ICIC Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
The frequency reuse factor of LTE networks is 1, and inter-cell interference is a crucial issue
affecting overall LTE network performance. ICIC uses the interference randomization
technique in the uplink and downlink to ensure that the resource blocks (RBs) allocated in
interfering cells do not overlap. In this way, inter-cell interference is reduced. Figure 2-1
illustrates interference randomization.

3.1.2 LBFD-00202202 Uplink Static Inter-Cell Interference

Coordination
This feature mainly provides the uplink interference randomization function for the PUSCH.
This function can be used in any scenarios where frequency selective scheduling is not used.
For details, see 3.2.4 Uplink Interference Randomization.
3.2 Principles
3.2.1 Downlink Interference Randomization
On a lightly loaded network with multiple cells, downlink interference randomization ensures
that, as far as possible, the RBGs allocated in neighboring cells do not overlap, reducing inter-
cell interference for lightly loaded cells and increasing spectral efficiency. Downlink
interference randomization is enabled when CellAlgoSwitch.InterfRandSwitch is set to
ENB_BASED.
When this function is enabled, the starting position of RBGs to be allocated for cells is
determined using the following formula:
Starting position of RBGs to be allocated for a cell = PCI mod
CellDlschAlgo.EnbInterfRandMod
l If CellDlschAlgo.EnbInterfRandMod is set to MOD3(3), the eNodeB evenly divides
the frequency bandwidth into three parts, and then determines the starting positions of
RBGs to be allocated for cells based on the preceding formula, as shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 RBG allocation based on PCI modulo 3

the frequency bandwidth into four parts, and then determines the starting positions of

eRAN

the frequency bandwidth into six parts, and then determines the starting positions of
3.2.2 Interference Randomization Based on Downlink Intra-

Frequency Inter-RAT Interference
When a cell suffers unevenly distributed intra-frequency inter-RAT interference in the
downlink, this function ensures that the RBGs are optimally allocated in this cell. This is to
protect against overlap with the RBGs on the frequency band experiencing intra-frequency
inter-RAT interference, reducing the impact of such interference on network performance.
This function is dependent on downlink interference randomization and is configured through
the CellDlschAlgo.InterfRandPciOffset parameter. When this function is enabled, the
starting position of RBGs to be allocated for a cell is determined using the following formula:
Starting position of RBGs to be allocated for a cell = (PCI +
CellDlschAlgo.InterfRandPciOffset) mod CellDlschAlgo.EnbInterfRandMod
l When no intra-frequency inter-RAT interference exists in the downlink or the intra-
frequency inter-RAT interference is evenly distributed over the entire bandwidth
spectrum, it is recommended that the CellDlschAlgo.InterfRandPciOffset parameter be
set to 0. Under these circumstances, only the downlink interference randomization takes
effect.
l When the intra-frequency inter-RAT interference is unevenly distributed in the downlink,
the configured value of the CellDlschAlgo.InterfRandPciOffset parameter is determined
by the PCI and band location of intra-frequency inter-RAT interference in a frequency
band.
Assume that CellDlschAlgo.EnbInterfRandMod is set to MOD6(6), intra-frequency
inter-RAT interference exists on the lowest frequency band, and PCI modulo 6 is 0. The
smaller the value of the CellDlschAlgo.InterfRandPciOffset parameter (excluding the
default value 0), the larger the number of RBGs to be allocated (without suffering intra-
frequency inter-RAT interference), and the better the network performance. Figure 3-4
shows the working principles of interference randomization based on downlink intra-
frequency inter-RAT interference.

3.2.3 Paging Message Interference Randomization

With the function of paging message interference randomization, an eNodeB allocates RBGs
in different positions to paging messages in the cells it serves to reduce interference between
the paging messages. This function improves paging message demodulation performance and
increases the paging success rate. The PagingInterfRandSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.DlSchSwitch parameter specifies whether to enable this function. After this
function is enabled by selecting the option, the frequency bandwidth is evenly divided into
three parts, and the starting position of RBGs for paging messages equals PCI modulo 3, as
shown in Figure 3-5.
Figure 3-5 Starting positions of RBGs for paging messages
3.2.4 Uplink Interference Randomization

When frequency selective scheduling is not applicable, the uplink-interference-
randomization-based scheduling can be used, which enables the eNodeB to allocate RBs to
UEs from different starting positions in different cells. In this way, inter-cell interference is
reduced to some extent. The uplink-interference-randomization-based scheduling can be
enabled by setting CellUlschAlgo.UlRbAllocationStrategy to
FS_INRANDOM_ADAPTIVE.

eRAN
When this function is enabled:

l CellUlschAlgo.UlInterfRandomMode is set to TWO_MODE_BASED_ON_PCI.
The eNodeB allocates RBs sequentially from the low end of the system band to
UEs in cells with odd-numbered PCIs.
The eNodeB allocates RBs sequentially from the high end of the system band to
UEs in cells with even-numbered PCIs.
l CellUlschAlgo.UlInterfRandomMode is set to THREE_MODE_BASED_ON_PCI.
The eNodeB allocates RBs sequentially from the high end to the low end of the
system band to UEs in cells whose PCI modulo 3 is 0.
The eNodeB allocates RBs sequentially from the low end to the high end of the
The eNodeB allocates RBs sequentially from the middle to the high end of the
Interference randomization helps reduce inter-cell co-channel interference for medium and
lightly loaded networks. In heavily loaded cells, interference randomization cannot take much
effect because the eNodeB cannot randomize the RBs to be allocated to UEs considering that
most or all RBs have been allocated. However, the effect brought by interference
randomization is still better than that brought by non-frequency-selective scheduling in
heavily loaded cells. For details about frequency selective scheduling and non-frequency-
selective scheduling, see Scheduling Feature Parameter Description.

