(Pa, Pb) setting analysis

When network load is low, UE interference is mainly from neighbor cell RS channel
Since now network load is low, if change RS power and (Pa, Pb) from existing (21.2,-3,1) to (18.2,0,0), then it will be better for PDSCH
power in serving cell, while reduce interference from neighboring cell RS channel.
Neighbor RS channel interference will impact data
quality on serving cell B symbol.
Neighbor data will also be interference to serving
RS. Data demodulation is based on RS channel
quality estimation, so accuracy on RS quality will
impact all data sub channel.

Pa -3 / Pb 1

Pa 0 / Pb 0

Pro

1 High RS mapping to large coverage

2 When network load is medium and above (PRB utilization > 20%), high RS
will help UE on access and mobility

Con

1 RSRP will be 3dB lower

When network load is low (PRB utilization > 20%), data channel interference is
major from neighbor cell RS channel. High RS will impact overall DT
2 SINR reduce by ~2dB (PDSCH data channel SINR remain)
throughput.

Better throughput experience when low load

(Pa, Pb) and RS power trial result (cluster 4)

Throughput in cluster 4 improved as expected, considering variably of the test sample, actual thorughput improvement
shall be 5% - 10%. When we use Pa,Pb (0,0) in the same SINR condition, we get better throughput.
