LTE eRAN11.1 Carrier Aggregation Feature

Permission

Permission
 During CA, upper-layer data streams are mapped to individual component carriers
(CCs) at the Media Access Control (MAC) layer in LTE-Advanced networks. An
eNodeB constructs one or more (two or more in the case of spatial multiplexing)
transport blocks (TBs) in each transmission time interval (TTI) for each CC. Each CC
uses its own hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) entities and link adaptation
mechanism. Therefore, the LTE-Advanced system can inherit single-carrier-based
physical layer designs for the LTE system.
 Benefits
 Maximized Utilization of Time-Frequency Resources
 Efficient Utilization of Non-contiguous Spectrum Chunks
 Better User Experience

Permission
 Maximized Resource Utilization

 A CA-capable UE (referred to as CA UE in this document) can use idle
resource blocks (RBs) on up to five CCs to maximize utilization of resources.
 Efficient Utilization of Non-contiguous Spectrum Chunks
 With CA, an operator's non-contiguous spectrum chunks can be aggregated
for efficient utilization.
 Better User Experience
 With CA enabled, a single UE can reach higher uplink and downlink peak data
rates. On a network that serves a number of UEs, CA UEs with activated
secondary serving cells (SCells) can use idle resources in their SCells and
achieve increased throughput if the network is not overloaded.

Permission
 Huawei CA operates in accordance with the following constraints, which are

stipulated in 3GPP TS 36.300 of Release 10:
 In the uplink or downlink, a CA UE supports the aggregation of up to five CCs,
each with a maximum bandwidth of 20 MHz. Currently, Huawei eNodeBs
support the aggregation of no more than three FDD CCs or a combination of
four FDD and TDD CCs, each with a maximum bandwidth of 20 MHz.
 CA UEs support asymmetric CA. A UE may use different numbers of CCs in
the uplink and downlink. However, the number of CCs in the downlink must
always be greater than or equal to the number of CCs in the uplink. In addition,
the uplink CCs must be included in the set of downlink CCs. Currently, Huawei
eNodeBs support the aggregation of two CCs in the uplink and the
aggregation of two CCs, three CCs, or a combination of four FDD and TDD
CCs in the downlink.
 Each CC uses the same frame structure as 3GPP Release 8 carriers to
support backward compatibility.
 3GPP Release 8 or 9 UEs are allowed to transmit and receive data on
Release 10 CCs.

Permission
 The uplink and downlink air-interface protocol stack with CA enabled has the following
characteristics:
 A single radio bearer has only one Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP)
entity and one Radio Link Control (RLC) entity. In addition, the number of CCs
at the physical layer is invisible to the RLC layer.
 User-plane data scheduling at the MAC layer is performed separately for
individual CCs.
 Each CC has an independent set of transport channels and separate HARQ
entities and retransmission processes.
 HARQ: Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest
 ROHC: robust header compression

Permission
 PCell: Primary Serving Cell

 PCell is the cell where a CA UE camps on. In the PCell, the CA UE works in
the same way as a 3GPP Release 8 or 9 UE. The PUCCH of the UE exists
only in the PCell.
 SCell: Secondary Serving Cell
 For carrier aggregation, the eNodeB configures SCells for a CA UE using RRC
Connection Reconfiguration messages. An SCell provides the CA UE with
more radio resources.
 CC: Component carriers
 The carriers that are aggregated for a CA UE.
 PCC: Primary component carrier
 The carrier of the PCell.
 SCC: Secondary component carrier
 The carrier of an SCell.
 PCC Anchoring
 During PCC anchoring, the eNodeB selects a high-priority cell as the PCell for
the UE.

 PCC anchoring occurs when CA UEs initially access networks or when their RRC
connections are released. It does not occur during incoming handovers or RRC
connection re-establishments. During PCC anchoring, an eNodeB selects a PCell for
a CA UE based on PCell or PCC priorities.
 SCell configuration is triggered when a CA UE initiates RRC connection setup in
any of the following scenarios: initial access (when PCC anchoring has finished), an
RRC connection re-establishmentSCell activation, and an incoming handover.
 After an SCell is configured, it may be changed, activated, deactivated, and
removed.
 CA works only when an SCell is configured and activated for a CA UE.

Permission
 A gap-assisted measurement timer is used in PCC anchoring and SCell configuration

for carrier management. The timer has a fixed length of 3s.

