2 Overview
2.1 Background
Three LTE voice solutions are available.
In a CSFB solution, when a user equipment (UE) initiates a circuit-switched (CS) service in
the E-UTRAN, the MME instructs the UE to fall back to the legacy GERAN or UTRAN
before the UE performs the service. For details on CSFB, see CS Fallback Feature Parameter
Description.
2.2 Introduction
VoLTE allows UEs on the E-UTRAN to access voice services. The voice services are set up
over the IP transport network between the UEs and the IMS.
Emergency services are not described in this document. For details on emergency services,
see Emergency Call.
2.3 Benefits
VoLTE provides UEs in the E-UTRAN with voice services, without needing to fall back to
GERAN or UTRAN. VoLTE has the following benefits:
2.4 Architecture
Network Architecture
Figure 2-3 uses a non-roaming LTE/SAE (System Architecture Evolution) architecture as an
example. For details on the roaming and non-roaming network architectures, see section 4.2
"Architecture reference model" in 3GPP TS 23.401.
The IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) includes multiple network elements (NEs). These NEs
perform voice session control and multimedia negotiation between the calling and called UEs.
Functional Architecture
The basic functions of VoLTE are as follows:
AMR
AMR is an audio data compression scheme optimized for speech coding. It is widely used in
GERANs and UTRANs. There are AMR wideband (AMR-WB) and AMR narrowband
(AMR-NB) schemes. Table 3-1 lists the voice coding rates supported by these schemes. For
details about AMR-WB, see 3GPP TS 26.201. For details about AMR-NB, see 3GPP TS
26.101.

EVS, introduced in 3GPP TS 26.445 in September 2014, allows for high-definition (HD)
VoLTE speech coding and provides more significant gains than AMR-WB. There are EVS
narrowband (EVS-NB), EVS wideband (EVS-WB), EVS superwideband (EVS-SWB), and
EVS fullband (EVS-FB) schemes. Table 3-2 lists the voice coding rates supported by these
schemes.

VoLTE mobility capability decision was introduced in 3GPP Release 11. This further helps
the MME in selecting a voice policy.
1. During attach, the MME sends a UE Radio Capability Match Request message to the
eNodeB to query the UE's VoLTE mobility capability. This message was introduced in
3GPP Release 11.
2. If the eNodeB has not received the UE radio capability from the UE, it sends a UE
Capability Enquiry message to the UE.
3. The UE uses the UE Capability Information message to report its radio capability. For
details on this message, see section 5.6.3 "UE Capability Transfer" in 3GPP TS 36.331
Release 10.
4. If the eNodeB determines that the UE can ensure voice service continuity after the UE
accesses the voice service, it informs the MME using the UE Radio Capability Match
Response message.
VoLTE mobility capability decision is controlled by the setting of the
SupportS1UeCapMatchMsg option of the GlobalProcSwitch.ProtocolSupportSwitch
parameter.
l If this option is selected, the eNodeB supports VoLTE mobility capability decision. The
eNodeB determines that a UE can ensure voice service continuity if the UE supports at
least one of the following:
– UTRAN and SRVCC from E-UTRAN to UTRAN
– GERAN and SRVCC from E-UTRAN to GERAN
– PS domain of UTRAN-FDD (that is, VoHSPA), and SRVCC from this PS domain
to the CS domain of UTRAN-FDD or GERAN
– PS domain of UTRAN-TDD (that is, VoHSPA), and SRVCC from this PS domain
to the CS domain of UTRAN-TDD or GERAN
l If this option is deselected, the eNodeB does not evaluate VoLTE mobility capabilities.
When the eNodeB receives a UE Radio Capability Match Request message, it responds
to the MME with an Error Indication. As a result, VoLTE is selected as the voice policy
for UEs that do not support SRVCC, in which case voice service continuity cannot be
ensured.
NOTE
The MME informs the eNodeB of the MME's SRVCC capability using the Initial UE Context Setup
message:
l After the eNodeB obtains the MME's SRVCC capability, it considers both the MME's capability and
the preceding UE capabilities. If the MME does not support SRVCC, the eNodeB replies to the
MME that the VoLTE service continuity cannot be ensured.
l If the eNodeB is not informed of the MME's SRVCC capability (for example, the UE Radio
Capability Match Request message arrives at the eNodeB earlier than the Initial UE Context Setup
message), the eNodeB does not consider the MME's capability when determining voice service
continuity.
Description
VoLTE services have high requirements on the end-to-end delay. According to ITU-T
Recommendation G.114, VoLTE users are very satisfied with voice quality when the end-to-
end delay is less than 200 ms, are satisfied when the end-to-end delay is between 200 ms to
275 ms, and become dissatisfied when the end-to-end delay exceeds 275 ms, as shown in
Figure 3-5. According to Table 6.1.7: Standardized QCI characteristics in section 6.1.7.2
"Standardized QoS characteristics" of 3GPP TS 23.203, the recommended delay budget is 80
ms for the Uu interface and 20 ms between the EPC and eNodeB. If the transmission delay
between the EPC and eNodeB is greater than 20 ms, voice quality may not be guaranteed after
VoLTE is deployed on the eNodeB.
Configuration Principles
Allocate dedicated tracking area identities (TAIs) to the specified areas, and configure data at
the associated MMEs so that CSFB instead of VoLTE will be used in the identified tracking
areas (TAs). During attach and tracking area updates (TAUs), UEs negotiate or re-negotiate
voice policies with the MMEs. Voice policy negotiation between the UE and the MME is
transparent to eNodeBs.
For eNodeBs in the TAs with none of these dedicated TAIs, select the VoipHoControlSwitch
option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter and run the ADD
EUTRANVOIPHOBLKLIST command to configure the intra-RAT VoLTE handover
blacklist. This way, UEs performing VoLTE services will no longer be handed over to or have
their RRC connections reestablished with the cells served by the VoLTE-prohibited eNodeBs.
If VoLTE is disabled for a specific TA on the MME side, the VoIP-related counters, such as E-
RAB Setup Success Rate (VoIP), become 0 in the cells served by eNodeBs connected to the
MME.
In VoLTE-prohibited scenarios, when an Initial UE Context Setup, E-RAB Setup Request, or
E-RAB Modify Request message involves both a QCI 1 bearer and other bearers, the eNodeB
will reject the other bearers. To prevent this, select the VoLTEOffOptSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.VoLTESwitch parameter. Selecting this option stops the eNodeB from
rejecting the other bearers and the E-RAB Setup Success Rate of the bearers (other than QCI
1 bearers) will no longer be affected.
NOTE
If the operator wants to prevent a frequency band from carrying VoLTE services, service-request-based
inter-frequency handover will be enabled and the optimized QCI 1 processing function for VoLTE-
prohibited scenarios will fail. In this scenario, you are advised to deselect the VoLTEOffOptSwitch
option of the CellAlgoSwitch.VoLTESwitch parameter.
added to the eNodeB side to accommodate the TAC-based voice policy configurations on the
MME side.
For details on the VoIP handover blacklist and target cell selection procedures for VoIP
handovers, see Intra-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature Parameter
Description.
Description
Operators prefer to assign specific frequency bands, such as LTE TDD bands, only to data
services.
Configuration Principles
The configuration principles are the same as those when the end-to-end delay is excessively
large. For details, see 3.2.2.1 Excessively Large End-to-End Delay.
Description
Operators prefer to prohibit voice services on certain frequencies.
Configuration Principles
l At cells on VoLTE-prohibited frequencies, select the SrvBasedInterFreqHoSw option
of the CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch parameter. When setting up voice services, the
serving eNodeBs of these cells perform service-based inter-frequency handovers.
l At cells on VoLTE-allowed frequencies, set the EutranInterNFreq.VolteHoTargetInd
parameter to NOT_ALLOWED for the neighboring VoLTE-prohibited frequencies. The
serving eNodeBs of these cells filter out the VoLTE-prohibited frequencies when
selecting frequencies for measurement or blind handover during inter-frequency
handovers of VoLTE services.
The dedicated bearers for voice services perform QoS parameter control based on the
dynamic PCC rule, as follows:
1. The IMS (P-CSCF) sends QCI information to the PCRF over the Rx interface.
2. Based on the received QCI information and subscription information, the PCRF
generates a QoS rule and sends it to the P-GW over the Gx interface. This rule includes
the following key QoS parameters: QCI, ARP, GBR, and MBR.
3. Based on the QoS rule sent from the PCRF, the P-GW instructs the S-GW, MME, and
eNodeB to set up EPS bearers. Services of different QoS requirements are carried by
radio bearers with different QCIs. According to 3GPP specifications, the QCIs for
conversational voice, conversational video, and IMS signaling are 1, 2, and 5,
respectively. Table 3-3 lists their QoS parameters. For details, see 3GPP 23.203.

