MIMO Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is a technology that uses multiple
antennas for transmission and reception in a cell. mxn MIMO indicates that the
transmit (TX) side uses m antennas for transmission and the receive (RX) side uses
n antennas for reception.
This document describes multiple-antenna reception and transmission of the
eNodeB. Uplink MIMO is a multiple-antenna reception technology of the eNodeB,
and downlink MIMO is a multiple-antenna transmission technology of the
eNodeB.
In this document, multiple antennas used in MIMO refer to multiple TX or RX ports, not
multiple physical antennas.
2.2 Benefits
Uplink MIMO
Uplink 2-antenna receive diversity is a basic feature. Its benefits are not detailed
here.
Uplink 4-antenna receive diversity offers the benefits listed in Table 2-1.

by 3 dB to 5 dB.
Uplink MU-MIMO
Uplink multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) provides a higher average uplink
throughput than uplink receive diversity. Uplink MU-MIMO can offer obvious gains
when the following conditions are met:
● The PUSCH load is high. That is, the uplink physical resource block (PRB)
usage exceeds 90%.
● There are enough PDCCH resources for UE pairing. That is, the control
channel element (CCE) usage is less than 80%.
As more UEs are scheduled in uplink MU-MIMO, uplink coverage may deteriorate
and cell edge user (CEU) throughput may decrease when the network experiences
high interference.
Downlink MIMO
Benefits of downlink MIMO:
● For the benefits of downlink 2x2 MIMO, see Table 2-2.
● For the benefits of downlink 4x2 MIMO, see Table 2-3.
● For the benefits of downlink 4x4 MIMO, see Table 2-4. The downlink peak
throughput of downlink 4x4 MIMO is approximately twice that of downlink
2x2 MIMO.

MIMO Feature Parameter Description 3 Uplink MIMO
3 Uplink MIMO
Uplink MIMO is a multiple-antenna reception technology of the eNodeB. It has

two solutions: uplink multiple-antenna receive diversity and uplink MU-MIMO
(that is, multiple-antenna receive multiplexing). Figure 3-1 uses uplink 2-antenna
receive diversity and uplink 2x2 MU-MIMO as examples for illustration. Other
uplink multiple-antenna reception solutions are similar to the examples.
Figure 3-1 Uplink 2-antenna receive diversity and uplink 2x2 MU-MIMO
The reception mode of a cell used in multiple-antenna reception is specified by the

Cell.TxRxMode parameter, where Rx denotes reception and Tx denotes
transmission.
3.1 Multiple-Antenna Receive Diversity

This section describes the principles of multiple-antenna receive diversity. For
engineering guidelines, see 7 Engineering Guidelines.

eRAN
Multiple-antenna receive diversity requires the support of receivers. Maximum

ratio combining (MRC) receivers are provided by Huawei eNodeBs by default.
However, interference rejection combining (IRC) receivers are recommended. For
details, see Receiver Technologies.
3.1.1 LBFD-00202001 UL 2-Antenna Receive Diversity

Uplink 2-antenna receive diversity requires at least two receive (RX) channels. A
cell must work in at least 2R mode to implement this feature.
This feature uses the two channels to receive the same signals of a single UE from
different directions to improve signal reliability.
3.1.2 LOFD-001005 UL 4-Antenna Receive Diversity

Uplink 4-antenna receive diversity requires at least four RX channels. A cell must
work in at least 4R mode to implement this feature.
This feature uses the four channels to receive the same signals of a single UE from
different directions to improve signal reliability.
3.2 Multiple-Antenna Receive Multiplexing

This section describes the principles of multiple-antenna receive multiplexing. For
engineering guidelines, see 7 Engineering Guidelines.
Multiple-antenna receive multiplexing implements uplink MU-MIMO based on the

hardware used for multiple-antenna receive diversity. For example, uplink 2x2 MU-
MIMO requires at least two RX antennas while uplink 2x4 MU-MIMO requires at
least four RX antennas.
3.2.1 LOFD-001002 UL 2x2 MU-MIMO

