UE Measurements (1/4)
• In cellular networks, when a mobile moves from cell to cell and performs cell
selection/reselection and handover, it has to measure the signal strength/quality of
the neighbor cells.
• In UMTS, a UE measures Carrier RSSI, CPICH RSCP, and CPICH Ec/No on preamble.
• In LTE network, a UE measures two parameters on reference signal: RSRP (Reference
Signal Received Power) and RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality).
UE Measurements (2/4)
Definition Reference signal received power (RSRP), is defined as the linear average over
the power contributions (in [W]) of the resource elements that carry cell-
specific reference signals within the considered measurement frequency
bandwidth.
For RSRP determination the cell-specific reference signals R0 according TS
36.211 [3] shall be used. If the UE can reliably detect that R1 is available it may
use R1 in addition to R0 to determine RSRP.
The reference point for the RSRP shall be the antenna connector of the UE.
If receiver diversity is in use by the UE, the reported value shall not be lower
than the corresponding RSRP of any of the individual diversity branches.
diversity branches.
Applicable for RRC_IDLE intra-frequency,
RRC_IDLE inter-frequency,
RRC_CONNECTED intra-frequency,
RRC_CONNECTED inter-frequency
3GPP TS 36.214 V9.2.0
UE Measurements (3/4)
Definition Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) is defined as the ratio N×RSRP/(E-
UTRA carrier RSSI), where N is the number of RB’s of the E-UTRA carrier RSSI
measurement bandwidth. The measurements in the numerator and
denominator shall be made over the same set of resource blocks.
E-UTRA Carrier Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), comprises the linear
average of the total received power (in [W]) observed only in OFDM symbols
containing reference symbols for antenna port 0, in the measurement
bandwidth, over N number of resource blocks by the UE from all sources,
including co-channel serving and non-serving cells, adjacent channel
interference, thermal noise etc.
The reference point for the RSRQ shall be the antenna connector of the UE.
If receiver diversity is in use by the UE, the reported value shall not be lower
than the corresponding RSRQ of any of the individual diversity branches.
Applicable for RRC_IDLE intra-frequency,
RRC_IDLE inter-frequency,
RRC_CONNECTED intra-frequency,
RRC_CONNECTED inter-frequency
UE Measurements (4/4)
• For example, assume that only reference signals are transmitted in a
resource block, and that data and noise and interference are not considered.
In this case RSRQ is equal to (1/2) or -3 dB. If reference signals and
subcarriers carrying data are equally powered, the ratio corresponds to
(1/12) or -10.79 dB.
• RSRQ is not suitable for LTE measurement. We use RSRP and Ês/Iot measurement defined in TS
36.133 to determine the intra frequency cell delectability.
• An intra frequency cell is considered to be detectable if: RSRP|dBm > -124 dBm for Bands 1, 4, 6,
10, 11, 18, 19, 21, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 and RSRP Ês/Iot -4 dB,…).
Ês: Received energy per RE (power normalized to the subcarrier spacing) during the useful part of the symbol,
i.e. excluding the cyclic prefix, at the UE antenna connector.
Iot: The received power spectral density of the total noise and interference for a certain RE
(power integrated over the RE and normalized to the subcarrier spacing)
as measured at the UE antenna connector.
CPICH RSCP: Received Signal Code Power, the received power on one code measured on the Primary CPICH.
UMTS FDD carrier RSSI: The received wide band power, including thermal noise and noise generated in the receiver,
within the bandwidth defined by the receiver pulse shaping filter.
CPICH_Ec/No: The received energy per chip divided by the power density in the band. If receiver diversity is not in use
by the UE,
the CPICH Ec/No is identical to CPICH RSCP/UTRA Carrier RSSI.

Appendix
LTE bit rate calculation
• From the 3gpp specification:
-1 Radio Frame = 10 Sub-frame
-1 Sub-frame = 2 Time-slots
-1 Time-slot = 0.5 ms (i.e 1 Sub-frame = 1 ms)
-1 Time-slot = 7 Modulation Symbols (when normal CP length is used)
-1 Modulation Symbols = 6 bits; if 64 QAM is used as modulation scheme
Radio resource is manage in LTE as resource grid....
