MIMO Rank2 Optimization Guideline RevA
MIMO Rank2 Optimization Guideline RevA
March 2019
MIMO understanding
▪ Follow UE RI suggestion
▪ Select MCS basing on CQI
▪ May consider other
Schedule ➢ Transmission Mode (TM)
conditions
– TM3, default setting
o Open Loop Spatial Multiplexing
Rank1 (Transmit Diversity)
– Rank1, use for cell edge, with low
SINR
o Open Loop Spatial Multiplexing
Rank2
Measure – Rank2, use for improve
throughput, with high SINR
Report
▪ Measure downlink signal
▪ Calculate CQI and RI
▪ Report CSI
❖ The algorithm is in the UE, ENB can’t affect it. And different chip has
different algorithm.

Qualcomm HISI
❖ UE measure the RS from 2 ports, calculate the SINR, also consider the power balance of 2
ports (unbalanced power may affect the signal correlation)
– HISI Chip: if the power difference is more than or equal to 10dB, will consider it
unbalance, then RI will be 1, not 2
– Qualcomm Chip, and others: may use 5~10dB for the unbalanced power.

• Return Loss / VSWR check after Yes
— Flow Rank2 Investigation:
• Partial Cross Feeder check tshoot
No > 20%
• Configuration / Installation check as MOP
No Optimization No
Rank2 > Design ASM
Start
20% Check OK? - Site Visit
- Tilting
Yes - Re-azimuth CET No
Yes OK?
- Coverage check (the coverage of the
Design Review antenna’s beam pointing to)
- User distribution check (UE location
distribution (on cell centre/cell edge) Yes
End
Footnote :
• Even all sectors in one site have good ASM result, Rank2 statistics not always show value higher than 20%.
• As this Rank2 depends on
• the coverage of the antenna’s beam pointing to
• UE location distribution (on cell centre/cell edge)
• number of traffic/connected users or samples etc

Case Study 5 : LTE Muara Baru Ujung
ASM OK, Rank2 Solved After HW Check and Optim
Troubleshooting action
❖ Checked and confirmed all antenna system already properly
installed → Rank2 still not OK
❖ Changed optical cable
❖ Changed SFP module
❖ Changed antenna connection with other sector’s
antenna
❖ Changed jumper cable
❖ Changed antenna mechanical and electrical tilting
❖ Found from visit : Antenna Sector 2 facing Open Area Pelabuhan
Ikan
❖ Temporarily changed antenna azimuth → Rank2 tend improved
› Very good radio environment (SINR is around 20dB), and the PDSCH BLER is also very low.
But the RI is always 1.

Case study1-outdoor (2/4)
— So the possible issue should be unbalanced power of 2 ports.
— RRU, Antenna, Cable, Connector, and other equipments in the route are all suspected.
— This site uses beautified antenna, and also was installed a CSFU to eliminate the
interference to F band. See below figure:

— So there is a new requirement for LTE network: VSWR need to meet not only
engineering requirement, but also need to meet the power balance request
for MIMO. We suggest the power difference of 2 ports should be less than
5dB at least.

Case study2-indoor (1/3)
❖ RRU different port covers different area
2
– Customer uses that way to save RRU resource
R
– RRU should be set MIMO (2 branch, 2 tx antenna), but maybe
1
R
U 4
no chance to use MIMO
3
– It will impact on RANK statistics
3
– It also will impact on RANK statistics
3
RSRP, SINR are all very good, but can’t use RANK2, throughput is only around 47Mbps
❖ Troubleshooting
— Test on different port, Check VSWR difference, Scanning, Activate feature (antenna system
monitoring) to troubleshoot unbalanced power
❖ Solution
— DL SINR optimization to improve overall rank2%
— Solve hardware issue (RRU, antenna, cable, connector, combiner, coupler, power splitter…) to balance
the power of 2 ports
