5G Coverage Expansion

In this post we will have a look at 5G Coverage Expansion.

There are many ways that can expand the 5G Coverage and this post/video discusses about the B1 Threshold which gives the simplest way to increase 5G coverage. However, the tuning of the B1 Threshold requires in-depth analysis because if the B1 Threshold is expanded excessively, then it can cause KPI degradation and user complaints.

5G Coverage Expansion

LTE Anchor eNB sends B1 Measurement Config to the UE.

If the UE finds an NR Cell above the B1 Measurement Threshold, it reports a B1 Measurement Report to the LTE Anchor which indicates that the UE is in 5G Coverage.

The LTE Anchor then initiates a 5G Connection (ENDC Setup) for this UE.
