VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Background
The LTE voice solution is as follows:
l Voice solution based on dual-standby UEs

A dual-standby UE is capable of receiving or sending signals in both E-UTRAN and
GERAN or UTRAN. Dual-standby UEs automatically select GERAN or UTRAN to
perform voice services and select E-UTRAN to perform data services. That is, the E-
UTRAN provides dual-standby UEs with only data services.
l Voice solution based on CSFB
In the initial phase of LTE network deployment, CSFB is a transitional solution to
provide voice services for LTE users if the IMS is not yet deployed. Figure 2-1 shows
the voice solution based on CSFB.
Figure 2-1 Voice solution based on CSFB
With the CSFB solution, when a UE initiates a CS service in the E-UTRAN, the MME
instructs the UE to fall back to the legacy CS domain of the GERAN or UTRAN before

eRAN
the UE performs the service. For details about CSFB, see CS Fallback Feature
l Voice solution based on IMS
This 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. This solution is also termed as the Voice over LTE (VoLTE) solution.
When LTE coverage has not been 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:
– 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 about SRVCC, see SRVCC Feature
– 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 about PS
handovers, see Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature
Figure 2-2 Voice solution based on IMS
2.2 Introduction
VoLTE is the voice service supported by the IP transmission network between UEs in the E-
UTRAN and the IMS. That is, with VoLTE, UEs in the LTE network can perform voice
services directly.
Emergency services are not described in this document. For details about emergency services,
see Emergency Call Feature Parameter Description.

eRAN
2.3 Benefits
VoLTE provides UEs in the E-UTRAN with voice services, without the need of falling back
to GERAN or UTRAN. VoLTE features the following characteristics:
l Higher spectral efficiency

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

Multirate (AMR). For details about its voice traffic model, see
3.1 Speech Codec Scheme and Traffic Model.
VoLTE voice policy During the attach procedure, the UE negotiates with the MME
selection and selects VoLTE as the voice policy. For details about voice
policy selection, see 3.2 VoLTE Voice Policy Selection.
Radio bearer Radio bearers with QoS class identifiers (QCIs) of 1 and 5 are
management set up between the calling and called UEs to carry
conversational voice and signaling, respectively. For details

Name
Quality Voice characteristic During uplink dynamic scheduling, the eNodeB

improveme awareness scheduling adjusts the scheduling priorities of UEs based
nt on their waiting time and estimates the voice
volume to be dynamically scheduled in the
uplink. An independent inactivity timer is
configured for voice services. The purpose is to
improve voice quality, decrease the service
drop rate, and increase the proportion of
satisfied voice service users.

Uplink compensation For each voice user, the eNodeB measures the
scheduling duration in which the user is not scheduled in
the uplink. If the duration reaches a threshold,
the eNodeB performs uplink compensation
scheduling for the UE. The purpose is to ensure
that uplink voice packets can be timely

allows the establishment, access, incoming handover, and reestablishment of the
dedicated bearer with a QCI of 1.

eRAN
3.1 Speech Codec Scheme and Traffic Model

The speech codec scheme is classified into AMR and G.7 series. VoLTE uses the AMR-based
speech codec scheme.
AMR
Adaptive Multi Rate (AMR) is an audio data compression scheme optimized for speech
coding and is now widely used in GERAN and UTRAN. AMR is classified into adaptive
multirate wideband (AMR-WB) and adaptive multirate narrowband (AMR-NB).
l AMR-NB has eight speech coding rates. They are 12.2 kbit/s, 10.2 kbit/s, 7.95 kbit/s, 7.4
kbit/s, 6.7 kbit/s, 5.9 kbit/s, 5.15 kbit/s, and 4.75 kbit/s.
l AMR-WB has nine speech coding rates. They are 23.85 kbit/s, 23.05 kbit/s, 19.85 kbit/s,
18.25 kbit/s, 15.85 kbit/s, 14.25 kbit/s, 12.65 kbit/s, 8.85 kbit/s, and 6.6 kbit/s.
NOTE
AMR-NB herein corresponds to AMR in the protocol.
Figure 3-1 shows the voice service traffic model when AMR is used as the codec scheme for
VoLTE services. Whether AMR-WB or AMR-NB is used is negotiated between the UEs and
the IMS.
Figure 3-1 Voice traffic model
There are two VoLTE traffic states:
l Talk spurts
During talk spurts, the uplink of UEs transmits voice packets or the downlink of UEs
receives voice packets. Voice packets are transmitted at intervals of 20 ms, and the
packet size is determined by the speech coding rate.
l Silent period
During silent periods, the UE transmits silence insertion descriptor (SID) frames or
receives SID frames at intervals of 160 ms. For different AMR speech codec rates, the
SID frame sizes are all 56 bits.
The differences between talk spurts and silent period are as follows:
l The size of voice frames is greater than the size of SID frames.

eRAN
l The interval between neighboring voice frames is different from the interval between
SID frames.
The eNodeB distinguishes between voice frames and SID frames based on the preceding
differences.
G.7 Series
The widely used G.7 series standards include G.711, G.729, and G.726.
l G.711
G.711, also known as pulse code modulation (PCM), is primarily used in fixed-line
telephony. It supports a coding rate of 64 kbit/s.
l G.729
G.729, known for the high voice quality and low delay, is widely used in various
domains of data communications. It supports a coding rate of 8 kbit/s.
l G.726
G.726 supports coding rates of 16 kbit/s to 40 kbit/s. The most commonly used rate is 32
kbit/s. In actual application, voice packets are sent at intervals of 20 ms.
3.2 VoLTE Voice Policy Selection

UE capability and configurations on the MME determine whether a UE uses VoLTE.
However, VoLTE may be inappropriate for certain sites or regions. This case is termed as
VoLTE-prohibited scenario.
This section describes voice policy selection for UEs in common and VoLTE-prohibited
scenarios.
3.2.1 Common Scenarios
3.2.1.1 General Principles for Voice Policy Selection

During the UE attach and tracking area update (TAU) period, the MME selects a voice policy
based on the UE capability and configuration on the MME side. The MME then sends the UE
the voice policy contained in the Attach Accept and TAU Accept messages. During voice
policy selection, the MME selects a voice policy based on the following principles:
l If the UE supports only CSFB, the corresponding voice policy is CS Voice only.
l If the UE supports only VoLTE, the corresponding voice policy is 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 specified by operators during UE
registration:
– CS Voice only
That is, CSFB.
– IMS PS Voice only
That is, VoLTE.

eRAN
– Prefer CS Voice with IMS PS Voice as secondary

That is, CSFB takes precedence over VoLTE.
For details about the voice policy negotiation procedures 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
That is, VoLTE takes precedence over CSFB.
Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3 show the voice policy negotiation procedures between
the UE and MME when this policy is used. For details about the voice service
policy negotiation, see Annex A.2 in 3GPP TS 23.221 V9.4.0.
Figure 3-2 Procedures for voice policy selection (non-combined attach)

eRAN
Figure 3-3 Procedures for voice policy selection (combined attach)
3GPP Release 11 introduced VoLTE mobility capability decision, which further helps the
MME in selecting a VoLTE policy.
3.2.1.2 VoLTE Mobility Capability Decision
Figure 3-4 Signaling procedure of VoLTE mobility capability decision
1. During the UE attach period, the MME sends the UE Radio Capability Match Request
message to the eNodeB to query whether the UE has the VoLTE mobility capability.
2. If the eNodeB does not receive the UE radio capability message from the UE, the
eNodeB sends a UE Capability Enquiry message to the UE.
3. The UE reports its radio capability through the UE Capability Information message. For
details, see section 5.6.3 "UE Capability Transfer" in 3GPP TS 36.331 R10.

eRAN
4. If the eNodeB determines that the UE can ensure mobility after the UE performs VoLTE
services, the eNodeB replies the MME with the decision result through the UE Radio
Capability Match Response message.
The SupportS1UeCapMatchMsg option of the GlobalProcSwitch.ProtocolSupportSwitch
parameter specifies whether the eNodeB supports the VoLTE mobility decision.
l When the SupportS1UeCapMatchMsg(SupportS1UeCapMatchMsg) option is
selected, the UE can ensure mobility after the performing VoLTE services if the UE
meets any of the following conditions:
– The UE supports UTRAN and SRVCC from E-UTRAN to UTRAN.
– The UE supports GERAN and SRVCC from E-UTRAN to GERAN.
– The UE supports the PS domain of UTRAN-FDD (VoHSPA), SRVCC from the PS
domain to the CS domain of UTRAN-FDD, and SRVCC from the PS domain of
UTRAN-FDD to the CS domain of GERAN.
– The UE supports the PS domain of UTRAN-TDD (VoHSPA), SRVCC from the PS
domain to the CS domain of UTRAN-TDD, and SRVCC from the PS domain of
UTRAN-TDD to the CS domain of GERAN.
l When the SupportS1UeCapMatchMsg option is deselected, the eNodeB does not
perform VoLTE mobility capability decision. In this case, the eNodeB replies ERROR
INDICATION when receiving the UE RADIO CAPABILTY MATCH REQUEST
message. If the UE uses VoLTE but does not support SRVCC, VoLTE mobility cannot be
ensured.
NOTE
The UE RADIO CAPABILTY MATCH REQUEST message is introduced in 3GPP Release 11.
The MME informs the eNodeB of the MME's SRVCC capability in the Initial UE Context Setup
message.
l After the eNodeB obtains the MME's SRVCC capability, it also considers the MME's capability
while determining the preceding conditions. Otherwise, the eNodeB replies to the eNodeB that the
VoLTE mobility cannot be ensured.
l If the eNodeB is not informed of the MME's SRVCC capability, for example, the UE RADIO
CAPABILTY MATCH REQUEST message arrives at the eNodeB earlier than the Initial UE Context
Setup message, the eNodeB does not consider the MME's capability while determining UE voice
service continuity.
3.2.2 VoLTE-Prohibited Scenario

The E-UTRAN supports VoLTE after the IMS is deployed. However, a non-VoLTE solution
(such as CSFB) is used in the following scenarios because VoLTE is not appropriate for these
scenarios:
l Transmission delay is large.
Voice services have high requirements on end-to-end delay. Figure 3-5 shows the
relationship between end-to-end delay and perceived voice quality, as per ITU-T
Recommendation G.114. As shown in the figure, the end-to-end delay threshold to
achieve very satisfied user experience is 200 ms, and that to achieve satisfied user
experience is 275 ms. That is, VoLTE users become dissatisfied on voice quality when
the end-to-end delay exceeds 275 ms. The recommended packet delay budget for the Uu
interface is 80 ms, as per Table 6.1.7: Standardized QCI characteristics in section 6.1.7.2
"Standardized QCI characteristics" of 3GPP TS 23.203. The delay budget between the
EPC and eNodeB is 20 ms. 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.

eRAN
Figure 3-5 Relationship between delay and voice quality
l Voice services are not allowed on certain frequency bands.

