LTE568 DL Adaptive Closed Loop 4x2 MIMO overview

 DL Adaptive Closed Loop MIMO (4x2) is the DL transmission scheme using 4 TX

antennas and 2 RX antennas in the DL direction.
 It uses 3GPP Transmission Mode 4 (TM4) with switching between single and
dual codeword for PDSCH. DL control channels are transmitted using 4-way
Transmit Diversity (TM2).
 DL Adaptive Closed Loop MIMO (4x2) will increase the average cell throughput.
 As 4 antennas in DL are introduced, adopting 4-way Rx diversity schemes in the
UL is also recommended with the feature.
 4x2 Closed Loop MIMO extends already existing functionality CL MIMO 2x2 to the
case of 4 TX antenna deployment, improving cell capacity (average cell throughput)
and coverage at cell edge.

DL Adaptive Closed Loop 4x2 MIMO overview

 Introduction of the 4 antenna ports has two-fold impact - the extra 2 RS (Reference Signals) in DL
introduce additional overhead in the resource grid. On the other hand, the same extra 2 antennas
improve the transmit diversity conditions, making it more probable for the UE to report conditions
favorable to support 2 data streams.

Summary

Drive Test:

 4T2R-20W/Port gives best coverage as well as Throughput improvement among all

configurations.
 4X10W - Coverage reduction observed in 4X10 without RS boost.

OSS Statistics:

 Good Improvement observed in DL as well as UL KPI’s in all three configurations as

compared to 2T2R (2X20).

 KPIs like Throughput, CQI & MCS are best with 4X10 w/o RS boost. However with
reduction in coverage with 4X10W w/o RS boost there is ~15% payload dip as compared to
4X10W with RS boost.
