eUtranCell

The eUtranCell table models a geographical area of radio coverage that is implemented and supported by physical radio equipment, such as towers, amplifiers, and antennas.

The following tables describes the eUtranCell table.
Table 1. eUtranCell table
Column name Type Constraints Description
entityId Integer FOREIGN KEY

NOT NULL

The identifier of an eUtranCell entity from the entityData table.
eUtranCellId 64-character string NOT NULL Uniquely identifies a cell within a PLMN. It is often constructed from eNodeB ID + Physical Cell ID.
eUtranCellName 64-character string NOT NULL Cell identifier or name of the cell.
physicalCellID Integer   Physical cell identifier. Takes a value in the range 0 to 503. The physical cell id is used by the cell to encode and decode the data that it transmits. It is used in a similar way to the UMTS scrambling code. To avoid interference, neighboring cells should have different physical cell identifiers. The physical cell id is derived from the primary and secondary synchronization signals (PSS and SSS). The PSS takes a value from 0 to 2, the SSS takes a value from 0 to 167, and the physical cell id is determined based on the following formula:
PSS + 3*SSS
The result of this calculation equates to a value of between 0 and 503.
localCellId Integer   Local cell id unique within the eNodeB.
emsDistinguishedName 255-character string   Distinguished name by which the eUtranCell is known to its element management system (EMS).
channelBandwidthUI Integer   Uplink channel bandwidth. Takes one of the following values in MHz
  • 3
  • 5
  • 10
  • 15
  • 20
channelBandwidthDI Integer   Downlink channel bandwidth. Takes one of the following values in MHz
  • 3
  • 5
  • 10
  • 15
  • 20
maximumOutputPower Float   Maximum power in Watts for the sum of all downlink channels that are allowed to be used simultaneously in a cell.
userCapacity Integer   Maximum number of pieces of user equipment (UEs) that can connect to this eUtranCell simultaneously.
earfcnDl Integer   E-UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (downlink). An integer value which identifies the downlink carrier frequency of the cell.
earfcnUl Integer   E-UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (uplink). An integer value which identifies the uplink carrier frequency of the cell.
TAI 64-character string   Tracking area identifier of the cell. This corresponds to the value stored in the NCIM trackingArea table.
operationalState Enumeration   Operational state of the LTE cell. Takes one of the following values:
  • Enabled
  • Disabled
  • Other
  • Unknown
administrativeState Enumeration   Administrative state of the LTE sector. Takes one of the following values:
  • Unlocked
  • Locked
  • Shutting Down
  • Other
  • Unknown
