TFRC / CQI

 

Figure: CQI Probability Statistic (Click to enlarge)


These measurement quantities are recorded during HSDPA simulations.
The CQI value is the channel quality measurement (based on pilot channel evaluation) generated in fixed intervals at each mobile station. The CQI generation interval can be specified and for all generated CQI values a histogram output is written per sector. The lifetime of a UE depends on the generated amount of data (session), system capacity, system load, and the serving process (e.g. scheduling). Therefore it might happen that it takes longer to serve UEs with poor channel conditions (C/I scheduling). In this case there might be many CQI measurements with bad channel conditions and consequently low CQI values.

 

During data transmission the transport format and resource combination (TFRC) has to be selected according to the actual channel conditions and other parameters. For each generated Transport Block the corresponding TFRC number is included in a histogram. Retransmitted Transport Blocks are not considered in the statistic. Each time a HSDPA UE performs a CQI measurement the determined CQI value is added to this statistic. The CQI measurement interval can be defined in multiples of a TTI for each HSDPA UE type individually.