NOTE
3.4.1 Overview
This section describes how the basic features LBFD-002023 Admission Control and
LBFD-002024 Congestion Control work for VoLTE. For details about the two features, see
Admission and Congestion Control.
The eNodeB performs admission and congestion control for conversational voice (QCI 1) and
IMS signaling (QCI 5), separately.
NOTE
SRS resource allocation is considered during admission control over non-GBR services with QCI 5 only
when the eNodeB is equipped with an LBBPc board. SRS resources must be successfully allocated
before these services can be admitted.
IMS signaling (QCI 5) cannot be preempted even if the PreemptionSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.RacAlgoSwitch parameter is selected.
On commercial LTE networks, the EPF scheduling policy is used in the uplink and downlink
by default.
For details on dynamic scheduling for voice services, see Scheduling Feature Parameter
Description.
When dynamic scheduling is used, you can enable active packet bundling for downlink
VoLTE services. This allows two or more voice packets to be bundled for scheduling, saving
PDCCH CCE resources for downlink VoLTE services. This function is controlled by the
DlVoipBundlingSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.DlSchSwitch parameter.
NOTE
Scheduling Priorities
When dynamic scheduling is used, the scheduling priority depends on whether LOFD-001109
DL Non-GBR Packet Bundling is enabled:
l If this feature is disabled and the EPF downlink scheduling algorithm is used, then the
priority of voice packets (QCI 1) is lower than that of the following:
– User-level control messages
– IMS signaling (QCI 5)
– Public safety control signaling (QCI 69)
– Public safety voice services (QCI 65)
– HARQ retransmission data
– RLC AM status report
However, the priority of voice packets (QCI 1) is higher than that of initial transmission
data.
l If this feature is enabled, then the priority of voice packets (QCI 1) is no longer higher
than that of initial transmission data. Instead, the eNodeB sorts overall priorities.
This function is not recommended in heavy-load scenarios. This is because the downlink
MCS index decrease causes more downlink RBs to be occupied and allows the eNodeB to
select a low PDCCH aggregation level, resulting in insufficient downlink resources in cells.
Item AH ESP
Protocol ID in IP header 51 50
As specified in RFC 2406, IPsec ESP in transport mode is used for SIP message transmission
for voice services. ESP can work in an encryption-only or integrity-protection-only manner.
l When the encryption algorithm is null and the integrity protection algorithm is not null,
only integrity protection is performed.
l When the integrity protection algorithm is null and the encryption algorithm is not null,
only encryption is performed. In transport mode, ESP encrypts the payload of IP packets
but does not encrypt IP headers.
NOTE
3.6.2 Procedure
Figure 3-8 shows the SIP message parsing procedure for voice services.
Step 1 The eNodeB determines whether SIP messages have been encrypted.
1. After receiving an IP packet on the QCI 5 radio bearer, the eNodeB checks the value in
the encryption field of the IP packet header to determine whether an encryption
algorithm was used.
In an IPv4 packet header, the encryption field is protocolType. In an IPv6 packet header,
the encryption field is NextHeader.
– If the value is 50, an encryption algorithm was used. The eNodeB proceeds to 2.
The eNodeB determines whether the null encryption algorithm is used.
– If the value is not 50, no encryption algorithm was used. The eNodeB proceeds to
Step 2. The eNodeB parses SIP messages.
2. The eNodeB determines whether this encryption algorithm is the null algorithm.
The eNodeB checks whether the mandatory header field From or CSeq can be found in
individual SIP messages.
– If From or CSeq is found, the null encryption algorithm was used. The eNodeB
proceeds to Step 2. The eNodeB parses SIP messages.
– If From or CSeq is not found, an encryption algorithm other than null was used. In
this case, the eNodeB does not parse the SIP messages and considers that SIP
message parsing has failed.
NOTE
l Before determining whether IP packets received over a QCI 5 radio bearer have been encrypted, the
eNodeB filters out non-SIP messages.
l Before the eNodeB determines whether this encryption algorithm is the null algorithm, it checks the
number of SIP messages after the filtering:
If the number of SIP messages after the filtering is greater than or equal to four, the eNodeB
performs 2. The eNodeB determines whether the null encryption algorithm is used.
If the number of SIP messages after the filtering is less than four and the mandatory header field is
found in the SIP messages, the null encryption algorithm was used. If the number of SIP messages
after the filtering is less than four and the mandatory header field is not found in the SIP messages,
the eNodeB cannot determine whether the null encryption algorithm was used.

