    ion DRX is a working mode (hereinafter referred to as DRX mode) of the UE. The UE enters tActive Time by turning on its receiver to receive the DL data and signaling only when necessary and enters the Sleep Time by turning off its receiver to reduce power consumption by no longer receiving any data in the rest of the time.

    In DRX mode, there arep state corresponding to Active Time and Sleep Time, resalways turns on its receiver and keeps working in active state.

    DRX is a mandatory featurz e for all UEs of the LTE standard.

    z The UE cannot enter the DRX mode unless it receives the related RRC signaling from the eNodeB. DRX mode, the UE turns on/off the receiver alternatively. The DRX mode, however, has no pact on the transmitter.

    z In DRX mode, the UE does not need to continuously monitor the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). Therefore, the reduction of power consumption helps to prolong the serving time of the UE.

    z In DRX mode, the eNodeB sends the control information to a UE only in the Active Time. This helps to save the resources and to increase the utilization of resources for the

    dencies on Other Features The DRX feature is closely related to other features.

    The intermittent disabling of the UE receiver may restrict some operations of the eNodeB,such as the delivery of the measurement configuration, report of the Channel Quality Indication (CQI), report of the Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) measurementscheduling. In this case, the eNodeB has to perform all these operations only in the DRX Active Time. At the same time, in DRX mode, the eNodeB is allowed to give up the UL synchronization with a UE when there is no data transmission for a long time.

    Interactions."

    Application The DRX feature is mainly applied in the following scenarios:

    Periodical and consecutive packet services, such as Voice over IP (Vz Services insensitive to the delay, such as the webpage browsing, email, and FTP.

    Services that generate small packets, such as the Presence service.

    The Presence service refers to the communication method that is used to acquire the Presence information about some users in real time by following a certain admission principle. Then, the acquired information is presented to other users. The Presence information can be the user state, communication capability, and personal preference. For example, the online alert function of MSN acts as a Presence service.

    3 DRX Technology 3.1 Princip

    ble DRX, you must configure the DRX parameters for the eNodeB through the M2000 or Web Local Maintenance Terminal (Web LMT). Then, the eNodeB can deliver the DRX

    the UE according to the algorithm at a proper time. After receiving the DRX para leep

    parameters to meters, the UE enters the DRX mode and switches between the active state and the s

    state.

    The DRX parameters configured for an eNodeB are applicable to all the cells within the eNodeB.

    Generally (see section 3.2.1 "Entering/Quitting the DRX Mode"), the eNodeB delivers the guration information to instruct the UE to enter or quit the DRX mode through the

    z On Duration is one part of the DRX cycle, during which the UE receiver is enabled. The duration oOn Duration is determined by the On Duration Timer. The DRX Active Time consists of the On Duration period and other periods during which the receiver is enabled because some of the DRX re

    3.2.3 priority appear. For details about the UE in the DRX Active Time, see section "SwitchovBetween the Active Time and the Sleep Time."

    The DRX cycle is classified into long DRX cycle and short DRX cycle. You can set the duration of the long DRX cycle and short DRX cycle through the LongDRXCycle and ShortDRXCycle parameters respectively, according to the QoS attributes of the service. After the UE enters the DRX mode, the long DRX cycle is always the firstly applied cycle wheDRX cycle starts. The long DRX cycle is mandatory and the short DRX cycle is optional. For the detailed configuration principles, see section 4.3 "Setting the DRX Cycle Duration."

    During the period of On Duration, if the UE decodes a PDCCH indicating an initial UL or Duser data transmission for itself, a DRX Inactivity Timer will be started. Before DRX Inactivity Timer expires, the UE keeps monitoring the PDCCH for another new initial transmission. The timer will be restarteThus, with the continual data transmission, a DRX Inactivity Timer is started or restarted repeatedly to extend the Active Time.

    When a DRX Inactivity Timer expires, the transmission of one stage is complete. However, it is possible that another stage of transmission occurs shortly after the moment. In this case, thUE can enter the short DRX cycle, if configured, to monitor the upcoming signaling messagein On Duration more frequently than the UE does in the long DRX cycle. Thus, the transmission delay is reduced. If the short DRX cycle is not configured, the UE continues toapply the long DRX cycle. If the UE receives nothing after working in the short DRX cycle for a certain period of time, the UE switches back to the long DRX cycle to save power consumption. The peritimer is the Dthe short DRX cycle.

