VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview

2 Overview

2.1 Background
Three LTE voice solutions are available.

Voice Solution Based on Dual-Standby UEs


A dual-standby UE is capable of receiving or sending signals in evolved universal terrestrial
radio access networks (E-UTRAN) and GSM/EDGE radio access networks or universal
terrestrial radio access networks (GERAN/UTRAN) simultaneously. Dual-standby UEs
automatically select GERAN/UTRAN to perform voice services and select E-UTRAN to
perform data services. Essentially, the E-UTRAN provides dual-standby UEs with only data
services.

Voice Solution Based on CSFB


In the initial phase of LTE network deployment, circuit switched fallback (CSFB) is an
interim solution providing voice services for LTE users if the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS)
is not yet deployed. Figure 2-1 shows the voice solution based on CSFB.

Figure 2-1 Voice solution based on CSFB

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 17


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview

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.

Voice Solution Based on IMS


The Voice over LTE (VoLTE) solution is used in the mature stage of the LTE network when
the IMS is deployed, as shown in Figure 2-2. With this solution, UEs can directly perform
voice services in an LTE network.
When LTE coverage is not complete, UEs may move out of LTE coverage and their voice
services may be discontinued. Huawei uses the following methods to ensure voice service
continuity:
l If the PS domain of the UTRAN/GERAN does not support VoIP services, VoIP services
are handed over to the CS domain of the UTRAN/GERAN through single radio voice
call continuity (SRVCC).
For details on SRVCC, see SRVCC Feature Parameter Description.
l If the PS domain of the UTRAN/GERAN supports VoIP services, VoIP services are
handed over to the UTRAN/GERAN through PS handovers.
For details on PS handovers, see Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode
Feature Parameter Description.

Figure 2-2 Voice solution based on IMS

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,

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:

l Higher spectral efficiency


l Better user experience, such as lower access delay and better voice quality

2.4 Architecture

3 Basic VoLTE Functions

VoLTE is enabled by using the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch parameter.


When this parameter is set to ON, the eNodeB supports VoLTE and allows establishment,
access, incoming handover, and reestablishment of the dedicated QCI 1 bearer.

3.1 Speech Codec Scheme and Traffic Model

3.1.1 Speech Codec Scheme


VoLTE uses Adaptive Multi-rate (AMR) or enhanced voice services (EVS) speech codec
schemes.

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.

3.1.2 Speech Traffic Model


Figure 3-1 illustrates the speech traffic model when either AMR or EVS is used. The AMR or
EVS speech codec scheme to use is negotiated between the UEs and the IMS.

Figure 3-1 Speech traffic model

There are two states of voice services:


l Talk spurts
During talk spurts, UEs transmit voice packets in the uplink or receive voice packets in
the downlink. Voice packets are transmitted at 20 ms intervals, and the packet size is
determined by the voice coding rate.
l Silent periods
During silent periods, UEs transmit silence insertion descriptor (SID) frames in the
uplink or receive SID frames in the downlink. SID frames are transmitted at an interval
of 160 ms. The SID frame sizes are fixed to 56 bits for AMR voice coding rates and 64
bits for EVS voice coding rates.
The eNodeB distinguishes between talk spurts and silent periods based on the following
differences:
l The size of voice frames is greater than the size of SID frames.
l The interval between consecutive voice frames is different from the interval between
consecutive SID frames.

3.2 VoLTE Voice Policy Selection


UE capability and data configurations on the MME determine whether a UE uses VoLTE.
However, VoLTE may be inappropriate for certain sites or regions. This case is termed a
VoLTE-prohibited scenario.
This section describes voice policy selection for UEs in common scenarios and VoLTE-
prohibited scenarios.

3.2.1 Common Scenarios

3.2.1.1 General Principles for Voice Policy Selection


During attach or a tracking area update (TAU), the MME selects a voice policy based on the
UE capability and data configurations on the MME side. The MME then sends the UE the
voice policy using the Attach Accept or TAU Accept message. The MME selects a voice
policy based on the following principles:
l If the UE supports CSFB only, the MME selects CS Voice only (that is, CSFB).
l If the UE supports VoLTE only, the MME selects IMS PS Voice only (that is, VoLTE).
l If the UE supports both CSFB and VoLTE, the voice policy used before negotiation with
the MME is one of the following voice policies, which is specified by operators during
UE registration:
– CS Voice only
CSFB is selected.
– IMS PS Voice only
VoLTE is selected.
– Prefer CS Voice with IMS PS Voice as secondary
CSFB takes precedence over VoLTE.
For details on the procedures for voice policy negotiation between the UE and
MME when this policy is used, see Annex A.2 in 3GPP TS 23.221 V9.4.0.
– Prefer IMS PS Voice with CS Voice as secondary
VoLTE takes precedence over CSFB.
Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3 show the procedures for voice policy negotiation
between the UE and MME when this policy is used. If no voice policy is selected
for the UE, the UE camps on the current network, which is data-centric, or performs
cell reselection to a GSM/UMTS network, which is voice-centric. For more details
on the negotiation, see Annex A.2 in 3GPP TS 23.221 V9.4.0.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 3 Basic VoLTE Functions

3.2.1.2 VoLTE Mobility Capability Decision


The signaling procedure is shown in Figure 3-4.

Figure 3-4 Signaling procedure for deciding VoLTE mobility capabilities

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.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 26


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 3 Basic VoLTE Functions

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.

3.2.2 VoLTE-Prohibited Scenarios


The E-UTRAN supports VoLTE after the IMS is deployed. However, in some scenarios,
VoLTE is prohibited and a non-VoLTE solution (such as CSFB) must be used.

3.2.2.1 Excessively Large End-to-End Delay

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.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 27


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 3 Basic VoLTE Functions

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.

The following is an example.


The mobile country code (MCC) and mobile network code (MNC) of a network are 001 and
02, respectively. In this network, the TA with tracking area code (TAC) 1 involves eNodeB A,
and the other TAs involve eNodeBs B to Z. CSFB is to be used in the TA with TAC 1, and
VoLTE is to be used in other TAs.
The configurations are as follows:
1. On the MME, configure CSFB as the voice policy for the TA with TAC 1.
2. On eNodeBs B to Z, run the following command:
MOD ENODEBALGOSWITCH:EutranVoipSupportSwitch=ON;

3. On eNodeBs B to Z, run the following command:


MOD ENODEBALGOSWITCH: HoAlgoSwitch =VoipHoControlSwitch-1;

4. On eNodeBs B to Z, run the following command:


ADD EUTRANVOIPHOBLKLIST: Mcc="001", Mnc="02", Tac=1;

In the preceding VoLTE-prohibited scenarios, when a UE performing VoLTE services triggers


an intra-RAT intra-frequency or inter-frequency handover, the eNodeB determines whether to
filter out cells in the VoLTE handover blacklist (specified by the EutranVoipHoBlkList MO)
depending on the settings of the VoipHoControlSwitch option in the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter.
According to current 3GPP specifications, voice policies can be configured only on a per TA
basis on the MME. The ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch parameter and the
VoipHoControlSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter are

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.

3.2.2.2 Voice Services Prohibited in Certain Frequency Bands

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.

3.2.2.3 Voice Services Prohibited on Certain Frequencies

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.

3.3 Radio Bearer Management

3.3.1 Radio Bearer Setup


On the eNodeB side, voice service setup includes RRC connection setup, QCI 5 radio bearer
setup, and QCI 1 radio bearer setup. Figure 3-6 shows the process of setting up a voice
session between two UEs.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 29


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 3 Basic VoLTE Functions

Figure 3-6 Voice service setup process

The voice service setup process is as follows:


1. An RRC connection is set up on the air interface between each UE and its serving
eNodeB. This allows the UE to send service requests and data packets to upper-layer
NEs.
2. An EPS bearer (with QCI 5, which is a radio bearer for the voice service) is set up for
signaling exchange between each UE and the IMS. If VoLTE is determined as the voice
solution for any UE according to the negotiation with the MME, a default radio bearer
with QCI 5 is set up by default when the UE enters RRC_CONNECTED mode,
regardless of whether the UE is accessing voice services or not.
3. After the QCI 5 bearer is set up, the UE and the IMS perform Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP) negotiation on the speech codec scheme, IP address, port number, called UE's
information, and other information.
4. In the EPS bearer (QCI 1 bearer) establishment procedure, a QCI 1 radio bearer is set up
to carry voice packets.
If the UE initiates conversational video services, a QCI 2 radio bearer is also set up.
If ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch is set to OFF, the eNodeB cannot set up
QCI 1 radio bearers, but can still set up QCI 5 radio bearers. The eNodeB sends the EPC a
message containing the cause value "Not supported QCI Value". In this situation, the radio
bearers in the same request messages as the QCI 1 bearers may or may not be set up,

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 3 Basic VoLTE Functions

depending on the VoLTEOffOptSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.VoLTESwitch


parameter:
l When this option is deselected, radio bearers in the same E-RAB setup message as the
QCI 1 bearer cannot be set up. The eNodeB sends the EPC a message containing the
cause value "Not supported QCI Value".
l When this option is selected, in the initial context setup, E-RAB setup, and E-RAB
modification procedures, the eNodeB rejects QCI 1 bearers, as well as QCI 2 bearers (if
any) in the same messages, but it accepts other bearers. (QCI 2 bearers are used for
conversational video services.)
The eNodeB supports the following QCI 1-specific timer settings:
l ENodeBConnStateTimer.S1MsgWaitingTimerQci1
l ENodeBConnStateTimer.X2MessageWaitingTimerQci1
l ENodeBConnStateTimer.UuMessageWaitingTimerQci1
l RrcConnStateTimer.UeInactiveTimerQci1
l CellQciPara.TrafficRelDelay
For details on these parameters, see Connection Management.
The CellHoParaCfg.HoMrDelayTimerQci1 parameter defines a timer for delaying handover
measurement report (MR) processing after QCI 1 services are set up. When a QCI 1 bearer is
successfully set up, the eNodeB returns an E-RAB Setup Response message and starts this
timer. The eNodeB does not process inter-eNodeB handover MRs until the timer stops. The
eNodeB stops the timer when it receives an uplink direct transfer message or the timer
expires. This timer ensures that the uplink direct transfer message for a dedicated bearer can
be successfully sent to the EPC. It prevents the EPC from releasing the voice bearer due to not
receiving a NAS response message.
The eNodeB can start the timer for delaying SRVCC MR processing, which is controlled by
the CellHoParaCfg.SrvccMrDelayTimer parameter, after the QCI 1 bearer for a voice
service is set up. If SRVCC has been enabled but UEs and EPC do not support single radio
voice call continuity before ringing (bSRVCC), you are advised to enable the function of
delaying SRVCC MR processing. With this function, the eNodeB does not process inter-RAT
SRVCC MRs until this timer expires or it detects an SIP 180Ringing message, preventing call
drops when the UE and EPC do not support bSRVCC. The
CellHoParaCfg.RingingMsgCheckSw parameter specifies whether to allow the eNodeB to
detect SIP 180Ringing messages. You are advised to set this parameter to OFF if SIP
signaling is encrypted, because these messages cannot be detected in this situation.

