3 Overview

Smartphones are mainstream terminals in the wireless communications networks. Some

smartphones can cooperate with the network according to the current service characteristics to
ensure better user experience and better power saving performance.

NOTE

Unless otherwise specified, smartphones and UEs described in this document refer only to iPhones in an
iOS version of 10.2 or later.

4 Smartphone App-Aware Coordinated

Control

4.1 Principles
An iPhone sets up a specific connection with a Huawei eNodeB during its access. This
process is called handshake. After a handshake succeeds, coordinated control functions can be
implemented. For example, the iPhone can flexibly request a specified group of DRX
parameters from the network, request the network to migrate the iPhone to idle mode, or
allow the network to quickly transmit data for background services (such as file upload and
download) during off-peak hours. This improves the power saving performance of iPhones
and user experience. Figure 4-1 shows the working process.

Figure 4-1 Coordinated control process

4.1.1 Smartphone and eNodeB Handshake

When the UeCooperationPara.UEAwarePowerSavingSwitch parameter is set to ON, the
eNodeB will initiate a handshake procedure with iPhones. This procedure aims to identify
iPhones and complete capability negotiation, laying the foundation for subsequent
coordinated control.
Figure 4-2 shows how the handshake procedure between the iPhone and eNodeB works.

eRAN
Smartphone App-Aware Coordinated Control Feature
Parameter Description 4 Smartphone App-Aware Coordinated Control

1. When a UE initially accesses, re-accesses, or hands over to a cell under a Huawei

eNodeB, the eNodeB delivers an A2 Announcement Message along with an RRC
Connection Reconfiguration message containing measurement configurations. The A2
Announcement Message allows a UE to recognize Huawei eNodeBs and notifies the UE
that the eNodeB supports coordinated control functions for iPhones.
NOTE

l If event A2 or A3 parameters have been configured, the A2 Announcement Message and the
event A2 or A3 configuration are delivered to the UE simultaneously. If event A2 or A3
parameters are not configured, the A2 Announcement Message is separately delivered to the
UE.
l The difference between the A3-based inter-frequency A2 RSRP threshold
(InterFreqHoGroup.A3InterFreqHoA2ThdRsrp) or A4/A5-based inter-frequency A2 RSRP
threshold (InterFreqHoGroup.InterFreqHoA2ThdRsrp) and the inter-frequency A1/A2
hysteresis (InterFreqHoGroup.InterFreqHoA1A2Hyst) in the event A2 configuration must
be different from a specified threshold in the A2 Announcement Message. This specified
threshold is always -139 dBm.
l In the A2 Announcement Message used for handshake, the timeToTrigger and reportInterval
fields now indicate related information about the eNodeB software version. The information
varies with the software version.
2. The UE responds to the eNodeB with an RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete
message.
3. When the UE receives the A2 Announcement Message and it supports smartphone
awareness-based coordinated control functions, the UE determines whether to send a
proprietary Initial Message over a specified Media Access Control (MAC) channel
element (CE) to the eNodeB to shake hands with the eNodeB based on service needs.
This Initial Message includes the UE software version.
4. On receipt of the Initial Message, the eNodeB responds with a Handshake message
containing A2 and A3 handover threshold offsets. Coordinated control processing
operates only after the handshake between the eNodeB and UE is successfully
completed.
NOTE

The UE uses the A2 and A3 handover threshold offsets to request the eNodeB to restore the
default DRX parameter settings.

4.1.2 Device-Pipe Coordinated Control Functions for

Smartphones

4.1.2.1 DRX Techniques for Smartphones

With this feature, iPhones can flexibly request different DRX parameter groups from the
eNodeB based on different service types, thereby conserving UE power and ensuring user
experience. Non-iPhone UEs use DRX parameter groups only for a specific QCI of the
desired service. These UEs cannot adapt to different DRX parameter groups for various
services of identical QCI based on service types, creating inequality between end-user service
experience and UE power conservation.

4.1.2.1.1 DRX Parameter Request for Smartphones

After successfully shaking hands with the eNodeB, the smartphone can request a tailored
DRX parameter group from the eNodeB. Figure 4-3 illustrates the procedure.

Figure 4-3 DRX parameter request for smartphones

1. The eNodeB determines whether the requested DRX parameters are specific to a DRX
algorithm.
– If the DRX parameters are specific to a DRX algorithm, the eNodeB proceeds with
2.
– If the DRX parameters are not specific to a DRX algorithm but, for example, to an
ANR algorithm, the eNodeB rejects the UE's request.
2. The eNodeB determines the number of bearers established for the UE and the bearer
type.
– If more than three bearers have been set up for the UE or if guaranteed bit rate
(GBR) bearers are set up for the UE, the eNodeB rejects the UE's request.

