VoLTE Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Background
The LTE voice solution is as follows:
l Voice solution based on dual-standby UEs

A dual-standby UE is capable of receiving or sending signals in both E-UTRAN and
GERAN or UTRAN. Dual-standby UEs automatically select GERAN or UTRAN to
perform voice services and select E-UTRAN to perform data services. That is, the E-
UTRAN provides dual-standby UEs with only data services.
l Voice solution based on CSFB
In the initial phase of LTE network deployment, CSFB is a transitional solution to
provide voice services for LTE users if the IMS is not yet deployed. Figure 2-1 shows
the voice solution based on CSFB.
Figure 2-1 Voice solution based on CSFB
With the CSFB solution, when a UE initiates a CS service in the E-UTRAN, the MME
instructs the UE to fall back to the legacy CS domain of the GERAN or UTRAN before

eRAN
the UE performs the service. For details about CSFB, see CS Fallback Feature
Parameter Description.
l Voice solution based on IMS
This solution is used in the mature stage of the LTE network when the IMS is deployed,
as shown in Figure 2-2. With this solution, UEs can directly perform voice services in an
LTE network. This solution is also termed as the Voice over LTE (VoLTE) solution.
When LTE coverage has not been complete, UEs may move out of LTE coverage and
their voice services may be discontinued. Huawei uses the following methods to ensure
voice service continuity:
If the PS domain of the UTRAN/GERAN does not support VoIP services, VoIP
services are handed over to the CS domain of the UTRAN/GERAN through single
radio voice call continuity (SRVCC). For details about SRVCC, see SRVCC Feature
If the PS domain of the UTRAN/GERAN supports VoIP services, VoIP services are
handed over to the UTRAN/GERAN through PS handovers. For details about PS
handovers, see Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature
Figure 2-2 Voice solution based on IMS
2.2 Introduction
VoLTE is the voice service supported by the IP transmission network between UEs in the E-
UTRAN and the IMS. That is, with VoLTE, UEs in the LTE network can perform voice
services directly.
Emergency services are not described in this document. For details about emergency services,
see Emergency Call Feature Parameter Description.

eRAN
2.3 Benefits
VoLTE provides UEs in the E-UTRAN with voice services, without the need of falling back
to GERAN or UTRAN. VoLTE features the following characteristics:
l Higher spectral efficiency

l Better user experience, such as lower access delay and better voice quality
2.4 Architecture
Network Architecture
Figure 2-3 illustrates the LTE/SAE architecture in non-roaming scenarios. SAE is short for
System Architecture Evolution. For details about the architectures in roaming and non-
roaming scenarios, see section 4.2 "Architecture reference model" in 3GPP TS 23.401.

IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) includes multiple network elements (NEs). These NEs
perform voice session control and multimedia negotiation between the calling and called UEs.
Function Architecture
Table 2-1 describes the basic functions of VoLTE.

eRAN
Table 2-1 Basic VoLTE functions

Function Description
Speech codec scheme During a VoLTE call, the UEs negotiate a speech codec scheme
and traffic model with the IMS. The commonly used codec scheme is Adaptive
Multirate (AMR). For details about its voice traffic model, see
3.1 Speech Codec Scheme and Traffic Model.
VoLTE voice policy During the attach procedure, the UE negotiates with the MME
selection and selects VoLTE as the voice policy. For details about voice
policy selection, see 3.2 VoLTE Voice Policy Selection.
Radio bearer Radio bearers with QoS class identifiers (QCIs) of 1 and 5 are
management set up between the calling and called UEs to carry
conversational voice and signaling, respectively. For details
about radio bearer management, see 3.3 Radio Bearer
Management.
Admission and The eNodeB performs admission and congestion control for
congestion control conversational voice (QCI 1) and signaling (QCI 5). For details
about admission and congestion control, see 3.4 Admission
and Congestion Control.
Dynamic scheduling and By default, the eNodeB performs dynamic scheduling and uses
power control power control policies that are suitable for dynamic scheduling.
For details about dynamic scheduling and power control, see
3.5 Dynamic Scheduling and Power Control.
UEs can perform VoLTE services after the preceding functions are enabled. Table 2-2
describes the features that help improve VoLTE performance such as capacity, coverage, and
voice quality.
Table 2-2 Enhanced VoLTE features/functions

Category Feature/Function Description
Name
Capacity Semi-persistent The eNodeB performs semi-persistent

enhanceme scheduling and power scheduling and uses suitable power control
nt control policies for UEs during talk spurts.
This feature applies only to voice services. For
details about semi-persistent scheduling and
power control, see 4.1.1 Semi-Persistent
Scheduling and Power Control.
The eNodeB performs dynamic scheduling and
uses suitable power control policies for UEs at
voice service setup and during silent periods.

Robust header ROHC compresses the headers of voice packets

compression (ROHC) to reduce air interface overheads.
details about how ROHC works for VoLTE, see
4.1.2 ROHC.
Coverage Transmission time Multiple TTIs are bound together for UEs with
improveme interval (TTI) bundling poor signal quality to transmit the same data.
nt This increases the once-off transmission
success rate.
This feature applies only to uplink voice

compression (ROHC) to reduce air interface overheads and increase
the once-off transmission success rate.

4.2.2 ROHC.
Uplink RLC segmentation This feature restricts the transport block size
enhancement (TBS) in UL dynamic scheduling to control the
number of uplink RLC segments for VoLTE
packets. This restriction improves voice quality
when channel quality is poor. For details about
this feature, see 4.2.3 Uplink RLC
Segmentation Enhancement.
Quality Voice characteristic During uplink dynamic scheduling, the eNodeB

Improveme awareness scheduling adjusts the scheduling priorities of UEs based
nt on their waiting time and estimates the voice
volume to be dynamically scheduled in the
uplink. An independent inactivity timer is
configured for voice services. The purpose is to
improve voice quality, decrease the service
drop rate, and increase the proportion of
satisfied voice service users.

scheduling, UL VoLTE volume estimation for

Name
Uplink compensation For each voice user, the eNodeB measures the
scheduling duration in which the user is not scheduled in
the uplink. If the duration reaches a threshold,
the eNodeB performs uplink compensation
scheduling for the UE. The purpose is to ensure
that uplink voice packets can be timely
transmitted, shorten their waiting time, and
reduce the number of packets discarded
because of the expiry of PDCP Discard Timer.

3.1 Speech Codec Scheme and Traffic Model

The speech codec scheme is classified into AMR and G.7 series. VoLTE uses the AMR-based
speech codec scheme.
AMR
Adaptive Multi Rate (AMR) is an audio data compression scheme optimized for speech
coding and is now widely used in GERAN and UTRAN. AMR is classified into adaptive
multirate wideband (AMR-WB) and adaptive multirate narrowband (AMR-NB).
l AMR-NB has eight speech coding rates. They are 12.2 kbit/s, 10.2 kbit/s, 7.95 kbit/s, 7.4
kbit/s, 6.7 kbit/s, 5.9 kbit/s, 5.15 kbit/s, and 4.75 kbit/s.
l AMR-WB has nine speech coding rates. They are 23.85 kbit/s, 23.05 kbit/s, 19.85 kbit/s,
18.25 kbit/s, 15.85 kbit/s, 14.25 kbit/s, 12.65 kbit/s, 8.85 kbit/s, and 6.6 kbit/s.
NOTE
AMR-NB herein corresponds to AMR in the protocol.
Figure 3-1 shows the voice service traffic model when AMR is used as the codec scheme for
VoLTE services. Whether AMR-WB or AMR-NB is used is negotiated between the UEs and
the IMS.
Figure 3-1 Voice traffic model
There are two VoLTE traffic states:
l Talk spurts
During talk spurts, the uplink of UEs transmits voice packets or the downlink of UEs
receives voice packets. Voice packets are transmitted at intervals of 20 ms, and the
packet size is determined by the speech coding rate.
l Silent period
During silent periods, the UE transmits silence insertion descriptor (SID) frames or
receives SID frames at intervals of 160 ms. For different AMR speech codec rates, the
SID frame sizes are all 56 bits.
The differences between talk spurts and silent period are as follows:
l The size of voice frames is greater than the size of SID frames.

eRAN
l The interval between neighboring voice frames is different from the interval between
SID frames.
The eNodeB distinguishes between voice frames and SID frames based on the preceding
differences.
G.7 Series
The widely used G.7 series standards include G.711, G.729, and G.726.
l G.711
G.711, also known as pulse code modulation (PCM), is primarily used in fixed-line
telephony. It supports a coding rate of 64 kbit/s.
l G.729
G.729, known for the high voice quality and low delay, is widely used in various
domains of data communications. It supports a coding rate of 8 kbit/s.
l G.726
G.726 supports coding rates of 16 kbit/s to 40 kbit/s. The most commonly used rate is 32
kbit/s. In actual application, voice packets are sent at intervals of 20 ms.
3.2 VoLTE Voice Policy Selection

UE capability and configurations on the MME determine whether a UE uses VoLTE.
However, VoLTE may be inappropriate for certain sites or regions. This case is termed as
VoLTE-prohibited scenario.
This section describes voice policy selection for UEs in common and VoLTE-prohibited
scenarios.
3.2.1 Common Scenarios
3.2.1.1 General Principles for Voice Policy Selection

During the UE attach and tracking area update (TAU) period, the MME selects a voice policy
based on the UE capability and configuration on the MME side. The MME then sends the UE
the voice policy contained in the Attach Accept and TAU Accept messages. During voice
policy selection, the MME selects a voice policy based on the following principles:
l If the UE supports only CSFB, the corresponding voice policy is CS Voice only.
l If the UE supports only VoLTE, the corresponding voice policy is IMS PS Voice only,
that is, VoLTE.
l If the UE supports both CSFB and VoLTE, the voice policy used before negotiation with
the MME is one of the following voice policies specified by operators during UE
registration:
CS Voice only
That is, CSFB.
IMS PS Voice only
That is, VoLTE.

eRAN
Prefer CS Voice with IMS PS Voice as secondary

That is, CSFB takes precedence over VoLTE.
For details about the voice policy negotiation procedures between the UE and MME
when this policy is used, see Annex A.2 in 3GPP TS 23.221 V9.4.0.
Prefer IMS PS Voice with CS Voice as secondary
That is, VoLTE takes precedence over CSFB.
Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3 show the voice policy negotiation procedures between
the UE and MME when this policy is used. For details about the voice service
policy negotiation, see Annex A.2 in 3GPP TS 23.221 V9.4.0.
Figure 3-2 Procedures for voice policy selection (non-combined attach)

eRAN
Figure 3-3 Procedures for voice policy selection (combined attach)
3GPP Release 11 introduced VoLTE mobility capability decision, which further helps the
MME in selecting a VoLTE policy.
3.2.1.2 VoLTE Mobility Capability Decision
Figure 3-4 Signaling procedure of VoLTE mobility capability decision
1. During the UE attach period, the MME sends the UE Radio Capability Match Request
message to the eNodeB to query whether the UE has the VoLTE mobility capability.
2. If the eNodeB does not receive the UE radio capability message from the UE, the
eNodeB sends a UE Capability Enquiry message to the UE.
3. The UE reports its radio capability through the UE Capability Information message. For
details, see section 5.6.3 "UE Capability Transfer" in 3GPP TS 36.331 R10.