Permission
 The adaptive mode requires that CaGroupSCellCfg.SCellBlindCfgFlag be set

to TRUE(TRUE) for candidate SCells

Permission
 An eNodeB supports PCC anchoring for connected-mode UEs

if EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch under
theENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is on and
the CaGroupCell.PreferredPCellPriority or PccFreqCfg.PreferredPccPriority
parameter has been set. The two parameters specify the PCell priority used in CA-
group-based configuration mode and the PCC priority used in adaptive configuration
mode, respectively.
 The RSRP threshold for event A1 is specified by
the CaMgtCfg.EnhancedPccAnchorA1ThdRsrp parameter.

Permission
 Candidate PCCs can be prioritized for CA UEs. If PccAnchorSwitch is on, the

eNodeB performs PCC anchoring to select cells with high PCell priorities as PCells
for CA UEs.
 After a CA UE has its RRC connection set up during initial access to a cell, if the UE
supports inter-frequency handovers and no bearer for an emergency call or with a
QCI of 1 has been established for the UE.
 PccAnchorSwitch is under the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is on.
 PCell priorities are specified by the CaGroupCell.PreferredPCellPriority parameter.
 The PCC anchoring procedure is as follows:
 The eNodeB checks whether cell 1 has the highest PCell priority among the
cells in the CA group.
 If cell 1 has the highest PCell priority, the eNodeB retains cell 1 as the
PCell for the UE and does not perform further PCC anchoring.
 If cell 1 does not have the highest PCell priority, the eNodeB treats the
cells that have higher PCell priorities than cell 1 in the CA group as
candidate PCells. The eNodeB then arranges the candidates in
descending order of PCell priority and goes to the next step.

Permission
 PCC anchoring works in the same way during frequency-based and adaptive CA.
Compared with PCC anchoring in CA-group-based configuration mode, PCC
anchoring in frequency-based or adaptive configuration mode involves candidate
PCCs for which only frequency-level information is configured. Therefore, the eNodeB
can determine the PCell only after receiving A4 measurement reports from the CA UE.
 After a CA UE has its RRC connection set up during initial access to a cell on a carrier,
if the UE supports inter-frequency HO and no bearer for an emergency call or with a
QCI of 1 has been established, the eNodeB performs PCC anchoring as shown in
next procedure.
 PCC anchoring requires that PccAnchorSwitch under the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter be on and candidate PCC
configurations (including PCC priorities, specified by
PccFreqCfg.PreferredPccPriority) have been added.
 The PCC anchoring procedure is as follows:
 The eNodeB checks whether carrier 1 has the highest PCC priority (specified
by the PccFreqCfg.PreferredPccPriority parameter) among the carriers
identified by PccDlEarfcn in PccFreqCfg managed objects (MOs).
 If carrier 1 has the highest PCC priority, the eNodeB retains the cell on
carrier 1 as the PCell for the UE and does not perform further PCC
anchoring.

Permission
 If carrier 1 does not have the highest PCC priority, the eNodeB treats
higher-priority carriers as candidate PCCs for the UE, arranges them in
descending order of PCC priority, and goes to the next step.

Permission
 PreferredPCellPriority
 Content: Indicates the priority of the cell being treated as a primary serving
cell (PCell). A larger parameter value represents a higher priority level. This
parameter is valid only if the
IdleModePccAnchorSwitch(IdleModePccAnchorSwitch),
PccAnchorSwitch(PccAnchorSwitch), or
EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch(EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch) option of the
CaAlgoSwitch parameter is selected.
 Value range: 0~7
 Physical value range: 0~7
 Physical unit: None
 Set this parameter through ADD CAGROUPCELL/MOD CAGROUPCELL.
 PCellA4RsrpThd
 Content: Indicates the reference signal received power (RSRP) threshold for
triggering event A4 during higher-priority cell evaluation for PCell selection in
scenarios where CA is configured based on CA groups.
 Value range: -140~-43
 Physical value range: -140~-43
 Physical unit: dBm
 Set this parameter through ADD CAGROUPCELL/MOD CAGROUPCELL.

Permission
 PreferredPCellPriority
 Content: Specifies the priority with which the candidate PCC is selected as
the PCC. The priority level has a positive correlation with the parameter value.
This parameter is valid only if the
IdleModePccAnchorSwitch(IdleModePccAnchorSwitch),
PccAnchorSwitch(PccAnchorSwitch), or
EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch(EnhancedPccAnchorSwitch) option of the
CaAlgoSwitch parameter is selected.
 Set this parameter through ADD PCCFREQCFG/MOD PCCFREQCFG.

 PCellA4RsrpThd
 Content: Indicates the reference signal received power (RSRP) threshold for
triggering event A4 during higher-priority carrier evaluation for PCC selection.
 Set this parameter through ADD PCCFREQCFG/MOD PCCFREQCFG.