Parameter Description 4 Smartphone App-Aware Coordinated Control

– If three or fewer non-GBR bearers have been set up for the UE, the eNodeB
proceeds with 3.
3. The eNodeB determines whether a signaling procedure or VoLTE service is ongoing.
– If the eNodeB is processing a signaling procedure (such as CSFB, SRVCC, or
bearer setup) or VoLTE service, the eNodeB rejects the UE's request.
– If the eNodeB is not processing a signaling procedure or VoLTE service, the
eNodeB proceeds with 4.
4. The eNodeB determines whether the DRX feature is activated.
– If the DRX feature is deactivated, the eNodeB rejects the UE's request.
– If the DRX feature is activated, the eNodeB proceeds with 5.
5. The eNodeB selects DRX parameters requested by the UE and sends them to the UE
through an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message.
The following table lists the DRX parameter groups that the eNodeB tailors for
smartphones.

4.1.2.1.2 Fast Dormancy Requested by Smartphones

In a heartbeat detection scenario, a UE can send a Fast Dormancy request to the eNodeB
immediately when data transmission is complete. The UE sends this request to enter idle
mode and reduce power consumption. Figure 4-4 shows the Fast Dormancy procedure.

Figure 4-4 UE-requested Fast Dormancy procedure

1. If the UE detects that a heartbeat detection service is ongoing, it immediately includes a

Fast Dormancy request in the RRC_CONNECTED DRX request message sent to the
eNodeB.
2. The eNodeB migrates the UE to idle mode through an S1 Release procedure.

4.1.2.2 Traffic-Aware CA Mechanism for Smartphones

After a smartphone accesses the network and successfully shakes hands with a Huawei
eNodeB, a traffic-aware CA mechanism can be implemented between the smartphone and the
eNodeB. This coordination mechanism enables the eNodeB to precisely activate and
deactivate secondary serving cells (SCells) for UEs for uplink and downlink services.

The coordination mechanism works as follows:

l After a UE sends a CA Enable flag to the eNodeB along with information about uplink
or downlink traffic volume, the eNodeB determines whether to activate traffic-aware CA
and SCells for the UE.
l After the UE sends a CA Disable flag to the eNodeB, the eNodeB deactivates the SCells
and keeps the SCells deactivated until the RRC connection for the UE is released or a
new CA Enable flag is received.

eRAN
Smartphone App-Aware Coordinated Control Feature
Parameter Description 4 Smartphone App-Aware Coordinated Control

NOTE

l iPhones of iOS11.0 and later support this mechanism.

l The traffic-aware CA mechanism requires that the CaInstantlyJudgeSwitch option of the
CAMGTCFG.CellCaAlgoSwitch parameter be selected. For details, see Carrier Aggregation.

4.1.2.3 Transmission Duration Prediction Mechanism for Smartphones

After a smartphone accesses the network and successfully shakes hands with a Huawei
eNodeB, a transmission duration prediction mechanism can be implemented between the
smartphone and the eNodeB to achieve smooth processing between transmission duration and
service quality.
The coordination mechanism works as follows:
1. If a UE regards that the current service is sensitive to transmission duration, it sends a
Current Load Information Request to the eNodeB along with the uplink or downlink
traffic volume.
2. After predicting the transmission duration for the service, the eNodeB informs the UE
about the transmission duration through a Transfer Time field in the response message.
3. The UE adopts smooth processing to achieve a balance between transmission duration
and service quality.
NOTE

iPhones of iOS11.0 and later support this mechanism.

4.1.3 eNodeB Processing for Smartphones in Special Scenarios

The eNodeB processes services of smartphones differently in some special scenarios. The
purpose is to balance eNodeB load and avoid other issues if the load is too high.

4.1.3.1 Support for Load Information Request

When performing background services (such as file transfers), a UE determines whether to
delay data transmission based on eNodeB load, thereby reducing the load on that eNodeB.
Figure 4-5 illustrates the Load Information Request procedure.

Figure 4-5 Load Information Request procedure

1. When a UE detects a background service, it queries the eNodeB load by sending a Load
Information Request message to the eNodeB.

Issue 01 (2018-04-10) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 12

eRAN
Smartphone App-Aware Coordinated Control Feature
Parameter Description 4 Smartphone App-Aware Coordinated Control

2. The eNodeB determines its load and informs the UE by sending a Load Information
Response message to the UE.
NOTE

eNodeB load can be determined by the CPU usage of the baseband processing units (BBPs),
uplink RB usage of its cells, downlink RB usage of its cells, and the average number of symbols
occupied by the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in its cells.
3. The UE determines whether to delay transmission or to transmit data immediately, based
on eNodeB load.

