(PUSCH) DTX Detection Proposal

This document proposes turning on the PUSCH DTX switch to improve uplink throughput in CMPak North networks. It describes how the switch works by having the base station determine whether to perform retransmission or new transmission based on PUSCH DTX detection results. Testing showed uplink throughput was 3.19 Mbps on average with the switch on versus 3.09 Mbps with it off, a 3.23% improvement. Based on these results, the document recommends implementing the PUSCH DTX switch on one tracking area code first to check the effects.

Introduction:
• To improve UL Average Throughput by performing UL Transmission during UL scheduling  based on the PUSCH DTX detection result in
CMPAK North Network a trial for switching on PUSCH DTX Switch is proposed to improve UL user experience in North Region.

• If this switch is turned on, based on the PUSCH DTX detection result, the eNodeB determines whether to perform adaptive retransmission
or New transmission during UL scheduling.

• It also adjusts the control channel element (CCE) aggregation level of the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) carrying control
information (DCI) format 0 (UL Info).

• So when UL Transmission is made when PUSCH transmission is detected as discontinuous transmission UL throughput is increased.

MML command for Switch:

• MOD CELLALGOSWITCH:LOCALCELLID=X,ULSCHSWITCH=PuschDtxSwitch-1;

Feature Description:

PuschDtxSwitch

Indicates whether the eNodeB uses the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) discontinuous transmission (DTX) detection result during
uplink (UL) scheduling. 

• If this switch is turned on, based on the PUSCH DTX detection result, the eNodeB determines whether to perform adaptive
retransmission or New transmission during UL scheduling.

• It also adjusts the control channel element (CCE) aggregation level of the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) carrying control
information (DCI) format 0 (UL Info).

Feature Description:

PUSCH DTX Scheduling Strategy
Indicates the scheduling policy for the initial PUSCH transmission that is detected as discontinuous transmission (DTX) when PuschDtxSwitch
of the UlSchSwitch parameter is on.

• If the PuschDtxSchStrategy parameter is set to NEW_TX, initial transmission instead of retransmission is performed when the initial
PUSCH transmission is detected as DTX.

• If the PuschDtxSchStrategy parameter is set to ADAPTIVE_RETX, adaptive retransmission is performed when the initial PUSCH
transmission is detected as DTX. 

• If this parameter is set to NEW_TX, fewer uplink resource blocks (RBs) are wasted caused by UL Grant miss detection, but uplink packet
loss may occur when the initial PUSCH transmission is falsely detected as DTX.

• If this parameter is set to ADAPTIVE_RETX, the probability of possible uplink packet loss caused by false detection of the initial PUSCH
transmission as DTX decreases, but more uplink RBs and CCEs are consumed.

Testing Methodology:

• From beginning there are cells on which this switch is PuschDtxSwitch is switched on. Comparison of
UL Throughput of last month has been done.

UL Throughput Comparison:

• Below table shows the comparison between Switch PuschDtxSwitch On and Off Cells for Uplink
throughput.
• It can be seen that UL Avg Throughput is improved in cells with PuschDtxSwitch On.

Group Average Ul Throughput


(Mbps)
Switch On 3.19
Switch Off 3.09

Percentage Difference :  3.23%

Conclusion:

• Significant UL Throughput improvement observed in comparison between Switch PuschDtxSwitch On and Off Cells.

• Percentage Improvement of  3.23% is observed.

• Its suggested that to implement PuschDtxSwitch on one TAC first and check results.
