2 Overview
2.1 Background
The popularization of intelligent terminals accelerates the migration of users to next-
generation networks. As CS and PS traffic loads on GSM networks lighten, operators expect
to release some GSM spectrums and reuse them in LTE networks. To achieve this in areas co-
served by GSM and LTE networks, the GSM and LTE FDD Dynamic Spectrum Sharing
feature is applied. This feature fully utilizes idle GSM spectrums during off-peak hours to
improve spectral efficiency and satisfy the bandwidth requirement of LTE networks, thereby
improving the competitiveness of LTE networks.
2.2 Introduction
GL DSS allows some GSM spectrums to be shared by GSM and LTE networks.
The eCoordinator implements joint allocation and scheduling of the shared spectrums. If a
GSM network does not use the shared spectrums or causes minor interference to an LTE
network, the LTE network can use the shared spectrums to meet its high bandwidth
requirements.
The following lists the basic concepts of GL DSS.
l Dedicated spectrum
The GSM dedicated spectrum can be used only by GSM networks, whereas the LTE
dedicated spectrum can be used only by LTE networks.
In the system bandwidth, radio bearers (RBs) that are not shared by high and low LTE
frequency bands through parameter configuration are called statically exclusive RBs.
When flexible exclusive scheduling of shared RBs is enabled, statically shared RBs that
do not experience interference from GSM shared frequencies and can be used with
statically exclusive RBs are called dynamically exclusive RBs. Figure 2-1 shows details.
l Shared spectrum
The shared spectrum can be shared by both GSM and LTE networks. GSM networks can
preferentially use the shared spectrum.
When the GSM network does not use the shared spectrum, the LTE network can
determine whether to carry PDSCHs or PDCCHs on the shared spectrum.
In the system bandwidth, RBs that are shared by high and low LTE frequency bands
through parameter configuration are called statically shared RBs.
When flexible scheduling of shared spectrum (FlexSpecSchSwitch) is enabled, a
spectrum free from GSM interference among the shared spectrum can be used as an
additional LTE dedicated spectrum, as shown in Figure 2-1.
NOTE
For details about how the LTE network determines whether to carry PDSCHs or PDCCHs on the shared
spectrum, see 4.1.2 Calculating the RB SINR by the eCoordinator.
2.3 Benefits
This feature provides the following benefits:
l Improves spectral efficiency by fully utilizing spectrum resources.
l Increases the LTE network throughput.
If the spectrum available to LTE after refarming is still insufficient, enabling this feature
allows the LTE network to use the shared spectrum to meet its standard bandwidth
requirement.
As shown in Figure 2-2, GSM and LTE networks each occupy 10 MHz on the 1800
MHz frequency band. After 2 MHz GSM spectrum is refarmed for the LTE network, the
LTE spectrum reaches 12 MHz. Then, the GSM network contributes 3 MHz spectrum to
be shared with LTE networks. So a total of 15 MHz, the standard bandwidth, is available
to LTE networks. After this feature is activated in this scenario:
– The LTE downlink network capacity increases by 15% to 45%.
– The GSM call drop rate increases by 0.08% and the MOS decreases by less than
0.12 points.
Figure 2-2 Spectrum distribution before and after enabling the feature
The gains in LTE throughput depend on the GSM traffic volume on the shared spectrum and
the bandwidth of the shared spectrum, as described in Table 2-1.
NOTE
The gains in this table are obtained in typical test scenarios when UEs (model: E392) are used.
Throughput gains vary according to UE models and network scenarios.
2.4 Architecture
Figure 2-3 shows the architecture for information exchange between NEs during the
implementation of GL DSS.
Table 2-2 describes the functions of NEs during the implementation of this feature.
BSC l Sends the GSM frequency usage on the shared spectrum to the
eCoordinator in real time.
l First allocates the GSM dedicated spectrum and then the shared
spectrum to CS or PS services. For details, see 3 Optimization of
CS/PS Channel Allocation on the GSM Side.
