Feature Operation / Benefits
1. The ACS feature rapidly finds suspected sleeping cells.
2. The feature supports self-healing by automatically trying to

recover the suspected sleeping cells. No alarm is sent out if the
recovery action is successful but if it fails, an alarm is issued.
1) The basic PDCCH Link Adaptation uses the Physical Downlink

Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmission success and a configurable
offset to achieve the target Block Error rate (BLER) for PDCCH
transmissions.
3) Enhanced PDCCH Link adaptation is based on PDCCH transmission

success. It uses the PDSCH Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback
and the PUSCH detection results to determine whether or not a
PDCCH transmission was successful. In addition to achieving the
target BLER, it makes efficient use of the PDCCH resources, which
allows increased system capacity.
1) If the feature is activated,the cell capacity, measured as number
of scheduled PDCCH per TTI, will be increased compared to not
using automatic PDCCH Power Boosting, in typical high load VoIP
scenarios/conditions, which is on the basis of feature function
"automatic PDCCH Power Boost"
2) If the feature is activated to increase the PDCCH PSD level for

CCE aggregation level 8, the PDCCH cell coverage will be increased
compared to not using PDCCH Power Boost, the feature is especially
suitable for TM7/TM8 scenario that PDSCH does not limit cell
coverage, but not confined to these two Transmission mode. The
feature can be applied to all other transmission modes.
The Maximum Cell Range feature provides support for a maximum

cell range of 100 km. Without this feature the maximum cell range is
15 km. Large cells are suitable to obtain coverage in sparsely
populated areas where the need for capacity is low. Examples of
such areas are deserts, coastal areas, or sea environments. The
feature makes it possible to set the cell range between 1 and 100
km. The feature includes use of the random access preamble format
1 that is appropriate for the large round trip times in cells with cell
range larger than 15 km.
1. The Interference Rejection Combining feature maximizes the

Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) of the combined signal
by minimizing the noise and interference at the antenna combiner
output while preserving the signal. It can be seen as weighting down
the signal in the directions of the interferers, so that they do not
corrupt the signal from the desired user.
2.The Interference Rejection Combining feature improves the Block

Error Rate (BLER) on the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)
and Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) compared to MRC and
improves uplink throughput in uplink interference limited systems.
The use of IRC on uplink channels does not require any additional
User Equipment (UE) support
1. For a UE moving at high speeds with high carrier frequency, the
frequency offset estimates based on Physical Uplink Shared Channel
(PUSCH) and Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) are subject to
ambiguities and cannot be correctly estimated. High-frequency offset
impact on Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) also causes
problems. This is resolved by comparing the frequency offset
estimates on PUSCH, PUCCH and PRACH.
2.This feature supports UE speeds of up to 350 km/h for the highest
carrier frequencies in the Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access (E-
UTRA) operating bands. This establishes and maintains connections
to UE with frequency offsets up to 1900 Hz.
1. Triggered by the UE in RRC_CONNECTED state, resumes the SRB1

and re-activates the AS (3) security without changing algorithms.A
successful re-establishment is followed by a RRC Connection
Reconfiguration procedure to resume SRB2 and all DRBs.
2.RRC Connection Re-establishment failure happens in the following
situations:
a) The re-establishment request is initiated towards another cell than

the serving cell.
b) An ongoing RRC procedure (for example Handover, E-RAB Set
up/Release/Modification, UE Context Set up/Release/Modification)
exists.
The eNodeB responds the UE with a RRC Connection

Reestablishment Reject message, the ongoing procedure times out,
and the RRC Connection Release is triggered causing the UE to go to
the RRC-IDLE state.
The optional feature Multi-target RRC Connection re-establishment
Introduces RRC connection re-establishment in other cells than
serving cell. The basic feature, RRC Connection Re-establishment,
supports only RRC Connection Reestablishment in serving cell.
The additional cases where re-establishment is supported by this

feature are the following:
1.Re-establishment in another cell of the Serving eNodeB