Certain operators expect that some frequency bands such as LTE TDD bands do not
serve voice service but serve only data services.
MMEs are required in the preceding scenarios to prohibit VoLTE in certain areas.
Operators can allocate dedicated tracking area identities (TAIs) to regions. After setting
dedicated TAIs on the MME, areas in such scenarios use CSFB instead of VoLTE. During the
Attach and tracking area update (TAU), UEs negotiate or re-negotiate with the MME about
voice policies. Voice policy negotiation between the UE and the MME is transparent to the
eNodeB.
You can turn off the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch switch for eNodeBs

with dedicated TAIs working in the preceding scenarios. For eNodeBs with non-dedicated
TAIs, you can select the VoipHoControlSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter and configure the VoLTE handover blacklist
in the EUTRANVOIPHOBLKLIST MO. This prevents UEs performing voice services from
being handed over to these eNodeBs or reestablished on the eNodeBs.
After the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch switch is turned off and VoLTE is

disabled for a specific tracking area on the MME, the statistics about VoLTE-related KPIs
such as E-RAB Setup Success Rate (VoIP) become 0.
The following is an example.
The MCC and MNC of a network are 001 and 02, respectively. In this network, tracking area
code (TAC) 1 corresponds to eNodeB A, and the other TACs correspond to eNodeBs B to Z.
CSFB is to be used in the area that is labeled TAC 1.
The configurations are as follows:
1. On the MME, configure CSFB for TAC1.

eRAN
2. On eNodeB A, run the following command:

MOD ENODEBALGOSWITCH:EutranVoipSupportSwitch=OFF;
3. (Optional) On eNodeBs B to Z, perform the following command:

MOD ENODEBALGOSWITCH:EutranVoipSupportSwitch=ON;
4. On eNodeBs B to Z, run the following command:

MOD ENODEBALGOSWITCH:HoAlgoSwitch=VoipHoControlSwitch-1;
5. On eNodeBs B to Z, run the following command:

ADD EUTRANVOIPHOBLKLIST: Mcc="001", Mnc="02", Tac=TAC1;
NOTE
In the preceding VoLTE-prohibited scenarios, when a UE performing voice 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 TAC 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 about the VoLTE handover blacklist and target cell selection procedures for VoLTE
handovers, see Intra-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description.
l Voice services are not allowed on certain frequencies.
The EutranInterNFreq.VolteHoTargetInd parameter is set to
NOT_ALLOWED(NOT_ALLOWED) for frequencies that do not support voice
services. The eNodeB filters such frequencies during measurement or blind handover in
inter-frequency handovers for VoLTE services.
3.3 Radio Bearer Management
3.3.1 Radio Bearer Setup

From the perspective of eNodeBs, voice session setup includes the following procedures:
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 the calling and called UEs.

eRAN
Figure 3-6 Voice session setup process
The process is as follows:

1. In the RRC connection setup procedure, a radio connection is set up between a UE and
an eNodeB so that the UE can send service requests and data packets to upper-layer NEs.
2. In the EPS bearer setup (QCI 5) procedure, a QCI 5 radio bearer is set up for signaling
exchange between the UE and the IMS.
3. After the QCI 5 radio bearer is set up, the calling 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 establishment (QCI 1) procedure, a QCI 1 radio bearer is set up to
carry voice packets.

eRAN
NOTE
If VoLTE is determined as the voice solution for a UE according to negotiation with the MME, a QCI 5
radio bearer is set up when the UE enters RRC_CONNECTED mode, irrespective of whether the UE is
performing a voice service or not.
When ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch is set to OFF(Off), the eNodeB cannot set up
QCI 1 radio bearers (the eNodeB sends to the EPC a message containing the cause value "Not supported
QCI Value") but can set up QCI 5 radio bearers.
If the UE initiates a conversational video service, a radio bearer (QCI 2) is also set up in the preceding
procedures.
eNodeBs provide the following QCI 1-specific timer settings:
ENodeBConnStateTimer.S1MsgWaitingTimerQci1,
ENodeBConnStateTimer.X2MessageWaitingTimerQci1,
ENodeBConnStateTimer.UuMessageWaitingTimerQci1,
RrcConnStateTimer.UeInactiveTimerQci1, and CellQciPara.TrafficRelDelay. For details about these
parameters, see Connection Management Feature Parameter Description.
The eNodeB supports configuration of the CellHoParaCfg.HoMrDelayTimerQci1 parameter for QCI 1.
After bearers for QCI 1 are successfully set up, the eNodeB returns an E-RAB SETUP RESPONSE
message to start the timer specified by CellHoParaCfg.HoMrDelayTimerQci1. The eNodeB does not
process inter-eNodeB handover measurement reports (MRs) until the timer stops. The eNodeB stops the
timer when it receives an UPLINK NAS TRANSPORT message or the timer expires. The purpose of
this timer is to ensure that the UPLINK NAS TRANSPORT message for a dedicated bearer is
successfully sent to the EPC and to prevent the EPC from releasing the voice bearer due to not receiving
the NAS response message.
3.3.2 Radio Bearer QoS Management

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

eRAN
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 (including the following key QoS parameters: QCI, ARP, GBR, and
MBR) and sends the rule to the P-GW over the Gx interface.
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 3-1 lists their QoS parameters. QoS parameters are set in QciPara
MOs, and 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, see 3GPP 23.203.
Table 3-1 QoS parameters for conversational voice, conversational video, and IMS
signaling

5 Non-GBR 1 100 ms 10-6 IMS signaling
NOTE
A smaller priority value indicates a higher priority.

For details about 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 Feature Parameter Description.
The eNodeB performs admission and congestion control for conversational voice (QCI of 1)
and IMS signaling (QCI of 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 the usage of physical resource blocks

eRAN
(PRBs), QoS satisfaction rates of GBR services, and resource insufficiency indicators. In this
way, the eNodeB can know the current status of a cell.
Conversational Voice (QCI 1)

For the method of calculating the QoS satisfaction rate of QCI 1, see Admission and
Congestion Control Feature Parameter Description.
IMS Signaling (QCI 5)

QCI 5 indicates non-GBR services. There is no need to calculate their QoS satisfaction rates.
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 PRB usage, QoS satisfaction rates of GBR services, and resource
insufficiency indicators. For details, see Admission and Congestion Control Feature

The admission control of GBR services with a QCI of 1is performed based on load-based
decisions.

Admission control for non-GBR services (QCI 5) is not based on load. If SRS and PUCCH
resources are successfully allocated, non-GBR services (QCI 5) are directly admitted.
NOTE
The allocation of SRS resources needs to be considered during admission control of non-GBR services
(QCI 5) only when the eNodeB is configured with the LBBPc. The services can be admitted only after
SRS resources are successfully allocated.
Even if the PreemptionSwitch option under the CellAlgoSwitch.RacAlgoSwitch parameter

is selected, IMS signaling (QCI 5) cannot be preempted.
3.4.4 Congestion Control

When the network is congested, the eNodeB preferentially releases low-priority GBR services
to free up resources for other services. For details, see Admission and Congestion Control
Feature Parameter Description.

The eNodeB monitors PRB usage and QoS satisfaction rate to evaluate load status. When the
eNodeB determines that a cell is congested, the eNodeB rejects service access requests and
triggers congestion control to decrease load. The congestion threshold is specified the
CellRacThd.Qci1CongThd parameter. For details about how to set this parameter, see

eRAN

3.5 Dynamic Scheduling and Power Control
3.5.1 Dynamic Scheduling

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

l The CellDlschAlgo.DlschStrategy parameter is set to DLSCH_PRI_TYPE_EPF.
On commercial LTE networks, the EPF scheduling policy is used in the uplink and downlink
by default.
For details about dynamic scheduling for voice services, see Scheduling Feature Parameter
Description.
Uplink Dynamic Scheduling

When uplink dynamic scheduling uses the enhanced proportional fair (EPF) algorithm, the
priority of conversational voice (QCI of 1) is lower than the priorities of data retransmitted
using HARQ, signaling radio bearer 1 (SRB1), SRB2, and IMS signaling (QCI of 5), but
higher than the priorities of other initially transmitted data.
It is recommended that the UlVoipRblerControlSwitch option of the

CELLULSCHALGO.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw parameter be selected when dynamic
scheduling is used and there are voice services. Selecting this option decreases the packet loss
rate of voice services and improves user experience on voice services. For cells where this
switch is turned on, the eNodeB determines whether to use the adaptive retransmission for
prioritized RBs for the last two retransmissions based on the number of retransmissions and
transmit power of UEs with voice services.
Uplink voice preallocation is introduced to reduce 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 UlVoipPreAllocationSwtich option of the
CellUlschAlgo.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw parameter.

eRAN
Downlink Dynamic Scheduling

When dynamic scheduling is used, the scheduling priority is related to whether the
LOFD-001109 DL Non-GBR Packet Bundling feature is enabled:
l If the LOFD-001109 DL Non-GBR Packet Bundling feature is not enabled: When the
EPF downlink scheduling algorithm is used, the priority for scheduling voice packets
(QCI of 1) is lower than that for scheduling common control messages, user-level control
messages, IMS signaling (QCI of 5), HARQ retransmission data, and RLC AM status
report. However, the priority for scheduling voice packets (QCI of 1) is higher than that
for scheduling initial transmission data.
l If the LOFD-001109 DL Non-GBR Packet Bundling feature is enabled: The priority for
scheduling voice packets (QCI of 1) is no longer higher than that for scheduling initial
transmission data. Instead, the eNodeB sorts overall priorities.
When dynamic scheduling is used, the MCS selection policy is related to the value of the
VoipTbsBasedMcsSelSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.DlSchSwitch parameter.
l When this option is selected, the eNodeB checks the number of online VoLTE
subscribers and IBLER and then determines whether to apply the TBS-based MCS
selection function to voice services. TBS is short for transport block size. If the function
takes effect on voice services, the eNodeB makes decisions based on the packet size
during a voice call to select a relatively low MCS 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 about the downlink CQI
adjustment algorithm, see Scheduling Feature Parameter Description.
When dynamic scheduling is used for voice services, it is recommended that the
DlRetxTbsIndexAdjOptSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.CqiAdjAlgoSwitch parameter
be turned on to reduce the voice packet loss rate and improve voice user experience. For
details about this switch, see Scheduling Feature Parameter Description.
When dynamic scheduling is used, you can select the DlVoipBundlingSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.DlSchSwitch parameter to enable active packet bundling for downlink
VoLTE services. In this way, two or more voice packets can be bundled for scheduling, which
saves PDCCH CCE resources for downlink VoLTE services.
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 about voice service power control policies when dynamic scheduling is
used for voice services, see Power Control Feature Parameter Description.