Permission
 To prioritize certain frequencies as SCCs, an operator can set high SCell or SCC
priorities so that the eNodeB will select the highest-priority cell or carrier as an SCell
or SCC for the UE.
 The triggering of the SCell configuration procedure is also dependent on two factors:
 Setting of CaTrafficTriggerSwitch：
 If this switch is off, the eNodeB performs SCell configuration when the
CA UE initiates RRC connection setup (PCC anchoring has finished) or
when the traffic volume of the CA UE meets the SCell activation
conditions.
 If this switch is on, the eNodeB performs SCell configuration only when
the traffic volume of the CA UE meets the SCell activation conditions.
 CaTrafficTriggerSwitch is an option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch
parameter.

Permission
 After a UE accesses a cell (during initial access, a handover, or an RRC connection

re-establishment) and reports its CA capability to the eNodeB, the eNodeB checks
whether the number of UEs that treat the cell as their PCell has reached the value of
CaMgtCfg.CellMaxPccNumber. If the number has reached the parameter value, the
eNodeB prohibits SCell configuration for this UE. If the number has not reached the
parameter value, the eNodeB then checks whether the downlink aggregate maximum
bit rate (AMBR) of the UE has exceeded the threshold specified by
CaMgtCfg.CaAmbrThd. The eNodeB allows SCell configuration for this UE only if
the AMBR exceeds the threshold.
 In particular, if a CA UE reverts to the single carrier state after the number of UEs that
treat the cell as their PCell reaches the configured value, the eNodeB does not
immediately allow SCell configuration for another UE. The eNodeB allows SCell
configuration for other UEs only when the number of UEs that treat the cell as their
PCell falls below 90% of the configured value.

Permission
 If SccModA6Switch under the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter is on,

the eNodeB sends an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to a CA UE after
configuring an SCell for the UE. The message contains the A6 measurement
configuration for the SCC of the UE. The offset for event A6 is equal to the
CaMgtCfg.CarrAggrA6Offset parameter value specified for the PCell.
 After receiving an A6 measurement report from the UE, the eNodeB arranges the
reported candidate SCells in descending order of RSRP and proceeds as follows:
 If the PCell can set up a data link to the top-priority candidate SCell, the
eNodeB sends an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to change the
SCell for the UE.
 If the PCell cannot set up a data link to the top-priority candidate SCell, the
eNodeB tries the next-priority candidate SCell.
 If the PCell cannot set up a data link to any candidate SCell, the eNodeB does
not change the SCell for the UE.

Permission
 GbrAmbrJudgeSwitch is under the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.CaAlgoSwitch parameter.

Permission
 CE:control element
 AMBR: aggregate maximum bit rate
 If GbrAmbrJudgeSwitch is on, the eNodeB performs the following:
 If the UE has downlink GBR bearers in the PCell, the eNodeB checks the bit
rates of the downlink GBR services. The eNodeB activates the SCell for the
UE only if the bit rates do not reach the GBR.
 If the UE has downlink non-GBR bearers in the PCell, the eNodeB checks
whether the total rate of downlink non-GBR services on the UE has reached
the downlink AMBR. The eNodeB activates the SCell for the UE only if the
total rate has not reached the AMBR.
 If the UE has multiple bearers, each bearer is independently evaluated based
on the preceding criteria. As long as at least one bearer meets the preceding
criteria for SCell activation, the eNodeB activates the SCell for the UE.

Permission

Permission

Permission

Permission
 The eNodeB that serves the PCell of a CA UE removes SCells. The UE state
changes as follows:
 If the eNodeB removes the only SCell of a UE in the uplink or downlink 2CC
aggregation state, the UE falls back to the single carrier state.
 If the eNodeB removes an SCell of a UE in the downlink 3CC aggregation
state, the UE falls back to the downlink 2CC aggregation state. If the eNodeB
removes both SCells, the UE falls back to the single carrier state.
 If the eNodeB removes an SCell of a UE in the downlink FDD+TDD 4CC
aggregation state, the UE falls back to the downlink 3CC aggregation state. If
the eNodeB removes two SCells, the UE falls back to the downlink 2CC
aggregation state. If the eNodeB removes three SCells, the UE falls back to
the single carrier state.
 SccA2RmvSwitch:
 Indicates whether to deliver A2 measurement configurations for measuring a
secondary component carrier (SCC) after the SCC is configured. This option is
not subject to the setting of the FreqCfgSwitch option of the CaAlgoSwitch
parameter. If FreqCfgSwitch is Off and SccBlindCfgSwitch is On, the setting of
SccA2RmvSwitch does not take effect. The eNodeB delivers A2 measurement
configurations for measuring an SCC after the SCC is configured only when
SccA2RmvSwitch is On.