-1 Resource Block (RB) = 12 Sub-carriers
Assume 20 MHz channel bandwidth (100 RBs), normal CP
Therefore, number of bits in a sub-frame
= 100RBs x 12 sub-carriers x 2 slots x 7 modulation symbols x 6 bits
= 100800 bits
Hence, data rate = 100800 bits / 1 ms = 100.8 Mbps
* If 4x4 MIMO is used, then the peak data rate would be 4 x 100.8 Mbps = 403 Mbps.
* If 3/4 coding is used to protect the data, we still get 0.75 x 403 Mbps = 302 Mbps as data rate.

OFDM offers distinct advantages compared to
the CDMA technology
When compared to the CDMA technology upon which UMTS is based,
OFDM offers a number of distinct advantages:
• OFDM can easily be scaled up to wide channels that are more resistant
to fading.
• OFDM channel equalizers are much simpler to implement than are
CDMA equalizers, as the OFDM signal is represented in the frequency
domain rather than the time domain.
• OFDM can be made completely resistant to multi-path delay spread. This
is possible because the long symbols used for OFDM can be separated
by a guard interval known as the cyclic prefix (CP). The CP is a copy of
the end of a symbol inserted at the beginning. By sampling the received
signal at the optimum time, the receiver can remove the time domain
interference between adjacent symbols caused by multi-path delay
spread in the radio channel.
• OFDM is better suited to MIMO. The frequency domain representation of
the signal enables easy precoding to match the signal to the frequency
and phase characteristics of the multi-path radio channel.
OFDM does have some disadvantages
• The subcarriers are closely spaced making OFDM sensitive to frequency
errors and phase noise. For the same reason, OFDM is also sensitive to
Doppler shift, which causes interference between the subcarriers (ICI).
• Pure OFDM also creates high peak-to-average signals, and that is why a
modification of the technology called SC-FDMA is used in the uplink. SC-
FDMA is discussed later.
• It is known that OFDM will be more difficult to operate than CDMA at the
edge of cells. CDMA uses scrambling codes to provide protection from
inter-cell interference at the cell edge whereas OFDM has no such feature.
Therefore, some form of frequency planning at the cell edges will be
required.
• LTE system information is one of the key aspects of the air interface. It consists of the Master Information Block
(MIB) and a number of System Information Blocks (SIBs). The MIB is broadcast on the Physical Broadcast Channel
(PBCH), while SIBs are sent on the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) through Radio Resource Control
(RRC) messages. SIB1 is carried by "SystemInformationBlockType 1" message. SIB2 and other SIBs are carried by
"SystemInformation (SI)" message. An SI message can contain one or several SIBs.
• 1. The MIB is the first thing a UE looks for after it achieves downlink synchronization. The MIB carries the most
essential information that is needed for the UE to acquire other information from the cell. It includes:
• The downlink channel bandwidth
• The PHICH configuration. The Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel carries the HARQ ACKs and NACKs for uplink
transmissions
• The SFN (System Frame Number) which helps with synchronization and acts as a timing reference
• The eNB transmit antenna configuration specifying the number of transmit antennas at eNB such as 1, 2, or 4,
which is carried by CRC mask for PBCH
• 2. SIB1 is carried in a SystemInformationBlockType1 message. It includes information related to UE cell access
and defines the schedules of other SIBs, such as:
• The PLMN Identities of the network
• The tracking area code (TAC) and cell ID
• The cell barring status, to indicate if a UE may camp on the cell or not
• q-RxLevMin, which indicates the minimum required Rx Level in the cell to fulfill the cell selection criteria
• The transmissions times and periodicities of other SIBs
LTE system information (1/3)
LTE system information (2/3)
• 3. SIB2 contains radio resource configuration information common for all UEs, including:
• The uplink carrier frequency and the uplink channel bandwidth (in terms of the number of
Resource Blocks, for example n25, n50)
• The Random Access Channel (RACH) configuration, which helps a UE start the random access
procedure, such as preamble information, transmit time in terms of frame and subframe number
(prach-ConfigInfo), and powerRampingParameters which indicates the initial Tx power and
ramping step.
• The paging configuration, such as the paging cycle
• The uplink power control configuration, such as P0-NominalPUSCH/PUCCH
• The Sounding Reference Signal configuration
• The Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) configuration to support the transmission of
ACK/NACK, scheduling requests, and CQI reports
• The Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) configuration, such as hopping
LTE system information (3/3)
• 4. SIB3 contains information common for intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and/or inter-RAT
cell reselection. This information does not necessarily apply to all scenarios; please refer to
3GPP TS 36.304 for the details. The basic parameters include:
• s-IntraSearch: the threshold for starting intra-frequency measurement. When s-ServingCell
(i.e., cell selection criterion for serving cell) is higher than s-IntraSearch, the UE may choose
not to perform measurement in order to save battery life.
