• pmPucchSrCqiResCongCqi
– The number of times a PUCCH allocation request
for CQI resource(s) could not be granted
• pmPucchSrCqiResCongSr
– The number of times a PUCCH allocation request
for SR resource(s) could not be granted
Pdcch resources
adaptive pdcch (1/2)
• PDCCH is used for
– UL/DL scheduling assignments, e.g. PUSCH/PDSCH resource indication,
transport format indication, HARQ info and PUCCH/PUSCH PC commands
• Number of OFDM symbols available for PDCCH in a sub-frame is CFI. Max
OFDM symbols, limited by pdcchCfiMode, is not exceeded
• Recommended setting:
– Bandwidth =< 10MHz : CFI_AUTO_MAXIMUM_3 (current setting), to handle peaks of
PDCCH load
– Bandwidth > 10MHz : CFI_AUTO_MAXIMUM_2, since higher number of symbols for
PDCCH can increase RB pairs for PUCCH, which leads to reduced UL peak rate
Pdcch resources
observability
• pmPdcchCceUtil
– PDF of % of CCEs utilized compared with total CCEs available (at the maximum CFI permitted by
pdcchCfiMode) each subframe, considering bandwidth and antenna configuration.
• pmPdcchCfiUtil
– PDF of number of subframes each CFI value was assigned

Prb utilization / cell throughput capacity
schedulingalgorithm
• Current setting schedulingAlgorithm = 3
(PROPORTIONAL_FAIR_MEDIUM),
propose to change to following at high
load
– 4 (PROPORTIONAL_FAIR_LOW) or
– 5 (MAXIMUM_C_OVER_I)
Higher Cell Throughput
Higher TTI utilization
Higher PRB utilization
System Fairness Cell Throughput For PFL or Max C/I, user at cell
edge may have low throughput, as
scheduler has higher weightage for
RF condition
• pmPrbUtilUl
– A distribution that shows the uplink Physical Resource Block (PRB) pair utilization (total
number of used PRB pairs by available PRB pairs) on the Physical Uplink Shared Channel
(PUSCH)
• pmPrbUtilDl
– A distribution that shows the downlink Physical Resource Block (PRB) pair utilization (total
number of used PRB pairs by available PRB pairs) on the Physical Downlink Shared
Channel (PDSCH)
• Number of UEs stay in RRC_Connected state will be larger, thus lowering the number of available