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

eRAN
4.1 Capacity Enhancement

The following features can be enabled to increase capacity for voice services:
l Semi-persistent scheduling and power control
When the capacity is low due to high PDCCH overheads, these features can be used to
reduce PDCCH overheads and therefore increase the maximum number of VoLTE users
or the throughput of data services (provided that the number of VoLTE users remains
unchanged).
l Uplink delay-based dynamic scheduling
When there are too many VoLTE users, this feature can be used to improve the
performance of cell edge users (CEUs) by sacrificing the performance of cell center
users (CCUs) and increase the proportion of satisfied VoLTE users.
l ROHC
By compressing the headers of voice packets, this feature reduces air interface overheads
and increase the maximum number of VoLTE users or the throughput of data services
(provided that the number of VoLTE users remains unchanged).
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, time-frequency resource or 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.
Figure 4-1 Resource allocation for dynamic scheduling

eRAN
Huawei introduces the VoLTE semi-persistent scheduling feature for small-packet services
that are periodically transmitted such as VoLTE. Before entering talk spurts, the eNodeB
allocates fixed resources to UEs through the 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. If the semi-persistent
scheduling intervals are small, the scheduling delay of voice packets is small, which means
that users performing voice services can enjoy higher voice quality.
NOTE
CellUlschAlgo.UlSpsInterval and CellUlschAlgo.DlSpsInterval cannot be set to

ADAPTIVE(ADAPTIVE) in LTE FDD mode. Otherwise, the actual semi-persistent scheduling
intervals are 20 ms.
Figure 4-2 Resource allocation for semi-persistent scheduling
The eNodeB configures semi-persistent scheduling parameters for UEs supporting semi-
persistent scheduling in the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message during DRB setup for
QCI of 1. The eNodeB activates UL or DL semi-persistent scheduling for UEs when UEs
meet the UL or DL semi-persistent scheduling activation conditions. The eNodeB instructs
UEs to activate UL or DL semi-persistent scheduling through the PDCCH Order notification.
For details about the PDCCH Order format, see section 9.2 "PDCCH/EPDCCH validation for
semi-persistent scheduling" in 3GPP TS 36.213 V12.3.0.

eRAN
Effect Period
Figure 4-3 Semi-persistent scheduling effect period
In talk spurt, uplink or downlink semi-persistent scheduling takes effect when all the
following conditions are met:
l The following options are selected:
– The SpsSchSwitch option of the CELLALGOSWITCH.UlSchSwitch parameter
in the uplink
– The SpsSchSwitch option of the CELLALGOSWITCH.DlSchSwitch parameter
in the downlink.
l The UE supports semi-persistent scheduling.
l The UE performing voice services is in uplink or downlink talk spurts.
l The uplink or downlink for the UE has only one dedicated bearer for services with QCI
of 1. For the uplink, there is no data transmission 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, that is, the size of the ROHC header is relatively stable.
During talk spurts, eNodeBs use dynamic scheduling in the following scenarios:
l Transmission of large packets, such as channel-associated signaling or uncompressed
packets generated when the ROHC feature updates contexts
l Downlink semi-persistent retransmission
l Uplink semi-persistent adaptive retransmission
NOTE
When the UE uses semi-persistent scheduling, the highest MCS index is only 15.
Uplink Semi-Persistent Scheduling

During semi-persistent scheduling, the eNodeB determines the modulation and coding
scheme (MCS) and the number of PRBs based on the following items:

eRAN
l Voice packet size (ROHC disabled) or size of compressed voice packets (ROHC
enabled)
l Wideband signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR)
After uplink semi-persistent scheduling is activated, the UE periodically sends data and the
eNodeB periodically receives data using the uplink semi-persistently allocated resources. In
addition, the eNodeB checks whether the MCS allocated in uplink semi-persistent scheduling
matches the current channel status. If the MCS does not match the current channel status, the
eNodeB activates semi-persistent scheduling again.
After the eNodeB triggers a UE to enter uplink semi-persistent scheduling, the

logicalChannelSR-Mask-r9 IE in the RRC Reconfiguration message instructs the UE not to
send scheduling requests over the radio bearers for QCI of 1. This reduces UE power
consumption. The CellULSchAlgo.SrMaskSwitch parameter controls this function. It is
recommended that both this function and uplink semi-persistent scheduling be enabled. This
function takes effect only on UEs that comply with 3GPP Release 9 or later.
When the number of empty packets received by the eNodeB in uplink semi-persistent
scheduling exceeds the value of CellUlschAlgo.SpsRelThd, the eNodeB automatically
releases semi-persistently allocated resources.
Downlink Semi-Persistent Scheduling

During semi-persistent scheduling, the eNodeB determines the MCS and the number of PRBs
based on the following items:
l Voice packet size (ROHC disabled) or size of compressed voice packets (ROHC
enabled)
l Wideband 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 MCS
allocated in semi-persistent scheduling matches the current channel status. If the MCS does
not match the current channel status, the eNodeB activates semi-persistent scheduling again.
There are two scenarios:
l If the periodically measured IBLER is greater than the

CellDlschAlgo.DlSpsMcsDecreaseIblerThd parameter value, the eNodeB lowers the
MCS and activates downlink semi-persistent scheduling again.
l If the periodically measured IBLER is lower than 5%, the eNodeB increases the MCS
and activates downlink semi-persistent scheduling again. The DlSpsMcsIncreaseSwitch
option of the CellAlgoSwitch.CqiAdjAlgoSwitch parameter specifies whether to enable
MCS index increase for semi-persistent scheduling.
According to 3GPP TS 36.321 and 3GPP 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(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.

eRAN
Load-based scheduling
For voice services, there are two scheduling modes, as compared in Table 4-1.

scheduling
For newly originated voice services, load-based scheduling allows the eNodeB to adaptively
select dynamic or semi-persistent scheduling based on service load in both uplink and
downlink.
l When the load is high, the eNodeB applies semi-persistent scheduling to avoid PDCCH
overload and the impact on voice quality and capacity.
l When the load is low, the eNodeB applies dynamic scheduling to provide better
experience on voice services and improve spectral efficiency.
Load-based scheduling in the uplink and downlink is controlled by different options:
l The UlVoIPLoadBasedSchSwitch option of the
CellUlSchAlgo.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw parameter controls load-based scheduling in the
uplink.
l The DlVoIPLoadBasedSchSwitch option of the
CellDlSchAlgo.DlEnhancedVoipSchSw parameter controls load-based scheduling in the
downlink.
4.1.1.2 Power Control in Semi-Persistent Scheduling

This section describes voice service power control policies when semi-persistent scheduling is
used for VoLTE. For details about power control, see Power Control Feature Parameter
Description.
When semi-persistent scheduling is used for VoLTE in the downlink, power control is not
performed. Instead, the eNodeB transmit power is evenly shared by each PRB.
When semi-persistent scheduling is used for VoLTE in the uplink, closed-loop power control
for the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) can be enabled or disabled by setting the
CloseLoopSpsSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.UlPcAlgoSwitch parameter.
l If the CloseLoopSpsSwitch option is selected, the eNodeB adjusts transmit power for
the PUSCH based on the measured IBLER of voice services.
l If the CloseLoopSpsSwitch option is deselected, the eNodeB uses open-loop (not
closed-loop) power control for the PUSCH.
The SpsAndDrxOptSwitch option of the CellUlSchAlgo.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw parameter
is used to control optimization of cooperation between semi-persistent scheduling and DRX.

eRAN
l When this option is selected:

– If the tpc_RNTI request fails, semi-persistent scheduling does not take effect for the
UE. This avoids the following situation: Packet loss occurs because the eNodeB
cannot send semi-persistent TPC commands.
– If DRX is enabled, semi-persistent TPC commands must be sent only during the
DRX On Duration period. Otherwise, dynamic scheduling instead of semi-
persistent scheduling can take effect for the UE. This avoids the following situation:
Packet loss occurs because the UE does not receive semi-persistent TPC commands
from the eNodeB.
l When this option is deselected:
– If the tpc_RNTI request fails, semi-persistent scheduling may still take effect for the
UE but the packet loss rate may increase.
– If DRX is enabled, semi-persistent TPC commands may not be sent during the
DRX On Duration period but the packet loss rate may increase.
NOTE
If the CloseLoopSpsSwitch option is deselected, the corresponding tpc-RNTI of the PUSCH cannot be
requested. If the SpsAndDrxOptSwitch option is selected, uplink semi-persistent scheduling cannot
take effect for the UE.
4.1.2 ROHC
This section describes how the optional feature LOFD-001017 RObust Header Compression
(ROHC) works for VoLTE. For details about this feature, see ROHC Feature Parameter
Description.
ROHC provides an efficient header compression mechanism for data packets transmitted on
radio links to solve the problems of high bit error rates (BERs) and long round trip time
(RTT). ROHC helps reduce header overheads, lower the packet loss rate, and shorten
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 physical
resource block (PRB) overheads. When PRBs are insufficient, ROHC helps increase system
capacity.
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

eRAN
compression modes for streams with different types of protocol headers. Voice services use
profiles 0x0001 and 0x0002.
The ROHC compression efficiency varies with the ROHC operating mode and variations 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