NE Function
eCoordinator l Updates the GSM frequency usage on the shared spectrum in real
time.
l Maintains LTE cell information in real time. The LTE cell
information includes LTE bandwidth, central E-UTRA absolute radio
frequency channel number (EARFCN), number of resource blocks
(RBs) on the high frequency band of the shared spectrum, and
number of RBs on the low frequency band of the shared spectrum.
l Calculates the current signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR)
on each RB of the shared spectrum in each LTE cell. It then sends the
SINR to the eNodeB, based on the cell-level GL interference matrix
generated from the GSM measurement report (MR) data and the
GSM frequency usage on the shared spectrum.
l Sends the GSM frequency usage on the shared spectrum to the co-
sited eNodeB. The eNodeB then determines the availability of
PDCCH resource elements (PDCCH REs) on the shared spectrum.
eNodeB l Determines whether the shared spectrum is used and how to allocate
the RBs on the shared spectrum based on the SINR value sent from
the eCoordinator.
l Decides not to send symbols corresponding to PDCCH REs of the
shared spectrum to UEs. For details, see 4 Resource Allocation and
Scheduling on the LTE Side.
NOTE
This feature applies only to GSM1800 MHz common cell networking. Therefore, set
CELLGLDSS.LTEDlCenterFreq(BSC6900,BSC6910) to a value ranging from 1200 to 1949.
Band Downlink
1 2110 0 0 – 599
In special networking scenarios, only individual GSM BCCH frequencies need to be included
in the LTE bandwidth. These frequencies can be included only in the LTE guard bandwidth on
the shared spectrum. In this situation, the
CELLGLDSS.BCCHFreqShareSw(BSC6900,BSC6910) switch must be turned on on the
GSM side.
NOTE
When GL DSS is enabled, it is not recommended that BCCH frequencies be included in the shared
spectrum. To include BCCH frequencies in the shared spectrum, contact Huawei technical support.
l The BSC preferentially allocates a TCH on a shared carrier to a newly admitted CS call
when all of the following conditions are met.
The BSC preferentially allocates a TCH on a GSM dedicated carrier to the newly
admitted call if the following conditions are not met:
– Number of available TCHs on the GSM dedicated carriers ≤
CELLGLDSS.AloneTrxResvChanNum(BSC6900,BSC6910)
– Difference between the downlink receive level and the optimal neighboring cell
level for the call ≥ CELLGLDSS.GlDssAtcbThld(BSC6900,BSC6910)
– Difference between the downlink receive level and
CELLGLDSS.SharedTrxRxLevThld(BSC6900,BSC6910) for the call ≥ 0.2 x
CELLGLDSS.SharedTrxPwrDecrLev(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l Handover from shared carriers to dedicated carriers
If CS calls are allocated TCHs on the GSM dedicated carriers and the number of
available TCHs on the GSM dedicated carriers is less than the value of
CELLGLDSS.AloneTrxResvChanNum(BSC6900,BSC6910), a CS call can be handed
over from a GSM dedicated carrier to a shared carrier when both of the following
conditions are met:
– Difference between the downlink receive level and the optimal neighboring cell
level for the call ≥ CELLGLDSS.GlDssAtcbThld(BSC6900,BSC6910)
– Difference between the downlink receive level and
CELLGLDSS.SharedTrxRxLevThld(BSC6900,BSC6910) for the call ≥ 0.2 x
CELLGLDSS.SharedTrxRxLevThld(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l Handover from shared carriers to dedicated carriers
A CS call can be handed over from a shared carrier to a GSM dedicated carrier when
either of the following conditions is met:
– Difference between the downlink receive level and the optimal neighboring cell
level for the call < CELLGLDSS.GlDssAtcbThld(BSC6900,BSC6910) -
CELLGLDSS.GlDssAtcbHYST(BSC6900,BSC6910)
– Downlink receive level for the call <
CELLGLDSS.SharedTrxRxLevThld(BSC6900,BSC6910) -
CELLGLDSS.SharedTrxRxLevHYST(BSC6900,BSC6910)
When CELLGLDSS.SharedTrxPwrDecrSw(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to OFF(Off), the
BSC preferentially allocates TCHs on GSM dedicated carriers to CS services. If no TCHs are
available on GSM dedicated carriers, the BSC allocates TCHs on shared carriers to the CS
services.
The priorities of GSM dedicated and shared carriers are as follows:
l All GSM dedicated carriers have the same priority.
l The longer the spacing between the ARFCN of a shared carrier and the central EARFCN
specified by CELLGLDSS.LTEDlCenterFreq(BSC6900,BSC6910), the higher the
priority of the shared carrier. If the respective spacings between the ARFCNs of two
shared carriers and the central EARFCN specified by
CELLGLDSS.LTEDlCenterFreq(BSC6900,BSC6910) are the same, the shared carrier
with the smaller ARFCN has a higher priority.