3.3.2 Radio Bearer QoS Management


Radio bearer QoS management for voice services complies with the Policy and Charging
Control (PCC) architecture defined in 3GPP specifications.
Figure 3-7 shows the radio bearer QoS management architecture for voice services.

eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 3 Basic VoLTE Functions

Figure 3-7 Radio bearer QoS management architecture

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

A smaller priority value indicates a higher priority.


QoS parameters for QCIs 1, 2, and 5 are set in the QciPara MO. The Radio Link Control
(RLC) modes for setting up conversational voice, conversational video, and IMS
signaling E-RABs are specified by the RlcPdcpParaGroup.RlcMode parameter.
For details on QCIs and RLC modes, see QoS Management Feature Parameter
Description.

3.4 Admission and Congestion Control

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.

3.4.2 Load Monitoring


Load monitoring provides decision references for admission and congestion control. The
eNodeB monitors various resources in a cell to obtain, for example, the usage of physical
resource blocks (PRBs), QoS satisfaction rates of GBR services, and resource insufficiency
indicators. This way, the eNodeB can know the cell status.

Conversational Voice (QCI 1)


For details about the method of calculating the QoS satisfaction rate of QCI 1 services, see
Admission and Congestion Control.

IMS Signaling (QCI 5)


QCI 5 indicates non-GBR services, and their QoS satisfaction rates do not need to be
calculated.

3.4.3 Admission Control


Admission control determines whether to admit a GBR service (new service or handover
service) based on the cell load reported by the load monitoring module. The cell load is
represented by the following: PRB usage, QoS satisfaction rates of GBR services, and
resource insufficiency indicators. For details, see Admission and Congestion Control.

eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 3 Basic VoLTE Functions

Conversational Voice (QCI 1)


Admission control over GBR services with QCI 1 is performed based on load.

IMS Signaling (QCI 5)


Admission control for non-GBR services (QCI 5) is not performed based on load. If SRS and
PUCCH resources are successfully allocated, non-GBR services (QCI 5) are directly
admitted.

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.

3.4.4 Congestion Control


If the network is congested, the eNodeB preferentially releases low-priority GBR services to
free up resources for other services, whose QoS requirements can therefore be fulfilled. For
details, see Admission and Congestion Control.

Conversational Voice (QCI 1)


The eNodeB evaluates load status by monitoring PRB usage and the QoS satisfaction rate. If
the eNodeB determines that a cell is congested, the eNodeB rejects service access requests
and triggers congestion control to decrease the load. The congestion threshold for QCI 1
services is specified by the CellRacThd.Qci1CongThd parameter. For details on how to set
this parameter, see Admission and Congestion Control.

IMS Signaling (QCI 5)


Congestion control is not performed for non-GBR services with QCI 5.

3.5 Dynamic Scheduling and Power Control

3.5.1 Dynamic Scheduling


This section describes how the optional feature LBFD-00101502 Dynamic Scheduling works
for VoLTE. For more details on the principles and engineering guidelines of dynamic
scheduling, see Scheduling Feature Parameter Description.
Voice services have demanding requirements on the delay. Therefore, the scheduler optimizes
the handling of voice service priorities to ensure voice service QoS. When VoLTE is
deployed, it is recommended that you use the enhanced proportional fair (EPF) scheduling
policy in both the uplink and downlink:
l For the uplink, set the CellUlschAlgo.UlschStrategy parameter to
ULSCH_STRATEGY_EPF.
l For the downlink, set the CellDlschAlgo.DlschStrategy parameter to
DLSCH_PRI_TYPE_EPF.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 34


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 3 Basic VoLTE Functions

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.

3.5.1.1 Uplink Dynamic Scheduling


When uplink dynamic scheduling uses the EPF algorithm, the priority of conversational voice
(QCI 1) is

l Lower than the priorities of the following:


– Data retransmitted using HARQ
– Signaling radio bearer 1 (SRB1)
– SRB2
– IMS signaling (QCI 5)
– Public safety control signaling (QCI 69)
– Public safety voice services (QCI 65)
l Higher than the priorities of other initially transmitted data

RB Number Increase for Initial Retransmission


When dynamic 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. Selecting this
option reduces the voice packet loss rate and improves voice user experience. If this option is
selected for a cell, the eNodeB determines whether to use adaptive retransmission for
prioritized RBs from the first uplink retransmission onwards. The determination is based on
the transmit power of voice-service UEs.

NOTE

After the FIRST_RETRANS_EXPN_RB_SWITCH option of the


CELLULSCHALGO.UlVoLTERetransSchStrategy parameter is selected, adaptive retransmission for
prioritized RBs is used from the first retransmission onwards including the last two retransmissions even
if the UlLast2RetransSchOptSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.UlSchSwitch parameter is
deselected. For details on UlLast2RetransSchOptSwitch, see Scheduling Feature Parameter
Description.

Uplink Voice Preallocation


Uplink voice preallocation reduces the delay of voice services. When the number of UEs in a
cell exceeds 50, the eNodeB can preallocate available uplink resources to only UEs
performing voice services. When the number of UEs in a cell is less than or equal to 50, the
eNodeB retains the existing uplink preallocation or uplink smart preallocation mechanism for
all UEs. For details, see Scheduling Feature Parameter Description. Uplink voice
preallocation is controlled by the UlVoipPreAllocationSwitch option of the
CellUlschAlgo.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw parameter.

3.5.1.2 Downlink Dynamic Scheduling

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.

MCS Selection Policy


When dynamic scheduling is used, the MCS selection policy depends on the setting of the
VoipTbsBasedMcsSelSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.DlSchSwitch parameter:
l When this option is selected, the eNodeB determines whether to apply the TBS-based
MCS selection function to voice services based on the number of online VoLTE
subscribers and the IBLER. If the function takes effect on voice services, the eNodeB
selects a relatively low-index MCS based on the packet size during a voice call while
ensuring that the number of RBs remains unchanged. In this way, HARQ retransmission
and user delay are reduced.
l When this option is deselected, the eNodeB determines the MCS for voice services based
on the downlink CQI adjustment algorithm. For details on the downlink CQI adjustment
algorithm, see Scheduling Feature Parameter Description.

Optimized TBS Index Adjustment for Downlink Retransmissions


When dynamic scheduling is used for voice services, it is recommended that the
DlRetxTbsIndexAdjOptSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.CqiAdjAlgoSwitch parameter
be selected. This reduces the voice packet loss rate and improves voice user experience. For
details on this option, see Scheduling Feature Parameter Description.

Optimized MCS Selection for Downlink Voice Services


This function is enabled by selecting the DLDeltaCqiOptSwitch option of the
CellCqiAdjAlgo.DlVolteCqiAdjOptSw parameter. It limits the downlink CQI adjustment
value of voice services. The CQI adjustment value decreases by the value of
CellCqiAdjAlgo.VolteNackDeltaCqi each time the eNodeB receives a negative
acknowledgment (NACK) as downlink HARQ feedback from a voice service UE during talk
spurts. This way, the downlink MCS index and the packet loss rate of voice services decrease,
improving user experience with voice services.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 36


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 3 Basic VoLTE Functions

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.

3.5.2 Power Control in Dynamic Scheduling


Power control policies for voice services in dynamic scheduling are the same as those for data
services. For details on power control policies when dynamic scheduling is used for voice
services, see Power Control Feature Parameter Description.

3.6 SIP Message Parsing for Voice Services


In the voice rate control features and voice quality indicator (VQI) measurement algorithm,
the eNodeB must obtain negotiated speech codec schemes and rate sets of UEs. Currently,
these are obtained by parsing SIP messages.

3.6.1 Basic Concepts of IPsec


Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a suite of protocols and services that provide integrity
protection and security for IP networks. The IPsec protocol suite contains two security
protocols and one key exchange negotiation protocol.

The protocols are as follows:

l Security protocols: Authentication Header (AH) and Encapsulation Security Payload


(ESP)
l Key exchange negotiation protocol: Internet Key Exchange (IKE)

Item AH ESP

Protocol ID in IP header 51 50

Function Integrity protection Integrity protection and encryption

Encapsulation mode Transport or tunnel mode Transport or tunnel mode

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

For more details about basic concepts of IPsec, see IPsec.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 3 Basic VoLTE Functions

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.

Step 2 The eNodeB parses the SIP messages.


l The eNodeB parses the SIP messages on the QCI 5 radio bearer one by one until it
detects an ACK. The eNodeB also saves the latest two AMR-NB/AMR-WB/EVS rate
set information records and corresponding Payload Type (PT) values.
l The eNodeB searches for information about the AMR/EVS rate set and corresponding
PT value in each SIP message as follows:
– It searches for the keyword EVS.

Table 3-4 Searching for the keyword EVS

If... Then...

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

scheme.
n The eNodeB parses the fields (including evs-mode-
switch, bw, br and ch-aw-recv) corresponding to the PT
value to obtain information about the negotiated EVS
rate set of the UE, including the EVS type, mode,
bandwidth, bit rate, and whether to support 13.2 kbit/s
channel aware.
n The eNodeB proceeds to The eNodeB searches for the
keyword AMR.

The keyword is not The eNodeB proceeds to The eNodeB searches for the
found keyword AMR.

– It searches for the keyword AMR.

Table 3-5 Searching for the keyword AMR

If... Then...

The keyword is n The eNodeB records the location of the keyword and
found searches for the PT value corresponding to the AMR
scheme.
n The eNodeB pareses the fields (including mode-set)
corresponding to the PT value to obtain information
about the negotiated AMR rate set of the UE, including
AMR WB, AMR type, and bit rate.
n The eNodeB proceeds to The eNodeB records
information about the rate sets.

The keyword is not The eNodeB proceeds to The eNodeB records


found information about the rate sets.

– The eNodeB records information about the rate sets.


The eNodeB records the first found AMR-NB/AMR-WB/EVS rate set and
corresponding PT value, and then parses the next SIP message.
Example: Figure 3-9 and Figure 3-10 show the rate set information in the last two
SIP messages ahead of the ACK.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 3 Basic VoLTE Functions

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

3.6.3 Parsing-Limited Scenarios


In scenarios where the eNodeB cannot parse SIP messages (referred to as parsing-limited
scenarios), it cannot obtain the negotiated rate set of the UE.

The parsing-limited scenarios, in which PT value check fails, are listed as follows:

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 3 Basic VoLTE Functions

l SIP messages are encrypted using an algorithm other than null.


l SIP messages are not encrypted or are encrypted using the null algorithm. However, SIP
messages are fragmented and no fragment contains complete coding rates corresponding
to the PT value for the current voice service.
l The eNodeB cannot determine whether the SIP messages have been encrypted using the
null encryption algorithm or an encryption algorithm other than null.
l SIP messages are out of order due to transmission faults, and the eNodeB fails to obtain
the rate set before receiving an ACK message.
l When a UE is handed over or the RRC connection of a UE is being reestablished, the
target cell does not receive the negotiated rate set or receives an incorrect one in a private
X2 message, and the target cell cannot obtain the negotiated rate set information by
parsing SIP messages.
l When multiple ACK messages are received, the rate set parsed from the message
corresponding to the first ACK message is different from that parsed from the message
corresponding to another ACK message.
l Fields rtpmap and fmtp in the SIP message are reversed in order.

