KPI Degradation Due To PdcchCfiMode

1) Setting the PdcchCfiMode to dynamic caused most cells to use CFI mode 1, which resulted in failures of handovers between cells (intra-node) and ERAB drops due to interference between the PDCCH and CRS. 2) Defining neighbor relations between cells through ANR reduced ERAB drops and improved handover success rates by reducing re-establishments. 3) Using CFI modes 2 and 3 instead of 1 statistically reduced the problem by allocating the PDCCH to different symbols, avoiding interference with CRS. Various configuration changes like adjusting TimeToTriggerA3 and using PDCCH power boosting and non-shifted PCI planning further improved KPIs

PdcchCfiMode

Classificatie

Impact HO failures
After setting the PdcchCfiMode to
dynamic:
- CFI mode 1 is used on most of the
cells
- HO execution fails intra-node
- UE re-establishes on target sector
lower band (UE behaviour?)
- Behaviour seen in traces and
counters
- If AMO feature enabled then more
counters available

Classificatie

Impact ERAB drops


RRC re-establishment works ONLY if
there is a neighbour relation between
the source cells and target cell

ANR defines the IF neighbour:


- ERAB drops drastically
reduce
- Re-establishment success
rate improves

NB: LTE1800 integration


scripts define ONLY cosector IF neighbours

Classificatie

Impact cause
When CFI mode 1 is used:
- PDCCH is only mapped on symbol 0, which is used by CRS
- Due to shifted PCI planning PDCCH is interfered by CRS on neighbour
cells
- Due to synchronization the effect is seen mostly on intra node HO
When CFI mode 2 or 3 is used:
- Statistically problem reduces due to allocation of PDCCH on symbols 1
or 2

Improving the KPIs


1. Manually declare LET1800-LET800 intra site neighbours
Add inter-sector in the baseline scripts
2. CRS de-boosting
Naturally helped by reducing the interference
3. Get rid of CFI mode 1
Less probability of PDCCH being interfered
4. Reducing TimeToTriggerA3
Default E/// 40ms, KPN setting 320ms
5. PDCCH Power Boost feature
6. Non-shifted PCI planning
