 PhichResource
 Parameter name: PHICH resource
 Meaning: Indicates a coefficient that is used to calculate the resources
used by the PHICH for the cell. It corresponds to the Ng parameter in the
protocol. A smaller value results in a smaller number of PHICH groups, a
larger number of UEs supporting code division multiplexing in each
PHICH group, lower PHICH demodulation performance, and a larger
number of UEs scheduled on the PDCCH per TTI. A larger value leads to
the opposite effects.

 PhichDuration
 Parameter name: PHICH duration
 Meaning: Indicates the PHICH duration type. If this parameter is set to
NORMAL, the number of OFDM symbols occupied by the PDCCH is
automatically adjusted. If this parameter is set to EXTENDED, the number
of OFDM symbols occupied by the PDCCH is fixed. Specifically, this
number is fixed to 3 or 4 for 1.4 MHz cells and 3 for cells with other
bandwidths.

 The PDCCH occupies the first or first several symbols of a subframe. If the bandwidth
is 1.4 MHz (Macro), it occupies a maximum of four symbols. In the case of other
bandwidths, it occupies a maximum of three symbols. The basic allocation unit is
control channel element (CCE).
 The PDCCH transmits the following three types of downlink control information (DCI):
 Downlink grant
 This DCI includes the PDSCH resource indicator, modulation and
coding scheme (MCS), HARQ process number, and PUCCH power
control commands. This DCI has multiple formats, such as formats 1,
1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2, and 2A.
 Uplink grant
 This DCI includes the PUSCH resource indicator, MCS, and PUSCH
power control commands. This DCI has only format 0.
 Power control commands
 This DCI is a group of PUSCH power control commands for a UE,
which supplement PUSCH/PUCCH power control commands in an
uplink grant. This DCI has formats 3 and 3A.

 A CCE is the smallest resource unit for transmission on a PDCCH. Each CCE
contains nine REGs and carries 72-bit information. Each REG contains four resource
elements (REs). Based on code rates, the eNodeB can aggregate one, two, four, or
eight CCEs to constitute a PDCCH, which corresponds to aggregation level 1, 2, 4, or
8, as stipulated in 3GPP specifications. The aggregation level indicates the number of
CCEs a PDCCH occupies. For example, if the aggregation level is 1, the PDCCH
occupies one CCE; if the aggregation level is 2, the PDCCH occupies two CCEs.
 PDCCHs with aggregation level 8 have the lowest code rate and the best
demodulation performance. If PDCCH aggregation levels for all UEs in a cell
are set to 8, CCE resources for PDCCHs are wasted for UEs in the cell center
and at a medium distance from the cell center.
 PDCCHs with aggregation level 1 have the highest code rate and the worst
demodulation performance. If PDCCH aggregation levels for all UEs in a cell
are set to 1, PDCCHs may not be correctly demodulated by UEs at a medium
distance from the cell center and at the cell edge.

The ePDCCH and PDSCH use the frequency division multiplexing (FDM) while

 PDCCH symbol adaptation enables the eNodeB to adjust the number of symbols
occupied by a PDCCH based on the number of required CCEs.
 When a PDCCH requires fewer CCEs, the eNodeB decreases the number of
symbols occupied by the PDCCH and allocates idle time-frequency resources
to PDSCHs.
 When a PDCCH requires more CCEs, the eNodeB increases the number of
symbols occupied by the PDCCH until the number reaches the maximum
permissible value.
 To rapidly provide sufficient CCEs when more CCEs are required and prevent ping-
pong adjustments to the number of symbols occupied by a PDCCH, the eNodeB
rapidly increases and then slowly decreases the number of symbols occupied by the
PDCCH.

