Features Usage Benefits Drawbacks

Scenario
RLC Cell edge Less retransmissions Extra header;
Low delay More PDCCH
Segmentation resource;

RLC UM For QCI1 and Lower delay, small Tolerant Packet

QCI2 Bearers header loss

C-DRX For Connoted Saving battery (no Complicated

User need monitor PDCCH Configuration
all the time)

Service Connoted Saving battery. Complicated

User per QCI Providing the “best fit” Configuration
Specific DRX with priority DRX settings for
certain services.

TTI Bundling Cell edge Increase coverage， Limited UL

Lower delay compare throughput
with segmentation and
HARQ retransmissions
（RLC\MAC overhead
and PDCCH resource）

Features Usage Benefits

Scenario
Delay Based For QCI=1 Save PDCCH/PUCCH resources
bearers Save SE/TTI resources
Scheduling Increased MBB throughput @ high VoLTE
load

SPS For QCI=1 Reduce SR(scheduling request), saving

bearers battery
RoHC For QCI=1 Increase capacity and coverage as smaller
bearers packets results in less PDU segmentation at
low MCS

Enhanced High load Improved system capacity

Better control of PDCCH error rate
PDCCH Link
Adaptation
PDCCH Limited PDCCH Increase capacity
scenario
power boost