2.Re-establishment in another cell of another eNodeB, provided that
there is an X2 connection and that both eNodeBs are Ericsson
eNodeBs
3.Re-establishment during ongoing intra-eNodeB handover
(according to the constraints of the previous bullets as well as in
Serving cell)
4.Re-establishment during X2 inter-eNodeB handover
5.Re-establishment between different frequencies
Intra-LTE handover can be set to trigger on the RSRP value or the
RSRQ value. The measurement reports sent by the UE contains
either or both of these values.
There are three types of mobility procedures for Intra-LTE handover;

intra-RBS handover, X2-based inter RBS handover, and S1-based
inter-RBS handover.
The handover procedures are described in the following:
1.The intra-RBS handover procedure is used when both the source

and target cells reside in the same RBS.
2.X2 inter-RBS handover is primarily used when an X2 relation exists
between source and target RBSs. Both source and target RBS must
be connected to the same MME.
3.S1 inter-RBS handover is primarily used when no X2 relation exists
between source and target. Source and target RBS can be connected
to the same or different MME. Packet forwarding at S1 Handover is
also an optional licensed feature that is used to reduce packet loss.
The objective of data forwarding is to guarantee that packet loss is

reduced during an X2 handover and intra-RBS handover, except in
the transport network, as well as reducing handover interruption
time. The packets forwarded are those stored in the source RBS
buffer prior to the handover execution, ,i.e. packets that have not
been acknowledged by the UE (only in case of RLC AM DRBs) and
packets that have not been transmitted. Source RBS also forwards
new incoming packets from the SGW prior to the handover
completion. Forwarding occurs only with Packet Data Convergence
Protocol (PDCP) Service Data Units (SDUs) in the downlink.
In case the feature is active the target RBS prioritizes all downlink
PDCP Packet Data Units (PDUs) forwarded by the source RBS, before
sending new data received from the S1 link.
The 2 methods of packet forwarding at S1 handover are as follows:
Direct Packet Forwarding

Data is transferred over the X2 user plane between the source and
the target RBS. The source RBS indicates that a direct path is
available in the S1-AP handover control signalling to the MME.
Indirect Packet Forwarding

Data is transferred over the S1 user plane through the source/target
Serving Gateway (SGW) between the source and the target RBS.
When there is no direct user plane path, the Source RBS does not
indicate that a direct path is available in the S1-AP control signalling
and this can result in indirect packet forwarding.
This feature makes it possible to change the Serving Gateway (SGW)

at X2 handover. This feature enables the core network to balance
the network load and utilize network resources more efficiently.
This feature improves the Coverage-Triggered features functionality

to increase mobility handling flexibility at poor coverage. It
introduces a search zone along the edge of the cell, where User
Equipment (UE) measurements search for alternative frequencies
and cells.
The measurement process used by the UE to evaluate the serving

cell uses parameters sent by the serving eNodeB to the UE. These
parameters, sent to the UE in the RRCConnectionReconfiguration
messages, include threshold values, hysteresis values, measurement
filtering, and time-to-trigger parameters.
The UE measurements are reported to the serving eNodeB to make
the final decision on redirection to a GERAN / UTRAN /IF / CDMA
Target.
The Event A2 can base its triggering criterion on either of the

following:
Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), representing the mean
measured power per reference signal
Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), providing an indication of
the reference signal quality, especially high inter cell interference
The eNodeB will configure two Event A2 measurements in the UE to
detect poor coverage, and using the default settings, one of them
will be based on RSRP and one on RSRQ. The eNodeB will consider
the UE in poor coverage when at least one of the measurements
have reported poor coverage.
The eNodeB determines whether to release the UE with a redirection
to a GERAN / UTRAN /IF / CDMA Target., depending on the UE
capabilities, eNodeB licenses, and redirection priority. If the UE is
released with a redirection to a GERAN / UTRAN /IF / CDMA Target.,
the release message contains information about one or several
The eNodeB will configure two Event A2 measurements in the UE to
detect poor coverage, and using the default settings, one of them
will be based on RSRP and one on RSRQ. The eNodeB will consider
the UE in poor coverage when at least one of the measurements
have reported poor coverage.
The eNodeB determines whether to release the UE with a redirection
to a GERAN / UTRAN /IF / CDMA Target., depending on the UE
capabilities, eNodeB licenses, and redirection priority. If the UE is
released with a redirection to a GERAN / UTRAN /IF / CDMA Target.,
the release message contains information about one or several
GERAN / UTRAN /IF / CDMA frequencies, to help the UE find a
suitable GERAN / UTRAN /IF / CDMA Target cell.
This feature extends the session continuity / CSFB features by

