PDCCH capacity optimization.

• In order to be able to support higher number of users it is necessary to upgrade and optimise
the PDCCH channel so it does not become a bottleneck. Possible actions include:

• Activate usage based PDCCH Adaptation (LTE616)

• Enable Packet Aggregation ( if not already enabled)

• Decrease PDCCH load with RL50 TTI bundling feature (applied for GBR and non-GBR bearers)

• Optimise via parameters the PDCCH aggregation level for different types of resource allocation (
system information, paging, random access, user plane resources)

• Optimise via parameters the PDCCH outer loop link adaptation, the allocation share between
uplink and downlink resource allocations or using a scaling factor for PDCCH load