4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

Operators can enable the features described in this chapter to improve VoLTE performance
such as capacity and coverage.

4.1 Capacity Enhancement

4.1.1 Semi-Persistent Scheduling and Power Control

4.1.1.1 LOFD-001016 VoIP Semi-persistent Scheduling


This section describes the LOFD-001016 VoIP Semi-persistent Scheduling feature.

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.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 43


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

Figure 4-1 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

In LTE FDD mode, interval adaption is not supported by semi-persistent scheduling. If


CellUlschAlgo.UlSpsInterval and CellDlschAlgo.DlSpsInterval are set to ADAPTIVE(ADAPTIVE),
the actual semi-persistent scheduling intervals are 20 ms.

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.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

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.

Uplink Semi-Persistent Scheduling


During uplink semi-persistent scheduling, the eNodeB determines the modulation and coding
scheme (MCS) and the number of PRBs based on the following items:
l Size of voice packets (if ROHC is disabled) or size of compressed voice packets (if
ROHC is enabled)
l Fullband signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR)
After uplink semi-persistent scheduling is activated, the UE periodically sends data and the
eNodeB periodically receives the data using the uplink semi-persistently allocated resources.
The eNodeB also checks whether the allocated MCS is suitable under the current channel
conditions. If the MCS is not suitable under the current channel conditions, the eNodeB
reactivates semi-persistent scheduling.
After the eNodeB triggers a UE to enter uplink semi-persistent scheduling, the
logicalChannelSR-Mask-r9 IE in the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message instructs the
UE not to send scheduling requests over the radio bearers for QCI 1. This reduces UE power
consumption. This function is controlled by the CellULSchAlgo.SrMaskSwitch parameter. It
is recommended that you enable this function if uplink semi-persistent scheduling is enabled.
This function takes effect only on UEs that comply with 3GPP Release 9 or later versions.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

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.

Downlink Semi-Persistent Scheduling


During downlink semi-persistent scheduling, the eNodeB determines the MCS and the
number of PRBs based on the following items:
l Size of voice packets (if ROHC is disabled) or size of compressed voice packets (if
ROHC is enabled)
l Fullband CQI
The UE and eNodeB then receive and send data on the allocated resources.
After downlink semi-persistent scheduling is activated, the eNodeB checks whether the
allocated MCS matches the current channel status. If the MCS is not suitable under the
current channel conditions, the eNodeB reactivates semi-persistent scheduling. The two
possible scenarios are as follows:
l If the periodically measured IBLER is greater than the
CellDlschAlgo.DlSpsMcsDecreaseIblerThd parameter value, the eNodeB lowers the
MCS index and reactivates downlink semi-persistent scheduling.
l If the periodically measured IBLER is lower than 5%, the eNodeB increases the MCS
index and reactivates downlink semi-persistent scheduling. Downlink MCS index
increase for downlink semi-persistent scheduling is controlled by the
DlSpsMcsIncreaseSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.CqiAdjAlgoSwitch parameter.
According to 3GPP TS 36.321 and TS 36.331, the eNodeB reserves HARQ processes for
downlink semi-persistent scheduling while configuring semi-persistent scheduling for UEs.
Before downlink semi-persistent scheduling is activated, reserved HARQ processes can be
used for dynamic scheduling to increase the number of HARQ processes available for data
services. This function is controlled by the DlSpsRevHarqUseSwitch option of the
CellDlschAlgo.DlEnhancedVoipSchSw parameter.
When the eNodeB configures downlink semi-persistent scheduling for UEs, the PUCCH
requires available downlink semi-persistent code channels for HARQ feedback.

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.

scheduling

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

4.1.1.2 Power Control in Semi-Persistent Scheduling


This section describes power control policies of voice services during semi-persistent
scheduling. For details on power control, see Power Control.
If downlink semi-persistent scheduling is used, power control is not performed. Instead, the
eNodeB transmit power is evenly distributed on the RBs.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

If uplink semi-persistent scheduling is used, the CloseLoopSpsSwitch option of the


CellAlgoSwitch.UlPcAlgoSwitch parameter specifies whether to enable closed-loop power
control for the PUSCH in semi-persistent scheduling mode.
l If this option is selected, the eNodeB adjusts the PUSCH transmit power based on the
measured IBLER of voice services.
l If this option is deselected, the eNodeB uses open-loop power control for the PUSCH
instead of using closed-loop power control for the PUSCH in semi-persistent scheduling
mode.
The SpsAndDrxOptSwitch option of the CellUlschAlgo.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw parameter
specifies whether to enable optimization of collaboration between semi-persistent scheduling
and DRX.
l If this option is selected:
– If the TPC-PUSCH-RNTI request fails, semi-persistent scheduling does not take
effect for UEs. This restriction avoids packet loss if the eNodeB cannot send semi-
persistent TPC commands.
– If DRX is enabled, the occasions for sending semi-persistent TPC commands must
be confined to the On Duration. If these commands are sent outside the On
Duration, dynamic scheduling instead of semi-persistent scheduling can take effect
for UEs. This restriction avoids packet loss if the UEs cannot receive semi-
persistent TPC commands from the eNodeB.
l If this option is deselected:
– If the TPC-PUSCH-RNTI request fails, semi-persistent scheduling may still take
effect for UEs but the packet loss rate may increase.
– If DRX is enabled, semi-persistent TPC commands may be sent outside the On
Duration but the packet loss rate may increase.

NOTE

If the CloseLoopSpsSwitch option is deselected, the TPC-PUSCH-RNTI corresponding to the PUSCH


cannot be requested. If the SpsAndDrxOptSwitch option is selected in this situation, uplink semi-
persistent scheduling cannot take effect for UEs.

4.1.2 LOFD-001017 RObust Header Compression (ROHC)


This section describes how the optional feature LOFD-001017 RObust Header Compression
(ROHC) works for VoLTE. For details on this feature, see ROHC Feature Parameter
Description.
ROHC provides an efficient header compression mechanism for data packets transmitted on
radio links to reduce the impact of high bit error rates (BERs) and long round trip time (RTT).
This reduces header overheads and packet loss, and shortens response time.
In the current version, ROHC is used to compress the headers of only voice packets (QCI of 1
and PTT QCI services), as shown in Figure 4-4. ROHC reduces the packet size and PRB
overheads. When PRBs are insufficient, ROHC helps increase system capacity.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

Figure 4-4 ROHC for VoLTE

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 Coverage Improvement

4.2.1 LOFD-001048 TTI Bundling


This section describes the principles of the optional feature LOFD-001048 TTI Bundling and
how it works for VoLTE.

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.

TTI bundling is controlled by the TtiBundlingSwitch(TtiBundlingSwitch) option of the


CellAlgoSwitch.UlSchSwitch parameter. When this option is selected, the eNodeB
determines whether a UE enters the TTI bundling state based on the channel quality. For a UE
in the TTI bundling state, the eNodeB determines the number of PRBs and selects an MCS
based on the channel quality and the amount of data to be transmitted.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

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:

l When this parameter is set to OFF:


– According to section 8.6.1 "Modulation order and redundancy version
determination" in 3GPP TS 36.213 of Release 10, when TTI bundling is enabled,
the modulation scheme must be QPSK and the resource allocation size is restricted
to a maximum of three PRBs.
– The highest MCS index allowed is 10, and the TBS can be up to 504 bits. Voice
services are delay-sensitive. If higher-layer data is not transmitted within the
specified delay budget, voice quality deteriorates.
l When this parameter is set to ON:
– In accordance with 3GPP TS 36.213 CR0463 of Release 12, when TTI bundling is
enabled, the modulation scheme must be QPSK but the resource allocation size is
no longer limited to three PRBs.
– In accordance with 3GPP TS 36.213 CR0463 of Release 12, the new HARQ
feedback time sequence shown in Figure 4-5 is supported and the number of
simultaneous HARQ processes changes from four to three.
– The highest MCS index allowed is no longer 10.

Entry Conditions
The conditions for UEs to enter the TTI bundling state are as follows:

l TTI bundling is enabled.


l The UE supports TTI bundling.
l The UE stays in the talk spurts state and has only one QCI 1 dedicated bearer which
carries no data transmission when the CellUlschAlgo.TtiBundlingTriggerStrategy
parameter is set to SERVICE_VOIP.
l The UE has a QCI 1 dedicated bearer when the
CellUlschAlgo.TtiBundlingTriggerStrategy parameter is set to
SERVICE_MULTIAPP.
l The uplink UE power is limited.
l The measured SINR is less than the target SINR in multiple consecutive measurements.
The number of consecutive measurements is specified by
CellUlschAlgo.StatisticNumThdForTtibTrig.

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.

If CellTtiBundlingAlgo.R12TtiBundlingSwitch is set to ON, the target SINR value is


controlled by CellTtiBundlingAlgo.SinrThdToTrigR12TtiB.

If CellTtiBundlingAlgo.R12TtiBundlingSwitch is set to OFF, the target SINR value is


controlled by CellTtiBundlingAlgo.SinrThdToTrigTtib.

Data Block Transmission


For UEs in the TTI bundling state, the eNodeB first determines the number of PRBs and MCS
based on channel quality and the amount of data to transmit. Then, the eNodeB transmits data
blocks using the PRBs and MCS index.
The UE transmits identical data within a bundle of four consecutive TTIs and performs
HARQ retransmission also within a bundle of four consecutive TTIs. The four uplink
subframes correspond to only one piece of feedback on the PHICH. The retransmission
interval changes from 8 TTIs (normal HARQ RTT) to 16 TTIs (bundle HARQ RTT).

NOTE

If the RetxFssSchSwitch option of the CellUlschAlgo.TtiBundlingRetxStrategy parameter is selected,


HARQ retransmission operates in adaptive mode. Otherwise, the retransmission operates in synchronous
non-adaptive mode.

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.

Figure 4-5 TTI bundling

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.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 52


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

Figure 4-6 TTI bundling and RLC segmentation

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.

When TTI bundling is enabled, it is recommended that the


RlcPdcpParaGroup.ENodeBReorderingTimerAdapt parameter be set to ON. This reduces
the voice packet loss caused by improper configurations of the reordering timer at the receiver
end, RLC retransmissions, and the number of RLC status reports. This also saves air-interface
resources.

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.

The TTIB_EXIT_BASED_ON_QCI_SW option of the


CellTtiBundlingAlgo.TtiBundlingAlgoSw parameter determines whether to enable the
function of exiting the TTI bundling state based on the QCI. If this option is selected and a
UE performs both VoLTE services and data services, the UE exits the TTI bundling state after
releasing the VoLTE services and does not use TTI bundling for the data service. Selecting
this option in weak-coverage scenarios may decrease the RRC connection reestablishment
success rate and increase call drop rate.

