DL CoMP Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
In 3GPP releases earlier than 3GPP Release 11, physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)
data of LTE cell edge users (CEUs) cannot be sent with the help of adjacent cells to improve
the performance of CEUs. This gain can be achieved by downlink coordinated multipoint
transmission (DL CoMP) based on TM10 introduced in 3GPP Release 11.
DL CoMP enables multiple cells to cooperate to perform downlink transmission. DL CoMP is
implemented based on TM10 introduced in 3GPP Release 11. Multiple cells cooperate based
on ideal backhaul (intra-BBU backhaul or backhaul based on multi-BBU interconnection
through USUs) to process and transmit PDSCH data by using antennas of neighboring cells.
USU refers to universal switching unit. Downlink transmission by multiple cells adopts two
modes, dynamic point selection (DPS) and joint transmission (JT), to improve hotspot cell
capacity or CEU performance. eNodeBs can adaptively select an appropriate transmission
mode based on the cell load and channel quality.
DPS
In DPS mode, the coordinating cell sends PDSCH data to the UE to increase the hotspot cell
capacity, CEU throughput, and average UE throughput.
Figure 2-1 illustrates the DPS mode, in which PDCCH data of the UE is sent by cell 1 (the
serving cell), and PDSCH data is sent by cell 1 to cell 2 (the coordinating cell) and then sent
by cell 2 to the UE.

eRAN
Figure 2-1 DPS
JT
In JT mode, both the serving cell and coordinating cell transmit PDSCH data to improve the
throughput of CEUs with a low signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR).
Figure 2-2 illustrates the JT mode, in which
l PDCCH data of the UE is sent by cell 1 (the serving cell), and PDSCH data is sent by
cell 1 to cell 2 (the coordinating cell). Cell 1 and cell 2 allocate the same RBs to send
PDSCH data to the UE.
l The UE receives the same PDSCH data from cell 1 and cell 2 simultaneously.
Figure 2-2 JT

eRAN
2.2 Benefits
DL CoMP improves the downlink throughput and user experience of CEUs.
l DPS increases the capacity of hotspot cells and improves the CEU throughput and
average UE throughput when the network load is heavy and imbalanced.
l JT improves the throughput of CEUs with a low SINR when the network load is light.
2.3 Related Concepts

Table 2-1 lists the concepts related to DL CoMP.
Table 2-1 Related concepts

Concept Definition
Coordinating cell A set of 10 neighboring cells that cause the strongest interference to
set of the serving the serving cell as measured by the eNodeB
cell
Serving sell A serving cell is the cell that UEs access.
DPS UE The eNodeB uses algorithms to determine whether a UE meets the

DPS threshold conditions. The UE that meets the DPS threshold
conditions is a DPS UE.
JT UE The eNodeB uses algorithms to determine whether a UE meets the JT

threshold conditions. The UE that meets the JT threshold conditions
is a JT UE.
Coordinating cell The eNodeB identifies the coordinating cells for a DPS or JT UE
of a DPS or JT UE based on the event A3 measurement report sent by the DPS or JT UE.
The coordinating cells of a UE belong to the coordinating cell set of
the serving cell of the UE.
eX2 interface When USU-based multi-BBU interconnection is used, the eX2

interface is responsible for service coordination between eNodeBs.
2.4 Architecture
DL CoMP is implemented through the cooperation of the U2000, USU, eNodeB, and UE.
Figure 2-3 to Figure 2-5 show the networking diagrams. If DL CoMP is performed among
BBUs, time synchronization is required across the entire network.

3 Technical Description
Figure 3-1 shows the DL CoMP process, including selection of a coordinating cell set,
selection of CoMP UEs and coordinating cells, and multi-cell coordinated transmission.
Figure 3-1 DL CoMP process

eRAN
3.1 Selection of a Coordinating Cell Set

The eNodeB selects a coordinating cell set as follows:
1. After DL CoMP is enabled, the eNodeB selects a coordinating cell set for the serving
cell based on the neighboring cell information reported by UEs.
The DL CoMP algorithm switch settings vary with networking scenarios.