NOTE
l If the traffic load of GSM dedicated carriers is higher than or equal to the result of
GCELLCHMGAD.TCHBUSYTHRES(BSC6900,BSC6910) minus
CELLGLDSS.AloneTrxHrLdThldOffset(BSC6900,BSC6910), TCHHs are allocated to
calls on GSM dedicated carriers.
NOTE
l If the traffic load of GSM dedicated carriers is higher than or equal to the result of
GCELLCHMGAD.AMRTCHHPRIORALLOW(BSC6900,BSC6910) minus
CELLGLDSS.AloneTrxHrLdThldOffset(BSC6900,BSC6910), TCHHs are allocated to
AMR calls on GSM dedicated carriers. If
GCELLCHMGAD.TCHBUSYTHRES(BSC6900,BSC6910) is less than or equal to
CELLGLDSS.AloneTrxHrLdThldOffset(BSC6900,BSC6910), the result will be 0 or a
negative value. In such a case, the result is considered 0.
l If the traffic load of shared carriers is higher than or equal to
GCELLCHMGAD.AMRTCHHPRIORALLOW(BSC6900,BSC6910), TCHHs are
allocated to AMR calls on shared carriers.
(Level of the target cell or level of a neighboring cell – Level of the serving cell) ≥
CELLGLDSS.SharedTrxInterfHoAtcbThld(BSC6900,BSC6910)
NOTE
This message can carry a maximum of three candidate neighboring cells with the strongest level except
for the target cell.
As shown in Figure 3-1, upon receipt of a message from the BSC, the eCoordinator instructs
the eNodeB not to schedule the RBs corresponding to the shared frequencies that cannot be
used and starts the timer specified by the RBStatusTimer parameter. When the timer expires,
the eCoordinator sends the eNodeB a message, informing the eNodeB that the RBs can be
scheduled.
NOTE
For details about TCH allocation, see Channel Management Feature Parameter Description for GBSS.
If the BSC determines that static PDCHs have been configured on the shared carriers in a cell,
the BSC LMT displays this configuration and prompts users to query the number of the GSM
dedicated carrier in the cell by running the LST GTRX command and then modify the static
PDCH configuration.
For details about PDCH allocation, see GPRS EGPRS Channel Management Feature Parameter
Description for GBSS.
– The channel conversion priorities of exclusive and shared carriers that carry PDCHs
are the same.
– If no PDCHs are available on shared carriers or GSM dedicated carriers, channel
conversion is preferentially performed on GSM dedicated carriers. The channel
conversion priorities of GSM dedicated and shared carriers are the same as those of
channel allocation optimization.
4.1.1 Sending the Shared Frequency Usage from the GSM Side
When CS services occupy channels on a shared carrier for the first time or when TCHs on a
shared carrier are converted to PDCHs in a GSM cell and are not occupied by CS services, the
BSC notifies the eCoordinator of the shared frequency usage. In this situation, the BSC sends
a CHANNEL ACT message to the BTS at a delay specified by
CELLGLDSS.TchActDelay(BSC6900,BSC6910).
The BSC notifies the eCoordinator of the shared frequency release status when both of the
following conditions are met:
l The last CS service on the shared carriers is released in a GSM cell.
l The total number of idle TCHs on GSM dedicated carriers and on other higher-priority
shared carriers is greater than or equal to the value of
CELLGLDSS.ECOMSGIdleTchNum(BSC6900,BSC6910). Alternatively, the last
PDCH is converted to a TCH and is not occupied by any call.
The BSC sends the shared frequency usage to the eCoordinator every 10 minutes.
The eCoordinator then sends the LTE RB SINR and the GSM frequency usage on the shared
spectrum to the co-sited eNodeB. The eNodeB then determines the availability of PDCCH
REs on the shared spectrum.
l The eNodeB schedules either the LTE dedicated spectrum or the shared spectrum for
each user in each transmission time interval (TTI).
l The eNodeB preferentially allocates RBs on the LTE dedicated spectrum in each TTI. If
no RBs on the LTE dedicated spectrum are available, the eNodeB allocates those on the
shared spectrum.
l The eNodeB determines the location of users according to the reference signal received
power (RSRP) obtained from the A3 measurement event reported by users. The eNodeB
then queries the RB SINR based on RSRP and user location.
– If the SINR of a shared RB is greater than or equal to the value of the
CELLDSS.NearAreaSinrThd parameter, the shared RB can be scheduled by UEs
in the center of a cell.
– If the SINR of a shared RB is greater than or equal to the value of the
CELLDSS.MiddleAreaSinrThd parameter, the shared RB can be scheduled by
UEs between the cell center and cell edge.