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.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

Enhanced TTI Bundling Algorithm


In weak-coverage scenarios, after the UE exits the TTI bundling state due to a handover or
RRC connection reestablishment, the eNodeB must evaluate entry into TTI bundling again
before the UE can return to the TTI bundling state.

Therefore, the TTIBUNDLING_ALGO_ENHANCE_SW option of the


CellTtiBundlingAlgo.TtiBundlingAlgoSw parameter is introduced. If this option is selected:

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.

4.2.2 Uplink RLC Segmentation Enhancement


This section describes how uplink RLC segmentation enhancement works for VoLTE.

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.

The CellUlschAlgo.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum parameter has been introduced to control the


maximum number of uplink RLC segments for UEs not in the TTI bundling state as follows:

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 The CellUlschAlgo.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum parameter is set to 0.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 54

eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

l The GLOBALPROCSWITCH.LcgProfile parameter is set to LCG_PROFILE_1.


l UEs are in the TTI bundling state.
NOTE

This function is suitable only for QCI 1 services.


When the CellUlschAlgo.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum parameter is set to its recommended value, this
function increases the MOS by about 0.3 for VoIP UEs not supporting TTI bundling in uplink weak-
coverage areas.

4.2.3 LOFD-111207 VoLTE Rate Control/LEOFD-121202 EVS Rate


Control
This section describes voice rate control which involves the following optional features:

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.

4.2.3.2 Voice Rate Control Process

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.

Voice rate control varies with scenarios as follows:


l If IMS signaling is encrypted, the eNodeB cannot obtain the rate set supported by the
UE. In this situation, SBC can be used to perform voice rate control.
l For a UE that newly accesses a cell, the eNodeB obtains the rate set supported by the UE
from the SIP message and the initial voice coding rate of the UE from the uplink RTP
packet.
l For a UE experiencing an X2-based handover, upon receiving a Handover Request ACK
message, the source cell sends the target cell a private X2 message which includes such
rate adjustment information as the UE's initial voice coding rate and the rate set
negotiated with the UE. If the target cell does not receive the message, voice rate
adjustment will not take effect in the target cell.
l For a UE experiencing an S1-based handover, the source cell does not send a private X2
message to the target cell. Therefore, voice rate adjustment does not take effect in the
target cell.

Adjustment Process
According to the rates supported by a UE, the voice coding rate can be adjusted between the

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.

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:

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 59


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

– The UE fails to respond to the rate adjustment request within N (specified by


eNBCellRsvdPara.RsvdU8Para20) uplink voice packets.
– Some rates in the rate set supported by the UE are missing in the configured rate
set, and the UE does not support cross-rate adjustment, as indicated by "mode-
change-neighbor = 1" in the SIP messages.
l When multiple ACK messages are received, the information of the rate set parsed from
the message corresponding to the first ACK message is different from that parsed from
the message corresponding to another ACK message.
l The UE is blacklisted or is not whitelisted.
NOTE

If IPsec with the null algorithm is used, the eNodeB can still perform AMR or EVS rate control through
rate adjustment.

UE Whitelist and Blacklist


AMR or EVS rate control can be enabled or disabled for specified UE types through a

4.2.4 LOFD-081219 Inter-eNodeB VoLTE CoMP


This section introduces the optional feature LOFD-081219 Inter-eNodeB VoLTE CoMP. This
feature is controlled by the UlVoiceJROverRelaxedBHSw option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.OverBBUsSwitch parameter.
A UE performing voice services can be selected as a type-1 UE but cannot be selected as a
type-2 UE. To enlarge the coverage area of VoLTE, UL CoMP is performed only for UEs to
which QPSK is applied.

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.

This feature supports inter-BBU macro-macro, macro-micro, and micro-micro UL CoMP


with BBUs connected through an IP RAN.
The implementation of this feature (including measurement, UL CoMP entry, and UL CoMP
exit) is similar to that for LOFD-001066 Intra-eNodeB UL CoMP. For details, see UL CoMP
Feature Parameter Description.
The differences are as follows:
In the measurement phase, event A3 is recommended for UE selection for macro-macro,
macro-micro, and micro-micro UL CoMP. The A3 offset is specified by the
CellUlCompAlgo.UlCompA3OffsetForRelaxedBH parameter.
If three cells are involved in UL CoMP, only one IP-RAN-based inter-BBU neighboring cell
can be selected for VoLTE CoMP.
When the eNodeB selects cooperating cells, it checks the transmission load status and
performs transmission load control and congestion control. For details, see Transport
Resource Management Feature Parameter Description.
l When the eNodeB detects that an eX2 interface is congested, it performs back-pressure
on VoLTE CoMP and removes the cooperating cell served by the peer eNodeB over this
interface.
l When the eNodeB detects that the eX2 interface is no longer congested, it cancels back-
pressure on VoLTE CoMP and restores the cooperating cell served by the peer eNodeB
over this interface.
l When the eNodeB detects that the eX2 interface is overloaded, it removes this interface
and the cooperating cell served by the peer eNodeB over this interface.

4.2.5.1 LOFD-121214 VoLTE Coverage-based CSFB

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

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 61

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

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.

This feature is controlled by the CellHoParaCfg.FlashSrvccSwitch parameter.

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:

l Path loss > CellHoParaCfg.UlPoorCoverPathLossThd


l SINR < CellHoParaCfg.UlPoorCoverSinrThd

Figure 4-9 Signaling procedure for UEs in weak-coverage areas

The signaling procedure for UEs in weak-coverage areas is as follows:

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.

3. Depending on the role of the UE:


a. If the UE is the caller, the IMS sends an SIP message (SIP 500/380/503) to the UE,
instructing the UE to initiate a CSFB procedure.
b. If the UE is the callee, the EPC sends a CS Paging Notification message to the UE,
instructing the UE to initiate a CSFB procedure.
NOTE

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.

4.2.5.2 Voice-Quality-based Inter-Frequency Handover

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.

BTS3202E and BTS3203E do not support voice-quality-based inter-frequency handover.

This function takes effect when the


InterFreqVolteQualityHoSwitch(InterFreqVolteQualityHoSwitch) option of the
CellHoParaCfg.VoLTEQualityHoAlgoSwitch parameter is selected.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

Triggering and Stopping Inter-Frequency Measurement


Within a voice quality decision period specified by the
CellHoParaCfg.VolteQualPktLossPeriod parameter:

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.

If the EutranInterNFreq.VolteQualityIfHoTargetInd parameter of a frequency is set to


NOT_ALLOWED(NOT_ALLOWED), voice-quality-based inter-frequency handovers to
the frequency are not allowed.

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.

Table 4-8 describes the thresholds of event A4 for voice-quality-based inter-frequency


handovers. The setting notes for other parameters are the same as those for event A4 for

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

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

4.3 Quality Improvement

4.3.1 LOFD-081229 Voice Characteristic Awareness Scheduling


This section describes the optional feature LOFD-081229 Voice Characteristic Awareness
Scheduling.

Uplink Delay-based Dynamic Scheduling


Uplink delay-based dynamic scheduling allows the eNodeB to assign different scheduling
priorities based on their data scheduling wait time and service types. This balances the
scheduling sequence, helping to improve voice quality. Specifically, voice quality improves
for UEs far from the center with poor channel quality. This feature also increases voice user
experience when the voice service load is high.
The CellUlSchAlgo.UlDelaySchStrategy parameter specifies the uplink delay-based
scheduling strategy as follows:
l If this parameter is set to VOIP_DELAYSCH, the eNodeB prioritizes data services if
their scheduling wait times are longer than 25 ms, as shown in Figure 4-10.

Figure 4-10 Scheduling priority when UlDelaySchStrategy is set to


VOIP_DELAYSCH

l If this parameter is set to VOIP_AND_DATA_DELAYSCH, voice services are


preferentially scheduled to ensure voice quality when data and voice services both have a
high load, as shown in Figure 4-11.

VOIP_AND_DATA_DELAYSCH

The MCS index is decreased for SR scheduling of voice services but not for SR
scheduling of data services.
l If this parameter is set to NO_DELAYSCH, the uplink delay-based scheduling strategy
is not used.

Uplink VoLTE Volume Estimation for Dynamic Scheduling


Uplink VoLTE volume estimation for dynamic scheduling allows the eNodeB to estimate the
uplink service volume so that scheduling can be performed at a time. If this function is not
used, the eNodeB can obtain an accurate downlink service volume but cannot obtain an
accurate uplink service volume.
The eNodeB performs uplink estimation based on the VoLTE model and uplink scheduling
intervals as follows:
l During talk spurts, the eNodeB estimates the number of voice packets in the UE buffer
based on their uplink scheduling intervals. It then calculates the volume of voice packets
based on the voice packet size.
l During silent periods, the eNodeB regards the voice packet size as the uplink VoLTE
volume for dynamic scheduling.
Uplink VoLTE volume estimation for dynamic scheduling makes the calculation of uplink
service volume more accurate, and therefore shortens the additional delay of voice packets in
case the calculated uplink service volume is less than the actual volume. This function can
improve voice quality when the cell is heavily loaded and DRX is enabled. Figure 4-12
shows the principles.

Uplink VoLTE volume estimation for dynamic scheduling is controlled by the


UlVoLTEDataSizeEstSwitch option of the CellUlschAlgo.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw
parameter.

Independent Configuration of the UE Inactivity Timer for Voice Services


When a called UE does not answer a call, the eNodeB releases the calling UE after the UE
inactivity timer expires. This may interrupt the session.

When GlobalProcSwitch.QciParaEffectFlag is set to ON, the QciPara.UeInactiveTimerPri


parameter specifies the QCI priority as follows:
l In dynamic DRX scenarios, the UE inactivity timer length equals
QciPara.UeInactivityTimerDynDrxQci, which corresponds to the highest-priority QCI.
l In other scenarios, the UE inactivity timer length equals
QciPara.UeInactiveTimerForQci, which corresponds to the highest-priority QCI.
If CellAlgoSwitch.UEInactiveTimerQCI1Switch is set to ON, the UE inactivity timer
length is specified by QciPara.UeInactiveTimerForQci, which corresponds to QCI 1.
Otherwise, the UE inactivity timer length is specified by
QciPara.UeInactiveTimerForQci, which corresponds to QCI 5.

Independent Configuration of the PUSCH RSRP Upper Limit


This function prevents the uplink receive power from overloading and reduces interference.
By default, voice and data services use the same PUSCH RSRP upper limit. The following
parameters are involved in the upper limit configuration:

l CellPcAlgo.PuschRsrpHighThd
l ParaAutoOptCfg.PUSCHRsrpHighThd4AutoOpt
l UlCsAlgoPara.UlCoPcRbkRsrpThd

For details, see the descriptions about the RSRP upper limit in closed-loop power control for
the PUSCH in Power Control Feature Parameter Description.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 69


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

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

If CellPcAlgo.PuschRsrpHighThdOffsetVoIP is set to 255, there is no PUSCH RSRP upper limit for


voice services.