eRAN
4. If the eNodeB determines that the UE can ensure mobility after the UE performs VoLTE
services, the eNodeB replies the MME with the decision result through the UE Radio
Capability Match Response message.
The SupportS1UeCapMatchMsg option of the GlobalProcSwitch.ProtocolSupportSwitch
parameter specifies whether the eNodeB supports the VoLTE mobility decision.
l When the SupportS1UeCapMatchMsg(SupportS1UeCapMatchMsg) option is
selected, the UE can ensure mobility after the performing VoLTE services if the UE
meets any of the following conditions:
The UE supports UTRAN and SRVCC from E-UTRAN to UTRAN.
The UE supports GERAN and SRVCC from E-UTRAN to GERAN.
The UE supports the PS domain of UTRAN-FDD (VoHSPA), SRVCC from the PS
domain to the CS domain of UTRAN-FDD, and SRVCC from the PS domain of
UTRAN-FDD to the CS domain of GERAN.
The UE supports the PS domain of UTRAN-TDD (VoHSPA), SRVCC from the PS
domain to the CS domain of UTRAN-TDD, and SRVCC from the PS domain of
UTRAN-TDD to the CS domain of GERAN.
l When the SupportS1UeCapMatchMsg option is deselected, the eNodeB does not
perform VoLTE mobility capability decision. In this case, the eNodeB replies ERROR
INDICATION when receiving the UE RADIO CAPABILTY MATCH REQUEST
message. If the UE uses VoLTE but does not support SRVCC, VoLTE mobility cannot be
ensured.
NOTE
The UE RADIO CAPABILTY MATCH REQUEST message is introduced in 3GPP Release 11.
The MME informs the eNodeB of the MME's SRVCC capability in the Initial UE Context Setup
message.
l After the eNodeB obtains the MME's SRVCC capability, it also considers the MME's capability
while determining the preceding conditions. Otherwise, the eNodeB replies to the eNodeB that the
VoLTE mobility cannot be ensured.
l If the eNodeB is not informed of the MME's SRVCC capability, for example, the UE RADIO
CAPABILTY MATCH REQUEST message arrives at the eNodeB earlier than the Initial UE Context
Setup message, the eNodeB does not consider the MME's capability while determining UE voice
service continuity.
3.2.2 VoLTE-Prohibited Scenario

The E-UTRAN supports VoLTE after the IMS is deployed. However, a non-VoLTE solution
(such as CSFB) is used in the following scenarios because VoLTE is not appropriate for these
scenarios:
l Transmission delay is large.
Voice services have high requirements on end-to-end delay. Figure 3-5 shows the
relationship between end-to-end delay and perceived voice quality, as per ITU-T
Recommendation G.114. As shown in the figure, the end-to-end delay threshold to
achieve very satisfied user experience is 200 ms, and that to achieve satisfied user
experience is 275 ms. That is, VoLTE users become dissatisfied on voice quality when
the end-to-end delay exceeds 275 ms. The recommended packet delay budget for the Uu
interface is 80 ms, as per Table 6.1.7: Standardized QCI characteristics in section 6.1.7.2
"Standardized QCI characteristics" of 3GPP TS 23.203. The delay budget between the
EPC and eNodeB is 20 ms. If the transmission delay between the EPC and eNodeB is
greater than 20 ms, voice quality may not be guaranteed after VoLTE is deployed on the
eNodeB.

eRAN
Figure 3-5 Relationship between delay and voice quality
l Voice services are not allowed on certain frequency bands.

Certain operators expect that some frequency bands such as LTE TDD bands do not
serve voice service but serve only data services.
MMEs are required in the preceding scenarios to prohibit VoLTE in certain areas.
Operators can allocate dedicated tracking area identities (TAIs) to regions. After setting
dedicated TAIs on the MME, areas in such scenarios use CSFB instead of VoLTE. During the
Attach and tracking area update (TAU), UEs negotiate or re-negotiate with the MME about
voice policies. Voice policy negotiation between the UE and the MME is transparent to the
eNodeB.
You can turn off the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch switch for eNodeBs

with dedicated TAIs working in the preceding scenarios. For eNodeBs with non-dedicated
TAIs, you can select the VoipHoControlSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter and configure the VoLTE handover blacklist
in the EutranVoipHoBlkList MO. This prevents UEs performing voice services from
handing over to these eNodeBs or reestablished on the eNodeBs.
After the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch switch is turned off and VoLTE is

disabled for a specific tracking area on the MME, the statistics about VoLTE-related KPIs
such as E-RAB Setup Success Rate (VoIP) become 0.
The following is an example.
The MCC and MNC of a network are 001 and 02, respectively. In this network, tracking area
code (TAC) 1 corresponds to eNodeB A, and the other TACs correspond to eNodeBs B to Z.
CSFB is to be used in the area that is labeled TAC 1.
The configurations are as follows:
1. On the MME, configure CSFB for TAC1.

eRAN
2. On eNodeB A, run the following command:

MOD ENODEBALGOSWITCH:EutranVoipSupportSwitch=OFF;
3. (Optional) On eNodeBs B to Z, perform the following command:

MOD ENODEBALGOSWITCH:EutranVoipSupportSwitch=ON;
4. On eNodeBs B to Z, run the following command:

MOD ENODEBALGOSWITCH:HoAlgoSwitch=VoipHoControlSwitch-1;
5. On eNodeBs B to Z, run the following command:

ADD EUTRANVOIPHOBLKLIST: Mcc="001", Mnc="02", Tac=TAC1;
NOTE
In the preceding VoLTE-prohibited scenarios, when a UE performing voice services triggers an intra-
RAT intra-frequency or inter-frequency handover, the eNodeB determines whether to filter out cells in
the VoLTE handover blacklist (specified by the EutranVoipHoBlkList MO) depending on the settings
of the VoipHoControlSwitch option in the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter.
According to current 3GPP specifications, voice policies can be configured only on a TAC basis on the
MME. ENODEBALGOSWITCH.EutranVoipSupportSwitch and
ENODEBALGOSWITCH.HoAlgoSwitch.VoipHoControlSwitch parameters for the eNodeB are used
to support the configuration of TAC-based voice policies on the MME side.
For details about the VoLTE handover blacklist and target cell selection procedures for VoLTE
handovers, see Intra-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description.
When the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch switch is turned on, dedicated bearer for
services with QCI of 1 can be set up for the eNodeB. When this switch is turned off, dedicated bearer for
services with QCI of 1 is not allowed to be set up for the eNodeB.
3.3 Radio Bearer Management
3.3.1 Radio Bearer Setup

From the perspective of eNodeBs, voice session setup includes the following procedures:
RRC connection setup, QCI 5 radio bearer setup, and QCI 1 radio bearer setup. Figure 3-6
shows the process of setting up a voice session between the calling and called UEs.

eRAN
Figure 3-6 Voice session setup process
The process is as follows:

1. In the RRC connection setup procedure, a radio connection is set up between a UE and
an eNodeB so that the UE can send service requests and data packets to upper-layer NEs.
2. In the EPS bearer setup (QCI 5) procedure, a QCI 5 radio bearer is set up for signaling
exchange between the UE and the IMS.
3. After the QCI 5 radio bearer is set up, the calling UE and the IMS perform Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) negotiation on the speech codec scheme, IP address, port
number, called UE's information, and other information.
4. In the EPS bearer establishment (QCI 1) procedure, a QCI 1 radio bearer is set up to
carry voice packets.

eRAN
NOTE
If VoLTE is determined as the voice solution for a UE according to negotiation with the MME, a QCI 5
radio bearer is set up when the UE enters RRC_CONNECTED mode, irrespective of whether the UE is
performing a voice service or not.
When ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch is set to OFF(Off), the eNodeB cannot set up
QCI 1 radio bearers (the eNodeB sends to the EPC a message containing the cause value "Not supported
QCI Value") but can set up QCI 5 radio bearers.
If the UE initiates a conversational video service, a radio bearer (QCI 2) is also set up in the preceding
procedures.
eNodeBs provide the following QCI 1-specific timer settings:
ENodeBConnStateTimer.S1MsgWaitingTimerQci1,
ENodeBConnStateTimer.X2MessageWaitingTimerQci1,
ENodeBConnStateTimer.UuMessageWaitingTimerQci1,
RrcConnStateTimer.UeInactiveTimerQci1, and CellStandardQci.TrafficRelDelay. For details about
these parameters, see Connection Management Feature Parameter Description.
3.3.2 Radio Bearer QoS Management

Radio bearer QoS management for voice services complies with the Policy and Charging
Control architecture defined in 3GPP specifications.
Figure 3-7 shows the architecture of radio bearer QoS management for voice services.
Figure 3-7 Architecture of radio bearer QoS management
The dedicated bearers for voice services perform QoS parameter control based on the
dynamic PCC rule as follows:
1. The IMS (P-CSCF) sends QCI information to the PCRF over the Rx interface.

eRAN
2. Based on the received QCI information and subscription information, the PCRF
generates a QoS rule (including the following key QoS parameters: QCI, ARP, GBR, and
MBR) and sends the rule to the P-GW over the Gx interface.
3. Based on the QoS rule sent from the PCRF, the P-GW instructs the S-GW, MME, and
eNodeB to set up EPS bearers. Services of different QoS requirements are carried by
radio bearers with different QCIs. According to 3GPP specifications, the QCIs for
conversational voice, conversational video, and IMS signaling are 1, 2, and 5,
respectively. Table 3-1 lists their QoS parameters. QoS parameters are set in
StandardQci MOs, and the Radio Link Control (RLC) modes for setting up
conversational voice, conversational video, and IMS signaling E-RABs are specified by
the RlcPdcpParaGroup.RlcMode parameter. For details, see 3GPP 23.203.
Table 3-1 QoS parameters for conversational voice, conversational video, and IMS
signaling

video
5 Non-GBR 1 100 ms 10-6 IMS signaling
NOTE
A smaller priority value indicates a higher priority.

For details about QCIs and RLC modes, see QoS Management Feature Parameter
Description.
3.4 Admission and Congestion Control
3.4.1 Overview
This section describes how the basic features LBFD-002023 Admission Control and
LBFD-002024 Congestion Control work for VoLTE. For details about the two features, see
Admission and Congestion Control Feature Parameter Description.
The eNodeB performs admission and congestion control for conversational voice (QCI of 1)
and IMS signaling (QCI of 5) separately.
3.4.2 Load Monitoring

Load monitoring provides decision references for admission and congestion control. The
eNodeB monitors various resources in a cell to obtain the usage of physical resource blocks
(PRBs), QoS satisfaction rates of GBR services, and resource insufficiency indicators. In this
way, the eNodeB can know the current status of a cell.

eRAN
Conversational Voice (QCI 1)

For the method of calculating the QoS satisfaction rate of QCI 1, see Admission and
Congestion Control Feature Parameter Description.
IMS Signaling (QCI 5)

QCI 5 indicates non-GBR services. There is no need to calculate their QoS satisfaction rates.
3.4.3 Admission Control

Admission control determines whether to admit a GBR service (new service or handover
service) based on the cell load reported by the load monitoring module. The cell load is
represented by the PRB usage, QoS satisfaction rates of GBR services, and resource
insufficiency indicators. For details, see Admission and Congestion Control Feature

The admission control of GBR services with a QCI of 1is performed based on load-based
decisions.

Admission control for non-GBR services (QCI 5) is not based on load. If SRS and PUCCH
resources are successfully allocated, non-GBR services (QCI 5) are directly admitted.
NOTE
The allocation of SRS resources needs to be considered during admission control of non-GBR services
(QCI 5) only when the eNodeB is configured with the LBBPc. The services can be admitted only after
SRS resources are successfully allocated.
Even if the PreemptionSwitch option under the CellAlgoSwitch.RacAlgoSwitch parameter

is selected, IMS signaling (QCI 5) cannot be preempted.
3.4.4 Congestion Control

When the network is congested, the eNodeB preferentially releases low-priority GBR services
to free up resources for other services. For details, see Admission and Congestion Control
Feature Parameter Description.

The eNodeB monitors PRB usage and QoS satisfaction rate to evaluate load status. When the
eNodeB determines that a cell is congested, the eNodeB rejects service access requests and
triggers congestion control to decrease load. The congestion threshold is specified the
CellRacThd.Qci1CongThd parameter. For details about how to set this parameter, see
Admission and Congestion Control Feature Parameter Description.