– If the SINR of a shared RB is greater than or equal to the value of the
CELLDSS.FarAreaSinrThd parameter, the shared RB can be scheduled by UEs at
the edge of a cell.
A spectrum providing shared RBs can be used as the additional LTE dedicated spectrum
when FlexSpecSchSwitch under the CELLDSS.SpecShrPfmOptSwitch parameter is set
to ON and the SINR of the shared RB is greater than the value of the
CELLDSS.SinrThdWithoutGsmInterf parameter.
With GL DSS, the CELLDSS.A3Offset parameter is added to the A3 measurement. This
parameter specifies the level offset between the serving cell and its neighboring cell that
reports RSRP. If the Carrier Aggregation feature is enabled, the A6 measurement event
must be also triggered on the same frequency band to obtain the RSRP values of
secondary serving cells and their neighboring cells on the same frequency band. The
obtained RSRP values are used to determine the attribute range of users in secondary
serving cells in the same way as that of primary cells. With GL DSS, the
CELLDSS.A6Offset parameter is added to the A6 measurement. This parameter
specifies the level offset between the secondary serving cell in CA and its neighboring
cell that reports RSRP. When the value of CELLDSS.A6Offset or CELLDSS.A6Offset
is set to a value as small as possible, UEs can report the RSRP of serving cells and
neighboring cells as often as possible to meet GL DSS measurement requirements.
NOTE
PDCCH Optimization
The eNodeB determines whether the PDCCH REs of the shared spectrum in LTE cells are
available based on the GSM frequency usage. If both
CellAlgoSwitch.DynSpectrumShareSwitch and CellDss.REMuteSwitch are set to ON(On),
the eNodeB does not send unavailable PDCCH REs of the shared spectrum to UEs.
NOTE
CellDss.REMuteSwitch controls not only whether the eNodeB sends the PDCCH RE of the shared
spectrum occupied by GSM networks, but also whether the eNodeB sends the cell-specific reference
signal (CRS) of the shared spectrum occupied by the GSM networks.
NOTE
On the eCoordinator side, the neighboring GSM cells co-sited with the LTE cell and neighboring GSM
cells under adjacent sites can be configured by running the ADD ELGNCELL command.
10 MHz 10
15 MHz 18
20 MHz No requirement
If the GUI value of PUCCHCfg.CqiRbNum exceeds the restrictions, the cell-level SRS
bandwidth may fail to be configured, and therefore cells may fail to be established. When GL
DSS is enabled, the eNodeB does not need to verify whether the SRS and PRACH use the
same RB resources.

6 Network Impact
Network Performance
Enabling this feature has the following impacts on network performance:
l CS services
The frequency reuse becomes tight and frequency hopping gains decrease, thereby
deteriorating voice quality.
l PS services
The TBF multiplexing rate on the exclusive spectrum increases, thereby increasing the
TBF congestion rate and decreasing PS traffic.
l CPU usages
The CPU usages of BSC6900 XPU boards or BSC6910 EGPU boards increase.
Network Performance
Enabling this feature increases LTE network throughput.
Enabling flexible exclusive scheduling of shared RBs can improve the LTE single-user
experience if GSM UEs do not completely occupy the shared spectrum.
Enabling avoidance of GSM interference can avoid strong interference from GSM and
improve uplink performance of LTE.
NOTE
When different TCHF-to-TCHH conversion thresholds are provided for TCH allocation on shared
carriers and exclusive carriers, LTE network throughput further increases.
After this feature is enabled, if strong GSM interference exists in the LTE band, the
measurement results of some LTE full-band counters related to the SINR, RSRQ, and full-
band CQI are incorrect and both of the RSSI and interference increase. Therefore, you are
advised to use the counters related to MCS or throughput measurement to evaluate network
performance.
As some LTE UEs are incompatible with this feature, enabling this feature deteriorates the
UEs' throughput to some extent. Therefore, before a large-scale official commercial use of
this feature, it is recommended that this feature be tested at heavy-traffic sites to check
whether the UEs' incompatibility will cause customer complaints.
In addition, UEs support the high-order modulation of 256QAM in 3GPP Release 12 and
later. After this feature is enabled, GSM networks interfere with LTE networks. As a result,
the LTE MCS cannot meet the requirement of 256QAM, and the 256QAM gains cannot be
achieved.
