that the cell works in at least 4R mode. When the channel conditions of UEs are
favorable, 2x4 MU-MIMO can be performed for the UEs.
The eNodeB attempts to pair UEs in each TTI. If the pairing succeeds, the eNodeB performs
2x4 MU-MIMO.
The pairing principles of 2x4 MU-MIMO are the same as those of 2x2 MU-MIMO. For
details, see 3.2.1 LOFD-001002 UL 2x2 MU-MIMO.

eRAN
MIMO Feature Parameter Description 4 Downlink MIMO

4.1 Downlink Transmission

This section discusses downlink MIMO on the eNodeB side. For details about downlink
transmission on the UE side, see section 7.1 "UE procedure for receiving the physical
downlink shared channel" in 3GPP TS 36.213 V10.6.0.
Downlink Transmission Procedure

Figure 4-1 illustrates the downlink transmission procedure at the logical and physical layers:
l The process up to "CRS port" involves transmission solutions and transmission modes at
the logical layer.
l The process from "CRS port" onwords involves mapping between cell-specific reference
signal (CRS) ports and TX channels at the physical layer.
NOTE
The number of CRS ports cannot exceed the number of configured TX channels.
Figure 4-1 Downlink transmission procedure
The following explains the MIMO-specific concepts introduced in Figure 4-1:
l Codeword
Different codewords represent different data. LTE supports a maximum of two
codewords.
When two or more antennas are available at both the TX and RX ends, multiple
codewords are supported and the number of codewords depends on the conditions of

eRAN
radio channels and the UE category. Dual-codeword transmission is typically used for
UEs with a category of 2 or above in scenarios with high SINR and low channel
correlation.
l Rank
If the transmission rank for a codeword is 1, the eNodeB typically uses transmit
diversity. Alternatively, the eNodeB can use transmission mode 6 (TM6), which is a
special form of closed-loop spatial multiplexing using a single transmission layer.
If the transmission rank is greater than 1, the eNodeB uses spatial multiplexing.
l Layer mapping and precoding
Layer mapping and precoding are used to map codewords onto CRS ports.
In layer mapping, codewords are mapped onto layers. The number of layers (also
called MIMO layers) is determined by the rank. The maximum number of layers is
determined by the number of CRS ports, as shown in Table 4-1.
In precoding, layered data streams are mapped onto CRS ports.
l CRS port
CRS ports are logical antenna ports. According to protocols, a cell can be configured
with one, two, or four CRS ports. The number of CRS ports is specified by the
Cell.CrsPortNum parameter. Table 4-1 describes the logical antenna ports used as CRS
ports.
Table 4-1 Logical antenna ports used as CRS ports

Number Logical Antenna Ports Description
of CRS
Ports
1 Port 0 The eNodeB can select only single-

codeword transmission, which is not a
MIMO solution.
2 Ports 0 and 1 A maximum of two layers can be

selected.
4 Ports 0, 1, 2, and 3 A maximum of four layers can be

selected.
Example
Figure 4-2 illustrates layer mapping and precoding when four CRS ports are available.

4.1.1 Transmission Solutions and Modes

Once the number of CRS ports has been determined, the transmission solution then depends
on the transmission mode.
Table 4-2 describes the available transmission solutions with two CRS ports in different
transmission modes.

4.1.2 Transmission Mode Configuration

This initial transmission mode used in random access and the transmission modes used in
subsequent scheduling are set using different parameters.
4.1.2.1 Initial Transmission Mode

The initial transmission mode is determined by the following parameters in the
CellMimoParaCfg MO:
l InitialMimoType: specifies an initial transmission type.

l MimoAdaptiveSwitch: specifies whether to enable an adaptive transmission mode.
l FixedMimoMode: specifies a fixed transmission mode.

TM2, TM3, TM4, and TM6 are configured by the following parameters in the
CellMimoParaCfg MO:
l MimoAdaptiveSwitch: specifies whether to enable an adaptive transmission mode.

l FixedMimoMode: specifies a fixed transmission mode.

TM9 and TM10

TM9 or TM10 is recommended in a low-speed cell, provided that a sufficient proportion of
UEs in the cell supports these transmission modes. TM9 and TM10 are controlled by the
TM9Switch and TM10Switch options of the CellAlgoSwitch.EnhMIMOSwitch parameter,
respectively. TM9 and TM10 cannot be enabled simultaneously for a cell.
l TM9 is suitable for a 2T cell with adaptive single frequency network (SFN) enabled. A
2T cell is a cell with two TX channels.

eRAN
l TM10 is suitable for a 4T cell with adaptive SFN enabled.