2. The user sets the NCellDlRsrpMeasPara.DlRsrpAutoNCellMeasSwitch parameter to

ON(On) and the NCellDlRsrpMeasPara.NCellDlRsrpMeasA3Offset parameter to a
desired value.
3. By collecting information on neighboring cells that meet event A3 reporting conditions
within a certain period, the eNodeB selects 10 neighboring cells that cause the highest
interference to the serving cell as the coordinating cell set for DL CoMP. If micro cells
exist, the eNodeB preferentially selects micro cells (6 at most), and then selects macro
cells to form a coordinating cell set.
3.2 Selection of CoMP UEs and Coordinating Cells

After selecting the DPS or JT serving cell, the eNodeB selects coordinating cells and CoMP
UEs based on the preset load thresholds.
3.2.1 Entering the DPS Mode

The process for a UE to enter the DPS mode is as follows:
1. DPS serving cell selection is triggered.

eRAN
Figure 3-2 Triggering of DPS/JT serving cell selection
As shown in Figure 3-2, when the PRB usage of the serving cell is greater than the
threshold specified by the CellDlCompAlgo.DpsServingCellDlPrbThd parameter and
the serving cell is a macro cell, the eNodeB selects the serving cell as the DPS serving
cell.
2. The eNodeB selects the cells with the strongest RSRP in the coordinating cell set as
coordinating cells.
If the RSRP value of a neighboring cell minus that of the serving cell of a UE is greater
than or equal to the coordinating cell RSRP threshold plus the coordinating cell RSRP
offset, the UE reports event A3. If the neighboring cell that meets the event A3 reporting
conditions belongs to the coordinating cell set, it is selected as a coordinating cell.
In HomNet networking scenarios, the coordinating cell RSRP threshold is specified
by the CellDlCompAlgo.HomnetDpsCoCellRsrpThd parameter, and only the
macro cells with the strongest RSRP in the coordinating cell set can be selected as
coordinating cells.
In HetNet scenarios, the coordinating cell RSRP threshold is specified by the
CellDlCompAlgo.HetnetDpsCoCellRsrpThd parameter, and only the micro cells
with the strongest RSRP in the coordinating cell set can be selected as coordinating
cells.
In HomNet and HetNet hybrid networking scenarios, the micro cells with the
strongest RSRP in the coordinating cell set are preferentially selected as
coordinating cells.
NOTE
The system automatically configures the coordinating cell RSRP offset to prevent ping-pong
configuration of TM10 for UEs.
3. The eNodeB selects DPS UEs.
If the coordinating cells selected in 2 meet all of the following conditions, the eNodeB
selects the UEs as DPS UEs and configures the TM10 mode for them.
The PRB usage of the serving cell minus the PRB usage of a coordinating cell is
greater than the value of the CellDlCompAlgo.DpsLoadDiffThd parameter.
The number of UEs in RRC_CONNECTED mode in a coordinating cell divided by
the number of UEs in RRC_CONNECTED mode in the serving cell is less than or

eRAN
equal to the value of the CellDlCompAlgo.DpsCoCellUserRatioThd parameter.

The selected DPS UE is regarded as a UE in the coordinating cell.
No PCI mod 3 conflict exists between coordinating cells and the serving cell.
3.2.2 Entering the JT Mode

