Function Description
General Introduction
The challenge that the LTE mobile communication system is facing is the inter-cell
interference from same frequency network. On the one hand, the users of different
cell on cell edges may interfere with each other. On the other, the throughput of
users on cell edges determines the throughput of the entire network and the user
experience. Therefore, how to improve the QoS for users on cell edges without
more frequency resources is a problem that troubles all operators and
manufacturers.
ZTE's Cloud Radio solution covers a series of products and solution that provide
optimal wireless performance for various transmission scenarios (the transmission
resources available to a carrier). With the exchanging of coordinate information
between cells or between base stations, the interference of neighboring cells can
be mitigated or avoided, and the throughput and the user experience of users on
cell edge can be improved.
One of the key technologies used by the Cloud Radio solution is Coordinated
Multipoint transmission/reception (CoMP). This technology is used for processing
interference between cells or between base stations to improve UEs SINR and
throughput at the cell edge.
CoMP is the application of the Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology in
multiple cells. By cooperating between cells, it avoids or mitigates the inter-cell
interference. From the perspective of interference processing, CoMP has two
policies. One is called Coordinate Schedule/Beamforming (CS/CB). This policy
separates signals main lobe to different directions by precoding them on the BS
through CB, or ensures that users in the same direction and frequency are not
scheduled at the same time through CS. In this way, co-channel interference of the
same frequency shared between cells is avoided or mitigated, thereby
guaranteeing the QoS link of users and improving the demodulation performance.
The second policy is called Joint Reception (JR). This policy may get power and
diversity gain by combining signals from cooperation cell in the serving cell. It
improves the signal-to-noise ratio to guarantee the demodulation performance.
Figure 2-2 CoMP Policies
COMP is an implementation solution and it does not have influence on air interface
protocols, and it has no special requirements for terminals. Therefore, it is
completely compatible with terminals of R8 or below R8. From the perspective of
terminal, it does not know the eNodeB uses COMP solution.

