•MBSFN transmission
MBSFN transmission is a simulcast transmission technique achieved
by transmitting identical waveforms at the same time from all cells
within an MBSFN area. A UE regards an MBSFN transmission from
multiple cells as a single transmission, as shown in Left Picture. The
UE combines the MBSFN signals received from multiple cells as
multipath signals from a single cell, thereby mitigating inter-cell
interference and achieving combining gains.

Concept Definition
Cluster A set of multiple cells, in which scheduling and pilot information sharing are implemented. A cluster contains all candidate coordinating cells
for CoMP UEs.
CoMP UE UEs that meet the requirements for CoMP in event A3 measurement reports.
Non-CoMP UE UEs other than CoMP UEs in a cell, including coordinating UEs and normal UEs. For a non-CoMP UE, its data is processed by only one cell.
Coordinating UE Non-CoMP UEs that share time and frequency resources with CoMP UEs in coordinating cells if CBF is used.
Normal UE Normal UEs refer to non-CoMP UEs when JT is implemented.
Normal UEs refer to UEs other than CoMP UEs and coordinating UEs in a coordinating cell when CBF is implemented.
Serving cell A cell that keeps connected to CoMP UEs through the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). A CoMP UE can have only one serving cell at
a time.
Coordinating cell A set of cells in which CoMP UE channel information is measured and PDSCH data is transmitted directly or indirectly to CoMP UEs.
Coordinating cluster A set of cells that support JT or CBF for CoMP UEs, including the serving cell and coordinating cells.
Centralized control node The centralized control node is deployed on a UBBPd in a BBU and exchanges signaling and service data with the eNodeB. Inter-eNodeB DL
CoMP requires a centralized control node for each cluster.
Signaling data includes:
•User information: UE ID and cell ID, which are delivered by the serving cell to coordinating cells
•Scheduling information: priority-calculation parameters, CoMP UE information, pre-allocation information, and pairing information of CoMP
UEs. Priority-calculation parameters and CoMP UE information are collected and sent by cells to the centralized control node. Pre-allocation
information of CoMP UEs and power pattern indication are delivered from the centralized control node to each cell.
Concept Definition
JT (Joint Transmission) multiple cells can transmit the same data concurrently by using the same radio resources (frequency and time). Because the same data is sent,
the speed would not double, but reception performance would be improved.
CBF (Coordinated Beam allocates different spatial resources (beam patterns) to UEs at cell edge by using smart antenna technology.
Forming)
DCS (Dynamic The basic idea of DCS is pretty similar to ICIC in that it reduces inter-cell interference by allocating different frequency resources (RBs or sub-
Coordinated Scheduling) carriers) to cell-edge UEs. But from technical perspective, DCS is a more advanced technology that requires a much shorter operation period,
more complicated signal processing and more elaborate algorithm, compared to ICIC. In ICIC, cooperating cells share interference information
of each cell, but in DCS they can share channel information of each user.
eX2 self-management is a process that the eNodeB automatically configures and removes eX2 interfaces according to external or internal
factors. External factors include end-point configuration changes or the situation where an eNodeB initiates service coordination to other
eNodeBs. Internal factors include transmission link aging.
DL CoMP is a coordinated multi-point downlink transmission technology, which enables eNodeBs to use antennas in neighboring cells to
process and transmit PDSCH data of a specific UE by means of joint transmission (JT), coordinated beamforming (CBF), and dynamic
cell selection (DCS). This technology increases wanted signal power and mitigates inter-cell interference. eNodeB can adaptively adopt
an appropriate transmission mode based on the cell load and channel quality.
DL CoMP is classified based on the coordinated transmission scope and transmission bandwidth consumption, as described in
below Table. Intra-BBP DL CoMP reduces co-channel interference from an intra-eNodeB cell. Inter-eNodeB DL CoMP reduces co-
channel interference from an inter-eNodeB cell or both inter- and intra-eNodeB cells.