including system information for cells belonging to target Radio
Access Technology (RAT) when performing Radio Resource Control
(RRC) connection release with redirect to GSM or WCDMA . The
system information enables the UE to connected to target GSM or
WCDMA cell faster.
The feature enables eNodeBs to respond to Circuit Switched (CS)

service requests from LTE UE. When an eNodeB receives a request it
directs the UE to GERAN or UTRAN frequencies.
The Emergency Call Handling for CS Fallback feature offers the

operator the possibility to apply separate priorities for CS fallback for
emergency calls as compared to CS fallback for ordinary voice calls.
This allows the operator to direct emergency calls to the network
that has the best positioning performance and thus comply to the
FCC phase 2 requirements on positioning accuracy for such calls
1.That the UE will be transferred to a cell on a different frequency
for which the UE has coverage.
2.That an Event A5 (serving becomes worse than threshold1 and
neighbor becomes better than threshold2) measurement is
configured in the UE whenever there are several candidate target
cells, none of which covers the source cell completely.
3.That the UE hands over directly, without an Event A5
measurement, whenever there is (at least) one target cell which is
known to cover the source cell completely.
The purpose of the Coverage-Triggered WCDMA IRAT Handover

feature is, first, to extend this with the option of initiating a handover
to a WCDMA cell, instead of initiating a release. Second, to handle an
incoming handover (to an LTE cell) from a WCDMA cell.
The purpose of the Intra-LTE Inter-Mode Handover feature is to
manage User Equipment (UE) handover between LTE cells working
in different modes – Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time
Division Duplex (TDD).
The feature supports an arbitrary grade of coverage overlap

between cells.
The feature supports an arbitrary number of target cells on the same
inter-frequency.
The feature supports an arbitrary number of frequencies and
frequency bands.
The feature supports load balancing between cells that are co-
located and not co-located.
The feature supports load balancing between cells in the same and
in separate RBSs.
The purpose of this feature is to offload traffic load above an offload
threshold from an EUTRAN cell to an Ericsson or non-Ericsson
EUTRAN FDD or TDD cell.
The 6 Cell Support feature offers reduced equipment cost by

controlling six cells with one DU in one RBS node. This enables cost
efficient ways of building networks in many scenarios.
The capacity of the DU can be fully used with six-sector single carrier
configurations. One DU can carry the traffic of up to six cells.
The 4x2 Quad Antenna Downlink Performance Package feature
provides support for four transmit antennas used for 4-way transmit
diversity and spatial multiplexing, to improve downlink coverage,
capacity that is, bitrate, and throughput
The 4x2 Quad Antenna Downlink Performance Package feature

provides support for four transmit antennas used for 4-way transmit
diversity and spatial multiplexing, to improve downlink coverage,
capacity that is, bitrate, and throughput
The Dual-Antenna Downlink Performance Package feature must be

active prior to introducing the 4x2 Quad Antenna Downlink
Performance Package feature
The Quad Antenna Uplink Performance Package feature provides
support for four receive antennas used for 4-way receive diversity, to
improve uplink coverage, capacity (bit rate) and throughput. Quad
Antenna Uplink Performance is possible for all antenna
configurations with four antennas and for any number of radio units.
The QoS-Aware Scheduler feature allows configuration of the

scheduler on a QCI basis. This can be used to configure absolute
priority scheduling for Data Radio Bearers (DRBs) in regard to air
interface resources. It also enables configuration of scheduling
algorithms per QCI, given that appropriate scheduler licenses are in
place.
2.When there is no license available for the QoS-Aware Scheduler

feature, the system scheduler sets to Resource Fair (RF) as default.
The QoS-Aware Scheduler feature must be activated.

