LTE Measurements
Intra LTE measurements ( from LTE to LTE)
• UE measurements
– CQI measurements
– Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP)
– Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ)
• eNB measurements
– Non standardized (vendor specific): TA, Average RSSI, Average SINR, detected PRACH
preambles, transport channel BLER
– Standardized: DL RS Tx Power, Received Interference Power, Thermal Noise Power
1) UE creates a candidate list of potential cells to camp on. Two possible search procedures:
• Initial Cell Selection: UE scans all RF channels to find a suitable cell. On each carrier, the UE searches for the strongest
cell and reads information. Once the UE has found the suitable cell for the selected PLMN, the UE creates a candidate list
consisting of this cell and its neighboring cells as received in measurement control information.
• Stored Information Cell Selection (optionally) This procedure requires information stored from previously received
measurement control information elements (cell parameters, carrier frequencies, etc.). After the UE has found a suitable cell
for the selected PLMN, candidate list is created same as the initial cell selection process.
2) Each cell on the candidate list is evaluated according to the selection criteria S

UE is measuring the neighbor cells only when the RSRP signal level is
below some threshold.
Measurements trigger The measurements trigger is based primarily on absolute priorities.
In case of equal priority additional thresholds are defined
Evaluate cell reselection criteria “R” For the reselection there are different cases depending on priorites of
the neighbour frequency Layers (for inter-frequency and inter-RAT)

Reselection Intra Frequency Start Measurement Parameter
• In the case of inter-frequency and inter-RAT reselection the measurements trigger depends primarily
on the absolute priorities of the serving & non-serving layer
• UE should always measure higher priority layers
• Therefore UE searches for higher priority layers at least once every (60xNlayers) seconds
• Nlayers is the total number of higher priorities LTE and 3G layers
• Nlayers is increased by 1 if there is one or more groups of GSM frequencies with higher priority.

Evaluate cell reselection criteria “R” For the reselection there are different cases depending on priorites of
the neighbour frequency Layers (for inter-frequency and inter-RAT)
• The UE shall reselect the new cell, if the following conditions are met:
• 1. The new cell is better ranked than the serving cell during a time interval tReselection
• 2. More than 1 second has elapsed since the UE has camped on the current serving cell
Note:
s – indicates the serving cell
n – indicates the candidate neighbour cell.

• Possible mobility states are: high, medium & normal mobility speed UE’s.
• For faster moving UEs the procedure alters - speed dependent scaling rules are applied.
tEvaluation
• UE state detection: nCellChgHigh LNCEL; 30s (0), 60s (1), 120s
LNCEL; 1..16; 1; - (2), 180s (3), 240s (4) ; -
– If the number of (different cells) cell reselections during the past time period tEvalulation exceeds
nCellChgHigh, high mobility has been detected.
– If the number exceeds nCellChgMed, and not nCellChgHigh, medium mobility has been detected.
• Multiply tReselection by "Speed dependent ScalingFactor for TreselectionRAT for high mobility state for RAT
cells. (RAT = EUTRAN, UTRAN, GERAN). (celResTiFHM)