The process for a UE to enter the JT mode is as follows:
1. JT serving cell selection is triggered.
As shown in Figure 3-2, when the PRB usage of the serving cell is less than or equal to
the threshold specified by the CellDlCompAlgo.JtServingCellDlPrbThd parameter, the
eNodeB selects the serving cell as the JT serving cell.
2. The eNodeB selects the cells with the strongest RSRP in the coordinating cell set as
coordinating cells.
If the RSRP value of the neighboring cell minus that of the serving cell of a UE is greater
than or equal to the value of the CellDlCompAlgo.JtCoCellRsrpThd parameter plus the
coordinating cell RSRP offset, the UE reports event A3. If the neighboring cell that
meets the event A3 reporting conditions belongs to the coordinating cell set, it is selected
as a coordinating cell.
In HomNet networking scenarios, only the cells of the same type as the serving cell
and with the strongest RSRP in the coordinating cell set can be selected as
coordinating cells.
In HetNet networking scenarios, when the serving cell is a macro cell, only the
micro cells with the strongest RSRP in the coordinating cell set can be selected as
coordinating cells.
In HomNet and HetNet hybrid networking scenarios, the cells with the strongest
RSRP in the coordinating cell set are preferentially selected as coordinating cells.
However, when the serving cell is a micro cell, only micro cells can be selected as
coordinating cells.
NOTE
The system automatically configures the coordinating cell RSRP offset to prevent ping-pong
configuration of TM10 for UEs.
3. The eNodeB selects JT UEs.
If the coordinating cells selected in 2 meet both of the following conditions, the eNodeB
selects the UEs as JT UEs and configures the TM10 mode for them.
The PRB usage of a coordinating cell is less than the value of the
CellDlCompAlgo.JtCoCellDlPrbThd parameter.
The spectral efficiency for the CQIs reported by the UEs is less than that for CQIs 5
and 8 in the case of single-codeword transmission. For details about CQIs 5 and 8,
see Table 7.2.3-1 4-bit CQI Table and Table 7.2.3-2 4-bit CQI Table 2 in section
7.2.3 "Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) definition" in 3GPP TS 36.213 V12.9.1.
3.2.3 Exiting the DPS or JT Mode

If a DPS or JT UE reports exit event A3, the eNodeB disables TM10 configuration for the UE
and configures the UE as a common user.

eRAN
3.3 Multi-Cell Coordinated Transmission

After the eNodeB determines the DPS or JT serving cell based on the downlink PRB usage
threshold, the transmission mode used by the serving cell is also determined.
As shown in Figure 3-3, the eNodeB delivers two sets of CSI measurement configurations to
a CoMP UE for measuring channel state information (CSI), including precoding matrix
indication (PMI), rank indication (RI), and CQI, of the serving and coordinating cells,
respectively. The eNodeB transmits data in DPS or JT mode based on the CSI measurement
results reported by the UE and the scheduling information of the serving and coordinating
cells.

DL CoMP Feature Parameter Description 5 Network Impact
5 Network Impact
System Capacity
DL CoMP is implemented using TM10. CSI-RSs need to be configured (in the
CellCsiRsParaCfg MO) in cells when DL CoMP is enabled. However, CSI-RSs will result in
a loss of system capacity. The more REs occupied by CSI-RSs indicate the shorter subframe
period and greater loss.
Network Performance
DL CoMP has the following impact on network performance:
l When DPS takes effect, PDSCH data of CEUs in the heavily loaded serving cell are
offloaded to coordinating cells. In this way, more resources are available for UEs in the
serving cell, and the user-perceived downlink throughput in the serving cell increases. If
the increase of resources for DPS UEs in the lightly loaded coordinating cells cannot
compensate for the loss of channel quality deterioration, the user-perceived downlink
throughput of the DPS UEs decreases.
l HomNet networking: When the PRB usage of the heavily loaded cell is 60%, DL CoMP
increases the CEU throughput by 5% to 10% and the average UE throughput by up to
5%.
l HetNet networking: When a macro cell includes four micro cells and the PRB usage of
the macro cell is 60%, DL CoMP increases the CEU throughput by about 20% and the
average UE throughput by about 10%.
l When the PRB usage of a cell is 10%, DL CoMP increases the throughput of JT UEs by
about 10%. The CEU throughput increase depends on the ratio of JT UEs to CEUs. If
both the DL CoMP and CSI-RS switches are turned on when there are a few JT UEs,
CSI-RS subframe configuration will decrease the average UE throughput.
l DL CoMP uses more PRB resources to increase the average PRB usage, increasing
interference of neighboring cells. In this case, the measured CQI value and the
proportion of rank 2 of CEUs may decrease slightly.
l When the UnCfgCsiRsUEDeOrderSchSwitch(UnCfgCsiRsUEDeOrderSchSwitch)
check box under the CellDlschAlgo.CsiRsSfSchStrSwitch parameter is cleared, UEs not
supporting TM9 or TM10 are not scheduled in CSI-RS subframes. The perceived
throughput of such UEs will decrease by 0% to 5%. When this check box is selected,
UEs not supporting TM9 or TM10 can be scheduled in CSI-RS subframes by using
lower MCS indexes. The perceived throughput of such UEs will increase by 0% to 3%.