Operators can enable the following features to improve voice service coverage in poor
coverage scenarios:
l TTI Bundling
l ROHC
l Uplink RLC segmentation enhancement
l VoLTE Rate Control
4.2.1 LOFD-001048 TTI Bundling

This section describes the principles of the optional feature LOFD-001048 TTI Bundling and
how this feature 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 the UE's channel quality is poor and transmit power is limited, TTI bundling increases
the cell edge coverage of the PUSCH by about 1 dB. 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.
The TtiBundlingSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.UlSchSwitch parameter determines
whether to enable TTI bundling. When this option is selected, the eNodeB determines
whether to activate TTI bundling based on the channel quality. After activating TTI bundling,
the eNodeB determines the number of PRBs and selects an MCS based on the channel quality
and the amount of data to be transmitted.
According to section 8.6.1 "Modulation order and redundancy version determination" in
3GPP TS 36.213 V10.1.0, when TTI bundling is enabled, the resource allocation size is
restricted to a maximum of three PRBs and the modulation scheme must be QPSK. Therefore,
the selected MCS index cannot be greater than 10. After TTI bundling is enabled, the
maximum available TBS is as large as 504 bits. Voice services are delay-sensitive. If higher-
layer data is not transmitted within the specified delay budget, voice quality deteriorates. To
prevent this, TTI bundling is disabled when a G.711-defined high speech codec rate is used.
4.2.1.2 Principles
Entry into the TTI Bundling State

In eRAN8.1, the CellUlschAlgo.TtiBundlingTriggerStrategy parameter is introduced.

eRAN
l When the TtiBundlingTriggerStrategy parameter is set to

SERVICE_VOIP(SERVICE_VOIP), TTI bundling applies to only VoLTE. Under this
parameter setting, the conditions for entering the TTI bundling state are as follows:
– The TtiBundlingSwitch of the eNodeB is turned on.
– The UE supports TTI bundling.
– The UE has only one QCI 1 dedicated bearer and stays in the talk spurts state. In
addition, the UE does not have data to transmit on the data bearer.
– The UL power of the UE is limited.
– The measured SINR is less than the target SINR for multiple consecutive times.
The number of consecutive times is specified by
CellUlschAlgo.StatisticNumThdForTtibTrig.
If the UE meets all these conditions, the eNodeB sends the UE an RRC Connection
Reconfiguration message, instructing the UE to enter the TTI bundling state.
l When the TtiBundlingTriggerStrategy parameter is set to
SERVICE_MULTIAPP(SERVICE_MULTIAPP), TTI bundling can apply to VoLTE
or a combination of VoLTE and data. Under this parameter setting, the conditions for
entering the TTI bundling state are as follows:
– The TtiBundlingSwitch of the eNodeB is turned on.
– The UE supports TTI bundling.
– The UE has a QCI 1 dedicated bearer.
– The UL power of the UE is limited.
– The measured SINR is less than the target SINR for multiple consecutive times.
The number of consecutive times is specified by
CellUlschAlgo.StatisticNumThdForTtibTrig.
If the UE meets all these conditions, the eNodeB sends the UE an RRC Connection
Reconfiguration message, instructing the UE to enter the TTI bundling state.
The target SINR is controlled by CellTtiBundlingAlgo.SinrThdToTrigTtib. If this parameter
is set to 255, the target SINR is dynamically calculated based on the size of voice packets.
Data Block Transmission

For the UE in the TTI bundling state, the eNodeB determines the number of PRBs and MCS
based on channel quality and the amount of data to transmit. Then, the eNodeB transmits data
blocks.
As shown in Figure 4-5 , the UE transmits identical data within four consecutive TTIs in a
bundle and performs HARQ retransmission also within four TTIs in a bundle. The
retransmission operates in synchronous non-adaptive mode. The four uplink subframes have
only one piece of PHICH feedback. The HARQ retransmission interval is changed from 8
TTIs (Normal HARQ RTT) to 16 TTIs (Bundle HARQ RTT).
Take the transmission of a data block as an example. Assume that the UE transmits the data
block in a bundle of TTIs, among which the last TTI is numbered N. The eNodeB sends an
ACK or NACK as feedback to the UE in the (N + 4)th TTI. Based on the feedback, the UE
determines whether a retransmission is required. If it is required, the UE retransmits the data
block in the (N + 13)th through (N + 16)th TTIs.
When the UE is in the TTI bundling state, the maximum number of uplink HARQ
retransmissions is specified by the CellUlschAlgo.TtiBundlingHarqMaxTxNum parameter.

eRAN
Figure 4-5 TTI bundling
In the TTI bundling state, the number of RLC segments of a voice packet cannot be greater
than the value specified by the CellUlschAlgo.TtiBundlingRlcMaxSegNum. The number is 4
in Figure 4-6.
Figure 4-6 Collaboration between 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 pure RLC segmentation, reducing PDCCH
overheads.
Exit from TTI Bundling

The eNodeB does not instruct the UE to exit the TTI bundling state even when the UE has
data to transmit on the default bearer, needs to set up a new dedicated bearer, or stops the
voice service (QCI 1). The eNodeB instructs the UE to exit the TTI bundling state when the
UE meets the exit conditions, experiences handover or service drop, or needs to reestablish a
new connection.
l If the voice service is not released, the eNodeB instructs the UE to exit the TTI bundling
state through 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 voice service is released, the eNodeB instructs the UE to exit the TTI bundling
state through an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message when the measured SINR is
greater than MIN{(target SINR + CellUlschAlgo.HystToExitTtiBundling), 6 dB} for
multiple consecutive times. The number of consecutive times is specified by the
StatisticNumThdForTtibExit parameter.

eRAN
4.2.2 LOFD-001017 RObust Header Compression (ROHC)

This section describes how the optional feature LOFD-001017 RObust Header Compression
(ROHC) works for VoLTE. For details about this feature, see ROHC Feature Parameter
Description.
ROHC can compress the RTP, UDP, or IP header of a voice packet, thereby reducing the size
of the entire packet. ROHC results in a higher probability of correctly transmitting voice
packets with fewer segments and enhances the edge coverage for voice services.
4.2.3 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 UL scheduling.
The smaller the TBS, the large the number of uplink RLC segments. When channel quality is
poor and UL power is limited, a small TBS results in a large number of uplink RLC segments,
which causes:
l Long delay of voice packets
l Uplink voice packet loss (because voice packets wait in the UE buffer so long that the
packet discard timer expires)
l Large overhead of RLC and MAC headers
l Large consumption of control channel elements (CCEs) and resource blocks (RBs) by
UL dynamic scheduling of VoLTE services
Uplink RLC segmentation enhancement restricts the TBS in UL dynamic scheduling to

control the number of uplink RLC segments for voice packets. This restriction improves voice
quality when channel quality is poor.
The CellAlgoSwitch.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum parameter is introduced to control the

maximum number of uplink RLC segments for UEs not in the TTI bundling state.
l When the number of uplink RLC segments is less than or equal to the value of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum parameter, the number is not restricted.
l When the number of uplink RLC segments is greater than the value of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum parameter, the number is restricted. Based on
the voice packet size and the configured maximum number of RLC segments, a
minimum TBS is guaranteed in UL dynamic scheduling so that the number of uplink
RLC segments decreases to this maximum number.
This function takes effect when all the following conditions are met:
l The CellAlgoSwitch.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum parameter is set to a none-zero value.

l The GLOBALPROCSWITCH.LcgProfile parameter is set to LCG_PROFILE_0 or
LCG_PROFILE_2.
This function does not take effect when one of the following conditions is met:
l The CellAlgoSwitch.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum parameter is set to 0.

l The GLOBALPROCSWITCH.LcgProfile parameter is set to LCG_PROFILE_1.
l The UE enters the TTI bundling state.

eRAN
NOTE
This function applies only to services with QCI of 1.

When the CellAlgoSwitch.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum parameter is set to the recommended value, this
function increases the MOS of VoIP users who do not support TTI bundling by about 0.3 in uplink weak
coverage areas.
4.2.4 LOFD-111207 VoLTE Rate Control

This section describes the optional feature LOFD-111207 VoLTE Rate Control.
4.2.4.1 Introduction
VoLTE Rate Control adjusts the AMR-NB/AMR-WB rate for uplink voice services depending
on the uplink channel quality and voice quality.
l When the uplink channel quality and voice quality are favorable, a high voice coding
rate is used to further improve voice quality.
l When the uplink channel quality and voice quality are poor, a low voice coding rate is
used to reduce the uplink packet loss rate and improve uplink voice coverage. In
scenarios where downlink coverage is limited prior to uplink coverage (for example, in
the coverage area of a micro or LampSite base station), UEs' uplink channel quality and
voice quality may not meet the conditions for using low voice coding rates. In such
scenarios, it is difficult to trigger the decrease of voice coding rates.
4.2.4.2 Principles
Voice Rate Adjustment

The eNodeB determines whether to adjust the voice rate depending on the uplink channel
quality and voice quality. If yes, the eNodeB or SBC adjusts the voice rate of the UE. Voice
rate adjustment is controlled by the CellAlgoSwitch.UlAmrcMode parameter as follows:
l If this parameter is set to
ULAMRC_ENB_CONTROL(ULAMRC_ENB_CONTROL), the eNodeB adjusts the
voice rate of the UE, as shown in Figure 4-7.
ULAMRC_SBC_CONTROL(ULAMRC_SBC_CONTROL), the eNodeB requests
the SBC, through RTCP, to adjust the voice rate of the UE. 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, as shown in Figure 4-8.

eRAN
Figure 4-7 Voice rate adjusted by the eNodeB
Figure 4-8 Voice rate adjusted by the SBC
As shown in Figure 4-9, the VoLTE Rate Control feature supports the following rates for
AMR-NB services: 12.2 kbit/s, 7.4 kbit/s, and 4.75 kbit/s; the VoLTE Rate Control feature
supports the following rates for AMR-WB services: 23.85 kbit/s, 12.65 kbit/s, and 6.6 kbit/s.
Both rates in each AMR group can be allocated to a UE.
AMR groups are controlled by the following parameters:
l VoiceAmrControl.VoiceAmrCtrlParaGroupId
l VoiceAmrControl. HighAmrCodingMode
l VoiceAmrControl. LowAmrCodingMode
NOTE
The VoLTE Rate Control feature supports rate adjustment within AMR-NB services or within AMR-WB
services, not between AMR-NB and AMR-WB services.
Figure 4-9 is only an example. In actual configuration, you can configure 12.2 kbit/s and 4.75 kbit/s as
AMR Group 0 and 23.85 kbit/s and 6.6 kbit/s as AMR Group 1 so that UE rates can be adjusted between
the highest and lowest rates.