• s-NonIntraSearch: the threshold for starting inter-frequency and IRAT measurements
• q-RxLevMin: the minimum required Rx level in the cell
• Cell reselection priority: the absolute frequency priority for E-UTRAN or UTRAN or GERAN or
CDMA2000 HRPD or CDMA2000 1xRTT
• q-Hyst: the hysteresis value used for calculating the cell-ranking criteria for the serving cell,
based on RSRP.
• t-ReselectionEUTRA: the cell reselection timer value for EUTRA. t-ReselectionEUTRA and q-
Hyst can be configured to trigger cell reselection sooner or later.
• 5. SIB4 contains the intra-frequency neighboring cell information for Intra-LTE intra-
frequency cell reselection, such as neighbor cell list, black cell list, and Physical Cell Identities
(PCIs) for Closed Subscriber Group (CSG). CSG can be used to support Home eNBs.
• 6. SIB5 contains the neighbor cell related information for Intra-LTE inter-frequency cell-
reselection, such as neighbor cell list, carrier frequency, cell reselection priority, threshold used
by the UE when reselecting a higher/lower priority frequency than the current serving
frequency, etc.
• (Note that 3GPP states that LTE neighbor cell search is feasible without providing an explicit
neighbor list. Since the UE can do blind detection of neighbor cells in LTE, the broadcast of LTE
neighbor cells is optional.)
‘RSRQ reporting range’ and ‘RSRQ relationship to Es/Iot’
• “R4-081419_RSRQ_reporting_rang” gives an idea on how to
calculate RSRQ and how to define RSRQ reporting range.
• “R4-103007_Relay RSRQ Reporting Range” gives a relationship
between RSRQ and Ês/Iot .
• After a simple manipulation from this contribution,
• RSRQ(dB) = 10*log10[Ês/(12*(Ês+Iot)]. The unit is in dB.
– (where RSRQ =[(N*RSRP)/RSSI], RSSI=12*N*(Ês+Iot) and RSRP=Ês. The unit is in Watts.)

  • 20. UE Measurements (1/4) • In cellular networks, when a mobile moves from cell to cell and performs cell selection/reselection and handover, it has to measure the signal strength/quality of the neighbor cells. • In UMTS, a UE measures Carrier RSSI, CPICH RSCP, and CPICH Ec/No on preamble. • In LTE network, a UE measures two parameters on reference signal: RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) and RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality).
  • 21. UE Measurements (2/4) Definition Reference signal received power (RSRP), is defined as the linear average over the power contributions (in [W]) of the resource elements that carry cell- specific reference signals within the considered measurement frequency bandwidth. For RSRP determination the cell-specific reference signals R0 according TS 36.211 [3] shall be used. If the UE can reliably detect that R1 is available it may use R1 in addition to R0 to determine RSRP. The reference point for the RSRP shall be the antenna connector of the UE. If receiver diversity is in use by the UE, the reported value shall not be lower than the corresponding RSRP of any of the individual diversity branches. diversity branches. Applicable for RRC_IDLE intra-frequency, RRC_IDLE inter-frequency, RRC_CONNECTED intra-frequency, RRC_CONNECTED inter-frequency 3GPP TS 36.214 V9.2.0
  • 22. UE Measurements (3/4) Definition Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) is defined as the ratio N×RSRP/(E- UTRA carrier RSSI), where N is the number of RB’s of the E-UTRA carrier RSSI measurement bandwidth. The measurements in the numerator and denominator shall be made over the same set of resource blocks. E-UTRA Carrier Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), comprises the linear average of the total received power (in [W]) observed only in OFDM symbols containing reference symbols for antenna port 0, in the measurement bandwidth, over N number of resource blocks by the UE from all sources, including co-channel serving and non-serving cells, adjacent channel interference, thermal noise etc. The reference point for the RSRQ shall be the antenna connector of the UE. If receiver diversity is in use by the UE, the reported value shall not be lower than the corresponding RSRQ of any of the individual diversity branches. Applicable for RRC_IDLE intra-frequency, RRC_IDLE inter-frequency, RRC_CONNECTED intra-frequency, RRC_CONNECTED inter-frequency
