-
High MCS and No RBs: Checking for high Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) levels without Resource Blocks (RBs) being allocated.
-
Accurate MCS Allocation: Aligning MCS with reported Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) for efficiency.
-
DL & UL BLER: Ensuring Downlink (DL) and Uplink (UL) Block Error Rate (BLER) doesn’t exceed 10%.
-
Padding in MAC PDU: Identifying network data insufficiency through padding in the Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU).
-
RLC & PDCP Retransmissions: Measuring the volume of retransmitted data through Radio Link Control (RLC) and Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layers.
-
BSR and Allocated TB Size: Checking for Buffer Status Reports (BSR) and confirming the allocated Transport Block (TB) size.
-
RLF and RACH: Monitoring for Radio Link Failure (RLF) and Random Access Channel (RACH) indications.
-
PHR Insufficiency: Assessing if the Power Headroom Report (PHR) is sufficient.
-
Retransmission Protocol Dynamics: Observing if retransmissions are being properly handled or discarded.
-
CORESET Utilization: Verifying the use of Control Resource Set (CORESET) for downlink control information.
-
Link Imbalance: Evaluating link balance, especially when the User Equipment (UE) sends a Rank Indicator (RI) but the Reference Signals Received Power (RSRP) conditions are not met.
-
Antenna Imbalance: Ensuring the difference between the antennas doesn’t exceed 5 dBm.
-
Rank Indicator (RI): Checking the reported RI values for accuracy.