eRAN
Figure 4-9 Example of AMR voice rate adjustment
After the VoLTE Rate Control feature is enabled:

l The AMR coding rate increases if the following conditions are both met:
– The TBS of the UE is greater than TbsUpTh.
– The uplink packet loss rate for services with a QCI of 1 is less than
VoiceAmrControl.PlrThdForIncreasingAmr for two consecutive times.
If the UlAmrcExceedingInitialSw(UlAmrcExceedingInitialSw) option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.AmrcAlgoSwitch parameter is selected, the increased coding rate can
exceed the initial coding rate of this call. Otherwise, the increased coding rate cannot
exceed the initial coding rate of this call.
l The AMR coding rate will be decreased if the following conditions are both met:
– The TBS of the UE is less than TbsDownTh.
– The uplink packet loss rate for services with a QCI of 1 is greater than
VoiceAmrControl.PlrThdForDecreasingAmr for two consecutive times.
NOTE
TbsUpTh and TbsDownTh are automatically calculated based on

VoiceAmrControl.PlrThdForIncreasingAmr and VoiceAmrControl.PlrThdForDecreasingAmr
respectively.
Inapplicable Scenarios
The VoLTE Rate Control feature does not take effect in the following scenarios:
l The voice coding format is not AMR-NB or AMR-WB.
l RTP packets are encrypted.

eRAN
The number of rates in the intersection of the rate set supported by UEs and the rate
range configured is less than or equal to 1.
If the eNodeB is used for rate adjustment and IMS signaling is encrypted:
l When UlAmrCheckSw(UlAmrCheckSw) is selected in the

CellAlgoSwitch.AmrcAlgoSwitch parameter, the VoLTE Rate Control feature does not
take effect.
l When UlAmrCheckSw(UlAmrCheckSw) is deselected in the
CellAlgoSwitch.AmrcAlgoSwitch parameter:
– If the UE supports the rate indicated by the eNodeB, the eNodeB performs rate
adjustment for the UE.
– If the UE does not support the rate indicated by the eNodeB, the eNodeB does not
perform rate adjustment for the UE.
The reason is that the eNodeB cannot obtain the rate set supported by the UE due to the

4.2.5 LOFD-081219 Inter-eNodeB VoLTE CoMP

This section briefs the optional feature LOFD-081219 Inter-eNodeB VoLTE CoMP. For
details about this feature, see UL CoMP Feature Parameter Description.
This feature takes effect only for UEs performing voice services in the serving cell. It enables
an appropriate coordinated cell to work with the serving cell of a UE to implement UL CoMP.
This feature thereby reduces the number of uplink TBs erroneously transmitted during the
initial transmission and decreases the packet loss rate, thereby improving voice quality and
edge coverage for UEs performing voice services.

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:
l UL Delay-based Dynamic Scheduling and Uplink VoLTE Volume Estimation for

Dynamic Scheduling,
which improve the voice quality in heavy-load and DRX scenarios.
l Independent Configurations for the UE Inactivity Timer for Voice Services,
which ensures the continuity of voice sessions.
Uplink Delay-based Dynamic Scheduling

For uplink delay-based dynamic scheduling, the eNodeB prioritizes voice packets based on
their waiting times. Sorting scheduling priorities based on delay for voice services brings
balanced scheduling sequence. This helps improve voice quality. Specifically, voice quality
improves for UEs far from center with poor channel quality. This feature increases the user
satisfaction rate of UEs with voice services in scenarios where voice service load is high, as
shown in Figure 4-10.
Figure 4-10 Difference before and after uplink delay-based dynamic scheduling is enabled
A longer wait time indicates a higher scheduling priority.
l When the CELLULSCHALGO.UlDelaySchStrategy parameter is set to

VOIP_DELAYSCH(VoIP Service Delay Scheduling), uplink delay-based dynamic
scheduling for VoLTE is used.
l When the CELLULSCHALGO.UlDelaySchStrategy parameter is set to
VOIP_AND_DATA_DELAYSCH(VoIP and Data Delay Scheduling), uplink delay-
based dynamic scheduling for VoLTE and data services is used to preferentially ensure
the scheduling triggered by SR and BSR of VoLTE services and to appropriately delay
the scheduling triggered by SR and BSR of data services. Compared with that set to
VOIP_DELAYSCH(VoIP Service Delay Scheduling), setting this parameter to
VOIP_AND_DATA_DELAYSCH(VoIP and Data Delay Scheduling) further improves
voice quality but may reduce the downlink throughput of data services.

eRAN
Uplink VoLTE Volume Estimation for Dynamic Scheduling

The eNodeB can obtain the accurate downlink service volume but cannot obtain the accurate
uplink service volume.
Therefore, uplink VoLTE volume estimation for dynamic scheduling is introduced to allow
the eNodeB to perform the uplink estimation based on the VoLTE model and uplink
scheduling intervals so that the scheduling can be performed in one time:
l During talk spurts, the eNodeB estimates the number of voice packets in the UE buffer
based on their uplink scheduling intervals and then calculates the volume of voice
packets based on the size of a voice packet.
l During silent periods, the eNodeB takes the size of a voice packet 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 voice packet delays. This function can
improve voice quality when the cell is heavily loaded and DRX is enabled. Figure 4-11
shows the principles.
Figure 4-11 Uplink VoLTE Volume Estimation for Dynamic Scheduling
Uplink VoLTE volume estimation for dynamic scheduling is controlled by the

UlVoLTEDataSizeEstSwitch option of the CellUlschAlgo.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw
parameter.
Independent Configurations for the UE Inactivity Timer for Voice Services

When a called UE does not answer the call, the calling UE is released after the UE inactivity
timer expires. This may interrupt the session.
When GlobalProcSwitch.QciParaEffectFlag is set to ON(On), the
QciPara.UeInactiveTimerPri parameter specifies the QCI priority.
l In dynamic DRX scenarios, the UE inactivity timer length equals
QciPara.UeInactivityTimerDynDrxQci corresponding to the highest-priority QCI.

eRAN
l In other scenarios, the UE inactivity timer length equals

QciPara.UeInactiveTimerForQci corresponding to the highest-priority QCI.
If CellAlgoSwitch.UEInactiveTimerQCI1Switch is set to ON(On), the UE inactivity
timer length is specified by QciPara.UeInactiveTimerForQci corresponding to QCI 1.
Otherwise, the UE inactivity timer length is specified by
QciPara.UeInactiveTimerForQci corresponding to QCI 5.
4.3.2 LBFD-081105 Uplink 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 4-12 shows the situation before uplink compensation scheduling is
enabled.
Figure 4-12 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. This way, this feature shortens the
waiting time of voice packets and reduces the number of packets discarded because of the
expiry of PDCP Discard Timer. Figure 4-13 shows the situation after uplink compensation
scheduling is enabled.

eRAN
Figure 4-13 Uplink compensation scheduling enabled
This feature is controlled by the UlVoipSchOptSwitch option of the

CellUlschAlgo.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw parameter value.
The CellUlschAlgo.UlCompenSchPeriodinSpurt and

CellUlschAlgo.UlCompenSchPeriodinSilence parameters indicate the minimum interval for
compensation scheduling for talk spurt and silent period, respectively.
There is certain delay in the decision of talk spurt and silent period. Therefore, uplink
compensation scheduling cannot be triggered in time during the transition from silent period
to talk spurt and during initial access. Shortening the determination delay on voice service
states in the uplink decreases the probability of the voice service state being falsely
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 rate caused
by SR missing detections, 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-081106 Voice-Specific AMC

This section describes LBFD-081105 Voice-Specific AMC.
For details about the principles and engineering guidelines of adaptive modulation and coding
(AMC), mainly MCS selection for uplink dynamic scheduling, see Scheduling Feature
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 uplink VoLTE packet loss rate and VoLTE packet delay, users can set different
target uplink IBLER values for VoLTE and data services.
l The CellAlgoSwitch.SinrAdjustTargetIbler parameter specifies the target uplink IBLER

value for data services.

eRAN
l The CellAlgoSwitch. SinrAdjTargetIblerforVoLTE parameter specifies the target uplink

IBLER value for VoLTE services. This parameter takes effect only to VoLTE UEs not in
the TTI bundling state.
Voice-specific AMC and uplink RLC segmentation enhancement can be enabled
simultaneously. Uplink RLC segmentation enhancement takes precedence if its requirements
are met.
4.3.4 Preferential Access for Voice Service
4.3.4.1 Overview
This section describes the preferential access for voice service function.
With this function, the eNodeB reserves user number resources for VoLTE voice UEs. When
the number of online UEs in a cell exceeds the difference between the maximum number of
UEs served by a cell and the reserved number of VoLTE UEs, VoLTE UEs use reserved
resources or preempt data service resources to ensure the access of VoLTE voice UEs. The
eNodeB releases data service UEs or transfers these UEs to inter-frequency or inter-RAT cells
through redirection.
The VoltePrefAdmissionSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.RacAlgoSwitch parameter
specifies whether to preferentially admit VoLTE services. The
CellRacThd.VolteReservedNumber parameter specifies the reserved number of VoLTE UEs
that can be preferentially admitted.
NOTE
Voice service herein refers to VoLTE voice services, excluding CSFB and OTT voice services.
4.3.4.2 UE Identification
The eNodeB cannot identify service types during RRC connection establishment, but VoLTE
service UEs can be identified only during E-RAB establishment.
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
bearers with QCI of 1 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.
4.3.4.3 UE Access Processing

