159512 bCEM paging capacity increase
• Feature embedded in the baseline (no activation flag)
• Paging records from 1 to 6 to support higher paging rate
• bCEM LA6 is equivalent to eCEM LA5 paging capacity
Metrics LA4 LA5 (eCEM)
/ LA6 (bCEM)
Max # of UEs per paging occasion 1 6
Paging occasion 1 per frame
UE Page record buffer size 200 500
Maximum paging rate 100 per second 600 per second
Feature tuning:
• numberRBNotForPaging: [0, 100]; maximum remaining PRBs which can be used for paging
• pagingForceMCSMin: [-1, 9]; specifies the MCS used for paging.
Value -1 to use MCS0
Feature monitoring:
• VS_S1PageAttemptsFromMMEs
• VS_S1PageAttemptsDiscarded

156132 overload control enhancement
Reminder of the overload mechanism
• Gradual overload
• Progressive service restriction: ratios of discarded messages tunable
• Based on CPU usage: thresholds and hysterisis tunable
• 4 levels: OK, minor, major and critical
• Panic overload
• Based on eNB internal messages queue
• Discard application message and SCTP message flow control
Enhancements:
• Introduction of new counters about unhandled RRC messages :
• 12304-10 RRC.ConnEstabFail.TooLateEnbResponse
12310-12 RRC.ConnReEstabFail.TooLateEnbResponse
• Activation flag:
Enb::spare12 bit 2
PerformanceManagement::spare1Reported
