Feature Details
Feature Name: CQI Adjustment Based on Dynamic BLER Target
Feature Code: WRFD-030010
Trial Period: 16 Dec 2013 20 Dec 2013

Idea Representative: Mr. Venkata Sivaprasad
Feature Description
The CQI measures the channel conditions of a UE and is reported from the UE to the NodeB. Without this feature,
the NodeB determines an appropriate TBS based on the reported CQI, system resources, and the TFRC policy. If
the reported CQI and related conditions remain the same, the NodeB does not change the TBS because it does
not consider the ever-changing radio environments.
The constant changes in radio environments, caused by multipath effects and UE mobility, lead to fluctuating
channel quality. Under these circumstances, choosing a TBS based on the reported CQI makes it difficult to
always achieve the optimum downlink throughput.
With the feature CQI adjustment based on dynamic BLER target, the NodeB monitors the channel quality
fluctuations for HSDPA users in a cell in real time and dynamically selects a proper BLER target based on the
monitoring result. The NodeB then uses the BLER target to adjust the CQI reported by the UE. Based on the
adjusted CQI, the NodeB determines an appropriate TBS to achieve higher downlink throughput for HSDPA users
and higher cell throughput.
CQI adjustment based on dynamic BLER target is performed in each TTI. The following describes the adjustment
process:
1. Based on the CQI reported by the UE, the NodeB checks the actual radio environment, which is
affected by multipath effects and UE mobility.
2. Based on the actual radio environment and channel quality of the UE, the NodeB obtains an optimum
BLER target, which helps to achieve the highest possible throughput for the UE.
3. Based on the ACK, NACK, or DTX indication from the UE in the current TTI and on the optimum BLER
target, the NodeB calculates the CQI offset, which can be a positive or negative number. The NodeB
then uses the CQI offset to adjust the CQI.
4. Based on the adjusted CQI, the NodeB selects an appropriate TBS by using the TFRC algorithm.
Objective
This test case aims to verify that CQI Adjustment Based on Dynamic BLER Target.
Test Network
Standard Network of Acceptance: (NE: RNC1, NodeB1, CELL_A11)
Post Verification on Test NodeB, to be implemented in one RNC to check KPI performance
8. From the above HSDPA throughput result it is observed that there is an increase in the average HSDPA
throughput when the feature is active.
