Parameter Descriptions
ECGI: global identifier of an E-UTRAN cell.
MCC: country code of a mobile subscriber.
MNC: code of the network that the mobile subscriber uses.
Cell Identity: consists of 28-bit information, where the former 20
bits indicate the eNodeB ID, and the latter 8 bits indicate the cell
ID.

1. Standard-sized network
eNodeB ID format in a standard-sized network: ABCDEF
The first two digits (namely AB) indicate the city where the eNodeB is
located.
The last digit (namely F) indicates whether it is an indoor or outdoor
eNodeB. If F is set to 0, it indicates an indoor eNodeB. Otherwise, it
indicates an outdoor eNodeB.
2. Large-sized network
In most cases, the eNodeB ID format is ABCDEF.
The first two digits (namely AB) indicate the city where the eNodeB is located.
Different AB combinations indicate different cities and a maximum of 99
cities can be represented. Each city can accommodate a maximum of 9999
eNodeBs.
Sometimes, the network may cover more than 99 cities. In this case, a AB
combination can be used to indicate two or more cities, and a maximum of
9999 eNodeBs in total can be accommodated. For example, if three cities use
the same AB combination, each city can accommodate an average of 9999/3
= 3333 eNodeBs.
The last digit (namely F) indicates whether it is an indoor or outdoor eNodeB.
If F is set to 0, it indicates an indoor eNodeB. Otherwise, it indicates an
outdoor eNodeB. In some special cases, the value 9 for F indicates a remote
eNodeB.
3. Shared network
For a shared network, such as the TDD-FDD network of Hi3G, 6-digit
eNodeB IDs (format: ABCDEF) can be used.
The first digit (namely A) indicates the network system. The value 1
indicates a TDD network, and 5 indicates an FDD network.
The second digit (namely B) indicates the city where the eNodeB is
located.
The third digit (namely C) may indicate the administrative region where
the eNodeB is located.
The last digit (namely F) indicates whether it is an indoor or outdoor
eNodeB. If F is set to 0, it indicates an indoor eNodeB. Otherwise, it
indicates an outdoor eNodeB.
Configuration Principles
This parameter is dependent on the frequency bandwidth acquired by a
mobile operator. The downlink system bandwidth can either be identical to
or different from the Uplink (UL) system bandwidth.
Downlink resource allocation can be affected if this parameter is modified.
UL System Bandwidth
Parameter Description
This parameter indicates the system bandwidth over the UL.
This parameter is used to determine the frequency domain location of a UL
physical channel as well as UL frequency allocation.
Configuration Principles
This parameter is dependent on the frequency bandwidth acquired by a
mobile operator. The system uplink bandwidth can either be identical to or
different from the DL system bandwidth.
Uplink resource allocation can be affected if this parameter is modified.
Configuration Principles
Using the default value is recommended in the following environment:
Configuration Principles
For the environment information about the use of the default value, see page
13 (Cell Ma Transmit Power).
This parameter is dependent on the cell radius and the planned DL
throughput at the cell edge. The greater the cell radius or the planned DL
throughput at the cell edge, the greater the value of this parameter is
required.
Configuration Principles
This parameter is dependent on cell coverage. The greater the cell coverage, the
greater the value of this parameter is required. This parameter should be used for
ensuring cell coverage while achieving the highest power.
A reference signal power value should be properly tuned in accordance with the
required power of the DL control channel at the cell edge based on link estimation
calculated by using such radio parameters as cell type , cell radius, and antenna
height.
Configuration Principles
When the UE is in idle state but the DRX is being used, the UE needs to
monitor a P-RNTI in a PO every DRX cycle.
If this parameter is modified, other UEs being in idle state can be affected.
nB
Parameter description
This parameter is used to derive the paging frame and PO, as defined in
TS36.304.
Configuration Principles
T represents a paging cycle. For example 2T indicates two default paging
cycles.
This parameter indicates the paging attempts made by a radio frame. Its
maximum value is 4T.
Configuration Principles
If the value of this parameter is set too large, system messages will be updated
less frequently, not in real time.
If the value of this parameter is set too small, system messages will be updated
very frequently and the UE will monitor systemInfoValueTag more frequently.
Each paging message travels with a Paging Record List. This list contains the records
of all UEs that have been paged related to this message. Each record contains a P-RNTI,
which is a UE identifier for paging purposes. ENodeBs page UEs through either IMSIs
or S-TMSIs.