The Uplink Frequency-Selective Scheduling feature is dependent on
sounding. Sounding is a procedure which utilizes a set of uplink
reference signals. Unlike the uplink Demodulation Reference Signals
(DMRS), which are sent within the same bandwidth as the uplink
signal, Sounding Reference Signals (SRS) can be sent over almost
arbitrary channel bandwidths, providing the channel estimation over
any part of the spectrum. This gives the possibility of scheduling
uplink transmission on resource blocks of instantaneously good
quality.
The default mobility parameters in the Radio Base Station (RBS) are
not necessarily optimized when the operators deploy the network.
An RBS with poor mobility parameters encounters the following
problems:
Too Early Handover
Too Late Handover
Handover to Wrong Cell
Ping-pong Handover
This feature provides RBS with the capacity to automatically calibrate
the mobility parameters, and enables the operator to observe the
occurrence of these problems.
This feature reduces the number of radio connection failures and

unnecessary handovers, which subsequently increases the RBS
throughput, as well as the VoIP and Streaming service quality.
The End-User Bitrate Shaping feature takes the UL Aggregated
Maximum Bitrate (AMBR) for the non-Guaranteed Bitrate (GBR)
bearer and the UL Maximum Bitrate (MBR) for each GBR bearer as
input. Therefore, in the UL it is possible to shape the traffic to the
sum of the maximum aggregated bit-rate for a specific User
Equipment (UE) (AMBR) and the MBR for each GBR bearer of that
UE
Efficient DRX/DTX for Connected UE feature is provided as a licensed

feature and allows DRX for UE in RRC_CONNECTED mode.
The Enhanced Cell ID Control Plane Location Support feature in the

RBS enables the operator to keep the location node updated,
through OSS-RC, about the geographic data of the cells served by
the

LTE432 : This feature raises an indication that there may be a problem, so

the operator must still check the situation in the cell and decide, which
actions are to trigger.
LTE502 : Recovery Action will be carried out through this feature.
E/// - Combined function of below 2 features can be mapped with NSN

feature LTE1035 .
Enhanced PDCCH Link Adaption - In order to satisfy the required BLER
for PDCCH, the estimated SINR must be adjusted to compensate for the CQI
estimation errors on the PDCCH. It uses the PDSCH Acknowledgement
(HARQ-ACK) feedback and the PUSCH detection results to determine
whether or not a PDCCH transmission was successful.Based on the
estimated SINR plus the calculated outer loop adjustment and the transport
block size, the link adaptation determines the number of CCEs required for
the coming PDCCH transmission
PDCCH Power Boost - CCE aggregation level and boost value based on
CCE cost and PDCCH SINR from PDCCH link Adaptation feature. UE at any
cell position is supported to calculate corresponding CCE Aggregation level
and boost power.PDCCH power per OFDM symbol is another limitation, if the
total power including boost power exceeds the limitation, it is forbidden to
use the boosted power.
NSN - Feature LTE1035 decides #CCE's and Transmission power per UE

(More CCE's / Power to low SINR UE's ) through PDCCH outer loop Link
adaption.
1. Iputs to PDCCH inner loop link adaption are UE reported Wideband CQI ,

total power including boost power exceeds the limitation, it is forbidden to
use the boosted power.

2.Internal functions PDCCH outer loop link adaption ( Adjusts the dynamic
correction of UE SINR estimate per User ) and PDSCH outer link Quality
Control are working based on HARQ Feedbacks from initial DL transmission.
E/// - Supports Cell Range of 100 Km
NSN - Supports Cell Range of 77 Km
E/// - The Interference Rejection Combining feature improves the Block

Error Rate (BLER) on the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) and
Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).IRC also improves false detection
and missed detection performance on the Physical Random Access Channel
(PRACH) in an inter-cell interference scenario. IRC is always available on the
PRACH.
NSN - Supporting IRC is mainly a radio layer 1 issue. IRC is only applied to
the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). All other channels and signals

Feature Operation / Benefits
This feature raises an indication that there may be a problem, so the

operator must still check the situation in the cell and decide, which
actions are to trigger.
Recovery Action will be carried out through this feature.

LTE979 implements IRC (Interference Rejection Combining) algorithm
aims to maximize SINR by balancing amplification of the power of the
desired signal and suppression of the interference caused by other
signals. IRC algorithm may be visually explained as forming a receiving
beam in the direction of the wanted user, while nulls of the receiving
beam pattern are formed towards the interferer. This is done with
maximization of SINR in mind, so effectively the max gain may not be
in the direction of the wanted UE.MRC on the other hand aims in
maximization of wanted UE signal, ignoring the interferers.
. The basic rule of thumb is that the number of ( RX antennas - 1)