7 Engineering Guidelines
To deploy and enable this feature, contact Huawei engineers to obtain the following services:
l RF planning
l Division of GSM exclusive spectrum and shared spectrum based on traffic requirements
in cells
l Generation and import of the GSM-to-LTE interference matrix
l PCI planning to avoid interference on PCFICHs and PHICHs of the LTE network from
the GSM network
l Static refarming from a GSM network to an LTE network is complete, and operators
expect to increase LTE bandwidth without decreasing the GSM bandwidth.
l Static refarming from a GSM network to an LTE network has not yet been performed,
and there are difficulties in deploying LTE networks with higher bandwidth requirements
in GSM hot spot areas.
7.3 Planning
7.3.1 RF Planning
RF planning for enabling this feature consists of RF planning on the entire network and RF
planning in specific areas on the network. The only difference is that a buffer zone is required
for RF planning in specific areas on the network. The method for planning the buffer zone is
the same as that for planning the buffer zone in GL refarming scenarios. For more
information, contact Huawei engineers.
NOTE
After this feature is enabled, GSM and LTE co-channel interference occurs on the shared spectrum. This
adversely affects GSM and LTE network performance. If the interference is severe, call drops may occur
and the throughput rate may decrease, and services may even fail to be initiated. In this case, a buffer
zone is required between the GSM and LTE sites on the same frequency band.
A buffer zone is required between the area enabled with this feature and that not enabled
with this feature to adjust the frequency configuration of GSM cells within the buffer
zone. The GSM frequency configuration in the buffer zone is the same as that in the area
enabled with the feature. In addition, the GSM cells in the buffer zone must be enabled
with this feature.
l Scenario 2: If static refarming from a GSM network to an LTE network has not yet been
performed, higher LTE bandwidth is required and this feature must be enabled in specific
areas on the network, as shown in Figure 7-2.
A buffer zone is required between the area enabled with this feature and that not enabled
with this feature to adjust the frequency configuration of GSM cells within the buffer
zone. The GSM frequency configuration in the buffer zone is the same as that in the area
enabled with the feature. In addition, the GSM cells in the buffer zone must be enabled
with this feature.

supported, and the uplink bandwidth must be the same as the downlink bandwidth.
l The proportion of the shared bandwidth to the total LTE bandwidth is less than or equal
to 1/5. The shared spectrums must be symmetrically distributed at both ends of the LTE
bandwidth, and the bandwidth difference between the spectrums on the high and low

You are advised to enable GBFD-117601 HUAWEI III Power Control Algorithm and set
GCELLPWR3.PWRCTRLOPTIMIZEDEN(BSC6900,BSC6910) to YES(Yes). In the
coverage area served by both GSM and LTE base stations, LTE networks impose severe co-
channel interference on GSM networks. The GSM downlink power control algorithm takes
three measurement report periods (approximately 1.44s) from command sending to execution
whereas the LTE RB scheduling period is 1 ms. Therefore, the GSM power control algorithm
does not reflect the interference to GSM networks from LTE networks and GSM intra-
network interference. To accurately reflect the interference, set power control-related
parameters in the GCELLPWR3 MO as follows:
l Set DLREXLEVADJFCTR(BSC6900,BSC6910) to 2.
l Set DLREXQUALADJFCTR(BSC6900,BSC6910) to 8.
l Set DLMAXDOWNSTEP(BSC6900,BSC6910) to 2.

into the eCoordinator. Set Mobile Network Code, Mobile Country Code, eNodeB ID, and
Cell ID for LTE cells and GSM Cell MNC, GSM Cell MCC, Cell LAC, and Cell CI for
GSM cells according to the actual network plan. Interference Matrix specifies the GSM and
LTE interference matrix.
Step 4 Add non-co-coverage neighboring GSM cells for an LTE cell.
Run the ADD ELGNCELL command to add co-site non-co-coverage neighboring GSM cells
or non-co-site non-co-coverage neighboring GSM cells that require the transmission of
information about shared frequencies, for an LTE cell.
Step 5 Enable GL DSS.
Run the SET ELCELLGLDSS command. In this step, set GL Dynamic Spectrum Sharing
Switch to ON(ON), and set the CGI (Mobile Network Code+Mobile Country Code+Cell
LAC+Cell CI), shared rb control factor 1, shared rb control factor 2, and shared rb
control factor 3 for GSM cells that are served by the same base station and cover the same
area as LTE cells according to the actual information.
----End

bandwidth according to the frequency plan after GL DSS is enabled.
Step 3 Configure the shared bandwidth for GL DSS.
Run the MOD CELLDSS command with parameters set according to the "Setting Notes"
column in Table 7-5.