Uplink VoLTE Continuous Scheduling


During uplink VoLTE continuous scheduling, VoLTE UEs are continuously scheduled in the
uplink during talk spurts to reduce the uplink scheduling delay, which decreases the uplink
packet delay and jitter for VoLTE services and improves voice quality.
l When a UE is in DRX mode, all the voice data of the UE cannot be scheduled at a time
during SR scheduling or compensation scheduling if the UE's power or uplink RBs are
insufficient. However, with uplink VoLTE continuous scheduling, the eNodeB does not
need to wait for the UE to report the BSR before triggering the next uplink dynamic
scheduling. Instead, the eNodeB tries the next uplink dynamic scheduling in the next
TTI.
l When a UE not in the TTI bundling state starts gap-assisted measurement, the eNodeB
prevents UL Grant, PUSCH initial transmission, PHICH feedback for the initial
transmission, and initial retransmission from falling into measurement gaps. However,
uplink VoLTE continuous scheduling enables the eNodeB to prevent only UL Grant and
initial transmission on the PUSCH from falling into measurement gaps, so that the UE is
more likely to be scheduled and the uplink scheduling delay is reduced.
Uplink VoLTE continuous scheduling is controlled by the UlVoLTEContinuousSchSw
option of the CellUlschAlgo.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw parameter.

Voice-based SRI Period Adaption Optimization


The SRI period adaption function extends the SRI period of voice or data services to 40 ms or
even 80 ms according to the same principles for heavy SRI loads and high SRI loads. This
increases the uplink delay of voice packets and affects voice user experience.

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.

4.3.2 LBFD-081104 UL Compensation Scheduling


This section describes LBFD-081104 UL Compensation Scheduling.
Sending uplink data is dependent on the scheduling requests (SRs) reported by UEs. If an
eNodeB experiences missing SR detection, the eNodeB may not perform scheduling in a
timely manner. This may extend the voice packet waiting delay or cause timeout-triggered

packet loss. Figure 4-13 shows the situation before uplink compensation scheduling is
enabled.

Figure 4-13 Uplink compensation scheduling not 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.

Figure 4-14 Uplink compensation scheduling enabled

This feature is controlled by the UlVoipSchOptSwitch option of the


CellUlschAlgo.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw parameter.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 71

eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

The CellUlschAlgo.UlCompenSchPeriodinSpurt and


CellUlschAlgo.UlCompenSchPeriodinSilence parameters indicate the minimum intervals for
compensation scheduling for talk spurts and silent periods, respectively.

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.

4.3.3 LBFD-081105 Voice-Specific AMC


This section describes LBFD-081105 Voice-Specific AMC.

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.

4.3.4 LOFD-121202 VoLTE User Prior Access

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.

eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

Figure 4-15 Calling UE identification

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 Preferential Access of Voice Services

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 74


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

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.

This function is controlled by the VoltePrefAdmissionSwitch option of the


CellAlgoSwitch.RacAlgoSwitch parameter. The number of reserved VoLTE UEs is specified
by CellRacThd.VolteReservedNumber.

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.

4.3.5.3 UE Access Processing


When preferential access of voice services is enabled and the number of online UEs in a cell
exceeds the difference between the maximum allowed number of UEs in the cell and the
number of reserved VoLTE UEs, the eNodeB handles voice and data service UEs using
different policies depending on the setting of the VoLTEPreemptionSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.RacAlgoSwitch parameter:

l If this option is deselected:


– Newly accessed VoLTE UEs use the UE resources reserved for VoLTE services to
access voice services.
– The eNodeB redirects newly accessed data service UEs to inter-frequency or inter-
RAT cells or directly releases them.
l If this option is selected:
– Newly accessed VoLTE UEs preempt resources allocated to low-priority data
service UEs. The eNodeB redirects those data service UEs to inter-frequency or
inter-RAT cells or directly releases them. If the preemption fails, these VoLTE UEs
use the UE resources reserved for VoLTE UEs to access voice services. For details
on preemption, see Admission and Congestion Control.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 75


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

– 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.

4.3.6 PUSCH RB Reservation for Voice Service UEs


This section describes PUSCH RB reservation for voice service UEs.
This function allows certain number of RBs at a specified position to be reserved for voice
service UEs on the PUSCH. Voice service UEs can preferentially use reserved RB resources.
If the reserved RB resources are used up, voice service UEs can use non-reserved RB
resources. However, non-voice service UEs cannot use reserved RB resources.
The UlVoipRbRsvSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.UlSchExtSwitch parameter specifies
whether to enable this function. The CellUlschAlgo.UlVoipRsvRbStart parameter specifies
the start position of reserved RBs, and the CellUlschAlgo.UlVoipRsvRbNum parameter
specifies the number of reserved RBs.

4.3.7 Uplink Voice Mute Recovery


This section describes the uplink voice mute recovery function.
With this function, the eNodeB detects UEs with uplink voice mute and then initiates intra-
cell handovers or releases the RRC connections to try to restore voice communication.
This function is controlled by the UlCallMuteRecoverSwitch option of the
CellUlschAlgo.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw parameter.
l Detection of UEs with uplink voice mute
The eNodeB considers a UE that meets one of the following conditions within a 5s
detection period as a UE with uplink voice mute:
– The eNodeB does not receive any voice packet from the UE.
– The eNodeB receives voice packets from the UE, but the voice packet error rate is
greater than 80%.
l Handling of UEs with uplink voice mute
– If the voice mute is caused by PDCP or RLC exceptions, the eNodeB performs
intra-cell handovers on the UEs to reconfigure their radio bearers.
– If the voice mute is caused by other reasons, the eNodeB acts as follows for each of
the UEs:
n If there is a non-serving E-UTRA frequency, the eNodeB performs an inter-
frequency blind redirection for the UE. The RRC connection release message
contains the non-serving E-UTRA frequency.
NOTE

n If there is no non-serving E-UTRA frequency, the eNodeB releases the RRC


connection for the UE. The RRC connection release message does not contain
any non-serving E-UTRA frequencies.

4.4 Power Saving


This section describes how the basic feature LBFD-002017 DRX works for VoLTE.

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.

The CellDrxPara.DrxAlgSwitch parameter specifies whether to enable DRX.

Figure 4-16 DRX working for VoLTE

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.

DRX During Intra-RAT Gap-assisted Measurement


For voice services, when intra-RAT gap-assisted measurement and DRX are both enabled, the
voice quality of UEs that start gap-assisted measurements deteriorates. Turning on the switch
that controls mutual exclusion between gap-assisted measurement and DRX can eliminate the
impact and improve voice quality. For details, see DRX and Signaling Control.

Downlink Packet Bundling in the On Duration


In scenarios with a high probability of SR false alarms, the DRX state of the eNodeB is
different from that of a UE. The eNodeB may schedule the QCI 1 service for the UE during
the DRX sleep time in the downlink. This increases the downlink packet loss rate and affects
voice quality.
Downlink packet bundling in the On Duration is controlled by the
CellDrxPara.DrxSrDetectOptSwitch parameter. When this parameter is set to ON, the
eNodeB does not perform downlink scheduling for QCI 1 services upon detecting an SR
during the DRX sleep time. Such downlink scheduling is resumed only after the eNodeB
enters the DRX On Duration.
The function reduces the impacts of SR false alarms on voice quality. However, downlink
packet delay of QCI 1 services will increase. If bearers carrying QCI 1 services also carry data
services, the downlink packet delay of data services will also increase.

Exiting DRX Based on Voice Quality


With this function enabled in DRX scenarios, the eNodeB measures the uplink or downlink
packet loss rate of a UE performing QCI 1 services. If either packet loss rate is greater than
the CellDrxPara.VoltePlrThldForExitingDrx parameter value, the eNodeB instructs the UE
to exit DRX, reducing the impact of DRX on voice quality.
This function reduces the QCI 1 packet loss rate, but the following will decrease: power-
saving effect, number of UEs in the DRX active state, and percentage of VoIP UEs in the
DRX active state. If a UE in the weak-coverage area fails to receive a signaling message for
exiting the DRX state, the QCI 1 call drop rate will increase.

Cell-Load-based voice DRX Control


This function is controlled by the eNBCellRsvdPara.RsvdU8Para18 parameter.

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.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 78

eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

For example, if eNBCellRsvdPara.RsvdU8Para18 is set to 50:


– When the cell load is greater than or equal to 50, newly admitted voice service UEs
are forbidden to enter DRX.
– When the cell load is less than 30, newly admitted voice service UEs are allowed to
enter DRX.
– When the cell load is within the range [30, 50), the DRX policy for newly admitted
voice service UEs is the same as that used in the previous detection period.
When cell-load-based VoLTE DRX control is enabled, the impact of this function varies
depending on the eNBCellRsvdPara.RsvdU8Para18 parameter setting:
l A larger value of this parameter results in a lower probability of forbidding voice service
UEs to enter DRX. In this situation, the uplink and downlink packet loss rates of voice
services increase with the cell load increase. However, the UEs will consume less power.
l A smaller value of this parameter results in a higher probability of forbidding voice
service UEs to enter DRX. In this situation, the uplink and downlink packet loss rates of
voice services decrease with the cell load increase. However, the UEs will consume more
power. In addition, the downlink cell throughput and user-perceived rate will decrease
slightly.

4.5 Mobility Management

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.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 4 Enhanced VoLTE Features

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.

4.5.2 Intra-Frequency Handover


This section describes the handover parameters that are set based on QCIs in different intra-
frequency handover scenarios. These parameters are as follows:
l IntraFreqHOGroup.IntraFreqHoA3Hyst
l IntraFreqHOGroup.IntraFreqHoA3Offset
l IntraFreqHOGroup.IntraFreqHoA3TimeToTrig
For details on intra-frequency handovers, see Intra-RAT Mobility Management in Connected

co-coverage scenarios.

The following handover parameters can be configured based on QCIs:

l InterFreqHoGroup.InterFreqLoadBasedHoA4ThdRsrp
l InterFreqHoGroup.InterFreqLoadBasedHoA4ThdRsrq

If operators require that service-based inter-frequency handovers be performed on voice


services, that is, QCI 1 services be preferentially set up on a certain frequency, the following
handover policies must be configured:

l Set the handover policy specified by ServiceIfHoCfgGroup.InterFreqHoState to


PERMIT_HO for the frequency specified by of ServiceIfDlEarfcnGrp.DlEarfcn.
NOTE

When a UE initiates a voice service, the eNodeB delivers the A4 measurement configuration to the
UE, instructing the UE to measure the frequency identified by the
ServiceIfDlEarfcnGrp.DlEarfcn parameter.
l Set the CnOperatorQCIPara.Qci parameter to configure the mapping between the
inter-frequency handover frequency policy and QCI 1 services.
l Set the CellQciPara.QciPriorityForHo parameter to configure the highest handover
priority for QCI 1.
l It is recommended that initial planning and configuration be performed on neighboring
cells on frequencies that carry only VoLTE services.

