Improvement Solution
www.huawei.com
As MBB network developing, the increasing requirement for mobile bandwidth, the
capacity of wireless network, especially the radio capacity(user/cell throughput)
become the bottleneck. How to provide more big pipe capacity with limited resource, it is
question of all operators and device vender.
The influence factors for uplink throughput including RTWP, coverage, cell maximum
equivalent user number, HSUPA user number, CE, IUB bandwidth...
The influence factors for downlink throughput including TCP, BLER, HSDPA user number,
CE, IUB bandwidth...
UL&DL capacity improvement service evaluate the network with tools quickly, discover
network bottleneck in time, dig out the potential sale chance, improve customer satisfaction.
Description
For high RTWP cell in free time, maybe due to external interference or RF
engineering problem, See the UMTS RTWP Troubleshooting Guide to
check interference and make optimizations.

Description
For high RTWP cell with low service load in busy hour, maybe due to
neighbor cell configuration or indoor antenna problem, suggest to do some
RF optimization.
Application

Description
If the RTWP is high in free hour, and customer cant find the root cause and solve
interference after RTWP troubleshooting. For the cell with stable background noise, you
could synchronize the real background noise through Automatically background noise
update algorithm, which will improve HSUPA available load.
Fixed setting : -106 by default
Automatic update : deliver the value detected during the night to Node B
- Keep the background noise consistent with the real value of background noise.
- HSUPA available scheduling load may be increase.
Disadvantage:
- The background noise reference must be recorded without any user in the cell.
Application
RNC MMLMOD UCELLCAC: BGNSwitch=ON, BGNAdjustTimeLen=120,
BGNEqUserNumThd=0, BgnStartTime=01&00&00, BgnEndTime=06&00&00,
BgnUpdateThd=5, BgnAbnormalThd=100;
Description:
On commercial networks some site experience strong and random external UL interference.
The traditional HSUPA scheduling algorithm considers only the total RTWP of a cell
=> available load resources are reduced and the HSUPA throughput decrease.
With this feature, UEs HSUPA scheduling is performed based on the cell RTWP and traffic volume of
HSUPA UEs in the cell.
If the traffic volume (HSUPA and R99 users) is lower than the predefined threshold, HSUPA
scheduling can be performed even if the ROT of the cell increases to a very high value.
If there is no interference, this feature is useless and has no impact on any KPIs.
Application
RNC MMLMOD UCELLCAC: BackgroundNoise = 61;
Baseline61, equal to -106dB. Manually update to the mean RTWP value in free hour without users,
it could get according to RNC counter.
Rule:
Busy Hour:
Or
NODEB cell unhappy user proportion > 30% (Target Overload Limit)
Description:
The uplink feedback channel HS-DPCCH of HSDPA consume part of uplink load
More and more HSDPA user online at the same time in the cell (> 20 users);
HSDPA uplink feedback channel contribute a big part of RTWP load.
It is recommended to optimize HSDPA CQI feedback period, to reduce impact on
uplink.
Application

8ms)
Cell Level
ADD UCELLHSDPCCH: CELLID=xxx, CQIFbCk=D8, CQIFbCkforSHO=D8;
Description:
HSUPA scheduling depends on UL load. You can optimize the value of
target ROT
The Higher is the target load => the more load is available for HSUPA
The defaulted target load is 75%, we suggest to modify to 90%.
Application
RNC MMLADD UCELLHSUPA: MaxTargetUlLoadFactor=90;
Description:
RACH access preamble adopt open-loop power control
When the coverage is bad or massive RRC access exist => UE TX power
could increase quickly involving RTWP peaks.
In order to control RTWP peaks, RACH access parameters could be
optimized. (More effective for indoor massive user scenario)
Description:
The current target BLER value is benefit for HSUPA user with high throughput in
good coverage.
If many users are online at the same time with low throughput => UE sends high
power in order to transfer low throughput (bad power efficiency)
In that case target BLER optimization parameter from 1% to 10% is recommended
which will the UE Tx power and the nb of TB retransmission
Application
RNC MMLinner parameters, contact with HQ before using.
Description:
In CELL_DCH state, when there is no data transmission, UE still need to send
dedicated channel DPCCH and HS_DPCCH =>
control channel load is high when many users are online, and generates a big part
of ROT.
After enabling HSPA state transfer switch, user will move to CELL_FACH or
CELL_PCH state when there is low date transmission

(default = 20)
Description:
HSUPA 2ms TTI provide better throughput but will easily involve RTWP
peaks when data bursts appears, especially in dynamic CE active scenario.
HSUPA 2ms TTI require more TX power, so we suggest to open 2ms/10ms
TTI switch based on RTWP.
If 2ms period retry switch is on, massive 2ms/10ms ping-pong switch may
exist in case of RTWP peaks => close the 2ms retry switch
Disadvantage: Lower throughput with TTI 10ms when the user have real
high throughput requirement.
