Uplink Frequency Selective Scheduling

How do we understand telecoms
• In the uplink, the UE periodically sends SRSs. After multiple periods, the eNodeB can acquire the SRS
measurement values of all bandwidths and learn strategy?
the signal quality of different sub-bands. In a
scheduling procedure, the eNodeB selects the RB with good channel quality to transmit uplink
services and obtain frequency gains.

Downlink Frequency Selective Scheduling

• Downlink frequency selection scheduling is based on the sub-band CQI reported by the UE. The
principle is described as follows: When downlink frequency selection scheduling is enabled, the UE
Q&A
can select a sub-band to report CQIs or the upper-layer can configure a sub-band to report CQIs. The
sub-band CQIs reported by the UE are different in the entire system bandwidth and different CQIs
represents different channel quality. Therefore, by maintaining the UE-level sub-band CQI queue, the
eNodeB traverses the CQI queue and allocate the RB location with good channel quality to the UE
first.

Parameter Modification

To increase user experience and attaining frequency gain, following Frequency selection tuning has been
suggested.

· The Switch of SRS Configuration : Close (0) ->Open(1)

· Downlink Frequency Selection : Random Allocation(2) -> Frequency Selective(1)
· Uplink Frequency Selection : Random Allocation(6) -> Frequency Selective(1)

How do we understand telecoms

strategy?
FSS (Frequency Selective Scheduling) trial of Sialkot City (26 EnodeB) has been successfully implemented
with overall ~6% improvement in user perception achieved.

Please find below required Benchmark

• Major Improvement observed 64 QAM usage which is ~10%
• UL SINR also improved up to ~3%
• Tabular summary and KPIs trend also mentioned below for reference