Service-based Inter-RAT Handover


With service-based inter-RAT handover, voice services are handed over from the E-UTRAN
to the GERAN or UTRAN during the service setup phase.
If VoLTE has been deployed, the configurations of service-based inter-RAT handover must
meet either of the following conditions to prevent the eNodeB from immediately triggering
the service-based inter-RAT handover procedure after the UE sets up voice services:
l The UtranServiceHoSwitch(UtranServiceHoSwitch) and
GeranServiceHoSwitch(GeranServiceHoSwitch) options of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter are deselected.
l The UtranServiceHoSwitch(UtranServiceHoSwitch) and

UL-Quality-based Inter-RAT Handover


Similar to coverage-based inter-RAT handover, certain handover parameters for UL-quality-
based inter-RAT handover can be configured based on QCIs.

For details, see Coverage-based Inter-RAT Handover.

4.5.4.2 Handover Mode


The eNodeB determines whether to use SRVCC or PS handover for performing the preceding
inter-RAT handovers so that the CS or PS domain of the target RAT can carry voice services.
The eNodeB selects a handover mode based on conditions such as UE capability and whether
the target RAT can carry IMS-based voice services.

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.

For details on SRVCC, see SRVCC Feature Parameter Description.

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.

For details on PS handovers, see Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode

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-triggered ANR can be triggered by coverage-based handover measurements or MLB-based


measurements. If coverage-based measurement for handover is enabled, gap-assisted measurement is
started even for voice users to avoid call drops. If user-number-based MLB is enabled, MLB does not
select voice users for load balancing.
When VoLTE is deployed, it is recommended that GlobalProcSwitch.VoipWithGapMode be set to
DISABLE(Disable) to ensure the quality of VoLTE services.

PCI Collision Detection and Self-Optimization


After ANR-based proactive PCI conflict detection in the LOFD-002007 PCI Collision
Detection & Self-Optimization feature is enabled, the eNodeB selects UEs without QCI 1
bearers for proactive PCI conflict detection. In addition, the eNodeB sends event-A3 and

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

When VoLTE is deployed, it is recommended that GlobalProcSwitch.VoipWithGapMode be set to


DISABLE(Disable) to ensure the quality of VoLTE services.

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.

Periodic Measurement Reporting/MDT/GSM and LTE Buffer Zone Optimization


For periodic measurement reporting, Minimization of Drive Tests (MDT), or GSM and LTE
buffer zone optimization, the eNodeB selects UEs for measurement.

UEs are selected based on the GlobalProcSwitch.VoipWithGapMode parameter setting.

l When this parameter is set to ENABLE:


The eNodeB randomly selects UEs. When a UE performing VoLTE services is selected,
continuous gap-assisted measurements may affect the voice quality of the UE.
l When this parameter is set to DISABLE:
– If the UE has already initiated VoLTE services, the eNodeB does not select the UE
for periodic inter-frequency or inter-RAT measurement. Such measurement is
decided again only when the UE releases VoLTE services and is selected again.
– If the UE is not performing VoLTE services, the eNodeB sends a periodic inter-
frequency or inter-RAT measurement to the UE. If the UE initiates VoLTE services
later, the eNodeB updates configurations to delete the existing periodic inter-
frequency or inter-RAT measurement of the UE. Such measurement is decided
again only when the UE releases VoLTE services and is selected again.

NOTE

When VoLTE is deployed, it is recommended that GlobalProcSwitch.VoipWithGapMode be set to


DISABLE(Disable) to ensure the quality of VoLTE services.

PRB-based MLB is not recommended for VoLTE.

DL Non-GBR Packet Bundling


After the LOFD-001109 DL Non-GBR Packet Bundling feature is enabled, the scheduling
priority of VoLTE services is no longer the highest priority. This feature is not recommended
for VoLTE when there are many voice users because this feature may slightly affect voice
quality.

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.

Optimized VoLTE PUSCH Power Control


If optimized VoLTE PUSCH power control is enabled, the power of cell-edge VoLTE users
quickly converges to the upper limit, decreasing the packet loss rate of these users. It is
recommended that optimized VoLTE PUSCH power control be enabled in high-speed railway
scenarios.

7 Network Impact

This chapter describes the impact of the VoLTE-related features on the network.

7.1 LBFD-081104 UL Compensation Scheduling


System Capacity
No impact.

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).

7.2 LBFD-081105 Voice-Specific AMC


System Capacity

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

eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 7 Network Impact

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.

7.3 LOFD-001016 VoIP Semi-persistent Scheduling


System Capacity
After semi-persistent scheduling is enabled, PDCCH resources do not hinder voice service
capacity because PDCCH resources are consumed only when semi-persistent scheduling is
initially activated or reactivated, or when semi-persistently allocated resources are released.
Compared with dynamic scheduling, semi-persistent scheduling increases the number of
supported voice service users by more than 30% in simulation case 1, according to the
simulation conditions and capacity evaluation method specified in an appendix of 3GPP TS
36.814.
During semi-persistent scheduling, the MCS index cannot exceed 15. This restriction may
increase the number of RBs allocated to semi-persistently scheduled users near the cell center.
For example, when the coding rate is 23.85 kbit/s (without considering ROHC) and the MCS
index for voice users near the cell center is 26, two RBs are required in the uplink and one RB
in the downlink (dual-stream mode) when dynamic scheduling is enabled. Under the same
condition, semi-persistent scheduling requires three RBs in both the uplink and downlink due
to the MCS index restriction (the largest MCS index is 15). That is, compared with dynamic
scheduling, semi-persistent scheduling for voice users near the cell center consumes more RB
resources. Therefore, the amount of RB resources for data services decreases (compared with
that when semi-persistent scheduling is disabled), and the throughput of data services may
also decrease.
After downlink semi-persistent scheduling is enabled and voice services are set up, the
eNodeB reserves HARQ processes for downlink semi-persistent scheduling. Before the next
initial transmission in semi-persistent scheduling, the HARQ processes for downlink semi-
persistent scheduling may not be released. As a result, periodic data for semi-persistent
scheduling cannot be sent. The HARQ processes are reserved to avoid such a situation. The
HARQ processes reserved for downlink semi-persistent scheduling cannot be used for
dynamic scheduling for other service types for the UE, such as data services. In combined
services where voice and data services coexist, the HARQ processes that can be used by data
services therefore decrease. Compared with the scenario where dynamic scheduling is used by
both voice and data services, the use of downlink semi-persistent scheduling for voice
services affects the throughput of data services, specifically, when the volume of the data
services is large (such as when full buffer service is performed). When there are multiple
users or there is a small volume of data, the impact of reserving HARQ processes is small

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 107


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 7 Network Impact

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.

7.4 LOFD-001048 TTI Bundling


System Capacity
No impact.

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.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 7 Network Impact

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 is 0% to 10%
less than that when the above parameter is set to OFF. The rate decrease varies with the
proportion of 3GPP Release 12 UEs.
l The highest MCS index is no longer confined to 10. This may further increase the
probability of DTX for PDSCH HARQ feedback. As a result, the downlink QCI 1 packet
loss rate on the Uu interface increases.
The enhanced TTI bundling algorithm has the following impacts on network performance:
l The highest MCS index is no longer confined to 10. This may further increase the
probability of DTX for PDSCH HARQ feedback. As a result, the downlink QCI 1 packet
loss rate on the Uu interface increases.
l After RRC connections are reestablished, UEs stay in the TTI bundling state, during
which a high MCS index is used. This increases the probability of DTX for PDSCH
HARQ feedback. As a result, the downlink QCI 1 packet loss rate on the Uu interface
increases.
Enhanced TTI bundling has better coverage performance than common TTI bundling.
However, enhanced TTI bundling uses a high MCS index, which increases the
probability of DTX for PDSCH HARQ feedback. Therefore, enhanced TTI bundling is
recommended only when the uplink packet loss rate is high and the downlink packet loss
rate is low.

7.5 LOFD-081219 Inter-eNodeB VoLTE CoMP


System Capacity
No impact.

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.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 7 Network Impact

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.

7.7 LOFD-111207 VoLTE Rate Control/LEOFD-121202 EVS


Rate Control
System Capacity
None

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.

7.8 Coverage-based VoLTE Experience Optimization


System Capacity
No impact.

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.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 111


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 7 Network Impact

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.

7.9 LOFD-120204 VoLTE Coverage Enhancement Based on


Extended Delay Budget
System Capacity
If the uplink channel quality becomes poor, VoLTE services will consume more PDCCH
CCEs and RBs. With the increase in the number of VoLTE users, the traffic volume and
throughput of data services may slightly 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:

l The Uu-interface transmission delay for voice packets increases.


l In Scenarios Where TTI Bundling is Recommended of 11.1.1 When to Use, the
uplink voice packet loss rate decreases by up to 25%.
l The uplink coverage of VoLTE users increases by 0.5 dB to 2.5 dB when no interference
exists in the uplink and the downlink RSRP is less than -124 dBm.
l The eNodeB selects the TBS based on the amount of data to be scheduled. If a large
amount of data is to be scheduled, the TBS is increased to reduce the uplink PDCP
packet loss rate while the IBLER of uplink VoLTE services increases.
l For a user processing VoLTE and data services simultaneously, the increase in the uplink
MCS index may cause both the uplink RBLER and call drop rate to increase.

7.10 LOFD-121202 VoLTE User Prior Access


System Capacity
No impact.

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.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 112


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 7 Network Impact

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.

7.11 Uplink RLC Segmentation Enhancement


System Capacity
No impact.

Network Performance
Uplink RLC segmentation enhancement can increase the mean opinion score (MOS) of
VoLTE users when the following conditions are met:

l The users are in an uplink weak-coverage area.


l The users are not in the TTI bundling state.
l The users do not enter uplink semi-persistent scheduling.

Uplink RLC segmentation enhancement simultaneously raises the uplink MCS index, IBLER
and residual BLER (RBLER).

7.12 Preferential Access of Voice Services


System Capacity
After the preferential access of voice services function is enabled, more VoLTE UEs can
preferentially access the network using reserved resources, improving cell capacity for VoLTE
UEs.

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:

l The number of online VoLTE UEs increases.


l The number of online data service UEs, the intra-RAT handover success rate, and the call
drop rate are affected as follows:

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 113


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 7 Network Impact

– A smaller value of the CellRacThd.VolteReservedNumber parameter indicates a


smaller proportion of VoLTE UEs that can be preferentially admitted to a cell using
reserved UE resources. When the reserved resources are exhausted, VoLTE UEs
cannot preferentially access the network. This has a slight impact on the number of
online data service UEs, the intra-RAT handover success rate, and the call drop rate.
– A larger value of the CellRacThd.VolteReservedNumber parameter results in the
opposite effects. The number of online data service UEs and the intra-RAT
handover success rate decrease, and the call drop rate increases. When there is a
large number of VoLTE UEs at the same time, cell throughput decreases.