The keyword is n The eNodeB records the location of the keyword and

n The eNodeB parses the fields (including evs-mode-

AMR WB, AMR type, and bit rate.
n The eNodeB proceeds to The eNodeB records
information about the rate sets.
Figure 3-9 SIP message A (the last but one SIP message ahead of the ACK)
Figure 3-10 SIP message B (the last SIP message ahead of the ACK)
The eNodeB records the first piece of information about the rate set (PT = 110) in
SIP message A and the first piece of information about the rate set (PT = 107) in
SIP message B.
Step 3 The eNodeB checks the PT value and determines the voice rate set.
l When the eNodeB receives an uplink RTP voice packet on the QCI 1 bearer, it parses the
"payload type" field in the packet header to obtain the PT value.
l The eNodeB compares the PT value in the RTP packet header with the PT values
recorded in Step 2. The eNodeB parses SIP messages.
– If the PT value is the same as a recorded PT value, the rate set information
corresponding to the PT value is used as the negotiated QCI 1 rate set information
for the current voice service.
– If the PT value is different from the recorded PT values, the eNodeB considers that
the negotiated QCI 1 rate set information for the current voice service is not
obtained.
Example: The PT value in the uplink RTP packet is compared with the previously recorded
rate set information (PT = 110 and PT = 107).
As shown in Figure 3-11, the PT value in the uplink RTP packet is 110, which is the same as
a PT value recorded in Step 2. The eNodeB parses SIP messages. The rate set information
corresponding to this PT value is used as the negotiated QCI 1 rate set information for the
current voice service.
----End
The parsing-limited scenarios, in which PT value check fails, are listed as follows:
Operators can enable the features described in this chapter to improve VoLTE performance
such as capacity and coverage.
Introduction
When dynamic scheduling is used for voice services, the time-frequency resources or
modulation and coding scheme (MCS) is updated through the PDCCH every 20 ms. This
consumes a large number of PDCCH resources. Figure 4-1 shows the resource allocation for
dynamic scheduling.
Huawei has developed the VoIP semi-persistent scheduling feature for small-packet services
that are periodically transmitted, such as VoIP. Before entering talk spurts, the eNodeB
allocates fixed resources to UEs through a PDCCH message. Before exiting talk spurts or
releasing resources, the UEs do not need to apply for resource allocation from the PDCCH
again, thereby saving PDCCH resources. Figure 4-2 shows the resource allocation for semi-
persistent scheduling.
After the PDCCH message is sent, voice packets are sent at the intervals specified by
CellUlschAlgo.UlSpsInterval and CellDlschAlgo.DlSpsInterval. A smaller semi-persistent
scheduling interval indicates a smaller scheduling delay of voice packets and higher voice
quality.
NOTE
The eNodeB configures semi-persistent scheduling parameters for UEs that support semi-
persistent scheduling in RRC Connection Reconfiguration messages during DRB setup for
QCI 1. The eNodeB activates uplink or downlink semi-persistent scheduling for UEs when
the UEs meet the activation conditions. The eNodeB instructs UEs to activate uplink or
downlink semi-persistent scheduling through the PDCCH Order notification. For details on
the format of the PDCCH Order notification, see section 9.2 "PDCCH/EPDCCH validation
for semi-persistent scheduling" in 3GPP TS 36.213 V12.3.0.
Effect Period
During talk spurts, uplink or downlink semi-persistent scheduling takes effect when all the
following conditions are met:
l Switches specified by the following parameters are turned on:
– For the uplink, SpsSchSwitch under CellAlgoSwitch.UlSchSwitch
– For the downlink, SpsSchSwitch under CellAlgoSwitch.DlSchSwitch
– CellAlgoSwitch.EmcSpsSchSwitch. For semi-persistent scheduling to take effect
for emergency call services, set this parameter to ON in addition to the preceding
two switches.
l The UE supports semi-persistent scheduling.
l The UE accessing voice services is in uplink or downlink talk spurts.
l The QCI 1 bearer is the only dedicated bearer for the UE in the uplink or downlink. In
addition, for the uplink, data transmissions do not occur on the data bearer.
l RLC segmentation is not performed in the uplink or downlink for the UE.
l When ROHC is enabled, the uplink or downlink ROHC is in the stable compression
state, essentially, the size of each ROHC header is relatively stable.
During talk spurts, eNodeBs use dynamic scheduling in the following scenarios:
l Large packets are to be scheduled during semi-persistent scheduling. Examples of large
packets include channel-associated signaling and uncompressed packets generated when
ROHC updates contexts.
l In the downlink, semi-persistently scheduled data is to be retransmitted.
l In the uplink, semi-persistently scheduled data is to be retransmitted in an adaptive
manner.
l Emergency call services are to be transmitted, but the
CellAlgoSwitch.EmcSpsSchSwitch parameter is set to OFF.
NOTE
When the UE uses semi-persistent scheduling, the highest MCS index is 15.
When the number of zero-payload packets received by the eNodeB in uplink semi-persistent
scheduling exceeds the value of CellUlschAlgo.SpsRelThd, the eNodeB automatically
releases semi-persistently allocated resources.
When uplink semi-persistent scheduling is used for voice services and uplink PRBs are
sufficient, it is recommended that the FIRST_RETRANS_EXPN_RB_SWITCH option of
the CELLULSCHALGO.UlVoLTERetransSchStrategy parameter be selected to reduce the
voice packet loss rate and improve voice user experience. If this option is selected in a cell,
the eNodeB determines whether to use adaptive retransmission for prioritized RBs from the
first retransmission onwards based on the transmit power of UEs performing voice services.
Load-based Scheduling
For voice services, two scheduling modes are available: dynamic scheduling and semi-
persistent scheduling. These modes are compared in Table 4-1.
For newly initiated voice services, load-based scheduling allows the eNodeB to adaptively
select dynamic or semi-persistent scheduling. The selection is based on the service load in
both the uplink and downlink as follows:
l If the load is high, the eNodeB applies semi-persistent scheduling to avoid PDCCH
overload and a negative impact on voice quality and capacity.
l If the load is low, the eNodeB applies dynamic scheduling to provide better voice
experience and improve spectral efficiency.
Load-based scheduling in the uplink and downlink is controlled by the following options:
l For the uplink, UlVoIPLoadBasedSchSwitch option of
CellUlSchAlgo.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw
l For the downlink, DlVoIPLoadBasedSchSwitch option of
CellDlSchAlgo.DlEnhancedVoipSchSw
Terminal Blacklist
The semi-persistent scheduling feature can be disabled for specified UE types by configuring
a blacklist. Table 4-2 describes the blacklist configurations.
NOTE
After deploying VoLTE, operators can enable or disable ROHC by setting the
CellAlgoSwitch.RohcSwitch parameter. ROHC is an extensible framework consisting of
different profiles for data streams compliant with different protocols. Profiles define the
compression modes for streams with different types of protocol headers. Voice services use
profiles 0x0001 and 0x0002.
The size of compressed voice packets varies because the ROHC compression efficiency
depends on the ROHC operating mode and the change in the dynamic part of packet headers
at the application layer. A header can be compressed to a size as small as 1 byte, which
efficiently reduces the voice packet size.
4.2.1.1 Overview
TTI bundling enables a data block to be transmitted in four consecutive TTIs, which are
bound together and treated as the same resource. Different HARQ redundancy versions of the
same data block are transmitted in different TTIs. TTI bundling makes full use of HARQ
combining gains and reduces the number of retransmissions and RTT.
When a CEU experiences poor channel quality and is allocated limited transmit power, TTI
bundling increases the cell edge coverage of the PUSCH. This improves the uplink channel
quality for the UE. TTI bundling released in 3GPP Release 12 (referred to as R12 TTI
bundling) further increases the cell edge coverage of the PUSCH. The gains produced by this
feature can be observed when voice quality is maintained at a certain level, for example, when
the mean opinion score (MOS) is 3.
4.2.1.2 Principles
Protocol Compliance
The functions supported by TTI bundling vary with the protocol release and depend on the
CellTtiBundlingAlgo.R12TtiBundlingSwitch parameter setting as follows:
Entry Conditions
The conditions for UEs to enter the TTI bundling state are as follows:
If all the conditions are met, the eNodeB sends the UE an RRC Connection Reconfiguration
message, instructing the UE to enter the TTI bundling state.
NOTE
Assume that the UE transmits a data block in a bundle of TTIs, and the last TTI is numbered
N. The eNodeB sends an ACK or NACK message as feedback to the UE in the (N + 4)th TTI.
Based on the feedback, the UE determines whether a retransmission is required as follows:
l If CellTtiBundlingAlgo.R12TtiBundlingSwitch is set to ON, the UE retransmits the
data block in the (N + 9)th through (N + 12)th TTIs if necessary, as shown by the green
arrow in Figure 4-5. The maximum number of uplink HARQ retransmissions is
specified by the CellTtiBundlingAlgo.R12TtiBHarqMaxTxNum parameter.
l If CellTtiBundlingAlgo.R12TtiBundlingSwitch is set to OFF, the UE retransmits the
data block in the (N + 13)th through (N + 16)th TTIs if necessary, as shown by the orange
arrow in Figure 4-5. The maximum number of uplink HARQ retransmissions is
specified by the CellUlschAlgo.TtiBundlingHarqMaxTxNum parameter.
For a UE in the TTI bundling state, the number of RLC segments of a voice packet must be
smaller than or equal to the value of CellUlschAlgo.TtiBundlingRlcMaxSegNum. As an
example, in Figure 4-6, the value of this parameter is 4.
When the UE is located at the cell edge, RLC segmentation in collaboration with TTI
bundling produces fewer RLC segments than RLC segmentation without TTI bundling. This
reduces PDCCH overheads.
Exiting Conditions
l If the VoLTE service is ongoing, the eNodeB instructs the UE to exit the TTI bundling
state by sending an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message when the measured SINR
is greater than the sum of the target SINR and the
CellUlschAlgo.HystToExitTtiBundling parameter value for multiple consecutive times.
The number of consecutive times is specified by the StatisticNumThdForTtibExit
parameter.
l If the VoLTE service is released, the eNodeB instructs the UE to exit the TTI bundling
state by sending an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message when the measured SINR
is greater than Min{(target SINR + CellUlschAlgo.HystToExitTtiBundling parameter
value), 6 dB} for multiple consecutive times. The number of consecutive times is
specified by the StatisticNumThdForTtibExit parameter.
NOTE
After a UE enters the TTI bundling state, the eNodeB does not instruct the UE to exit this state when
any of the following occurs:
l A data service is transmitted on the default bearer.
l A new dedicated bearer is set up.
l The QCI 1 voice service is released.
Instead, the eNodeB instructs the UE to exit the TTI bundling state when either of the following occurs:
l The UE meets the exiting conditions.
l The UE experiences a handover, service drop, or RRC connection reestablishment.
l During a handover or RRC connection reestablishment, the TTI bundling state in the
source cell applies to the target cell. Essentially, if a UE is in the TTI bundling state
before a handover or RRC connection reestablishment, the UE enters the TTI bundling
state after the handover or RRC connection reestablishment without another TTI
bundling evaluation, reducing reconfiguration signaling and improving voice quality.
NOTE
This function requires that TTI bundling be enabled in the target cell of handover or RRC
connection reestablishment.
l The highest MCS index allowed is no longer 10.
The number of uplink RLC segments is dependent on the TBS determined by uplink
scheduling. The smaller the TBS, the larger the number of uplink RLC segments. If channel
quality is poor, uplink power is limited and a small TBS results in a large number of uplink
RLC segments, which causes:
l Long delay of VoLTE packets
l Loss of uplink VoLTE packets (because VoIP packets wait in the UE buffer so long that
they cannot be scheduled in a timely manner and the packet discard timer expires at the
PDCP layer on the UE side)
l Large overhead of RLC or MAC headers
l Large consumption of CCEs and RBs by uplink dynamic scheduling of VoLTE services
Uplink RLC segmentation enhancement restricts the TBS in uplink dynamic scheduling to
control the number of uplink RLC segments for VoLTE packets. This restriction improves
voice quality when channel quality is poor.
l If the number of uplink RLC segments is less than or equal to this parameter value,
uplink RLC segmentation enhancement does not take effect.
l If the number of uplink RLC segments is greater than this parameter value, uplink RLC
segmentation enhancement takes effect. The minimum TBS is guaranteed in each uplink
dynamic scheduling based on the VoLTE packet size and the configured maximum
number of RLC segments. This way, the number of uplink RLC segments of a VoLTE
packet will not exceed its upper limit.
Uplink RLC segmentation enhancement does not take effect when any of the following
conditions is met:
l LOFD-111207 VoLTE Rate Control (referred to as AMR rate control), which performs
AMR-NB/AMR-WB rate adjustment on uplink VoLTE services.
l LEOFD-121202 EVS Rate Control (referred to as EVS rate control), which performs
EVS rate adjustment on uplink VoLTE services.
4.2.3.1 Overview
The eNodeB performs AMR-NB/AMR-WB/EVS-SWB rate adjustment on uplink voice
services based on the uplink channel quality and voice quality as follows:
l When the uplink channel quality and voice quality are good, a high voice coding rate is
used, further improving voice quality.
l When uplink channel quality and voice quality are poor, a low voice coding rate is used,
reducing the uplink packet loss rate and improving uplink voice coverage. If downlink
coverage is limited prior to uplink coverage (for example, in the coverage area of a micro
or LampSite base station), the eNodeB is unlikely to trigger a decrease in voice coding
rates.
NOTE
The EVS-SWB codec scheme is implemented only in the full-header format composed of the
Codec_Mode_Request (CMR) byte.
NOTE
During a UE handover or an RRC connection reestablishment, if the rate can be adjusted in the source
cell, the UE will use its initial rate in the target cell. The eNodeB then determines whether to adjust the
UE rate based on the target cell conditions.
Signaling Process
The eNodeB determines whether to adjust the voice coding rate depending on the uplink
channel quality and voice quality. If rate adjustment is needed, either the eNodeB or session
border controller (SBC) adjusts the voice coding rate of the UE depending on the parameter
settings, as described in Table 4-3.
ADAPTIVE_ENB_CONTROL(ADA AMR
PTIVE_ENB_CONTROL) EVS-SWB
Adjustment Process
According to the rates supported by a UE, the voice coding rate can be adjusted between the
high coding rate mode and the low coding rate mode.
Rate Scheme High Rate Coding Mode Low Rate Coding Mode
(VoiceAmrControl.HighA (VoiceAmrControl.LowA
mrCodingMode) mrCodingMode)
AMR-NB 12.2 kbit/s and 7.4 kbit/s 7.4 kbit/s and 4.75 kbit/s
AMR-WB 23.85 kbit/s and 12.65 kbit/s 12.65 kbit/s and 6.6 kbit/s
EVS-SWB 24.4 kbit/s and 13.2 kbit/s 13.2 kbit/s and 9.6 kbit/s
NOTE
Voice rate control only supports rate adjustment within one rate scheme.
For the EVS-SWB scheme, if the channel aware mode (CAM) is used, the UE voice coding rate must be
24.4 kbit/s or 13.2 kbit/s.
Triggering Conditions
Table 4-4 lists the triggering conditions for uplink-quality-based voice rate adjustment.
The increased coding rate can exceed the initial coding rate of the current call only if the
UlAmrcExceedingInitialSw or UlEvsExceedingInitialSw option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.AmrcAlgoSwitch parameter is selected.
4.2.3.3 Restrictions
Application Conditions
AMR or EVS rate control does not take effect when any of the following conditions are met:
l The speech codec scheme in use is not AMR-NB, AMR-WB, or EVS-SWB header-full
(with CMR).
l RTP packets are encrypted.
l In scenarios where the eNodeB cannot parse the SIP messages for voice services (see
3.6.3 Parsing-Limited Scenarios for details), the eNodeB determines whether AMR or
EVS is used based on the first SID frame size.
– If AMR is used, the eNodeB is configured to perform rate adjustment, and IMS
signaling is encrypted (IPsec with the null algorithm is not involved), then:
n If the UlAmrCheckSw option of the CellAlgoSwitch.AmrcAlgoSwitch
parameter is selected, AMR rate control does not take effect.
n If the UlAmrCheckSw option of the CellAlgoSwitch.AmrcAlgoSwitch
parameter is deselected, the eNodeB cannot obtain the UE-supported rate set
from the signaling message encrypted on the IMS.
○ The UE adjusts the rate if it supports the target rate. If the target rate is
not supported in this session, one-way audio occurs due to UE
incompatibility.
○ The UE does not adjust the rate if it does not support the target rate.
– If EVS is used, the rate cannot be adjusted.
– If the speech codec scheme cannot be identified, voice rate control does not take
effect.
l There are either no rates or only one rate shared by the UE-supported rate set and the
configured rate set.
l If another network node is performing rate adjustment, the
CellUlSchAlgo.RateCtrlCmrProcessStrategy parameter controls whether AMR or EVS
rate control takes effect as follows:
– The value BASIC_STRATEGY indicates that the eNodeB does not perform rate
adjustment.
– The value ADAPTIVE_STRATEGY indicates that the eNodeB can perform rate
adjustment only when the target rate provided by the eNodeB is lower than or equal
to that provided by the other node.
l During a UE handover or an RRC connection reestablishment, if rate adjustment is
disabled in the source cell or any of the preceding conditions is met, the rate cannot be
adjusted in the source cell; and after the handover, the rate cannot be adjusted in the
target cell because the target cell inherits the rate control status from the source cell.
l The UE does not respond to the rate adjustment request, and the rate adjustment fails.
For example:
If IPsec with the null algorithm is used, the eNodeB can still perform AMR or EVS rate control through
rate adjustment.

