UE
 Low RSRP of the serving cell and high RSRP of the target cell.
 Unconfigured neighbor relationships: If the distance between the UE
and the serving eNodeB is smaller than the average inter-site
distance, the root cause of low throughput is missing configuration of
neighboring cells.
 If the distance between the UE and the serving cell is greater than the
average inter-site distance, the root cause of low throughput is island
coverage.
 If neighbor relationships are configured and the root cause of low
throughput is delayed handover, adjust handover parameters based
on the signal level difference between the neighboring cell and the
serving cell.
Weak Coverage Root Cause Location
HISILICON SEMICONDUCTOR

 At the coverage border of multiple neighboring cells that have small
difference in the signal level, there is no primary serving cells with strong
signals, increasing the probability of ping-pong handovers.

Weak Coverage Root Cause Location

UE
 Due to link reciprocity in LTE TDD networks, path loss imbalance occurs
between the uplink and downlink. As a result, downlink signals may be too
weak for UEs far from eNodeBs to receive, causing link exceptions. This root
cause does not lead to problems to LTE FDD cells.
Serving cell UE
 UEs close to the serving eNodeB are in weak coverage areas. This
phenomenon is called coverage hole. This occurs because of a coverage
hole, mostly in indoor scenarios close to eNodeBs

 The RSRP of the serving cell is high, but the channel quality is low.
 If the serving cell has an intra-frequency neighboring cell with a similar
RSRP value, intra-frequency interference has a large impact on the
throughput. If PCI mod 3 conflicts occur, the SINR deteriorates.
 If the serving cell has no intra-frequency neighboring cells or its
neighboring cells have low RSRP, inter-RAT interference may occur,
such as intermodulation interference of GSM 1800 band to band F and
outband interference from PAS.

Interference Root Cause Location
 If PCI mod 3 conflicts occur between the serving cell and neighboring cells and
the reception level of the serving cell is lower than 6 dB, interference occurs in
pilot channels. As a result, the SINR on the RS channel deteriorates, and intra-
frequency PCI mod 3 conflicts occur, affecting the throughput.

 Interference due to azimuth exceptions occurs if the following conditions are met at the
same time:
• Relative locations between the serving cell and neighboring cells do not cause
overlapping coverage.
• UEs receive signals from the neighboring cells.
• PCI mod 3 conflicts occur.
• The reception level of the serving cell is lower than 6 dB.

 Overshoot coverage of interference cells occurs when signals
from a remote cell passing through neighboring cells in between
cause interfere to the serving cell.
 If PCI mod 3 conflicts do not occur in multiple cells but
the RSRP of these cells are close, there is a probability
that carriers for data service transmission collide with
the RS channel, causing interference to the carriers. As
a result, the SINR deteriorates, and the throughput of
the serving cell decreases, causing pilot pollution.

