Background
Problem
• The RTWP is abnormally high in many offices globally, especially in
heavy-traffic cells. This problem affects user service experience and
network KPI very much.
• Coverage shrink: The edge users in the cell cannot initiate services,
especially CS services. The call drop rate increases.
• User experience: The RTWP increase exceeds the HSUPA target
scheduling value, and the HSUPA user throughput rate is only 32 Kbit/s.

Objective:
• Provides RTWP optimization solutions for heavy-traffic cells.

• Guides site engineers directly for the troubleshooting of RTWP problems

in the live network.

An Example of RTWP Too High (Real-
Time Trace in Country A)
 High traffic causes the following RTWP abnormalities: The RTWP remains high during
busy hours, and the RTWP sharply increases in a short time during busy hours.

RTWP Optimization Solution—
Optimization of CQI Feedback Period
 Optimization of CQI feedback period
 Basic principle and application scenario
 Basic principle: The shorter the CQI feedback period is, the better the downlink data transmission is.
The longer the CQI feedback period is, the lower the load is.
 Application scenario: any scenarios where the HSUPA cell capacity needs to be expanded and the
cell RTWP needs to be reduced.
 Gain and risk
 Gain: On the office in country A, the CQI feedback period is changed from 2 ms to 8 ms. After
optimization, the average value of the RTWP traced in real time is reduced by about 8 dB. The
average RTWP value of hour-level traffic statistics is reduced by about 10 dB.
 Risk: After this solution is implemented on offices A and B, there is no impact on the entire network.
 Version in which the solution is implemented
 In RAN13.0, parameters are baselined to 4 ms. Parameters are modified manually in earlier versions
(If internal parameters are involved, you need to obtain the commands for modifying internal
parameters from the PDT manager of the product line.).
 Priority
 High

 RTWP Optimization Solution—
Optimization of CQI Feedback Period
 Optimization of CQI feedback period
 Application effect (on the office in country A)
 Modify the CQI feedback period from 2 ms to 8 ms. The RTWP average value is
reduced by about 8 dB in real-time trace (-76.97-> -85.05).
 The load overshoots in a short time, and the frequency decreases obviously.

RTWP Optimization Solution—Access
Parameter Optimization (A)
 Access parameter optimization
 Basic principle and application scenario
 Basic principle: By reducing the spike of the preamble open-loop power control on the
uplink RTWP in RACH initial access, the RTWP is significantly reduced in the cell with
frequent RACH access (thousands of times per hour).
 Application scenario: This solution is mainly used for indoor coverage scenarios, and for
cells with frequent subscriber access and high RTWP.
 Gain and risk
 Gain: After the Constantvalue parameter is modified on the office in country C, the RTWP
average value is reduced by 3 dB to 4 dB. After PreambleRetransMax, PowerRampStep
and Mmax parameters are modified, the average RTWP value is reduced by 1 dB.
 Risk: For indoor coverage scenarios, the access delay increases.
 Version in which the solution is implemented
 All
 Priority
 High
