Control channel resourcesUL Control Channel ResourcesPUCCHnRB,PUCCH depends on number of SR and CQI resources Focus Area for High Capacity ParametersPRACHnRB,PRACH in 1 radio frame is independent of bandwidth and is fixed for different cell rangeDL Control Channel ResourcesPDCCHnRE,PDCCH depends on CFI Focus Area for High Capacity ParametersPCFICHnRE,PCFICH in 1 radio frame is 160, independent of bandwidth and # of antenna portsPHICHnRE,PHICH in 1 radio frame depends on bandwidth and is fixed for different bandwidthPBCHnRE,PBCH in 1 radio frame is 240, independent of bandwidth and # of antenna portsPucch resourcesintroPUCCH is used for transmittingSR, HARQ ACK/NACK (PUCCH Format 1)CQI, RI (PUCCH Format 2)UE is allocated SR and CQI resources during setup procedure, and the resources are kept as long as UE is UL synchronized.UE is not allowed to connect to a cell if theres no free SR resourcesnoOfPucchSrUsers and noOfPucchCqiUsers determine number of resources for SR and CQI per cellPUCCH is allocated by2 RB at the band edges (RB-pair)Time domain sharing, each PUCCH is assigned to a UE with a periodicity deciding which sub-frame UE can access PUCCH (default periodicity for CQI is 80ms, SR is 10ms)Current settingnoOfPucchSrUsers, noOfPucchCqiUsers = 320

Odd number will leave 1 RB-pair unused by PUCCH and PUSCH Current setting (noOfPucchSrUsers = noOfPucchCqiUsers = 320)nPUCCH,SR = [320/10 * 10/10] = 32nRB,Format1 = [(32+44)/36] = 3nRB,Format2 = [320/(4*80) * 10/10] = 1nRB,PUCCH = 3 + 1 = 4

Pdcch resourcesadaptive pdcch (1/2)PDCCH is used for UL/DL scheduling assignments, e.g. PUSCH/PDSCH resource indication, transport format indication, HARQ info and PUCCH/PUSCH PC commandsNumber of OFDM symbols available for PDCCH in a sub-frame is CFI. Max OFDM symbols, limited by pdcchCfiMode, is not exceeded
Recommended setting:Bandwidth =< 10MHz : CFI_AUTO_MAXIMUM_3 (current setting), to handle peaks of PDCCH loadBandwidth > 10MHz : CFI_AUTO_MAXIMUM_2, since higher number of symbols for PDCCH can increase RB pairs for PUCCH, which leads to reduced UL peak rate

Main contributors (signaling) for MP LoadRRC Connection SetupsIncoming HandoversPaging Requests
Mp load1.1 RRC Connection setup intensity(due to UE releases by inactivity)The time a UE can be inactive before it is released is controlled by tInactivityTimerCurrent setting for tInactivityTimer is 10s, requirement from UE vendorRecommend to change to 30s to reduce signaling load for high capacity cells
For tInactivityTimer set to 30s, E-RAB drop rate will increase due to the E-RAB drops only consider the abnormal E-RAB Releases if there was data in buffer (i.e. active).
Number of UEs stay in RRC_Connected state will be larger, thus lowering the number of available Connected Users License for new users Mp load1.2 RRC Connection setup intensity(due to UE releases by rLC Supervision) cont

Mp load1.2 RRC Connection setup intensity(due to UE releases by rLC Supervision) RLC re-transmissions are controlled byMax # RLC re-transmissions before stopping and indicating to RRC max RLC re-tx reached SRB/DRB :: dlMaxRetxThreshold (Current setting: 8/8, recommended, no change)SRB/DRB :: ulMaxRetxThreshold (Current setting: 8/8, recommended, no change)Poll timer for RLC re-Tx (if no status report received)SRB/DRB :: tPollRetransmitDl (Current: 45ms/50ms, recommend 80ms/80ms)SRB/DRB :: tPollRetransmitUl (Current: 45ms/50ms, recommend 80ms/80ms)
Increase Poll timer may reduce SE/TTI usage for re-Tx and free SE/TTI for traffic, but re-Tx time is extended from 360-400ms to 640ms (80ms x 8)

Propose to change a3offset to 5dB (handover margin increased to 6dB) for high capacity cells to reduce signaling load. a3offsetAnrDelta remains unchanged