3.5 Dynamic Scheduling and Power Control
3.5.1 Dynamic Scheduling

This section describes how the optional feature LOFD-00101502 Dynamic Scheduling works
for VoLTE. For details about the principles and engineering guidelines of dynamic scheduling,
see Scheduling Feature Parameter Description.
Overview
Voice services have demanding requirements on delay. Therefore, the Huawei scheduler
optimizes the handling of voice service priorities to ensure voice service QoS. When VoLTE
is deployed, it is recommended that the enhanced proportional fair (EPF) scheduling policy be
used in the uplink and downlink. That is:
l The CellAlgoSwitch.UlschStrategy parameter is set to ULSCH_STRATEGY_EPF.
l The CellAlgoSwitch.UlschStrategy parameter is set to DLSCH_PRI_TYPE_EPF.
On commercial LTE networks, the EPF scheduling policy is used in the uplink and downlink
by default.
For details about dynamic scheduling for voice services, see Scheduling Feature Parameter
Description.
Uplink Dynamic Scheduling

When uplink dynamic scheduling uses the enhanced proportional fair (EPF) algorithm, the
priority of conversational voice (QCI 1) is lower than the priorities of data retransmitted using
HARQ, signaling radio bearer 1 (SRB1), SRB2, and IMS signaling (QCI 5), but higher than
the priorities of other initially transmitted data.
It is recommended that the UlLast2RetransSchOptSwitch option of the
CELLALGOSWITCH.UlSchSwitch parameter be selected when dynamic scheduling is
used and there are voice services. Selecting this option decreases the packet loss rate of voice
services and improves user experience on voice services.
Uplink voice preallocation is introduced to reduce the delay of voice services. When the
number of UEs in a cell exceeds 50, the eNodeB preallocates uplink resources only to UEs
performing voice services. When the number of UEs in a cell is less than or equal to 50, the
eNodeB retains the existing uplink preallocation or uplink smart preallocation mechanism for
all UEs. For details, see Scheduling Feature Parameter Description. Uplink voice
preallocation is controlled by the UlVoipPreAllocationSwtich option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw parameter.
Downlink Dynamic Scheduling

When dynamic scheduling is used, the scheduling priority is related to whether the
LOFD-001109 DL Non-GBR Packet Bundling feature is enabled:
l If the LOFD-001109 DL Non-GBR Packet Bundling feature is not enabled: When the
EPF downlink scheduling algorithm is used, the priority for scheduling voice packets
(QCI of 1) is lower than that for scheduling common control messages, user-level control

eRAN
messages, IMS signaling (QCI of 5), HARQ retransmission data, and RLC AM status
report. However, the priority for scheduling voice packets (QCI of 1) is higher than that
for scheduling initial transmission data.
l If the LOFD-001109 DL Non-GBR Packet Bundling feature is enabled: The priority for
scheduling voice packets (QCI of 1) is no longer higher than that for scheduling initial
transmission data. Instead, the eNodeB sorts overall priorities.
When dynamic scheduling is used, the MCS selection policy depends on the value for the
VoipTbsBasedMcsSelSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.DlSchSwitch parameter.
l When this option is selected, the eNodeB checks the number of online VoIP subscribers
and IBLER and then determines whether to apply the TBS-based MCS selection function
to voice services. TBS is short for transport block size. If the function takes effect on
voice services, the eNodeB makes decisions based on the packet size during a voice call
to select a relatively low MCS while ensuring that the number of RBs remains
unchanged. In this way, HARQ retransmission and user delay are reduced.
l When this option is deselected, the eNodeB determines the MCS for voice services based
on the downlink CQI adjustment algorithm. For details about the downlink CQI
adjustment algorithm, see Scheduling Feature Parameter Description.
When dynamic scheduling is used for voice services, it is recommended that the
DlRetxTbsIndexAdjOptSwitch of the CellAlgoSwitch.CqiAdjAlgoSwitch parameter be
turned on to reduce the voice packet loss rate and improve voice user experience. For details
about this switch, see Scheduling Feature Parameter Description.
3.5.2 Power Control in Dynamic Scheduling

Power control policies for voice services in dynamic scheduling are the same as those for data
services. For details about voice service power control policies when dynamic scheduling is
used for voice services, see Power Control Feature Parameter Description.

Operators can enable features described in this chapter to improve VoLTE performance such
as capacity and coverage.

eRAN
4.1 Capacity Enhancement

The following features can be enabled to increase capacity for voice services:
l Semi-persistent scheduling and power control
When the capacity is low due to high PDCCH overheads, these features can be used to
reduce PDCCH overheads and therefore increase the maximum number of VoLTE users
or the throughput of data services (provided that the number of VoLTE users remains
unchanged).
l Uplink delay-based dynamic scheduling
When there are too many VoLTE users, this feature can be used to improve the
performance of cell edge users (CEUs) by sacrificing the performance of cell center
users (CCUs) and increase the proportion of satisfied VoLTE users.
l ROHC
By compressing the headers of voice packets, this feature reduces air interface overheads
and increase the maximum number of VoLTE users or the throughput of data services
(provided that the number of VoLTE users remains unchanged).
4.1.1 Semi-Persistent Scheduling and Power Control
4.1.1.1 Semi-Persistent Scheduling

This section describes the LOFD-001016 VoIP Semi-persistent Scheduling feature.
Introduction
When dynamic scheduling is used for voice services, time-frequency resource or MCS is
updated through the PDCCH every 20 ms. This consumes a large number of PDCCH
resources. Figure 4-1 shows the resource allocation for dynamic scheduling.
Figure 4-1 Resource allocation for dynamic scheduling

eRAN
Huawei introduces the VoLTE semi-persistent scheduling feature for small-packet services
that are periodically transmitted such as VoLTE. Before entering talk spurts, the eNodeB
allocates fixed resources to UEs through the PDCCH message. Before exiting talk spurts or
releasing resources, the UEs do not need to apply for resource allocation from the PDCCH
again, thereby saving PDCCH resources. Figure 4-2 shows the resource allocation for semi-
persistent scheduling.
After delivering the the PDCCH message, the eNodeB transmits voice packets in an interval
of 20 ms.
Figure 4-2 Resource allocation for semi-persistent scheduling
The eNodeB configures semi-persistent scheduling parameters for UEs supporting semi-
persistent scheduling in the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message during DRB setup for
QCI of 1. The eNodeB activates UL or DL semi-persistent scheduling for UEs when UEs
meet the UL or DL semi-persistent scheduling activation conditions. The eNodeB instructs
UEs to activate UL or DL semi-persistent scheduling through the PDCCH Order notification.
For details about the PDCCH Order format, see section 9.2 "PDCCH/EPDCCH validation for
semi-persistent scheduling" in 3GPP TS 36.213 V12.3.0.

eRAN
Effect Period
Figure 4-3 Semi-persistent scheduling effect period
In talk spurt, uplink or downlink semi-persistent scheduling takes effect when all the
following conditions are met:
l The following options are selected:
The SpsSchSwitch option of the CELLALGOSWITCH.UlSchSwitch parameter
The SpsSchSwitch option of the CELLALGOSWITCH.DlSchSwitch parameter.
l The UE supports semi-persistent scheduling.
l The UE performing voice services is in uplink or downlink talk spurts.
l The uplink or downlink for the UE has only one dedicated bearer for services with QCI
of 1. For the uplink, there is no data transmission on the data bearer.
l RLC segmentation is not performed in the uplink or downlink for the UE.
l When ROHC is enabled, the uplink or downlink ROHC is in the stable compression
state, that is, the size of the ROHC header is relatively stable.
eNodeBs use dynamic scheduling in the following scenarios during talk spurts:
l Transmission of large packets, such as channel-associated signaling or uncompressed
packets generated when the ROHC feature updates contexts
l Downlink semi-persistent retransmission
l Uplink semi-persistent adaptive retransmission
NOTE
When the UE uses semi-persistent scheduling, the highest MCS index is only 15.
Uplink Semi-Persistent Scheduling

During semi-persistent scheduling, the eNodeB determines the modulation and coding
scheme (MCS) and the number of PRBs based on the following items:
l Voice packet size (ROHC disabled) or size of compressed voice packets (ROHC
enabled)

eRAN
l Wideband signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR)
After semi-persistent scheduling is activated, the UE periodically sends data and the eNodeB
periodically receives data using the semi-persistently allocated resources. In addition, the
eNodeB checks whether the MCS allocated in semi-persistent scheduling matches the current
channel status. If the MCS does not match the current channel status, the eNodeB activates
semi-persistent scheduling again.
After the eNodeB triggers a UE to enter uplink semi-persistent scheduling, the

logicalChannelSR-Mask-r9 IE in the RRC Reconfiguration message instructs the UE not to
send scheduling requests over the radio bearers for QCI of 1. This reduces UE power
consumption. The CellAlgoSwitch.SrMaskSwitch parameter controls this function. It is
recommended that both this function and uplink semi-persistent scheduling be enabled. This
function takes effect only on UEs that comply with 3GPP Release 9 or later.
When the number of empty packets received by the eNodeB in semi-persistent scheduling
exceeds the value of CellAlgoSwitch.SpsRelThd, the eNodeB automatically releases semi-
persistently allocated resources.
Downlink Semi-Persistent Scheduling

Downlink data transmitted in semi-persistent scheduling mode has a lower priority than
common control (such as broadcast and paging) information but a higher priority than UE-
specific control information and user-plane data. The eNodeB periodically sends data and the
UE periodically receives data using the semi-persistently allocated resources.
During semi-persistent scheduling, the eNodeB determines the MCS and the number of PRBs
based on the following items:
l Voice packet size (ROHC disabled) or size of compressed voice packets (ROHC
enabled)
l Wideband CQI
The UE and eNodeB then receive and send data on the allocated resources.
After semi-persistent scheduling is activated, the eNodeB checks whether the MCS allocated
in semi-persistent scheduling matches the current channel status. If the MCS does not match
the current channel status, the eNodeB activates semi-persistent scheduling again.
According to 3GPP TS 36.321 and 3GPP TS 36.331, the eNodeB reserves HARQ processes
for downlink semi-persistent scheduling while configuring semi-persistent scheduling for
UEs.
When the eNodeB configures semi-persistent scheduling for UEs, the PUCCH requires
available semi-persistent code channel for HARQ. Otherwise, the eNodeB does not configure
semi-persistent scheduling for UEs.
4.1.1.2 Power Control in Semi-Persistent Scheduling

This section describes voice service power control policies when semi-persistent scheduling is
used for VoLTE. For details about power control, see Power Control Feature Parameter
Description.

eRAN
Power Control in Uplink Semi-Persistent Scheduling

When semi-persistent scheduling is used for VoLTE in the uplink, closed-loop power control
for the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) can be enabled or disabled by setting the
CloseLoopSpsSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.UlPcAlgoSwitch parameter.
l If the CloseLoopSpsSwitch option is selected, the eNodeB adjusts transmit power for
the PUSCH based on the measured IBLER of voice services.
l If the CloseLoopSpsSwitch option is deselected, the eNodeB uses open-loop (not
closed-loop) power control for the PUSCH.
Power Control in Downlink Semi-Persistent Scheduling

