Rollout date 3/5/2020

Parameters:

PdcchCapacityImproveSwitch

The initial value for closed-loop adjustment on PDCCH aggregation level decreases, the PDCCH capacity and CCE allocation success rate
increase, and therefore cell throughput also increases.

PdcchPowerEnhancedSwitch

The eNodeB selects a lower aggregation level and increases the transmit power to ensure the PDCCH demodulation performance, allow
the PDCCH to support more UEs, and increase the uplink and downlink throughput.

Control Channel IRC Feature

Rollout date 5/5/2020

Parameters:

PucchIrcSwitch + PucchIRCEnhance

Setting the PucchIRCEnhance parameter to ON and turning on PucchIrcSwitch improves the PUCCH detection performance. When
PucchIrcSwitch is on, setting the PucchIRCEnhance parameter to ON decreases the number of fault PUCCH detections, and therefore
decreasing uplink block error rate (BLER).

CQI Adjustment Feature

Rollout date 10/5/2020

Parameters:

AdaptiveStepVarySwitch

When this switch in ON, the CQI adjustment is performed at a large step in case of significant signal quality changes,
accelerating the IBLER convergence and therefore increasing the downlink throughput. If this option is deselected, the
CQI adjustment is performed at a fixed step, which has no impact on network performance.
