3 Overview
High-density and heavy-load scenarios imply high user density and heavy traffic
volume, in areas such as stadiums, exhibition halls, and theaters. In high-density
and heavy-load scenarios, the number of cells is large, leading to severe
interference, and calling for improvement on uplink user-perceived rates. To
handle this situation, the Uplink Experience Intelligent Acceleration feature is
introduced. This feature includes the following functions:
● Uplink scheduling optimization: optimizes the average scheduling delay of the
system based on group polling scheduling.
● Uplink power control policy optimization: performs power control on UEs
based on UE measurements, increasing the average uplink user-perceived rate
on the entire network.
● Serving cell optimization: selects the best serving cell for a UE according to
the principle of minimal interference between intra-frequency neighboring
cells.
4.1 Principles
In high-density and heavy-load scenarios, the average waiting time for scheduling
increases with the number of UEs, and the uplink user-perceived rate needs to be
improved. To handle this situation, the uplink scheduling optimization function is
introduced. Figure 4-1 shows how this function works.
4.2.1 Benefits
In high-density and heavy-load scenarios, when the uplink load of a cell is greater
than or equal to 60%, this function allows the average uplink user-perceived rate
to increase by 5% to 20%. In other scenarios, or in high-density and heavy-load
scenarios where the uplink load of a cell is less than 60%, enabling this feature
has neither gains nor negative impacts.
In this document, the uplink load of a cell refers to the PUSCH PRB usage and CCE
usage of the cell.
PUSCH PRB usage of a cell = L.ChMeas.PRB.UL.Used.Avg/L.ChMeas.PRB.UL.Avail
CCE usage of a cell = (L.ChMeas.CCE.CommUsed + L.ChMeas.CCE.ULUsed+
L.ChMeas.CCE.DLUsed)/L.ChMeas.CCE.Avail

Cell Performance Counter Requirements
It is recommended that this feature be enabled in a high-density cell when any of
the following conditions is met during a sports event, exhibition, or performance:
● The number of connected UEs is greater than 150 within 15 minutes.
● The PRB usage is greater than or equal to 60% within 15 minutes.
● The uplink interference is greater than –100 dBm within 15 minutes.
5.1 Principles
In high-density and heavy-load scenarios, the uplink user-perceived data rate
decreases due to strong interference from intra-frequency cells. To solve this
problem, the uplink power control policy optimization function is introduced.
This function is controlled by the PUSCH_INTRF_RSRP_HIGH_THLD_SW option of
the CellAlgoExtSwitch.HeavyLoadPrfmOptSwitch parameter.
● Before this function is enabled, the cell controls the uplink transmit power of
UEs based on the unified upper RSRP threshold, which is specified by the
CellPcAlgo.PuschRsrpHighThd parameter. This parameter indicates the upper
limit of RSRP in closed-loop power control for the PUSCH. In the overlapping
area of cells, the uplink transmit power of UEs cannot be lowered to mitigate
interference of UEs to neighboring cells.
● After this function is enabled, the cell uses different high RSRP thresholds to
control the uplink transmit power of UEs. The
CellPcAlgo.PuschIntrfRsrpHighThld parameter is added. It specifies the
threshold for the uplink transmit power of the UE received by a neighboring
cell. In the overlapping area of cells, the uplink transmit power of UEs can be
lowered to mitigate the interference to neighboring cells, thereby increasing
the average uplink user-perceived rate.
As shown in Figure 5-1, UE 1 is served by Cell 1, and UE 2 and UE 3 are served by
Cell 2.
5.2.1 Benefits
In high-density and heavy-load scenarios,
● When the uplink load of a cell ranges from 60% to 75%, the average uplink
user-perceived rate increases by 5% to 10%.
● When the uplink load of a cell is greater than 75%, the average uplink user-
perceived rate increases by 10% to 20%.
● When the uplink load of a cell is less than 60%, enabling this feature has
neither gains nor negative impacts.
NOTE
This function aims to improve the average user-perceived rate on the entire network.
However, the user-perceived rate may decrease for a single user or a single area (including
the VIP users or VIP areas).
In other scenarios, the user-perceived rate may decrease for some users or areas.

6.1 Principles
In high-density and heavy-load scenarios, the cell spacing is small. In the
overlapping area of cells, UEs cannot be promptly handed over to inter-frequency
neighboring cells based on settings of traditional handover parameters. This leads
to uplink intra-frequency interference to intra-frequency neighboring cells. To
solve this problem, the serving cell optimization function is introduced. This
function is controlled by the INTRF_BASED_INTER_FREQ_HO_SW option of the
CellAlgoExtSwitch.HeavyLoadPrfmOptSwitch parameter.
As shown in Figure 6-1, Cell A and Cell C are intra-frequency neighboring cells,
and Cell B is an inter-frequency neighboring cell of Cell A and Cell C. A UE camps
on Cell A and is located in the overlapping area of Cell A and Cell C, causing
uplink intra-frequency interference to Cell C.
the target handover frequency. The cell with the highest RSRP on this
frequency (for example, Cell B) is the target handover cell.
6.2.1 Benefits
In high-density and heavy-load scenarios, when the uplink load of a cell ranges
from 60% to 75%, the average uplink user-perceived rate increases by 5% to 10%.
When the uplink load of a cell is greater than 75%, the average uplink user-
perceived rate increases by 10% to 20%. In other scenarios, or in high-density and
heavy-load scenarios where the uplink load of a cell is less than 60%, enabling
this feature has neither gains nor negative impacts.