Permission
 The threshold for event A2 = CaMgtCfg.CarrAggrA2ThdRsrp +

CaGroupSCellCfg.SCellA2Offset.
 The above procedure is base on the precondition which is setting SccA2RmvSwitch
on.
 If SccA2RmvSwitch is off or the SCell was configured in a blind manner, the eNodeB
does not deliver the A2 measurement configuration.

Permission
 The threshold for event A2 = CaMgtCfg.CarrAggrA2ThdRsrp+

SccFreqCfg.SccA2Offset.
 The above procedure is base on the precondition which is setting SccA2RmvSwitch
on.
 If SccA2RmvSwitch is off, the eNodeB does not deliver the A2 measurement
configuration.

Permission
 CellMaxPccNumber
 Content: Indicates the maximum number of CA UEs that are allowed to use the cell's
carrier as the PCC. If the number of CA UEs using the cell's carrier as the PCC has
reached the parameter value, no more CA UEs can use the carrier as the PCC. A
smaller parameter value leads to fewer CA UEs that are allowed to use the cell's
carrier as the PCC. If this parameter is set to 0, no CA UE is allowed to use the cell's
carrier as the PCC but CA UEs can use the carrier as the SCC.
 Set this parameter through ADD CAMGTCFG/MOD CAMGTCFG.

 CaAmbrThd
 Content: Indicates the aggregate maximum bit rate (AMBR) threshold for aggregating
carriers for UEs. Carriers can only be aggregated for UEs whose AMBR values are
greater than the threshold. A larger value of this parameter leads to fewer UEs for
whom the carriers can be aggregated.
 Physical unit: Mbps

Permission
 SCellPriority
 Content: Indicates the priority of the candidate secondary serving cell (SCell). A larger
value of this parameter indicates a higher priority and results in a higher probability of being
configured as an SCell for carrier aggregation (CA) UEs.The value 0 indicates that this cell
cannot be configured as an SCell for CA UEs.
 Set this parameter through ADD CAGROUPSCELLCFG/MOD CAGROUPSCELLCFG.
 SCellBlindCfgFlag
 Content : Indicates whether this candidate secondary serving cell (SCell) can be configured
as an SCell for carrier aggregation (CA) UEs in a blind manner.
 In CA-group-based configuration mode, this parameter takes effect if the
SccBlindCfgSwitch option of the CaAlgoSwitch parameter is selected.
 If this parameter is set to TRUE(TRUE), the eNodeB can configure this candidate
SCell as an SCell for CA UEs in a blind manner, without delivering A4-related
measurement configurations to CA UEs.
 If this parameter is set to FALSE(FALSE), the eNodeB cannot configure this
candidate SCell as an SCell for CA UEs in a blind manner. The eNodeB must
deliver the A4 measurement configurations related to the operating frequency of
the cell to CA UEs before the eNodeB can configure the cell as an SCell.
 Value range: FALSE(FALSE), TRUE(TRUE)
 Physical value range: FALSE(FALSE), TRUE(TRUE)
Permission
 CarrAggrA4ThdRsrp
 Content: Indicates the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) threshold for a UE
to report event A4 of a secondary cell. When the RSRP of the UE is greater than the
threshold, event A4 is reported.

 SCellA4Offset
 Content : This parameter specifies the offset to CarrAggrA4ThdRsrp. When a CA UE
treats the cell specified by the LocalCellId parameter in the local eNodeB as its PCell,
the UE reports event A4 pertaining to the candidate SCell specified by the
SCelleNodeBId and SCellLocalCellId parameters to the eNodeB if the RSRP for the
candidate SCell exceeds the sum of the CarrAggrA4ThdRsrp and SCellA4Offset
parameter values. If the sum is greater than -43 dBm or less than -140 dBm, the
threshold for event A4 takes the value -43 dBm or -140 dBm, respectively.
 Value range: -35~62
 Physical value range: -35~62

Permission
 ActiveBufferDelayThd
 Content: Indicates the threshold for a CA UE to activate an SCell. A CA UE
can activate an SCell only when its buffer delay on the eNodeB exceeds this
threshold.
 Physical unit: ms

 ActiveBufferLenThd
 Content : Indicates the threshold for a CA UE to activate an SCell. A CA UE
can active an SCell only when its buffered data on the eNodeB exceeds this
threshold.
 Physical unit: kB

