Volte Packet Segmentation

Packet segmentation divides uplink data packets into smaller segments that are transmitted over multiple transmission time intervals (TTIs) to improve cell edge performance for users experiencing poor radio conditions. This allows the use of more robust modulation and coding schemes but increases overhead and resource consumption as control information needs to be transmitted for each packet segment. The extent of segmentation can be configured through parameters that set the minimum transport block size per TTI and minimum physical resource block allocation per user.

LTE571: Packet Segmentation

• Packet Segmentation algorithm is used as an extension to the uplink link adaptation to improve the UL cell
edge performance.
- In worsening radio conditions scheduler performs packet segmentation on Layer 2 in order to use more
robust MCS and transmits the packet over multiple TTIs.
- Since RLC/MAC overhead is transmitted more than once, more resources are consumed to transmit the
same amount of user data.
- As number of transmitted packets increases, more resources on PDCCH are utilized and also on PHICH due
to transmission of ACKs/NACKs for HARQ purposes.

Controlled UL packet segmentation means that the extent of segmentation may be configured by
• ulsMinTbs defines the minimum amount of data a UE can send in a TTI. The lower this setting is, the
higher the number of segments a packet can be divided in. This will increase user robustness by
increasing the energy per packet, but more radio resources are consumed due to increased RLC/MAC
overhead.
• ulsMinRbPerUe defines the minimum number of PRBs that can be occupied by UE which is power
limited.It prevents the UE of being allocated a too low number of PRBs.

Packet segmentation is not an event-triggered mechanism, it is done automatically and only for UEs
with poor radio channel.