For details on the applications of TM9 and TM10 in adaptive SFN cells, see SFN.
4.1.3 CRS Port Mapping

CRS port mapping is required in cells working in at least 4T mode. Signal correlations
between antennas vary with polarization directions. Mapping CRS ports onto TX channels
can optimize signal correlations.
NOTE
Mapping CRS ports onto TX channels means mapping CRS ports onto RRU TX/RX ports. The
sequence of these ports is fixed. For details, see RRU hardware description.
CRS port mapping is controlled by the Cell.CrsPortMap parameter. By adjusting this

parameter, you can change the mapping between CRS ports and TX channels. The following
uses a 4T4P cell (a cell with four TX antennas and four CRS ports) as an example to describe
CRS port sequence and CRS port mapping configuration.
CRS Port Sequence

Figure 4-3 illustrates the default and recommended configurations for a 4T4P cell on the
assumption that the physical antennas are installed in non-cross mode.
l The default configuration refers to the default mapping between CRS ports and TX
channels. It is used when the Cell.CrsPortMap parameter is set to NOT_CFG(Not
configure).
For a remote radio unit (RRU) working in 4T mode, CRS ports 0, 1, 2, and 3 are mapped
onto TX channels A, B, C, and D, respectively.
For two combined 2T RRUs, CRS ports 0, 1, 2, and 3 are mapped onto TX channels A,
B, A, and B, respectively.
l The recommended configuration is as follows:
For a 4T RRU, set the Cell.CrsPortMap parameter to 4T4P_0321, mapping CRS
ports 0, 1, 2, and 3 onto TX channels A, D, C, and B.
For combined 2T RRUs, set the Cell.CrsPortMap parameter to 4T4P_0213,
mapping CRS ports 0, 1, 2, and 3 onto TX channels A, A, B, and B.
Figure 4-3 RRU-antenna connection in non-cross mode

eRAN
For a 4T RRU and two combined 2T RRUs, the same Cell.CrsPortMap parameter setting
results in different CRS port sequences on RRU hardware.
l For a 4T RRU, the digital sequence specified by the parameter indicates the CRS port
sequence on channels A, B, C, and D. However, the default channel sequence on RRU
hardware is ACDB.
l For two combined 2T RRUs, the digital sequence specified by the parameter indicates
the CRS port sequence on channels A, B, A, and B.
For example, if the Cell.CrsPortMap parameter is set to 4T4P_0213, then:
l For a 4T RRU, the theoretical channel sequence and CRS port sequence are .
However, the actual sequences are .

l For two combined 2T RRUs, the theoretical channel sequence and CRS port sequence
are . The actual sequences are the same as the theoretical sequences.
CRS Port Mapping Configuration

Table 4-6 lists the Cell.CrsPortMap settings and the actual CRS port sequences
corresponding to the default channel sequences on RRU hardware.

7 Engineering Guidelines
7.1 When to Use

Uplink MIMO and downlink MIMO are generally deployed for a cell at the same time.
Therefore, this chapter provides engineering guidelines for both uplink MIMO and downlink
MIMO as a whole, not for specific features one by one.
Multiple transmission/reception (TX/RX) modes can be configured for cells in practice. The
modes listed in Table 7-1 are used as examples to describe the feature deployment
procedures.

Uplink Multiple-Antenna Receive Diversity and Downlink MIMO

Cell TX/RX modes are determined by the capabilities of hardware such as sector equipment
and antennas. For details, see Cell Management.
As cell TX/RX modes (2T2R or 4T4R) depend on hardware, this section does not provide
specific deployment suggestions on uplink multiple-antenna receive diversity and downlink
MIMO.

eRAN
Uplink MU-MIMO
Uplink MU-MIMO can offer obvious gains when the following conditions are met:
l The PUSCH load is high. That is, the uplink physical resource block (PRB) usage
exceeds 90%.
l There are enough PDCCH resources for UE pairing. That is, the control channel element
(CCE) usage is less than 80%.
7.2 Required Information