NOTE
This feature is enhanced in eRAN11.1. In versions earlier than eRAN11.1, it is controlled by the
UlJROverRelaxedBHSw option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.OverBBUsSwitch parameter. For details,
see eRAN8.1 UL CoMP Feature Parameter Description. In eRAN11.1 and later versions, this option
needs to be selected if the pre-enhancement feature is to be used.
Overview
This feature determines whether to set up the dedicated voice bearer based on uplink channel
quality. When identifying a UE in a weak-coverage area, the eNodeB declines to set up the
dedicated voice bearer for the UE, and the IMS requests the UE to retry a CSFB call. This is
to try to ensure a successful voice call.
Principles
After this feature is enabled, the eNodeB calculates the uplink path loss based on the power
headroom report (PHR) sent by a UE and measures the uplink SRS/DMRS to obtain the
uplink SINR (SRS refers to sounding reference signal and DMRS refers to demodulation
reference signal). The eNodeB determines that the UE is in a weak-coverage area if both the
following conditions are met:
1. The eNodeB receives an E-RAB SETUP REQUEST message from the IMS. The
message contains a request to set up a dedicated voice bearer of QCI 1 for a UE.
2. After determining that the UE is in a weak-coverage area, the eNodeB returns an E-RAB
SETUP RESPONSE message with the cause value of Radio Resource Not Available to
the IMS, declining to set up a dedicated voice bearer.
When the UE is in idle mode, CS Paging Notification is sent to the UE through a Paging
message. When the UE is in connected mode, CS Paging Notification is sent to the UE
through a DL NAS message.
Overview
This function allows the eNodeB to identify users experiencing poor voice quality based on
the uplink or downlink packet loss rate of QCI 1 services. The eNodeB triggers inter-
frequency measurements and inter-frequency handovers for these users to decrease the packet
loss rate and increase the percentage of LTE UEs on the LTE network.
l If the uplink or downlink QCI 1 packet loss rate is greater than the
CellHoParaCfg.VolteQualIfHoQCI1PlrThld parameter value, the eNodeB determines
that the UE's voice quality becomes unfavorable. In this case, the eNodeB triggers inter-
frequency measurement.
l If both the uplink and downlink QCI 1 packet loss rates are smaller than or equal to the
CellHoParaCfg.VolteQualRecoveryQci1PlrThld parameter value, the eNodeB
determines that the UE's voice quality becomes favorable. In this case, the eNodeB stops
inter-frequency measurement.
NOTE
To eliminate the impact of gap-assisted measurements on voice quality and reduce air interface signaling
overheads, the eNodeB triggers only one voice-quality-based inter-frequency handover measurement for
a UE in a cell during voice calls.
Inter-Frequency Measurement
Before delivering the A4 measurement configurations, the eNodeB checks whether the gap-
assisted measurement has been activated. If the gap-assisted measurement has been activated
and includes other gap-assisted measurement, the eNodeB does not reconfigure the gap-
assisted measurement. Otherwise, the eNodeB activates the gap-assisted measurement.
Inter-Frequency Handover
Voice-quality-based inter-frequency handovers can be triggered by event A4. Working
principles of event A4 for triggering voice-quality-based inter-frequency handovers are the
same as those of event A4 for triggering coverage-based inter-frequency handovers. For
details, see Intra-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode.
4.2.6.1 Overview
This feature increases the tolerable delay over the Uu interface, decreases the probability of
uplink packet loss caused by congestion over the Uu interface, and improves the uplink
coverage for voice service UEs as follows:
l Optimizes the following QCI 1 radio bearer-related items that the eNodeB sends to UEs:
– PDCP-layer discard timer
– Maximum number of uplink HARQ transmissions
l Optimizes the timer for reordering at the receiver eNodeB in AM/UM.
l Selects the optimal TBS based on the volume of VoLTE data to be scheduled.
4.2.6.2 Principles
This feature is controlled by the UlVoipCrosslayerOptSwitch option of the
CELLULSCHALGO.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw parameter.
Table 4-9 lists the timer and HARQ configurations used after this feature is enabled.
NOTE
After this feature is enabled, the eNodeB automatically adjusts the configurations, requiring no manual
intervention.

In addition to parameter optimization, the eNodeB also optimizes TBS selection based on the
volume of VoLTE data to be scheduled, which decreases the Uu-interface packet loss rate and
improves uplink voice quality.
The MCS index is decreased for SR scheduling of voice services but not for SR
scheduling of data services.

