ROHC(Robust Header Compression) introduction
Page 17
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.
LOFD-001017 RObust Header Compression (ROHC)
ROHC
Principles & basic framework
The compressor sends the data packets after ROHC compression and also the information about the compressed
header
The compressor and de-compressor maintain the context at the TX and RX ends respectively to ensure the
context synchronization.
The de-compressor restores the original data packets based on the context.
Page 18
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.
LOFD-001017 RObust Header Compression (ROHC)
ROHC
Operating Mode of ROHC
The initial operating mode of the compressor must be U-Mode,
which then gradually switches to O-Mode or R-Mode. The
operating mode transition is determined by the de-compressor.
When the eNodeB is the compressor, the UE works as the de-
compressor and orders the eNodeB to change the operating
mode.
When the eNodeB is the de-compressor, it orders the UE to
change the operating mode based on the
PdcpRohcPara.HighestMode parameter.
If the PdcpRohcPara.HighestMode parameter is set to
R_MODE(Bi-Directional Reliable Mode), the UE can switch
to a higher mode (O-Mode or R-Mode) and stay in R-Mode.
If the PdcpRohcPara.HighestMode parameter is set to
O_MODE(Bi-directional Optimistic Mode), the UE can switch
to and stay in O-Mode.
The decompressor orders the compressor to change the
operating mode by providing feedback, such as ACK and NACK.
Page 19
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.
During initial access, if both the compressor and the decompressor
support ROHC, ROHC is started by default when a bearer for VoIP
service is set up but is not started for non-VoIP services
 ROHC is active for all UE with ROHC capability
During the inter-eNodeB handover of the UE, the source eNodeB informs
the target eNodeB of the ROHC capability of the UE, and the target
eNodeB recalculates the actual capability of the UE. After the handover,
the UE and eNodeB operate with the new ROHC parameters

Delay based scheduling
Page 27
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.
1. Background
- Ul dynamic scheduling prioritization for VoIP service
 Generally, dynamic scheduling priorities are based on
 the QoS requirements of different services
 the radio channel quality of UE
 the fairness among users
 VoIP service is sensitive to packet delay
 If user A (at the cell center) is always scheduled prior to
user B (at the cell edge), A could get very small packet delay
and much better voice quality than B
 B’s voice quality could be unacceptable, especially
in VoIP service scenarios at high load
VoIP user B
VoIP user A
Ul dynamic scheduling for VoIP
services
Page 28
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.
2. Solutions Introduction
- Ul delay-based dynamic scheduling prioritization for VoIP service
• Delay-based dynamic scheduling priority calculation
› Apply a delay-weighted scheduling prioritization for VoIP service
» delay=SRperiod/2+scheduling waiting time in eNB
› The larger the VoIP packet delay is, the higher the scheduling priority results
» If the delay is larger than 25ms(hard codec in eNB), the priority will be increased.
» eNB will calculate the priority of VoIP users in each TTI.
› A more balanced scheduling order helps improve the voice quality of UEs suffering from bad radio
channel quality
Page 29

3. Impact Analysis 1/2
• Positive Impact (Gain)
› VoIP capacity gain around 10%
› Simulation conditions:
» Network topology:3GPP Case1,7x3
» Bandwidth:5M、10M、20M
» Carrier Frequency:2.0G
» Channel model:SCME
» Traffic mode:VoIP AMR 12.2k,VAF 0.5
» Schedule mode:DS /DDS /SPS;RLC Segment is considered;ROHC is not considered.
• Negative Impacts
› In light load of VoIP scenario, there is no negative impact.
› In heavy load of VoIP scenario:
» The scheduling delay of VoIP in cell center would be a little longer when there are a lot of VoIP users in cell edge. But it will not
impact this VoIP user’s QoE for the 25ms delay factor limitation.
» Because the SR scheduling could not distinguish the specified services, the Pingidle2activeattach delay could be longer. The
uplink data throughput and the downlink TCP service throughput may be impacted by SR delay reason.