 CCE usage within a certain period of time must be measured to determine whether
more CCEs are required and whether there are remaining CCEs available for use.
 If uplink or downlink CCEs fail to be allocated or no remaining CCE is
available in a transmission time interval (TTI), more CCEs are required. In this
situation, the number of symbols occupied by the PDCCH must be increased.
Uplink CCEs transmit uplink scheduling grants, and downlink CCEs transmit
downlink scheduling grants.
 If remaining CCEs are available in a period after uplink and downlink
scheduling is complete, the number of required CCEs is less than the number
of available symbols. In this situation, the number of symbols occupied by the
PDCCH can be decreased.
 The CellPdcchAlgo.PdcchSymNumSwitch parameter specifies whether to enable
PDCCH symbol adaptation. The number of symbols occupied by the PDCCH is
specified by the CellPdcchAlgo.InitPdcchSymNum parameter. The
CellPdcchAlgo.ULDLPdcchSymNum parameter specifies the number of symbols
initially occupied by a PDCCH in a downlink subframe for transmitting both uplink and
downlink scheduling control information.
 For FDD, when the CellPdcchAlgo.PdcchSymNumSwitch parameter is set to
ECfiAdaptionON, enhanced PDCCH symbol adaptation is enabled. This function
enables symbol adaptation to be based on downlink load, CCE load, and scheduling

type. Compared with the case where this parameter is set to ON, ECfiAdaptionON
enables the number of symbols occupied by the PDCCH to be increased in a slower
manner and be decreased in a quicker manner.
 When the downlink load is greater than 90%, the number of symbols will not be
increased in case CCE allocation fails for downlink scheduling.
 When the downlink load is greater than 90%, as long as CCE allocation failure
for uplink scheduling does not occur during the previous TTI and the remaining
CCE resources are sufficient, the eNodeB immediately decreases the number
of symbols occupied by the PDCCH.
 When the remaining CCE resources are sufficient, the number of symbols will
not be increased in the case of CCE allocation failures. The threshold for
determining whether remaining CCE resources are sufficient is specified by the
CellPdcchAlgo.CfiAdjCceThld parameter.
 When the CellPdcchAlgo.HysForCfiBasedPreSch parameter is set to 0 or
the CellPdcchAlgo.CfiAdjCceThld parameter is set to a value other than INF,
the number of symbols will not be increased in case CCE allocation fails for
uplink preallocation.

 PdcchSymNumSwitch
 Parameter name: PDCCH Symbol Number Adjust Switch
 Description: If this parameter is set to OFF, the number of OFDM
symbols occupied by the PDCCH is fixed and cannot be dynamically
adjusted. If this parameter is set to ON, the number of OFDM symbols
occupied by the PDCCH is dynamically adjusted based on the number of
required CCEs, and therefore cell downlink throughput increases. If this
parameter is set to ECFIADAPTIONON, the dynamic adjustment of the
number of OFDM symbols occupied by the PDCCH considers cell
downlink throughput, and therefore can reach higher throughput when
downlink frequency selective scheduling is enabled.

 InitPdcchSymNum
 Parameter name: PDCCH Initial Symbol Number
 Description: A small value of this parameter increases the possibility that
the cell supports dynamic adjustment on the number of OFDM symbols
occupied by the PDCCH and increases the downlink throughput in
unlimited CCE scenarios. However, the low PDCCH capacity may
decrease the downlink throughput in limited CCE scenarios. A large
value of this parameter decreases the possibility that the cell supports
dynamic adjustment on the number of OFDM symbols occupied by the
PDCCH. In addition, the high PDCCH capacity may decrease the
downlink throughput.

