Deactivate the RAN1702: Frequency Domain Equalizer feature; see

Deactivating RAN1702: Frequency Domain Equalizer.

Start an HSUPA call and FTP data transfer in the uplink direction and measure
the throughput during the appropriate time.

Terminate the HSUPA call.

Activate the RAN1702: Frequency Domain Equalizer feature; see Activating

RAN1702: Frequency Domain Equalizer.

Execute steps 3 and 4 again.

Compare the measured throughputs. The throughput with the RAN1702:

Frequency Domain Equalizer feature enabled is higher.

Expected outcome

Note: TheRAN1702:FrequencyDomainEqualizerfeaturehasbeenactivated
successfully,whichresultsinthethroughputincrease.

1.5.7 Deactivating RAN1702: Frequency Domain Equalizer

Followthisproceduretodeactivatethisfeature.
Procedure
1

Open the BTS Site Manager.

Go to the Commissioning panel

Go through the Wizard steps up to the HSUPA Settings page by clicking the
Next button at the bottom of the page.

Uncheck the Frequency Domain Equalizer in use parameter to disable

the RAN1702: Frequency Domain Equalizer feature.