  • 23. UE Measurements (4/4) • For example, assume that only reference signals are transmitted in a resource block, and that data and noise and interference are not considered. In this case RSRQ is equal to (1/2) or -3 dB. If reference signals and subcarriers carrying data are equally powered, the ratio corresponds to (1/12) or -10.79 dB. • RSRQ is not suitable for LTE measurement. We use RSRP and Ês/Iot measurement defined in TS 36.133 to determine the intra frequency cell delectability. • An intra frequency cell is considered to be detectable if: RSRP|dBm > -124 dBm for Bands 1, 4, 6, 10, 11, 18, 19, 21, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 and RSRP Ês/Iot -4 dB,…). Ês: Received energy per RE (power normalized to the subcarrier spacing) during the useful part of the symbol, i.e. excluding the cyclic prefix, at the UE antenna connector. Iot: The received power spectral density of the total noise and interference for a certain RE (power integrated over the RE and normalized to the subcarrier spacing) as measured at the UE antenna connector. CPICH RSCP: Received Signal Code Power, the received power on one code measured on the Primary CPICH. UMTS FDD carrier RSSI: The received wide band power, including thermal noise and noise generated in the receiver, within the bandwidth defined by the receiver pulse shaping filter. CPICH_Ec/No: The received energy per chip divided by the power density in the band. If receiver diversity is not in use by the UE, the CPICH Ec/No is identical to CPICH RSCP/UTRA Carrier RSSI.

LTE bit rate calculation • From the 3gpp specification: -1 Radio Frame = 10 Sub-frame -1 Sub-frame = 2 Time-slots -1 Time-slot = 0.5 ms (i.e 1 Sub-frame = 1 ms) -1 Time-slot = 7 Modulation Symbols (when normal CP length is used) -1 Modulation Symbols = 6 bits; if 64 QAM is used as modulation scheme Radio resource is manage in LTE as resource grid.... -1 Resource Block (RB) = 12 Sub-carriers Assume 20 MHz channel bandwidth (100 RBs), normal CP Therefore, number of bits in a sub-frame = 100RBs x 12 sub-carriers x 2 slots x 7 modulation symbols x 6 bits = 100800 bits Hence, data rate = 100800 bits / 1 ms = 100.8 Mbps * If 4x4 MIMO is used, then the peak data rate would be 4 x 100.8 Mbps = 403 Mbps. * If 3/4 coding is used to protect the data, we still get 0.75 x 403 Mbps = 302 Mbps as data rate.

  • 31. OFDM offers distinct advantages compared to the CDMA technology When compared to the CDMA technology upon which UMTS is based, OFDM offers a number of distinct advantages: • OFDM can easily be scaled up to wide channels that are more resistant to fading. • OFDM channel equalizers are much simpler to implement than are CDMA equalizers, as the OFDM signal is represented in the frequency domain rather than the time domain. • OFDM can be made completely resistant to multi-path delay spread. This is possible because the long symbols used for OFDM can be separated by a guard interval known as the cyclic prefix (CP). The CP is a copy of the end of a symbol inserted at the beginning. By sampling the received signal at the optimum time, the receiver can remove the time domain interference between adjacent symbols caused by multi-path delay spread in the radio channel. • OFDM is better suited to MIMO. The frequency domain representation of the signal enables easy precoding to match the signal to the frequency and phase characteristics of the multi-path radio channel.
  • 32. OFDM does have some disadvantages • The subcarriers are closely spaced making OFDM sensitive to frequency errors and phase noise. For the same reason, OFDM is also sensitive to Doppler shift, which causes interference between the subcarriers (ICI). • Pure OFDM also creates high peak-to-average signals, and that is why a modification of the technology called SC-FDMA is used in the uplink. SC- FDMA is discussed later. • It is known that OFDM will be more difficult to operate than CDMA at the edge of cells. CDMA uses scrambling codes to provide protection from inter-cell interference at the cell edge whereas OFDM has no such feature. Therefore, some form of frequency planning at the cell edges will be required.