None
7.3 Planning
7.3.1 RF Planning
For the TX/RX capabilities of RF modules, see Hardware Description in product
documentation.
7.3.2 Network Planning
Common Networking Requirements

To ensure performance, MIMO has the following requirements:
l Downlink 2x2 MIMO requires that TX channels be connected to physical antennas in

different polarization directions.
l Downlink 4x2 MIMO and 4x4 MIMO require that the feeders between physical antennas
and RRUs be of the same type, the feeders be shorter than 75 m, and the length
difference between the feeders be less than 1 m.
l Uplink 4-antenna receive diversity requires that the feeders between physical antennas
and RRUs be of the same type and the length difference between the feeders be less than
1 m.
l If two antennas are combined for use, both uplink MIMO and downlink MIMO require
that the antennas have the same azimuth and downtilt angle.
Network Reconstruction Requirements

Adjust antennas for 4T4R in the following scenarios:
l Reducing the antenna installation space

Replace the original separated antennas with an integrated antenna, as shown in Figure
7-1. Adjust the downtilt angles and azimuths, making them consistent between cells 1
and 2.

eRAN
Figure 7-1 Reconstruction for reducing the antenna installation space
l Utilizing the original antennas

When only two antenna ports are assigned to the original cells, use two more antenna
ports for the new 4T4R cell, as shown in Figure 7-2.
In case 1 of state 3 (where each 2T2R cell is changed to a 4T4R cell), adjust the
antenna downtilt angles of at least one cell. The downtilt angles must be consistent
between the two cells so that the signals of all antennas can be combined.
In case 2 of state 3 (where cell 2 is changed from 2T4R to 4T4R), adjust the
antenna downtilt angles of cell 2 to the same direction so that the 4T effects can be
ensured.
Figure 7-2 Reconstruction for utilizing the original antennas
In Figure 7-1 and Figure 7-2:
l From state 1 to state 2, there may be no gains or even performance loss during the
adjustment of downtilt angles and azimuths.

eRAN
To achieve an overall improvement on 2T2R, ensure that the basic performance does not
deteriorate during the adjustment.
l From state 2 to state 3, there will be gains after 4T4R is deployed.
7.3.3 Hardware Planning

Sector Planning
Sectors can be set up in the following ways:
l One sector is set up on one RF module.
l One sector is set up on two RF modules that support the same frequency band.
l Multiple sectors are set up on one RF module.
Figure 7-3 illustrates sector setup, where RRUs are used as RF modules and one cell is
established in each sector. For the cell setup procedure, see Cell Management.

eRAN
Figure 7-3 Sector setup
For example, a sector can be set up for a 2T2R cell on:

l One 2T2R RRU
l Two 1T2R RRUs (redundant RX channels can be provided for other cells)

eRAN
l One RRU with more than two TX or RX channels, where only two TX channels and two
RX channels are provided for this cell and the other TX or RX channels can be provided
for other cells.
Similarly, sectors can be set up on appropriate RRUs for cells in other TX/RX modes.
RRU Planning
Table 7-2 shows the restrictions on RRU combination and splitting in different TX/RX
modes.
Table 7-2 Restrictions on RRU combination and splitting

TX/RX Mode Restriction on RRU Restriction on RRU

1T2R N/A If a 2T4R or 4T4R RRU is

used, a 1T2R cell can be set
up only on channels A and
C or channels B and D. The
cell cannot be set up on
channels A and B.
2T2R N/A If a 2T4R RRU is used, a

2T2R cell can be set up
only on channels A and B.
If a 4T4R RRU is used, it is
recommended that a 2T2R
cell be set up on channels A
and C, B and D, or A and B.
2T4R Two RF modules of some N/A

models cannot be combined
to serve a 2T4R cell. These
models are RRU3201,
RRU3203, RRU3808, and
LRFU.
Two MRFUd modules can
be combined to serve a 2T4R
cell. The recommended
configuration is 2T2R
+0T2R.
BBU Planning
If a cell is set up on an LBBPc, the number of CRS ports is equal to the number of physical
antennas and the Cell.CrsPortNum parameter does not take effect. For example, if the LBBPc
is configured to support 2T mode, the number of CRS ports is 2, regardless of the
Cell.CrsPortNum parameter value.