Permission
 CarrierMgtSwitch
 Content: Indicates whether to enable carrier management. If this parameter is
set to ON(On), the eNodeB deactivates the secondary serving cell (SCell) for a
CA UE when the traffic volume of the CA UE is small or the channel quality of
the SCell is poor. If this parameter is set to OFF(Off), the SCell is always
active after being activated, unless a radio link failure (RLF) is detected on the
SCell.
 Value range: OFF(Off), ON(On)
 Physical value range: OFF, ON

 DeactiveThroughputThd
 Content : Indicates the threshold for a CA UE to deactivate an SCell. A CA UE
can deactivate an SCell only when its throughput is smaller than the value of
this parameter.
 Physical unit: kbit/s

Permission
 DeactiveBufferLenThd
 Content: Indicates the threshold for a CA UE to deactivate an SCell. A CA UE
can deactivate an SCell only when its buffered data on the eNodeB is smaller
than this threshold.
 Physical unit: kB
 SccDeactCqiThd
 Content : Indicates the Release-8-equivalent CQI threshold used to evaluate
the deactivation of an SCell for a CA UE based on channel quality. If the
channel quality of the CA UE is lower than that corresponding to the CQI
threshold in single-codeword transmission, the eNodeB deactivates the SCell
for the UE. If this parameter is set to 0, the eNodeB does not deactivate SCells
based on channel quality. This parameter specifies the CQI threshold for
deactivating the SCell that the local cell acts as, and takes effect only when the
CarrierMgtSwitch parameter for the associated PCell is set to ON.

Permission
 CarrAggrA6Offset
 Content: Indicates the offset for secondary cell event A6. This offset is the
difference between the quality of a neighboring cell and that of the serving cell.
A large value indicates that a neighboring cell must have a better quality than
the serving cell for reporting the event A6.
 Physical unit: 0.5dB

 CarrAggrA2ThdRsrp
 Content : Indicates the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) threshold
for reporting event A2 in a secondary cell. When the RSRP of a UE is lower
than this threshold, event A2 is reported.

Permission
 SCellA2Offset
 Content: Indicates the offset to CarrAggrA2ThdRsrp. When a CA UE treats the
cell specified by the LocalCellId parameter in the local eNodeB as its PCell,
the UE reports event A2 pertaining to the candidate SCell specified by the
SCelleNodeBId and SCellLocalCellId parameters to the eNodeB if the RSRP
for the candidate SCell exceeds the sum of the CarrAggrA2ThdRsrp
and SCellA2Offset parameter values. If the sum is greater than -43 dBm or
less than -140 dBm, the threshold for event A2 takes the value -43 dBm or -
140 dBm, respectively.
 Set this parameter through ADD CAGROUPSCELLCFG/MOD

CAGROUPSCELLCFG.

Permission

Permission
 During initial access, an incoming handover, or an RRC connection re-establishment,

a CA UE reports its CA capability to the eNodeB after setting up an RRC connection
with the PCell. The eNodeB selects a suitable carrier as an SCC for the CA UE based
on the carrier deployment and the carrier management principles.
 This feature allows an eNodeB to select several of the most suitable carriers for CA.
The selections are based on the CA capability reported by the CA UE and carrier
management principles.
 From FDD carriers, an eNodeB can currently select either two or three carriers for CA.
 From TDD carriers, an eNodeB can currently select two, three, or four carriers for
FDD+TDD CA.
 This feature maximizes carrier utilization. It uses mobility load balancing (MLB) to
achieve efficient multi-carrier management.

Permission
 The CaUl2CCSwitch is under the CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter.

Permission
 The CaDl3CCSwitch is under the CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter.

Permission
 This feature allows a maximum of 60 MHz downlink bandwidth for a CA UE.

 By aggregating three intra- or inter-band carriers, operators can provide higher
bandwidths and improve service quality for UEs.
 This feature is dependent on the downlink CA capabilities of UEs and the setting of
CaDl3CCSwitch.
 The CaDl3CCSwitch is under the CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter.

Permission
 This feature is dependent on the downlink CA capabilities of UEs and the setting of
InterFddTddCaSwitch under the CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter.
 The InterFddTddCaSwitch is under the CaMgtCfg.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter.
 This feature deals with spectrum shortages by utilizing both FDD and TDD spectral
resources, addresses mobile broadband service competitions, and improves service
quality.
 If a frame offset is configured for a TDD cell, the same frame offset must be specified
for the FDD cells involved in CA.
 This feature works in typical scenarios and between eNodeBs in relaxed backhaul
scenarios. In typical scenarios, downlink 2CC, 3CC, or 4CC aggregation works.
However, in relaxed backhaul scenarios, only downlink 2CC aggregation between
macro cells works.
