4G Strategy : Adaptive SFN to Improve Performance
Fact Finding:
SFN can be deployed in the first phase to reduce interference and
handover times , and improve the user experience. Adaptive SFN can
be deployed in the second phase to improve the network capacity
when the cell load is higher.
Analysis:
Different with SFN, ASFN will only use Joint Scheduling (receives signals from multi-RRU)
if the load of the RRU is light (for example, less than 30%)
High Isolation Users use Independent scheduling(receive signals only from the target RRU
with the different RBs).
Parameter Setting :
1 Deactivate cells 11 21 31
2 Remove sector equipment 11 from cell 11, 21 from cell 21
3 Turn off UlJointReceptionSwitch under Uplink Comp Switch in the CellAlgoSwitch
4 Change the Flag of Multi-RRU Cell parameter value of cell 11
5 Bind sector equipment 11 and 21 to cell 11
6 Changed the SRS configuration indicator.
7 Activate ASFN cells