When semi-persistent scheduling is used for VoLTE in the downlink, power control for the
PDSCH can be enabled or disabled by setting the PdschSpsPcSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.DlPcAlgoSwitch parameter.
l If the PdschSpsPcSwitch option is selected, the eNodeB periodically adjusts the
PDSCH transmit power for UEs based on the measured IBLER.
l If the PdschSpsPcSwitch option is deselected, power control for the PDSCH in semi-
persistent scheduling is not used. Instead, the eNodeB transmit power is evenly shared
by each RB.
4.1.2 ROHC
This section describes how the optional feature LOFD-001017 RObust Header Compression
(ROHC) works for VoLTE. For details about this feature, see ROHC Feature Parameter
Description.
ROHC provides an efficient header compression mechanism for data packets transmitted on
radio links to solve the problems of high bit error rates (BERs) and long round trip time
(RTT). ROHC helps reduce header overheads, lower the packet loss rate, and shorten
response time.
In the current version, ROHC is used to compress the headers of only voice packets (QCI of 1
and PTT QCI services), as shown in Figure 4-4. ROHC reduces the packet size and physical
resource block (PRB) overheads. When PRBs are insufficient, ROHC helps increase system
capacity.
Figure 4-4 ROHC for VoLTE
After deploying VoLTE, operators can enable or disable ROHC by setting the
PdcpRohcPara.RohcSwitch parameter. ROHC is an extensible framework consisting of

eRAN
different profiles for data streams compliant with different protocols. Profiles define the
compression modes for streams with different types of protocol headers. Voice services use
profiles 0x0001 and 0x0002.
The ROHC compression efficiency varies with the ROHC operating mode and variations in
the dynamic part of packet headers at the application layer. A header can be compressed to a
size as small as 1 byte, which efficiently reduces the voice packet size.
4.2 Coverage Improvement

Operators can enable the following features to improve voice service coverage in poor
coverage scenarios:
l TTI Bundling
l ROHC
l Uplink RLC segmentation enhancement
4.2.1 TTI Bundling

This section describes the principles of the optional feature LOFD-001048 TTI Bundling and
how this feature works for VoLTE.
4.2.1.1 Overview
TTI bundling enables a data block to be transmitted in four consecutive TTIs, which are
bound together and treated as the same resource. Different HARQ redundancy versions of the
same data block are transmitted in different TTIs. TTI bundling makes full use of HARQ
combining gains and reduces the number of retransmissions and RTT.
When the UE's channel quality is poor and transmit power is limited, TTI bundling increases
the cell edge coverage of the PUSCH by about 1 dB. The gains produced by this feature can
be observed when voice quality is maintained at a certain level, for example, when the mean
opinion score (MOS) is 3.
The TtiBundlingSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.UlSchSwitch parameter determines
whether to enable TTI bundling. When this option is selected, the eNodeB determines
whether to activate TTI bundling based on the channel quality. After activating TTI bundling,
the eNodeB determines the number of PRBs and selects an MCS based on the channel quality
and the amount of data to be transmitted.
According to section 8.6.1 "Modulation order and redundancy version determination" in
3GPP TS 36.213 V10.1.0, when TTI bundling is enabled, the resource allocation size is
restricted to a maximum of three PRBs and the modulation scheme must be QPSK. Therefore,
the selected MCS index cannot be greater than 10. After TTI bundling is enabled, the
maximum available TBS is as large as 504 bits. Voice services are delay-sensitive. If higher-
layer data is not transmitted within the specified delay budget, voice quality deteriorates. To
prevent this, TTI bundling is disabled when a G.711-defined high speech codec rate is used.
4.2.1.2 Principles
Entry into the TTI Bundling State

In eRAN8.1, the CellAlgoSwitch.TtiBundlingTriggerStrategy parameter is introduced.

eRAN
l When the TtiBundlingTriggerStrategy parameter is set to

SERVICE_VOIP(SERVICE_VOIP), TTI bundling applies to only VoLTE. Under this
parameter setting, the conditions for entering the TTI bundling state are as follows:
The TtiBundlingSwitch of the eNodeB is turned on.
The UE supports TTI bundling.
The UE has only one QCI 1 dedicated bearer and stays in the talk spurts state. In
addition, the UE does not have data to transmit on the data bearer.
The UL power of the UE is limited, and the number of PRBs is less than or equal to
3.
The measured SINR is less than the target SINR for multiple consecutive times.
The number of consecutive times is specified by the
CellAlgoSwitch.StatisticNumThdForTtibTrig.
If the UE meets all these conditions, the eNodeB sends the UE an RRC Connection
Reconfiguration message, instructing the UE to enter the TTI bundling state.
l When the TtiBundlingTriggerStrategy parameter is set to
SERVICE_MULTIAPP(SERVICE_MULTIAPP), TTI bundling can apply to VoLTE
or a combination of VoLTE and data. Under this parameter setting, the conditions for
entering the TTI bundling state are as follows:
The TtiBundlingSwitch of the eNodeB is turned on.
The UE supports TTI bundling.
The UE has a QCI 1 dedicated bearer.
The UL power of the UE is limited, and the number of PRBs is less than or equal to
3.
The measured SINR is less than the target SINR for multiple consecutive times.
The number of consecutive times is specified by the
CellAlgoSwitch.StatisticNumThdForTtibTrig.
If the UE meets all these conditions, the eNodeB sends the UE an RRC Connection
Reconfiguration message, instructing the UE to enter the TTI bundling state.
The processing in versions earlier than eRAN8.1 is the same as that when the
TtiBundlingTriggerStrategy parameter is set to SERVICE_VOIP(SERVICE_VOIP) in
eRAN8.1.
Data Block Transmission

For the UE in the TTI bundling state, the eNodeB determines the number of PRBs and MCS
based on channel quality and the amount of data to transmit. Then, the eNodeB transmits data
blocks.
As shown in Figure 4-5 , the UE transmits identical data within four consecutive TTIs in a
bundle and performs HARQ retransmission also within four TTIs in a bundle. The
retransmission operates in synchronous non-adaptive mode. Four uplink subframes in PHICH
carry one ACK/NACK message. The HARQ retransmission interval is changed from 8 TTIs
(Normal HARQ RTT) to 16 TTIs (Bundle HARQ RTT).
Take the transmission of a data block as an example. Assume that the UE transmits the data
block in a bundle of TTIs, among which the last TTI is numbered N. The eNodeB sends an
ACK or NACK as feedback to the UE in the (N + 4)th TTI. Based on the feedback, the UE
determines whether a retransmission is required. If it is required, the UE retransmits the data
block in the (N + 13)th through (N + 16)th TTIs.

eRAN
When the UE is in the TTI bundling state, the maximum number of uplink HARQ
retransmissions is specified by the CellAlgoSwitch.TtiBundlingHarqMaxTxNum parameter.
Figure 4-5 TTI bundling
In the TTI bundling state, the number of RLC segments of a voice packet cannot be greater
than the value of the CellAlgoSwitch.TtiBundlingRlcMaxSegNum parameter. The number is
4 in Figure 4-6.
Figure 4-6 Collaboration between TTI bundling and RLC segmentation
When the UE is located at the cell edge, RLC segmentation in collaboration with TTI
bundling produces fewer RLC segments than pure RLC segmentation, reducing PDCCH
overheads.
Exit from TTI Bundling

When the measured SINR is greater than the sum of the target SINR and the
CellAlgoSwitch.HystToExitTtiBundling parameter value for multiple consecutive times, the
eNodeB instructs the UE to exit the TTI bundling state through an RRC Connection
Reconfiguration message. The number of consecutive times is specified by the
StatisticNumThdForTtibExit parameter.
The eNodeB does not instruct the UE to exit the TTI bundling state even when the UE has
data to transmit on the default bearer, needs to set up a new dedicated bearer, or stops the
voice service (QCI 1). The eNodeB instructs the UE to exit the TTI bundling state when the
UE meets the exit conditions, experiences handover or service drop, or needs to reestablish a
new connection.
4.2.2 ROHC
This section describes how the optional feature LOFD-001017 RObust Header Compression
(ROHC) works for VoLTE. For details about this feature, see ROHC Feature Parameter
Description.

eRAN
ROHC can compress the RTP, UDP, or IP header of a voice packet, thereby reducing the size
of the entire packet. ROHC results in a higher probability of correctly transmitting voice
packets with fewer segments and enhances the edge coverage for voice services.
4.2.3 Uplink RLC Segmentation Enhancement

This section describes how uplink RLC segmentation enhancement works for VoLTE.
The number of Uplink RLC segments is dependent on the TBS determined by UL scheduling.
The smaller the TBS, the large the number of uplink RLC segments. When channel quality is
poor and UL power is limited, a small TBS results in a large number of uplink RLC segments,
which causes:
l Long delay of voice packets
l Uplink voice packet loss (because voice packets wait in the UE buffer so long that the
packet discard timer expires)
l Large overhead of RLC and MAC headers
l Large consumption of control channel elements (CCEs) and resource blocks (RBs) by
UL dynamic scheduling of VoLTE services
Uplink RLC segmentation enhancement restricts the TBS in UL dynamic scheduling to

control the number of uplink RLC segments for voice packets. This restriction improves voice
quality when channel quality is poor.
The CellAlgoSwitch.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum parameter is introduced to control the

maximum number of uplink RLC segments for UEs not in the TTI bundling state.
l When the number of uplink RLC segments is less than or equal to the value of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum parameter, the number is not restricted.
l When the number of uplink RLC segments is greater than the value of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum parameter, the number is restricted. Based on
the voice packet size and the configured maximum number of RLC segments, a
minimum TBS is guaranteed in UL dynamic scheduling so that the number of uplink
RLC segments decreases to this maximum number.
This function takes effect when all the following conditions are met:
l The CellAlgoSwitch.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum parameter is set to a none-zero value.

l The GLOBALPROCSWITCH.LcgProfile parameter is set to LCG_PROFILE_0 or
LCG_PROFILE_2.
This function does not take effect when one of the following conditions is met:
l The CellAlgoSwitch.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum parameter is set to 0.

l The GLOBALPROCSWITCH.LcgProfile parameter is set to LCG_PROFILE_1.
l The UE enters the TTI bundling state.
NOTE
This function applies only to services with QCI of 1.

When the CellAlgoSwitch.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum parameter is set to the recommended value, this
function increases the MOS of VoIP users who do not support TTI bundling by about 0.3 in uplink weak
coverage areas.

eRAN
4.3 Quality Improvement
4.3.1 Voice Characteristic Awareness Scheduling

This section describes LOFD-081229 Voice Characteristic Awareness Scheduling, involving
uplink delay-based dynamic scheduling, estimation of uplink VoLTE volume for dynamic
scheduling, and independent configuration for voice inactivity timer.
Uplink Delay-based Dynamic Scheduling

For uplink delay-based dynamic scheduling, the eNodeB prioritizes voice packets based on
their waiting times. Sorting scheduling priorities based on delay for voice services brings
balanced scheduling sequence. This helps improve voice quality. Specifically, voice quality
improves for UEs far from center with poor channel quality. This feature increases the user
satisfaction rate of UEs with voice services in scenarios where voice service load is high.
Figure 4-7 shows the difference before and after uplink delay-based dynamic scheduling is
enabled.
Figure 4-7 Difference before and after uplink delay-based dynamic scheduling is enabled.
A longer wait time indicates a higher scheduling priority. When the

CellAlgoSwitch.UlDelaySchStrategy parameter is set to VOIP_DELAYSCH(VoIP Service
Delay Scheduling), uplink delay-based dynamic scheduling for VoLTE is used.
Uplink VoLTE Volume Estimation for Dynamic Scheduling

The eNodeB can obtain the accurate downlink service volume but cannot obtain the accurate
uplink service volume.
Therefore, uplink VoLTE volume estimation for dynamic scheduling is introduced to allow
the eNodeB to perform the uplink estimation based on the VoLTE model and uplink
scheduling intervals so that scheduling can be completed in one time:
l During talk spurts, the eNodeB estimates the number of voice packets in the UE buffer
based on their uplink scheduling intervals and then calculates the volume of voice
packets based on the size of a voice packet.
l During silent periods, the eNodeB takes the size of a voice packet as the uplink VoLTE
volume for dynamic scheduling.
Uplink VoLTE volume estimation for dynamic scheduling makes the calculation of uplink
service volume more accurate and therefore shortens voice packet delays. This function can

eRAN
improve voice quality when the cell is heavily loaded and DRX is enabled. Figure 4-8 shows
the principles.
Figure 4-8 Uplink VoLTE Volume Estimation for Dynamic Scheduling
Uplink VoLTE volume estimation for dynamic scheduling is controlled by the

UlVoLTEDataSizeEstSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw
parameter.
Independent Configurations for the UE Inactivity Timer for Voice Services

When a called UE does not answer the call, the calling UE is released after the UE inactivity
timer expires. This may interrupt the session.
l In dynamic DRX scenarios, the RrcConnStateTimer.UeInactivityTimerDynDrx
parameter specifies the length of the UE inactivity timer. The default and recommended
values of this parameter are large and therefore do not cause call setup failures in the
preceding scenario.
In other scenarios, with independent configuration for voice inactivity timer, the UEs can
distinguish voice and non-voice scenarios. That is, the length of the UE inactivity timer
can be independently configured to avoid the preceding negative impact. When the
CELLALGOSWITCH.UEInactiveTimerQCI1Switch parameter is set to ON(On), the
RrcConnStateTimer.UeInactiveTimerQci1 parameter takes effect. Otherwise, the
RrcConnStateTimer.UeInactiveTimerQci1 parameter does not take effect. It is
recommended that the value of the RrcConnStateTimer.UeInactiveTimerQci1
parameter be greater than the active connection release timer length when the called
party of the core network does not respond.
4.3.2 Uplink Compensation Scheduling

This section describes LBFD-081104 UL Compensation Scheduling.
Sending uplink data is dependent on the scheduling requests (SRs) reported by UEs. If an
eNodeB experiences missing SR detection, the eNodeB may not perform scheduling in a

eRAN
timely manner. This may extend the voice packet waiting delay or cause timeout-triggered
packet loss. Figure 4-9 shows the situation before uplink compensation scheduling is enabled.
Figure 4-9 Uplink compensation scheduling not enabled
Uplink compensation scheduling is a technique in which the eNodeB identifies voice users
and, for each voice user, measures the duration in which the user is not scheduled in the
uplink. If the duration reaches a threshold, the eNodeB sends a UL Grant to the UE to ensure
that uplink voice packets can be timely transmitted. This way, this feature shortens the waiting
time of voice packets and reduces the number of packets discarded because of the expiry of
PDCP Discard Timer. Figure 4-10 shows the situation after uplink compensation scheduling
is enabled.
Figure 4-10 Uplink compensation scheduling enabled
This feature is controlled by the UlVoipSchOptSwitch option of the

CellAlgoSwitch.UlEnhencedVoipSchSw parameter.

eRAN
4.3.3 Voice-Specific AMC

This section describes LBFD-081105 Voice-Specific AMC.
For details about the principles and engineering guidelines of adaptive modulation and coding
(AMC), mainly MCS selection for uplink dynamic scheduling, see Scheduling Feature
The eNodeB adjusts SINRs for UEs to be dynamically scheduled in the uplink based on the
configured uplink target IBLER and then preliminarily selects MCSs for the UEs.
To reduce the uplink VoLTE packet loss rate and VoLTE packet delay, users can set different
target uplink IBLER values for VoLTE and data services.
l The CellAlgoSwitch.SinrAdjustTargetIbler parameter specifies the target uplink IBLER
value for data services.
l The CellAlgoSwitch. SinrAdjTargetIblerforVoLTE parameter specifies the target uplink
IBLER value for VoLTE services. This parameter takes effect only to VoLTE UEs not in
the TTI bundling state.
Voice-specific AMC and uplink RLC segmentation enhancement can be enabled
simultaneously. Uplink RLC segmentation enhancement takes precedence if its requirements
are met.
4.4 Power Saving

This section describes how the basic feature LBFD-002017 DRX works for VoLTE.
As shown in Figure 4-11, with DRX enabled, UEs enter the sleep state when data is not
transmitted, saving UE power. DRX typically applies to services with consecutive small
packets that are transmitted periodically, for example, voice services. According to 3GPP TS
23.203 and section A.2.1.4 "System performance metrics" in 3GPP TS 36.814, a 50 to 80 ms
delay budget is reserved for services with QCI of 1 in the Uu interface and the interval of
sending voice frames is 20 ms. Therefore, the DRX cycle must be set to 20 ms or 40 ms,
considering the retransmission time. In this situation, setting DRX cycle to a short value for
voice services does not provide much gain. Therefore, it is recommended that the short DRX
cycle be disabled when configuring DRX parameter for services with QCI of 1.
Similar to the default bearer for a data service, the default bearer for a VoLTE service (that is,
the signaling bearer [QCI 5]) always exists as long as the UE is in RRC_CONNECTED
mode, regardless of whether the UE has a QCI 1 voice bearer. Therefore, it is recommended
that the DRX parameters for QCI 5 be set to the same values as those for a default bearer used
in a data service. In addition, as a long DRX cycle leads to a long delay for setting up a QCI 1
voice bearer, it is recommended that the long DRX cycle for QCI 5 be less than or equal to
320 ms to provide fast access experience for VoLTE users.
The DRX.DrxAlgSwitch parameter specifies whether to enable DRX.

eRAN
Figure 4-11 DRX working for VoLTE
Enabling DRX for QCI 1 can reduce the battery consumption on voice services, but at the
same time it affects voice quality, for example, the packet loss rate increases. For details, see
DRX and Signaling Feature Parameter Description.
NOTE
False detection of the PDCCH may cause voice packet loss, due to which there is a low probability of voice
quality deterioration. Preallocation can be used to reduce the impact of false detection. For details about how
DRX works with preallocation, see DRX and Signaling Control Feature Parameter Description.
4.5 Mobility Management
4.5.1 Overview
This section describes the mobility of voice services. It is recommended that coverage-based
intra-RAT and inter-RAT handovers for voice services be turned on by default to ensure the
continuity of voice services.
Voice and data service handovers are classified into intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and
inter-RAT handovers. Their handover procedures are the same. However, certain handover
parameters can be configured according to the QCI. When UEs set up bearers for different
QCIs during coverage-based, distance-based, and UL-quality-based handovers, the handover
parameters with high priority are used as the handover parameters. For details about
handovers caused by other reasons, see Intra-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode
Feature Parameter Description and Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode
Feature Parameter Description. The QCI priority is specified by the
CellStandardQci.QciPriorityForHo parameter. A smaller value of this parameter indicates a
higher priority. If the QCI priority configurations (indicated by the
CellStandardQci.QciPriorityForHo parameter) are the same, the eNodeB selects handover
parameters for the UE depending on the QCI priority configurations in 3GPP specifications.
Handover parameter with high priority is used as the handover parameter of the UE. For
details, see section 6.1.7 "Standardized QoS characteristics" in 3GPP TS 23.203 V10.3.0.

eRAN
NOTE
VoLTE is generally deployed in existing LTE networks, which are data networks. Mobility parameters in
existing LTE networks have been optimized constantly and can satisfy the KPI requirements of data services.
The QoS requirements differ depending on voice and data services. It is recommended that inter-frequency or
inter-RAT mobility parameters separately configured for voice and data services. For data services, the inter-
frequency or inter-RAT mobility parameters optimized in the existing network are recommended. For voice
services, the default inter-frequency or inter-RAT mobility parameters are recommended. The preceding
recommendations minimize the impact on the KPIs of data services in future network optimization on VoLTE
services. For intra-frequency mobility, relative thresholds are used and can be separately configured for voice
and data services. However, separate configurations are not recommended.
Like the default bearer for a data service, the signaling bearer (QCI 5)for a VoLTE service always exists as
long as the UE is in RRC_CONNECTED mode. Therefore, mobility parameters for QCI 5 can be set to the
same values as those for the default bearer used in a data service.
4.5.2 Intra-Frequency Handover

This section describes the handover parameters that are set based on QCIs in different intra-
frequency handover scenarios. These parameters are as follows:
l IntraFreqHOGroup.IntraFreqHoA3Hyst
l IntraFreqHOGroup.IntraFreqHoA3Offset
l IntraFreqHOGroup.IntraFreqHoA3TimeToTrig
For details about intra-frequency handovers, see Intra-RAT Mobility Management in
Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description.
4.5.3 Inter-Frequency Handover

This section describes the handover parameters that are set based on QCIs in different inter-
frequency handover scenarios.
For details about intra-frequency handovers, see Intra-RAT Mobility Management in
Coverage-based Inter-Frequency Handover

The following handover parameters can be configured based on QCIs:

eRAN
l InterFreqHoGroup.InterFreqHoA5Thd1Rsrp
l InterFreqHoGroup.InterFreqHoA5Thd1Rsrq
Service-based Inter-Frequency Handover

It is recommended that service-based inter-frequency handovers be used in inter-frequency
co-coverage scenarios.
l InterFreqHoGroup.InterFreqLoadBasedHoA4ThdRsrp
l InterFreqHoGroup.InterFreqLoadBasedHoA4ThdRsrq
If operators require that service-based inter-frequency handovers be performed on voice

services, that is, services with QCI of 1 be preferentially set up on a certain frequency, the
following handover policies must be configured:
l Set the handover policy ServiceIfHoCfgGroup.InterFreqHoState of

ServiceIfDlEarfcnGrp.DlEarfcn to PERMIT_HO.
NOTE
When a UE initiates a voice service, the eNodeB delivers the A4 measurement configuration to the
UE, instructing the UE to measure the frequency identified by the
ServiceIfDlEarfcnGrp.DlEarfcn parameter.
l Set the CnOperatorStandardQci.Qci parameter to configure the mapping between the
inter-frequency handover frequency policy and services with a QCI of 1.
l Set the CellStandardQci.QciPriorityForHo parameter to configure the highest
handover priority for QCI 1.
l It is recommended that initial planning and configuration be performed on neighboring
cells on frequencies that carry only VoLTE services.
Distance-based Inter-Frequency Handover

UL-Quality-based Inter-Frequency Handover

Similar to coverage-based inter-frequency handover, UL-quality-based inter-frequency
handover uses certain parameters that can be specified based on QCIs. For details, see
Coverage-based Inter-Frequency Handover.
Frequency-Priority-based Inter-Frequency Handover

The following handover parameters related to event A1 and event A2 can be separately
configured based on QCIs:
l InterFreqHoGroup.FreqPriInterFreqHoA1ThdRsrp
l InterFreqHoGroup.FreqPriInterFreqHoA1ThdRsrq
l InterFreqHoGroup.FreqPriInterFreqHoA2ThdRsrp

eRAN
l InterFreqHoGroup.FreqPriInterFreqHoA2ThdRsrq
Similar to service-based inter-frequency handover, frequency-priority-based inter-frequency
handover uses certain A4-related parameters that can be specified based on QCIs. For details,
see Service-based Inter-Frequency Handover.
4.5.4 Inter-RAT Handover
4.5.4.1 Handover Type

This section describes the handover parameters that are set based on QCIs in different inter-
RAT handover scenarios.
For details about inter-RAT handovers, see Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected

Service-based Inter-RAT Handover

With service-based inter-RAT handover, voice services are handed over from the E-UTRAN
to GERAN or UTRAN during the service setup phase.
If VoLTE has been deployed, the configurations of service-based inter-RAT handover must
meet either of the following conditions so that the eNodeB does not immediately trigger the
service-based inter-RAT handover procedure after the UE sets up voice services:
l The UtranServiceHoSwitch(UtranServiceHoSwitch) and
GeranServiceHoSwitch(GeranServiceHoSwitch) options of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter are deselected.