Channels are transmission routes for data, i.e. between Tx antenna and Rx antenna across air. If base stations know
UE's channel information beforehand, they can transmit precoded data so that UE can get better reception. For this
purpose, UEs measure their channels, and report the resulting Channel State Information (CSI) to their base stations.
Base stations give their UEs an instruction on how and which cell's CSI are to be measured by sending a CSI-RS (CSI
Reference Signal) configuration message. Upon this instruction, UEs measure CSI and report to their serving cells. In
general, CSI information includes Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), and Rank Indicator
(RI).
CQI: An indicator of channel quality. Displayed as a highest modulation and coding rate (MCR) value that satisfies the condition of 'channel block error rate
(BLER) < 0.1'. It is set as a value ranging 0 ~ 15 (4 bits). The better channel quality, the higher MCR is used. Subband CQIs indicate the quality for specific
frequency ranges (subrange) while wideband CQIs indicate that for the entire channel bandwidth.
PMI: Base stations deliver more than one data stream (layer) through Tx antenna. Precoding matrix shows how individual data streams (layers) are
mapped to antennas. To calculate precoding matrix, UEs obtain channel information by measuring the channel quality of each DL antenna. Because
providing feedback on all channel information results in significantly increased overheads, generally a code book is pre-configured at base stations and
UEs. Using this code book, UEs send the index of a corresponding precoding matrix only. Base stations, by referring the reported precoding matrix,
calculate its own precoding matrix, and use the optimal value from it.
RI: Indicates the number of data stream(s) being delivered in DL. For instance, with 2 X 2 MIMO, this value is 1 in case of transmit diversity MIMO where
two antennas at a base station are sending the same data stream, and it is 2 in case of spatial multiplexing MIMO where the antennas are sending different
data streams.

The coordinating cell has the following requirements for the number of antennas:
•JT requires that CoMP UEs support beamforming, and beamforming requires that
cells work in 4T4R or 8T8R mode. Therefore, the serving cell and coordinating cell of a
JT UE must have four or eight TX antennas.
•The coordinating UE of a CBF UE must be a single-stream or dual-stream
beamforming UE. The coordinating cell of a CBF UE must have four or eight TX
antennas.
•The serving cell and coordinating cell of a DCS UE must have two, four, or eight TX
antennas.

1. Select the IntraDlCompSwitch(IntraDlCompSwitch) check box under
the CellAlgoSwitch.DlCompSwitch parameter.
2. Set the CELLDLCOMPALGO.DlCompA3Offset parameter. It is recommended that this
parameter be set to -12.
2.Selection of a CoMP UE and its coordinating cellsIn intra-BBP DL CoMP, the eNodeB selects a CoMP UE
and its coordinating cell based on the event A3 measurement reports from UEs, reference signal received
power (RSRP) difference between the serving and neighboring cells, and RSRP in the neighboring cell. Then,
the eNodeB notifies the physical layer of the selected UE and cell.
3.Transmission by multiple cellsBased on the information about the CoMP UE, serving cell, and coordinating
cell, the physical layer processes and transmits PDSCH data of the CoMP UE on the antennas of the serving
cell and coordinating cell, by performing JT, CBF, and/or DCS.

Impact on Radio Network Performance If the IntraDlCompSwitch check box is selected, the throughput of edge UEs in intra-eNodeB cells increases but the average throughput of a cell may decrease.
If the InterDlCompDcsSwitch or InterDlCompCbfSwitch check box is selected, the throughput of edge UEs in inter-eNodeB cells in a cluster increases but the average throughput of a cell may
decrease.
If DL CoMP is disabled, the throughput of CEUs decreases due to co-channel interference.
In inter-eNodeB DL CoMP based on relaxed backhaul, BBUs are interconnected using the existing IP
RAN or PTN. Coordination data is transmitted between eNodeBs over the eX2 interface. The eX2
interface shares the transport network with the X2 interface. Therefore, inter-eNodeB DL CoMP based
on relaxed backhaul must consider eX2 transmission bandwidth and transmission delay from
coordinating cells to eNodeBs