Step 4 Enable GL DSS.
Run the MOD CELLALGOSWITCH command with parameters set according to the
"Setting Notes" column in Table 7-4.
----End
NOTE
To observe activation of this feature, you are advised to enable Se/Sg interface message tracing before
configuring data.
NOTE
When the GSM cell configuration changes, the BSC also sends a BSC RESOURCE STATUS
TRANSFER message to the eCoordinator. Upon receiving this message, the eCoordinator responds with
a BSC RESOURCE STATUS TRANSFER ACK message.
l Messages over the Se interface
– eCo RESOURCE STATUS REQ
When establishing LTE cells on the eCoordinator, the eCoordinator sends its
resource status to the eNodeB.
– eNB RESOURCE STATUS TRANSFER
Upon receiving the eCo RESOURCE STATUS REQ message, the eNodeB sends its
data configuration to the eCoordinator.
– GL DSS Interference Info
After obtaining the interference matrix and GSM frequency usage, the eCoordinator
calculates and sends the RB SINR to the eNodeB through a GL DSS Interference
Info message.
NOTE
When the GSM cell configuration changes, the eNodeB also sends an eNB RESOURCE STATUS
TRANSFER message to the eCoordinator. Upon receiving this message, the eCoordinator responds with
an eNB RESOURCE STATUS TRANSFER ACK message.
l Whether the links between the BSC and the eCoordinator and between the eNodeB and
eCoordinator are running properly.
l Whether GSM and LTE cells are running properly.
Step 1 On the BSC side, run the DSP GLDSSSTATUS command to query the GL DSS frequency
status. If the frequency information can be queried, this feature is enabled.
Step 2 On the eNodeB side, run the DSP ECO command to query the status of the interface between
the eNodeB and eCoordinator. If the value of ECO Interface CP Bearer State is Normal,
the interface between the eNodeB and eCoordinator is running properly.
Step 3 On the eCoordinator side, run the DSP GLDSSINFO command to query the status of the GL
DSS feature. If the value of GSM Cell GLDSS State is Normal, the GL DSS running.
----End
7.4.5 Deactivation
Table 7-6, Table 7-7, and Table 7-8 list the parameters required for deactivating this feature.
There are two ways of feature deactivation: using the CME and using MML commands
BSC
Step 1 Run the BSC MML command SET CELLGLDSS with GL DSS Switch set to OFF(Off).
Step 2 Run the BSC MML command SET GCELLPSCHM with PDCH Management
Optimization set to the value configured before this feature is enabled.
----End
eCoordinator
Run the eCoordinator MML command SET ELCELLGLDSS with GL Dynamic Spectrum
Sharing Switch set to OFF(OFF).
eNodeB
Step 1 Run the eNodeB MML command MOD CELLALGOSWITCH with Dynamic Spectrum
Share Switch set to OFF(Off).
Step 2 Run the eNodeB MML command MOD CELLDSS with both Shared RB Number in High
Frequency and Shared RB Number in Low Frequency set to 0.
Step 3 Run the eNodeB MML command MOD CELL to restore the settings of Downlink
EARFCN and Downlink bandwidth.
----End
7.4.6 Reconfiguration
If the GSM and LTE interference matrix is affected by site addition or deletion, and
adjustment of cell power, antenna azimuth and downtilt, re-calculate the interference matrix.
The interference matrix can be adjusted partially for specific sites.
The counters listed in the preceding table can reflect the throughput and throughput rate on
the shared spectrum. In addition, block error rate (BLER) can reflect the quality of shared
RBs.
NOTE
When FlexSpecSchSwitch under the SpecShrPfmOptSwitch parameter is set to ON, the previous
counters are measured for dynamically shared spectrums.
If the throughput rate in LTE cells has minor improvements, check the CS or PS traffic
volume on GSM shared carriers according to the GSM counters listed in Table 7-10.
l If the total number of GSM shared frequencies is small, GSM CS or PS traffic volume is
high, the shared spectrum that can be used by LTE networks is low, and LTE gains are
low.
l If the total number of occupied TCHs on shared carriers is large, GSM CS traffic volume
is high and LTE gains are low.
l If the total number of occupied PDCHs on shared carriers is large, GSM PS traffic
volume is high and LTE gains are low.
In this situation, LTE inter-cell interference increases, which slightly affects the
throughput of UEs at the cell edge. In addition, interference to the GSM network
increases, which slightly jeopardizes performance on the GSM network.