    The UE enables the receiver only in the DRX Active Time, which determines that the working mode of the UE receiver and the other features are interdependent.

    z A shorter Active Time helps to make the UE more power-efficient, however, leads to more delay on data processing.

    In DRX mode, the eNodeB enables or disables the UL and DL resource scheduling based on the DRX state of the UE.

    z The data volume of the UE is extremely low. z The DRX cycle of the UE is equal to or shorter than the CQI cycle. z The moving speed of the UE is medium or low.

    Quitting the DRX Mode When any of the following conditions is satisfied, the eNodeB delivers the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message, where the DRX-Configuration IE is set to release, to the UE. Upon reception of this message, the UE clears all the DRX parameters on the local register and quits the DRX mode.

    z A service on the UE does not support DRX. z The data volume of the UE is relatively high. z The DRX cycle of the UE is longer than the CQI cycle. z The moving speed of the UE is high.

    In addition, if the DRXAlgSwitch parameter is set to OFF, the eNodeB orders the UE to quit the DRX mode when the UE triggers the DRX reconfiguration.

    In semi-persistent scheduling, the UE does not quit the DRX mode when the DRX cycle of the UE is longer than the CQI cycle. That is, the eNodeB does not decide whether to order the UE to quit the DRX mode based on the comparison result between the DRX cycle of the UE and the CQI cycle.

    3.2.2 Starting the DRX Cycle Entering the DRX mode does not mean that a DRX cycle will start at the moment. Actually, a DRX cycle begins at the subframe that meets the following conditions. Then, the UE can periodically enable or disable the receiver to reduce power consumption.

    z When the long DRX cycle is configured [(SFN x 10) + SSFN] modulo (LongDRXCycle) = DRX Start Offset;

    z When the short DRX cycle is configured [(SFN x 10) + SSFN] modulo (ShortDRXCycle) = (DRX Start Offset) modulo (ShortDRXCycle);

    In the formula, DRX Start Offset represents the time from which the long DRX cycle of the UE is started. (DRX Start Offset) modulo (ShortDRXCycle) represents the time from which the short DRX cycle of the same UE is started. In the formula, modulo represents complementation. The eNodeB delivers LongDRXCycle, ShortDRXCycle, and DRX Start Offset to the UE through the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message.

    3.2.3 Switchover Between the Active Time and the Sleep Time The switchover between the Active Time and Sleep Time may be influenced by the DRX-related timers and services.

    When a DRX cycle is configured, the Active Time includes the following periods of time:

    z The time when On Duration Timer, DRX Inactivity Timer, DRX Retransmission Timer, or Contention Resolution Timer is working. For more information on the timers, see Table 3-2.

    z The time when a Scheduling Request is pending. z The time when an uplink grant for a pending Hybrid Automatic Retransmission Request

    (HARQ) retransmission can occur. z The time when a PDCCH indicating a new transmission addressed to the UE has not

    been received after successful reception of a Random Access Response in the non-contention-based random access scenario.

    z In the plot of HARQ RTT Timer in Figure 3-3, the "HARQ DL raising" refers to one of the two

    HARQ DL transmission scenarios, which is the subframe where the semi-persistent DL data transmission is scheduled to start, or the subframe where the DL data transmission is to start (the UE learns this by monitoring the PDCCH).

    z The HARQ RTT Timer does not directly affect the DRX Active Time. It influences the DRX mode by influencing the DRX Retransmission Timer.

    z The frame formats in TDD mode are different from that in FDD mode. Therefore, the definition of PDCCH subframe in TDD mode is also different from that in FDD mode. In FDD mode, each radio subframe can carry the PDCCH, while in TDD mode, PDCCH subframe refers to the DL subframe and the subframe containing DwPTS. Figure 3-3 is also applicable to the TDD mode. However, the scales of the TTI axis of several related plots should be considered as the PDCCH subframes.