When the preferential access for voice service function is enabled and the number of online
UEs in a cell exceeds the difference between the maximum number of UEs served by a cell
and the reserved number of VoLTE UEs, the eNodeB handles voice and data service UEs
through different policies.
l When the VoLTEPreemptionSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.RacAlgoSwitch
parameter is deselected:

eRAN
– Newly accessed VoLTE voice UEs uses user number resources reserved for VoLTE
services.
– The eNodeB transfers data service UEs to inter-frequency or inter-RAT cells
through redirection or directly releases these UEs.
l When the VoLTEPreemptionSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.RacAlgoSwitch
parameter is selected:
– Newly accessed VoLTE voice UEs preempt resources allocated to low-priority data
service UEs. In addition, the eNodeB transfers the preempted data service UEs to
inter-frequency or inter-RAT cells through redirection or directly releases these
UEs. If the preemption fails, newly accessed VoLTE voice UEs uses user number
resources reserved for VoLTE services. For details about the preemption, see
– The eNodeB transfers data service UEs to inter-frequency or inter-RAT cells
through redirection or directly releases these UEs.
The ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RedirectSwitch parameter specifies whether to redirect or release
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 data
service UEs.
NOTE
When the resources reserved for VoLTE voice services are exhausted, VoLTE voice UEs cannot
preferentially access the network.
4.3.5 Uplink PUSCH RB Reservation for Voice UEs

This section describes uplink PUSCH RB reservation for voice UEs.
With this function, certain RBs can be reserved at the specified position for voice UEs on the
PUSCH. Voice UEs preferentially use reserved RB resources. If the reserved RB resources are
exhausted, voice UEs can use non-reserved RB resources. Non-voice UEs cannot use reserved
RB resources.
The UlVoipRbRsvSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.UlSchExtSwitch parameter specifies
whether to reserve PUSCH RBs for voice UEs in the uplink. The
CellUlschAlgo.UlVoipRsvRbStart parameter specifies the start position of the reserved RB
for voice UEs, and the CellUlschAlgo.UlVoipRsvRbNum parameter specifies the number of
reserved RBs.
4.3.6 Uplink Voice Mute Recovery

This section describes the uplink voice mute recovery function.
The uplink voice mute recovery function enables the eNodeB to detect UEs with uplink voice
mute. For such a UE, the eNodeB performs an intra-cell handover or releases the RRC
connection to attempt to recover the voice communication.
The uplink voice mute recovery function is controlled by the
UlCallMuteRecoverSwitch(UlCallMuteRecoverSwitch) option of the
CellUlschAlgo.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw parameter. For an uplink voice mute UE, the
processing is as follows:
l If the voice mute is caused by PDCP or RLC abnormality, the eNodeB performs an intra-
cell handover on the UE to reconfigure the radio bearer.

eRAN
l If the voice mute is caused by other reasons, the eNodeB releases the RRC connection
for the UE.
– If there is an another E-UTRA frequency, an inter-frequency blind redirection is
performed, and the RRC connection release message contains the E-UTRA
frequency.
NOTE
The voice service redirection function is controlled by the

CellAlgoSwitch.VolteRedirectSwitch parameter.
– If there is not another E-UTRA frequency, the eNodeB releases the RRC connection
for the UE. The RRC connection release message does not contain any other E-
UTRA frequencies.
4.4 Power Saving

This section describes how the basic feature LBFD-002017 DRX works for VoLTE.
As shown in Figure 4-14, with DRX enabled, UEs 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, for example, 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 services with QCI of 1 in the Uu interface and the send interval
for voice frames is 20 ms. Therefore, the DRX cycle must be set to 20 ms or 40 ms,
considering the retransmission time. In this situation, setting DRX cycle to a short value for
voice services does not provide much gain. Therefore, it is recommended that the short DRX
cycle be disabled when configuring DRX parameter for services with QCI of 1.
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 4-14 DRX working for VoLTE
Enabling DRX for QCI 1 can reduce the 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 Feature Parameter Description.

eRAN
NOTE
False detection of the PDCCH may cause voice packet loss, due to which there is a low probability of voice
quality deterioration. Preallocation can be used to reduce the impact of false detection. For details about how
DRX works with preallocation, see DRX and Signaling Control Feature Parameter Description.
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 to ensure the
continuity of voice services.
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, and UL-quality-based handovers, the handover
parameters with high priority are used as the handover parameters. For details about
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 parameter with high priority is used as the handover parameter of the UE. For
details, see section 6.1.7 "Standardized QoS characteristics" in 3GPP TS 23.203 V10.3.0.
NOTE
VoLTE is generally deployed in existing LTE networks, which are data networks. Mobility parameters in
existing LTE networks have been optimized constantly and can satisfy the KPI requirements of data services.
The QoS requirements differ depending on voice and data services. It is recommended that inter-frequency or
inter-RAT mobility parameters 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 about intra-frequency handovers, see Intra-RAT Mobility Management in
Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description.

It is recommended that service-based inter-frequency handovers be used in inter-frequency
co-coverage scenarios.
l InterFreqHoGroup.InterFreqLoadBasedHoA4ThdRsrp
l InterFreqHoGroup.InterFreqLoadBasedHoA4ThdRsrq
If operators require that service-based inter-frequency handovers be performed on voice
services, that is, services with QCI of 1 be preferentially set up on a certain frequency, the
following handover policies must be configured:
l Set the handover policy ServiceIfHoCfgGroup.InterFreqHoState of
ServiceIfDlEarfcnGrp.DlEarfcn to PERMIT_HO.
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 services with a QCI of 1.

eRAN
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.
Distance-based Inter-Frequency Handover

UL-Quality-based Inter-Frequency Handover

Similar to coverage-based inter-frequency handover, UL-quality-based inter-frequency
handover uses certain parameters that can be specified based on QCIs. For details, see

Service-based Inter-RAT Handover

With service-based inter-RAT handover, voice services are handed over from the E-UTRAN
to 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 so that the eNodeB does not immediately trigger 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 E-UTRAN to the CS domain of the
GERAN or UTRAN to ensure voice call continuity. For details about SRVCC, see SRVCC
PS Handover
With PS handover, the eNodeB hands over voice services from E-UTRAN to the PS domain
of the UTRAN to ensure voice call continuity.

eRAN
If the UTRAN supports the IMS-based VoHSPA voice solution, voice services can be handed
over to VoHSPA of the UTRAN 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 about PS handovers, see Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 5 Special Processing by Other Features
5 Special Processing by Other Features
ANR
After LOFD-002001 Automatic Neighbour Relation (ANR) or LOFD-002002 Inter-RAT
ANR are configured, the eNodeB filters out UEs performing voice services while selecting
UEs to perform fast ANR measurement.
l The eNodeB does not select the UEs with bearers of QCI 1 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, the eNodeB does not delete the fast ANR
measurements if the bearer with a QCI of 1 is set up for the UE. However,
continuous measurement gaps may affect the voice quality of services with a QCI
of 1.
– When this parameter is set to DISABLE, the eNodeB sends an RRC Connection
Reconfiguration message to delete fast ANR measurements if the UE sets up bearer
with a QCI of 1.
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 VoLTE 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 measurements for handover or user-number-

based measurements for MLB. 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 measurement for
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 to ensure the quality of voice services.
PCI Collision Detection and Self-Optimization

After the LOFD-002007 PCI Collision Detection & Self-Optimization feature and ANR-
based proactive PCI conflict detection are enabled, the eNodeB selects UEs without QCI1
bearers for proactive PCI conflict detection. In addition, the eNodeB sends A3 and A4

eRAN
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, the eNodeB does not delete the measurements
of the UE if the bearer of QCI of 1 is set up for the UE. However, continuous
measurement gaps may affect the voice quality of services with a QCI of 1.
l When this parameter is set to DISABLE, the eNodeB sends the RRC Reconfiguration
message to delete the measurement configuration if the UE sets up a bearer with a QCI
of 1.
NOTE

Carrier Aggregation
l If voice services are initiated for carrier aggregation (CA) UEs, voice services can be
scheduled only on PCells.
l If the SccBlindCfgSwitch option of the eNodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is
deselected, UEs that have originated voice services are not selected for CA.

Periodic Measurement Reporting and GSM and LTE Buffer Zone Optimization
For periodic measurement reporting or GSM and LTE buffer zone optimization, the eNodeB
selects UEs for measurement based on the GlobalProcSwitch.VoipWithGapMode parameter
setting:
l When this parameter is set to ENABLE:

The eNodeB randomly selects UEs. When a UE performing voice services is selected,
continuous measurement gaps may affect the voice quality of the UE.
l When this parameter is set to DISABLE:
– If the UE has already initiated voice services, the eNodeB does not select the UE
for periodic inter-frequency or inter-RAT measurement. The UE is selected for
measurement decision until the UE releases voice services and is selected for the
second time.
– If the UE is not performing voice services, the eNodeB sends periodic inter-
frequency or inter-RAT measurement to the UE. If the UE initiates voice services
later, the eNodeB updates configurations to delete existing periodic inter-frequency
or inter-RAT measurement of the UE. The UE is selected for measurement decision
until the UE releases voice services and is selected for the second time.