For details, see the descriptions about the RSRP upper limit in closed-loop power control for
the PUSCH in Power Control Feature Parameter Description.
In heavy-load scenarios, if voice and data services use the same PUSCH RSRP upper limit,
UEs' transmit power cannot reach the maximum. To resolve this, the PUSCH RSRP upper
limit of voice services is increased to a value equal to that of data services plus an offset. The
offset is specified by CellPcAlgo.PuschRsrpHighThdOffsetVoIP.
NOTE
NOTE
For details on the SRI period adaption function for heavy SRI loads and high SRI loads, see Physical
Channel Resource Management Feature Parameter Description.
When the voice-based SRI period adaption optimization function is enabled, the SRI period of
QCI 1 services can be extended to only 20 ms and the SRI period of data services remains
unchanged only if the number of voice users is less than 40 in a heavy-load cell.
The voice-based SRI period adaption optimization function is controlled by the
SriPeriodOptForVoipSW option of the CellPucchAlgo.SriAlgoSwitch parameter.
packet loss. Figure 4-13 shows the situation before uplink compensation scheduling is
enabled.
Uplink compensation scheduling is a technique in which the eNodeB identifies voice users
and, for each voice user, measures the duration in which the user is not scheduled in the
uplink. If the duration reaches a threshold, the eNodeB sends a UL Grant to the UE to ensure
that uplink voice packets can be transmitted in time. In this way, this feature shortens the
voice packet wait delay and reduces the number of packets discarded because of the expiry of
the PDCP Discard Timer. Figure 4-14 shows the situation after uplink compensation
scheduling is enabled.
There is a delay in the determination of talk spurts and silent periods. Therefore, uplink
compensation scheduling cannot be triggered in time during the transition from silent periods
to talk spurts and during initial access. Shortening the determination delay on voice service
states in the uplink decreases the probability of the voice service state being incorrectly
determined as in the silent period. This helps trigger uplink compensation scheduling in time.
This in turn shortens the voice packet wait delay, decreases the voice packet loss in the uplink,
and improves the voice quality, especially the voice quality during initial accesses and
handovers. This function is specified by the UlVoipServStateEnhancedSw option of the
CellUlschAlgo.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw parameter. Selecting this option increases the
probability of triggering uplink compensation scheduling during initial accesses and
handovers.
For details on the principles and engineering guidelines of adaptive modulation and coding
(AMC), mainly MCS selection for uplink dynamic scheduling, see Scheduling Feature
Parameter Description.
The eNodeB adjusts SINRs for UEs to be dynamically scheduled in the uplink based on the
configured uplink target IBLER and then preliminarily selects MCSs for the UEs.
To reduce the VoLTE packet loss rate and VoLTE packet delay, users can set different target
uplink initial block error rates (IBLERs) for voice, video, and data services.
NOTE
The parameters listed in Table 4-10 are applicable only when the IBLER target value adaption function
is disabled. For details on IBLER target value adaption, see Scheduling Feature Parameter Description.
4.3.4.1 Overview
The mo-VoiceCall-v1280 information element (IE) has been added to the RRC Connection
Request message, indicating a cause of RRC connection setup, in 3GPP Release 12. The
eNodeB identifies calling voice-service UEs based on this IE and performs differentiated
handling. Especially in heavy-load scenarios, the eNodeB identifies calling UEs during RRC
connection setup and takes measures to ensure voice quality, improving user experience.
On a heavy-load network, the eNodeB:
l Performs preallocation on VoLTE users regardless of the threshold of the user number
for preallocation activation
l Optimizes admission control and flow control
l Raises the preemption priority of the voice users
This allows preferential admission of VoLTE users over data-service users and increases the
success rate of VoLTE service setup.
4.3.4.2 Principles
The VoLTE User Prior Access feature is controlled by the
VoLTEMoPrefSwitch(VoLTEMoPrefSwitch) option of the CellAlgoSwitch.VoLTESwitch
parameter.
As shown in Figure 4-15, the eNodeB sends an SIB2 message carrying the VoLTE service
flag. After receiving the RRC Connection Request message, the eNodeB identifies a VoLTE
calling user based on the cause value.
After identifying a VoLTE calling UE, the eNodeB optimizes the following measures to
increase the call setup success rate and improve VoLTE UE performance:
l Preallocation
The eNodeB performs preallocation after sending Msg4. Preallocation takes effect even
if there are 50 or more voice service UEs.
l DRX
DRX does not take effect on the default bearer of each identified voice service UE. This
eliminates the impact of sleep time on the SIP messages carried on the QCI 5 bearer and
increases scheduling probability for the SIP messages. DRX does not take effect until the
QCI 1 bearer is set up.
l Admission and congestion control
The eNodeB increases the ARP of each identified VoLTE UE. This allows the VoLTE
UE to preempt the resources of low-ARP UEs when the number of UEs reaches the
maximum.
l Carrier aggregation (CA)
The eNodeB reduces the probability of performing CA on each identified VoLTE UE.
l Flow control
The eNodeB increases the priorities of identified VoLTE UEs in flow control over RRC
Connection Request messages, reducing the number of VoLTE UEs under flow control.
Preallocation, DRX, CA, and flow control are optimized by default. Optimization on
admission and congestion control is controlled by the CellRacThd.VolteArpOverride
parameter.
4.3.5.1 Overview
This section describes the preferential access of voice services function.
With this function, the eNodeB reserves UE resources for VoLTE UEs. When the number of
online UEs in a cell exceeds the difference between the maximum allowed number of UEs in
the cell and the reserved number of VoLTE UEs, VoLTE UEs use the reserved resources or
preempt data service resources to ensure their access. The eNodeB releases data service UEs
or redirects these UEs to inter-frequency or inter-RAT cells.
NOTE
Voice services refer to VoLTE services, but not CSFB or over the top (OTT) voice services.
4.3.5.2 UE Identification
For UEs that do not support the mo-VoiceCall-v1280 IE (introduced in 3GPP Release 12), the
eNodeB cannot identify service types during RRC connection setup. Currently, VoLTE UEs
can be identified only during E-RAB setup.
UEs that are allowed to use reserved VoLTE voice resources include new RRC connection
setup UEs, RRC connection reestablishment UEs, and intra-RAT incoming handover UEs.
After such UEs access the network, the timer specified by the
CellRacThd.VoltePrefAdmissionTimer parameter is started. If these UEs successfully set up
QCI 1 bearers before the timer expires, these UEs are regarded as VoLTE voice UEs.
Otherwise, they are regarded as data service UEs.
NOTE
The CellRacThd.VoltePrefAdmissionTimer timer starts only for new RRC connection setup UEs with
the RRC connection setup cause being Mobile Originating Data or Mobile Terminating Access.
– The eNodeB redirects newly accessed data service UEs to inter-frequency or inter-
RAT cells or directly releases them.
The ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RedirectSwitch parameter specifies whether the eNodeB redirects
or releases newly accessed data service UEs. It is recommended that inter-frequency or inter-
RAT redirection be used. If there is no inter-frequency or inter-RAT neighboring cell, the
eNodeB directly releases the newly accessed data service UEs.
NOTE
When the UE resources reserved for VoLTE services are used up, VoLTE UEs cannot preferentially
access the network.
Overview
As shown in Figure 4-16, DRX allows UEs to enter the sleep state when data is not
transmitted, saving UE power. DRX typically applies to services with consecutive small
packets that are transmitted periodically, such as voice services. According to 3GPP TS
23.203 and section A.2.1.4 "System performance metrics" in 3GPP TS 36.814, a 50 to 80 ms
delay budget is reserved for QCI 1 services over the Uu interface and the send interval for
voice frames is 20 ms. Therefore, considering the retransmission time, the DRX cycle must be
set to 20 ms or 40 ms. In this situation, setting the DRX cycle to a short value for voice
services does not provide much gain. Therefore, you are advised to disable the short DRX
cycle when configuring the DRX parameter for QCI 1 services.
Similar to the default bearer for a data service, the default bearer for a VoLTE service (that is,
the signaling bearer [QCI 5]) always exists as long as the UE is in RRC_CONNECTED
mode, regardless of whether the UE has a QCI 1 voice bearer. Therefore, it is recommended
that the DRX parameters for QCI 5 be set to the same values as those for a default bearer used
in a data service. In addition, as a long DRX cycle leads to a long delay for setting up a QCI 1
voice bearer, it is recommended that the long DRX cycle for QCI 5 be less than or equal to
320 ms to provide fast access experience for VoLTE users.
Enabling DRX for QCI 1 can reduce battery consumption on voice services, but at the same
time it affects voice quality, for example, the packet loss rate increases. For details, see DRX
and Signaling Control.
NOTE
False detection of the PDCCH may cause voice packet loss. Because of this, there is a low probability of
voice quality deterioration. Preallocation can be used to reduce the impact of false detection. For details on
how DRX works with preallocation, see DRX and Signaling Control.
l If this parameter is set to 0 or a value greater than 100, this function does not take effect.
l If this parameter is set to a value within the range [1,100], this function takes effect. In
this situation, the eNodeB detects the cell load every second and compares it with related
thresholds to determine the DRX policy for newly admitted voice service UEs.
– When the cell load is greater than or equal to the value of
eNBCellRsvdPara.RsvdU8Para18, newly admitted voice service UEs are
forbidden to enter DRX, reducing the impact of DRX on voice quality in heavy load
scenarios.
– When the cell load is less than Max(eNBCellRsvdPara.RsvdU8Para18 – 20, 0),
newly admitted voice service UEs are allowed to enter DRX.
– When the cell load is within the range [Max(eNBCellRsvdPara.RsvdU8Para18 –
20, 0), eNBCellRsvdPara.RsvdU8Para18), the DRX policy for newly admitted
voice service UEs is the same as that used in the previous detection period.
4.5.1 Overview
This section describes the mobility of voice services. It is recommended that coverage-based
intra-RAT and inter-RAT handovers for voice services be turned on by default. This ensures
the voice service continuity.
Voice and data service handovers are classified into intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and
inter-RAT handovers. Their handover procedures are the same. However, certain handover
parameters can be configured according to the QCI. When UEs set up bearers for different
QCIs during coverage-based, distance-based, or UL-quality-based handovers, the highest-
priority handover parameters are used. For details on handovers caused by other reasons, see
Intra-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description and
Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description. The
QCI priority is specified by the CellQciPara.QciPriorityForHo parameter. A smaller value
of this parameter indicates a higher priority. If the QCI priority configurations (indicated by
the CellQciPara.QciPriorityForHo parameter) are the same, the eNodeB selects handover
parameters for the UE depending on the QCI priority configurations in 3GPP specifications.
Handover parameters with high QCI priorities are used as the UE handover parameters. For
details, see section 6.1.7 "Standardized QoS characteristics" in 3GPP TS 23.203 V10.3.0.
NOTE
VoLTE is generally deployed in existing LTE networks, which are data networks. Mobility parameters in
existing LTE networks have been optimized constantly and can satisfy the KPI requirements of data services.
The QoS requirements differ depending on voice and data services. It is recommended that inter-frequency or
inter-RAT mobility parameters be separately configured for voice and data services. For data services, the
inter-frequency or inter-RAT mobility parameters optimized in the existing network are recommended. For
voice services, the default inter-frequency or inter-RAT mobility parameters are recommended. The preceding
recommendations minimize the impact on the KPIs of data services in future network optimization on VoLTE
services. For intra-frequency mobility, relative thresholds are used and can be separately configured for voice
and data services. However, separate configurations are not recommended.
Like the default bearer for a data service, the signaling bearer (QCI 5) for a VoLTE service always exists as
long as the UE is in RRC_CONNECTED mode. Therefore, mobility parameters for QCI 5 can be set to the
same values as those for the default bearer used in a data service.

