5PROCESS AND METHODOLOGY
5.1TOOLS AND RESOURCES
Tools used for the Network Optimization are described in the Alcatel-Lucent LTE/E-UTRANTechnology Trial Test Tools document.
5.2OPTIMIZATION TOOLS
A set of tools are needed to carry out the optimization objectives:
Simulation Tool for RF design: Alcatel-Lucent uses A9955. Used for antenna change validation andRF analysis. There must be consistency with the methods used by the customer so it is possible touse their solution if it has been validated by Alcatel-Lucent teams.
Data Acquisition Platform (DAP): currently Nixt Platform composed of JSDU Nixt E6474A, W1314Areceiver and 1 to 4 test mobiles.
Tests Mobiles: typically LGE, Motorola, Samsung and Bandrich. Also IPW or Sequans UEs for TDDsystems.
Post processing platform (PPP): Gladiator or eDAT (ALU internal), which allow automatic andcustomized KPI generation, built-in failure characterization, as well as UE and Call Tracesynchronization capabilities (for a deeper and accurate analysis).
For enhanced troubleshooting, the usage of a protocol analyzer (Agilent DNA) may be required, inparticular to monitor the S1 and X2 interfaces.
Project Database: For a correct follow-up of all the optimization activities it is mandatory to have acommon and unique project information system (Project Database) which contains the followinginformation:
Site configuration (geographical coordinates, antenna height/azimuth/tilt)Site issuesUpdated operations planImplemented/Planned ChangesMetrics: performance KPI, outage times, workload, delays, escalated issues etc.Work Orders and implementation delays
Reporting templatesEquipment trackingList of raised ARs

6OPTIMIZATION PARAMETERS OVERVIEW
This chapter is intended to present various parameters existing in ALU RAN, grouped per main areaof interest in trials and network deployments. Grouping was made such that it reflects various typesof tests that are being performed during trials and KPIs tests that might as well be addressed duringtrials and network deployment.Parameters have been split by following domains:
CoverageAttach /DetachThroughputLatencyCapacityMobility
Due to the wide scope of mobility, the parameters impacting mobility have been further divided in:
LTE LTE mobilityLTE UMTS mobilityLTE - GSM mobilityLTE HRPD mobility
Inside each group, parameters are ordered by the most important and relevant for optimizationactivities. They should be optimized in case of strong constraints for performance (very demandingKPI, strong competition).To each parameter is associated a recommended value that can be obtained from [1] forparameters that have not been yet optimized in field activities. The parameters for which adifferent, optimized, value have been obtained in various field tests, have recommended valuesspecified in the corresponding paragraphs along with some precisions about the conditions in whichthe optimized value have been obtained (cluster, load).

8COVERAGE OPTIMIZATION HINTS
In this chapter it will be highlighted the main focus of testing and the primary steps that will allow
to optimize a specific domain and the most important /priority parameters; in this case the domainaddressed is coverage in LTE.In this chapter it will be beaked in two sub-domains; Downlink Coverage and Uplink Coverage.Normally some questions arise, such as:
When to perform coverage optimization?Which parameters can help extending /reducing the coverage?
Mainly the Coverage optimization can occur when the Link Budget is below expectations(Theoretical calculation).
Before starting playing with the parameterization; usually is part of best practice rules for in NearCell /Mid Cell & Cell Edge test to follow up simple steps as:
Check the CQIEvaluate RSSI vs. SNR relationEvaluate RSRP vs. RSRQThroughput Values for specific location
If we could guarantee that these values are normal, the chances to have performance issues aremuch less difficult to occur.
If regardless of the correct values, still facing some performance issues, the below parameters canbe used in order to correct the situation.
When changing parameters; you can adopt a more error-free approach, meaning that a parameter is
changed at each time. If three or four parameters are changed same time it could be difficult tounderstand which one is bringing the improvement in performance.
As note; please remember that this can be a static test in each position, or can be a moving testthe same principles can be applied in both situations.
8.1PARAMETERS OPTIMIZATION FOR IMPROVING DOWNLINKCOVERAGE
8.1.1REFERENCESIGNALPOWER
The Reference Signal Poweris a key RF parameter that impacts coverage.
Parameter referenceSignalPower configures the DL RS absolute power applied per ResourceElement (REG) and per transmit antenna. This level is used as a power level reference (the powerlevels for all the other DL signals and channels are set relative to it).
ATTENTION! When modifying this parameter, all other signal power setting will be automaticallyadjusted in accordance to a power offset relative to the referenceSignalPower.
This parameter is expressed in dBm. It is converted into linear scale (miliwatts) according to the
following formula:
P [mW] = 100.1referenceSignalPower

Expected behaviour when changing this parameter:The higher the setting, the larger the cell coverage on the downlink, but leaves smaller powerheadroom available for other downlink signals and channels.The lower the value, the smaller the cell coverage on the downlink axis, but larger power headroomis available for other downlink signals and channels.
Note: The following table translates the expected behaviour in terms of cellDLTotalPower whenchanging the reference Signal Power; some difference may occur if other sets of parameters areused also.

