UMTS Trial cluster DL Throughput (Busy hours)

• UE is in auto UMTS mode

• Average DL throughput is 6.6Mbps with
DC-HSDPA
• 64 % samples of DL Throughput is more
than 2Mbps

UMTS Trial cluster UL Throughput

• More than 50 % sample throughput is less

than 56kbps
• Average HSUPA throughput is 1.33Mbps
• From OSS RTWP is very high, causing
poor UL throughput. Kindly refer to next

UMTS RTWP Analysis
In trail cluster, RTWP increases with increase in traffic. For cell detail kindly consider attached excel.

RTWP

As per traffic trend, high RTWP is due to Traffic

UMTS RTWP Improvement Plan
• The RTWP improvement trail will follow below step

1. Enable below switch of power control Algorithm

PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_ADAPTIVE_ADJ_SWITCH, PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_INIT_SEL_SWITCH
Gain :
When the subscriber amount is large and the rate is low, the gain of this feature is obvious. For example, more than fifteen 10 ms
subscribers that only have small amounts of data to be retransmitted are online and uploading at the same time. If the power offset of data
channels for these subscribers all can be adjusted, the HSUPA capacity of the cell can improve by more than 40% without object load
increase, which is shown by the increase of the average throughput or the increase of uplink data transmission subscriber number at the
same time.

Risk :
The gain is not obvious for frequently link-deleting/link-establishing subscribers or subscribers with too short lasting time links

Execution Command :
SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: PcSwitch=PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_ADAPTIVE_ADJ_SWITCH-
1&PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_INIT_SEL_SWITCH-1;

Rolloback Command :
SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: PcSwitch=PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_ADAPTIVE_ADJ_SWITCH-
0&PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_INIT_SEL_SWITCH-0;

KPI to Monitor :
General KPI, UL throughput, RTWP

2. Change the CQIfeedack period from 2ms to 8ms

changing the CQIfeedback period will reduce the uplink signaling load.
Gain :
The UL load will reduce, cell capacity increases, call drop rate decreases, RTWP improves

Risk :
DL cell throughput might decrease a bit.

Execution Command :
RNC Level ： SET UHSDPCCH:CQIFBCK=D8,CQIFBCKFORSHO=D8;  (CQI feedback period from 2ms to 8ms) ;
if cell level selected, need to implemented on selected cells.
Cell Level : SET UCELLHSDPCCH:CELLID=123,CQIFBCK=D8,CQIFBCKFORSHO=D8; EXECUTION_CQIFBCK_Script_Cluster Cell_RNC1.txt

Rollback Command :
RNC Level ： SET UHSDPCCH:CQIFBCK=D2,CQIFBCKFORSHO=D2;  (CQI feedback period from 2ms to 8ms) ;
if cell level selected, need to implemented on selected cells.
Cell Level : SET UCELLHSDPCCH:CELLID=123,CQIFBCK=D2,CQIFBCKFORSHO=D2;
Rollback_CQIFBCK_EXECUTION_Script_Cluster Cell_RNC1.txt

KPI to Monitor :

3. Enable power control Algorithm “load-based target BLER selection algorithm”

PC_BLER_TARGET_BASE_CELLLOAD_SWITCH
Gain :
The UL load will reduce, cell capacity increases, call drop rate decreases, User experience improve

Risk :
No risk.

Execution Command :
SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: PcSwitch=PC_BLER_TARGET_BASE_CELLLOAD_SWITCH-1;

Rollback Command :
SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: PcSwitch=PC_BLER_TARGET_BASE_CELLLOAD_SWITCH-0;

KPI to Monitor :
General KPI and RTWP

4. Enable below switch of power control Algorithm ”

PC_RL_RECFG_SIR_TARGET_CARRY_SWITCH
When this switch is turned on, the UL SIRTarget value is sent to the NodeB if the RNC is reconfiguring the radio link.
When this switch is turned off, a new initial SIRTarget value, during radio link reconfiguration, is based on the converged SIRTarget value of
current outer loop power control
Gain :
The UL load will reduce, cell capacity increases
Risk :
NO risk

Execution Command :
SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: PcSwitch=PC_RL_RECFG_SIR_TARGET_CARRY_SWITCH-1 ；

Rollback Command :
SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: PcSwitch=PC_RL_RECFG_SIR_TARGET_CARRY_SWITCH-0;

KPI to Monitor :
General KPI and RTWP

5. Enable the feature “Adaptive Configuration of Traffic Channel Power offset for HSUPA ”
When to use : The Adaptive Configuration of Traffic Channel Power offset for HSUPA feature increases the HSUPA capacity of
networks. This feature monitors changes in the uplink data rates of UEs and uplink network load and adaptively configures
optimal power control parameter settings for UEs in the small retransmission state
Feature id : WRFD-010712
License Control Item: WRFD-010712
Hardware dependency : This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware
Prerequisite Features : HSUPA Introduction Package (WRFD-010612)

SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: PcSwitch=PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_INIT_SEL_SWITCH-1;
SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: PcSwitch=PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_ADAPTIVE_ADJ_SWITCH-1;

Rollback Script
SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: PcSwitch=PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_INIT_SEL_SWITCH-0;

Gains :
Uplink capacity increase and RTWP improves.