dominant interferers can be suppressed. This means, for 2 RX antennas
1 dominant interferers can be suppressed. This is only a rough rating
since also interference from more users can be suppressed but the
suppressor gain will decrease very rapidly.
1.LTE48: Support of high speed users the evolved Node B (eNB) is able
to handle user equipment’s speed (UE) of up to 350 km/h in open
space and 300 km/h in
tunnels.
2.It is possible to configure a cell to support high-speed users by
setting PrachHsFlag to true. It makes that restricted set for physical
random access channel (PRACH) preambles is used and the PRACH
radio receiver (Rx) algorithm is changed to high speed
receiver. In addition, the PRACH high speed receiver produces some
frequency offset estimation for each UE.
1. Successful RRC connection re-establishment is supported in source

cell during ongoing RRC or S1AP procedures. In this use case re-
establishment can be successful, when UE initiates the re-
establishment procedure due to radio link failure (according to 3GPP
36.331, section 5.3.11.3) or due to integrity check failure.
2.The UE initiates RRC connection re-establishment procedure. The UE

performs cell selection and sends a re-establishment request to the
eNB.
Based on the information received in the request, the eNB checks that
the UE context exists, performs security and integrity check and verifies
that the PhysCellId within the ReestabUEIdentity is equal to the PCI of
the source cell. If all conditions are met, the eNB accepts the request
and the Re-establishment procedure is performed.

and the Re-establishment procedure is performed.
The eNodeB supports RRC Connection Release with redirection to an
operator-specifiable RAT & frequency if the UE risks losing coverage
and no handover is possible.
Due to RSRP measurements (event A2), the eNodeB then triggers a
RRC connection release with redirect.
The thresholds for this event are operator configurable. The target
frequency is also operator configurable. It can belong to eUTRAN,
WCDMA, GSM, eHRPD, CDMA/1xRTT.
The UE capabilities are considered for the redirect. The redirect
functionality can be enabled/disabled via O&M. Up to six redirection
target layers MORED are supported for each profile MOPR.
lte1407: RSRQ Based Redirect feature, the eNB configures in the UE

additional to the existing RSRP - based A2 for redirect an RSRQ based
A2 event on the own serving cell. A2 event means: the serving cell
becomes worse than an absolute threshold.
When the UE sends this A2-RSRQ event and when it is received by the
eNB, an RRC Connection Release with Redirect is triggered at the UE
by the eNB.
he scope of the feature is to redirect UEs with poor RSRQ, but with a
good RSRP, where neither a handover nor an RSRP-based redirect
triggers to another radio access technology (RAT) layer, which is
outside of the strong interference area .It is strongly recommended
that only UEs with a quiet low RSRQ value, which is almost against the
lowest one of -19dB is considered for redirect to another RAT. This is
to avoid ping-long effects back from these RATs into LTE.

eNB, an RRC Connection Release with Redirect is triggered at the UE
by the eNB.

that only UEs with a quiet low RSRQ value, which is almost against the
lowest one of -19dB is considered for redirect to another RAT. This is
to avoid ping-long effects back from these RATs into LTE.
The same measurement-object and related Id as for the serving
frequency as for RSRP triggered redirect must be used for RSRQ-based
triggered redirect.
This feature introduces additional funcionality for CS Fallback with

Redirection to GERAN (LTE562: CS Fallback with redirection),
Emergency calls handling (LTE22: Emergency Calls handling) and UE
Context Release with Redirection (LTE423: RRC Connection Release
with Redirect). With this feature the eNB provides System Information
(SI) for GERAN cells inside redirection message. This reduces time
needed to access target GERAN cell, in which CS service will be
performed, as the UE will not need to read SIBs from air interface to
access target cell. The cell selection algorithm in the UE is not
influenced by providing the GERAN system information, for example
the UE does not prefer GERAN cells for which system information has
been provided.
The feature “lte22: Emergency Call Handling” re-uses LTE562 to

provide regulatory requirements in initial phase of LTE implementation.
To grant proper handling of emergency call UE will be redirected from
LTE to another CS capable RAT (WCDMA or GSM). This action is
triggered by MME sending CS Fallback High Priority indication to eNB.
As a consequence UE will be redirected to another RAT by reusing
LTE562 solution (but with a separately configurable UE priorities
dependent RedirectedCarrierInfo IE). In addition, one separate
admission threshold is used for UEs sending RRC CONNECTION
REQUEST message with establishmentCause set to 'emergency'.