Basic Principle
CoMP (Coordinated Multipoints) transmission/reception technology is mainly used
to avoid interference or convert interfering signals into useful signals by
interference coordination between different cells or base stations.
The CoMP function is scheduled on the eNodeB side and is irrelevant to the UE
type. The UE cannot know whether or not it enters a CoMP scheduling procedure.
The downlink CoMP and uplink CoMP use totally different scheduling technologies.
The technical principles are respectively described as follows.
3.2.1
Downlink CoMP
The DL CoMP uses multipoint joint transmission technology, which means that
downlink data is jointly transmitted among multiple cells or eNodeBs so as to
decrease the interference and improve the channel quality of cell edge users, and
increase the downlink throughput in cell edges. The DL CoMP demonstrates the
application of the MIMO technology in multiple cells.
The DL CoMP has multiple implementation policies, for example, Joint
Transmission (JT), Coordinate Schedule (CS), Coordinate Beamforming (CB) and
NUll Forming (NF). This document only describes the Coordinate Schedule (CS)
policy.
3.2.1.1
DL CoMP CS
The DL CoMP CS refers to the coordinated scheduling between coordinated cells
to avoid interference from each other. The CS requests the local cell to notify the
neighbor cell not to send any data on the same time-frequency resource to totally
avoid interference through the XC interface when the local cell schedules a certain
time-frequency resource for the UE at the cell edge.
For the principle of the DL CoMP CS is shown in the following figure
1.
Cell 1 and Cell 2 are two coordinated cells of Cloud Radio, and UE1 and UE2 are in the
overlapped coverage of these two cells. UE1 is the cell edge user who initiates a call and
camps on Cell 1, and UE2 is the cell edge user who initiates a call and camps on Cell 2.
2.
At the specified TTI (Transmission Time Interval) n hour, Cell1 allocates frequency-domain
RB resources (highlighted in blue) to UE1, and informs coordinated Cell2 through the XC
interface. Cell2 keeps the frequency-domain RB resources idle instead of allocating them
to other UEs. There is no overlapped RB resource in these two cells, thus decreasing intrainterference of UE1.
3.
Similarly, at the specified TTI (Transmission Time Interval) n+1 hour, Cell2 allocates
frequency-domain RB resources (highlighted in red) to UE2, and informs coordinated Cell1
through the XC interface. Cell1 keeps the frequency-domain RB resources idle instead of
allocating them to other UEs. There is no overlapped RB resource in these two cells, thus
decreasing intra-interference of UE2.
Uplink CoMP
Joint Reception (JR) based UL CoMP receives and processes the signals of a
user from multiple coordinated cells to obtain the diversity processing gain and
power gain to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the received signals and the
demodulation capability of the base station and improve uplink throughput of cell
edge users.
Figure 3-2 UL CoMP JR
1.
Cell 1 and Cell 2 are two coordinated cells of Cloud Radio. UE1 accesses serving cell Cell1
and camps on the overlapped areas of Cell1 and Cell2.
3.3
3.3.1
2.
Cell1 and Cell2 receive and pre-process the uplink signals of UE1 respectively
3.
The coordinated cells send the processed signals to the serving cell through the XC
interface. The serving cell jointly processes and combines the received signals to acquire
diversity reception gains.
4.
Through RX diversity, the uplink SINR is improved and the uplink throughput is increased.
CoMP Categories
DL CoMP/UL CoMP
CoMP can be divided into DL CoMP and UL CoMP as shown below:
Figure 3-3 CoMP category
Inter-eNodeB CoMP: Two CoMP cells are distributed in the different BBU cabinets.
Figure 3-4 CoMP category (based on cell distribution)
1.
When Cell1, Cell2 and Cell3 are configured to coordinated cells, they can form intra-board
CoMP.
2.
When Cell1 and Cell4 are configured to coordinated cells, they can form inter-board CoMP.
3.
When Cell1 and Cell7 are configured to coordinated cells, they can form inter-eNodeB
CoMP
3.3.3
The coordinated cells of CoMP need to exchange information with each other. For interboard and inter-eNodeB CoMPs, CR0 board is required to exchange information between
the coordinated cells.
Clock Synchronization
When inter-eNodeB CoMP is configured, all CoMP eNodeBs should be clock
synchronized. The GPS phrase synchronization or 1588+ Ethernet phase
synchronization should be used. Ethernet frequency synchronization cannot be
used independently because frequency synchronization cannot satisfy the CoMP
clock requirement.
3.3.3.2
Transmission Delay
Transmission delay refers to the one-way directional transmission delay from one
eNodeB to another. The maximum transmission delay for DL CoMP and UL CoMP
coordinated cells are listed in the following table:
Table 3-2 Transmission Delay for Different CoMP Types
CoMP Types
Transmission Delay
DL CoMP
UL CoMP
If the transmission delay between inter-eNodeB CoMP cells exceeds this value, the
CoMP does not take effect and there is no gain.
3.3.3.3
Transmission Bandwidth
The transmission bandwidth refers to the physical bandwidth of the transmission
device from one eNodeB to another. The minimum transmission bandwidth for DL
CoMP and UL CoMP coordinated cells are listed in the following table:
Table 3-3 Transmission Bandwidth for Different CoMP Types
CoMP Types
DL CoMP CS
1.67Mbps
UL CoMP
100 Mbps
3.4
3.5
Before enabling the CoMP function, CoMP coordinated neighbor cells should be configured
on EMS. The principle for selecting a CoMP coordinated neighbor cell is the same with the
rules used to select a handover neighbor cell.
2.
The number of CoMP coordinated neighbor cells is limited to 6. Therefore, not all handover
neighbor cells can be configured to coordinated neighbor cells. Only the cells with the
physically overlapped areas can be selected and configured to coordinated neighboring
cells.
3.
3.6
A CoMP serving cell can be configured with 6 coordinated neighbor cells. According to the
A3 measurement, the serving cell can automatically select a neighbor cell with the
strongest interference as coordinated neighbor cell to perform CoMP so as to avoid
interference.
3.7
When the baseband boards of coordinated neighbor cells are in Slot 3 and Slot 8,
the coordinated neighbor cells can directly exchange information through the
backplane. Therefore, the CR0 board is not needed as shown in the following
figure.
Figure 3-7 Inter-Board CoMP Coordination without CR0
Note:
1.
This function is only applied in the scenario that two baseband boards are in Slot 3 and Slot
8. Other slots do not support this function. The baseband board can be two BPLs or two
BPNs. The hybrid configuration scenario of BPL and BPN is not supported in this version
2.
When two baseband boards are inserted in slots 3 and Slot 8, two methods can be adopted
for interaction:
Do not insert the CR0 board in Slot 4. Two baseband boards directly exchange
information through the backplane.
Insert the CR0 board in Slot 4 and configure it to Common mode rather than
CloudRadio Mode. Two baseband boards can exchange information through the
CR0 board

In the Cloud IRC procedure, because message exchange between the serving cell
and coordinated cells is reduced, the requirement for transmission delay is
reduced. This policy is only suitable for CoMP between base stations. The gain
obtained by using Cloud IRC is less than that obtained by using JR.
In order to save the resource of IP address and transmission port, CR0 and CC
with the same port and same IP is developed. CR0 is configured the same IP
address with CC instead of the standalone IP address. CR0 is linked to
transmission equipment from the port of CC instead of the standalone port. This
function needs CCE which is a new type of CC instead of CC16.

1.
When CoMP function is enabled, the performance is more enhanced than CoMP function is
disabled, no matter JT, CS or JT&CS adaption.
2.
3.
The ratio of throughput less than 2Mbps is decreased from 8% to 1% with inter-eNodeB
CoMP function. The ratio of throughput less than 4Mbps is decreased from 20% to 8%.
4.
The worst throughput which occupied 5% ratio is improved with 300% growing rate; the
worst throughput which occupied 10% ratio is improved with 100% growing rate.
5.
6.
The worst throughput improved by JT is larger than CS. Because the PCI of serving cell
and coordinated cell mod 3 is different when UE is coordinated in the case of inter-eNodeB
or intra-eNodeB. In this case, the performance loss of JT is larger than CS. The test result
is fitted to simulation result.
7.
CS and JT have the preferential usage scenario respectively. JT&CS adaption technology can
obtain the best effect, which can adapt to parameter and optimize further.

The throughput of cell edge is increased after CoMP function is enabled. The red line in
throughput CDF shows that lower throughput ratio is decreased, which means that
throughput of UE in cell edge is increased after CoMP function is enabled obviously. When
UE in cell center, the throughput is higher, the UE is not to regard as a CoMP UE and the
available RB is decreased, so the throughput is lower than CoMP function is disabled.