7.13 PUSCH RB Reservation for Voice UEs


System Capacity
After RB resources are reserved, fewer resources are available for uplink data services and
interference increases accordingly. This decreases the uplink throughput and uplink cell
throughput, increases the bit error rate of uplink users, and decreases the MCS index of uplink
data users.

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.

8.1 QoS Requirements


Section 6.1.7 in 3GPP TS 23.203 of Release 10 provides the QoS requirements for services
with standardized QCIs. Table 8-1 lists the QoS requirements for QCI 1 services.

Table 8-1 QoS requirements for QCI 1 services


Resource Type Priority Packet Delay Packet Error Typical Service
Budget (ms) Loss Rate

GBR 2 100 10-2 Conversational voice

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.

8.2 Quality Evaluation


The mean opinion score (MOS) is an important indicator for evaluating voice quality. MOS-
based evaluation involves subjective evaluation, objective evaluation, and measurement-based
evaluation.

8.2.1 Subjective Evaluation


MOS is a subjective evaluation where users listen to unprocessed speech materials and
artificially degraded speech materials and then score speech quality for each.
Table 8-2 lists the MOS standards defined in ITU-T G.107.

8.2.2 Objective Evaluation


Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ), defined in ITU-T P862, is a mainstream
method of objectively evaluating AMR-NB speech quality. Perceptual Objective Listening
Quality Assessment (POLQA), defined in ITU-T P863, is the evolution of PESQ. POLQA
supports a wider sampling scope and provides a more accurate evaluation of AMR-WB or
AMR-NB speech quality. PESQ and POLQA are based on special tools, for example, Digital
Speech Level Analyzer (DSLA).
Objective evaluation is commonly used by operators to evaluate speech quality. However, it
requires the collaboration of drive tests. As it cannot monitor speech quality in real time, it is
generally used for tests in labs, network entry tests, and third-party evaluations of network
quality.

8.2.3 Measurement-based Evaluation


Overview
Using a third-party's drive test tool to evaluate speech quality is time and cost consuming, and
cannot monitor speech quality in real time. Therefore, it is important for vendors to develop
their own measurement-based evaluation methods. Huawei introduced a Voice Quality
Monitoring (VQM) algorithm.
VQM is used for network monitoring, network optimization, VIP guarantee, and user
complaint handling. VQM reduces the necessity of drive tests required for obtaining voice
quality. Table 8-3 lists the voice quality indicators (VQIs) provided by VQM and the
corresponding parameters.

VQM Principles
Figure 8-1 shows the VQM implementation process.

Figure 8-1 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.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 8 Voice Service Performance Evaluation

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.

Voice Quality Evaluation


The eNodeB evaluates voice quality based on the MOS provided by the VQM and voice
quality thresholds. In addition, the eNodeB collects the statistics of counters related to voice
quality, as listed in Table 8-4.

Table 8-4 Voice quality evaluation rules and related counters

VQMAlgo.VqiPoorThd 9-17.

MOS ≤ VQMAlgo.VqiBadThd Bad For details, see Table


9-18.

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 Voice packets are encrypted.


l Voice packets are fragmented.
l There are no voice packets.
l One RTP packet carries multiple speech frames.
l The eNodeB cannot determine whether the SIP messages are encrypted using the null
encryption algorithm or an encryption algorithm other than null.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 118


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eRAN
VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 8 Voice Service Performance Evaluation

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

When EnodebAlgoSwitch.VQMAlgoSwitch is set to VQM_ALGO_SWITCH_ADAPTIVE_ON:


l For UEs that are handed over on the X2 interface, the target cell can calculate VQIs only if the target
cell receives the X2 message UlAmrc/UlEvs, including the voice coding information from the
source cell.
l For other UEs, the target cell cannot calculate VQIs.

8.3 Capacity Evaluation


The voice service capacity can be evaluated based on the number of users performing QCI 1
services. For related counters, see 9.4.4 Voice Capacity.

8.4 Performance Evaluation


The performance of voice services can be evaluated using the following KPIs, which are
described in 9.4.1 Voice KPIs.
l E-RAB Setup Success Rate (VoIP)
l Call Drop Rate (VoIP)

9 Engineering Guidelines for Basic Functions

9.1 When to Use


Operators can determine whether to deploy VoLTE depending on whether IMS is deployed,
the transmission delay, and voice service policies.

The E-UTRAN supports VoLTE after the IMS is deployed. However, VoLTE is inappropriate
for the following scenarios:

l The transmission delay is large.


l VoLTE services are not allowed on certain frequency bands.
l VoLTE services are not allowed on certain frequencies.

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

After the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch parameter is set to OFF, disable VoLTE in


the corresponding tracking areas on the MME.

In other scenarios, to enable VoLTE on an eNodeB, set the


ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch parameter to ON if IMS is deployed.

In scenarios where E-UTRAN coverage is discontinuous, it is recommended that the SRVCC


function be enabled.

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.

9.6 Possible Issues


If voice services cannot get through after VoLTE is deployed, troubleshoot as follows:
1. Check whether the RRC connection procedure is normal.
2. Check whether the Attach procedure is normal.
3. Check whether VoLTE is normally registered in the IMS.
4. Check whether the VoLTE call request procedure is normal.
If the results of steps 1 and 2 are abnormal, the problem is caused by the RAN instead of
VoLTE. In this case, contact Huawei technical support.
If the results of steps 3 and 4 are abnormal, check for parameter settings on the eRAN side.
Specifically, check the following key parameters:
Whether RLCPDCPPARAGROUP.DiscardTimer is set to DiscardTimer_Infinity and
eNodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch is set to ON.
If the parameter settings are incorrect, modify the parameter settings and perform the
verification again.
If the parameter settings are correct, verify the following counters to check the QCI 5 packet
loss rate (indicated by counters listed in Table 9-24):
l If QCI 5 packets are lost, contact Huawei technical support.
l Otherwise, the VoLTE fault is not caused by the eNodeB. In this case, troubleshoot the
IMS, EPC, or transport network.

10 Engineering Guidelines for Capacity


Enhancement

10.1 LOFD-001016 VoIP Semi-persistent Scheduling

10.1.1 When to Use


When the capacity is limited, the following features can be enabled to increase capacity for
voice services.

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.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 10 Engineering Guidelines for Capacity Enhancement

Power Control in Semi-Persistent Scheduling


When uplink semi-persistent scheduling is enabled, power control for uplink semi-persistent
scheduling and optimization of cooperation between semi-persistent scheduling and DRX
must also be enabled so that uplink IBLER converges on the target value.

When downlink semi-persistent scheduling is enabled, optimization of cooperation between


semi-persistent scheduling and DRX must also be enabled to ensure the performance of
downlink semi-persistent scheduling.

Downlink Enhanced Voip CellDlSchAlgo.DlE l The DlVoIPLoadBasedSchS-


Schedule Switch nhancedVoipSchSw witch option of this parameter
specifies whether to enable cell-
load-based adaptation between
dynamic scheduling and semi-
persistent scheduling in the
downlink.
l The DlSpsRevHarqUseSwitch
option of this parameter specifies
whether HARQ feedback
resources reserved for semi-
persistent scheduling can be used
by dynamic scheduling before
semi-persistent scheduling is
activated.
l When the DlSpsDrxDecouplingS-
witch option of this parameter is
deselected, downlink semi-
persistent scheduling can be
activated on the eNodeB only if
the value of
DrxParaGroup.LongDrxCycle is
less than or equal to the value of
CellDlschAlgo.DlSpsInterval.
When this option is selected,
downlink semi-persistent
scheduling can be activated on the
eNodeB without any limitation on
the values of
DrxParaGroup.LongDrxCycle
and CellDlschAlgo.DlSpsInterval.
In this situation, semi-persistent
initial transmissions on the
PDSCH can be performed in the
DRX dormant state. If a UE
cannot receive semi-persistent
PDSCH data in the DRX dormant
state, the downlink voice packet
loss rate increases.

Uplink Semi-Persistent Scheduling


To verify uplink semi-persistent scheduling, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Run the LST CELLALGOSWITCH command to check whether uplink semi-persistent
scheduling has been enabled.
LST CELLALGOSWITCH: LocalCellId=0;

Step 2 After a UE accesses the cell, enable the UE to perform uplink voice services.
Step 3 Start a task on the U2000 client to monitor MCS-specific scheduling statistics.
1. On the U2000, choose Monitor > Signaling Trace > Signaling Trace Management.
2. In the left pane of the Signaling Trace Management window, choose User
Performance Monitoring > MCS Count Monitoring. Set the tracing duration, to-be-
traced MMEc (MME ID), and mTMSI (UE TMSI).
3. Check the MCS-specific scheduling statistics, as shown in Figure 10-1. If the uplink
MCS indexes are less than or equal to 15 and the number of uplink scheduling times is
about 50, uplink semi-persistent scheduling is activated for the UE. (If the UE is not far
from the eNodeB, the number of uplink scheduling times is about 50. If the UE is far
from the eNodeB, the number is greater than 50 due to packet segmentation).

Power Control in Uplink Semi-Persistent Scheduling


To check whether the IBLER values can converge when closed-loop power control in PUSCH
semi-persistent scheduling is enabled, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Run the LST CELLALGOSWITCH command to check whether closed-loop power control
is enabled for the PUSCH in semi-persistent scheduling mode.
Step 2 After a UE accesses the cell, enable the UE to perform an uplink voice service.

Step 3 Start a task on the U2000 client to monitor IBLER values.


1. On the U2000, choose Monitor > Signaling Trace > Signaling Trace Management.
2. In the left pane of the displayed window, choose User Performance Monitoring >
BLER Monitoring. Set the tracing duration and MMEc (MME ID).
3. Check on the U2000 client whether the IBLER values converge, as shown in Figure
10-4. If the values of Uplink IBLER (Permillage) are less than 100 (that is, the IBLER
values are less than 10%), the IBLER values have converged. If the UE is close to the
eNodeB, the IBLER values are relatively small due to favorable channel conditions. If
the UE is far from the eNodeB, the IBLER values are relatively large because of
insufficient power and may not converge.

Using Signaling Tracing


l UEs that newly access the network do not require transfer of rate adjustment
information. For these UEs, the counters listed in Using Counters can be used to check
whether voice rate control has taken effect.
l For UEs undergoing X2-based handovers, X2 interface tracing can be used to check
whether voice rate control has taken effect. If the tracing result indicates the information
similar to that shown in Figure 11-4, the source cell has sent such rate adjustment
information including the UE's initial rate and the rate set negotiated with the UE to the
target cell by using a UlAmrc or UlEvs IE. The following figure uses a UlAmrc IE as an
example.

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 11 Engineering Guidelines for Coverage Improvement

11.3.1 When to Use


Deployment suggestions:
Use this feature when there are VoLTE services on the network, the coverage of VoLTE
services is expected to improve, and the one-way delay between BBUs is less than or equal to
8 ms.
Use this feature when the inter-site distance (ISD) does not exceed 1000 m, for example, in
urban areas. ISD in UL CoMP refers to the distance between the RF modules of the serving
and cooperating cells.