Background
• There are some areas in EUTRAN that are not suitable to provide IMS
based VoIP as the voice solution of LTE.
• The use case could be one of the followings:
› The transmission performance in some areas could not meet the delay requirement for
VoLTE service.
› The EUTRAN in some areas from other MOCN operators or other vendors could not
provide VoLTE or VoLTE mobility continuity(SRVCC) services.
› There are different strategies of operators to launch VoLTE service in some dedicated
areas and not in other areas.
› There are different strategies of operators to launch VoLTE service in different sites
type(MarcoMicro).
› And so on

Solution introduction-for idle mode
• Idle mode solution
› The serving PLMN shall send an indication toward the UE during the Attach procedure and TAU
procedures if an IMS voice over PS session is supported. This indication is per TAI list.(3GPP
23.401).
› MME should send the different strategies to UEs that it supports VoLTE in some TAIs and doesn’t
support VoLTE in other TAI s(For 3GPP, if not support VoLTE, it should support CSFB for voice).
› So UE will perform VoLTE in VoLTE available TAI area and CSFB in VoLTE unavailable TAI area.

Page 45
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.
Impact
• The VoLTE forbidden TAI should be the same with the configuration in
MME to make sure that the active mode solution is consistent with the
idle one.
• Once eNB set VoLTE capability off, it will refuse all the QCI1 services in
setup or handover in or reestablishment procedure and feedback “NOT-
supported-QCI”. So the eNB with VoLTE off indication should be
included in the VoLTE forbidden TAI area.

ROHC(Robust Header Compression) introduction
  • 17. Page 17 HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. LOFD-001017 RObust Header Compression (ROHC) ROHC Principles & basic framework The compressor sends the data packets after ROHC compression and also the information about the compressed header The compressor and de-compressor maintain the context at the TX and RX ends respectively to ensure the context synchronization. The de-compressor restores the original data packets based on the context.
  • 18. Page 18 HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. LOFD-001017 RObust Header Compression (ROHC) ROHC Operating Mode of ROHC The initial operating mode of the compressor must be U-Mode, which then gradually switches to O-Mode or R-Mode. The operating mode transition is determined by the de-compressor. When the eNodeB is the compressor, the UE works as the de- compressor and orders the eNodeB to change the operating mode. When the eNodeB is the de-compressor, it orders the UE to change the operating mode based on the PdcpRohcPara.HighestMode parameter. If the PdcpRohcPara.HighestMode parameter is set to R_MODE(Bi-Directional Reliable Mode), the UE can switch to a higher mode (O-Mode or R-Mode) and stay in R-Mode. If the PdcpRohcPara.HighestMode parameter is set to O_MODE(Bi-directional Optimistic Mode), the UE can switch to and stay in O-Mode. The decompressor orders the compressor to change the operating mode by providing feedback, such as ACK and NACK.
  • 19. Page 19 HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. During initial access, if both the compressor and the decompressor support ROHC, ROHC is started by default when a bearer for VoIP service is set up but is not started for non-VoIP services  ROHC is active for all UE with ROHC capability During the inter-eNodeB handover of the UE, the source eNodeB informs the target eNodeB of the ROHC capability of the UE, and the target eNodeB recalculates the actual capability of the UE. After the handover, the UE and eNodeB operate with the new ROHC parameters LOFD-001017 RObust Header Compression (ROHC) ROHC Initial & handover procedure

Impact Analysis 1/2 • Positive Impact (Gain) › VoIP capacity gain around 10% › Simulation conditions: » Network topology:3GPP Case1,7x3 » Bandwidth:5M、10M、20M » Carrier Frequency:2.0G » Channel model:SCME » Traffic mode:VoIP AMR 12.2k,VAF 0.5 » Schedule mode:DS /DDS /SPS;RLC Segment is considered;ROHC is not considered. • Negative Impacts › In light load of VoIP scenario, there is no negative impact. › In heavy load of VoIP scenario: » The scheduling delay of VoIP in cell center would be a little longer when there are a lot of VoIP users in cell edge. But it will not impact this VoIP user’s QoE for the 25ms delay factor limitation. » Because the SR scheduling could not distinguish the specified services, the Pingidle2activeattach delay could be longer. The uplink data throughput and the downlink TCP service throughput may be impacted by SR delay reason.

