DTX and DRX for LTE
DTX/DRX means that the UE transceiver is switched off for some predefined time
periods

E-UTRA RRC
Air interface is
switched off Connected Mode DRX
for time
periods

eNodeB
Idle Mode DRX
This saves power on one side but might UE specific DRX
have the following consequences configured by NAS
Longer call setup time
Lower user throughput achievable

11 RA41334EN50GLA1 2014 Nokia Solutions and Networks. All rights reserved.


DTX and DRX for LTE
DRX options according 3GPP
- In Idle mode for Paging
This means that the UE is listening to page messages in predefined time opportunities
only and sleeping all other time

E-UTRA RRC
Connected Mode DRX
- In connected mode DRX configured by RRC

UE is switched off for predefined time interval


Discontinuous monitoring of DL control channel (PDCCH)
Allocations of resources done at specific times

Idle Mode
UE specific DRX
configured by NAS

12 RA41334EN50GLA1 2014 Nokia Solutions and Networks. All rights reserved.


DRX for Paging

The UE may use DRX in idle mode in order to reduce power consumption
One Paging Occasion (PO) is a sub-frame where P-RNTI may be transmitted on the
PDCCH addressing the page message
One Paging Frame (PF) is a radio frame, which may contain one or several Paging
Occasions
When DRX is used the UE needs to monitor just one PO per DRX cycle

13 RA41334EN50GLA1 2014 Nokia Solutions and Networks. All rights reserved.


Paging Related Parameters
Default paging cycle defPagCyg (LNCEL, 32rf/64rf/128rf/256rf, 128rf)
Defines the cell specific paging DRX cycle duration
Value 32rf corresponds to 32 radio frames, 64rf corresponds to 64 radio
frames and so on
One radio frame corresponds to 10ms in time
Increasing the parameter value saves battery capacity in idle mode as
listening to paging is less frequent. But the call setup time is getting longer
due to longer average paging time
Optionally an UE specific paging cycle length might be signaled by the core
network. In this case the UE follows the shorter of the two cycles

14 RA41334EN50GLA1 2014 Nokia Solutions and Networks. All rights reserved.


Paging Related Parameters
Number of paging occasions pagingNb (LNCEL,
oneT/halfT/quarterT/oneEighthT/oneSixteenthT/oneThirtySecondT,
quarterT)
Defines the number of possible paging occasions per radio frame, i.e. the
density of paging occasions
Used to calculate the number of paging occasions within one paging DRX
cycle, which in turn is used to calculate the paging occasions
Example: quarterT means that there is one page occasion every x paging
cycle

RL30

With extended DRX settings a UE may go Out of alignment due to the TAT expiring.
After the STIT expires the eNB no longer schedules the UE with TA info hence the TAT expires,
to move a UE back to in sync the UE is forced to TX via a PDCCH order

With SMART DRX (LTE585) UEes will use the short DRX cycle with at 16 (def) repititions (good
for TA) of the cycle, instead of the STIT. This gives the UE greater opportunity for battery savings
whilst maintain timing.

Objective

- Operator configures both maximum number of established RRC


connections and maximum number of active users per cell by
O&M threshold
RRC connection is established when the SRBs have been admitted and
successfully configured
UE is considered as active when Radio Bearer is established
Upper bound for maximum number of supported connections depends
on the BB configuration of eNB

- RAC algorithms controls establishment of

RRC Connection re -establishment

Motivation:
In a number of failure cases
Radio link failure
Handover failure
RLC unrecoverable error
Integrity check failure
RRC connection reconfiguration failure
the UE may initiate the RRC connection re-establishment procedure to continue the
RRC connection without going to RRC Idle mode.

Benefit:
Improve user experience despite of exceptional radio conditions