eRAN
7.4 Deployment

Other Features
For details, see 5 Related Features.
Hardware
The TX/RX capabilities of cells depend on the TX/RX capabilities of BBPs. For the TX/RX
capabilities of BBPs, see Hardware Description in product documentation.
To implement MIMO, the operator also needs to consider capacity license. Each BBP is
licensed by default to provide two baseband TX channels and two baseband RX channels for
each cell. Each RF module is licensed by default to provide two RF TX channels and two RF
RX channels.
Therefore, a 2T2R cell does not require additional channel licenses. For a 4T4R cell, the
operator needs to purchase the license for the items listed in Table 7-3.

license. For details about what and how many license control items are required, see License

7.4.2 Hardware Adjustment

MIMO performance is highly dependent on RRU-antenna connections. This section provides
the typical RRU-antenna connections for 2T2R and 4T4R cells.
2T2R Cells
Figure 7-4 uses a 2T2R RRU as an example to illustrate the recommended non-cross
connection. Downlink 2x2 MIMO requires that TX channels be connected to physical
antennas in different polarization directions.

FD-121 UL to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
610 8x64 ImIcSwitch: Indicates whether to enable the
MU- intermodulation (IM) interference cancellation for
MIMO UEs. When data is transmitted in both the uplink and
downlink, uplink signals generate two IM components
symmetrically beside the Direct Current (DC)
subcarrier on the downlink receive channel due to the
nonlinearity of the UE receive channel. If this option
is selected, IM component elimination is performed
for UEs. If this option is deselected, IM component
elimination is not performed for UEs. This option
applies only to LTE FDD cells working on frequency
band 20. This option applies only to LTE FDD.
SmartPreAllocationSwitch: Indicates whether to
enable uplink smart preallocation when the
PreAllocationSwitch option is selected. If both the
PreAllocationSwitch and this option are selected and
the SmartPreAllocationDuration parameter in the
CellPreallocGroup MO is set to a value greater than 0,
uplink smart preallocation is enabled. Otherwise,
uplink smart preallocation is disabled. This option
applies only to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
PuschDtxSwitch: Indicates whether the eNodeB uses
the PUSCH discontinuous transmission (DTX)
detection result during uplink scheduling. If this
option is selected for an LTE FDD cell, the eNodeB
determines whether to perform adaptive
retransmission, and also adjusts the CCE aggregation
level of the PDCCH carrying downlink control
information (DCI) format 0 based on the PUSCH
DTX detection result during uplink scheduling. If an
LTE FDD cell is established on an LBBPc, this option
takes effect only if the cell uses less than four RX
antennas and normal cyclic prefix (CP) in the uplink
and the SrsCfgInd parameter in the SRSCfg MO is set
to BOOLEAN_TRUE(True). Note that the LBBPc
does not support PUSCH DTX detection for VMIMO
UEs. For an LTE TDD cell, this option takes effect
only when the uplink-downlink subframe

uplink IBLER adjustment algorithm. If this option is
selected, the target IBLER is adjusted for UEs based
on the channel quality and fluctuation to increase the
cell throughput. This option applies only to LTE FDD
and LTE TDD. If this option is selected independently
for FDD cells with the UlTargetIBlerAdaptType
option deselected, the algorithm does not take effect.

scheduling. This option applies only to LTE FDD.
UlIicsAlgoSwitch: Indicates whether to enable the

uplink interference-intensity-based coordinated
scheduling (UL IICS) algorithm. If this option is
selected, interference can be reduced based on
accurate detection of user attributes and scheduling
resource coordination, increasing the cell edge
throughput. This option applies only to LTE TDD.
UlEnhancedSrSchSwitch: Indicates whether uplink re-

scheduling is performed only when the On Duration
timer for the DRX long cycle starts. Uplink re-
scheduling is required if the number of HARQ
retransmissions for a scheduling request (SR) reaches
the maximum value but the scheduling still fails. If
this option is selected, uplink re-scheduling is
performed only when the On Duration timer for the
DRX long cycle starts. If this option is deselected,
uplink re-scheduling is performed immediately when
the number of HARQ retransmissions for SR reaches
the maximum value but the scheduling still fails. It is
recommended that this option be selected for live
networks. This option applies only to LTE FDD and
LTE TDD.
SchedulerCtrlPowerSwitch: Indicates whether the

uplink scheduler performs scheduling without
considering power control restrictions. If this option is
selected, the uplink scheduler performs scheduling
without considering power control restrictions,