LOFD-1 e among UEs based on related principles. UEs forming
20205 Scheduli a pair transmit data using the same time-frequency
LBFD-0 ng resources, which improves the system throughput and
60102 spectral efficiency. This option applies only to LTE
UL FDD and LTE TDD.
TDLEO 2x64
FD-121 MU- TtiBundlingSwitch: Indicates whether to enable
608 MIMO transmission time interval (TTI) bundling. If TTI

eRAN

nd
TDLEO UL bundling is enabled, more transmission opportunities

FD-121 4x64 are available to UEs within the delay budget for
609 MU- VoLTE services on the Uu interface, thereby
TDLEO MIMO improving uplink coverage. This option applies only
FD-121 UL to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
610 8x64 ImIcSwitch: Indicates whether to enable the
MU- intermodulation (IM) interference cancellation for
MIMO UEs. When data is transmitted in both the uplink and
downlink, uplink signals generate two IM components
symmetrically beside the Direct Current (DC)
subcarrier on the downlink receive channel due to the
nonlinearity of the UE receive channel. If this option
is selected, IM component elimination is performed
for UEs. If this option is deselected, IM component
elimination is not performed for UEs. This option
applies only to LTE FDD cells working on frequency
band 20. This option applies only to LTE FDD.
SmartPreAllocationSwitch: Indicates whether to
enable uplink smart preallocation when the
PreAllocationSwitch option is selected. If both the
PreAllocationSwitch and this option are selected and
the SmartPreAllocationDuration parameter in the
CellPreallocGroup MO is set to a value greater than 0,
uplink smart preallocation is enabled. Otherwise,
uplink smart preallocation is disabled. This option
PuschDtxSwitch: Indicates whether the eNodeB uses
the PUSCH discontinuous transmission (DTX)
detection result during uplink scheduling. If this
option is selected for an LTE FDD cell, the eNodeB
determines whether to perform adaptive
retransmission, and also adjusts the CCE aggregation
level of the PDCCH carrying downlink control
information (DCI) format 0 based on the PUSCH
DTX detection result during uplink scheduling. If an
LTE FDD cell is established on an LBBPc, this option
takes effect only if the cell uses less than four RX
antennas and normal cyclic prefix (CP) in the uplink
and the SrsCfgInd parameter in the SRSCfg MO is set
to BOOLEAN_TRUE(True). Note that the LBBPc
does not support PUSCH DTX detection for VMIMO
UEs. For an LTE TDD cell, this option takes effect
only when the uplink-downlink subframe
configuration is set to SA2 or SA5. If this option takes
effect, the eNodeB adjusts the CCE aggregation level
based on the PUSCH DTX detection results. Note that
LTE TDD cells established on LBBPc boards do not

eRAN

nd
support PUSCH DTX detection. This option applies

only to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
UlIblerAdjustSwitch: Indicates whether to enable the

uplink IBLER adjustment algorithm. If this option is
selected, the target IBLER is adjusted for UEs based

and LTE TDD. If this option is selected independently
for FDD cells with the UlTargetIBlerAdaptType
option deselected, the algorithm does not take effect.
UlEnhancedFssSwitch: Indicates whether to enable

uplink load-based enhanced frequency selective
scheduling. This option applies only to LTE FDD.
UlIicsAlgoSwitch: Indicates whether to enable the

uplink interference-intensity-based coordinated
scheduling (UL IICS) algorithm. If this option is
selected, interference can be reduced based on
accurate detection of user attributes and scheduling
resource coordination, increasing the cell edge
throughput. This option applies only to LTE TDD.
UlEnhancedSrSchSwitch: Indicates whether uplink re-

scheduling is performed only when the On Duration
timer for the DRX long cycle starts. Uplink re-
scheduling is required if the number of HARQ
retransmissions for a scheduling request (SR) reaches
the maximum value but the scheduling still fails. If
this option is selected, uplink re-scheduling is
performed only when the On Duration timer for the
DRX long cycle starts. If this option is deselected,
uplink re-scheduling is performed immediately when
the number of HARQ retransmissions for SR reaches
the maximum value but the scheduling still fails. It is
recommended that this option be selected for live
networks. This option applies only to LTE FDD and
LTE TDD.
SchedulerCtrlPowerSwitch: Indicates whether the