Uplink MU-MIMO is controlled by the UlVmimoSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UlSchSwitch parameter. To enable this feature in a cell, select this
option and ensure that the cell works in at least 2R mode. When the channel
conditions of UEs are favorable, 2x2 MU-MIMO can be performed for the UEs.
The eNodeB attempts to pair UEs in each transmission time interval (TTI). If the
pairing succeeds, the eNodeB performs 2x2 MU-MIMO.
UE Selection
In each TTI, the eNodeB schedules UEs in sequence. If all resources are used up
but some UEs are still not scheduled, the eNodeB attempts to pair unscheduled
UEs with scheduled UEs.
Pairing Judgment
Based on the pre-pairing signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and inter-
UE channel correlation, the eNodeB calculates the post-pairing SINR and then
calculates the post-pairing spectral efficiency.

eRAN
If the total post-pairing spectral efficiency of two UEs is higher than the total pre-
pairing spectral efficiency, the eNodeB pairs the two UEs. Otherwise, the eNodeB
does not pair the two UEs.
3.2.2 LOFD-001058 UL 2x4 MU-MIMO

Uplink MU-MIMO is controlled by the UlVmimoSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.UlSchSwitch parameter. To enable this feature in a cell, select this
option and ensure that the cell works in at least 4R mode. When the channel
conditions of UEs are favorable, 2x4 MU-MIMO can be performed for the UEs.
The eNodeB attempts to pair UEs in each TTI. If the pairing succeeds, the eNodeB
performs 2x4 MU-MIMO.
The pairing principles of 2x4 MU-MIMO are the same as those of 2x2 MU-MIMO.
For details, see 3.2.1 LOFD-001002 UL 2x2 MU-MIMO.

4.1 Downlink Transmission

This section discusses downlink MIMO on the eNodeB side. For more details, see
section 7.1 "UE procedure for receiving the physical downlink shared channel" in
3GPP TS 36.213 V10.6.0.
Downlink Transmission Procedure

Figure 4-1 illustrates the downlink transmission procedure in the logical and
physical aspects:
● The process up to "CRS port" involves transmission solutions and transmission

modes in the logical aspect.
● The process from "CRS port" onwards involves mapping between cell-specific
reference signal (CRS) ports and physical TX channels.
The number of CRS ports cannot exceed the number of configured TX channels.
Figure 4-1 Downlink transmission procedure
The following explains the MIMO-specific concepts introduced in Figure 4-1:
● Codeword
Different codewords represent different data streams. LTE supports a
maximum of two codewords.

eRAN
When two or more antennas are available at both the TX and RX ends, the
number of codewords depends on radio channel conditions and UE categories.
Dual-codeword transmission is mainly used in scenarios with high SINRs, low
channel correlations, and UE categories of 2 or above.
● Rank
If the codeword rank is 1, the eNodeB typically uses transmit diversity.
Alternatively, the eNodeB can use transmission mode 6 (TM6), which is a
special form of closed-loop spatial multiplexing in rank 1.
If the codeword rank is greater than 1, the eNodeB uses spatial multiplexing.
● Layer mapping and precoding
Layer mapping and precoding are used to map codewords onto CRS ports.
– In layer mapping, codewords are mapped onto layers. The number of
layers (also called MIMO layers) is determined by the rank. The
maximum number of layers is determined by the number of CRS ports, as
shown in Table 4-1.
– In precoding, layered data streams are mapped onto CRS ports.
● CRS port
CRS ports are logical antenna ports. According to protocols, a cell can be
configured with one, two, or four CRS ports. The number of CRS ports is
specified by the Cell.CrsPortNum parameter. Table 4-1 describes the logical
antenna ports used as CRS ports.
Table 4-1 Logical antenna ports used as CRS ports

Number of Logical Antenna Ports Description
CRS Ports
1 Port 0 The eNodeB can select only

single-codeword
transmission, which is not a
MIMO solution.
2 Ports 0 and 1 A maximum of two layers

can be selected.
4 Ports 0, 1, 2, and 3 A maximum of four layers

can be selected.
Example
Figure 4-2 illustrates layer mapping and precoding when the number of CRS ports
is four.

eRAN
Figure 4-2 Example of layer mapping and precoding
4.1.1 Transmission Solutions and Modes

Once the number of CRS ports has been determined, the transmission solution
then depends on the transmission mode.
Table 4-2 describes the available transmission solutions with two CRS ports in
different transmission modes.

