Lesson Objectives

By the end of this lesson you will be able to

perform parameter optimization
to improve the network

Parameters Plan Optimization | 2

Main Topics
 Describe vendor-specific optimization parameters
 Explore the parameter optimization Wizard
 Review the parameter optimization report

Parameters Plan Optimization | 3

Parameters Plan Optimization
Depending on your network vendor, Mentor enables you to optimize
certain parameters to improve the network:

 Ericsson – CQI
 Optimize this parameter statically or dynamically to improve its
precision and utilize its entire range, in order to improve the
feedback the HSDPA UE gives the sector to which it is connected.

 Huawei – SHO Quality Threshold

 Mentor reduces the number of unacknowledged handover
requests by preventing links with bad quality from being added or
requesting to be added to the active set.

Parameter optimization can be run at any time during the

network optimization phase.

Ericsson Parameters
The parameter plan optimization enables you to optimize the following
Ericsson HSDPA parameters:

 hsMeasurementPower – CQI correction based on HS-DSCH power

resources.

 CqiAdjustmentOn – Dynamic CQI correction based on ACK/NACK.

 deltaCqi1 – CQI Tx power offset with uplink DPCCH in single or softer

handover.

 deltaCqi2 – CQI Tx power offset with uplink DPCCH in soft handover.

Huawei Parameters
The parameter plan optimization enables you to optimize the
Huawei minimum and maximum range for the SHOQualMin
parameter threshold:

 Min. SHO quality threshold

 Max. SHO quality threshold

Parameters Plan Optimization | 6

Parameters Optimization Wizard
The Parameters Optimization wizard guides you through the
process of planning and optimizing the parameters.

Parameters Plan Optimization | 7

Parameters Optimization Wizard – General
 Enter a Name for the new parameter plan.
 If required and available, you can select a predefined Template.

 You can use the Time Filter to filter the network model logs to
specific dates or days.

Parameters Plan Optimization | 8

Parameters Optimization Wizard – Ericsson
The Parameters page enables you to select the
parameters to be optimized.

 CQI offset – correct the CQI reading and use the entire range of CQI
values (hsMeasurementPowerOffset).

 CQI dynamic adjustment – dynamically correct the CQI, based on the

NACK_TARGET_RATIO_THRESHOLD parameter (CqiAdjustmentOn).

 CQI transmission power – define the power at which to transmit the

CQI, relative to the pilot (deltaCqi1 and deltaCqi2).

Parameters Plan Optimization | 9

Parameters Optimization Wizard – Huawei
 Min. SHO quality threshold – minimum Ec/Io value for the threshold.
 Max. SHO quality threshold – maximum value for the threshold.

Running the Optimization
 Use the Summary step to view a summary of the optimization,
including the data consistency checks.

 Click Finish to run the optimization and

use the Calculation pane to review
its status.

 As soon as the optimization run has completed, its status changes to

Valid, and the Parameters Optimization Completed dialog box is
displayed.