    3.2.4 Switchover Between Long DRX Cycle and Short DRX Cycle Even though the eNodeB delivers both long DRX cycle and short DRX cycle for the UE, the UE can only apply a single type of cycle at a time, i.e., either the long DRX cycle or the short DRX cycle.

    If the eNodeB delivers both the long DRX cycle and short DRX cycle to the UE, the UE can switch over between the long DRX cycle and short DRX cycle based on the following principles.

    Long DRX Cycle to Short DRX Cycle After the DRX Inactivity Timer expires, or the UE receives the DRX Command MCE from the eNodeB, the UE quits the long DRX cycle and applies the short DRX cycle.

    z Cycle switchover triggered by DRX Inactivity Timer In the following two scenarios, data transmission is most likely to happen. Thus, the UE should monitor the PDCCH frequently to reduce the service delay. The last packet of a consecutive data transmission is received. However, the next data

    transmission is not started after some time. The initial transmission of one packet of a consecutive data transmission is faulty,

    and the retransmission lasts for a long period of time, then the next initial transmission may occur after a certain period of time.

    In the preceding two scenarios, the UE may fail to receive the PDCCH indicating an initial transmission before DRX Inactivity Timer expires. After this timer expires, the UE applies the short DRX cycle if the eNodeB has configured the short DRX cycle for the UE. If the short DRX cycle is not configured, the UE applies the long DRX cycle.

    z Cycle switchover triggered by DRX Command MCE After the UE receives DRX Command MCE, the UE applies the short DRX cycle if the eNodeB has configured the short DRX cycle for the UE. If the short DRX cycle is not configured, the UE applies the long DRX cycle.

    Short DRX Cycle to Long DRX Cycle After DRX Short Cycle Timer expires, the UE applies long DRX cycle.

    3.2.5 RFSP Not all UEs need to use DRX to reduce power consumption. For example, data cards or UEs with sufficient power supply do not need DRX. The Subscriber Profile ID for RAT/Frequency Priority (RFSP) function enables the telecom operator to designate a UE as a data card or a UE with sufficient power supply through simple configuration. Through this function, a UE can be prevented from operating in DRX mode. Alternatively, the parameters that are specially designed can be used in DRX mode to reduce the service delay.

    On the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) side, the RFSP of a UE is an integer ranging from 1 to 256. The telecom operator defines the RFSP and binds the RFSP to the Mobile Station International ISDN Number (MSISDN) of the UE. When the UE accesses the EPC through the eNodeB, the RFSP of the UE is sent to the eNodeB through the INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message over the S1 interface.

    On the eNodeB side, the telecom operator can specify a collection of integer(s), known as NotEnterDRXRfspSet, ranging from 1 to 256 through the M2000/Web LMT. If the RFSP of a UE is equal to an integer in the collection, the eNodeB decides that the UE is of a special type (a data card or a UE with sufficient power supply).

    When the DRX switch is enabled, the eNodeB allows the UEs of the special type to work in DRX mode by specifying the specially designed parameters. In this case, the UEs of the special type adhere to the principles described in section 3.2.1 "Entering/Quitting the DRX Mode." The specially designed parameters are LongDRXCycleSpecial, OnDurationTimerSpecial, and DRXInactivityTimerSpecial, which are described in section 4.5 "Setting the DRX Parameters Related to RFSP."

    3.3 Feature Interactions This section describes the relationship between DRX and scheduling, HARQ, random access, measurement, CQI/SRS measurement and report, UL synchronization, and handover.

    Compared with other LTE features, DRX has a low priority. Therefore, the UE could enter Active Time whenever the services or procedures with higher priority occurred. After they were completed, the UE could return to Sleep Time. Note that CQI/SRS measurement and report are not subject to this rule.

    3.3.1 Dependency on Scheduling The eNodeB enables the resource scheduling for the UE only in the DRX Active Time. Note that in this case the system information and paging are not considered.

