QRxLevMin Algorithm
➢ Decision on QRxlevmin performed only when RTWP exceeds allowable Noise Rise
➢ Qrxlevmin adjustment forces cell edge users to re-select a different layer or cells preventing
them from creating more interferences and reducing their access failures

RTWP Normal
Center UE Cell Edge UE
Path Loss Low High
UL Interference Normal Normal

UL UE Initial Tx Power Low Normal

UL UE Initial Power = f(Path Loss, UL Interference)

RTWP High

Conclusion
✓ CPICH Audit →
▪ All active 3 carrier have similar CPICH for Co-sector.
▪ Allow Dual carrier Configuration enabled for 2100 Band
▪ By Keeping Min Cpich 30 & Max 37 It can cover 99.9% of cells

✓ Less Congested cells

▪ Less than 10 cells observed as congested with defined threshold (1% -High)
▪ Power down of step 1 dbm configured for very high congested cells

✓ Load classification based on:

▪ HS power
▪ Code Power
▪ Power step down 0.5 db for loaded
▪ While 0.5 db step up for unloaded cells.
▪ No power change of Normal Classified cells.

✓ Qrxlevmin changes suggested for High RTWP Cells

✓ Qhyst2 Changes suggest as per load conditions
✓ 1 AM to 8AM Module will be off as no significant traffic load between these hours

✓ Single Site proposed test on any of below 2 sites as a NEXT STEP