UL-Quality-based Inter-RAT Handover

Similar to coverage-based inter-RAT handover, certain handover parameters for UL-quality-
based inter-RAT handover can be configured based on QCIs. For details, see Coverage-based
Inter-RAT Handover.
4.5.4.2 Handover Mode

The eNodeB determines whether to use SRVCC or PS handover for performing the preceding
inter-RAT handovers so that the CS or PS domain of the target RAT can carry voice services.
The eNodeB selects a handover mode based on conditions such as UE capability and whether
the target RAT can carry IMS-based voice services.
SRVCC
With SRVCC, the eNodeB hands over voice services from E-UTRAN to the CS domain of the
GERAN or UTRAN to ensure voice call continuity. For details about SRVCC, see SRVCC
PS Handover
With PS handover, the eNodeB hands over voice services from E-UTRAN to the PS domain
of the UTRAN to ensure voice call continuity.
If the UTRAN supports the IMS-based VoHSPA voice solution, voice services can be handed
over to VoHSPA of the UTRAN using inter-RAT PS handovers. In this situation, the
mechanism of inter-RAT PS handovers for voice services is the same as that for data services.

ANR
After LOFD-002001 Automatic Neighbour Relation (ANR) or LOFD-002002 Inter-RAT
ANR are configured, the eNodeB filters out UEs performing voice services while selecting
UEs to perform fast ANR measurement.
l The eNodeB does not select the UEs with bearers of QCI 1 when selecting UEs that
newly access the network or are handed over to the cell.
l For UEs that are already selected for fast ANR measurement, the eNodeB uses a
measurement control policy depending on the value of the
GlobalProcSwitch.VoipWithGapMode parameter:
When this parameter is set to ENABLE, the eNodeB does not delete the fast ANR
measurements if the bearer with a QCI of 1 is set up for the UE. However,
continuous measurement gaps may affect the voice quality of services with a QCI
of 1.
When this parameter is set to DISABLE, the eNodeB sends an RRC Connection
Reconfiguration message to delete fast ANR measurements if the UE sets up bearer
with a QCI of 1.
l UEs read cell global identifications (CGIs) in sleep time during DRX. The sleep time
stops when a data packet arrives. This has an impact on the CGI reading success rate.
This success rate is even lower for VoLTE services, which are scheduled at a fixed
interval and encounter a higher probability that the sleep time stops. After a CGI is
acquired, the identified cell is automatically configured as a neighboring cell.
NOTE
Event-triggered ANR can be triggered by coverage-based measurements for handover or user-number-

based measurements for MLB. If coverage-based measurement for handover is enabled, gap-assisted
measurement is started even for voice users to avoid call drops. If user-number-based measurement for
MLB is enabled, MLB does not select voice users for load balancing.
When VoLTE is deployed, it is recommended that GlobalProcSwitch.VoipWithGapMode be set to
DISABLE to ensure the quality of voice services.
PCI Collision Detection and Self-Optimization

After the LOFD-002007 PCI Collision Detection & Self-Optimization feature and ANR-
based proactive PCI conflict detection are enabled, the eNodeB selects UEs without CQI 1
bearers for proactive PCI conflict detection. In addition, the eNodeB sends A3 and A4

eRAN
measurement configurations to the selected UEs, instructing the UEs to measure their serving
frequencies and neighboring E-UTRAN frequencies. For UEs that are already selected, the
eNodeB uses a measurement control policy depending on the value of the
GlobalProcSwitch.VoipWithGapMode parameter:
l When this parameter is set to ENABLE, the eNodeB does not delete the measurements
of the UE if the bearer of QCI of 1 is set up for the UE. However, continuous
measurement gaps may affect the voice quality of services with a QCI of 1.
l When this parameter is set to DISABLE, the eNodeB sends the RRC Reconfiguration
message to delete the measurement configuration if the UE sets up a bearer with a QCI
of 1.
NOTE

Carrier Aggregation
l If voice services are initiated for carrier aggregation (CA) UEs, voice services can be
scheduled only on PCells.
l If the SccBlindCfgSwitch of the eNodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is turned
off, UEs that have originated voice services are not selected for CA.
l If the SccBlindCfgSwitch of the eNodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is turned
on, UEs that have originated voice services can be selected for CA.
Periodic Measurement Reporting and GSM and LTE Buffer Zone Optimization
For periodic measurement reporting or GSM and LTE buffer zone optimization, the eNodeB
selects UEs for measurement based on the GlobalProcSwitch.VoipWithGapMode parameter
setting:
l When this parameter is set to ENABLE:

The eNodeB randomly selects UEs. When a UE performing voice services is selected,
continuous measurement gaps may affect the voice quality of the UE.
l When this parameter is set to DISABLE: If the UE has already initiated voice services,
the eNodeB does not select the UE for periodic inter-frequency or inter-RAT
measurement.
The UE is selected for measurement decision until the UE releases voice services
and is selected for the second time.
If the UE is not performing voice services, the eNodeB sends periodic inter-
frequency or inter-RAT measurement to the UE. If the UE initiates voice services
later, the eNodeB updates configurations to delete existing periodic inter-frequency
or inter-RAT measurement of the UE. The UE is selected for measurement decision
until the UE releases voice services and is selected for the second time.
NOTE

DL Non-GBR Packet Bundling

After the LOFD-001109 DL Non-GBR Packet Bundling feature is enabled, the scheduling
priority of voice services is no longer the highest priority. This feature is not recommended
for VoLTE when there are many voice users because this feature may slightly affect voice
quality.

problem, closed-loop power control can be enabled to adjust UE transmit power for the
PUSCH.

If the value of the DrxParaGroup.LongDrxCycle parameter for QCI of 1 is set to a
value greater than the semi-persistent scheduling period (20 ms), the eNodeB does not
activate downlink semi-persistent scheduling.
l LOFD-001036 RAN Sharing with Common Carrier
Voice services have a high scheduling priority and are sensitive to scheduling delays.
Therefore, uplink and downlink semi-persistent scheduling does not consider the
configured proportions of PRBs that can be allocated to different operators.

l LBFD-002017 DRX and LOFD-001105 Dynamic DRX
If a UE is in the TTI bundling state, the eNodeB instructs the UE to enter DRX
mode only when the UE needs to perform ANR measurement.
If a UE is in DRX mode, the eNodeB instructs the UE to exit DRX mode after
activating TTI bundling. An exception is that if the UE is performing ANR
measurement in DRX mode, the eNodeB does not instruct the UE to exit DRX
mode.
l LAOFD-001001 LTE-A Introduction
According to 3GPP TS 36.331, TTI bundling cannot be configured if a CA UE performs
data transmission in the uplink. After a CA UE enters the TTI bundling state, the
secondary serving cell (SCell) of this UE will be automatically deleted and CA is no
longer activated for UEs that are already in the TTI bundling state.
Uplink RLC segmentation enhancement and TTI bundling can be enabled for the
same cell at the same time.
Uplink RLC segmentation enhancement and TTI bundling cannot take effect for the
same UE at the same time.
l LOFD-001007 High Speed Mobility and LOFD-001008 Ultra High Speed Mobility
To instruct UEs to enter or exit the TTI bundling state, the eNodeB needs to send RRC
Connection Reconfiguration messages. When UEs are moving at high or ultra high
speed, their channel conditions change rapidly. As a result, the UEs frequently enter and
exit the TTI bundling state, which increases signaling load on the Uu interface, degrades
voice quality, and increase the probability of service drops. Therefore, TTI bundling is
not recommended in high- or ultra-high-movement scenarios.

VoLTE-related Feature Description
LBFD-002017 DRX The following are the relationships between DRX and TTI
bundling and between DRX and scheduling:
l If a UE is in the TTI bundling state, the eNodeB instructs
the UE to enter DRX mode only when the UE needs to
perform ANR measurement.
l If a UE is in DRX mode, the eNodeB instructs the UE to
exit DRX mode after activating TTI bundling. An
exception is that if the UE is performing ANR
measurement in DRX mode, the eNodeB does not
instruct the UE to exit DRX mode.
l When the long DRX cycle for QCI 1 is greater than the
semi-persistent scheduling interval (for example, always
20 ms for FDD), downlink semi-persistent scheduling
does not take effect.
l After DRX is enabled, preallocation does not take effect.
Preallocation decreases the probability of PDCCH false
detection, which may cause packet loss, and therefore
improves voice quality.

This chapter describes the impact of the VoIP-related features on the network.

eRAN
7.1 LOFD-001016 VoIP Semi-persistent Scheduling

System Capacity
After semi-persistent scheduling is enabled, PDCCH resources do not hinder voice service
capacity because PDCCH resources are consumed only when semi-persistent scheduling is
initially activated or reactivated or when semi-persistently allocated resources are released.
Compared with dynamic scheduling, enabling semi-persistent scheduling increases the
number of supported voice service users by more than 30% in simulation case 1, according to
the simulation conditions and capacity evaluation method specified in an appendix of 3GPP
TS 36.814.
During semi-persistent scheduling, the MCS index cannot exceed 15. This restriction may
increase the number of RBs allocated to semi-persistently scheduled users near the cell center.
For example, when the coding rate is 23.85 kbit/s (without considering ROHC) and the MCS
index for voice users near the cell center is 26, two RBs are required in the uplink and one RB
in the downlink (dual-stream mode) when dynamic scheduling is enabled. Under the same
condition, semi-persistent scheduling requires three RBs in both the uplink and downlink due
to the MCS index restriction (the largest MCS index is 15). That is, compared with dynamic
scheduling, semi-persistent scheduling for voice users near the cell center consumes more RB
resources. Therefore, the amount of RB resource for data services decreases (compared with
that when semi-persistent scheduling is disabled), and the throughput of data services may
also decrease.
After downlink semi-persistent scheduling is enabled and voice services are set up, the
eNodeB reserves HARQ processes for downlink semi-persistent scheduling. Before the next
initial transmission in semi-persistent scheduling, the HARQ processes for downlink semi-
persistent scheduling may not be released. As a result, periodic data for semi-persistent
scheduling cannot be sent. The HARQ processes are reserved to avoid such situation. The
HARQ processes reserved for downlink semi-persistent scheduling cannot be used for
dynamic scheduling for other service type of the UE, such as data service. In combined
services where voice and data services coexist, the HARQ processes that can be used by data
services therefore decrease. Compared with the scenario where dynamic scheduling is used by
both voice and data services, the use of downlink semi-persistent scheduling for voice
services affects the throughput of data services, specifically, when the volume of the data
services is large (such as when full buffer service is performed). When there are multiple
users or a small amount of data volume, the impact of reserving HARQ processes is small
because the scheduling chances for UEs are discretely distributed or a few HARQ processes
are required for data services.
Network Performance
Fixed-position resource allocation is adopted after semi-persistent scheduling is activated.
Compared with dynamic scheduling, semi-persistent scheduling may increase the scheduling
wait time.

System Capacity
No impact.

eRAN
Network Performance
LOFD-001048 TTI bundling increases the cell edge coverage of PUSCH, improves MCS in
uplink weak-coverage areas, and reduces the packet loss rate. However, this feature increases
signaling overheads because the entry and exit of the TTI bundling state requires the
exchange of RRC messages. When the number of TTI bundling mode reconfiguration
messages (indicated by the counters L.Signal.Num.TtiBundling.Enter and
L.Signal.Num.TtiBundling.Exit) increases, the average board CPU usage (indicated by the
counter VS.BBUBoard.CPULoad.Mean (%)) slightly increases.
As defined in 3GPP protocols, TTI bundling uses a maximum of three PRBs and adopts
QPSK with the highest MCS order of 10. That is, after TTI bundling is enabled, the maximum
number of TBS that can be transmitted is 504 bits. This restricts the uplink throughput of TTI
bundling. The logical channel priority of signaling and voice services is higher than that of
data services, which means that UEs preferentially send signaling and voice services. As a
result, the uplink throughput of data services is further restricted.
7.3 Uplink RLC Segmentation Enhancement

System Capacity
No impact.
Network Performance
Uplink RLC segmentation enhancement can increase the mean opinion score (MOS)of
VoLTE users when the users are in a weak coverage area but not in the TTI bundling state.
However, uplink RLC segmentation enhancement raises the uplink MCS, IBLER and residual
BLER (RBLER).
7.4 LOFD-081229 Voice Characteristic Awareness

Scheduling
System Capacity
No impact.
Network Performance
Uplink VoLTE volume estimation for dynamic scheduling can shorten voice service delays,
reduce the uplink packet loss rate, and improve voice quality when a cell is heavily loaded
and DRX is enabled. However, this function increases RB overheads and lowers MCS
indexes allocated to voice users; when there are many voice users, this function also reduces
cell throughput.
Uplink delay-based dynamic scheduling can be used in heavy traffic scenarios to improve
voice quality in weak-coverage areas. However, this function prolongs SR-based scheduling,
which further:
l Prolongs processing time such as E-RAB setup time, RRC connection setup time, ping
delay, time of transition from idle mode to connected mode, and attach delay.

eRAN
l Slightly decreases cell throughput.