4.1.2 Transmission Mode Configuration

Transmission modes in random access and in subsequent scheduling are
configured using different parameters. The former is called initial transmission
modes and the latter is called transmission modes in scheduling.
4.1.2.1 Initial Transmission Modes

Initial transmission modes are determined by the following parameters:
● CellMimoParaCfg.InitialMimoType: specifies an initial transmission type.

● CellMimoParaCfg.MimoAdaptiveSwitch: specifies whether to use an
adaptive transmission mode.
● CellMimoParaCfg.FixedMimoMode: specifies a fixed transmission mode.

TM2, TM3, TM4, and TM6 are configured by the following parameters:
● CellMimoParaCfg.MimoAdaptiveSwitch: specifies whether to use an
adaptive transmission mode.
● CellMimoParaCfg.FixedMimoMode: specifies a fixed transmission mode.

TM9 and TM10

TM9 or TM10 is recommended in low-speed cells if a certain proportion of UEs
supports TM9 or TM10. TM9 and TM10 are controlled by the TM9Switch and
TM10Switch options of the CellAlgoSwitch.EnhMIMOSwitch parameter,
respectively. TM9 and TM10 cannot be enabled simultaneously for a cell.

eRAN
● TM9 is suitable for 2T cells with adaptive single frequency network (SFN)
enabled and 4T cells with multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) enabled.
● TM10 is suitable for 4T cells with adaptive SFN enabled.
For the applications of TM9 and TM10 in adaptive SFN cells, see SFN. For details
about MU-MIMO in TM9 in 4T cells, see eMIMO.
4.1.3 CRS Port Mapping

CRS port mapping is required in cells working in at least 4T mode. Signal
correlations between antennas vary with polarization directions. Mapping CRS
ports onto TX channels can optimize signal correlations.
Mapping CRS ports onto TX channels means mapping CRS ports onto RRU TX/RX ports. The
sequence of these ports is fixed. For details, see RRU hardware description.
CRS port mapping is controlled by the Cell.CrsPortMap parameter. By adjusting

this parameter, you can change the mapping between CRS ports and TX channels.
The following uses a 4T4P cell (a cell with four TX channels and four CRS ports) as
an example to describe CRS port sequence and CRS port mapping configuration.
CRS Port Sequence

Figure 4-3 illustrates the default and recommended configurations for a 4T4P cell
on the assumption that the physical antennas are installed in non-cross mode.
● The default configuration refers to the default mapping between CRS ports
and TX channels. It is used when the Cell.CrsPortMap parameter is set to
NOT_CFG(Not configure).
For a remote radio unit (RRU) working in 4T mode, CRS ports 0, 1, 2, and 3
are mapped onto TX channels A, B, C, and D, respectively.
For two combined 2T RRUs, CRS ports 0, 1, 2, and 3 are mapped onto TX
channels A, B, A, and B, respectively.
● The recommended configuration is as follows:
– For a 4T RRU, set the Cell.CrsPortMap parameter to 4T4P_0321,
mapping CRS ports 0, 1, 2, and 3 onto TX channels A, D, C, and B.
– For combined 2T RRUs, set the Cell.CrsPortMap parameter to
4T4P_0213, mapping CRS ports 0, 1, 2, and 3 onto TX channels A, A, B,
and B.

eRAN
Figure 4-3 RRU-antenna connection in non-cross mode
For a 4T RRU and two combined 2T RRUs, the same Cell.CrsPortMap parameter
setting results in different CRS port sequences on RRU hardware.
● For a 4T RRU, the digital sequence specified by the parameter indicates the
CRS port sequence on channels A, B, C, and D. However, the default channel
sequence on RRU hardware is ACDB.
● For two combined 2T RRUs, the digital sequence specified by the parameter
indicates the CRS port sequence on channels A, B, A, and B.
For example, if the Cell.CrsPortMap parameter is set to 4T4P_0213, then:
● For a 4T RRU, the theoretical channel sequence and CRS port sequence are
. However, the actual sequences are .