The preferential access for voice
service function takes effect when the
number of online UEs in a cell exceeds
the difference between the maximum

reserved number of VoLTE UEs. In this
case, the eNodeB releases or rejects the
RRC connections of non-VoLTE voice

the cell may be falsely determined as
cell outage. Therefore, when the

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

eRAN
7.1 LBFD-081104 UL Compensation Scheduling

System Capacity
No impact.
Network Performance
Uplink compensation scheduling can reduce the rate of uplink packet losses in heavy traffic
scenarios, 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 uplink control
information of voice users is transmitted over PUCCH and increases the possibility that
uplink control information of voice users is transmitted over PUSCH. This affects the
possibility that PDSCH ACK/NACK is detected as DTX and slightly increases 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
No impact.
Network Performance
l This feature affects voice quality in the following aspects:
– If the CellUlschAlgo.SinrAdjTargetIblerforVoLTE parameter is set to a smaller
value, the MCS indexes selected for uplink voice services are smaller. For voice
users in the cell center, the uplink QCI 1 packet loss rate may slightly decrease and
voice quality almost remains unchanged. For voice users not in the cell center, the
number of uplink RLC segments increases and the uplink QCI 1 packet loss rate
may increase in the case of 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.

eRAN
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, enabling 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 PRBs are required in the uplink and one
PRB in the downlink (dual-stream mode) when dynamic scheduling is enabled. Under the
same condition, semi-persistent scheduling requires three PRBs 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 PRB resources. Therefore, the amount of PRB resource 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 situation. The
HARQ processes reserved for downlink semi-persistent scheduling cannot be used for
dynamic scheduling for other service type of the UE, such as data service. 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 a small amount of data volume, the impact of reserving HARQ processes is small
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.
After optimization of 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.

eRAN
7.4 LOFD-001048 TTI Bundling

System Capacity
No impact.
Network Performance
TTI bundling increases the cell edge coverage of PUSCH, improves MCS 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.
As defined in 3GPP protocols, TTI bundling uses a maximum of three PRBs and adopts
QPSK with the highest MCS order of 10. That is, after TTI bundling is enabled, the maximum
number of TBS that can be transmitted is 504 bits. This restricts the uplink throughput of TTI
bundling. The logical channel priority of signaling and voice services is higher than that of
data services, which means that UEs preferentially send signaling and voice services. As a
result, the uplink throughput of data services is further restricted.
7.5 LOFD-081229 Voice Characteristic Awareness

Scheduling
System Capacity
No impact.
Network Performance
Uplink VoLTE volume estimation for dynamic scheduling can shorten voice service delays,
reduce the uplink packet loss rate, and improve 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) or in heavy-load scenario, the impact on network performance is
as follows:
l Improves voice quality.
l Prolongs processing time such as 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) in heavy-load
scenario, the impact on network performance is as follows:

eRAN
l Improves voice quality.

l Increases the uplink throughput of data services.
l Increases the ping delay and attach delay.
l Decreases the downlink throughput of data services.
l Increases the downlink RBLER and the number of out-of-synchronization UEs in the
cell. Data service UEs have a low priority. Therefore, CEUs are not handed over to other
cells in a timely manner. As a result, the downlink RBLER increases and the UEs may
even be out-of-synchronization. Then, the number of RRC connection reestablishments
increases and the RRC connection reestablishment success rate decreases.
After the Independent Configurations for the UE Inactivity Timer for Voice Services function
is enabled, if the priority of services with a QCI of 1 specified by the
QciPara.UeInactiveTimerPri parameter is the highest, this feature has the following impact
on the network:
l If the QciPara.UeInactiveTimerForQci corresponding to VoLTE services with a QCI of

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 corresponding to VoLTE services with a QCI of
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.
7.6 LOFD-111207 VoLTE Rate Control

System Capacity
None
Network Performance
VoLTE Rate Control has the following impact on network performance:
l When the uplink channel quality is favorable, using a high voice coding rate increases
the MOS by 0.01 to 0.2.
l When the uplink channel quality is unfavorable, using a low voice coding rate decreases
the uplink packet loss rate by at most 20% and improves uplink voice coverage by 0.5
dB to 1 dB.
l The impact on the throughput, data rate, and transmission delay varies depending on
scenarios:
– If the voice coding rate of a majority of voice services is increased, more PDCCH
CCE and PRB resources will be consumed, which may slightly reduce the
throughput and data rate of data services, and increase the transmission delay.
– If the voice coding rate of a majority of voice services is reduced, less PDCCH
CCE and PRB resources will be consumed, which may slightly increase the
throughput and data rate of data services, and reduce the transmission delay.

eRAN
7.7 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 users are in a weak coverage area but not in the TTI bundling state.
However, uplink RLC segmentation enhancement raises the uplink MCS, IBLER and residual
BLER (RBLER).
7.8 Preferential Access for Voice Service

System Capacity
After the preferential access for voice service function is enabled, more VoLTE UEs can
preferentially access the network using reserved resources, thereby improving cell capacity
for VoLTE UEs.
Data service UEs cannot use reserved UE number 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 for voice service function is as
follows:
l The number of online VoLTE UEs increases.
l The number of online data services, intra-RAT handover success rate, and call drop rate
are affected.
– A smaller value of the CellRacThd.VolteReservedNumber parameter indicates a
smaller proportion of VoLTE UEs that can be admitted to a cell. When the reserved
resources are exhausted, VoLTE UEs cannot preferentially access the network. This
has slight impact on the number of online data services, intra-RAT handover
success rate, and call drop rate.
– A larger value of the CellRacThd.VolteReservedNumber parameter results in the
opposite effects. The number of online data service UEs decreases. The intra-RAT
handover success rate and call drop rate increase. When there is a large number of
VoLTE UEs at the same time, cell throughput decreases.
7.9 Uplink 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

eRAN
throughput, increases the bit error rate of uplink users, and decreases the MCS index of uplink
data users.
Network Performance
When uplink 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.
7.10 Uplink Voice Mute Recovery

System Capacity
No impact.
Network Performance
The uplink voice mute recovery function has the following impact on network performance:
l This function reduces voice mute and improves user experience.
l If voice mute is caused by PDCP or RLC abnormality, voice mute triggers an intra-cell
handover. This increases the probability of handover failures. The call drop rate (QCI 1)
may increase and the number of radio bearer reestablishments may increase.
l If voice mute is caused by other reasons, the RRC connection is released and a blind
redirection may be performed. This increases the probability of redirection (QCI 1) and
RRC connection release and decreases the call drop rate (QCI 1).

gateway (P-GW). The corresponding user satisfaction rate is 98%.
l The preceding Packet Error Loss Rate indicates the threshold 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 rate, and downlink
PDCP packet loss rates of QCI 1 services can be measured using counters. For details about
related counters, see 9.1.4.2 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 measurement where listeners perceive raw speech materials and
processed degraded speech materials and then score speech quality.
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 wider sampling scope and provides 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 evaluation of network
quality.
8.2.3 Measurement-based Evaluation

Overview
Using the third-party's drive test tools 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 thereby introduced a
Voice Quality Monitoring (VQM) algorithm.
VQM is mainly 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 of QCI of 1 exceeds
the VQMALGO.ULDelayJitter parameter value, the eNodeB determines that a packet
loss occurs.
2. The eNodeB inputs the monitoring results to the Huawei proprietary VQI model and
estimates the MOS scores at intervals specified by VQMAlgo.VQMAlgoPeriod. The
VQI model is based on the MOS score specified in ITU-T P.863 and simulates an MOS
score using mathematical formulas.
3. The MOS scores 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.

eRAN
NOTE
The voice quality monitoring results including statistics about cell-level voice quality counters and
user-level performance monitoring results as well as CHRs do not include user privacy
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 UE codec and jitter buffer algorithms 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
MOS Scores Provided by the VQI Model Voice Quality Related Counters
Level
MOS > VQMAlgo.VqiExcellentThd Excellent For details, see Table

9-11.
VQMAlgo.VqiGoodThd < MOS ≤ Good For details, see Table

VQMAlgo.VqiExcellentThd 9-12.
VQMAlgo.VqiPoorThd < MOS ≤ Fair For details, see Table

VQMAlgo.VqiPoorThd 9-14.
MOS ≤ VQMAlgo.VqiBadThd Bad For details, see Table

9-15.
Application Limitations
The eNodeB automatically checks whether a UE uses AMR speech codec. VQM only
calculates the MOS scores of the UEs that use AMR speech codec.
VQM does not apply to the following scenarios because the eNodeB cannot identify the AMR
voice coding rates of UEs:
l Voice packets are encrypted.
l One RTP packet carries multiple AMR speech frames.
8.3 Capacity Evaluation

The voice service capacity can be evaluated based on the number of users performing QCI 1
services. The related counters are listed below and described in 9.1.4.4 Voice Capacity.

l L.Traffic.ActiveUser.UL.QCI.1

8.4 Performance Evaluation

The performance of voice services can be evaluated using the following KPIs, which are
described in 9.1.4.1 Voice KPIs

l Call Drop Rate (VoIP)

VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 9 Engineering Guidelines
9 Engineering Guidelines
9.1 Basic Functions
9.1.1 When to Use Basic Functions

Users can determine whether to deploy IMS-based VoLTE services depending on whether
IMS is deployed, transmission delay, and voice service policies.
The E-UTRAN supports VoLTE after the IMS is deployed. However, VoLTE is not used in
the following scenarios because IMS-based VoLTE is not appropriate for these scenarios:
l Transmission delay is large.

l Voice services are not allowed on certain frequency bands.
l Voice services are not allowed on certain frequencies.
To prevent UEs from initiating voice services in VoLTE-prohibited areas or prevent VoLTE
UEs from being handed over to VoLTE-prohibited areas, it is recommended that the following
parameters or option be set: ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch parameter,
VoipHoControlSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter, and
EutranInterNFreq.VolteHoTargetInd parameter. For details about the configurations, see
3.2.2 VoLTE-Prohibited Scenario.
NOTE
After the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch is turned off, you also need to disable VoLTE
in the corresponding tracking areas on the MME.
In other scenarios, turn on the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch switch so that

the eNodeB supports IMS-based voice services.
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

eRAN
not support SRVCC do not adopt VoLTE as the voice policy, thereby ensuring voice
continuity.
It is recommended that the VQM function be enabled to monitor voice quality.
9.1.2 Required Information

None
9.1.3 Deployment
9.1.3.1 Requirements
Operating Environment
l UEs must support VoLTE, and the EPC must support IMS.
l Operators have deployed the IMS.
Transmission Networking
VoLTE services have high requirements on end-to-end real-time delay. For example, when the
transmission delay between the eNodeB and EPC exceeds 20 ms, VoLTE is not appropriate
for the eNodeB.
For the requirements on transmission delay and jitter on S1 and X2 interfaces, see IP eRAN

9.1.6 Troubleshooting
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 eRAN 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.
l If the parameter settings are incorrect, modify the parameter settings and perform the
verification again.
l If the parameter settings are incorrect, verify the following counters to check the packet
loss rate for QCI of 5:
– If packet loss for QCI of 5 occurs, contact Huawei technical support.
– Otherwise, the VoLTE fault is not caused by the eNodeB. In this case, troubleshoot
the IMS, EPC, or transport network.

9.2 Capacity Enhancement
9.2.1 When to Use Semi-Persistent Scheduling and Deploy Power

Control
The following features can be enabled to increase capacity for voice services:
Semi-Persistent Scheduling
This feature is recommended to save cell CCE resources when the number of simultaneously
active subscribers is greater than or equal to 10 and the PDCCH CCE usage exceeds 70%.
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 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 only 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 bandwidth of
1.4 MHz.
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.