Independent configuration for voice inactivity timer has the following impacts on network
performance:
l If the value of the RrcConnStateTimer.UeInactiveTimerQci1 parameter is smaller than
that of the RrcConnStateTimer.UeInactiveTimer parameter, the online duration of
voice service UEs becomes short and voice service drop rate decreases when there is no
data transmission in the uplink and downlink while waiting for the callee to answer the
call.
l If the value of the RrcConnStateTimer.UeInactiveTimerQci1 parameter is greater than
that of the RrcConnStateTimer.UeInactiveTimer parameter, the online duration of
voice service UEs becomes long, RRC connection request number decreases, number of
normal releases decreases, and voice service drop rate increases.
7.5 LBFD-081104 UL Compensation Scheduling

System Capacity
No impact.
Network Performance
Uplink compensation scheduling can reduce the rate of uplink packet losses in heavy traffic
scenarios, shorten voice packet delays, and improve voice quality. However, this feature
increases RB and CCE overheads; when there are many voice users, this feature also reduces
cell throughput.
In addition, uplink compensation scheduling decreases the possibility that uplink control
information of voice users is transmitted over PUCCH and increases the possibility that
uplink control information of voice users is transmitted over PUSCH. This affects the
possibility that PDSCH ACK/NACK is detected as DTX and slightly increases VoLTE
downlink packet loss rate (indicated by L.Traffic.DL.PktUuLoss.Loss.QCI.1/
L.Traffic.DL.PktUuLoss.Tot.QCI.1).
7.6 LBFD-081105 Voice-Specific AMC

System Capacity
No impact.
Network Performance
l This feature affects voice quality in the following aspects:
If the CellUlschAlgo.SinrAdjTargetIblerforVoLTE parameter is set to a smaller
value, the MCS indexes selected for uplink voice services are smaller. For voice
users in the cell center, the uplink QCI 1 packet loss rate may slightly decrease and
voice quality almost remains unchanged. For voice users not in the cell center, the
number of uplink RLC segments increases and the uplink QCI 1 packet loss rate
may increase in the case of heavy load; as a result, voice quality becomes worse and
voice capacity decreases.

eRAN
If the CellUlschAlgo.SinrAdjTargetIblerforVoLTE parameter is set to a larger

value, the MCS indexes selected for uplink voice services are larger. In the uplink,
the IBLER, RBLER, and QCI 1 packet loss rate increases, and voice quality
becomes worse. In the downlink, the QCI 1 packet loss rate also increases and voice
quality also becomes worse because the demodulation performance deteriorates for
ACKs/NACKs and channel status information transmitted on the PUSCH.
l This feature may also affect cell throughput and data service throughput.
If the CellUlschAlgo.SinrAdjTargetIblerforVoLTE parameter is set to a smaller value,
the MCS indexes selected for uplink voice services are smaller and the number of
consumed RBs increases. When there are many voice users, cell throughput decreases.

with standardized QCIs. Table 8-1 lists the QoS requirements of QCI 1 services.

l The preceding Packet Delay Budget indicates the threshold delay between UE and PDN
gateway (P-GW). The corresponding user satisfaction rate is 98%.
l The preceding Packet Error Loss Rate indicates the threshold proportion of SDUs that
are not successfully sent from the data link layer of the transmission end to the
corresponding upper layer of the receive end.
The packet delay budget, uplink and downlink Uu interface packet loss rate, and downlink
PDCP packet loss rates of QCI 1 services can be measured using counters. For details about
related counters, see 9.2.4.2 Voice QoS.
8.2 Quality Evaluation

The mean opinion score (MOS) is an important indicator for evaluating voice quality. MOS-
based evaluation involves subjective evaluation, objective evaluation, and measurement-based
evaluation.
8.2.1 Subjective Evaluation

MOS is a subjective measurement where listeners perceive raw speech materials and
processed degraded speech materials and then score speech quality.

8.2.2 Objective Evaluation

Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ), defined in ITU-T P862, is a mainstream
method of objectively evaluating AMR-NB speech quality. Perceptual Objective Listening
Quality Assessment (POLQA), defined in ITU-T P863, is the evolution of PESQ; POLQA
supports wider sampling scope and provides more accurate evaluation of AMR-WB or AMR-
NB speech quality. PESQ and POLQA are based on special tools, for example, Digital Speech
Level Analyzer (DSLA).
Objective evaluation is commonly used by operators to evaluate speech quality. However, it

requires the collaboration of drive tests. As it cannot monitor speech quality in real time, it is
generally used for tests in labs, network entry tests, and third-party evaluation of network
quality.
8.2.3 Measurement-based Evaluation
Overview
Using the third-party's drive test tools to evaluate speech quality is time and cost consuming
and cannot monitor speech quality in real time. Therefore, it is important for vendors to
develop their own measurement-based evaluation methods. Huawei uses a Voice Quality
Monitoring (VQM) algorithm to calculate the MOS scores of uplink and downlink voice
services on the Uu interface.
VQM is mainly used for network monitoring, network optimization, VIP guarantee, and user
complaint handling. VQM reduces the necessity of drive tests required for obtaining voice
quality.
VQM applies only to the AMR speech codec scenario. VQM is controlled by the
EnodebAlgoSwitch.VQMAlgoSwitch parameter, which is turned off by default. After this
parameter is turned on, the eNodeB automatically identifies whether the eNodeB supports
AMR speech codec. The eNodeB calculates only the MOS of voice services that use the
AMR speech codec scheme.

eRAN
VQM Principles
Figure 8-1 shows the VQM implementation process.
Figure 8-1 VQM implementation process
1. The eNodeB monitors counters for voice packets of QCI of 1, including the frame error
rate (FER) on the Uu interface, long frame error rate (LFER), and handover state. When
detecting that the delay variation for voice packets of QCI of 1 exceeds the
VQMALGO.ULDelayJitter parameter value, the eNodeB determines that a packet loss
occurs.
2. Then, the eNodeB inputs the monitoring results to the Huawei proprietary voice quality
indicator (VQI) model and estimates the MOS scores of uplink and downlink voice
services on the Uu interface at intervals of 2.5 seconds. The VQI model is based on the
algorithms specified in ITU-T P.863 and simulates an MOS score using mathematical
formulas.
The eNodeB separately simulates the MOS scores of uplink and downlink voice
packets.
The eNodeB separately simulates the MOS scores of voice packets coded at
different rates.
3. The MOS scores are saved in call history records (CHRs) and are used to collect the
statistics of cell-level voice quality counters and monitor user-level performance.
NOTE
The voice quality monitoring results including statistics about cell-level voice quality counters and
user-level performance monitoring results as well as CHRs do not include user privacy
information.

eRAN
Voice Quality Evaluation

The eNodeB evaluates voice quality based on the MOS provided by the VQM and voice
quality thresholds. In addition, the eNodeB collects the statistics of counters related to voice
quality, as listed in Table 8-3.
Table 8-3 Voice quality evaluation rules and related counters

9-12.
Application Limitations
AMR coding rate is an important input for the VQI model. Currently, the VQM algorithm
cannot monitor the AMR coding rate in real time. If the AMR coding rate changed, the output
of the VQI model would be inaccurate. Up to now, it has not been found that the AMR coding
rate changes in any scenario.
In the following scenarios, the eNodeB cannot determine the AMR coding rate and therefore
does not use the VQI model.
l One RTP packet carries multiple AMR speech frames.

l One RTP packet carries multiple speech frames that are coded at different rates.
The IP headers need to be removed when the eNodeB identifies the coding rate. The IP
header length is different after the encryption. The IP header of a voice packet may
include an Authentication Header (AH) or (Encapsulation Security Payload (ESP) header
for encryption. The length of AHs is not fixed, and the latter part of ESP headers is
encrypted, and the latter part of ESP headers is encrypted.
8.3 Capacity Evaluation

The voice service capacity can be evaluated based on the number of users performing QCI 1
services. The related counters are listed below and described in 9.2.4.4 Voice Capacity.

9.2 Basic Functions
9.2.1 When to Use Basic Functions

Users can determine whether to deploy IMS-based VoLTE services depending on whether
IMS is deployed, transmission delay, and voice service policies.
The E-UTRAN supports VoLTE after the IMS is deployed. However, VoLTE is not used in
the following scenarios because IMS-based VoLTE is not appropriate for these scenarios:
l Transmission delay is large.
l Voice services are not allowed on certain frequency bands.
You can turn off the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch if the eNodeB works in
the preceding scenarios. Turning off this switch prevents UEs from initiating voice services
and prevents UEs performing voice services from handing over to the eNodeB. For details,
see 3.2.2 VoLTE-Prohibited Scenario.
NOTE
After the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch is turned off, you also need to disable VoLTE
in the corresponding tracking areas on the MME.
In other scenarios, turn on the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch switch so that

the eNodeB supports IMS-based voice services.
In scenarios where E-UTRAN coverage is discontinuous, it is recommended that the SRVCC
function be enabled.
If the MME supports the UE Radio Capability Match REQUEST and UE Radio Capability
Match RESPONSE messages introduced in 3GPP Release 11, it is recommended that the
SupportS1UeCapMatchMsg option of the GlobalProcSwitch.ProtocolSupportSwitch

eRAN
parameter be selected on the eNodeB side. By doing this, the MME considers the VoLTE
mobility capability of the UE during the voice policy negotiation. In this manner, UEs that do
not support SRVCC do not adopt VoLTE as the voice policy, thereby ensuring voice
continuity.
It is recommended that the VQM function be enabled to monitor voice quality.
9.2.2 Required Information

None
9.2.3 Deployment
Operating Environment
l UEs must support VoLTE, and the EPC must support IMS.
l Operators have deployed the IMS.
Transmission Networking
VoLTE services have high requirements on end-to-end real-time delay. For example, when the
transmission delay between the eNodeB and EPC exceeds 20 ms, VoLTE is not appropriate
for the eNodeB.
For the requirements on transmission delay and jitter on S1 and X2 interfaces, see IP eRAN
Engineering Guide Feature Parameter Description.

