Introduction
The aim of this report is to show the status of RTWP and
load in MTN network and our recommendations to
improve them.

Overview
RTWP is the Uplink Received Total Wideband Power.
The RTWP is indicated by the VS.MeanRTWP counter, if the
value of VS.MeanRTWP is greater than -100 dBm then the
uplink load and the HSUPA uplink capacity are limited.
The average HSUPA throughput is indicated by the
VS.HSUPA.MeanChThroughput counter. If the average HSUPA
throughput of an HSUPA user is smaller than 150 kbit/s, this
user is processing low-speed data services.
The following charts show the average VS.MeanRTWP and
VS.HSUPA.MeanChThroughput over the period between 13
and 17-May-2013.

Actions & recommendations


In order to reduce the RTWP mean value, increase the throughput,
enhance the user experience, and make sure the algorithms are
working well, the following actions are done or recommended:
Four CAC algorithm switches have been activated for 360 cells.
Intra frequency LDB algorithm switch has been activated for 118
cells.
PUC algorithm switch has been changed for 34 cells.
Four LDR algorithm switches have been activated for 304 cells.
64QAM and DL L2ENHANCED function switches have been
activated for 29 cells.
DC-HSDPA function switch has been activated for 4 nodeBs.
Parameters discrepancies have been sent to be checked.
2nd carrier is preferred to be activated for the cells with high RTWP
or high load.
Configuring IRAT HO is preferred to be an option for LDR especially
for the 2G cells with low TCH utilization.
Changing the IRAT parameter Qoffset1sn from 15 (which makes
the probability of selecting inter-RAT neighboring cells smaller) to
normal (0) is preferred.

Actions & recommendations


The performance of the network will be checked after applying the
previous actions. The following features could be checked also for
specific cases (if any) for any further needed improvements:
1. HSUPA UL Interference Cancellation: this feature reduces uplink
interference and improves uplink system capacity. It is used
when the system needs to support a small number of HSUPA
users that require high throughput and a large number of HSUPA
users that require low throughput.
2. Dual-Threshold Scheduling with HSUPA Interference
Cancellation: recommended for a cell where the following
conditions are met:
. The feature HSUPA UL Interference Cancellation is activated.
. The operator wants to further increase the HSUPA capacity in
the uplink.
. The cell's uplink load is heavy. For example, the load
constantly exceeds the value for MaxTargetUlLoadFactor.

3. HSUPA Anti-interference Scheduling: This feature is used to

reduce the impact of strong interference on the network,


maintaining a high HSUPA throughput and significantly
improving user experience. This feature is not recommended in
some scenarios and it should be studied well before applying.

. To apply the previous features, the prerequisites (including HW ones)


should be available.