uplink scheduler performs scheduling without
considering power control restrictions. If this option is
selected, the uplink scheduler performs scheduling
without considering power control restrictions,
ensuring full utilization of the transmit power for all
UEs. If this option is deselected, the uplink scheduler
considers power control restrictions while performing
scheduling. In this case, the transmit power cannot be
fully used for UEs at the cell edge or between the cell

eRAN

nd
edge and cell center. This option applies only to LTE

FDD and LTE TDD.
UlMinGbrSwitch: Indicates whether to ensure uplink

minimum guaranteed bit rate (GBR). If this option is
selected, the minimum GBR of non-GBR services is
ensured by increasing the scheduling priority of UEs
whose non-GBR service rates are lower than the
minimum GBR. This option applies only to LTE FDD
and LTE TDD.
UlMbrCtrlSwitch: Indicates whether to enable uplink

scheduling based on the maximum bit rate (MBR) and
guaranteed bit rate (GBR) on the GBR bearer. If this
option is selected, the eNodeB performs uplink
scheduling on GBR bearers based on the MBR and
GBR. If this option is deselected, the eNodeB
performs uplink scheduling on GBR bearers based
only on the GBR. This option applies only to LTE
FDD and LTE TDD.
MbrUlSchSwitch: Indicates whether the eNodeB

performs uplink scheduling based on the MBR. If this
option is selected, the eNodeB prioritizes UEs based
on the MBRs during uplink scheduling. This option
UeAmbrUlSchSwitch: Indicates whether the eNodeB

performs uplink scheduling based on the aggregate
maximum bit rate (AMBR) of UEs. If this option is
selected, the eNodeB prioritizes UEs based on the
AMBRs of UEs during uplink scheduling. This option
UlEnhancedDopplerSwitch: Indicates whether to

enable enhanced uplink scheduling based on mobility
speed estimation. If this option is selected, enhanced
uplink scheduling based on mobility speed estimation
is enabled. In enhanced uplink scheduling based on
mobility speed estimation, the eNodeB uses Doppler
measurement results to identify low-speed UEs to
further improve uplink performance of low-speed
UEs. If this option is deselected, enhanced uplink
scheduling based on mobility speed is disabled.
Enhanced uplink scheduling based on mobility speed
takes effect only when the DopMeasLevel parameter
is set to CLASS_1(CLASS_1) and the
UlEnhancedDopplerSwitch option is selected. This
option does not apply to cells established on LBBPc
boards. This option applies only to LTE FDD.

eRAN

nd
UlRaUserSchOptSw: Indicates whether the eNodeB

raises the scheduling priority of UEs sending uplink
access signaling, including MSG5 and the RRC
Connection Reconfiguration Complete message. If
this option is selected, the eNodeB raises the
scheduling priority of UEs sending uplink access
signaling. If this option is deselected, the eNodeB
does not raise the scheduling priority of UEs sending
uplink access signaling. In NB-IoT scenarios with air
interface resource congestion, this option restricts the
number of preambles to perform flow control on UEs
accessing the cell.
UlLast2RetransSchOptSwitch: Indicates whether to
optimize the scheduling policy for the last two
retransmissions. If this option is selected, the
scheduling policy is optimized for the last two
retransmissions. If the UE transmit power is not
limited, adaptive retransmission is used, and the
number of RBs increases in the last two
retransmissions to increase the receive success rate of
the last two retransmissions and decrease uplink
RBLER. If this option is deselected, the scheduling
policy is not optimized for the last two
retransmissions. This option applies only to LTE FDD
and LTE TDD.
UlInterfFssSwitch: Indicates whether to enable
interference-based uplink frequency-selective
scheduling. This option applies only to LTE FDD.
UlSmallRBSpectralEffOptSw: Indicates whether to
improve the spectral efficiency of small RBs in the
uplink. If this option is selected, the spectral efficiency
of small RBs in the uplink is optimized, ensuring that
the transmission block size calculated based on
optimized spectral efficiency is not less than the traffic
volume to be scheduled. If this option is deselected,
the spectral efficiency of small RBs in the uplink is
not optimized. This option applies only to LTE FDD
and LTE TDD.
PuschUsePucchRbSwitch: Indicates whether PUCCH
RBs can be occupied by the PUSCH. In scenarios
with a single user: If this option is selected, PUCCH
RBs can be occupied by the PUSCH; if this option is
deselected, PUCCH RBs cannot be occupied by the
PUSCH. In scenarios with multiple users, PUCCH
RBs cannot be occupied by the PUSCH regardless of
the setting of this option. This option applies only to
LTE FDD and LTE TDD.

eRAN

nd
PuschDtxSchOptSwitch: If this option is selected, the

eNodeB determines whether to perform adaptive
retransmission based on the PUSCH DTX detection
result during uplink scheduling. This option takes
effect only when the uplink-downlink subframe
configuration SA2 or SA5 is used. If an LTE TDD cell
is established on an LBBPc, PUSCH DTX detection is
not supported. This option applies only to LTE TDD.
PrachRbReuseSwitch: If this option is selected, the
PUSCH and PRACH transmissions can use the same
resource. If this option is deselected, the PUSCH and
PRACH transmissions cannot use the same resource.