● For two combined 2T RRUs, the theoretical channel sequence and CRS port
sequence are . The actual sequences are the same as the theoretical
sequences.

Table 4-6 lists the Cell.CrsPortMap settings and the actual CRS port sequences
corresponding to the default channel sequences on RRU hardware.

This section describes the principles of downlink 2x2 MIMO. For engineering
guidelines, see 7 Engineering Guidelines.
Downlink 2x2 MIMO can be implemented only for UEs with two RX antennas in a
cell with at least two CRS ports.

7.1 When to Use

Uplink MIMO and downlink MIMO are generally deployed for a cell at the same
time. Therefore, this chapter provides engineering guidelines for both uplink
MIMO and downlink MIMO as a whole, not for specific features one by one.
Multiple transmission/reception (TX/RX) modes can be configured for cells in
practice. The modes listed in Table 7-1 are used as examples to describe the
feature deployment procedures.

Uplink Multiple-Antenna Receive Diversity and Downlink MIMO

Cell TX/RX modes are determined by the capabilities of hardware such as sector
equipment and antennas. For details, see Cell Management.
As cell TX/RX modes (2T2R or 4T4R) depend on hardware, this section does not
provide specific deployment suggestions on uplink multiple-antenna receive
diversity and downlink MIMO.

eRAN
Uplink MU-MIMO
Uplink MU-MIMO can offer obvious gains when the following conditions are met:
● The PUSCH load is high. That is, the uplink physical resource block (PRB)
usage exceeds 90%.
● There are enough PDCCH resources for UE pairing. That is, the control
channel element (CCE) usage is less than 80%.
7.2 Required Information

None
7.3 Planning
7.3.1 RF Planning
For the TX/RX capabilities of RF modules, see Hardware Description in product
documentation.
7.3.2 Network Planning
Common Networking Requirements

To ensure performance, MIMO has the following requirements:
● Downlink 2x2 MIMO requires that TX channels be connected to physical

antennas in different polarization directions.
● Downlink 4x2 MIMO and 4x4 MIMO require that the feeders between
physical antennas and RRUs be of the same type, the feeders be shorter than
75 m, and the length difference between the feeders be less than 1 m.
● Uplink 4-antenna receive diversity requires that the feeders between physical
antennas and RRUs be of the same type and the length difference between
the feeders be less than 1 m.
● If two antennas are combined for use, both uplink MIMO and downlink
MIMO require that the antennas have the same azimuth and downtilt angle.
Network Reconstruction Requirements

Adjust antennas for 4T4R in the following scenarios:
● Reducing the antenna installation space

Replace the original separated antennas with an integrated antenna, as
shown in Figure 7-1. When using an integrated antenna for cells 1 and 2 in
state 1, adjust the downtilt angles and azimuths, making them consistent
between the cells.

eRAN
Figure 7-1 Reconstruction for reducing the antenna installation space
● Utilizing the original antennas

When only two antenna ports are assigned to the original cells, use two more
antenna ports for the new 4T4R cell, as shown in Figure 7-2.
– In case 1 of state 3 (where each 2T2R cell is changed to a 4T4R cell),
adjust the antenna downtilt angles of at least one cell. The downtilt
angles must be consistent between the two cells so that the signals of all
antennas can be combined.
– In case 2 of state 3 (where cell 2 is changed from 2T4R to 4T4R), adjust
the antenna downtilt angles of cell 2 to the same direction so that the 4T
effects can be ensured.
Figure 7-2 Reconstruction for utilizing the original antennas
In Figure 7-1 and Figure 7-2:

● From state 1 to state 2, there may be no gains or even performance loss
during the adjustment of downtilt angles and azimuths.

eRAN
To achieve an overall improvement on 2T2R, ensure that the basic

performance does not deteriorate during the adjustment.
● From state 2 to state 3, there will be gains after 4T4R is deployed.
7.3.3 Hardware Planning

Sector Planning
Sectors can be set up in the following ways:
● One sector is set up on one RF module.
● One sector is set up on two RF modules that support the same frequency
band.
● Multiple sectors are set up on one RF module.
Figure 7-3 illustrates sector setup, where RRUs are used as RF modules and one
cell is established in each sector. For the cell setup procedure, see Cell
Management.