Appendix 1: Throughput Rate Calculation Principles
• Total number of symbols
› 100 RBs x 12 Carriers x14 Symbols
• Cell-specific RS
› 16 resource elements (REs) are available for each subframe in cells have two-port antennas. Overhead = 16/(14 x 12)
= 9.5%
• P-SCH and S-SCH
› The center bandwidth 1.08 MHz is occupied, where the signal occupies 62 subcarriers and five carriers at each side
act as protection zones.
› Overhead = 2 x [(65 + 5 + 5) x 2/(14 x 12 x 100)]/10 ms = 0.2%
• PDCCH
› The PDCCH occupies one to three OFDM symbols. The estimated number of OFDM symbols is the average value 2:
(1 + 2 + 3)/3 = 2.
› Overhead = (2 x 12 – 14)/(14 x 12) = 12% (excluding REs occupied by the RS)
• PCFICH and PHICH
› The PCFICH occupies four REGs, and the PHICH occupies three REGs.
› Overhead = (4 x 4 + 3 x 4)/(14 x 12 x 100) = 0.17%
HISILICON SEMICONDUCTOR
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Page 32
HUAWEI Confidential
• Broadcast channel
› PBCH: The first four OFDM symbols for each wireless frame with slot No. 1 are obtained: [(4 x 72)/(14 x 12 x 100)]/10 ms =
0.2%
› The SIB-1 period is 20 ms, the number of occupied RBs is 13, and the occupation overhead is calculated: (13/100)/20 ms =
0.65%
› The SI-1 period is 40 ms, the number of occupied RBs is 12, and the occupation overhead is calculated: (12/100)/40 ms =
0.3%
› The SI-2 period is 80 ms, the number of occupied RBs is 19, and the occupation overhead is calculated: (19/100)/80 ms =
0.24%
› The SI-3 period is 80 ms, the number of occupied RBs is 41, and the occupation overhead is calculated: (41/100)/80 ms =
0.51%
› The SI-4 period is 160 ms, the number of occupied RBs is 32, and the occupation overhead is calculated: (32/100)/160 ms
= 0.2%
› The SI-5 period is 160 ms, the number of occupied RBs is 32, and the occupation overhead is calculated: (32/100)/160 ms
= 0.2%
› Delivering information about SI from 1 to 5 is optional. The half overhead value is calculated and SIB-1 is added so the total
overhead is 1.375%.
• FDD peak value
› If the coding rate is 1 and 64QAM modulation mode used (each RE occupies 6 bits), the peak rate is calculated using the
following formula in 20 MHz LTE signal 2 x 2 MIMO: [100 x 12 x 14 x (1 – 9.5% – 0.2% – 12% – 0.17% – 0.2% – 1.375%) x
6 x 2]/1 ms = 154.33 Mbit/s

Weak Coverage Root Cause Location
  • 13. HISILICON SEMICONDUCTOR HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Page 13 HUAWEI Confidential  At the coverage border of multiple neighboring cells that have small difference in the signal level, there is no primary serving cells with strong signals, increasing the probability of ping-pong handovers. Serving cell Neighboring cell 1 UE Neighboring cell 2 -102 dBm -101 dBm -104 dBm Weak Coverage Root Cause Location Serving cell UE  Due to link reciprocity in LTE TDD networks, path loss imbalance occurs between the uplink and downlink. As a result, downlink signals may be too weak for UEs far from eNodeBs to receive, causing link exceptions. This root cause does not lead to problems to LTE FDD cells. Serving cell UE  UEs close to the serving eNodeB are in weak coverage areas. This phenomenon is called coverage hole. This occurs because of a coverage hole, mostly in indoor scenarios close to eNodeBs

If PCI mod 3 conflicts occur, the SINR deteriorates.  If the serving cell has no intra-frequency neighboring cells or its neighboring cells have low RSRP, inter-RAT interference may occur, such as intermodulation interference of GSM 1800 band to band F and outband interference from PAS.

  • 15. HISILICON SEMICONDUCTOR HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Page 15 HUAWEI Confidential Interference Root Cause Location  If PCI mod 3 conflicts occur between the serving cell and neighboring cells and the reception level of the serving cell is lower than 6 dB, interference occurs in pilot channels. As a result, the SINR on the RS channel deteriorates, and intra- frequency PCI mod 3 conflicts occur, affecting the throughput. Serving cell Neighboring cell UE PCI: 0 PCI: 6 -80 dBm -84 dBm  Interference due to azimuth exceptions occurs if the following conditions are met at the same time: • Relative locations between the serving cell and neighboring cells do not cause overlapping coverage. • UEs receive signals from the neighboring cells. • PCI mod 3 conflicts occur. • The reception level of the serving cell is lower than 6 dB.  Method of checking the azimuths of cells (relative locations between cells)
  • 16. HISILICON SEMICONDUCTOR HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Page 16 HUAWEI Confidential Interference cell Serving cell Neighboring cell UE PCI: 0 PCI: 6 -80 dBm -84 dBm  Overshoot coverage of interference cells occurs when signals from a remote cell passing through neighboring cells in between cause interfere to the serving cell.  If PCI mod 3 conflicts do not occur in multiple cells but the RSRP of these cells are close, there is a probability that carriers for data service transmission collide with the RS channel, causing interference to the carriers. As a result, the SINR deteriorates, and the throughput of the serving cell decreases, causing pilot pollution.