 Parameter name: Uplink and Downlink PDCCH Symbols Configuration
 Meaning: Indicates the number of OFDM symbols initially occupied by the
PDCCH in the downlink subframe in which uplink and downlink scheduling
control information is transmitted. If the PDCCH Symbol Number Adjust Switch
parameter is set to OFF, this parameter indicates the fixed number of OFDM
symbols occupied by the PDCCH in the downlink subframe in which uplink and
downlink scheduling control information is transmitted. For downlink subframes
in which both uplink and downlink scheduling control information is transmitted, if
the PDCCH Symbol Number Adjust Switch parameter is set to ON, the number
of OFDM symbols occupied by the PDCCH is as follows: On the bandwidth of 5
MHz, the PDCCH occupies 2 or 3 OFDM symbols. (In this case, the
configuration of this parameter is invalid.) On the bandwidth of 10 MHz, 15 MHz,
or 20 MHz, the PDCCH occupies 1, 2, or 3 OFDM symbols when this parameter
is set to 1, and the PDCCH occupies 2 or 3 OFDM symbols when this parameter
is set to 2 or 3. This parameter applies only to LTE TDD.

number increase caused by uplink preallocation failures when the
PdcchSymNumSwitch parameter is set to ECFIADAPTIONON. If the
HysForCfiBasedPreSch parameter is set to 0, preallocation failures do
not trigger CFI number increase. This parameter applies only to LTE

 PDCCH aggregation level adaptation is performed as follows:

 The eNodeB uses the CQI adjustment algorithm to calculate the CQI value.
 The eNodeB calculates the SINR of downlink reference signals based on the CQI
value.
 The eNodeB calculates the SINR of the PDCCH based on the SINR of the downlink
reference signals.
 The eNodeB calculates the demodulation thresholds for various code rates or
aggregation levels based on the DCI formats.
 The eNodeB compares the PDCCH SINR with the demodulation threshold for each
aggregation level and selects an appropriate PDCCH aggregation level.
 The eNodeB provides the aggregation level adaptation function for PDCCHs carrying uplink
and downlink grants, which helps maximize the demodulation performance and capacity of the
PDCCH. This function enables the eNodeB to select an appropriate PDCCH aggregation level
based on channel quality. Channel quality is derived from the CQI. An appropriate PDCCH
aggregation level is the lowest aggregation level ensuring PDCCH demodulation performance
(BLERs less than 1.5%).
 Aggregation level adaptation does not apply to a PDCCH used for carrying a power control
command in DCI format 3 or 3A or for indicating the transmission of random access response,
paging, or system information messages on the PDSCH. An appropriate aggregation level
must be set for the PDCCH so that all UEs in the cell can successfully interpret the control
information. The CellPdcchAlgo.ComSigCongregLv parameter specifies the PDCCH
aggregation level.

 Parameter name: SignalCongregateLevel
 Description: A smaller value results in lower PDCCH demodulation
performance, but it leads to a larger number of UEs that can be
scheduled and a lower probability of CCE allocation congestion for
common control signaling. A larger value leads to the opposite effects.

 PDCCHAggLvlAdaptStrage
 Parameter name: The Strategy Of PDCCH Aggregation Level Adaptation
 Meaning: Indicates the adaptation strategy of the PDCCH aggregation
level. The STRATEGYBASEDONCOVERAGE check box is selected for
this parameter by default. In this case, a higher aggregation level is
applied, and therefore the cell that the control channel serves has better
coverage. However, the number of scheduling UEs carried by the control
channel decreases. If the STRATEGYBASEDONCAPACITY check box
is selected, a lower aggregation level is applied, and the control channel
carries more scheduling UEs. This parameter applies only to LTE TDD.

 Parameter name: Aggregation Level Strategy for Dual Codewords
 Meaning: Indicates the policy for control channel element (CCE)
aggregation level selection of the physical downlink control channel
(PDCCH) in dual-codeword scenarios. In capacity-based CCE
aggregation level selection of the PDCCH, set this parameter to the
default value STRATEGYBASEDONCAPACITY. In this situation, the
average CCE aggregation level of the PDCCH in dual-codeword
scenarios decreases, and more UEs can be supported on the PDCCH. In
coverage-based CCE aggregation level selection of the PDCCH, set this
parameter to STRATEGYBASEDONCOVERAGE. In this situation, the
average CCE aggregation level of the PDCCH in dual-codeword
scenarios increases and cell coverage performance improves.

