DRX Algorithm Activation Impact on RSSI

Technical Description
Discontinuous Reception (DRX) Defintion:
DRX is a technology in which a UE can switch between active and sleep states. When the UE needs to
receive downlink (DL) data or signaling, the UE turns on its receiver and enters the active state. In
other situations, the UE turns off its receiver and enters the sleep state to reduce power consumption
In DRX mode, a DRX cycle consists of active time and sleep time, which correspond respectively to the
active state and sleep state. In non-DRX mode, the UE keeps its receiver on and stays in the active
state.

RSSI Counters and Formula:
Counter ID Counter Name Counter Description

1526732045 L.UL.RSSI.PUCCH.Index0 Number of times the eNodeB detects a PRB-level average RSSI ranging within index 0 on the PUCCH

RSSI Counters and Formula:
The counters measure the RSSI on the PUCCH in a cell. RSSI indexes (0 to 21) are defined as follows:
Index 0: (RSSI ≤-120 dBm)
Index 1: (-120dBm < RSSI ≤ -118 dBm) , Index 2: (-118dBm < RSSI ≤ -116 dBm)
Index 5: (-112dBm < RSSI≤-110 dBm) , Index 6: (-110dBm < RSSI ≤ -108 dBm)
Index 21: (RSSI > -80 dBm)
The total RSSI on the PUCCH is sampled per 10 ms. The eNodeB divides the total RSSI by the number of
PUCCH PRBs, maps the average RSSI to an index, and increases the counter with this index by 1.

DRX and RSSI:
In the uplink scheduler, while preparing the priority queue a user is assigned weight zero if it is sleeping. In
other words a user cannot receive uplink grant as long as it is sleeping. To send data in the uplink a mobile
terminal has to wait until the next awake period.
Based on RSSI formula, when there is no data in PUCCH the RSSI contains Interference and Noise such as
sleep periods of DRX. So as you can find in next table for those cells which DRX has been activated the
number of samples with data reduced and the number of samples in index0, 1 and 2 increased which are
related to sleep mode.
Please note that uplink throughput and downlink delay have their normal trend.

Related Switches:
Accord to the Scheduling algorithm, if there the twice DTX are detected, the UE will be turned into DRX silence
time by forced. As the result the UL Grant will be not enough, that will affect the UL Throughput.
DrxRcvDtxProSwitch : Indicates whether to enable DRX-enabled UEs to enter the DRX sleep time. When this
parameter is set to ON and two consecutive discontinuous transmissions (DTXs) are detected, the eNodeB
continues the scheduling within the valid Inactivity timer period. Otherwise, the eNodeB enables the UE to
forcibly enter the DRX sleep time
PreAllocationSwitch: Indicates whether to enable preallocation in the uplink. When this switch is on: (1) If
SmartPreAllocationSwitch is off and a UE is in the discontinuous reception (DRX) state, preallocation is disabled
for the UE in the uplink.
SriFalseDetThdSwitch: Indicates whether to increase the scheduling request indicator (SRI) false detection
threshold for UEs in the discontinuous reception (DRX) state. If this parameter is set to ON, the threshold
increases and the SRI false detection probability decreases. If this parameter is set to OFF, both the threshold and
the probability remain unchanged.

Related Switches:
ULEnhancedSRSchSwitch : When UlEnhancedSrSchSwitch is set to OFF, If the maximum number of

retransmission attempts is reached but the SR UE still fails to transmit data, the BSR fails to be sent and
scheduling fails to start on the SR UE. In this situation, the eNodeB attempts to schedule the SR UE again and
performs the attempt twice. This process is referred to as re-scheduling for SR UEs. If the eNodeB falsely detects
an SR from an SR UE in the dormant state of DRX mode, the eNodeB will schedule the SR UE for three
consecutive times and associated data transmissions will all fail when the maximum number of retransmissions is
reached. In this situation, the BLER increases. When UlEnhancedSrSchSwitch is set to ON, The eNodeB
determines whether to stop SR re-scheduling based on the PUSCH DTX detection result. For a UE in DRX mode,
SR re-scheduling is performed only during long DRX cycles.
