Summary

Testing & study done earlier in Huawei where the location of UE is lies between 2 sectors, different
of 2 sectors RSRP is almost 0. When the neighboring is turning on, SINR degraded from 28dB to 18dB.
SINR vary according to the difference between serving sector RSRP and neighboring sector RSRP.
SINR is greatly impacted when the RSRP of serving cell is the same with neighboring cell regardless
number of neighboring.
When the RSRP difference >24dB according to the study results above, the SINR is not much
impacted when the neighboring cells are turning ON.

Background
During drive testing especially during SSV & cluster optimization, expected to
have 0% network loading to ensure the testing result meeting the contractual
target.

In current Webe network, there are users consist of existing TmGo, I9 and newly
release Webe users.

Different stage of network loading will affect the throughput.

DL Throughput Per RB (Live Network Unloading)

Throughput varies depending on PRB allocation to UE in live network

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential 26

Ampang South Cluster Case

Median SINR=15.3dB from throughput/RB,

suppose to get 11.25Mbps if allocated full
25RBs.
E.g during DT, 20-30% of PRB are
occupied by other users average in all cells.
By average of 80% PRB utilization by test
UE, DL TP=(23RB*0.8)*0.45=8.28Mbps

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential 27

Ampang South Cluster

Many factors are affecting average

PDSCH bitrate especially UE is in the
mobility mode.
Most significant factors are network
loading (PRB usage) & radio condition.
Most of the RSRP >-105dBm & SINR
>0dB.
This means this cluster is still having
quite a good radio condition.

From UE DL Max PDSCH vs the UE

PRB Utilization, the trend shows a
similar distribution with TBS rate.
This shows that with the distributed
PRB, UE be able to achieve the
corresponding throughput closer to
3GPP TBS.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential 28

Ampang South Cluster

SINR>4, CQI>7

98.7% UE reports CQI>=7, 85% UE reports

CQI>=10. Modulation from eNodeB is as
below.
Modulation Percentage
16QAM 20.48%
64QAM 71.88%
QPSK 7.65%

UE reports 66% of rank2

2 66.56%

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential 29

Ampang South Cluster

From SINR, CQI, MCS analysis earlier, the performance of eNodeB is in healthy condition.
Hence, network loading might be another reason that limited the PRB allocated from
eNodeB especially in good RSRP & SINR.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential 30

Ampang South Cluster
To validate schedule
fairness & resources
usage, multiuser testing
in same RF condition
were conducted earlier.
eNodeB allocate
fairness of RB to all
users where all user
having equal
throughputs.

In live network, users

are allocated in
different RF condition.
eNodeB will allocate
RBs accordingly to all
users.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential 31

Ampang South Cluster
In hourly OSS stats, all
cells/sites are having PRB
utilization from existing traffic
even not in drive test window.

E.g. CB0679_Kemboja having

high PRB utilization comparing
to other sites.

Higher PRB utilization will be

noticed in real time if those cells
are traced as hourly OSS is
averaging the utilization in an
hour.

Drive Test Coverage KPI Requirement

There are RSRP & SINR KPI evaluation under Coverage & Quality category. The KPIs are:
SSV: SV_01, SV_02
PAC & FAC: PV_01, PV_02
SAC: GV_01, GV_02
SSO: OV_01, OV_02

DT Route vs Coverage Plot Ratio (Golden Cluster)
Blue Line: >-105dBm Polygon
Orange Line: >-85dBm Polygon
Grey Line: DT Route
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential
DT route is designed base on coverage
plot with RSRP>-105dBm, which is P1
criteria.
UE is moving within RSRP<-105dBm
according to DT route designed. Hence,
there is much possibility of UE moving
out to area RSRP <-85dBm.
Dependent on the ratio, RSRP samples
is not reasonable to achieve >-85dBm
(Urban) as required even when
evaluating the DT route designed.
Ratio of DT Route vs Coverage
RSRP >= -85dBm = 46.77%
RSRP < -85dBm = 53.23%