4.1.3.2 Termination of Coordinated Control in High Load or Exception Scenarios

Coordinated control requires MAC CE resources. The increased MAC CE messages will
increase eNodeB overhead, lower the eNodeB processing capability, and increase PDCCH
overhead. If the MAC CE usage is too high or if exceptions occur (for example, UEs
frequently send MAC CE messages), Smartphone App-Aware Coordinated Control must be
deactivated.
This is achieved by using the UeCooperationPara.UEForbiddenMsgThd parameter, which
limits the number of MAC CE messages sent by a UE within a 10s period. If the number of
MAC CE messages sent by a UE within a 10s period exceeds the value of this parameter, the
eNodeB will send an Announcement Override Command to the UE. Coordinated control
functions will then be disabled for the current UE connection.

4.2 Network Analysis

4.2.1 Benefits
Coordinated control can reduce power consumption of smartphones and provide a better user
experience. This function is applicable only to iPhones.

4.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
Coordinated control has the following network impacts:
l A UE requests a long DRX cycle from the network when performing sparse-packet
services (such as heartbeat packets of upper-layer applications). When non-sparse-packet
services are processed later, it takes longer for the UE to identify the service type and for
the network to reconfigure a short DRX cycle. This increases end to end (E2E)
transmission delay, and decreases the values of the following KPIs:
– User Downlink Average Throughput
– User Uplink Average Throughput
– Cell Downlink Average Throughput
– Cell Uplink Average Throughput
l The number of RRC_CONNECTED UEs decreases when UEs request fast dormancy
imposed by the network.
l If the eNodeB has configured a long DRX cycle for the UE, the number of sounding
reference signals (SRSs) received by the eNodeB within the time indicated by

Issue 01 (2018-04-10) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 13

eRAN
Smartphone App-Aware Coordinated Control Feature
Parameter Description 4 Smartphone App-Aware Coordinated Control

TimeAlignmentTimer.TimeAlignmentTimer decreases. This increases the probability

of out-of-synchronization between the eNodeB and UE. If such out-of-synchronization
occurs, resynchronization is required. The increased synchronizations cause the Service
Drop Rate to increase.
l If the eNodeB has configured a long DRX cycle for the UE, the eNodeB is more likely to
falsely detect scheduling requests (SRs) during the dormant period. After the eNodeB
schedules the UE based on the falsely detected SRs, it will receive discontinuous
transmission (DTX) messages from the UE. An increase in the number of DTX messages
causes the PDCCH aggregation level to rise, which increases the consumption of
PDCCHs as well as the initial block error rate (IBLER) and residual block error rate
(RBLER) in the downlink.
l Before a UE handover, the eNodeB will instruct the UE to reduce its DRX cycle. A UE
in the dormant state with a long DRX cycle may not immediately reduce this DRX cycle.
This delays handover measurement reporting and may decrease the Intra-Frequency
Handover Out Success Rate.
l If the long DRX cycle is set to a too large value, the eNodeB may not promptly send
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) or CSFB messages to an RRC_CONNECTED UE. This
occurs when the UE initiates a voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) or circuit
switched fallback (CSFB) procedure, or is called for a VoLTE or CSFB procedure. As a
result, the VoLTE or CSFB service setup delay increases.
l The Service Drop Rate may decrease if a large number of UEs initiate Fast Dormancy
requests and the network releases these UEs accordingly.
l The Average CPU Load increases as the eNodeB and UE frequently exchange extended
MAC CE and RRC Connection Reconfiguration messages with each other.

If any of the counters listed in Table 4-3 is not 0, the coordinated control functions have taken
effect.

4.4.3 Network Monitoring

l Method 1
Use a purpose built device such as an electricity meter to monitor iPhone power saving.
Expected result: The power saving effect is better than when DRX is activated but
coordinated control functions are not.
l Method 2
Obtain the proportion of time that UEs are dormant in a cell using the following formula:
Proportion of time that UEs are dormant = L.Cdrx.Sleep.TtiNum/
(L.Cdrx.Active.TtiNum + L.Cdrx.Sleep.TtiNum)
The value indirectly reflects the power saving effect of UEs. This method reflects only
the trend of gains delivered by DRX parameter adjustment. It cannot reflect the actual
power saving effect of UEs.
Expected result: The coordinated control functions have generated a positive gain if the
value calculated from the above formula increases, on condition that the quantity of
iPhones and the traffic model remain unchanged before and after the functions are
activated.

UeSpec ShortDr ADD LAOFD Smartph Meaning: Indicates the length of the short DRX cycle.
DrxPara xCycle UESPE -111208/ one According to 3GPP specifications, the length of a long
Group CDRXP TDLOF App- DRX cycle must be an integer multiple of that of a
ARAGR D-13140 Aware short DRX cycle. In addition, the actual value of
OUP 8 Coordin LongDrxCycle assigned to a UE may be less than the
MOD LBFD-0 ated configured value because of the impact of the SRS
UESPE 02017 Control bandwidth and TA period specified by the
CDRXP DRX TimeAlignmentTimer parameter. Therefore, the actual
ARAGR value of ShortDrxCycle assigned to a UE may be less
OUP than the configured value. This parameter applies only
to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