  • 33. • LTE system information is one of the key aspects of the air interface. It consists of the Master Information Block (MIB) and a number of System Information Blocks (SIBs). The MIB is broadcast on the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH), while SIBs are sent on the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) through Radio Resource Control (RRC) messages. SIB1 is carried by "SystemInformationBlockType 1" message. SIB2 and other SIBs are carried by "SystemInformation (SI)" message. An SI message can contain one or several SIBs. • 1. The MIB is the first thing a UE looks for after it achieves downlink synchronization. The MIB carries the most essential information that is needed for the UE to acquire other information from the cell. It includes: • The downlink channel bandwidth • The PHICH configuration. The Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel carries the HARQ ACKs and NACKs for uplink transmissions • The SFN (System Frame Number) which helps with synchronization and acts as a timing reference • The eNB transmit antenna configuration specifying the number of transmit antennas at eNB such as 1, 2, or 4, which is carried by CRC mask for PBCH • 2. SIB1 is carried in a SystemInformationBlockType1 message. It includes information related to UE cell access and defines the schedules of other SIBs, such as: • The PLMN Identities of the network • The tracking area code (TAC) and cell ID • The cell barring status, to indicate if a UE may camp on the cell or not • q-RxLevMin, which indicates the minimum required Rx Level in the cell to fulfill the cell selection criteria • The transmissions times and periodicities of other SIBs LTE system information (1/3)
  • 34. LTE system information (2/3) • 3. SIB2 contains radio resource configuration information common for all UEs, including: • The uplink carrier frequency and the uplink channel bandwidth (in terms of the number of Resource Blocks, for example n25, n50) • The Random Access Channel (RACH) configuration, which helps a UE start the random access procedure, such as preamble information, transmit time in terms of frame and subframe number (prach-ConfigInfo), and powerRampingParameters which indicates the initial Tx power and ramping step. • The paging configuration, such as the paging cycle • The uplink power control configuration, such as P0-NominalPUSCH/PUCCH • The Sounding Reference Signal configuration • The Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) configuration to support the transmission of ACK/NACK, scheduling requests, and CQI reports • The Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) configuration, such as hopping
  • 35. LTE system information (3/3) • 4. SIB3 contains information common for intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and/or inter-RAT cell reselection. This information does not necessarily apply to all scenarios; please refer to 3GPP TS 36.304 for the details. The basic parameters include: • s-IntraSearch: the threshold for starting intra-frequency measurement. When s-ServingCell (i.e., cell selection criterion for serving cell) is higher than s-IntraSearch, the UE may choose not to perform measurement in order to save battery life. • s-NonIntraSearch: the threshold for starting inter-frequency and IRAT measurements • q-RxLevMin: the minimum required Rx level in the cell • Cell reselection priority: the absolute frequency priority for E-UTRAN or UTRAN or GERAN or CDMA2000 HRPD or CDMA2000 1xRTT • q-Hyst: the hysteresis value used for calculating the cell-ranking criteria for the serving cell, based on RSRP. • t-ReselectionEUTRA: the cell reselection timer value for EUTRA. t-ReselectionEUTRA and q- Hyst can be configured to trigger cell reselection sooner or later. • 5. SIB4 contains the intra-frequency neighboring cell information for Intra-LTE intra- frequency cell reselection, such as neighbor cell list, black cell list, and Physical Cell Identities (PCIs) for Closed Subscriber Group (CSG). CSG can be used to support Home eNBs. • 6. SIB5 contains the neighbor cell related information for Intra-LTE inter-frequency cell- reselection, such as neighbor cell list, carrier frequency, cell reselection priority, threshold used by the UE when reselecting a higher/lower priority frequency than the current serving frequency, etc. • (Note that 3GPP states that LTE neighbor cell search is feasible without providing an explicit neighbor list. Since the UE can do blind detection of neighbor cells in LTE, the broadcast of LTE neighbor cells is optional.)
  • 36. ‘RSRQ reporting range’ and ‘RSRQ relationship to Es/Iot’ • “R4-081419_RSRQ_reporting_rang” gives an idea on how to calculate RSRQ and how to define RSRQ reporting range. • “R4-103007_Relay RSRQ Reporting Range” gives a relationship between RSRQ and Ês/Iot . • After a simple manipulation from this contribution, • RSRQ(dB) = 10*log10[Ês/(12*(Ês+Iot)]. The unit is in dB. – (where RSRQ =[(N*RSRP)/RSSI], RSSI=12*N*(Ês+Iot) and RSRP=Ês. The unit is in Watts.)