eRAN
Figure 7-3 Sector setup
For example, a sector can be set up for a 2T2R cell on:

● One 2T2R RRU
● Two 1T2R RRUs (redundant RX channels can be provided for other cells)

eRAN
● One RRU with more than two TX or RX channels, where only two TX channels
and two RX channels are provided for this cell and the other TX or RX
channels can be provided for other cells.
Similarly, sectors can be set up on appropriate RRUs for cells in other TX/RX
modes.
RRU Planning
Table 7-2 shows the restrictions on RRU combination and splitting in different
TX/RX modes.
Table 7-2 Restrictions on RRU combination and splitting

TX/RX Mode Restriction on RRU Restriction on RRU

1T2R N/A If a 2T4R or 4T4R RRU is

used, a 1T2R cell can be
set up only on channels
A and C or channels B
and D. The cell cannot
be set up on channels A
and B.
2T2R N/A If a 2T4R RRU is used, a

2T2R cell can be set up
only on channels A and
B.
If a 4T4R RRU is used, it
is recommended that a
2T2R cell be set up on
channels A and C, B and
D, or A and B.
2T4R Two RF modules of some N/A

models cannot be
combined to serve a
2T4R cell. These models
are RRU3201, RRU3203,
RRU3808, and LRFU.
Two MRFUd modules can
be combined to serve a
2T4R cell. The
recommended
configuration is 2T2R
+0T2R.
BBU Planning
If a cell is set up on an LBBPc, the number of CRS ports is equal to the number of
physical antennas and the Cell.CrsPortNum parameter does not take effect. For

eRAN
example, if the LBBPc is configured to support 2T mode, the number of CRS ports
is 2, regardless of the Cell.CrsPortNum parameter value.
7.4 Deployment
7.4.1 Requirements
Other Features
For details, see 5 Related Features.
Hardware
The TX/RX capabilities of cells depend on the TX/RX capabilities of BBPs. For the
TX/RX capabilities of BBPs, see Hardware Description in product documentation.
To implement MIMO, the operator also needs to consider capacity license. Each
BBP is licensed by default to provide two baseband TX channels and two baseband
RX channels for each cell. Each RF module is licensed by default to provide two RF
TX channels and two RF RX channels.
Therefore, a 2T2R cell does not require additional channel licenses. For a 4T4R cell,
the operator needs to purchase the license for the items listed in Table 7-3.

cell bandwidth license. For details about what and how many license control items
are required, see License Management.

7.4.2 Hardware Adjustment

MIMO performance is highly dependent on RRU-antenna connections. This section
provides the typical RRU-antenna connections for 2T2R and 4T4R cells.
2T2R Cells
Figure 7-4 uses a 2T2R RRU as an example to illustrate the recommended non-
cross connection. Downlink 2x2 MIMO requires that TX channels be connected to
physical antennas in different polarization directions.

using the Cell.CrsPortMap parameter after the RRUs and antennas are connected
through feeders, as described in 4.1.3 CRS Port Mapping. Non-cross connections
are recommended, as shown in Figure 7-6 and Figure 7-7.

SRSCFG 111305 l SrsCfgInd parameter is set to
Manag BOOLEAN_TRUE(True). If the FddSrsCfgMode
ement parameter is set to DEFAULTMODE(Default
Virtual Mode), SRS resource allocation is activated by
4T4R default after a cell is established, and SRS
resources are allocated to UEs that access the
cell. If this parameter is set to
ADAPTIVEMODE(Adaptive Mode), SRS resource
allocation can be adaptively activated or
deactivated based on the cell load. After this
parameter is set to ADAPTIVEMODE(Adaptive
Mode), settings of parameters SrsAlgoSwitch,
SrsSubframeCfg, and UserSrsPeriod do not take
effect. The parameter value
ADAPTIVEMODE(Adaptive Mode) is
recommended in heavy-traffic scenarios where
there is a large number of UEs in the cell. The
parameter value ADAPTIVEMODE(Adaptive