SRVCC
With SRVCC, the eNodeB hands over voice services from the E-UTRAN to the CS domain of
the GERAN or UTRAN to ensure voice call continuity.
PS Handover
With PS handover, the eNodeB hands over voice services from the E-UTRAN to the PS
domain of the UTRAN to ensure voice call continuity.
If the UTRAN supports the IMS-based VoHSPA voice solution, voice services can be handed
over using inter-RAT PS handovers. In this situation, the mechanism of inter-RAT PS
handovers for voice services is the same as that for data services.
ANR
After LOFD-002001 Automatic Neighbor Relation (ANR) or LOFD-002002 Inter-RAT ANR
is enabled, the eNodeB filters out UEs performing VoLTE services while selecting UEs to
perform fast ANR measurement.
l The eNodeB does not select the UEs with QCI 1 bearers when selecting UEs that newly
access the network or are handed over to the cell.
l For UEs that are already selected for fast ANR measurement, the eNodeB uses a
measurement control policy depending on the value of the
GlobalProcSwitch.VoipWithGapMode parameter:
– When this parameter is set to ENABLE(Enable), the eNodeB does not delete the
fast ANR measurements if the QCI 1 bearer is set up for the UE. However,
continuous gap-assisted measurements may affect the voice quality of QCI 1
services.
– When this parameter is set to DISABLE(Disable), the eNodeB sends an RRC
Connection Reconfiguration message to delete fast ANR measurements if the UE
sets up a QCI 1 bearer.
l UEs read cell global identifications (CGIs) in sleep time during DRX. The sleep time
stops when a data packet arrives. This has an impact on the CGI reading success rate.
This success rate is even lower for VoIP services, which are scheduled at a fixed interval
and encounter a higher probability that the sleep time stops. After a CGI is acquired, the
identified cell is automatically configured as a neighboring cell.
NOTE
event-A4 measurement configurations to the selected UEs, instructing the UEs to measure
their serving frequencies and neighboring E-UTRAN frequencies. For UEs that are already
selected, the eNodeB uses a measurement control policy depending on the value of the
GlobalProcSwitch.VoipWithGapMode parameter:
l When this parameter is set to ENABLE(Enable), the eNodeB does not delete the
measurements if the QCI 1 bearer is set up for the UE. However, continuous gap-assisted
measurements may affect the voice quality of QCI 1 services.
l When this parameter is set to DISABLE(Disable), the eNodeB sends the RRC
Connection Reconfiguration message to delete the measurement configuration if the UE
sets up a QCI 1 bearer.
NOTE
Carrier Aggregation
l If VoLTE services are initiated for carrier aggregation (CA) UEs, VoLTE services can be
scheduled only on PCells.
l If the SccBlindCfgSwitch(SccBlindCfgSwitch) option of the
eNodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is deselected, UEs that have originated
VoLTE services are not selected for CA.
l If the SccBlindCfgSwitch(SccBlindCfgSwitch) option of the
eNodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is selected, UEs that have originated
VoLTE services can be selected for CA.
NOTE
AC Barring Skip
When AC barring skip is enabled, the access class control feature restricts the access of UEs
depending on their access causes and service types in congestion scenarios. This helps
increase the VoLTE access success rate.
For details, see Access Class Control Feature Parameter Description.