c) The eNodeB determines whether CoMP UEs are JT UEs, CBF UEs, successfully and the power pattern P equal to 0 is selected as the
or DCS UEs. JT UEs must be beamforming UEs coordinating cell.
In JT mode, all cells in a coordinating cluster transmit PDSCH data to CEUs to obtain power gains and array gains. In JT
implementation, CoMP UEs must support beamforming.
•Cell 2 obtains the weight of UE 1 based on the SRS measurement results. Cell 1 and cell 2 use the same RB resources to simultaneously transmit the
weighted PDSCH data to UE 1.
•UE 1 receives the same PDSCH data from cell 1 and cell 2 simultaneously.
CBF coordinates the beam direction of UEs in intra-frequency neighboring cells so that UEs close to the cell center help CEUs in neighboring
cells to avoid beam interference. In this way, the spectral efficiency of CEUs is improved, and the average cell throughput is not obviously
affected. In CBF implementation, coordinating UEs must support beamforming.
• In normal beamforming mode, each cell independently processes PDSCH data and calculates the optimal weight based on its performance regardless of other cells.
Therefore, interference may be strong to UEs allocated the same time and frequency resources in different cells.
• In CBF mode, the eNodeB preferentially selects coordinating UEs with the transmission mode of TM7, TM8, or TM9 without PMI and calculates the channel
correlation between coordinating UEs and CoMP UEs. Then, UEs whose channel correlation meets requirement are paired and the weights of coordinating UEs are
adjusted to be orthogonal. Therefore, interference to CoMP UEs decreases.
In the case of RBs interfered with by intra-frequency neighboring cells, DCS does not schedule data of other UEs to achieve three purposes: (1)
decrease co-channel interference to CoMP UEs; (2) improve interference suppression performance of CEUs; (3) increase the spectral efficiency
of CEUs.
•Before deploying DL CoMP, ensure that the live network meets the following
requirements:DBS3900 is used to provide contiguous intra-frequency coverage.
•All the cells use the same frequency, uplink-downlink subframe configuration, and special
subframe configuration.

Increases the downlink throughput of cell edge users (CEUs) without decreasing the average cell
throughput.
When there is only one CoMP UE in the serving cell, the MCS order in the non-beneficial subframes of
CoMP UEs decreases. However, the expected downlink throughput gains for CEUs can still be achieved
Network Performance
• DL CoMP increases the handover success rate and reduces downlink throughput decreases during
handovers.After DL CoMP is enabled, MCS orders of CEUs increase, which improves the edge
coverage, increases the handover success rate of CEUs, and reduces the possibility that CEU
throughput decreases during handovers.
• DL CoMP has a negative impact on the scheduling fairness of CEUs.The scheduling priority of CEUs
decreases because the average CEU throughput increases.

SCell
A secondary serving cell (SCell) is a cell that works at a different frequency from the PCell. The eNodeB configures an SCell
for a CA UE through an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message. An SCell provides the CA UE with more radio resources.
The CA UE can have only downlink SCells or both downlink and uplink SCells.
CC
Component carriers (CCs) are the carriers that are aggregated for a CA UE.
PCC
The primary component carrier (PCC) is the carrier of the PCell.
SCC
A secondary component carrier (SCC) is the carrier of an SCell.
PCC Anchoring
During PCC anchoring, the eNodeB selects a high-priority cell as the PCell for the UE.
57
Event A3
Event A3 indicates that the signal quality of the PCell's neighboring cell becomes higher than that of the Pcell.
Event A4
Event A4 indicates that the signal quality of a neighboring cell becomes higher than a specific threshold.
Event A5
Event A5 indicates that the signal quality of the PCell becomes lower than a specific threshold and the signal quality of a neighboring cell
becomes higher than another threshold.
Event A6
Event A6 indicates that the signal quality of an SCell's intra-frequency neighboring cell becomes higher than that of the SCell. If the
eNodeB receives an event A6 report, it changes the SCell while keeping the PCell unchanged.
The entering condition for event A6 is as follows: Mn + Ocn - Hys > Ms + Ocs + Off. The following explains the variables involved:Mn is
the RSRP measurement result of a neighboring cell.
Ocn is the cell-specific offset for an intra-frequency neighboring cell. The offset is specified by
the EutranIntraFreqNCell.CellIndividualOffset parameter.
Hys is the hysteresis for event A6. The value of this variable is always 0.
Ms is the RSRP measurement result of the serving cell.
Ocs is the cell-specific offset for the serving cell. The offset is specified by the Cell.CellSpecificOffset parameter.
Off is the offset for event A6. The offset is specified by the CaMgtCfg.CarrAggrA6Offset parameter.