  • 42. Page 42 HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Background • There are some areas in EUTRAN that are not suitable to provide IMS based VoIP as the voice solution of LTE. • The use case could be one of the followings: › The transmission performance in some areas could not meet the delay requirement for VoLTE service. › The EUTRAN in some areas from other MOCN operators or other vendors could not provide VoLTE or VoLTE mobility continuity(SRVCC) services. › There are different strategies of operators to launch VoLTE service in some dedicated areas and not in other areas. › There are different strategies of operators to launch VoLTE service in different sites type(MarcoMicro). › And so on
  • 43. Page 43 HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Solution introduction-for idle mode • Idle mode solution › The serving PLMN shall send an indication toward the UE during the Attach procedure and TAU procedures if an IMS voice over PS session is supported. This indication is per TAI list.(3GPP 23.401). › MME should send the different strategies to UEs that it supports VoLTE in some TAIs and doesn’t support VoLTE in other TAI s(For 3GPP, if not support VoLTE, it should support CSFB for voice). › So UE will perform VoLTE in VoLTE available TAI area and CSFB in VoLTE unavailable TAI area. VoLTE unavailable TAI (CSFB avaialble) MME VoLTE available TAI users users For idle UE, the voice solution selection is controlled by MME. And the control level of MME is TAIs.
  • 44. Page 44 HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Solution introduction-for active mode For active UE, the VoLTE mobility is controlled by eNB and the level is TAI too. UE has a voice call(QCI=1) eNB filters the reported cells based on the VoLTE HO blacklist >=1? Pick the strongest cell to perform intra frequency HO N Y Y If UE triggered A3 event If UE triggered inter frequency A2 If UE triggered inter RAT A2 eNB filters the measuring frequencies based on VoLTE HO blacklist UE reports A4 event? eNB filters the reported cells based on the VoLTE HO blacklist >=1? Pick the strongest cell to perform inter frequency HO Y Y N eNB sends the B1 measurement control UE reports B1 event SRVCC N N VoLTE available (Cell3) VoLTE unavailable (Cell2) MME VoLTE available (Cell1) UE UE UMTS VoLTE unavailable (FDD-F2) MME VoLTE available (FDD-F1) UE UE eNB will filter the neighboring cells based on VoLTE forbidden TAI configuration during QCI1 mobility
  • 45. Page 45 HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Impact • The VoLTE forbidden TAI should be the same with the configuration in MME to make sure that the active mode solution is consistent with the idle one. • Once eNB set VoLTE capability off, it will refuse all the QCI1 services in setup or handover in or reestablishment procedure and feedback “NOT- supported-QCI”. So the eNB with VoLTE off indication should be included in the VoLTE forbidden TAI area.
  • 46. Page 46 HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

ENODEBALGOSWITCH EutranVoipSupportSwitch ON If turning on, EUTRAN supports VoIP. EUTRANVOIPHOBLKLIST MCCMNCTAC NA VoLTE HO blacklist means VoLTE handover in this TAI is allowed
  • 47. Page 47 HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Deployment suggestion Huawei eNB-VoLTE ON VoLTE OFF VoLTE ON In Huawei eNB, TAC blacklist(EUTRANVOIPHOBLKLIST) is suggested to be configured to control the VoLTE handover out. VoIP capability (EutranVoipSupportSwitch) is no need to be configured as Huawei eNB has controlled the VoLTE HO out. Other vendor’s eNB-VoLTE ON Huawei eNB- VoLTE OFF If there is no similar function like TAC blacklist for VoLTE in other vendor’s eNB, it is suggested to configure VOIP capability switch (EutranVoipSupportSwitch) off in Huawei eNB in the edge of VoLTE off area.