 In PDCCH aggregation level adaptation, the eNodeB selects a PDCCH aggregation

level based on the SINR, which is calculated based on the MCS index for the
scheduled PDSCH. When the interference with the PDSCH differs from the
interference with the PDCCH, the selected PDCCH aggregation level may not be
appropriate, leading to possible service drops in the worst-case scenario. In addition,
periodic CQI adjustment used for selecting an MCS is slower than channel condition
changes. Therefore, closed-loop adjustment to the PDCCH aggregation level is
added.
 The PDCCH BLER is calculated based on the downlink DCI or uplink DCI 0. Closed-
loop adjustment to the PDCCH aggregation level in the downlink is based on the
downlink DCI. The PuschDtxSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.UlSchSwitch
parameter determines whether closed-loop adjustment to the PDCCH aggregation
level in the uplink is based on the downlink DCI or uplink DCI 0 as follows:
 Uplink DCI 0 if the option is selected.
 All downlink DCIs if the option is deselected.

 To adapt to changes in uplink and downlink services and improve cell throughput and quality of
service (QoS), the eNodeB dynamically adjusts the CCE ratio based on the usage of uplink
and downlink CCEs.
 If more downlink CCEs are required and there are remaining uplink CCEs, the eNodeB
allocates more available downlink CCEs.
 If more uplink CCEs are required and there are remaining downlink CCEs, the eNodeB
allocates more available uplink CCEs.
 If more uplink and downlink CCEs are both required or there are remaining uplink and
downlink CCEs, the eNodeB does not adjust the CCE ratio.
 CCE ratio adaptation is correlated to PDCCH symbol adaption. If the number of symbols
occupied by a PDCCH does not reach the maximum value and more uplink or downlink CCEs
are required, the eNodeB preferentially increases the number of symbols occupied by the
PDCCH. The eNodeB determines whether to adjust the CCE ratio only after the number of
symbols occupied by a PDCCH reaches the maximum value.
 The CellPdcchAlgo.CceRatioAdjSwitch parameter specifies whether to enable CCE ratio
adaptation.
 If this parameter is set to ON, the eNodeB dynamically adjusts the CCE ratio in each
TTI based on the usage of uplink and downlink CCEs.
 If this parameter is set to OFF, the eNodeB does not dynamically adjust the CCE ratio.
 For TDD, when the CELLPDCCHALGO.CceRatioAdjSwitch parameter is set to
ENHANCED_CCE_RATIO_ADJUSTMENT, the eNodeB dynamically adjusts the CCE
ratio in each TTI based on the usage of uplink and downlink CCEs. If uplink CCE
allocation fails due to CCE unavailability in the search space, the uplink-downlink CCE
ratio will not be adjusted. This option takes effect only on macro eNodeBs.

 The eNodeB can adaptively adjust the SRS period for individual UEs based on SRS
loads. This way is called UE-specific SRS period adaptation.
 The CellSrsAdaptiveCfg.SrsPeriodAdaptive parameter determines whether to
enable or disable SRS period adaptation.
 If this parameter is set to ON, the eNodeB adaptively adjusts the SRS period
for newly admitted UEs based on SRS loads. SRS resources may be normally
loaded, slightly congested, or heavily congested. A high SRS load results in a
long SRS period set for newly admitted UEs.
 If this parameter is set to OFF, the eNodeB sets a fixed SRS period for newly
admitted UEs. The CellSrsAdaptiveCfg.UserSrsPeriod parameter specifies
the fixed SRS period, which can be set to 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, or 320 ms. If a
short fixed SRS period is configured, the maximum number of UEs using SRS
in a cell may not reach the maximum allowed value. If a long fixed SRS period
is configured, the maximum number of such UEs in a cell increases but the
performance of features depending on SRS measurement deteriorates.