7 Network Impact
This chapter describes the impact of the VoLTE-related features on the network.
Network Performance
Uplink compensation scheduling can reduce the uplink packet loss rate when there is
interference on the PUCCH, shorten voice packet delays, and improve voice quality.
However, this feature increases RB and CCE overheads. When there are many voice users,
this feature also reduces cell throughput.
In addition, uplink compensation scheduling decreases the possibility that the uplink control
information of voice users is transmitted over the PUCCH and increases the possibility that
the uplink control information of voice users is transmitted over the PUSCH. This affects the
possibility that a PDSCH ACK/NACK is detected as a DTX and slightly increases the VoLTE
downlink packet loss rate (indicated by L.Traffic.DL.PktUuLoss.Loss.QCI.1/
L.Traffic.DL.PktUuLoss.Tot.QCI.1).
Network Performance
l This feature affects voice quality in the following aspects:
– If the CellUlschAlgo.SinrAdjTargetIblerforVoLTE parameter is set to a smaller
value, the MCS indexes selected for uplink voice services are smaller. For voice
users in the cell center, the uplink QCI 1 packet loss rate may slightly decrease and
voice quality almost remains unchanged. For voice users not in the cell center, the
number of uplink RLC segments increases and the uplink QCI 1 packet loss rate
may increase in the case of a heavy load; as a result, voice quality becomes worse
and voice capacity decreases.
– If the CellUlschAlgo.SinrAdjTargetIblerforVoLTE parameter is set to a larger
value, the MCS indexes selected for uplink voice services are larger. In the uplink,
the IBLER, RBLER, and QCI 1 packet loss rate increases, and voice quality
becomes worse. In the downlink, the QCI 1 packet loss rate also increases and voice
quality also becomes worse because the demodulation performance deteriorates for
ACKs/NACKs and channel status information transmitted on the PUSCH.
l This feature may also affect cell throughput and data service throughput.
If the CellUlschAlgo.SinrAdjTargetIblerforVoLTE parameter is set to a smaller value,
the MCS indexes selected for uplink voice services are smaller and the number of
consumed RBs increases. When there are many voice users, cell throughput decreases.
because the scheduling chances for UEs are discretely distributed or a few HARQ processes
are required for data services.
Network Performance
Fixed-position resource allocation is adopted after semi-persistent scheduling is activated.
Compared with dynamic scheduling, semi-persistent scheduling may increase the scheduling
wait time and voice service packet loss rate.
After optimized cooperation between semi-persistent scheduling and DRX is enabled, the
packet loss rate decreases and voice service quality improves for UEs with semi-persistent
scheduling applied.
Network Performance
TTI bundling has the following impact on network performance:
l TTI bundling increases the coverage of the PUSCH, improves the MCS index in uplink
weak-coverage areas, and reduces the packet loss rate. However, this feature increases
signaling overheads because the entry and exit of the TTI bundling state requires the
exchange of RRC messages. When the number of TTI bundling mode reconfiguration
messages (indicated by the counters L.Signal.Num.TtiBundling.Enter and
L.Signal.Num.TtiBundling.Exit) increases, the average board CPU usage (indicated by
the counter VS.BBUBoard.CPULoad.Mean (%)) slightly increases.
l A UE in the TTI bundling state uses a high MCS index. This increases the probability of
DTX for PDSCH HARQ feedback and increases downlink packet loss rate. In this
situation, you are advised to change the value of
CellUciOnPuschPara.DeltaOffsetAckIndexForTtiB from its default value 9 to 11 so
that downlink packet loss rate does not increase much.
l TTI bundling uses a maximum of three PRBs, a modulation scheme of QPSK, and an
MCS index no higher than 10. When TTI bundling is enabled, no more than 504 bits can
be transmitted within each TB, which restricts the uplink throughput of UEs in the TTI
bundling state. As signaling and voice services are given precedence over data on logical
channels, the UEs will preferentially transmit signaling and voice services, further
restricting the uplink throughput of data services.
l In Scenarios Where TTI Bundling is Recommended of 11.1.1 When to Use, the
uplink packet loss rate (L.Traffic.UL.FarUE.PktLoss.Loss.QCI.1/
L.Traffic.UL.FarUE.PktLoss.Tot.QCI.1) of UEs in weak coverage areas decreases by
5% to 20%.
When TTI bundling is enabled, setting CellTtiBundlingAlgo.R12TtiBundlingSwitch to ON
has the following impacts on network performance:
l The resource allocation size is no longer limited to three PRBs, and the highest MCS
index allowed is no longer 10. This enables flexible resource allocation and reduces the
possibility of limited uplink throughput for UEs in the TTI bundling state.
Network Performance
This feature reduces the residual block error rate (RBLER), number of uplink TBs
unsuccessfully transmitted during the initial transmission, number of retransmissions for
VoLTE UEs, and decreases the average packet loss rate for QCI 1 services in a cell by a
maximum of 20%.
In macro-macro and micro-micro scenarios, VoLTE coverage increases by 0 dB to 2 dB.
In macro-micro scenarios, VoLTE coverage increases by 0 dB to 3 dB.
If the original one-way transmission delay is short, this feature will produce a large gain. If
the original one-way transmission delay is longer than 8 ms, this feature cannot have a large
effect.
Network Performance
Uplink VoLTE volume estimation for dynamic scheduling shortens VoLTE service delays,
reduces the uplink packet loss rate, and improves voice quality when a cell is heavily loaded
and DRX is enabled. However, this function increases RB overheads and lowers MCS
indexes allocated to voice users. When there are many voice users, this function also reduces
cell throughput.
When the CellUlschAlgo.UlDelaySchStrategy parameter is set to VOIP_DELAYSCH(VoIP
Service Delay Scheduling) in heavy-load scenarios, the impacts on network performance are
as follows:
l Improves voice quality.
l Prolongs processing time, such as the E-RAB setup time, RRC connection setup time,
ping delay, time of transition from idle mode to connected mode, and attach delay.
l Slightly decreases cell throughput.
When the CellUlschAlgo.UlDelaySchStrategy parameter is set to
VOIP_AND_DATA_DELAYSCH(VoIP and Data Delay Scheduling), this feature has the
following impacts on network performance:
l Improves the voice quality and increases the ping delay and attach delay in heavy-load
cells.
l Increases the uplink throughput and uplink MCS index of data services when there is
small voice traffic volume.
l Increases the IBLER and RBLER in the uplink and downlink, and the number of out-of-
synchronization UEs in heavy-load cells. Data service UEs have a low priority.
Therefore, CEUs are not handed over to other cells in a timely manner. As a result, the
IBLER and RBLER increase in the uplink and downlink, and the UEs may even become
out of synchronization. Then, the number of RRC connection establishment requests and
the number of RRC connection reestablishments increase, but the RRC connection
reestablishment success rate decreases.
After independent configuration of the UE inactivity timer for VoLTE services is enabled, if
the priority of QCI 1 services specified by the QciPara.UeInactiveTimerPri parameter is the
highest, this feature has the following impacts on the network:
l If the QciPara.UeInactiveTimerForQci parameter corresponding to VoLTE services
with QCI 1 is less than that corresponding to VoLTE services with other QCIs and if
there is no uplink or downlink data transmission before the peer end answers the call,
both the online duration of VoLTE users and the voice call drop rate decrease.
l If the QciPara.UeInactiveTimerForQci parameter corresponding to VoLTE services
with QCI 1 is greater than that corresponding to VoLTE services with other QCIs, the
online duration of VoLTE users increases. As a result, the number of RRC connection
setup requests decreases, the number of normal releases decreases, and the voice call
drop rate increases.
After separate configuration of the PUSCH RSRP upper limit is enabled, the PUSCH RSRP
upper limit for voice service users increases. In heavy-load scenarios, the PUSCH transmit
power of UEs running voice services at the near and middle points of a cell increases and the
uplink voice performance improves as well. However, the interference to neighboring cells
also increases.
In DRX or gap-assisted measurement scenarios, uplink VoLTE continuous scheduling reduces
the packet delay and jitter of voice services, and improves voice quality, but increases the
PDCCH CCE and PUSCH RB overheads of voice services. When there are a large number of
voice service UEs, the cell throughput decreases.
The voice-based SRI period adaption optimization function decreases the uplink packet loss
rate of voice service users by 1% to 10% and may decrease the uplink throughput of data
service users by about 3% for heavy SRI loads.
Network Performance
Voice rate control has the following impact on network performance:
l When the uplink channel quality is favorable, using a high AMR coding rate increases
the MOS by 0.01 to 0.2 and using a high EVS coding rate increases the MOS by 0.2 to
0.5.
l When the uplink channel quality is unfavorable, using a low coding rate decreases the
uplink packet loss rate of CEUs and the percentage of single-UE MOSs less than 3
points both by 5% to 20% and increases the uplink voice coverage by 0.5 dB to 1 dB.
Uplink packet loss rate of CEUs = L.Traffic.UL.FarUE.PktLoss.Loss.QCI.1.Index0/
L.Traffic.UL.FarUE.PktLoss.Tot.QCI.1.Index0
l The impact on the traffic volume, throughput, and transmission delay varies depending
on scenarios:
– If the voice coding rates of most VoLTE services are increased, more PDCCH CCE
and RB resources will be consumed, slightly decreasing the traffic volume and
throughput of data services. This increases the transmission delay.
– If the voice coding rates of most VoLTE services are reduced, fewer PDCCH CCE
and RB resources will be consumed, slightly increasing the traffic volume and
throughput of data services. This decreases the transmission delay.
Network Performance
This feature has the following impact on network performance:
l UEs initiating VoLTE calls in weak-coverage areas fall back to the CS domain to process
voice services. This prevents call drops caused when the UE or core network does not
support bSRVCC, thereby reducing the call drop rate and improving voice user
experience.
l QCI 1 bearer setup requests from weak-coverage areas are rejected, decreasing the QCI 1
bearer setup success rate.
With the voice-quality-based inter-frequency handover function, the eNodeB identifies UEs
suffering from poor voice quality and hands over them to another frequency. This improves
voice user experience, decreases the packet loss rate of VoLTE services, and increases the
percentage of LTE UEs on the LTE network. However, if the target cell experiences strong
interference, the voice user experience may decrease.
Network Performance
When QCI 1 bearers are being set up, this feature increases the length of the PDCP-layer
discard timer, the maximum times of uplink HARQ retransmissions, and the length of the
eNodeB-specific timer for reordering at the receiver in AM/UM. If the uplink channel quality
is poor:
Network Performance
If the user number capacity is limited, the identified VoLTE UEs can preempt the resources of
low-ARP UEs, increasing the call setup success rate and the service drop rate of low-ARP
UEs whose resources are preempted by VoLTE UEs.
The eNodeB increases the priorities of identified VoLTE users in flow control over Initial
Access Request Control messages, reducing the number of VoLTE users under flow control
and increasing the call setup success rate.
The restriction that the number of UEs must not exceed 50 is canceled for identified MO
VoLTE UEs. That is, preallocation also takes effect even if the UE number exceeds 50. This
reduces the scheduling wait time of the SIP message and increases the uplink PUSCH RB
usage.
The identified VoLTE user does not use DRX on the default bearer. This prevents the
scheduling delay of the SIP message over the Uu interface due to the DRX sleep time. If the
QCI 1 bearer is set up after the called user responds, considering delayed DRX configuration,
the UE enters the DRX state late and consequently consumes more power.
Network Performance
Uplink RLC segmentation enhancement can increase the mean opinion score (MOS) of
VoLTE users when the following conditions are met:
Uplink RLC segmentation enhancement simultaneously raises the uplink MCS index, IBLER
and residual BLER (RBLER).
Data service UEs cannot use reserved UE resources. If no follow-up VoLTE UEs access the
network, reserved resources may be wasted, thereby reducing the system capacity.
Network Performance
The network impact of enabling the preferential access of voice services function is as
follows:
Network Performance
When PUSCH RB reservation for voice UEs is enabled in heavy-traffic scenarios, the
network impact is as follows:
l When VoLTE voice UEs use reserved RBs, the RBs allocated for VoLTE voice UEs do
not overlap those allocated for data service UEs. This reduces the interference of data
service UEs on VoLTE voice UEs, thereby decreasing the uplink packet loss rate of
VoLTE voice UEs.
l The KPIs of data service UEs may deteriorate. The number of reserved RB resources is
directly proportional to the impact on data service UEs.
l Packet Delay Budget indicates the threshold for the delay between the UE and PDN
gateway (P-GW). The corresponding user satisfaction rate is 98%.
l Packet Error Loss Rate indicates the threshold for the proportion of SDUs that are not
successfully sent from the data link layer of the transmission end to the corresponding
upper layer of the receive end.
The packet delay budget, uplink and downlink Uu interface packet loss rates, and downlink
PDCP packet loss rate of QCI 1 services can be measured using counters. For details on
related counters, see 9.4.2 Voice QoS.
VQM Principles
Figure 8-1 shows the VQM implementation process.
1. The eNodeB monitors the voice coding rate and the frame error rate (FER) of voice
packets. When detecting that the delay variation for voice packets with QCI 1 exceeds
the VQMALGO.ULDelayJitter parameter value, the eNodeB determines that packet
loss occurs.
2. The eNodeB inputs the monitoring results to the Huawei proprietary VQI model and
estimates the VQI values at intervals specified by VQMAlgo.VQMAlgoPeriod. The VQI
model is based on the MOS specified in ITU-T P.863 and simulates an MOS using
mathematical formulas.
3. The VQI values are saved in call history records (CHRs) and are used to collect the
statistics of cell-level voice quality counters and monitor user-level performance.
NOTE
Both the voice quality monitoring results (including statistics about cell-level voice quality
counters and user-level performance monitoring results) and CHRs do not contain users' private
information.
VQI is a P.863 standard-based estimation method using mathematical formulas fitting. The MOS
is obtained through objective evaluation using dedicated instruments. The MOS is affected by
factors such as test equipment, UE codec mechanism, and jitter buffer algorithm and may fluctuate
greatly. VQI calculation is not affected by UE factors. VQI and MOS have different principles and
measurement scopes, and therefore they are different.
Application Limitations
The VQM algorithm supports the following speech codec schemes: AMR-NB, AMR-WB,
EVS-WB primary mode (5.9 kbit/s to 24.4 kbit/s), and EVS-SWB primary mode (9.6 kbit/s to
24.4 kbit/s).
VQM does not apply to the following scenarios because the eNodeB cannot identify the voice
coding rates of UEs:
l In scenarios where the eNodeB cannot parse the SIP messages for voice services (see
3.6.3 Parsing-Limited Scenarios for details), the eNodeB determines whether AMR or
EVS is used based on the first SID frame size.
– VQIs are not measured for EVS calls.
– VQIs are not measured for unidentified speech codec schemes.
l When the UE is handed over, the source cell does not provide the rate set information to
the target cell. In this case, VQIs are not measured for EVS calls.
l If a 13.2 kbit/s coding rate is adjusted between the CAM mode and the non-CAM mode,
VQIs cannot be differentiated and are measured based on the initial coding rate.
The measurement results of the VQM algorithm used in SIP encryption scenarios may be
inaccurate because voice packets without conversation contents (for example, packets
carrying ring back tone services) are also included in the QCI 1 measurement. As a result,
values of counters related to poor voice quality and mute voice increase.
NOTE
The E-UTRAN supports VoLTE after the IMS is deployed. However, VoLTE is inappropriate
for the following scenarios:
To prevent UEs from initiating voice services in VoLTE-prohibited areas and prevent voice
service UEs from being handed over to VoLTE-prohibited areas, it is recommended that you
set the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch parameter, the
VoipHoControlSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter, the
EutranInterNFreq.VolteHoTargetInd parameter, and the VoLTEOffOptSwitch option of
the CellAlgoSwitch.VoLTESwitch parameter. For detailed configurations, see 3.2.2 VoLTE-
Prohibited Scenarios.
NOTE
If the MME supports the UE Radio Capability Match REQUEST and UE Radio Capability
Match RESPONSE messages introduced in 3GPP Release 11, it is recommended that the
SupportS1UeCapMatchMsg option of the GlobalProcSwitch.ProtocolSupportSwitch
parameter be selected on the eNodeB side. By doing this, the MME considers the VoLTE
mobility capability of the UE during the voice policy negotiation. In this manner, UEs that do
not support SRVCC do not adopt VoLTE as the voice policy, thereby ensuring voice
continuity.

