LTE3125 Power Savings for UEs in RRC_IDLE especially for MTC • • • • •

The feature allows to extend the time period between paging paging occasion for UEs with according capabilities. New IEs are introduced for SIB1 (and SIB1bis): an operator configurable parameter to enable/disable eDRX operation in a cell and and a hyper SFN SFN IE (H-SFN). (H-SFN). The The H-SFN H-SFN is updated updated by the eNode eNode B each time time the SFN wrap wrapss around. around. An eDRX capable UE derives derives the paging paging occasion in a cell where where eDRX is enabled from the H-SFN and paging time window. • MME trigg triggered ered paging paging • The MME provides the eNode B with the the S1AP:Paging message with the paging time window and paging eDRX cycle for the according UEs. The eNode B takes the two parameter into account when sending the paging paging message at the air interface. Paging message might be stored as long as the buffer allows in the eNode B until the next paging occasion.

LTE2585 Enhances radio coverage analysis capabilities for multi-layer network environment • Inter-frequency UE periodic measurement of the type "RSC" for MDT purpose. • Only one frequency layer will be assigned per UE for periodic inter- frequency measurement task. • A dedicated frequency list (per MDT trace session ) is used for the frequency selection. The dedicated frequency list is maintained by O&M. • The frequencies in the list will be assigned to UEs in a round-robin mechanism. • Operator can select, if the MDT inter-frequency measurement should work with event e vent triggered measurement in parallel on one UE or not. • Follow LTE1308 rules

With LTE4066, eNB enables UL grant skipping skipping for dynamic grants in UE. UL grant skipping avoids interference impact and reduce UE battery impact of proactive UL grant assignment. LTE4066 also adds a DL triggered UL Proactive Grants mechanism, assigning grant proactively after a successful DL transmission. It is a new way to assign proactively UL grants, in addition to LTE815 Proactive UL Resource Assignment. With LTE4066, specific configuration parameters are used for UE supporting UL grant skipping for Proactive UL Resource Assignment and DL triggered UL Proactive Proactive Grant mechanisms. Typically, those specific parameters are set to have proactive UL grants assigned only or more frequently for UE supporting UL grant skipping compared to legacy UE.

not do padding, if they have nothing to transmit. RB of the skipped UL grant stay empty. eNB shall enable this mechanism. With LTE4066, eNB enables UL grant skipping skipping for dynamic grants in UE. UL grant skipping avoids interference impact and reduce UE battery impact of proactive UL grant assignment. LTE4066 also adds a DL triggered UL Proactive Grants mechanism, assigning grant proactively after a successful DL transmission. It is a new way to assign proactively UL grants, in addition to LTE815 Proactive UL Resource Assignment. With LTE4066, specific configuration parameters are used for UE supporting UL grant skipping for Proactive UL Resource Assignment and DL triggered UL Proactive Proactive Grant mechanisms. Typically, those specific parameters are set to have proactive UL grants assigned only or more frequently for UE supporting UL grant skipping compared to legacy UE.

LTE4088 Enabling Optimal 5G Non-Standalone Deployments with EPC • Option 3X for LTE-NR Dual Connectivity delivers support of NR Non-Standalone deployments with EPC, with minimal impact on existing LTE deployment. • Dual connectivity is established for Option 3X-capable UE that require non-GBR bearer with configurable QCI+ARP value in Initial Context Setup. Eligible bearer uses NR PDCP with 18 bits SN. • Eligible UE are dual connected to NR in a blind manner. Target NR Cell for Dual Connectivity is configurable per LTE cell. When dual-connectivity dual-connect ivity is active, one eligible bearer i s SN terminated split, other data bearers are MN terminated MCG. • In case of mobility and some other events, split SCG bearer is taken back in LTE and reconfigured as MCG. • LTE Carrier Aggregation is not enabled on DC-eligible UE.

common unit will be be max. kept or recovered, the the eNB capacity is reduced. • In case of one TRS link fails, all the traffic data are routed via another TRS link. • If no both sync sources, then the common unit w/o sync line will work in Holdover mode if the common unit cabled with sync source gets failure. • In case of both sync sources, the sync source is only switched with the common unit failover. The standalone sync resiliency (i.e. sync source failure only) is not supported with this feature.