Uplink Semi-Persistent Scheduling

To verify uplink semi-persistent scheduling for voice services, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Run the LST CELLALGOSWITCH command to check whether uplink semi-persistent
scheduling has been activated.
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 9-5. 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
in PUSCH semi-persistent scheduling is enabled.
Step 2 After the UE accesses the cell, use the UE to perform uplink voice services.
Step 3 Start an IBLER monitoring task on the U2000 client to monitor IBLER values.
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 9-8.
If the Uplink IBLER(Permillage) values are less than 100 (that is, the IBLER values are
less than 10%), the IBLER values converge. If the UE is close to the eNodeB, the
IBLER values are relatively small. If the UE is far from the eNodeB, the IBLER values
are relatively large. In the two cases, the IBLER values do not converge.

Step 2 Enable a UE to access a cell and perform UL VoIP services.
Step 3 Enable the UE to be far from the eNodeB until the RRC_CONN_RECFG and
RRC_CONN_RECFG_CMP messages are present in the Uu tracing result. Check the IEs
mac-MainConfig > ul-SCH-Config > ttiBundling in the RRC_CONN_RECFG message. The
value TRUE (as shown in Figure 9-9) indicates that TTI bundling has been activated for UL
VoIP.

Uplink RLC Segmentation Enhancement

Perform the following steps to check whether the number of uplink RLC segments can be
controlled for UEs at the cell edge through improving MSC after uplink RLC segmentation
enhancement is enabled and Max Number of UL RLC Segments for VoIP is set to a value
other than 0.
Step 1 Run the LST CELLULSCHALGO command to check whether Max Number of UL RLC
Segments for VoIP is set to 0. If Max Number of UL RLC Segments for VoIP is set to a
value other than 0, run the following command to set it to 0. If it is set to 0, perform Step 2.

eRAN
Step 2 After the UE that does not support TTI bundling accesses the cell, enable the UE to perform
uplink VoIP services.
2. On 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) to start MCS and RB tracing.
3. On the U2000, check the MCS order, the number of scheduling times in each MCS
order, and the number of RBs. Enable the UE to be far from the eNodeB until the MCS
order 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 signal
quality.
Step 4 Run the MOD CELLULSCHALGO command to set Max Number of UL RLC Segments
for VoIP to a value other than 0.
NOTE
To ensure voice quality, set Max Number of UL RLC Segments for VoIP to the recommended value.
However, to facilitate activation observation, set this parameter to a smaller value other than 0 for
improving the MCS.
Step 5 On the U2000, check the MCS order, the number of scheduling times in each MCS order, and
the number of RBs. If the MCS order for uplink scheduling is greater than 0 and the number
of RBs for uplink scheduling is less than or equal to 3, the eNodeB restricts the number of
uplink RLC segments in UL dynamic scheduling by improving the MCS. A smaller value of
CELLULSCHALGO.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum results in a higher MCS order.
Step 6 Use the MCS proportion on the uplink PUSCH and uplink packet loss rate to determine
whether uplink RLC segmentation enhancement takes effect. After uplink RLC segmentation
enhancement is enabled, if the uplink packet loss rate for voice services and proportion of
uplink low-order MCSs (such as MCS0 and MCS1) decrease, uplink RLC segmentation
enhancement has taken effect.

traffic volume that is dynamically scheduled for
VoLTE services, which shortens the VoLTE packet
delay, reduces the packet loss rate, and improves the
voice service quality.

01006 preallocation and cell-level smart preallocation do not
apply to UEs with the QCI.
UlVmimoSwitch: Indicates whether to enable multi-
user MIMO (MU-MIMO) in the UL. If this option is
selected, the eNodeB performs MU-MIMO pairing
among UEs based on related principles. UEs forming
a pair transmit data using the same time-frequency
resources, which improves system throughput and
spectral efficiency.
TtiBundlingSwitch: Indicates whether to enable
transmission time interval (TTI) bundling. If TTI
bundling is enabled, more transmission opportunities
are available to UEs within the delay budget for

eRAN

nd
VoLTE services on the Uu interface, thereby

improving uplink coverage.
ImIcSwitch: Indicates whether to enable the
intermodulation interference (IM) cancellation for
UEs. When data is transmitted in both uplink and
downlink, two IM components are generated
symmetrically beside the Direct Current (DC)
subcarrier on the downlink receive channel due to
interference from uplink radio signals. If this option is
selected, IM component elimination is performed on
UEs. If this option is deselected, IM component
elimination is not performed on UEs. This option
applies only to FDD cells working in frequency band

SmartPreAllocationSwitch: Indicates whether to
enable uplink smart preallocation when preallocation
is enabled (by selecting PreAllocationSwitch). If both
the PreAllocationSwitch and SmartPreAllocationS-
witch options are selected and SmartPreAllocationDu-
ration is set to a value greater than 0, uplink smart
preallocation is enabled. Otherwise, uplink smart
preallocation is disabled.
PuschDtxSwitch: Indicates whether the eNodeB uses
the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)
discontinuous transmission (DTX) detection result
during UL scheduling. In an LTE FDD cell, if this
option is selected, based on the PUSCH DTX
detection result, the eNodeB determines whether to
perform adaptive retransmission during UL
scheduling and also adjusts the control channel
element (CCE) aggregation level of the physical
downlink control channel (PDCCH) carrying
downlink control information (DCI) format 0. If an
FDD cell is established on an LBBPc, this option
takes effect only if the cell uses less than four RX
antennas and normal cyclic prefix (CP) in the uplink
and the SrsCfgInd parameter in the SRSCfg MO is set
to BOOLEAN_TRUE. Note that the LBBPc does not
support PUSCH DTX detection for UEs with MU-
MIMO applied. In an LTE TDD cell, this option takes
effect only when the cell is configured with subframe
configuration 2 or 5. After this option takes effect, the
eNodeB adjusts the CCE aggregation level based on
the PUSCH DTX detection results. Note that LTE
TDD cells established on LBBPc boards do not
support PUSCH DTX detection.

UlEnhancedSrSchSwitch: Indicates whether uplink re-
scheduling is performed only when the On Duration
timer for the DRX long cycle starts. Uplink re-
scheduling is required if the number of HARQ
retransmissions for a scheduling request (SR) reaches
the maximum value but the scheduling still fails. If
this option is selected, uplink re-scheduling is
performed only when the On Duration timer for the
DRX long cycle starts. If this option is deselected,
uplink re-scheduling is performed immediately when
the number of HARQ retransmissions for SR reaches
the maximum value but the scheduling still fails. It is
recommended that this option be selected in live
networks.
SchedulerCtrlPowerSwitch: Indicates whether the
uplink scheduler performs scheduling without
considering power control restrictions. If this option is
selected, the uplink scheduler performs scheduling
without considering power control restrictions, which
ensures full utilization of the transmit power for all
UEs. If this option is deselected, the uplink scheduler
considers power control restrictions while performing
scheduling, which prevents full utilization of the
transmit power for UEs at far or medium distances
from the cell center.
UlMinGbrSwitch: Indicates whether to enable uplink
minimum guaranteed bit rate (GBR). If this option is

performs uplink scheduling based on the aggregate
maximum bit rate (AMBR) of UEs. If this option is
selected, the eNodeB prioritizes UEs based on the UE-
AMBRs during uplink scheduling. This option applies
only to LTE TDD.
UlEnhancedDopplerSwitch: Indicates whether to
enable enhanced uplink scheduling based on mobility
speed. If this option is selected, enhanced uplink
scheduling based on mobility speed is enabled. In
enhanced uplink scheduling based on mobility speed,
the eNodeB uses Doppler measurement results to
determine low-speed UEs to further improve UL
performance of low-speed UEs. If this option is
deselected, enhanced uplink scheduling based on
mobility speed is disabled. Enhanced uplink
scheduling based on mobility speed takes effect only
when the DopMeasLevel parameter is set to

an integral multiple of 10. If users hope that the value
LST actually assigned to a UE is equal to or greater than 80
DRXPA ms, set the TimeAlignmentTimer parameter to a value
RAGRO equal to or greater than 10240 ms. If the
UP TimingAdvCmdOptSwitch parameter is set to ON, it
is recommended that the LongDrxCycle parameter be
set to a value less than or equal to 320 ms. Otherwise,
the uplink time alignment performance of UEs is
affected. If the TimingAdvCmdOptSwitch parameter
is set to ON, it is recommended that the
TimeAlignmentTimer parameter be set to sf10240. A
smaller value of the TimeAlignmentTimer parameter,
such as sf5120, increases the probability that UEs in
DRX mode become uplink asynchronized. The length
of the long DRX cycle must be shorter than the length
of the PDCP packet discarding timer for the
corresponding QCI. Otherwise, packet loss occurs
during a ping operation or low-traffic service.

CellUlsc Statistic MOD LOFD-0 TTI Meaning: Indicates the threshold of channel quality
hAlgo NumTh CELLU 01048 / Bundlin statistic times during which the channel quality of a
dForTtib LSCHA TDLOF g UE consistently meets conditions for exiting from
Exit LGO D-00104 transmission time interval (TTI) bundling. Before a
LST 8 UE exits from TTI bundling, the eNodeB performs
CELLU statistic on the channel quality of the UE at the
LSCHA interval of 20 ms or longer. If the number of statistic
LGO times during which the channel quality of the UE
consistently meets conditions for exiting from TTI
bundling is greater than this parameter value, the UE
exits TTI bundling. This parameter helps delay the
time for UEs to exit from TTI bundling and decrease
the probability of unnecessary exit from TTI bundling
caused by wireless signal fluctuation. This parameter
applies only to LTE FDD networks.

Num LGO D-00104 services scheduled in transmission time interval (TTI)
LST 8 bundling mode and the maximum SDU segments at
CELLU the RLC layer. If this parameter is set to 0, the upper
LSCHA limit control on SDU segmentation at the RLC layer is
LGO disabled in the uplink for services scheduled in TTI
bundling mode. If this parameter is set to a non-zero
value X, upper limit control on SDU segmentation at
the RLC layer is enabled and a maximum of X SDU
segments that can be divided for services in uplink
dynamic scheduling in TTI bundling mode. This
parameter applies only to LTE FDD networks.