11.3.2 Required Information

Inter-BBU Time Synchronization Precision


Time synchronization with a deviation less than 3 μs must be achieved between BBUs. When
the time synchronization precision does not meet the requirement, the eNodeB automatically
disables the feature.
Time synchronization can be implemented by using a GPS or IEEE1588 V2 clock. For
details, see Synchronization Feature Parameter Description.

Intermodulation Interference Information


Before using this feature, check whether there is intermodulation interference. If so, solve the
problem first. For details about intermodulation interference, contact Huawei technical
support.

PCI Conflict Information


PCI conflicts between intra-frequency neighboring cells have a negative impact on the
performance of UL CoMP. You are advised to turn on the PCI conflict alarm switch so that
PCI collision or confusion can be reported.

Resource Information
This feature shares system resources with SFN, CA, and CSPC. Before using this feature,
contact Huawei engineers for resource check.

11.3.3 Planning

RF Planning
N/A

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.

Issue 08 (2018-08-07) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 177


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

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 Deployment

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:

l This feature is not supported in 4R cells served by LBBPc boards.


l Other LBBP and UBBP boards support 2-cell and 3-cell Inter-eNodeB VoLTE CoMP. In
addition, these boards do not support 3-cell UL CoMP in 4R cells.

CoMP(FDD)

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.

11.3.5 Performance Monitoring


VoLTE CoMP improves the coverage for voice service users and decreases the packet loss
rate. Use the counters listed in Table 11-15 for monitoring QCI 1 packet loss rates, which are
calculated as follows:

l Uplink QCI 1 packet loss rate = L.Traffic.UL.PktLoss.Loss.QCI.1/


L.Traffic.UL.PktLoss.Tot.QCI.1
l Uplink QCI 1 packet loss rate of CEUs = L.Traffic.UL.FarUE.PktLoss.Loss.QCI.1/
L.Traffic.UL.FarUE.PktLoss.Tot.QCI.1
NOTE

Before monitoring CEU counters, turn on the A3-based CEU identification switch and set an A3 offset
for CEU identification.
l The A3-based CEU identification switch is specified by the BasedA3EdgeUserSwitch option of the
CellCounterParaGroup.CellCounterAlgoSwitch parameter.
l The A3 offset for CEU identification is specified by the
CellCounterParaGroup.EdgeUserA3Offset parameter.

MOD CELLULSCHALGO:LOCALCELLID=0,UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum=20;

11.6.3.3 Activation Observation


After uplink RLC segmentation enhancement is activated with the Max Number of UL RLC
Segments for VoIP parameter set to a non-zero value, the MCS index will be increased for a
UE at the cell edge to control the number of uplink RLC segments. To verify this, perform the
following steps:

Step 1 Run the LST CELLULSCHALGO command to check whether Max Number of UL RLC
Segments for VoIP is set to 0. If it is set to 0, go to Step 2. If it is set to a non-zero value, run
the following command to set it to 0:
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
uplink VoIP services.

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.

Uplink Delay-based CellUlschAlgo.UlDelaySch This parameter determines the


Scheduling Strategy Strategy uplink delay-based scheduling
policy.
l If this parameter is set to
NO_DELAYSCH or
VOIP_DELAYSCH_DIVISIO
N, uplink delay-based dynamic
scheduling is not used.
l If this parameter is set to
VOIP_DELAYSCH, the
eNodeB sorts the scheduling
priorities of VoIP data to be
scheduled based on the
scheduling wait time.
l If this parameter is set to
VOIP_AND_DATA_DELAYS
CH, uplink delay-based
dynamic scheduling for voice
and data services is used. In this
situation, the SR pending period
triggered by SR false alarms
may be extended, which
decreases network performance,
for example, wastes scheduling
resources and decreases the
downlink perceived rate. It is
recommended that the
CellDrxPara.DrxStopSrPendin
gSw parameter be set to ON
when DRX is enabled.

Uplink Enhanced CellUlschAlgo.UlEnhenced The UlVoLTEDataSizeEstSwitch


VoIP Schedule VoipSchSw option specifies whether to enable
Switch uplink VoLTE volume estimation
for dynamic scheduling. This
function decreases the delay and
packet loss rate of VoLTE services
and improves voice quality.

The UlMixVoLTEOptSwitch
option specifies whether to
preferentially ensure VoLTE user
experience for UEs performing both
data and voice services. This option
applies only to TDD.

services.
l Set this parameter to 255 in
heavy-load scenarios (for
example, the average number of
users in a cell exceeds 400, 20
of which are performing voice

impact on the performance of
UEs performing voice services
at the near and middle points of
a cell.
l Retain the default value in other

uplink semi-persistent scheduling release. If this


option is deselected, the eNodeB does not restrict the
MCS for uplink dynamic scheduling after uplink
semi-persistent scheduling release. If this option and
the SpsSchSwitch option of the UlSchSwitch
parameter are selected, the eNodeB restricts the MCS
for uplink dynamic scheduling after uplink semi-
persistent scheduling release. In this case, the
reliability of uplink dynamic scheduling transmission
after uplink semi-persistent scheduling release can be
guaranteed, and the voice quality improves.

SpsAndDrxOptSwitch: Indicates whether to optimize


the cooperation between semi-persistent scheduling
and DRX. If this option is deselected, power control
commands for semi-persistent scheduling can be
delivered during the DRX sleep time. If this option is
selected, power control commands for semi-persistent
scheduling can be delivered only during the DRX On
Duration period, but not during the DRX sleep time.

UlCallMuteRecoverSwitch: Indicates whether to


enable voice mute recovery in the uplink. If this
option is deselected, the eNodeB does not perform
voice mute recovery. If this option is selected, the
eNodeB performs voice activity detection (VAD) on
UEs running voice services and performs intra-cell
handovers for or releases the RRC connections of UEs
on which speech absence is detected to recreate the
radio bearers.

UlVoipCrosslayerOptSwitch: Indicates whether to


enable cross-layer optimization for VoIP services in
the uplink. If this option is deselected, the eNodeB
does not perform cross-layer optimization for VoIP
services in the uplink. If this option is selected, the
eNodeB optimizes the PDCP packet discarding timer
for uplink QCI 1 services, the timer for QCI 1 service
packet resequencing on the eNodeB as the receiver in
UM mode, and the maximum number of transmissions
on the MAC layer in the uplink. Then, based on the
optimization result, the eNodeB estimates the volume
of traffic to be dynamically scheduled for VoIP
services in the uplink, selects an optimal MCS, and
allocates an optimal number of RBs to such services.
In this way, the uplink VoIP packet loss rate decreases,
and the voice quality improves.

UlVoLTEContinuousSchSw: Indicates whether to


enable continuous scheduling for uplink VoLTE

services. The continuous scheduling function is


enabled only if this option is selected. When this
function is enabled, the eNodeB continuously
schedules VoLTE UEs during uplink talk spurts to
reduce uplink scheduling delay, packet delay, and
packet jitter for VoLTE UEs and improve voice
quality.
UlMixVoLTEOptSwitch: Indicates whether to
optimize the scheduling for a UE running uplink voice
and data services simultaneously. The eNodeB
optimizes the scheduling for a UE running uplink
voice and data services simultaneously only when this
option is selected. If this option is selected, the
eNodeB allocates a bandwidth suitable for scheduling
of voice packets to VoLTE UEs running both voice
and data services, ensuring that voice services are
preferentially scheduled and lowering the packet loss
rate of QCI 1 bearers when the voice service load is
heavy. This option applies only to LTE FDD and LTE
TDD.
VoLTEPwrOptSwitch: Indicates whether to optimize
power control for VoLTE UEs. If this option is
selected, the power for VoLTE UEs at the cell edge
quickly converges. It is recommended that this option
be selected only in high-speed railway scenarios.
UlVoLTEDelaySchEnhancedSw: Indicates whether to
enhance delay-based dynamic scheduling
prioritization for VoLTE services in the uplink. If this
option is deselected, the eNodeB does not enhance
delay-based dynamic scheduling prioritization for
VoLTE services in the uplink. If this option is selected
and the UlDelaySchStrategy parameter in the
CellUlschAlgo MO is set to
VOIP_AND_DATA_DELAYSCH(VoIP and Data
Delay Scheduling), the eNodeB enhances delay-based
dynamic scheduling prioritization for VoLTE services
in the uplink. This option applies only to LTE TDD.

CellCou CellCou MOD LEOFD- Virtual Meaning: Indicates whether to enable cell-level
nterPara nterAlgo CELLC 111305 / 4T4R algorithms related to performance counters. This
Group Switch OUNTE LEOFD- Adaptiv parameter includes the following options:
RPARA 111305 e Inter- BasedA3EdgeUserSwitch: Indicates whether to enable
GROUP LOFD-0 Cell A3-based cell edge user (CEU) identification. If this
LST 60201 Interfere option is selected, the eNodeB starts to identify CEUs
CELLC nce based on A3-related measurement reports and collects
LOFD-0 related performance counters based on the identified
OUNTE 70208 Coordin
RPARA ation CEUs. This option applies only to LTE FDD and LTE
GROUP TDD.

CellCou EdgeUs MOD LEOFD- Virtual Meaning: Indicates the offset for cell edge user (CEU)
nterPara erA3Off CELLC 111305 4T4R identification event A3. This offset is the difference
Group set OUNTE LOFD-0 Adaptiv between the signal quality of a neighboring cell and
RPARA 60201 e Inter- that of the serving cell. A larger value of this
GROUP Cell parameter results that better signal quality of the
LOFD-0 neighboring cell is required for the reporting of CEU
LST 70208 Interfere
CELLC nce identification event A3 and the eNodeB has a lower
OUNTE Coordin probability of identifying a UE as a CEU. A smaller
RPARA ation value of this parameter results in a higher probability
GROUP that a UE is identified as a CEU. This parameter
Coordin applies only to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.

CellPuc SriReCf MOD LBFD-0 Physical Meaning: Indicates whether the cell supports
chAlgo gInd CELLP 02003 Channel scheduling request indicator (SRI) reconfiguration.
UCCHA Manage This parameter setting takes effect only when the
LGO ment PucchSwitch option of the PucchAlgoSwitch
LST parameter is selected and the SriPeriodAdaptive
CELLP parameter is set to a value other than OFF. If the
UCCHA SriReCfgInd parameter is set to TRUE, the cell
LGO supports SRI reconfiguration. In large traffic
scenarios, SRI reconfiguration can be performed on
UEs with short SRI periods to decrease the probability
that the maximum SRI period (80 ms) is configured.
In this way, user experience in the cell improves. If
the SriReCfgInd parameter is set to FALSE, the cell
does not support SRI reconfiguration. This parameter
applies only to cells served by eNodeBs equipped
with LBBPd or UBBP. This parameter applies only to
LTE FDD.
GUI Value Range: FALSE(FALSE), TRUE(TRUE)