Semi-Persistent Scheduling
This feature is recommended to save CCE resources in a cell that meets the following
conditions:
l L.Traffic.User.VoIP.Avg ≥ 10
l PDCCH CCE usage > 70%
PDCCH CCE usage = (L.ChMeas.CCE.CommUsed + L.ChMeas.CCE.ULUsed +
L.ChMeas.CCE.DLUsed)/L.ChMeas.CCE.Avail
Semi-persistent scheduling uses fixed MCS and PRBs to transmit data during talk spurts
instead of updating MCS and PRBs at each TTI. This brings gains and reduces required
PDCCH resources. Therefore, semi-persistent scheduling is recommended in scenarios with
low-speed UEs or where channel conditions change slowly. In high-speed or ultra-high-speed
cells, UEs move fast and channel conditions change significantly. Therefore, semi-persistent
scheduling is not recommended in such scenarios.
Cells working at a bandwidth of 1.4 MHz have only six PRBs. When the UE uses semi-
persistent scheduling, the highest MCS index is 15. This means that cell center users (CCUs)
and users near the cell center consume more PRBs, which wastes PRB resources. Therefore,
uplink and downlink semi-persistent scheduling and power control in uplink and downlink
semi-persistent scheduling are not recommended in cells working at a 1.4 MHz bandwidth.

Step 2 After a UE accesses the cell, enable the UE to perform uplink voice services.

3. Check the MCS-specific scheduling statistics, as shown in Figure 10-1. If the uplink

Network Planning
It is recommended that intra-frequency cells served by RRUs installed on the same pole or
tower be bound to BBPs in the same connection set.
This feature requires that inter-BBU cells be routed to each other over the eX2 interface. For
details, see eX2 Self-Management Feature Parameter Description.
Hardware Planning
To ensure UL CoMP performance, it is recommended that the ISD do not exceed 1000 m.
ISD in UL CoMP refers to the distance between the RF modules of the serving and
cooperating cells.

11.3.4.1 Requirements
Other Features
See 6.5 LOFD-081219 Inter-eNodeB VoLTE CoMP.
Hardware
The capabilities of cells to support UL CoMP are related to BBP models and receive antenna
configurations:
License
Operators have purchased and activated the licenses listed in the following table.
Other Requirements
This feature is implemented based on transmission through an IP RAN. If the transmission
delay is too long, cooperating cell data will arrive at the RLC layer too late and the data may
fail to be confirmed. Therefore, it is recommended that the RlcPdcpParaGroup.UlRlcSnSize
parameter be set to RlcSnSize_size10.
IP PM sessions of forward activation type are recommended for delay detection. eNodeBs
automatically create IP PM sessions to detect eX2 link status. Therefore, configuring an IP
PM session of bidirectional activation at either end of an eX2 interface needs to be avoided.
This is because an IP PM session of bidirectional activation type may conflict with an
automatically created session. If this is the case, the eX2 interface will fail to work properly.
11.3.4.2 Precautions
When the BBP is restarted or reset, the cells are reestablished. In this case, the binding
relationships between cells and BBPs may change and the performance of UL CoMP may be
affected.
Required Data
The following table describes the parameters that must be set in an ENodeBAlgoSwitch MO
to configure the switch for the inter-BBU coordination algorithm.

MOD CELLULSCHALGO: LocalCellId=0, UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum=0;
Step 2 After the UE that does not support TTI bundling accesses the cell, enable the UE to perform

Step 3 Start a task on the U2000 client to monitor MCS-specific scheduling statistics.
1. Choose Monitor > Signaling Trace > Signaling Trace Management.
2. In the left navigation tree in the Signaling Trace Management tab page, choose User
Performance Monitoring > MCS Count Monitoring. Set the monitoring duration, to-
be-traced MMEc (MME ID), and mTMSI (UE TMSI).
3. Observe MCS-specific uplink scheduling statistics, including the number of scheduling
times and the number of RBs. Enable the UE to be far from the eNodeB until the MCS
index for uplink scheduling is equal to 0 and the number of RBs for uplink scheduling is
less than or equal to 3, which indicates that the UE enters an area with poor channel
quality.
Step 4 Run the MOD CELLULSCHALGO command with Max Number of UL RLC Segments
for VoIP set to a value other than 0.
NOTE
To ensure satisfactory voice quality, you are advised to set the Max Number of UL RLC Segments for
VoIP parameter to its recommended value. However, to facilitate this verification, you can set this
parameter to a smaller non-zero value so that the selected MCS index increases noticeably.
Step 5 On the U2000 client, observe the MCS-specific uplink scheduling statistics. If the MCS index
is greater than 0 but the number of RBs is still less than or equal to 3, the eNodeB has
increased the MCS index to restrict the number of UL RLC segments. (The smaller the value
of Max Number of UL RLC Segments for VoIP, the higher the MCS index.)
Step 6 On a live network, you can also check the uplink voice packet loss rate and the proportion of
uplink low-index MCSs (for example, MCS index 0 or 1) for the PUSCH. If both of them
decrease, RLC segmentation enhancement has taken effect.

service UEs:
– Counters related to the average interference and noise, that is,
L.UL.Interference.Avg.PRB0 through L.UL.Interference.Avg.PRB99
The average interference and noise inside the reserved RBs is obviously lower than
that outside the reserved RBs.
– Uplink QCI 1 packet loss rate on the Uu interface =
L.Traffic.UL.PktLoss.Loss.QCI.1/L.Traffic.UL.PktLoss.Tot.QCI.1

A TDLOF this parameter indicates whether to preferentially
Smart schedule downlink data for UEs running voice
LST D-00110 DRX
CELLD 501 services during the On Duration period in the DRX
RXPAR state. For LTE TDD, if this switch is turned off, there
TDLBF is a high probability of falsely detected SRs when UEs
A D-07011 are in the DRX state. If this switch is turned on, there
2 is a low probability of falsely detected SRs in the
DRX state, and UEs enter active state only after
falsely detected SRs are confirmed, which reduces the
impact of falsely detected SRs. It is recommended that
the PuschDtxSwitch check box under the
UlSchSwitch parameter is selected when this switch is
turned on. For LTE FDD, if this parameter is set to
ON(On), the eNodeB avoids scheduling downlink
data of UEs running voice services during the SR
pending period in the DRX state, and preferentially
schedules such data during the On Duration period.
This lowers the impact of SR false alarms on voice
quality. If this parameter is set to OFF(Off), the
eNodeB schedules downlink data of UEs running
voice services in active time in the DRX state. This

LSCHA D-00101 ng order of average signal to interference plus noise ratio
LGO 5 (SINR). The PF policy schedules UEs in ascending
Enhance order of ratio of the data rate to the average SINR.

D-00101 UE is calculated based on the following factors: the
502 data rate, average SINR, QoS-satisfying data rate for
each service, and service differentiation requirements
of the UE. The MAX C/I, PF, and RR policies are

LGO TDLBF scheduling policy is the fairest scheduling policy.
Dynami When RR is adopted, the system capacity is the

Scheduli upper bound of the scheduling fairness in the system.
LBFD-0 ng In terms of the scheduling effect, the PF scheduling
0101502 policy is between the previous two policies.
