ICIC Event A3/A6 Based on RSRP
Measurement
ICIC event A3 is used for reporting RSRP (Reference Signal
Received Power) measurement reports, based on which DL ICIC and
UL ICIC can determines the type of a UE in the serving cell.
ICIC event A3 is reported in event-triggered periodical reporting mode.

Edge Band Adjustment
If the static ICIC is used, edge bands sizes remain
unchanged and during the higher load, overlapping PRBs
may cause inter-cell interference.

Dynamic DL ICIC
If dynamic DL ICIC is enabled, the eNodeB allocates an
initial DL edge band to each cell based on the cell
bandwidth and edge band mode.

ID of the source cell

Dynamic DL ICIC (Cont.)
If the edge band of the cell is adjusted, during the dynamic
ICIC procedure, this cell notifies neighboring cells of this
adjustment. Based on this information neighboring cells
either expand or shrink their edge bands.

Dynamic UL ICIC
If dynamic UL ICIC is enabled, the eNodeB allocates an
initial UL edge band to each cell based on the cell
bandwidth and edge band mode.
Interference information

Dynamic UL ICIC (Cont.)
If the difference between the PRB number actually used by
CEUs and PRBs reserved for the edge band is excessively
large for a cell, the eNodeB triggers an edge band
adjustment. If the edge band of the cell is adjusted, the cell
transmits the updated HII messages to its neighboring cells.

Neighboring Cell List Management
Neighboring cell lists for UL ICIC are classified into two
levels: UE level and cell level.

OI Message Processing
An OI message provides information that the average
interference caused to all RBs in a cell is large. It also
provides the level of interference caused to each RB.

DL ICIC Deployment Strategy (1/3)
DL ICIC is not recommended if any of the following
situations occurs:
Operators have high requirements for cell capacity but low
requirements for cell coverage.
The total load of cells is high but the edge load is low.
There are only a few UEs in cells, and therefore the system
throughput is low after ICIC is enabled because of limited
power or frequency band.
Copyright © 2014 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page40
DL ICIC Deployment Strategy (2/3)
When the load of neighboring cells is approximately
balanced and the edge load is relatively low, static DL ICIC
can be used to allocate mutually orthogonal edge bands to
different cells for inter-cell interference mitigation.
Copyright © 2014 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page41
UL ICIC Deployment Strategy (1/4)
UL ICIC is not recommended if any of the following
situations occurs:
Operators have high requirements for cell capacity but low
requirements for cell coverage.
The edge load of most cells is low, that is, CEUs have a
relatively low RB usage or interference level.
Copyright © 2014 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page42
UL ICIC Deployment Strategy (2/4)
Static UL ICIC is recommended if any of the following
situations occurs:
The load of neighboring cells is approximately balanced.
Most cells have relatively low edge load, that is, the RB usage
of CEUs is not higher than one third of the system RB usage.
Copyright © 2014 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page43
UL ICIC Deployment Strategy (3/4)
Dynamic UL ICIC is recommended if the following situations
occur:
The load of neighboring cells is not balanced.
Copyright © 2014 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page44
UL ICIC Deployment Strategy (4/4)
Time-domain ICIC is applicable to intra-eNodeB cells, which
are time synchronized. If the frequency resources cannot
meet the requirements of CEUs in intra-eNodeB
neighboring cells with heavy edge load, time-domain UL
ICIC can be applied to improve the effect of UL ICIC.