PHICH channels are grouped in PHICH groups. Each PHICH group consists of 8PHICH channels (hence conveys 8 ACK/NACKs) that use the same resources,PHICH channels of a same group being separated by orthogonal sequences.
In FDD, the number of PHICH groups in a subframe is:

A PHICH group consists of 3 REGs over either 1 or 3 OFDM symbols, depending on the value ofparameter phich-Duration (normal or extended). This parameter canonly be set to extendedif the CFI is equal to 3.
Expected behaviour when changing this parameter:
Setting the value low will result in lower number of PHICH groups in a subframe, so the higher thenumber of ACK/NACKs that need to be sent out the longer the buffer, eventually leading to failingto transmit the messages.Setting value high will impact in having a higher number of PHICH groups in a subframe, so thefewer ACK/NACKs needed to be transmitted, OFDM symbols are not used and the allocated
resources for this process go to waste.
8.2PARAMETERS OPTIMIZATION FOR IMPROVING UPLINK COVERAGE
8.2.1SIRTARGETFORREFERENCEPUCCHFORMAT
The PUCCH power control procedure is used to guarantee the required error rate. For this purpose,it aims at achieving a target SIR the value of which guarantees the required error rate. The SIRtarget is set to sIRTargetforReferencePUCCHFormat for PUCCH Format 1A and tosIRTargetforReferencePUCCHFormat + deltaFPUCCHFormat1b for PUCCH format 1B.
Note that the PUCCH power control procedure assumes shortened PUCCH Format to account for theSRS configuration.
This parameter is a key RF optimization parameter. Higher settings of this parameter will improvePUCCH reception, but will also drive higher UE TX power leading to interference to neighbouringcells, and vice-versa.
Note:Recent results coming from VzW FSA, are pointing for a different value main justificationis that in order to support dynamic change of the number of receiving antennas (and 4xreceive), in LA4 to have the same effect /influence they need to be adjusted.
8.2.2SECORRINIT, SECORRSTEPFORLOWERBLER &SECORRSTEPFORHIGHERBLER
The eNB starts Spectrum Efficiency Correction when the call setup is completed using these two
parameters and sEcorrMin, sEcorrMax.
sEcorrInit is the initial correction factor value applied at call setup.

This parameter controls the initial value (in dB) of correction metric SEcorr managed by the linkadaptation function to maintain the PUSCH initial HARQ BLER around its target value.
The lower the sEcorrInit value, the more conservative is the PUSCH link adaptation starting pointand, consequently, the lower the PUSCH MCS. In other words, the lower the sEcorrInit values, thelower is the initial PUSCH MCS value, and the lower are the risks of observing high BLER value at callsetup or on the target cell just after handover.
Note however that the lower the sEcorrInit value, the longer the link adaptation will take toconverge to its setpoint. This may impact the maximum achievable throughput for a brief period(exact time depends on traffic activity) after call setup or handover.
Note:Recent results coming from VzW FSA, are pointing for a different value main justificationis that in order to support dynamic change of the number of receiving antennas (and 4x
receive), in LA4 to have the same effect /influence they need to be adjusted.
sEcorrStepForLowerBLER and sEcorrStepForHigherBLER parameters are key RF optimizationparameters. Higher step sizes will allow the eNodeB to make quicker compensation to any sourcesof SINR-to-MCS conversion error, but could lead to wider swings in data rates and HARQperformance. Lower settings will slow down the spectrum efficiency correction process, impactingHARQ performance.
The tuning of the table of SE_corr values (i.e. sEcorrStepForLowerBLER and
sEcorrStepForLowerBLER) is performed so that if N =floor(x), then the ratio of the SE_corr valuesaround the target HARQ Tx rate satisfies the following condition:
The other values in the SE_corr tables are set in order to allow fast convergence around that setpoint.

The uplink synchronization detection mechanism is based on the SIR metric derived from theSounding Reference Signal observations. Upon processing of an SRS measurement report from L1related to user k, the UL scheduler evaluates the UL synchronization status of that user bycomparing the SRS synchronization metric computed to threshold levels as follows:
The threshold for the transition from In sync state to out of sync state is configured byparameter ulSyncSINRsyncToOOSTreshold,i.e.If the UE is assumed in In Sync state and the following condition is met:SINRsync(userk) ulSyncSINROOStoSyncThresholdThen the user is considered in In Sync state by the MAC scheduler.
Note that the tuning must satisfy the following condition:ulSyncSINRsyncToOOSTreshold < ulSyncSINROOStoSyncTreshold
Concerning the deltaFPUCCHFormat1; the setting of the UE Transmit Power PPUCCH for PUCCH in
subframe i is defined by PPUCCH (i) = min{Pmax, P0 _ PUCCH + PL + F_ PUCCH +g(i)} [dBm]Where F _ PUCCH denotes the (PUCCH) format specific power offset; the format dependent poweroffset TF_PUCCH (TF) is defined on a per cell basis and configured by parameterdeltaFPUCCHFormat1 for format 1.
Note:Recent results coming from VzW FSA, are pointing for a different value main justification isthat in order to support dynamic change of the number of receiving antennas (and 4x receive),in LA4 to have the same effect /influence they need to be adjusted.
8.2.4DELTAFPUCCHFORMAT1
This parameter is used for setting the transmit power of SR over PUCCH by the UE. LA3.0 eNodeBrelies on Scheduling Request on PUCCH from UE for scheduling uplink grants. If the SR is notreceived by the eNodeB, it will trigger the UE to declare SRmax failure, which in turn will triggereNodeBs OOS condition.Under certain conditions the SR power may not be sufficient to ensuredetection. By boosting the SR transmit power, it increases the SR detection likelihood at theeNodeB.
Concerning the deltaFPUCCHFormat1; the setting of the UE Transmit Power PPUCCH for PUCCH in
subframe i is defined by PPUCCH (i) = min{Pmax, P0 _ PUCCH + PL + F_ PUCCH +g(i)} [dBm]Where F _ PUCCH denotes the (PUCCH) format specific power offset; the format dependent poweroffset TF_PUCCH (TF) is defined on a per cell basis and configured by parameterdeltaFPUCCHFormat1 for format 1.
