1 Downlink Target IBLER

6.1.1.1 Fixed Configuration
The downlink target IBLER for a UE depends on the downlink target IBLERs corresponding to the bearers
of the QCIs set up for the UE, as shown in Table 6-1. The target IBLER corresponding to a bearer of a
QCI set up for the UE is determined by the CellQciPara.InitDlTargetIbler parameter. If this parameter
value is changed, the specified target IBLER takes effect only when a bearer of a QCI is created,
modified, or released for the admitted UE.

All the target IBLER values are zero. The target IBLER is determined by the CellCqiAdjAlgo.InitDlIblerTarget parameter.

Only one of the target IBLER values is non-zero. The target IBLER is the non-zero target IBLER value.

More than one of the target IBLER values are non-zero. A non-zero parameter value with the QCI that takes precedence over the other QCIs is used as the target IBLER for the UE. The QC
IMS signaling.

There are multiple QCIs for non-IMS signaling. The target IBLER depends on the QCI that takes precedence over the other QCIs. The QCIs are sorted in descending order of QCI p

Multiple QCIs have the same priority but correspond to different target IBLER values. The smallest target IBLER value is used.

6.1.1.2 Adaptive Configuration
The downlink target IBLER can be configured both fixedly and adaptively. Adaptive configuration of the
target IBLER does not apply to UEs running services with QCI 1.
Adaptation

For FDD, downlink target IBLER adaptation is controlled by the DlVarIBLERtargetSwitch option of

the CellAlgoSwitch.CqiAdjAlgoSwitch parameter. If this option is selected, the eNodeB adjusts the
target IBLER to:
 10% for UEs running non-small-packet services at non-edge locations.
 30% for UEs running small-packet services at non-edge locations and UEs at cell edges.

Enhanced Adaptation

Enhanced downlink target IBLER adaptation is controlled by the DlEnVarIblerTargetSwitch option of

the CellAlgoSwitch.CqiAdjAlgoSwitch parameter. If this option is selected, the eNodeB adjusts the
target IBLER based on the TBS index threshold for low target IBLER specified by
the CellDlschAlgo.LowIblerTargetTbsIdxThld parameter.
When CellDlschAlgo.LowIblerTargetTbsIdxThld is set to 255, the eNodeB does not adjust the target
IBLER based on the TBS index.
 For UEs performing services with slightly fluctuated channel quality, the target IBLER is changed
to 5%.
 For UEs performing services with moderately fluctuated channel quality, target IBLER adaptation
is used.
 For UEs performing services with heavily fluctuated channel quality, the target IBLER is changed
to 30%.
When CellDlschAlgo.LowIblerTargetTbsIdxThld is set to a value other than 255, the eNodeB adjusts
the target IBLER based on the TBS index.
 For UEs performing services with slightly fluctuated channel quality,
 If the TBS index is not less than the value of
the CellDlschAlgo.LowIblerTargetTbsIdxThld parameter, the target IBLER is changed
to 5%.
 If the TBS index is less than the value of
the CellDlschAlgo.LowIblerTargetTbsIdxThld parameter, the target IBLER is changed
to 10%.
 For UEs performing services with heavily fluctuated channel quality,
 If the TBS index does not exceed the value of
the CellDlschAlgo.HighIblerTargetTbsIdxThld parameter, the target IBLER is changed
to 30%.
 If the TBS index exceeds the value of
the CellDlschAlgo.HighIblerTargetTbsIdxThld parameter, the target IBLER is changed
to 10%.
 For UEs performing services with moderately fluctuated channel quality,
Target IBLER adaptation is used.

6.1.2 CQI Adjustment Period (FDD)

In FDD, if a cell serves a large number of online users, the CQI adjustment period is prolonged and the
CQI adjustment algorithm may receive multiple HARQ feedback messages in a CQI adjustment period.
The DlCqiAdjDeltaOptSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.CqiAdjAlgoSwitch parameter specifies
how to calculate the CQI adjustment value.
 When this option is deselected, the CQI adjustment algorithm treats all the received HARQ
feedback messages in a CQI adjustment period as a single feedback message, based on which
the CQI adjustment value is calculated. This calculation method causes slow CQI adjustment.
 When this option is selected, the CQI adjustment algorithm calculates the CQI adjustment value
based on each individual HARQ feedback message received in a CQI adjustment period. This
calculation method causes fast CQI adjustment.

6.1.3 CQI Filtering Adjustment

6.1.3.1 Initial Filtered Value of Reported CQIs

The eNodeB applies filtering to the reported CQIs. The initial filtered value of the CQIs reported by a
newly admitted UE is determined by the RptCqiFltInitSwitch option of
the CellAlgoSwitch.CqiAdjAlgoSwitch parameter. This function does not take effect for UEs running
services with QCI 1.
 If this option is deselected, the initial filtered value is always 4.
 If this option is selected, the initial filtered value is adaptively configured based on the reported
CQIs, which can increase the User Downlink Average Throughput.
User Downlink Average Throughput =
(L.Thrp.bits.DL – L.Thrp.bits.DL.LastTTI)/L.Thrp.Time.DL.RmvLastTTI