DL CoMP Feature Parameter Description 6 Engineering Guidelines
6 Engineering Guidelines
6.1 When to Use

You are advised to enable DL CoMP when all of the following conditions are met:
l The average inter-RRU distance is less than 500 m in densely populated urban areas.
l The average downlink PRB usage of hotspot cells is greater than 40% in heavy-load
scenarios. This condition is more easily met in macro-micro networking scenarios.
l The average downlink PRB usage of cells is less than 20% in light-load scenarios.
l Most UEs move at a speed lower than 10 km/h.
l The penetration rate of TM10-capable UEs exceeds 70%.
6.2 Required Information

To accurately evaluate whether the conditions for enabling DL CoMP are met, collect the
following information before feature deployment:
l Penetration rate of TM10-capable UEs
Check whether UEs on the network support TM10 based on the supportedCSIProcr11
field in the external CHR event PRIVATE_UE_CAPABILITY_INFORMATION and
evaluate the penetration rate of TM10-capable UEs.
l Engineering parameters of cells
Frequency and bandwidth configurations of cells
Inter-site distance and longitude and latitude of each site
l LTE network load, interference, and coverage performance

DL CoMP based on USU3910-based multi-BBU interconnection requires that eX2 links be

The following table describes the parameters that must be set in the CellDlCompAlgo MO to
configure the thresholds for DL CoMP.
Table 6-10 Parameters in the CellDlCompAlgo MO

HetNet DPS CellDlCompAlgo.Hetne The value -12 (corresponding to -6

Coordinating Cell RSRP tDpsCoCellRsrpThd dB) is recommended.

Coordinating Cell RSRP netDpsCoCellRsrpThd dB) is recommended.
Threshold
JT Coordinating Cell CellDlCompAlgo.JtCo The value -6 (corresponding to -3

RSRP Threshold CellRsrpThd dB) is recommended.
DPS Coordinating Cell CellDlCompAlgo.DpsC A larger value of this parameter

User Ratio Threshold oCellUserRatioThd indicates more UEs in coordinating
cells and smaller offload gains to
the serving cell. A smaller value of
this parameter indicates fewer UEs
in coordinating cells and larger
offload gains to the serving cell.
The value 50 is recommended.
DPS Serving cell CellDlCompAlgo.DpsS A smaller value of this parameter

download PRB ervingCellDlPrbThd indicates a lower threshold for a
Threshold cell to be selected as a DPS serving
cell, increasing the probability of
negative DPS gains. A larger value
of this parameter indicates a higher
threshold for a cell to be selected as
a DPS serving cell. In this case,
DPS gains cannot be maximized.

eRAN
DPS Load Difference CellDlCompAlgo.DpsL A larger value of this parameter

Threshold oadDiffThd indicates that more UEs can be
transferred to a coordinating cell in
an update interval, significantly
improving the system throughput.
However, it is possible that the
eNodeB cannot select a proper
neighboring cell if the value is too
large. A smaller value of this
parameter indicates that fewer UEs
can be transferred to a coordinating
cell in an update interval. In this
case, the system throughput does
not improve significantly.
JT Coordinating Cell DL CellDlCompAlgo.JtCo A smaller value of this parameter

