The setup of live or trial I-HSPA network should follow the guidelines of HSPA radio and I-HSPA transport network
planning guides. Official planning guides can be found in IMS:

Example with 32 byte ping and HSUPA/16QAM: (65536 * 8) Kbps / 0.048 = 10.9 Mbps
In case RTT is close to the above values, but TCP troughput is poor, the most likely problem source is the ftp server or
the client PC.
Also, the max. packet size in the network should be verified as described below.
In case RTT values differ more than 20 ms of these values, here is a checklist
UE signal strength
o
Signal readings
Strength in dBm = in negative number - closer to zero the better (-70 or stronger)
Noise in dBm = in negative number - closer to -100 the better (-85 or higher)
Signal to Noise Ratio - higher number the better: signal/noise strength (15 or higher)
Ec/No in dB - closer to zero the better (-7 or stronger)
Verify the hops on the path to the ftp server with traceroute, example: tracert d x.x.x.x
o
is APN for Direct Tunnel mode or for two tunnel mode (user plane goes via SGSN). If
possible verify the hops by both APNs, direct tunnelling APN and two tunnel APN.

Optimum ftp server and ping target are directly connected to GGSN. Optimal hop count is
below five. The amount of router hops is directly linked to the RTT and thus to the available
throughput.
Verify the max. packet size with ping to the ftp server, example: ping x.x.x.x l 1500