    For the UE working in DRX mode, it performs the Schedule Request (SR) operation once data appears in the UE buffer whether it is in Active Time or not. If the UE is in Sleep Time, it switches back to Active Time immediately and begins to monitor the PDCCH. After receiving

  • 3 DRX Technology eRANDRX

    3-12 Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd

    Issue 01 (2010-07-30)

    a PDCCH indicating an initial data transmission, DRX Inactivity Timer is started immediately. Thus, Active Time continues and the UE receives the required scheduling resources.

    3.3.2 Dependency on HARQ The priority of HARQ is higher than that of DRX. In other words, the UE can send or receive the HARQ feedback after the HARQ process is started whether the UE is in Active Time or not. Even if the UE is in Sleep Time, it immediately switches to the Active Time.

    3.3.3 Dependency on Random Access In the case of random access, the UE always responds to the random access request, whether it is in Active Time or not. In this case, the UE enables the receiver and enters Active Time upon reception of a random access request.

    3.3.4 Dependency on Measurement The priority of measurement is higher than that of DRX. Therefore, the priority is given to measurement if the configuration of measurement and DRX conflicts.

    For details on the measurement procedure in DRX mode, see the Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description.

    The measurement procedure of the UE in LTE standard can be divided into common measurement and Gap-based measurement. Common measurement is used for intra-frequency measurement. Gap-based measurement is used for inter-frequency measurement and inter-RAT measurement.

    Common Measurement In random access scenario, the UE enters Active Time and uses the first available Random Access Channel (RACH) to report the UL measurement report, whether the UE is in DRX Active Time or not.

    In other scenarios, the UE reports the measurement report in Active Time. If the UE is in Sleep Time, then it reports the measurement report in the Active Time of the next DRX cycle.

    Gap-Based Measurement In Gap-based measurement, Gap appears every 40 or 80 ms with the duration of 6 ms. To minimize the impact on data transmission, the eNodeB should make Gaps appear in the DRX Sleep Time or makes the configuration of DRX cycle meet the distribution of Gaps.

    Figure 3-4As shown in , Gap appears every 40 ms, and is six TTIs earlier than the DRX cycle. In Figure 3-4, the working status of On Duration Timer is used to represent the DRX cycle.

    Figure 3-4 DRX cycle and Gap-based measurement

    3.3.5 Dependency on CQI/SRS Measurement and Report In DRX mode, the periodical measurement and reporting of Channel Quality Indication (CQI) can be performed only in Active Time of the UE, and the CQI cycle affects the UE in entering or quitting the DRX mode (except in the case of semi-persistent scheduling).

    In DRX mode, the periodical measurement and reporting of Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) can be performed only in Active Time of the UE.

    If the UE is in Sleep Time, then the report of the CQI/SRS measurement has to wait till the DRX Active Time.

    3.3.6 Dependency on UL Synchronization The eNodeB should maintain the UL synchronization with the UE at the beginning of the UE DRX cycle.

    After the UE works in the DRX mode for a certain period of time and there is no data transmission, the eNodeB can give up the UL synchronization of the UE.

    If the UE needs to restore the UL synchronization later, it can obtain the UL synchronization through the random access procedure.

    3.3.7 Dependency on Handover In different stages of a handover, DRX is used in the following manners:

    z When the handover procedure starts: The source eNodeB sends the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to order the UE to quit the DRX mode. If the UE is in Sleep Time, it can receive the handover command only in the next Active Time.

    z If the handover succeeds: The UE cannot use the DRX feature if the DRX feature is disabled on the target eNodeB.

    z If the handover fails: The UE remains in the source cell and the eNodeB judges whether the UE can enter the DRX mode based on the selected scheme.

    DRXParaPerQCI

    DrxShortCycleTimer Indicates the length of the DRX short cycle timer. If this parameter is set to a large value, the UE follows the short DRX cycle, if configured, for a long time.

    DRXParaPerQCI

    EnterDrxSwitch Indicates whether the bearer with a QCI support the DRX feature. The value ON indicates that the bearer supports DRX. The value OFF indicates that the bearer does not support DRX. A UE can enter the DRX mode only when any bearer is running on it support DRX.

    DRXParaPerQCI

    LongDrxCycle Indicates the length of the long DRX cycle.

    DRXParaPerQCI

    ShortDrxCycle Indicates the length of the short DRX cycle.
