PDCCH Power Enhanced Switch

MO: CellPdcchAlgo/Parameter ID: PdcchPowerEnhancedSwitch/Parameter Name: PDCCH Power Enhanced Switch

Meaning Indicates whether to enable enhanced PDCCH power control. If this

switch is turned on, the eNodeB selects appropriate PDCCH
transmit power based on channel quality to increase PDCCH
capacity. This parameter is valid only for FDD, not for TDD.

Impact on Radio If this switch is turned on, the eNodeB selects a lower aggregation
Network level and increases the transmit power to ensure the PDCCH
Performance demodulation performance, allow the PDCCH to support more
UEs, and increase the uplink and downlink throughput.

If this switch is turned off, the eNodeB selects a higher aggregation

level and the operator needs to configure the transmit power
manually. This results in the opposite effects.

PDCCH Capacity Improve Switch

MO CellPdcchAlgo
Parameter ID PdcchCapacityImproveSwitch
Parameter Name PDCCH Capacity Improve Switch
Impact on Radio For LTE FDD networks, if this parameter is set to ON(On), (1) the
Network initial value for closed-loop adjustment on PDCCH aggregation
Performance level decreases and PDCCH capacity increases, and therefore cell
throughput increases; (2) the CCE allocation success rate increases,
and therefore cell throughput increases. For LTE TDD network, if
this parameter is set to ON(On), the CCE allocation success rate
increases, and therefore cell throughput increases.

PDCCH Symbol Number Adjust Switch

MO CellPdcchAlgo
Parameter ID PdcchSymNumSwitch
Parameter Name PDCCH Symbol Number Adjust Switch
 Meaning Indicates whether to enable dynamic adjustment on the number of
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols
occupied by the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). If
this parameter is set to OFF(Off), the number of OFDM symbols
occupied by the PDCCH is fixed and cannot be dynamically
adjusted. If this parameter is set to ON(On), the number of OFDM
symbols occupied by the PDCCH is dynamically adjusted based on
the required number of PDCCH control channel elements (CCEs).
The OFDM symbol adjustment range can be determined by
referring to the MML reference of the InitPdcchSymNum
parameter. If this parameter is set to
ECFIADAPTIONON(Enhanced CFI Adaption On), the number of
OFDM symbols occupied by the PDCCH is dynamically adjusted
based on the cell downlink throughput, and the adjustment
performance is the best among the three methods. The OFDM
symbol adjustment range can be determined by referring to the
MML reference of the InitPdcchSymNum parameter.
Impact on Radio If this parameter is set to OFF, the number of OFDM symbols
Network occupied by the PDCCH is fixed and cannot be dynamically
Performance adjusted. If this parameter is set to ON, the number of OFDM
symbols occupied by the PDCCH is dynamically adjusted based on
the number of required CCEs, and therefore cell downlink
throughput increases. If this parameter is set to
ECFIADAPTIONON, the dynamic adjustment of the number of
OFDM symbols occupied by the PDCCH considers cell downlink
throughput, and therefore can reach higher throughput when
downlink frequency selective scheduling is enabled.