If voice services cannot get through after VoLTE is deployed, troubleshoot as follows:
1. Check whether the RRC connection procedure is normal.
2. Check whether the attach procedure is normal.
3. Check whether VoLTE is normally registered in the IMS.
4. Check whether the VoLTE call request procedure is normal.
If the results of steps 1 and 2 are abnormal, the problem is caused by the eRAN instead of
VoLTE. In this case, contact Huawei technical support.
If the results of steps 3 and 4 are abnormal, check for parameter settings on the eRAN side.
Specifically, check the following key parameters:
Whether RLCPDCPPARAGROUP.DiscardTimer is set to DiscardTimer_Infinity and
eNodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch is set to ON.
l If the parameter settings are incorrect, modify the parameter settings and perform the

9.3 Semi-Persistent Scheduling
9.3.1 When to Use Semi-Persistent Scheduling and Deploy Power

Control
Semi-Persistent Scheduling
This feature is recommended to save cell CCE resources when the number of simultaneously
active subscribers is greater than or equal to 10 and the PDCCH CCE usage exceeds 70%.

eRAN
Semi-persistent scheduling uses fixed MCS and PRBs to transmit data during talk spurts
instead of updating MCS and PRBs at each TTI. This brings gains and reduces required
PDCCH resources. Therefore, semi-persistent scheduling is recommended in scenarios with
low-speed or where channel conditions change slowly. In high-speed or ultra-high speed cells,
UEs move fast and channel conditions change significantly. Therefore, semi-persistent
scheduling is not recommended in such scenarios.
Cells working at a bandwidth of 1.4 MHz have only six PRBs. When the UE uses semi-
persistent scheduling, the highest MCS index is only 15. This means that cell center users
(CCUs) and users near the cell center consume more PRBs, which wastes PRB resources.
Therefore, uplink and downlink semi-persistent scheduling and power control in uplink and
downlink semi-persistent scheduling are not recommended in cells working at a bandwidth of
1.4 MHz.
Power Control in Semi-Persistent Scheduling

When uplink semi-persistent scheduling is enabled, power control for uplink semi-persistent
scheduling must be enabled so that uplink IBLER converges on the target value.
The PDSCH transmit power is evenly allocated among RBs. Adjusting the PDSCH transmit
power only when performing VoIP service cannot bring gains. Therefore, it is recommended
that power control in downlink semi-persistent scheduling be disabled. When this type of
power control is disabled, fixed PDSCH power allocation is used for UEs that are scheduled
in a semi-persistent manner.

9.3.3 Deployment of Semi-Persistent Scheduling

The RRC Connection Reconfiguration message instructs UEs to enter or exit the TTI
bundling state. UE channel conditions change significantly in high speed or ultra high speed
scenarios. As a result, UEs frequently enter and exit the TTI bundling state, thereby increasing
signaling load on the Uu interface, degrading voice quality, and increasing the risk of call
drops. Therefore, it is recommended that TTI bundling be disabled in high speed or ultra high
speed cells.
Cells working at a bandwidth of 1.4 MHz have only six PRBs. TTI bundling consumes
resources in the time domain. Therefore, it is recommended that TTI bundling be disabled in
cells working at a bandwidth of 1.4 MHz.

9.4.3 Deployment of TTI Bundling
UEs must support VoLTE and TTI bundling, and the EPC must support IMS-based voice

Run the MOD CELLULSCHALGO command with the Uplink Voip Rlc Maximum
Segmentation Number parameter set to the recommended value of the corresponding RAT.

MOD CELLULSCHALGO: LocalCellId=0, UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum=20;

After uplink RLC segmentation enhancement is activated with the Uplink Voip Rlc
Maximum Segmentation Number parameter set to a non-zero value, the MCS index should
be increased for a UE at the cell edge to control the number of uplink RLC segments. To
verify this, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Run the LST CELLULSCHALGO command to check whether the Uplink Voip Rlc
Maximum Segmentation Number parameter is set to 0. If it is set to 0, go to Step 2. If it is
set to a non-zero value, run the following command to change it to 0 (x represents the local
cell ID):

eRAN
Step 2 Use a UE that does not support TTI bundling to access the cell. Initiate a UL VoLTE service
on the UE.
1. Choose Monitor > Signaling Trace > Signaling Trace Management.
2. In the left navigation tree in the Signaling Trace Management tab page, choose User
Performance Monitoring > MCS Count Monitoring. Set the monitoring duration and
to-be-traced MMEc (MME ID), and mTMSI (UE TMSI).
3. Observe MCS-specific uplink scheduling statistics, including the number of scheduling
times and the number of RBs. Move the UE to the cell edge, where channel quality is
poor. That is, move the UE until the monitoring result indicates that the MCS with an
index of 0 is selected and a maximum of three RBs are allocated by uplink scheduling of
the UE.
Step 4 Run the MOD CELLULSCHALGO command with the Uplink Voip Rlc Maximum
Segmentation Number parameter set to a non-zero value.
NOTE
To ensure satisfactory voice quality, you are advised to set the Uplink Voip Rlc Maximum
Segmentation Number parameter to its recommended value. However, to facilitate this verification,
you can set this parameter to a smaller non-zero value so that the selected MCS index increases
noticeably.
Step 5 On the U2000 client, observe the MCS-specific uplink scheduling statistics. If the MCS index
is greater than 0 but the number of RBs is still less than or equal to 3, the eNodeB has
increased the MCS index to restrict the number of uplink RLC segments. (The smaller the
value of CellAlgoSwitch.UlVoipRlcMaxSegNum, the larger the MCS index.)
Step 6 On a live network, you can also check the packet loss rate of uplink voice services and the
proportion of uplink low-order MCSs for the PUSCH (for example, MCS index 0 or 1). If
both of them decrease, RLC segmentation enhancement has taken effect.

MIMO level smart preallocation do not apply to UEs with the
AMC QCI.
UlVmimoSwitch: Indicates whether to enable multi-
user MIMO (MU-MIMO) in the UL. If this switch is
on, the eNodeB performs MU-MIMO pairing among
UEs based on related principles. UEs forming a pair
transmit data using the same time-frequency
resources, which improves system throughput and
spectral efficiency.
TtiBundlingSwitch: Indicates whether to enable
transmission time interval (TTI) bundling. If TTI
bundling is enabled, more transmission opportunities
are available to UEs within the delay budget for VoIP

eRAN

nd
services on the Uu interface, thereby improving uplink

coverage.
ImIcSwitch: Indicates whether to enable the
intermodulation interference (IM) cancellation for
UEs. When data is transmitted in both uplink and
downlink, two IM components are generated
symmetrically beside the Direct Current (DC)
subcarrier on the downlink receive channel due to
interference from uplink radio signals. If this switch is

PuschDtxSwitch: Indicates whether the eNodeB uses
the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)
discontinuous transmission (DTX) detection result
during UL scheduling. In an LTE FDD cell, if this
switch is on, based on the PUSCH DTX detection
result, the eNodeB determines whether to perform
adaptive retransmission during UL scheduling and
also adjusts the control channel element (CCE)
aggregation level of the physical downlink control
channel (PDCCH) carrying downlink control
information (DCI) format 0. If an FDD cell is
established on an LBBPc, this switch takes effect only
when the cell uses less than four RX antennas and
normal cyclic prefix (CP) in the uplink and the
SrsCfgInd parameter in the SRSCfg MO is set to
BOOLEAN_TRUE. Note that the LBBPc does not
support PUSCH DTX detection for UEs with MU-
MIMO applied. In an LTE TDD cell, this switch takes
effect only when the cell is configured with subframe
configuration 2 or 5. After this switch takes effect, the
eNodeB adjusts the CCE aggregation level based on
the PUSCH DTX detection results. Note that LTE
TDD cells established on LBBPc boards do not
support PUSCH DTX detection.
UlIblerAdjustSwitch: Indicates whether to enable the

attributes and resource scheduling coordination,
thereby increasing the cell edge throughput. This
switch applies only to LTE TDD networks.
UlEnhancedSrSchSwitch: Indicates whether uplink re-
scheduling is performed only when the On Duration
timer for the DRX long cycle starts. Uplink re-
scheduling is required if the number of HARQ
retransmissions for a scheduling request (SR) reaches
the maximum value but the scheduling still fails. If
this switch is on, uplink re-scheduling is performed
only when the On Duration timer for the DRX long
cycle starts. If this switch is off, uplink re-scheduling
is performed immediately when the number of HARQ
retransmissions for SR reaches the maximum value
but the scheduling still fails. It is recommended that
the switch be turned on in live networks.
SchedulerCtrlPowerSwitch: Indicates whether the
uplink scheduler performs scheduling without
considering power control restrictions. If this switch is
on, the uplink scheduler performs scheduling without
considering power control restrictions, which ensures
full utilization of the transmit power for all UEs. If
this switch is off, the uplink scheduler considers
power control restrictions while performing
scheduling, which prevents full utilization of the
transmit power for UEs at far or medium distances
from the cell center.
UlMinGbrSwitch: Indicates whether to enable uplink
minimum guaranteed bit rate (GBR). If this switch is

on, the eNodeB prioritizes UEs based on the AMBRs
during uplink scheduling. This parameter applies only
to LTE TDD cells.
UlEnhancedDopplerSwitch: Indicates whether to
enable enhanced uplink scheduling based on mobility
speed. If this switch is on, enhanced uplink scheduling
based on mobility speed is enabled. If this switch is
on, the eNodeB determines whether a UE is a low-
mobility UE based on the Doppler measurement in the
physical layer, and then improves uplink frequency
selective scheduling performance for low-mobility
UEs. If this switch is off, enhanced uplink scheduling
based on mobility speed is disabled. This switch takes

scheduled. If this switch is off, the optimization is
disabled.
PuschUsePucchRbSwitch: Indicates whether PUCCH
RBs can be occupied by the PUSCH. In scenarios
with a single user, if this switch is on, PUCCH RBs
can be occupied by the PUSCH. If this switch is off,
PUCCH RBs cannot be occupied by the PUSCH. In
scenarios with multiple users, PUCCH RBs cannot be
occupied by the PUSCH no matter whether this switch
is on or off.
PuschDtxSchOptSwitch: If this switch is on, the
eNodeB determines whether to perform adaptive
retransmission during UL scheduling based on the
PUSCH DTX detection result. This switch takes effect
only when subframe configuration 2 or 5 is used. If a
TDD cell is established on an LBBPc, PUSCH DTX
detection is not supported. This switch applies only to

activated if the bit rate has not reached the GBR or the
aggregate bit rate of the UE has not reached the
AMBR. If this switch is Off, neither the bit rate of the
bearer nor the aggregate bit rate of the CA UE is
checked when an SCell is to be activated.
MtaAlgSwitch: Indicates whether multiple timing
advances (MTAs) are supported in uplink CA
scenarios. This parameter applies only to LTE FDD. If
this switch is On, MTAs are supported. If the reported
UE capabilities indicate that the UE supports MTAs in
the uplink, uplink timing is performed on the UE
based on multiple timing advance groups (TAGs) in
uplink CA scenarios. If the UE does not support
MTAs in the uplink, uplink timing is performed on the
UE based on a single TAG in uplink CA scenarios. If
this switch is Off, MTAs are not supported in uplink
CA scenarios, and uplink timing is performed on UEs
based on a single TAG. You are advised to set this
switch to On in inter-eNodeB CA scenarios and
scenarios where RRUs are installed remotely.
RelaxedBackhaulCaSwitch: Indicates whether to
enable inter-eNodeB downlink CA based on relaxed
backhaul. Inter-eNodeB CA based on relaxed
backhaul is enabled only when this switch is On.
AdpCaSwitch: Indicates whether to allow adaptive
frequency-based CA configuration. If this switch is
On, in frequency-based configuration mode, the
eNodeB can configure SCells in a blind manner based
on preconfigured CA group information. If this switch
is Off, blind SCell configuration is not allowed in
frequency-based CA configuration mode.
CaHoControlSwitch: Indicates whether CA UEs can
be handed over to non-macro cells during unnecessary
intra-RAT handovers. If this switch is On, CA UEs

the SCell only when this switch is On.
IdleModePccAnchorSwitch: Indicates whether to

enable the anchor function of the primary component
carrier (PCC) for UEs in idle mode. If this option is
selected, this function is enabled. If this option is
deselected, this function is disabled.
FreqPriBasedHoCaFiltSwitch: Indicates whether the

eNodeB filters out CA UEs when delivering
measurement configuration for frequency-priority-
based handovers. CA UEs are filtered out only if this
option is selected.
CaSccSuspendSwitch: Indicates whether the eNodeB

stops scheduling carrier aggregation (CA) UEs in their
secondary serving cells (SCells) when the channel
quality for the CA UEs is poor. If this option is
selected, the eNodeB stops scheduling CA UEs when
the channel quality for the CA UEs is worse than that
indicated by the SccDeactCqiThd parameter value in