PRB Threshold CellDlPrbThd indicates a higher threshold for a
cell to be selected as a coordinating
cell for JT. In this case, JT gains
cannot be maximized. A larger
value of this parameter indicates a
lower threshold for a cell to be
selected as a coordinating cell for
JT, increasing the probability of
negative JT gains.
JT Serving Cell DL PRB CellDlCompAlgo.JtSer A smaller value of this parameter

Threshold vingCellDlPrbThd indicates a lower threshold for a
cell to be selected as a JT serving
cell, reducing the number of cells
that perform JT. In this case, JT
gains decrease. A larger value of
this parameter indicates a higher
threshold for selecting a JT serving
cell, increasing interference caused
by JT and interference to
neighboring cells. In this case, the
system throughput is affected.

6.6 Parameter Optimization

l Calculate the ratio of the average number of downlink DPS UEs
(L.Traffic.User.DLDps.Avg) or average number of JT UEs (L.Traffic.User.DLJT.Avg)
to the average number of UEs in a cell (L.Traffic.User.Avg).
If the ratio is higher than 30%, increase the coordinating cell RSRP threshold (for
example, from -6 dB to -3 dB) to maintain the ratio within 15% to 30%.
If the ratio is lower than 15%, you are advised to decrease the coordinating cell
RSRP threshold (for example, from -3 dB to -6 dB) to maintain the ratio within
15% to 30%.
For DPS UEs in HetNet scenarios, the coordinating cell RSRP threshold cannot be
smaller than -6 dB. For DPS and JT UEs in HomNet scenarios, the coordinating cell
RSRP threshold cannot be smaller than -3 dB. Otherwise, the correctness of data
transmission is affected.
l If negative gains occur after DL CoMP is enabled and DPS takes effect on the live
network, increase the values of CellDlCompAlgo.DpsServingCellDlPrbThd and
CellDlCompAlgo.DpsLoadDiffThd.
l In scenarios where the TM9- or TM10-capable UE penetration rate approaches 100% or
in demonstration scenarios, it is recommended that the CellDlschAlgo.MbsfnSfCfg
parameter be set to the maximum number of MBSFN subframes (including subframes 1,
2, 3, 6, 7, and 8) for cells with DL CoMP enabled to offset TM9/TM10 demodulation
reference signal (DMRS) overheads and reduce cell-specific reference signal (CRS)
interference. DL CoMP requires that the MBSFN subframe configurations for all cells be
consistent.
6.7 Possible Issues

If the number of UEs that benefit from DPS and JT is zero, or the CEU throughput of the
entire network does not increase after DL CoMP is activated, perform the following steps:

eRAN
Step 1 Run the LST CELLALGOSWITCH command to check whether the DL CoMP algorithm
switch is turned on.
l If yes, go to Step 2.
l If no, configure parameters by referring to 6.4.5.1 Data Preparation.
Step 2 Run the DSP CELLDLCOMPCOCELLS command to check whether DL CoMP has taken
effect.
l If yes, go to Step 3.
l If no, check whether the local cell meets the DL CoMP threshold criteria, including user
proportion thresholds for CSI-RS configuration and unconfiguration and the PRB usage
threshold.
Step 3 Check the following performance counters to see whether the DPS or JT UE proportion is too
low, for example, lower than 15%.
1526743727 L.Traffic.User.DLD Average number of downlink DPS UEs in a

ps.Avg cell
1526743728 L.Traffic.User.DLJT Average number of downlink JT UEs in a cell

.Avg
l If no, go to Step 4.
l If yes, the number of DPS and JT UEs is too small. In this case, DL CoMP cannot offer
noticeable gains to increase the capacity in terms of UE quantity and data rate.
Step 4 If the preceding steps fail to resolve the problem, contact Huawei technical support.
