Definition Scheduled IP Thoughput in DL. Throughput of PDCP SDU bits in downlink for packet sizes or
data bursts that are large enough to require transmissions to be split across several TTIs, by
excluding transmission of the last piece of data in a data burst. Only data transmission time is
considered, i.e. when data transmission over Uu has begun but not yet finished. Each
measurement is a real value representing the throughput in kbits/s. The measurement is
performed per QCI per UE. For successful reception, the reference point is MAC upper SAP.
If ThpTimeDl 0, 0 [kbits / s]
For small data bursts, where all buffered data is included in one initial HARQ transmission,
ThpTimeDl 0 , otherwise ThpTimeDl T 1 T 2 ms

Definition Scheduled IP Throughput in UL. eNB estimate of the throughput of PDCP SDU bits in uplink for
packet sizes or data bursts (where a UL data burst is the collective data received while the eNB
estimate of the UE buffer size is continuously above zero) that are large enough to require
transmissions to be split across several TTIs, by excluding transmission of the last piece of data.
Only data transmission time is considered, i.e. when data transmission over Uu has begun but
not yet finished. Each measurement is a real value representing the throughput in kbits/s. The
measurement is performed per QCI per UE. For successful reception, the reference point is MAC
upper SAP.