1. To send data to an idle UE, the network will start paging this UE.
2. To restore itself due to an error (for example, unusable S-TMSI), the network will start IMSI
paging.
A PCH uses QPSK modulation. A paging message is transferred on a PDSCH.
Theoretically, each paging message includes at most 16 UE records, meaning that a
maximum of 16 UEs can be paged simultaneously.
Principles
1. Determine the size of a TA based on UE paging capabilities and the network.
2. Avoid frequent IRAT cell re-selection and LAU/TAU.
3. Take geographical features into account.
a) Do not place the boundary of a TA in a heavy-traffic area (for example, a downtown
area or central business zone). Place the boundary in a low-traffic area (for example,
a suburban area or factory).
b) The TA boundary must not be orthogonal or diagonal to the road. Moreover, keep
the overlapped part between TAs away from an area where UEs move in high speed.
c) Do not place different TA boundaries in the same small area. Otherwise, UEs may
frequently update the TA information or perform handoffs between these TAs.
4. Take the traffic increase tendency into account so as to provide TAs with
proper TA paging capacity, traffic capacity and expandability information.
In an LTE system, there are 504 Physical A UE detects the PSCH to obtain the 5 ms
clock and the cell IDs in a cell ID group.
Cell IDs (PCIs), ranging from 0 to 503.
These IDs are divided into 168 groups,
each of which contains three IDs. UEs
try to identify ID group numbers by The UE detects the SSCH to obtain the RAN

Principles
1) Assume that there are three cells: cell A, cell B and cell C. Cell A and cell B make up a
group of neighboring cells, and cell B and cell C make up another group of neighboring
cells. In this case, cell A and cell C must use different PCIs.
2) When PCIs are assigned to different cells controlled by the same eNodeB, the values of
PCI mod 3 must be different. This principle also apply when PCIs are assigned to a
cell and its nearest neighboring cell.
3) Cells sharing the same PCI should be as far from each other as possible.
Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) is mainly used in the random access
procedure.
Random access for a UE in an LTE network is used to:
Establish UL synchronization for example during initial access or handoffs.
Assign a unique C-RNTI for the UE during initial network access establishment, for example,

Frequency Frequency Frequency
Usually, the entire LTE network adopts the same frequency band,
for example, 20 MHz. To avoid ICIC, you need to assign different
bands to different cells. Ensure that two cells that greatly overlap
use different frequency resources.
Currently, frequency allocation falls into four modes:
Based on Same-Frequency
Based on SFR (Non Exclusive IC)
Based on SFR (Exclusive IC)
Based on Differ-Frequency
Parameter Description
Frequency Band Name: different from the name of any existing frequency band.
E-UTRA Band Indicator: indicator of an E-UTRA band.
Center Frequency (MHz): center frequency.
Band Width (MHz): bandwidth.
Duplex Mode: duplex mode.
Num of RB: varies with the selected bandwidth.
Based on Same-Frequency: intra-frequency networking.
Based on SFR (Non Exclusive IC): network architecture based on SFR (Non Exclusive IC),
meaning mode 3.
Based on SFR (Exclusive IC): network architecture based on SFR (Exclusive IC), meaning mode 4.
Based on Differ-Frequency: inter-frequency network architecture.
Static SFR
As shown in the left figure, the whole frequency band is divided into three equal parts,
and f1, f2 and f3 indicate the outer region of the three sectors respectively.
SFR FFR
Static FFR
As shown in the right figure, the whole frequency band is divided into four parts. It is
similar to the case that the f1 in SFR mode is divided into three equal parts, each of
which serves as the outer region of the three sectors respectively. In this way, cell edge
users(CEUs) are separated from cell center users (CCUs), reducing the serving cell CCU
interference caused by the neighboring cell sidelobe users.
